ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
I'M A OWNER OF A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER LIMITED AND STARTING TO BECOME FRUSTRATED AND SCARED TO DRIVE THIS BEAUTIFUL CAR. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE CAR STALLS OUT (LOOSES POWER, ELECTRICAL, POWER BRAKES/ STEERING, EVERYTHING) WHEN SLOWING DOWN AT A RED LIGHT, STOP SIGN, PARKING SPOT, ETC. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND SEVERAL REPAIR SHOPS CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM AND THEY ALL TELL ME THAT THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT COULD BE AND THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON THE ISSUE. JUST WANTED TO SEE WHAT IF ANYTHING YOU SUGGEST FOR ME TO DO AS THIS I NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED AND PROBABLY NOT THE LAST. THANKS *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
2007 JEEP COMMANDER, 92,000 MILES, STALLS WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I WAS ABLE TO GUIDE VEHICLE TO SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RE-START THE ENGINE. THIS STALLING PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED ON ABOUT TEN OCCASIONS NOW, ONCE WITH MY KIDS ON BOARD, A SCARY SITUATION TO SAY THE LEAST. SOMETIMES BEFORE THE PROBLEM STARTS THE PARK ASSIST WILL TURN ITSELF OFF AND THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON. WE HAVE TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO GET AN ERROR CODE FROM THE COMPUTER SYSTEM BY TURNING THE KEY 3 TIMES IN A ROW BUT IT NEVER RETURNS A CODE. SOMETIMES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL STAY ON FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS BUT EVENTUALLY GOES OUT AND THE JEEP WILL RUN FINE UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN. THE LAST TIME THIS OCCURRED THE ABILITY TO SHIFT THE GEARS FROM 1 TO 4 WAS INOPERABLE AND WHEN YOU PRESSED THE GEAR SHIFT RIGHT OR LEFT IT REMAINED IN DRIVE. I HAVE CALLED SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS AND HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT THEY HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING OF THIS PROBLEM AND THEY WANT ME TO PAY TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC RAN BUT CAN'T CONFIRM WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
MY SON TRIED TO OPEN THE PASSENGER DOOR AND FOUND IT WOULD NOT OPEN DUE TO A BROKEN PANEL AROUND THE DOOR LATCH HANDLE. I ALSO FIND THAT OTHER DOOR LATCHES ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM AND FIND THAT A PERSON COULD BECOME TRAPPED IN THE VEHICLE. THE DRIVERS DOOR LATCH IS ABOUT TO FAIL ALSO AT THIS TIME. I HAVE NOT REPLACED THE PARTS AS YET AND FIND THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
RIGHT TAIL LIGHT ON MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER KEEPS GOING OUT. DEALERSHIP SERVICE TOLD ME THAT THE TIPM SYSTEM KEPT BLOWING THE FUSE. I HAD REPLACED THE FUSE SEVERAL TIMES BUT THE TAIL LIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT. I HAVE ACTUALLY PULLED UP BEHIND OTHER COMMANDER AT RED LIGHTS AND NOTICED THAT THE SAME LIGHT WAS OUT ON THEIR VEHICLE AS WELL. YOU NEED TO LOOK INTO THIS. ONE DOESN'T EXPECT TO HAVE THE TAILLIGHT KEEP GOING OUT AFTER REPLACING BULBS AND FUSES. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER HAS NOW STALLED 4 TIMES FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE ENGINE DIES AND I LOSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. THE FIRST TIME WAS WHEN I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT. I MANAGED TO RESTART IT AND NO HARM WAS DONE. THE SECOND TIME I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, AND AGAIN I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT AND NO HARM WAS DONE. THE THIRD TIME WAS LAST WEEK. THIS TIME IT STALLED AND I COULD NOT RESTART IT. I HAD IT TOWED TO A DEALER, SHERMAN JEEP IN SKOKIE, IL, FOR REPAIRS. THEY HAD IT A WEEK AND CHARGED ME $616.00 AND COULD NOT GIVE ME A SATISFACTORY EXPLANATION AS TO WHY IT STALLED. ON THE WAY HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP I TOOK THE EXPRESSWAY AND THE CAR STALLED AT 65 MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. IT WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AND I ALMOST COLLIDED WITH A TRUCK. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE. I MANAGED TO GET IT OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, BUT IT WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY START. AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES I TRIED IT AGAIN, AND THIS TIME IT STARTED. I GOT HOME, BUT I AM SCARED TO DEATH TO DRIVE THIS CAR. *TR
