UNKNOWN OR OTHER
VEHICLE STALLS FOR NO REASON. USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN PULLING FROM MY DRIVEWAY AFTER BEING PARKED. AFTER DRIVING FOR A FEW HUNDRED YARDS, TO THE INTERSECTION OF THE MAIN ROAD. UPON HITTING THE BRAKE AND STOPPING, THE VEHICLE STALLED. IF I HAD ROLLED INTO THE INTERSECTION, I WOULD HAVE BEEN RIGHT ON A MAIN ROAD WITHOUT ENGINE RUNNING. NO WARNING, IT JUST STALLS. I HAD THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE THE IGNITION SWITCH, BUT THAT WAS REPLACED ALREADY, AND THIS HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS ALMOST IN THE SAME PLACE AND SITUATIONS EVERY TIME. I START THE VEHICLE, AND WITHOUT MUCH DELAY, BACK OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. PULL DOWN THE STREET, MAKE A RIGHT TURN AFTER ABOUT 40 YARDS. MAKE A LEFT TURN AFTER ABOUT 100 YARDS. THEN MOVE FORWARD TO THE STOP SIGN AT THE MAIN INTERSECTION ABOUT 80 YARDS FURTHER. UPON STOPPING, THE VEHICLE STALLS. IT'S HAPPENED ABOUT 10 TIMES IN THE PAST 3 YEARS, AND TWICE IN THE PAST WEEK. IT SURELY IS A DANGER, BECAUSE I LOSE POWER AND COULD ROLL INTO AN INTERSECTION OR CAUSE ANOTHER HAZARD.

SEAT BELTS
REAR SEATBELT LATCHES ARE BREAKING, AND SUSCEPTIBLE TO BREAKAGE. THE ORANGE RELEASE BUTTON ON THE SEATBELTS BREAK EASILY. MY CONCERN IS THAT IT WILL HAPPEN WHEN THERE'S AN EMERGENCY AND THE OCCUPANT MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE DEFECTIVE MATERIAL IN THE LATCH RELEASE, POSSIBLY TRAPPING THE OCCUPANT. I SUSPECT THAT THE MATERIAL USED FOR THESE PLASTIC RELEASE LATCHES WAS INCORRECTLY SPECIFIED, AND BECAME BRITTLE OVER TIME.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, STEERING
I WENT TO START MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER AND IT WOULD TURN OVER, BUT IT WOULD NOT START. I FINALLY WORKED WITH IT A LITTLE BIT AND GOT IT TO START, BUT THEN MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT. I CUT IT OFF AND TRIED IT AGAIN AND EVERYTHING WENT BACK TO NORMAL. HOWEVER, WHEN I GOT GOING, THERE WAS A HORRIBLE GAS SMELL COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THIS STARTING ISSUE HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND EVERY TIME THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT A PUBLIC PLACE AFTER IT HAD BEEN RUNNING FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES.

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN I AM DRIVING ON THE MAIN CITY ROAD OR HIGHWAY I NOTICE ABOUT THREE THINGS THAT HAPPEN ALL AT ONCE. THE FIRST THING IS I LOSE CONTROL OF MY STEERING. THE SECOND THING IS IT FEELS LIKE MY JEEP WENT INTO PARK CAUSING ALL MY WHEELS TO BREAK FOR 1 TO 3 SECOND. THE THIRD THING IS IT FEELS AS THE ENGINE STALLED. ALL THESE THINGS HAPPEN AT THE SAME TIME. THIS CAUSES MY JEEP TO STOP OR STALL ON THE ROAD SENDING ME AND MY PASSENGERS TO LOUNGE FORWARD AS IF I HAD HIT AN INVISIBLE WALL AT FULL FORCE.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
REPLACED BEZEL GEAR SELECTOR 3 TIMES SINCE 2006. AS OF SEPTEMBER 2016 A 4TH REPLACEMENT IS REQUIRED PER GOLLING CHRYSLER. VEHICLE ATTEMPTS TO STALL AFTER 1-2 SECONDS WHEN STARTING FROM A STOPPED POSITION. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATES AND A SERVICE MESSAGE APPEARS STATING "SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM." SEVERAL TIMES FROM 2006 - 2016 THE VEHICLE ALMOST STALLED WHEN ENTERING INTERSECTIONS OF CITY STREETS. WHENEVER CONDITION OCCURED THE PART WAS REPLACED (3 TIMES). PART CAUSING THE CONDITIONS IS PART# CH68004143-AF PRNDL BEZEL GEAR SELECTOR AND CH52108308-AC CONNECTOR ELECTRICAL (TRANSMISSION). I BELIEVE THE GEAR SELECTOR AND TRANSMISSION TO BE DEFECTIVE DUE TO THE FREQUENT FAILURE WHICH COULD CAUSE A SAFETY INCIDENT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THIS RECALL HAS BEEN SINCE 2014. I AM A LITTLE AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS JEEP FOR FEAR IT WILL QUIT WHILE DRIVING. OTHER PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY HAD AN ACCIDENT SO HOW LONG DO WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR A FIX. IT CAN ALSO CAUSE THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY SO THAT'S A REAL PROBLEM. EITHER FIX WHAT U HAVE INSTEAD OF MAKING MORE VEHICLE OR BUY THEM BACK
