ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO, MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4, 4.7L, LIMITED, INEXPLICABLY STALLED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 60 MILES PER HOUR. SINCE THAT FIRST STALLING EPISODE, THIS HAS OCCURRED AT LEAST 30 MORE TIMES. IT HAPPENS IN THE CITY, THE FREEWAY, DURING ACCELERATION, AND UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS VEHICLE TO THE JEEP DEALER ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. EACH TIME, THEY TELL ME THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. FURTHERMORE, THEY TELL ME THAT THIS IS AN ISOLATED PROBLEM THAT THEY HAVEN'T HEARD ABOUT BEFORE. A SIMPLE INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS IS A WIDELY REPORTED PROBLEM AND OWNERS REPORT THE SAME EXPLANATIONS FROM THE DEALERSHIPS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, STEERING
I AM WRITING TO EXPRESS MY CONCERN REGARDING AN ENGINE PROBLEM WITH MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER, THAT CAUSES THE ENGINE TO STALL, AND ALL POWER TO SHUT DOWN AND THE ENGINE TO COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. WHILE AT FIRST THIS PROBLEM WAS SIMPLY AN INCONVENIENCE, I SOON LEARNED HOW DANGEROUS THIS PROBLEM ACTUALLY IS. I WAS ON A HIGHWAY AND I WENT TO PASS ANOTHER CAR, MID-PASS MY ENGINE STALLED AND I LOST ALL POWER WITH ANOTHER CAR COMING AT ME HEAD-ON. THANKFULLY THE OTHER CAR WAS ABLE TO STOP AND WE AVOIDED A HEAD-ON COLLISION AT HIGHWAY SPEED, BUT THE OUTCOME COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DIFFERENT. THE STALLING HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH MY JEEP NOW FOR AT LEAST TWO YEARS, WITH NO RESOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM IN SIGHT. I HAVE FOLLOWED ALL SUGGESTIONS LIKE NOT HAVING A KEY CHAIN AND ONLY USING HE KEY IN MY IGNITION WITH NO CHANGE IN THE FREQUENCY OF THE STALLING. IT SEEMS A BIT RIDICULOUS THAT THERE HAS BEEN NO SOLUTION TO THIS VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. A CASE WAS OPENED BY CHRYSLER IN JANUARY REGARDING MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER STALLING WITHOUT WARNING. THE STALLING CONTINUES TO BE A VERY DANGEROUS AND UNPREDICTABLE PROBLEM FOR ME. IN MY LAST COMMUNICATION I WAS ASSURED THAT MY JEEP WOULD BE FIXED WHEN THE PART BECAME AVAILABLE, I HAVE HEARD NOTHING SINCE JANUARY. NOT ONLY AM I CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND OTHERS WHEN I DRIVE MY CAR, I AM ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT THE ADDITIONAL STRESS THIS FLAW IN MANUFACTURING IS PUTTING ON THE ENGINE OF MY CAR. ITS EXTREMELY FORTUNATE THAT NO ONE HAS BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED DUE TO THE STALLING PROBLEM TO DATE, BUT I FEAR IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL SOMEONES CAR STALLS AT THE WRONG MOMENT AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO AVOID TRAGEDY. IM HOPING SOMEONE CAN HELP WE GET RESOLUTION TO THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE AS CHRYSLER HAS DONE NOTHING SO FAR.

MY FAMILY (HUSBAND & 2 SMALL CHILDREN) WERE DRIVING HOME ON THE MIAMI TURNPIKE IN CRAZY TRAFFIC. WE HIT A SPOT ON THE ROAD WHERE 2 ROADS MEET AND THE ENGINE COMPLITLEY TURNED OFF. I FREAKED OUT BECAUSE A CAR WAS BEHIND ME AND IT WAS BUSY TRAFFIC. ONCE MY SENSES KICKED IN I STARTED WIGGLING THE KEY AND TURNED IT AND THE CAR STARTED BACK UP. I DID NOT WANT TO DRIVE HOME! MY HUSBAND CALLED JEEP AND THEY WERE CLOSED. I CALLED THE RECALL LINE THIS MORNING AT 8:00 AM AND THE SERVICE WAS HORRIBLE. I WAS TOLD IT IS MY PREROGATIVE TO KEEP DRIVING BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO FIX. I LET THEM KNOW THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. THE SUPERVISOR TOLD ME THERE WAS NO FIX THEY COULD PUT ME ON AN EMAIL LIST FOR WHEN A FIX IS AVAVILABLE!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING? THEN I SAID WHAT IF WE DIE IN AN ACCIDENT AND SUE AND SHE SAID THAT'S YOUR FAMILIES PREROGATIVE IF THEY WANT TO SUE!!!!! I ASKED TO SPEAK TO A DIFFERENT SUPERVISOR AND SHE FLAT OUT SAID NO I HAVE HELPED YOU AND I WILL NOT LET YOU SPEAK TO ANOTHER SUPERVISOR!!!!!!

P41 RECALL. BEFORE RECALL MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER TURNED OFF ON ITS OWN NUMEROUS TIMES. THIS RESULTED IN ENGINE SHUT DOWN, NO ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ETC. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER SEVERAL TIMES. I GET THE SAME RESPONSE, PART NOT AVAILABLE. WHY? I AM TOLD THE SUPPLIER DOES NOT HAVE PART. WHY NOT?. THIS IS AN OLD RECALL, HOWEVER CHRYSLER IS REPAIRING OR BUYING BACK NEWER MODELS OF VEHICLES DUE TO FAULTY DESIGN. 2006 JEEP COMMANDER RECALL IS JUST AS SERIOUS AS NEWER RECALLS. THE FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH RESULTS IN ENTIRE SHUT DOWN OF JEEP, INCLUDING AIR BAGS. I WAS TOLD TO ADJUST SEAT SO THAT KNEE DOES NOT MAKE CONTACT WITH KEYS IN IGNITION. WHAT? I SUGGEST THAT VEHICLES WITH FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH BE A PART OF THE CHRYSLER BUY BACK OR REPAIR IMMEDIATELY. ALSO, TO AVOID FURTHER SERIOUS ACCIDENTS AND POSSIBLE DEATH RESULTING FORM FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD MY AUTOMOBILE TURNED OFF AND STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING! THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND IS VERY RIDICULOUS CONSIDERING I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE OVER 1 YEAR AGO CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM. I MAKE EVERY ATTEMPT TO ENSURE THE FUNCTIONS OF MY VEHICLE ARE RUNNING PROPERLY FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. I HAVE YOUNG CHILDREN AND THEY COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED HAD WE BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AT THE TIME OF MY VEHICLE'S FAILURE TO OPERATE CORRECTLY, DUE TO THE MANUFACTURERS IRRESPONSIBILITY OF TAKING CARE OF THIS PROBLEM WITHIN A PROPER TIME FRAME! JEEP AND LOCAL DEALERS HAVE BEEN CONTACTED MULTIPLE TIMES TO TRY TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM, WITH NO HELP FROM THEM IT HAS YET TO BE REPAIRED!
