ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
IN JUNE OF 2011 I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FWY AT 70MPH WHEN THE ENGINE TURNED OFF STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND I HAS TO COAST OFF THE FWY LUCKILY IT WAS NIGHT AND LITTLE TRAFFIC (CALIFORNIA IS KNOWN FOR HEAVY FWY TRAFFIC. IT STARTED AGAIN EARLY 2012 THIS TIME THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT AT APPROPRIATE TIMES AND REV THE ENGINE WHILE MAINTAINING SPEED IN ANY GEAR AND WOULD DO THAT FOR 5-7 DAYS IN A ROW AND THEN RUN NORMALLY (THIS STILL OCCURS AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH) DEALERSHIP AND OTHER MECHANICS COULD NOT FIND AN ISSUE AND BASICALLY STATED THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING HOT AND THE FAN HAD NOT KICKED IN NO THE CASE SINCE THIS WAS WINTER TIME WHEN IT BEGAN. AS RECENTLY AS APRIL OF 2014 IT BEGAN TURNING OFF COMPLETELY WHEN SLOWLY COMING TO A STOP ANYWHERE ON THE FWY AT A SIGNAL GOING UPHILL, DOWNHILL, PARKING IN A PARKING SPACE AND THIS HAPPENS EVERY DAY ALL DAY LONG - IT NEVER DOES NOT DO IT. AT THIS TIME I HAVE 117000 AND IT IS VERY UNSETTLING AS I HAVE A 7 YEAR OLD SON, A FULL TIME JOB AND LIVE IN BUSY CALIFORNIA - THE FACT THAT JEEP/CHRYSLER IS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE REPAIR NEEDED IS PUTTING MY FAMILY AT RISK DAY AFTER DAY - I CAN BARELY AFFORD AND MAKE ENDS MEET AND THIS HAS CAUSED ME MUCH STRESS. I CANNOT AFFORD TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE AS I HAVE TRIED FOR THE PAST YEAR. PLEASE HELP ME. *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE TRAVELING ON AN EXPRESSWAY IN CENTRAL MICHIGAN, I WAS USING THE CRUISE CONTROL TO MAINTAIN A SPEED OF 75 MPH. WITH NO WARNING AT ALL, THE MECHANICAL COMPONENTS OF THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN, LEAVING MY JEEP "DEAD IN THE HIGHWAY". I WAS ABLE TO STEER AND BRAKE, BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESPOND TO ACCELERATION BY PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. I PULLED OFF TO THE SHOULDER, LUCKILY WITHOUT INCIDENT. TURNED THE KEY TO THE "OFF" POSITION AND WAITED ABOUT 10 SECONDS. I TURNED THE KEY TO THE "ON" POSITION AND IT STARTED BACK UP. I CAUTIOUSLY DROVE AT A CONSIDERABLY SLOWER SPEED UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO GET TO A REST STOP. WHEN I GOT TO MY DESTINATION I FOUND A LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE AND HAD THEM DO A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK. IT SHOWED A MAF SENSOR GONE BAD. MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR WAS REPLACED. HOPING THAT WAS THE ISSUE, AFTER SEVERAL DAYS, MY FAMILY AND I HEADED BACK HOME ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STATE. WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 60 MPH WITH CRUISE CONTROL, THERE WERE NO ISSUES. I FIGURED THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. UNFORTUNATELY, I WAS WRONG. AS I REACHED THE HIGHWAY WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS 70 MPH, I ACCELERATED TO 70 MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL. AS SOON AS I BROKE THE 70 MPH POINT, THE CAR MECHANICALLY STALLED AGAIN AS I WAS TRYING TO MERGE ONTO THE BUSY HIGHWAY. AGAIN, LUCKILY, I MADE IT SAFELY TO THE SHOULDER AND RESTARTED. I WAS ABLE TO EXCEED 70 MPH ON THE WAY HOME WITHOUT USING THE CRUISE CONTROL. CONCERNED FOR MY PREGNANT WIFE, TODDLER SON, AND MY OWN SAFETY, AS THIS HAPPENED ON A BUSY HIGHWAY AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED; WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS OR SOUNDS. *TR

STRUCTURE, STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
BASICALLY THE DOOR HANDLE MECHANISMS DISINTEGRATED. THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT AND REAR DOOR PLASTIC THAT SURROUNDS THE DOOR HANDLES BROKE INTO SEVERAL SMALL PIECES AND FELL INSIDE THE DOOR. I FEEL THIS IS A DANGER BECAUSE EVENTUALLY THE CABLE THAT OPENS THE DOORS WILL BREAK AND I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO OPEN THE DOORS. I HAVE CHECKED INTO HAVING THEM REPAIRED BUT IT WAS VERY EXPENSIVE DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE PLASTIC AROUND THE HANDLES IS 1 PIECE WITH THE REST OF THE PLASTIC OF THE INSIDE OF THE DOOR. ALSO, ALTHOUGH THIS IS NOT A DANGER - THE DISPLAY SCREEN FOR ALL THE OF ELECTRONICS OF THE CAR, WENT BLACK SEVERAL YEARS AGO. I AM UNABLE TO ACCESS A LOT OF THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE CAR. WE PAID OVER $43,000 FOR THE CAR - THESE THINGS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. THE DOOR HANDLE REALLY SCARES ME. I HAVE SIGNED PETITIONS TO HAVE THIS RECALLED AS WELL AS CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER. IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. THANK YOU *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
LESS THEN TWO WEEKS AFTER THE PURCHASE OF THE 2006 COMMANDER (PURCHASED ON 8/10), THE DASH STARTED TO FLICKER OFF AND ON AT RANDOM TIMES - SLOW AND FAST. AS I WOULD DRIVE IT WOULD GET WORSE AND I WOULD LOSE RPM, MPH, LIGHTS AT NIGHT, WIPERS DURING STORMS, RADIO, AIR, HEAT, DEFROST, ALL DASH WARNINGS FLASHING ON AND OFF, ETC. THE DASH WOULD GO BLACK AND THEN THE CAR WOULD STALL. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS ON A HWY GOING 65 AND HAD TO DRIFT TO THE SIDE WITHOUT KILLING MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE. I STARTED THE CAR BACK UP WITH NO PROBLEM. TWO HOURS LATER I WAS AT A STOP SIGN AND IT DID THE SAME THING. 8/27/14 TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT. THE THIRD TIME IT SURGED, I WAS IN A STORM CROSSING OVER A TWO LANE BRIDGE - DASH FLASHING, LIGHTS/DEFROST/RADIO/WIPERS ON AND OFF, AND THEN NOTHING BUT DARKNESS AND CAR STALLED - I HAD NOWHERE TO GO. I LOST ALL CONTROL WITH THE CAR AND ONLY GOING 35MPH. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO HIGH POINT OF THE BRIDGE WITH PASSING CARS BEEPING AND FLASHING THEIR LIGHTS AT ME. I STARTED THE CAR AND HAD THE REPEAT EXPERIENCE THREE MORE TIMES BEFORE GETTING HOME USING THE EMERGENCY BREAK - BRAKES LOCK WHEN CAR STALLS. 9/20/14 I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT. I WAS DRIVING 35 ON A HIGHWAY AND IT STARTED AGAIN AND I DECIDED TO TAPE THE ACTIVITY WITH MY PHONE - DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING BUT HAD TO SHOW SOMEONE WHAT WAS GOING ON - DEALER TOLD ME THEY COULD GET ME IN TO LOOK AT IT IN 4 DAYS. 10/13/14 DEALER PUTS ME IN A JUNK CAR AND SAYS THEY ARE GOING TO FIX IT AND WANTS ME TO BE SAFE. THINKS IT IS A RECALL. LOVE THE CAR BUT DON'T WANT TO DIE IN IT BECAUSE OF AN ELECTRICAL SURGE. MY CONCERN IS THAT THESE COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN COMING IN SINCE 2007 AND IT IS JUST NOW GETTING ATTENTION. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I WISH I WOULD HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH BEFORE BUYING THE CAR, SHAME ON ME. *TR
