UNKNOWN OR OTHER
AT RANDOM TIMES, WHEN TRYING TO START THE JEEP IT WONT START AND SAY TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP. AT FIRST IT WOULD TAKE A COUPLE DAYS BEFORE IT WOULD START AGAIN. I USED IT FOR A FEW MORE DAYS AND IT DID THE SAME THING. A COUPLE HOURS LATER IT STARTED BACK UP. AFTER A FEW MORE TIMES OF HAPPENING IVE NOTICED YOU CAN PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND BACK IN PARK AND SOMETIMES IT RESTARTS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS LOOKED AT IT AND SAID THEY HAD ANOTHER ONE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM BUT NO FIX FOR IT.

DRIVING AT 55 MPH AND SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND STALLED. THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL AS THE ANTI LOCK BRAKE LIGHT. I COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CAME TO A STOP. I STARTED THE VEHICLE RIGHT BACK UP AND DROVE STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM BUT FOUND A STORED CODE THAT THEY SENT TO CHRYSLER FOR CLARIFICATION. DEALERSHIP SAID THEY WOULD CONTACT ME WHEN THEY HEARD FROM CHRYSLER WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
SUDDENLY OUT OF NOWHERE MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER V6 JUST START JERKING AND DRIVING VERY POORLY. IT ONLY STAYS IN THIRD GEAR AND THE MIL LIGHT INDICATOR IS ON. IT ALSO JERKS AND SEEMS LIKE THERE'S ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I'VE READ ONLINE HUNDREDS OF USERS POSTING THE SAME ISSUE BUT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THE VEHICLE YET. THIS IS VERY IRRITATING AND THIS COULD'VE EASILY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I DO NOT EVER PLAN ON PURCHASING AN AMERICAN MADE VEHICLE EVER AGAIN. THE JEEP DEALER WILL NOT ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I STILL HAVE THE ISSUE. *TR
