ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY JEEP HAS BEEN STALLING OUT AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE DRIVING. TODAY IT STALLED TWICE WHILE MOVING. IT ALWAYS STARTS RIGHT BACK UP WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS. MOST OF THE TIMES IT STALLS SITTING AT A LIGHT. ONCE IT STALLED GOING 65MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND STARTED RIGHT BACK UP BY ITS SELF. THE OTHER DAY IT STALLED AND IT STARTED BACK UP THEN A FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD THE INFORMATION CENTER BEEPED AND HAD A WARNING SAYING CHECK GAUGES. THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE WAS ON COLD AND IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE MIDDLE (NORMAL) BECAUSE I HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR A LITTLE BIT. I DROVE IT TO WORK AND CALLED THE JEEP DEALERSHIP TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT FOR AFTER WORK THAT DAY. AT THE END OF THE DAY WHEN I STARTED IT UP TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THE WARNING "CHECK GAUGES" WAS GONE. I TOLD THE SERVICE REP AT THE DEALERSHIP WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND THAT ITS BEEN STALLING OUT. THEY CALLED THE NEXT DAY AND SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I DRIVE THE CAR EVERYDAY AND THERE IS SOME VERY WRONG WITH THE CAR. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CHILDREN IN IT AND WE DON'T TAKE IT ON THE HIGHWAY NOW. I WOULDN'T FEEL RIGHT TRADING IT IN AND GIVING SOMEONE ELSE THE DEATH TRAP. BESIDES THE CONCERN FOR MY FAMILIES SAFETY, I'M WONDERING IF AN ACCIDENT WAS CAUSED BECAUSE MY CAR STALLED OUT HOW WOULD I BE ABLE TO PROVE THAT IT WAS BECAUSE THE CAR STALLED WHEN THE DEALERSHIP IS SAYING THERE'S NOTHING WRONG. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE BECAUSE CHRYSLER SEEMS TO NOT BE CONCERNED. *TR

ON OR ABOUT THE ABOVE DATE THE RPMS ON MY VEHICLE RACED UP AND THE CAR SUDDENLY LUNGED FORWARD, IT HAPPENED AGAIN A FEW TIMES AFTERWARD WITHOUT ANY CHECK ENGINE CODES. I HAD IT CHECKED BACK THEN AND NOTHING WAS FOUND BECAUSE NO CODES WERE PRESENT.THIS HAPPENED A COUPLE OF TIMES A YEAR SINCE I OWNED IT, BUT NOTICED IT HAPPENS WHEN IT'S RAINING. TODAY 3/12/2013 (HEAVY RAIN) MY WIFE WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND IT RACED & LUNGED FORWARD JUST MISSING A PEDESTRIAN. I IMMEDIATELY BROUGHT IT TO A NEIHBORHOOD JEEP DEALER & EXPLAINED THE SEVERITY OF THE SITUATION. HE WAS VERY ACCOMODATING AND TOOK IT IN IMMEDIATELY. AFTER A FEW HOURS IN THE SHOP & A TEST DRIVE ,AGAIN, NOTHING FOUND. THERE WERE NO ENGINE CODES PRESENT, ALL OTHER COMPONENTS WERE WITH-IN SPECS. I ASKED IF THIS IS A SIMILAR PROBLEM TO THE 2006 RECALL, HE SAID POSSIBLY, BUT THIS VIN. IS NOT UNDER RECALL. (I BELIVE THE 2006 RECALL WAS THE POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE.) I AM NOT SURE WERE TO GO WITH THIS BUT THIS NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED BY JEEP BEFORE AN ACCIDENT HAPPENS. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE AT 65MPH MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, A MESSAGE STATING "SERVICE PARKING ASSIST SYSTEM" APPEARED, AND DRNP WAS BLOCKED ON THE FRONT DASH. THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND ACCELERATION AND BEGAN TO FEEL AS IF THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS APPLIED AT FULL FORCE. I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY, TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON. ONLINE RESEARCH SUGGESTS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM INVOLVING THE ELECTRONIC SHIFTING MODULE AND/OR CONNECTION ISSUES WITH THE REAR PARKING ASSIST SENSORS. THIS PERVASIVE PROBLEM SHOULD BE RECTIFIED WITH A RECALL AT NO COST TO CUSTOMERS. *TR

THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED ON ME AT LEAST 30 TIMES. IT OCCURS WHILE IDLING AT A STOP AND ALSO AT SLOWER SPEEDS. AFTER RAINY DAYS SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE WON'T START. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT SO THE DEALER CAN'T FIX IT. IT SETS OFF NO ENGINE CODES. I HAVE HAD MANY ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE HOWEVER THIS ONE IS VERY UNSAFE. *TR

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER WITH 4.7 LITER V8 HAS STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. IT HAS HAPPENED AT IDLE, WHILE SLOWING, WHILE ACCELERATING, AND WHILE DRIVING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS (60-70 MPH). EACH TIME IT HAS RESTARTED AFTER TAKING THE TRANSMISSION OUT OF GEAR, TURNING THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION, AND RESTARTING THE ENGINE. THIS IS POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS IF IT HAPPENS UNDER THE WRONG CIRCUMSTANCES SINCE YOU, OF COURSE, UNEXPECTEDLY LOSE POWER ASSIST ON BOTH BRAKES AND STEERING WHEN THE ENGINE DIES. *TR

JUST PURCHASED USED 2007 COMMANDER SPORT V6 AT 58458 MILES... DROVE IT ON VACATION FROM DETROIT TO WILMINGTON, NC APPROX. 900 MILES. TRIP WENT WITHOUT INCIDENT UNTIL WE DROVE DOWN TO SEE THE OCEAN TURNED OFF THE CAR, WALKED ALONG THE BEACH FOR ABOUT A HALF AN HOUR, CAME BACK TO THE CAR, TURNED THE IGNITION AND ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. HOWEVER, ALL THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS SEEM TO BE FUNCTIONING EXCEPT THE STARTER. AT THE DEALER NOW AND WAITING TO SEE WHAT THEY TELL ME. I SPENT 25 PLUS YEARS WORKING IN DEALERSHIPS, MOSTLY CHRYSLER, NOT AS A MECHANIC BUT I HAD MY FAIR SHARE OF EXPOSURE TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. SIGNED, STRANDED IN NC *TR

EACH TIME IT HAS RESTARTED AFTER TAKING THE TRANSMISSION OUT OF GEAR, TURNING THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION, AND RESTARTING THE ENGINE. THIS IS POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS IF IT HAPPENS UNDER THE WRONG CIRCUMSTANCES SINCE YOU, OF COURSE, UNEXPECTEDLY LOSE POWER ASSIST ON BOTH BRAKES AND STEERING WHEN THE ENGINE DIES. THE DEALER CLAIMED TO HAVE FIXED IT ONCE, BUT IT CONTINUED TO STALL. IT HAS NOW BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR 3 WEEKS AND NEITHER THEY NOR THE CHRYSLER ENGINEERS THEY HAVE CONSULTED CLAIM TO HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT IS CHRYSLER NEEDS TO MAKE THIS RIGHT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
AFTER A SCHEDULE TUNE UP, WHERE TWO COIL PACKS WERE REPLACED, AND A PCM SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS PERFORMED OUR 2007 JEEP COMMANDER BEGAN STALLING AT SLOW SPEEDS. USUALLY UNDER 20 MPH OR AT A STOP WHEN THE ENGINE IS AT OR NEAR IDLE SPEEDS, THE ENGINE WILL OBRUPTLY STALL WITHOUT WARNING. THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND NO ERROR CODE. OUR LOCAL JEEP DEALER HAS MADE SEVERAL REPAIR ATTEMPTS INCLUDING REPLACING THE PCM, AND SHIELDING THE ENGINE WIRING HARNESS WITH ALUMINUM FOIL. THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. THE KEY MUST BE CYCLED TO THE 'OFF' POSITION TO RESTART THE ENGINE. THE ENGINE HAS STALLED AT HIGH SPEEDS A FEW TIMES MAKING FOR A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

THE CAR WILL SLOW DOWN AND THE SERVICE PARK LIGHT WILL POP ON THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THE DAY I PURCHASED THE CAR. I HAVE TAKEN INTO THE SHOP PLENTY OF TIMES AND THEY KEEP TELLING ME NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS IT HAS ONLY GOTTEN WORSE. IT HAS DONE THIS ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE GOING 75 MILES AN HOUR. I HAVE HAD TO PULL OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WAIT LIKE 5 MINUTES BEFORE I CAN TAKE OFF AGAIN. THIS IS REALLY BECOMING A PROBLEM AND I AM AFRAID TO EVEN PUT MY GRANDBABY IN THE CAR WITH ME BECAUSE I'M AFRAID THIS WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE JUST RECENTLY WENT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME FOR THEM TO CHECK MY CAR AND I HAVE BEEN TELLING THEM THIS ISSUE FROM THE DAY I HAD MY CAR AND MY WARRANTY WAS STILL IN PLACE, BUT THEY CONTINUED TO TELL ME NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. *TR

THE CAR HAS BEEN STALLING OVER THE PAST 4 MONTHS. NORMALLY THE STALLING HAS OCCURRED WHEN THE CAR WAS IDLING. LAST WEEK THE CAR DID THE SAME THING BUT AT A MUCH HIGHER RATE OF SPEED (60 MPH). THE CAR SHUT OFF AND I LOST POWER STEERING. MULTIPLE LIGHTS HAVE BEEN COMING IN THE DASH OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS AND MY AUTOMATIC WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAVE STOPPED WORKING. ALSO, MY AUTOMATIC GATE OPENER SOMETIMES JUST WILL NOT WORK. THERE ARE SIMILAR ISSUES WITH 2006 AND 2008 VEHICLES AND BOTH OF THOSE HAVE RECALLS, BUT I NOTICED THAT THE 2007 DOES NOT. *TR

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME SEVERAL TIMES IN THE TWO YEARS I'VE OWNED THIS VEHICLE. EVERY TIME I TAKE IT TO THE SHOP THE MECHANICS SAY THEY CANNOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE SO CANNOT FIX IT. FIRST THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON AND NO CODES WILL APPEAR WHEN RUN. A COUPLE DAYS LATER (MOSTLY WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, OR ANY SPEED ABOVE 30MPH) I WILL BE DRIVING AS USUAL AND BEGIN TO INCREASE SPEED ON THE ON RAMP FOR THE INTERSTATE AND THE ENGINE WILL TAP OUT AT 45MPH. I WILL PRESS THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND THE ENGINE WILL NOT REV AND THE RPM'S WILL NOT INCREASE. I TRIED TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND BACK INTO DRIVE AND NOTHING CHANGED WITH THE ENGINE. ALL THE WHILE I HAD MY ONE YEAR OLD CHILD IN THE CAR WITH ME. EVERY TIME I TRY TO RESEARCH WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY JEEP I JUST SEE THE SAME COMPLAINT FROM THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY AN ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED IMMEDIATELY! I DON'T CARE IF THEY HAVE TO GIVE ME A NEW JEEP I NEED SOMETHING SAFE FOR MY FAMILY! *TR

AFTER STOPPING AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS, STOP SIGNS OR AWAITING TRAFFIC TO CLEAR IN ORDER TO MAKE TURNS, THE ENGINE STALLS BUT WILL RE-FIRE AFTER PLACING TRANSMISSION IN PARK OR NEUTRAL AND TURNING THE IGNITION KEY. (I JUST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND OUT FROM THE PREVIOUS OWNER THAT THE PROBLEM BEGAN DURING THE SUMMER OF 2012, RESULTING IN THE TRADE-IN BECAUSE TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. DEALERS REPLACED THE FOLLOWING: MAP SENSOR, CAM AND CRANK SENSOR, EGR VALVE, CLEANED THROTTLE BODY, REPLACED THE PCM, SPARK PLUGS, REPLACED AIR IDLE CONTROL VALVE, REPLACED BATTERY. NONE OF THE ABOVE HAVE FIXED THE STALLING PROBLEM WHICH COULD GET ONE KILLED IN TRAFFIC.) *TR
