POWER TRAIN, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY BOYFRIEND AND I WERE DRIVING HOME FROM DINNER AND ABOUT HALF WAY HOME THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED ACCELERATING AND THE SPEED DROPPED FROM 70 MPH TO 40 AND KEPT SLOWING DOWN. WE HAD TO PULL OVER AND TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON. THE CAR HAS DONE THIS SEVERAL TIMES SINCE AND A LIGHT COMES ON THAT SAYS "SERVICE PARK ASSIST". I HAVE READ UP ON THIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL AND HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE THAT HAS NOT BEEN DEALT WITH! THIS IS ALSO A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE. I ALSO FOUND THAT IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE "PARK ASSIST" BUT RATHER THE TRANSMISSION IN THE TRUCK AND THAT MANY HAVE FAILED WELL BEFORE 50,000 MILES BUT SHORTLY AFTER JEEP'S 35,000 MILE WARRANTY. JEEP DID NOT COVER MY CAR BECAUSE I BOUGHT IT USED WHICH TERMINATED THE WARRANTY BECAUSE I WAS NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED - THIS IS MY FIRST JEEP - AND I HAVE WANTED A JEEP FOR YEARS. THE CAR STILL DECELERATES AT TIMES - I CAN BE IN TRAFFIC OR PULLING OFF FROM A STOP OR TURNING A CORNER AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT IS NOT SHIFTING OR ACCELERATING. I CAN'T AFFORD A NEW CAR RIGHT NOW BUT AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY FAMILY'S SAFETY. PLEASE READ UP ON THE MANY ARTICLES AND COMMENTS FROM PEOPLE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND SAVE LIVES!!! WITH SO MANY COMPLAINTS AND CLOSE-CALL ACCIDENTS I WOULD THINK THAT SINCE IT IS 2011 SOMETHING WOULD HAVE BEEN DONE BY NOW!

POWER TRAIN
MY 8 MONTH PREGNANT WIFE WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND THE PRND LIGHT ALL LIT UP AT THE SAME TIME. THE DASHBOARD READ "SERVICE PARK ASSIST BRAKE" AND THE CAR QUIT ACCELERATING AND THE LIGHTS TURNED OFF. LUCKILY NOBODY WAS DRIVING BEHIND HER AND SHE WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR. IF THIS HAPPENS WHILE TURNING ONTO THE ROAD YOU COULD EASILY BE HIT FROM THE SIDE OR FROM BEHIND. WE HAD A COUPLE OTHER INCIDENTS OF LOSS OF ACCELERATION, BUT BOTH TIMES THE CAR STARTED ACCELERATING AGAIN AFTER 5 OR 10 SECONDS. IN EVERY INSTANCE THE PRND ON THE DASHBOARD LIGHT UP AT THE SAME TIME.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
WHILE DRIVING AT SLOW SPEED SUCH AS SLOWING TO STOP OR TAKING OFF FROM A DEAD STOP THE TRUCK STALLS AND HAS TO BE PUT IN PARK AND RESTARTED. THIS HAPPENS QUITE FREQUENTLY, AND WHEN DRIVING ON INTERSTATES WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE THE TRUCK ALSO STALLS OR HAS A POWER FAILURE WHERE IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE IT ITS A GOVERNED SPEED AND THE ENGINE WON'T LET YOU SPEED UP. THE COMPUTER NOW IS HAVING ISSUES SAYING THAT THE ENGINE COOLANT IS TOO COLD, THOUGHT THE THERMOSTAT IS WORKING FINE AS WELL AS THE GAUGES INSIDE THE TRUCK. THE COMPUTER IS ALSO GIVING A CODE OF AN ERROR WITH THE BAROMETRIC PRESSURE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER ALL FOUR GEARS WOULD SHOW THEM BEING HIGHLIGHTED (P-N-R-D) AND WHEN THIS WOULD HAPPEN IT WOULD LOSE POWER AND SLOW DOWN TO A POINT WHERE THERE WAS A CONCERN ABOUT BEING REAR ENDED IF IT COULD NOT BE PULLED OVER. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE. IN LOOKING ON THE INTERNET THIS IS NOT A ISOLATED INCIDENT BUT IS OCCURRING NATION-WIDE. THE SERVICE MANAGER EVEN SAID THAT THEY GET ABOUT ONE OF THESE A MONTH. THIS IS JUST ONE DEALER AND APPEARS TO BE NATION-WIDE FROM WHAT I SAW ON THE INTERNET. BOTH THE DEALER AND CHRYSLER HAVE SAID THAT THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT EXCEPT REPAIR THIS PROBLEM AT THE CONSUMERS EXPENSE. THIS IS DEFINITELY A PROBLEM THAT CHRYSLER IS IGNORING BUT SOMEDAY THEY MAY BE FACING A LAW SUIT IF THEIR IS A BAD ACCIDENT. *TR

WE HAVE A 2007 JEEP/COMMANDER SPORT THATS REALLY SOMEWHAT A PROBLE SINCE WE BOUGHT IT (USED) AND ITS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE GETTING IT. IT HAS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH LURCHING FORWARD WHILE IN PARK/DRIVE AND WHILE YOU'RE PRESSING THE BRAKES AT A STOP. IT DID IT AT THE DEALERSHIP AS WELL THEY DID NOTHING ABOUT IT. WE'VE REPLACED INNER PARTS TO THE TRANSMISSION THAT CHRYSLER REFUSED TO COVER UNDER THE WARRANTY. WE'VE HAD SOME TYPE OF MODULE REPLACED A COUPLE OF TIMES BECAUSE THE TRUCK STARTED RUNNING ROUGH( CHRYSLER COVERED THAT) EACH TIME IT HAPPENED. THERES SO MUCH WE CAAN COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS TRUCK AND CHRYSLER DOESNT WNAT TO COVER NON OF THE MAJOR THINGS. THERE'S DEFINITELY /ALWAYS HAS BEEN AN ENGINE PROBLEM. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
AT INTERMITTENT TIMES THE VEHICLE WOULD DELAY UPON PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR AND NOT SHIFT PROPERLY. IT WAS TAKEN TO BE SERVICED AFTER THE TRANSMISSION REVERTED TO "SAFE MODE" WHILE DRIVING. DEALER RESET THE SYSTEM. ACCELERATION AND SHIFTING PROBLEMS CONTINUED UNTIL "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT ILLUMINATED TOGETHER WITH THE "SERVICE PARKING ASSIST SYSTEM" MESSAGE. WERE INFORMED BY THE DEALER THAT THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE WAS FAULTY AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. DEALER ALSO INFORMED US THAT THE PART HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY REPLACED BY AN AUTHORIZED JEEP SERVICE CENTER PRIOR TO US PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER HAS STALLED AND LOST VARIOUS VEHICLE FUNCTIONS. THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES WITH NO PRIOR WARNINGS FROM THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. I HAVE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. MY COMMANDER HAS ONLY 33K MILES ON IT. THE DEALER SAID THE PROBLEM WAS SOME SORT OF "ELECTRONICS BOARD", THEY REPLACED IT. HOWEVER, THE JEEP HAS STALLED AGAIN AND NOW THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT IS ON AGAIN! THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THE COMMANDERS. I ASK NHTSA TO PLEASE SERIOUSLY CONSIDER A RECALL TO CORRECT THESE ISSUES. THE COMMANDERS ARE NOW CREEPING UP IN AGE AND ARE NOW OUT OF FACTORY WARRANTY. PLEASE HELP TO CORRECT THESE ISSUES BEFORE THERE ARE MORE INJURIES OR DEATH. LETS KEEP IN MIND THAT THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE WHO PURCHASED COMMANDERS ARE USING THEM AS A "FAMILY VEHICLE"! THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP IN THIS MATTER. *TR
