SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE
MY FRONT BRAKES LOCKED UP WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY THE FIRST TIME 11/4/10. I WAS TOLD FROM THE DEALERSHIP THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THIS ISSUE, BUT GOT AN ERROR FROM THE CAR THAT SAID THE FRONT RIGHT WHEEL WAS GOING FASTER THEN ALL THE REST OF THE TIRES AND THE ABS ACTIVATED AND LOCKED UP THE FRONT WHEELS. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN 12/15/10 AND THE ABS, SLIPPERY WHEN WET, ESP, BAS, AND SERVICE 4 WHEEL DRIVE LIGHTS CAME ON. THE DEALERSHIP TESTED IT AGAIN AND GOT THE SAME ERROR MESSAGE. THEY REPLACED THE SENSOR ON THE FRONT RIGHT PASSENGER WHEEL, AND STATED THAT THIS MAY HAVE FIXED IT, BUT THAT THEY ARE NOT 100% SURE HOW TO FIX THE ISSUE. I BELIEVE THIS IS SIMILAR TO RECALL 06V493000. I HAVE ALSO FILED A CLAIM WITH CHRYSLER. NO ONE WILL HELP ME. I AM AFRAID FOR MY SAFETY AS WELL AS MY FAMILIES IN THIS CAR. I CAN NOT AFFORD A CONTINUOUS RENTAL OR TO PURCHASE A NEW CAR. I AM NOW OUT TIME LOSS AT WORK, CAR RENTAL, TOWING, AND COSTLY REPAIRS. PLEASE HELP ME. *TR

VEHICLE STALLS WHENEVER IT WANTS TOO. DRIVING DOWN FREEWAY AT 70MPH VEHICLE WILL TURN OFF AND ALL SYSTEMS SHUT DOWN CAUSING IT TO BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. VEHICLE STALLS AT STOP SIGNS AND SIGNALS AS WELL. SOMETIMES IT WILL GO FOR WEEKS WITHOUT STALLING AND THEN WILL SUDDENLY STALL WITHOUT WARNING. DEALER CAN NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG AND WANTS TO PLAY THE GUESSING GAME WITH FIXING IT, HAVE REPLACED MANY DIFFERENT PARTS,OVER $500 SO FAR, BUT STILL STALLS. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I HAVE A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. NOT THE LIMITED EDITION. IN THE 4 MONTHS THAT I HAVE OWNED IT, IT HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING 3 TIMES RESULTING IN A NEW ESM, SUDDENLY LUNGED FORWARD, ON ITS OWN, WHILE STOPPED IN TRAFFIC, AND NOW STRANDED OUR FAMILY TWICE WITH NOT STARTING. THE FIRST TWO PROBLEMS ARE A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO AND RECALLED IMMEDIATELY. STALLING WHILE DRIVING IS BEYOND DANGEROUS! WITH THE SUDDENLY ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN WHILE I WAS STOPPED IN TRAFFIC, HAD I NOT HAD MY FOOT FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE, SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN HURT. MY AUTISTIC SON WAS IN THE CAR WITH ME ON THAT OCCASION AND ON THE STALLING OCCASIONS, ALL 4 OF MY KIDS WERE IN THE VEHICLE. I HAVE LOST ALL CONFIDENCE IN MOPAR PRODUCTS AND JEEP NEEDS TO RECALL THESE HUNKS OF JUNK BEFORE SOMEONE, OR AN ENTIRE FAMILY, GETS HURT OR KILLED. PLEASE MAKE JEEP FIX THESE PROBLEMS IMMEDIATELY TO AVOID DISASTER LIKE TOYOTA HAS FACED. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2007 JEEP COMMANDER 85K MILES PROBLEM STARTED WITH SERVICE PARK ASSIST LIGHT COMING ON. CAR THEN WOULD NOT ACCELERATE FOR 10-15 SECONDS. APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS LATER (YESTERDAY) SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED. THIS TIME I WAS ON THE ON RAMP TO THE HIGHWAY WHERE THEY ARE DOING CONSTRUCTION. THERE IS NO BREAKDOWN LANE, SO WHEN YOU GET ON THE HIGHWAY YOU ARE IN FIRST LANE. AS SOON AS I GOT INTO THE FIRST LANE, THE SERVICE PARK ASSIST LIGHT CAME ON, THE P R N D LIGHTS WERE ALL ILLUMINATED, THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AGAIN FOR APPROXIMATELY 20 SECONDS AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS AGAIN, THERE IS NO BREAKDOWN LANE TO PULL OVER. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, THEY CANNOT TAKE THE CAR FOR A COUPLE DAYS. AFTER READING THE COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER 2007 JEEP OWNERS WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM, I PRINTED THESE AND BROUGHT THEM TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY INDICATED THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM AND THAT I CAN PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND TAKE IT FROM THERE. I WAS ALSO GIVEN THE TELEPHONE NUMBER FOR CHRYSLER. I HAD MY SON IN THE CAR, I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR AND WILL HAVE TO FIND AN ALTERNATE ROUTE TO WORK AS THIS EXIT WILL BE THIS WAY FOR SOME TIME AND HAD A CAR BEEN CLOSER BEHIND ME, WE WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
LEAVING A PARKING LOT AND ACCELERATING AS I DROVE. ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE VEHICLE STARTED STALLING AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE EVEN IF THE GAS PEDAL WAS PUSHED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL. THEN THE VEHICLE STARTED ACCELERATING BACK TO NORMAL, BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REAMINED ON. I TOOK IT TO AUTO ZONE TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK DONE AND THEY GAVE ME A CODE AND SAID THAT IT WAS NOT A PART THAT THEY CARRIED ONLY FROM THE MANUFACTURER. IT HAS HAPPENED A COUPLE OF TIMES BEFORE TODAY AND ON THE DASH IT WOULD SAY SERVICE PARK ASSIST AND THE GEARS PRNDL ARE ALL HIGHLIGHTED.THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO AND IT WAS THE SHIFTER. IT ONLY HAD ABOUT 40,000 MILES. IT HAD TO BE COMPLETELY REPLACED. IT WAS NOT COVERED BY MY EXTENDED WARRANTY BECAUSE IT WAS AN EXTERNAL PART OF THE TRANSMISSION. IT COST CLOSE TO $600.00. NOW IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN AND I DON'T WANT TO REPLACE IT AGAIN IF IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN IN A YEAR OR TWO.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, TIRES
MY 2007 COMMANDER, RECENTLY KEEPS ALARMING ME SERVICE PARK ASSIST WHILE LIGHTING UP ALL THE DRIVE BOXES, WHILE IM DRIVING. WHEN IT DOES THIS I CANNOT GIVE THE CAR GAS SO I HAVE TO PULL OVER, SHUT THE CAR OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON. ITS BEEN DOING THIS ON AND OFF FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS. USUALLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, I WILL TAKE IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND WHEN THEY HOOK IT UP TO THE TESTER, IT DOESN'T TELL THEM ANYTHING IS WRONG AND THEY MANUALLY SHUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OFF. THE LATEST INCIDENT I WAS DRIVING ON THE TURNPIKE AND IT DID THIS, I WAS TERRIFIED BECAUSE MY TWO KIDS WERE WITH ME AND I HAD TO CUT OVER THREE LANES, PULL OFF AND SHUT THE CAR DOWN AND RESTART IT. TODAY ALL THE DRIVE OPTIONS WERE BOXED IN WHILE I WAS DRIVING BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT NEVER EVEN CAME ON, IT JUST WOULDN'T LET ME GAS AND I HAD TO DO THE SAME THING PULL OVER, SHUT OFF AND RESTART. MY TIRES ARE ALSO SHOWING UP FOR LOW PRESSURE, AND THE TIRE DEALER TOLD ME THE TIRES ON THIS MODEL ARE KNOWN FOR SMALL HOLES AROUND THE OUTSIDE RING OF THE TREAD, WHICH OF COURSE CANNOT BE FILLED. *TR
