I DROVE TO THE STORE AND THE TRUCK DROVE FINE. I PARKED AND WENT IN THE STORE FOR ABOUT 15 MINS. CAME OUT AND TRIED TO START THE TRUCK. I WOULD START AND STOP AFTER ABOUT 3 SECONDS. I HAVE CHANGED SPARK PLUGS. WIRES. IGN. COILS. CHECKED FUSES. THE ONLY THING I CAN TELL YOU AFTER TROUBLESHOOTING IS THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ENGINE HAS 0 COMPRESSION. I HAVE LOOKED ON FORUMS AND IT SEEMS LIKE HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS OF JEEP OWNERS ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM. THEY SAY ITS THE WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE. I CAN'T SEEM TO FIND THE WCM ANYWHERE TO BUY, AND I HAVEN'T SEEN A RECALL FOR THIS ITEM.

ENGINE
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. ENGINE SURGED RPMS AND LOST ALL POWER WHILE DRIVING. I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND STARTED IT BACK UP. UPON PARKING, RPMS SURGED AGAIN, VEHICLE TRIED TO PULL FORWARD BEFORE THE RPMS DROPPED AND STALLED THE ENGINE IN DRIVE. I CHECKED USED MY SCAN TOOL TO CHECK THE CODE AND IT CAME BACK P1521 WHICH IS FOR WRONG ENGINE OIL. I USED ROYAL PURPLE 5W20 IN MY LAST OIL CHANGE. IT DROVE THE VEHICLE FOR 2098 MILES BEFORE THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED WITH NO ISSUES IN BETWEEN. I NOTICED THE 4.7 LITRE HAD A RECALL DONE FOR THE SAME EXACT ISSUE AND IT BEING A SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR THE POWER CONTROL MODULE.

ENGINE
I BOUGHT THIS JEEP 10-4-19. SINCE I'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE IT HAS STALLED MULTIPLE TIME WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPEN WAS WITH MY 18 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. I FIRST THOUGHT SHE JUST DID SOMETHING WRONG AND DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF THE ISSUE. UNTIL I WAS TAKING MY SON TO A BASEBALL CAMP IN UT KNOXVILLE. IT DIED ON US TWICE WHILE GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IT TOOK US ABOUT 5-10 MINUTES AND IT FINALLY WOULD START BACK UP AND RUN NORMAL. ON THE TRIP HOME IT RAN FINE UNTIL WE CROSSED OVER THE GEORGIA STATE LINE AND IT DIED ONE MORE TIME. I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY. I READ SOMEWHERE THAT IT WAS A GROUNDING ISSUE SO I PULLED THE GROUND WIRES OFF TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE TOUCHING METAL. THIS HASN'T HELPED AND THE VEHICLE WILL STILL STALL WHILE DRIVING OR AT STOP LIGHTS. I BOUGHT THIS FOR MY KIDS TO DRIVE BUT LIKE EVERYONE ELSE I'VE READ ABOUT. I'M AFRAID TO LET MY KIDS OR WIFE DRIVE THIS CAR. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED CONSIDERING THIS SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE. I'VE STARTED DOCUMENTING THE TIMES IT STALLS TO SEE IF THERE IS A PATTERN. 11/7/19 8 PM IN TRAFFIC, 11/12/19 8 AM IN TRAFFIC, 11/20/19 LOWS PARKING LOT, 12/2/19 10:17 PM AT RED LIGHT - THEN AGAIN 10:29 AT ANOTHER RED LIGHT DOWN THE ROAD. ALSO THE SPEEDS WERE FROM 35 MPH TO 75 MPH DOESN'T MATTER.

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES NOW, I HAVE BEEN DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 70 MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE IS A DING ON THE DASH BOARD AND THE CAR STALLS, AND THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. ONCE YOU SHUT DOWN THE CAR AND START IT AGAIN THE CAR WORKS FINE BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS, ACCORDING TO JEEP THEY CHARGE FOR A DIAGNOSIS AND I SEE ONLINE THAT THIS IS HAPPENING A LOT IN MY TYPE OF VEHICLE BUT JEEP HAS YET TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT. I THINK IT IS VERY DANGEROUS SINCE I HAVE BEEN DRIVING ON A FREEWAY WHERE PEOPLE ARE DRIVING AS FAST OR FASTER THAN ME AND COULD CAUSE A PROBLEM.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE REMOTE CAR STARTER STARTS MY VEHICLE? BUT 5-10 SECONDS LATER IT SHUTS BACK OFF AND MY RADIO TURNS ITSELF ON AND OFF EVEN WHILE ITS NOT ON. THE DISPLAY GOES BLACK, MAKES A CLICK, SHOWS THE JEEP LOGO, BARS WHERE THE TIME SHOULD BE, 12:00, THEN THE REAL TIME, THEN DOES IT ALL OVER AGAIN THE ENTIRE TIME THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING. THERE IS ALSO A CLICKING NOISE SOMETIMES WHEN I UNLOCK THE DOORS EVEN WHILE THE JEEP IS OFF, IT ALSO HAPPENS SOMETIMES WHEN TURNING THE HEAT ON. THIS IS SOMETIMES RESOLVED BY CHANGING THE FAN TO CABIN MODE, OTHER TIMES IT CONTINUES FOR RANDOM LENGTHS OF TIME. I SEE THAT THERE WERE OTHER RECALLS REGARDING THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ON THIS MODEL & AM WORRIED ABOUT DRIVING IT IN CASE IT TURNS INTO A MORE SERIOUS ISSUE. WHEN LOOKING AT RECALL INFORMATION ON KBB.COM IT SAYS MY VIN IS A PART OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM RECALL FOR POWER TRAIN TRANSFER CASE, BUT WHEN I CHECK IT HERE IT SAYS THERE ARE NO INREPAIRED RECALLS. I AM NOT SURE IF IT HAS ALREADY BEEN FIXED, OR IF MY VEHICLE IS Y A PART OF IT, BUT THERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING GOING WRONG NOW.

A WINDOW WENT ABOUT 1/3 OF THE WAY DOWN AND STOPPED. COULD NOT GET IT TO GO UP OR DOWN AFTER THAT. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT THE TIME. WE WONDERED IF IT WAS THE MOTOR. WE WATCHED A VIDEO ON THE INTERNET ON HOW TO CHECK IT AND IT SAID TO CHECK THE WIRES BEHIND THE DOOR PANEL BECAUSE IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE TO HAVE BROKEN WIRES AND LOW AND BEHOLD THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HAD HAPPENED. WINDOWS NEED TO OPEN AND CLOSE.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY JEEP COMMANDER HAS HAD 3 DIFFERENT MECHANICAL DIAGNOSTICS TO DIAGNOSE WHY THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF CONTINUALLY WHILE IN MOTION OR STOPPED. THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS RECENTLY REPLACED AS A PART OF A RECALL AND THIS HAS NOT SOLVED THE ISSUE EITHER. THE JEEP WILL RANDOMLY SHUT OFF, AND ALL POWER STEERING IS LOSS, CAUSING A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION UNTIL IT CAN BE PUT INTO PARK OR NEUTRAL AND TURN BACK ON. MY LAST DIAGNOSTIC SHOWED THE AUTO REPAIR SHOPPED A COMPUTER READ OF 'RUNNING' WHILE THE TRUCK HAD TURNED OFF SEVERAL TIMES RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM. I HAVE SPENT A LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY ON DIAGNOSTICS AND NO MECHANIC HAS BEEN ABLE TO FIND AN ANSWER EVEN AFTER THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPLACED AS PART OF AN ORIGINAL RECALL. I WAS TOLD BY ALL THREE AUTO REPAIR SHOPS THAT THEY KNOW THERE IS A STALLING/SHUT OFF ISSUE BUT THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIX IT BECAUSE THERE IS NO INDICATOR OF WHY THROUGH THOROUGH DIAGNOSTICS. THEY ALSO NOTED THAT WHEN THE JEEP SHUTS OFF THE DASH LIGHTS DO NOT TURN ON AS IT WOULD NORMALLY WHEN A VEHICLE SHUTS OFF. WHEN THE JEEP HAS SHUT OFF ON ME DRIVING DOWN A MAJOR ROAD AT 40 MILES PER HOUR MY ONLY INDICATOR THAT MY VEHICLE HAS SHUT OFF IS THAT MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AS THE JEEP BEGINS TO SLOW DOWN. THE NEW IGNITION SWITCH HAS NOT REMEDIED THE SHUT OFF ISSUE AND NO MECHANICAL SHOP HAS BEEN ABLE TO DIAGNOSE AND OTHER REASON WHY. ESSENTIALLY MY JEEP COMMANDER IS VERY UNSAFE WITH NO SOLUTION ABLE TO FOUND. I RESEARCHED FURTHER AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS A FRONT CONTROL MODULE RECALL ON SOME 2008 JEEP COMMANDERS ISSUED. I BELIEVE MY JEEP COMMANDER'S VIN MAY NEED TO BE ADDED TO THIS RECALL FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL BECAUSE THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL HAS NOT FIXED THE ISSUE AND NO MECHANICAL DIAGNOSTIC HAS BEEN ABLE TO ANSWER WHY. EVERYTHING ELSE IS COMPLETELY SOUND WITH THE JEEP COMMANDER EXCEPT THIS ISSUE OF SHUTTING OFF WHILE ON, IN MOTION OR PARKED.

MID WINTER OF 2018 I DROVE MY JEEP HOME AND PARKED IT ON A FLAT LANDING AND WHEN I WENT OUT TO START IT 2 DAYS AFTER PARKING IT NOTHING HAPPENED. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED BECAUSE THE PROBLEM WAS WITH MY STARTER. NOW IT IS OCTOBER 2019 AND I WAS WAITING AT A RED LIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY CITY INTERSECTION AND THE JEEP JUST SHUTS OFF. AFTER I COULDN'T GET IT STARTED UP AGAIN WE FOUND THAT IT WAS ONCE AGAIN THE STARTER. THIS HAPPENED 2 WEEKS AGO AND SINCE THEN I HAD THE STARTER REBUILT AND PUT BACK IN. THIS MORNING IT DID THE EXACT SAME THING AT THE EXACT SAME RED LIGHT. ON TOP OF THIS IT HAS BEEN OVERHEATING AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE DRIVING, IT DOES LEAK ANTIFREEZE BUT IT HAS OVERHEATED EVEN WHEN THE ANTIFREEZE WAS FULL. ALSO, OVER THE SUMMER I PARKED AT S PIZZA SHOP IN MY HOMETOWN AND LEFT IT RUNNING WHILE I PICKED UP MY ORDER. WHEN I RETURNED TO THE JEEP IT WAS STUCK IN PARK AND NEEDED THE SHIFTER REPLACED. THE COMPONENTS THAT ATTACHED THE SHIFTER TO THE ACTUAL GEARS WERE DESTROYED. I'VE HAD THIS JEEP FOR 1.5 YEARS AND IT HAS LEFT ME SIT NOW ON 4 SEPARATE OCCASIONS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT IN THE FAST LANE ON THE HIGHWAY AT AROUND 65 MPH, MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF WITH NO WARNING AND I NOTICED THAT ALL DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS A FAST-LANE SHOULDER THAT I WAS ABLE TO STEER IT ON, OR I MIGHT HAVE BEEN KILLED BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. VEHICLE WOULD NOT RE-START SO I DISCONNECTED THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE, WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND RE-CONNECTED IT AND THEN THE VEHICLE RE-STARTED BUT RAN VERY ROUGH. I PROCEEDED ALONG THE SHOULDER TO TRY AND GET OFF THE HIGHWAY, BUT THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN AGAIN. I REPEATED THE SAME PROCESS AND IT AGAIN RE-STARTED AND I MANAGED TO DRIVE HOME ON BACK ROADS AT 40 MPH. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON AT LEAST THREE OTHER OCCASIONS, BUT THE INCIDENTS OCCURRED MANY MONTHS APART, WHICH MADE ME THINK IT WAS A ONE-OFF SITUATION. I HAVE SINCE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET AND HAVE LEARNED THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO THEM. I THINK THIS IS A TRAGEDY IN THE MAKING IF CHRYSLER DOES NOT ADDRESS THIS DEFICIENCY BY ISSUING AN IMMEDIATE RECALL. I ALSO REQUEST THAT A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP INSPECT MY VEHICLE AT NO COST TO ME. YOUR PROMPT RESPONSE TO THIS URGENT MATTER WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
