FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
AFTER 3 HOURS OF DRIVING AS I WAS APPROACHING A RED LIGHT, BEGAN BRAKING THE VEHICLE STALLED. (21000 MILES) AFTER STOPPING I TURNED THE KEY TO OFF AND THEN ON BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT START. I TRIED A SECOND TIME AND THE VEHICLE STARTED BUT RPM'S WERE SPORADIC. AFTER A FEW MINUTES EVERYTHING LEVELED OUT AND DROVE FINE FOR THE REMAINING 3 HOUR DRIVE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN OFF AND ON SINCE STALLING WITH 5 VISITS TO THE DEALER FOR CORRECTION. I NOW HAVE 29000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED O2 SENSORS, REPLACED THE GAS CAP, REPROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER AND SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG AND CLEARED THE FAILURES BUT NOT 10 MINUTES FROM LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS COME BACK ON. IT HAS BEEN 8000 MILES AND STALLING HAS STARTED HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY. *TR

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!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
MARCH OF 2009 WE EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM WITH OUR 2006 JEEP COMMANDER WITH THE ELECTRONICS IN THE VEHICLE SHUTTING DOWN CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL. WE TOOK IT INTO OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY INFORMED US THAT THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE SHIFTER MODULE AND THAT IT HAD TO BE REPLACED. WELL $2500 LATER AND MISSING PARTS WE REQUESTED TO KEEP OUR VEHICLE WAS BACK IN OUR POSSESSION WITH THE PROBLEM STILL HAPPENING. NOT AS SEVERE AS WHAT IT HAD BEEN PRIOR TO SENDING IT IN, HOWEVER STILL HAPPENING. THIS EVENING MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK WHEN THIS HAPPENED AGAIN. ONLY THIS TIME THE ABS WENT OUT AND THE BRAKES STARTED PUMPING FOR NO REASON, AS WELL AS THE VEHICLE STALLING OUT WHILE DRIVING 110KMPH. WHEN HOME WE REVIEWED RECALLS RECOMMENDED FOR 2006 JEEP COMMANDERS AND THERE IS ONE WHERE IT DESCRIBES THE SYMPTOMS OUR VEHICLE IS HAVING IN QUITE DETAIL. AMONGST INVESTIGATING FURTHER IT WAS DETERMINED THAT OUT PARTICULAR VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ALTHOUGH EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS. *TR

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
