ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE HAD THE IGNITION SWITCH FIXED WITH THE PRIOR RECALL, BUT I AM STILL HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT WHICH HAS TURNED ON AND THE VEHICLE SLOWS DOWN AND SEEMS TO GO INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING. THIS OCCURS AROUND 20 MPH, LOCAL ROADS AND LUCKILY NOT ON A HIGHWAY YET AND IF I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR NOTHING OCCURS AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT FLASHES. MY TRUCK HAS NOT COME UP UNDER THE RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE BUT I FEEL THAT IT IS RELATED ESPECIALLY AFTER READING ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS, PLEASE HELP.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHILE DRIVING MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER, IT WILL SHUT OFF. OTHER TIMES THE LIGHTS WILL FLICKER OFF AND CAR SEEMS TO STALL. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS WITHOUT ANY WARNING. IT IS VERY SCARY TO BE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE CAR JUST STOPS!!! I HAVE FOUR CHILDREN THAT I DRIVE AROUND, SO THIS CAN NOT HAPPEN! I HAVE READ WHERE THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE BECAUSE LIVES ARE AT RISK. I'M TAKING THE VEHICLE IN FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL, BUT I HAVE READ WHERE THAT HAS NOT FIXED THE ISSUE I AM HAVING.

THIS HAPPENED A LITTLE OVER A MONTH AGO FOR 1 DAY AND THEN BEGAN STARTING RIGHT AWAY, UNTIL NOW. IT DOES NOT START WITH A BATTERY JUMP, NOR DOES IT SHOW ANY SIGNS OF TRANSMISSION DAMAGE. IT SIMPLY DOES NOT START.

I PURCHASED MY JEEP IN APRIL OF THIS YEAR. THE 1ST WEEK I HAD IT, IT SEEMED TO BE BE LOOSING POWER SO I PUT IT IN THE SHOP TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. THIS WENT ON FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. THE JEEP STOPPED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE I WOULD BE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY CHILDREN. DESPITE THE MANY ADVANCES OF PUTTING IT IN THE SHOP, THE PROBLEM NEVER SEEMED TO GET FIXED. ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO, I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND MY BOYFRIEND WHEN IT LOST POWER TO THE POINT IT SHUT OFF AGAIN. THANK GOD WE ALL WERE ABLE TO SAFELY MAKE IT OUT THE JEEP WITHOUT BEIMG INJURED. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE REPAIR SHOP WERE I WAS TOLD MY MOTOR LOCKED UP. WHEN I ASKED THE MECHANIC HOW WAS THAT POSSIBLE HE SAID HE HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN BEFORE. IT HAD OIL AND IT WASN'T RUNNING HOT AT ALL. IT NEVER RAN HOT AT ANY POINT ACTUALLY. WHEN HE CHECKED, HE FOUND THE JEEP DIDN'T HAVE ANY COOLANT BUT COULD NOT GIVE REASON TO WHY THIS HAPPENED. I CONTACTED SEVERAL JEEP DEALERSHIPS THAT TOLD ME THAT NEVER HADN'T NEVER BEEN ANY RECALL ON MY JEEP BUT I FOUND SEVERAL THINGS ON THE INTERNET STATING THAT THE ENGINE AND COOLANT SYSTEM A ON MY VEHICLE HAD BEEN AN ISSUE WITH OTHER JEEP OWNERS SAME YEAR; MAKE AND MODEL OF MY VEHICLE.
