ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
AFTER STARTING VEHICLE AND SHIFTED INTO DRIVE, LOUD CLUNKING NOISE AND GRINDING BEGAN AS THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO MOVE FORWARD. SEVERAL DASHBOARD INDICATOR INCLUDING ABS AND STABILITY CONTROL LIT WITH "SERVICE 4X4 SYSTEM" MESSAGE. TOOK VEHICLE TO CHRYSLER/JEEP DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE AND TO HAVE RECALLS CORRECTED, INCLUDING MANUFACTURER RECALL N23 (NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 13V-175) REGARDING 'UNINTENTIONALLY CAUSE THE TRANSFER CASE TO SHIFT INTO THE NEUTRAL POSITION WITHOUT INPUT FROM THE DRIVER.' FIRST AVAILABLE DATE FOR SERVICE WAS 7-15-15. DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT INFORMED ME THAT THE TRANSFER CASE CONTROL MODULE (CHRYSLER PART NO. 56044129AP) WAS CORRUPT/NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. N23 RECALL STILL SHOWS UNDER MY VIN AS INCOMPLETE. PART WAS ORDERED BY PARTS DEPARTMENT AT DEALERSHIP AT TIME OF INITIAL SERVICE. I WAITED APPROX. 4 WEEKS FOR THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP TO OBTAIN THE PART. AFTER MULTIPLE PHONE CALLS, I WAS INFORMED THAT THEY RECEIVED A SHIPMENT OF THE PARTS, BUT THAT THERE WERE CUSTOMERS AHEAD OF ME WAITING ON SAME PART. I FILED A FORMAL COMPLAINT WITH CHRYSLER AND WAS GIVEN A CASE NUMBER AND MANAGER. I INQUIRED WITH THE CASE MANAGER AS TO WHY THE PART IS BACKORDERED AND IF THE PART HAS MALFUNCTIONED ON MULTIPLE VEHICLES, THEN WILL THIS BE A SAFETY RECALL ISSUE RELATED TO THE N-23/13V-175 RECALL. AFTER SEVERAL PHONE CONVERSATIONS, CASE MANAGER WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE ANY USEFUL INFORMATION ABOUT THE BACKORDER, STATING THAT BACKORDER IS DUE TO "THE PART IS NOT READILY AVAILABLE." THE CASE MANAGER ADVISED THAT A RUSH WAS PLACED ON THE PART AND WOULD BE DELIVERED ON 8-27-15. THE PART WAS NOT DELIVERED ON 8-27-15 AFTER CONTACTING THE DEALERSHIP. 3 CALLS TO AND MESSAGES LEFT FOR THE CASE MANGER WITHOUT REPLY. THE DEALERSHIP FINALLY HAS THE PART AS OF 8-31-15 AND SCHEDULED FOR SERVICE. MORE THAN 6 WEEKS AFTER THE INITIAL SERVICE.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO, MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4, 4.7L, LIMITED, INEXPLICABLY STALLED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 60 MILES PER HOUR. SINCE THAT FIRST STALLING EPISODE, THIS HAS OCCURRED AT LEAST 30 MORE TIMES. IT HAPPENS IN THE CITY, THE FREEWAY, DURING ACCELERATION, AND UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS VEHICLE TO THE JEEP DEALER ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. EACH TIME, THEY TELL ME THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. FURTHERMORE, THEY TELL ME THAT THIS IS AN ISOLATED PROBLEM THAT THEY HAVEN'T HEARD ABOUT BEFORE. A SIMPLE INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS IS A WIDELY REPORTED PROBLEM AND OWNERS REPORT THE SAME EXPLANATIONS FROM THE DEALERSHIPS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, STEERING
I AM WRITING TO EXPRESS MY CONCERN REGARDING AN ENGINE PROBLEM WITH MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER, THAT CAUSES THE ENGINE TO STALL, AND ALL POWER TO SHUT DOWN AND THE ENGINE TO COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. WHILE AT FIRST THIS PROBLEM WAS SIMPLY AN INCONVENIENCE, I SOON LEARNED HOW DANGEROUS THIS PROBLEM ACTUALLY IS. I WAS ON A HIGHWAY AND I WENT TO PASS ANOTHER CAR, MID-PASS MY ENGINE STALLED AND I LOST ALL POWER WITH ANOTHER CAR COMING AT ME HEAD-ON. THANKFULLY THE OTHER CAR WAS ABLE TO STOP AND WE AVOIDED A HEAD-ON COLLISION AT HIGHWAY SPEED, BUT THE OUTCOME COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DIFFERENT. THE STALLING HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH MY JEEP NOW FOR AT LEAST TWO YEARS, WITH NO RESOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM IN SIGHT. I HAVE FOLLOWED ALL SUGGESTIONS LIKE NOT HAVING A KEY CHAIN AND ONLY USING HE KEY IN MY IGNITION WITH NO CHANGE IN THE FREQUENCY OF THE STALLING. IT SEEMS A BIT RIDICULOUS THAT THERE HAS BEEN NO SOLUTION TO THIS VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. A CASE WAS OPENED BY CHRYSLER IN JANUARY REGARDING MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER STALLING WITHOUT WARNING. THE STALLING CONTINUES TO BE A VERY DANGEROUS AND UNPREDICTABLE PROBLEM FOR ME. IN MY LAST COMMUNICATION I WAS ASSURED THAT MY JEEP WOULD BE FIXED WHEN THE PART BECAME AVAILABLE, I HAVE HEARD NOTHING SINCE JANUARY. NOT ONLY AM I CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND OTHERS WHEN I DRIVE MY CAR, I AM ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT THE ADDITIONAL STRESS THIS FLAW IN MANUFACTURING IS PUTTING ON THE ENGINE OF MY CAR. ITS EXTREMELY FORTUNATE THAT NO ONE HAS BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED DUE TO THE STALLING PROBLEM TO DATE, BUT I FEAR IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL SOMEONES CAR STALLS AT THE WRONG MOMENT AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO AVOID TRAGEDY. IM HOPING SOMEONE CAN HELP WE GET RESOLUTION TO THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE AS CHRYSLER HAS DONE NOTHING SO FAR.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY JEEP HAS BEEN GIVING ME PROBLEMS. I DROVE IT TO BIRMINGHAM, ALA FOR 3 TRIPS AND THE GAS MILEAGE DECLINED EACH TIME ( 19-17-13) MILE TO THE GALLON. THE JEEP ALSO STARTED SHAKING AND TRYING TO STOP, ESPECIALLY WHEN STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND STANDING STILL. I TOOK THE JEEP TO CHRIS MYERS IN DAPHNE, AL TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. I LEFT IT FOR 2 DAYS AND GAVE THEM COMPLAINTS OF SMELLING GAS WHEN STARTING THE ENGINE, SHAKING AT IDLE, AND LOW GAS MILEAGE. THEY DID THE DIAGNOSTIC CHECK AND FOUND MULTIPLE CYL MISFIRE. FOUND SPARK PLUGS FOULED AND TRASH IN THE FUEL RAIL. THEY REPLACED SPARK PLUGS & CLEANED FUEL RAIL. IT WAS $607.12. I DROVE THE JEEP HOME AND SEVERAL DAYS LATER IT DID THE SAME THING, STOPPING WHEN AT REGULAR SPEED ALMOST HAVING AN ACCIDENT. I CALLED THE MANAGER HE STATED TO BRING IT BACK & WOULD RECHECK IT, BUT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR REPAIRS. HE ALSO STATED IT WAS THE FUEL I WAS USING, I HAVE A TRUCK WHICH USES THE SAME GAS & HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH IT. COULD THEY NOT FIND THE PROBLEM . I DID NOT TAKE IT BACK BECAUSE THEY WERE RUDE AND I LIVE 30 MILES FROM THE DEALER. I DID NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE JEEP. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I TOOK THE JEEP TO A LOCAL AUTO MECHANIC & AFTER THE TEST HE FOUND 2 OF THE O2 SENSORS WERE CLOGGED, PROBABLY FROM THE FUEL LINE BEING CLEANED. HE REPAIRED THIS, THE JEEP STILL RAN POORLY AND STOPPING WHEN AT IDLE SPEED. HE CHECKED THE COMPUTER AND FOUND IT WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. HE KEPT THE JEEP FOR ABOUT A WEEK AND TOLD ME HE WOULD NOT LET IT GO BECAUSE HE FELT IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, UNTIL ALL WAS PROPERLY WORKING .I THINK I WAS RIPPED OFF BY THE FIRST JOB SINCE IT WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY WEN THE FIRST JOB WAS DONE. I THINK I SHOULD HAVE A REFUND ON THE FIRST JOB. I DID NOT HAVE A WARRANTY BECAUSE WHEN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY RAN I CALLED CHRIS MYERS 3-4 TIMES AND DID NOT GET CALL BACK FROM THEM

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, STEERING
IN THE SUMMER OF 2014, I WAS REVERSING AND MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER TURNED OFF TWICE. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY SINCE THEN. MY JEEP TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING UP TO 30 MILES AN HOUR, AND WHILE STOPPED AT A LIGHT, AND/OR A STOP SIGN. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SOMETIMES TURNS ON, BUT NOT ALWAYS WHEN JEEP TURNS OFF. SOMETIMES IT MAKES A 'HUFFING PUFFING' NOISE LIKE IT'S STRUGGLING TO STAY ON (BEFORE IT ACTUALLY TURNS OFF). IT ALWAYS TURNS ON RIGHT AFTER, BUT I HAVE NOTICED IT MAKES A LOUD SQUEAKY SOUND WHEN IT TURNS ON AFTER I CRANK IT. THAT SQUEAKY SOUND, SOUNDS LIKE THE SOUND IT MAKES WHEN SOMEONE TRIES TO CRANK ON THE VEHICLE AFTER VEHICLE IS ALREADY BEEN ON. THE CHRYSLER RECALL CENTER MAILED ME A RECALL P41 NOTICE LAST SUMMER/FALL IN 2014. I TOOK IT TO THE CHRYSLER JEEP DEALERSHIP IN MCALLEN, TEXAS FOR RECALL P41 SERVICE AT THAT TIME. I'VE TAKEN MY JEEP TO SEVERAL MECHANICS SINCE THEN, BUT NO ONE SEEMS TO FIND THE PROBLEM. THE SERVICEMEN AT DEALERSHIP SAID TO KEEP CHECKING IN WITH THEM TO SEE IF THEY HAVE THE PART. THEY SAID PROBLEM IS NOT RELATED TO RECALL P41...AND KEEP ADVISING ME OF OTHER POSSIBLE PROBLEMS. I'VE FIXED ALL OF THE POSSIBLE PROBLEMS SUGGESTED, AND YET THE 'TURNING OFF' STILL CONTINUES! THE SERVICE MANAGER AT DEALERSHIP, AND THE CHRYSLER RECALL CENTER PEOPLE KEEP TELLING ME THAT CHRYSLER HAS NOT MADE PART AVAILABLE, AND FOR ME TO REMOVE ANY EXTRA KEYS FROM THE KEY RING, AND TO CONTINUE DRIVING ME JEEP UNTIL THE PART IS AVAILABLE. CHRYSLER WILL THEN MAIL ME NOTICE OF RECALL PART AVAILABILITY. I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS PROBLEM FOR OVER A YEAR! IT IS VERY SCARY, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT HAPPENS UNEXPECTEDLY IN AN UNRELIABLE VEHICLE!! I DON'T FEEL SAFE.
