ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WAS DRIVING AT A STEADY PACE ON THE FREEWAY AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED OVER AND THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AS WELL AS THE BRAKES. I TURNED OFF MY VEHICLE, RESTARTED IT, AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE WITH NO PROBLEMS AFTERWARDS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE GEAR INDICATOR HAS THE PRND AND IT INDICATES WHAT GEAR YOU ARE IN. WHEN YOU TRY TO DRIVE THE CAR IT INDICATES THAT IT IS IN ALL GEARS. WHEN IT DOES THIS IT STUMBLES REALLY BADLY. YOU HAVE TO PUT IT BACK TO DRIVE TO DRIVE NORMAL. IT CAN HAPPEN ABOUT 3 TIMES A DAY. RIGHT AFTER IT HAPPENS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON FOR ABOUT 3 DAYS. I HAVE SEARCHED ONLINE AND AT LEAST 50 OTHER PEOPLE WITH A 2006/2007 JEEP COMMANDER HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. SOME PEOPLE SAY IT HAPPENS TO THEM (ALL GEARS LIGHT UP) WHILE THEY ARE DRIVING. THIS CAUSES THEIR VEHICLE TO NOT ACCELERATE OR "JERK" BACK AND FORTH. THEY HAVE TO PULL OVER AND START THE CAR AGAIN AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS UP. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I WARM IT UP FOR OVER 10 MINUTES IT WILL STILL DO IT WHEN I PUT IT ON REVERSE OR DRIVE. I AM WORRIED IT WILL GET WORSE AND HAPPEN LIKE THE OTHER PEOPLE ONLINE WHEN I'M DRIVING OR ON THE FREEWAY. ONLINE MANY PEOPLE WRITE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WITH THEIR 2006/2007 JEEP COMMANDER. MANY DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
MY JEEP IS LOSING POWER WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND WHEN I TAKE IT TO BE LOOKED AT, I CAN NEVER GET A STRAIGHT ANSWER. I CONTINUE BEING TOLD IT'S TRANSMISSION ISSUE (TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER, FLUID, LINES). MY CAR SLIGHTLY JERKS INTO GET WHEN SHIFTING FROM PART TO ANOTHER GEAR, AND THE PARKING ASSIST MESSAGE FLASHES ON. AFTER READING ALL THE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ONLINE IT SEEMS THE ISSUE MAY BE WITH THE SHIFT MODULE. WITH SO MANY COMPLAINTS IT WOULD BE NICE IF THIS COULD BE A RECALL AND CORRECTED.

POWER TRAIN
I HAVE EXPERIENCED ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS INCLUDING TODAY WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE LOOSES POWER SOUNDS AS IF MY TRANSMISSION IS NOT SHIFTING OR THE GEAR SHIFT WILL NOT SHIFT . AFTER I CUT THE OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES THEN I CAN SHIFT MY VEHICLE FROM PARK TO DRIVE WITHOUT A LOUD SCREECHING SOUND. TODAY, I HAD TO USE MY EMERGENCY BRAKES JUST TO KEEP MY VEHICLE STILL AFTER I PUT IT IN PARK. SEEMS AS THOUGH THE VEHICLE SHIFTS INTO ANOTHER GEAR AND GETS STUCK UNTIL I CUT MY VEHICLE OFF. I BELIEVE IT MAY BE THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE OR TRANSFER CASE ISSUE. I KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE FOR THE TCM BUT I DIDN'T HAVE IT DONE. I NEED HELP, THIS IS GETTING TO SCARY, CONSTANTLY PAYING FOR A VEHICLE AND CALL THE MANUFACTURER AND NOBODY WANTS TO DO ANYTHING.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE VEHICLE CRUISE CONTROL MALFUNCTIONS: NOW EVEN PRESSING "SET" AT LEAST WHILE DRIVING OVER 40 MPH MAKES THE VEHICLE ACCELERATE FAST EVEN TO 80 MPH SO I PRESS BRAKE PEDAL WHICH DOES DISENGAGE CRUISE CONTROL. EVEN IF YOU TURN CRUISE CONTROL OFF AND THEN BACK ON IT KEEPS ON HAPPENING EVERY TIME YOU PRESS SET. I DISCONNECTED POWER TO THE CRUISE CONTROL.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
2008 JEEP COMMANDER SAFETY ISSUE WHERE IT COMPLETELY LOOSES ALL ELECTRICAL AND MOTOR SYSTEMS WHILE DRIVING OR IDLING. IT STALLS OUT ONLY AT LOW RPM OR WHEN SHIFTING FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR. I LOST ALL SYSTEMS INCLUDING STEERING, BRAKES, AND HAZARD LIGHTS. THIS HAPPENED TO ME SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST WEEK NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. DEALERSHIP AND PRIVATE AUTO MECHANIC COULD NOT DIAGNOSE AND IT LEAVES NO SYSTEM EVENTS. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER TO SEE IF THIS WAS RELATED TO AN EARLIER MODEL COMMANDER RECALL WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND THEY GREW ANGRY WITH ME AND HUNG UP.

I DRIVE AND STOP THE JEEP. WHEN I TURN IT ON AND PUT IT ON DIRECT IT SHIFTS TO 3RD GEAR AUTOMATICALLY. I HAVE TO TURN OFF THE JEEP, DISCONNECT THE BATTERY IN ORDER TO DRIVE. AND THIS HAPPENS OVER AND OVER AGAIN. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND NO CODE WAS REVEALED AND THEY COULDN'T FIX. TOOK IT TO OTHER AUTO PARTS AND THE SAME RESULT CAME OUT WHEN THE HOOK IT UP TO THE COMPUTER. NO CODE. I HAVE FOUND THIS EXACT PROBLEM MENTIONED ON MULTIPLE JEEP FORUM SITES MENTIONING CODE P0700 TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM. THIS IS MALFUNCTIONING IN A UNSAFE MANNER AND I WAS TOLD IT HASN'T BEEN RECALLED YET. DON'T YOU HAVE ENOUGH COMPLAINTS ON THIS THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD BE DOING A RECALL?
