DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR FAILED ON DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT DOOR. DOOR NOW MAKES A DUCK CALL/ BUZZ EVERYTIME IT LOCKS. UPON RESEARCH THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH COMMANDERS AND A RECALL SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO FIX THIS ISSUE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
STARTING IN SEPTEMBER OF 2013 WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE TRAVELING AT 70MPH IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF 3, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AND THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND WE HAD TO DRIFT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WE GOT OF THE ROAD TO THE SIDE PUT THE JEEP IN PARK AND AFTER SEVERAL TRIES IT RESTARTED. WE HAVE NOTICED ON OCCASIONS AFTER THIS, WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO TURN THERE IS A CLUNK IN THE DRIVETRAIN. SOON AFTER THE CLUNK STARTS, THAT IS WHEN THE JEEP WILL SHUT OFF. IT HAS HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND AT SIGNAL LIGHTS. AFTER THE FIRST IT SHUT OFF WE TOOK IT TO A JEEP DEALER AND THEY PUT ON IN ON THE COMPUTED BUT SAID IT DIDN'T SHOW ANYTHING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 10 TIMES SINCE SEPTEMBER AND YOU TAKE YOUR LIKE IN YOUR HANDS EVERYTIME YOU GET ON THE INTERSTATE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
EARLY 2010 I EXPERIENCED ISSUES WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT, "SERVICE PARK ASSIST' AND ALL MY GEARS LIGHTING UP AT ONCE, AND NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE IN THE MIDDLE OF 65MPH TRAFFIC!. AFTER RESEARCHING THE 'SYMPTOMS' AND TALKING TO SEVERAL MECHANICS IT WAS DISCOVERED THE ESM 'WAS BAD' AND WAS REPLACED. IT BEGAN AT APPROX 55,000 MILES. I WENT THRU QUITE A PROCESS WITH CHRYSLER OVER THIS ISSUE. LONG STORY SHORT, NOW...AMAZINGLY AFTER ANOTHER 60,000 MILES (COINCIDENCE???) I NEED TO HAVE IT REPLACED AGAIN AS ALL THE SAME THINGS ARE HAPPENING? JEEPS USUALLY LAST A LONG TIME, AND THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE WITH MAINTAINING MY VEHICLE OR HOW I DRIVE...SO I WILL HAVE TO POTENTIALLY REPLACE IT AGAIN AND AGAIN? OF COURSE CHRYSLER TELLS ME ITS NOT A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLES YET JUST ON THIS SITE AND LOOKING FOR THE EXACT COMPLAINTS I FIND NO LESS THAN 45 OF THE SAME COMPLAINT AND AT LEAST ANOTHER 100+ THAT ARE PROBABLY THE SAME JUST WORDED DIFFERENTLY. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS DOES IT TAKE TO HAVE A COMPANY PAY FOR AND REPLACE DEFECTIVE PARTS? DOES IT TAKE A CERTAIN NUMBER OF FATALITIES?? I HONESTLY DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW IT JUST GETS IGNORED FORT YEARS AND YEARS. ON TOP OF THAT, THE WORK HAS TO BE DONE AT A DEALER DUE TO CERTAIN TOOLS NEEDED, AND ITS NO LESS THAN $1000 TO REPLACE. HOW CONVENIENT FOR THE COMPANY. *TR

THE CAR TURN OFF ARE STALL WHILE DRIVING. NORMALLY OCCURS WHEN FOOT IS SLIGHT ON THE PEDDLE HOWEVER ALSO ATTEMPTS TO STALL AT HIGH SPEEDS. A REVIEW OF THE INTERNET SHOWS THAT THIS LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM IS A FREQUENT EXPERIENCE AND A LONG TERM REPORTED PROBLEM. I AM HAPPY TO PROVIDE THIS INFORMATION UPON REQUEST. DOES THERE NEED TO BE A LOSE OF LIFE TO OBTAIN RELIEF OF THIS ISSUE. IS THIS ISSUE A RESULT OF DEMANDS BY THE EPA TO HAVE THESE CARS RUN AT AN IDEAL SPEED THAT IS TOO LOW? IS THE EPA ALSO THE REASON FOR THIS PROBLEM? LIVES ARE AT RISK WITH NO ACTION BEING TAKEN TO PROTECT CONSUMERS. *TR

POWER TRAIN
N 23 SAFETY RECALL WAS DONE AND AFTER THAT THE 4 WHEEL LO WOULD NOT WORK AND DASHBOARD CODE FOR SERVICE WAS DISPLAYED. DEALER STATES A NATIONAL BACKLOG ON THE 4 LO ACTUATOR IS THE PROBLEM AND NO TIMELINE FOR THE PART IS AVAILABLE. READING MULTIPLE THREADS ON THE INTERNET THIS IS A BIGGER PROBLEM THAN JEEP IS OWNING UP TO AND THE REPAIR PART IS ONLY AT BEST A TEMPORARY FIX. THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AT A HIGHER LEVEL,I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER JEEP PRODUCT. *TR

THIS WILL BE THE 3RD ELECTRIC SHIFT MODULE PUT IN THIS VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE LOST POWER THEN STALLED IN TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE, WHILE STOPPED IN TRAFFIC, WOULD SURGE. IF THE BRAKE WASN'T APPLIED, IT WOULD HAVE STRUCK THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF MINE. WHEN THE PROBLEM FIRST STARTED, THE INCIDENTS OF STALLING AND SURGING WERE MINIMAL. AS TIME WENT ON, THE INCIDENTS WERE MORE FREQUENT. THE PREVIOUS SWITCH MODULE (21030400768004143-AF) WAS REPLACED ($1067.00/DEALER ONLY PART/REPAIR COST). THE LATEST MODULE (DEALER ONLY PART COST ME $1008.04 (PART & REPAIR COST). THIS IS THE 2ND REPORT TO YOU ON THIS VEHICLE. *TR

THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE GOING ABOUT 75 MPH. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR JERKED AND EVERYTHING SHUT DOWN FOR ABOUT A SECOND BUT THE CAR KEPT GOING. CRUISE SHUT OFF AND THERE WAS A "DING". JUST LIKE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF IT JUST DIED FOR A SECOND. THEN, MY SON WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND IT DID THE SAME THING EXCEPT THIS TIME IT COMPLETELY DIED. IT HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES SINCE AND DYING COMPLETELY AROUND 6-7 TIMES. DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU'RE GOING 25 OR 75. IT CAN HAPPEN WHENEVER. ONE OF THE TIMES MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AND IT COMPLETELY STOPPED. SHE WAS IN THE LEFT LANE WITH A DIESEL IN THE RIGHT LANE. SHE ENDED UP STUCK IN THE DITCH. THANKFULLY NO ACCIDENT OR INJURIES. HAVE HAD 3 MECHANICS LOOK AT IT AND STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. *TR
