ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
SLOWING DOWN FOR STOPPING OR MAKING A TURN THE ENGINE STOPS; THE CAR DIES. IT HAS BEEN RESTARTING SO FAR. I AM AFRAID I AM GOING TO BE KILLED AND/OR CAUSE OTHERS TO BE KILLED. I HAVE HAD THE CAR CHECKED OUT AND THEY SAY EVERYTHING CHECKS OUT AS OK. THIS COST ME OVER $300. THEY CHANGED THE SPARK PLUGS BUT WARNED ME THIS WAS NOT ADDRESSING THE PROBLEM I WAS HAVING. SURE ENOUGH IT IS STILL DYING ON ME. PLEASE HELP ME. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE IN A DRUNK DRIVER WHO KNOWS BEFORE HE TAKES THAT DRINK THAT HE MAY KILL SOMEONE AND AN AUTO DEALER WHO IGNORE A PROBLEM AND KILLS SOMEONE? I NEED TO KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS SO I CAN GET THIS REPAIRED. *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
VEHICLE KEEPS LOOSING POWER SHIFTS INTO N STATE, PDRN ARE HIGHLIGHTED WITH BOXES AND YOU HAVE TO WIGGLE SHIFTER TO REGAIN POWER. MESSAGE IS: "SERVICE PARK ASSIST". NOT SURE IF THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE THAT THE LATEST RECALL (13V175000) LISTED IS HOWEVER, MY JEEP DOESN'T SEEM TO FALL IN THE MANUFACTURED DATE RANGE SO I AM MAKING A FORMAL COMPLAINT SINCE THIS IS KIND OF LOW MILES TO HAVE THIS KIND OF AN ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND IT IS HAPPENING WITH MY MANUFACTURED DATE VEHICLE. *JB

ENGINE, STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
AFTER TAKING THE JEEP COMMANDER IN TO A DEALER SHIP TO GET RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 13V175000 FIXED THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN WANTING TO TURN OFF AT RANDOM. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE IN PARK OR EVEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE 1ST TIME IT HAPPEN, I WAS ACCELERATING WHILE GETTING ON THE HIGH WAY AND I WAS GOING ABOUT 40 MPH AND THE ENGINE LOST ALL POWER AND IT WAS HARD TO STEER. IT LASTED ABOUT 4 SEC AND THEN STOPPED. THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPEN WAS GOING DOWN THE HIGH WAY ABOUT 65 MPH WITH THE CRUISE ON AND IT DID THE SAME THING AND THE LAST TIME IT DID IT THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. EACH TIME IT HAPPENS IT ONLY LAST ABOUT 4-5 SECS. IT JUST STARTED DOING IT RIGHT AFTER THE DEALER SHIP REPROGRAMMED THE ECM TO FIX THE RECALL. *JB

ENGINE
MY 2007 COMMANDER RUNS PERFECT WHEN COLD BUT AFTER 1 1/2 HOURS OF BEING ON THE ROAD IT BEGINS TO RUN HORRIBLY. IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC THE ENGINE BUCKS, SOMETIMES DIES OFF AND HAS A COMPLETE LACK OF POWER. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHES, SOMETIMES I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND REV THE ENGINE AND THEN IT IS FINE FOR A WHILE AND THE MIL LIGHT GOES OFF. SOMETIMES ON TURNS THE ENGINE SPUTTERS IN THE INTERSECTION WHICH HAS LED TO SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS OF BEING HIT BY THE ONCOMING VEHICLE. SOMETIMES ON THE FREEWAY, CLIMBING A SLIGHT INCLINE THE ENGINE SPUTTERS AND I LOSE SPEED AND CRAWL TO THE RIGHT LANE, AGAIN SOMETIME I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND REV THE ENGINE, SLAM IT IN DRIVE AND SOMETIME THAT WORKS. MY MECHANIC HAS HAD THE PCM TESTED, CHANGED SPARK PLUGS, COILS, OXYGEN SENSORS, ADDED EXTRA GROUND WIRES, CLEARED THE WIRING FOR SHORTS, CLEANED ALL ENGINE CONNECTORS INCLUDING INJECTORS PLUGS AND ROAD TEST THE VEHICLE WITH THE SCANNER CONNECTED. STATED THAT OTHER THAN PICKING UP DTC P300B THE DATA STREAM ON THE SCANNER SHOWED NO ABNORMALITIES. THERE HAS BEEN NO CHANGE IN THE PERFORMANCE OF MY COMMANDER. I WILL BE CALLING THE DEALER TO SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE UNDER MY 8YEAR/80,000 MILE DRIVE TRAIN WARRANTY. *TR

POWER TRAIN
ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS MY CAR HAS STALLED AND ALL GEAR BOXES WILL LIGHT UP WITH A MESSAGE SAYING "SERVICE PARK ASSIST" SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL BEEP AND OTHER TIMES IT WON'T. USUALLY THIS HAPPENS WHEN I AM IN MOTION DRIVING BUT AT TIMES WILL ALSO HAPPEN WHEN FIRST PUTTING IT INTO GEAR. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL ALSO COME ON. I HAVE TRIED TAKING IT IN SEVERAL TIMES BUT THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE IT WILL STOP DOING IT BEFORE I GET TO THE SHOP. SOMETIMES IF I AM STOPPED AT A LIGHT THE CAR WILL SWITCH BACK AND FOURTH FROM STALLING AND THEN BACK INTO GEAR WITHOUT TOUCHING ANYTHING USUALLY TO MAKE THE CAR RETURN TO GEAR YOU HAVE TO PULL OVER AND TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON IT CAN TAKE A COUPLE TIMES OF DOING THIS TO MAKE IT CORRECT. SOMETIMES WHEN IT SWITCHES OUT OF GEAR AND STALLS THERE WILL BE A LOUD SOUND THE CAR WILL JERK IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING UNDER THE CAR IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. THIS HAS BEEN AN ON GOING PROBLEM SINCE I BOUGHT THIS CAR THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURIES OR DEATH I HAVE BEEN LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO QUICKLY PULL OVER EVERY TIME IT HAS HAPPENED. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND HAVE A RECALL THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM ALL OVER THE WEB. *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM/PCM/TECM), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, POWER TRAIN
THE ENGINE HAS STALLED ON MANY OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AND OTHER ROADS. THIS HAS OCCURRED PROBABLY 20-30 TIMES OVER THE PASSED COUPLE OF YEARS. OCCASIONALLY IT WILL STALL FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN KICK BACK IN, BUT MORE OFTEN I WILL HAVE TO LET THE VEHICLE SLOW DOWN AND COAST TO A STOP IN THE BREAKDOWN LANE IF THERE IS ONE. I THEN PUT ON THE FLASHERS, PUT IT IN PARK, TURN OFF THE KEY, WAIT A FEW SECONDS AND START THE VEHICLE. THIS MAY NOT HAPPEN AGAIN FOR SEVERAL MONTHS OR IT MAY HAPPEN THE NEXT DAY. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND SCARES MY WIFE AND MYSELF HALF TO DEATH. THIS PAST WEEKEND WHILE IN THE PASSING LANE THIS OCCURRED ON THE INTERSTATE WITH LOTS OF TRAFFIC AND WE WERE LUCKY THAT IT DID NOT RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. RESEARCHING ONLINE I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS NOT UNCOMMON WITH THE JEEP COMMANDER. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM. (POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE SOFTWARE) NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID # 08V203000, NHTSA ACTION # EA07007. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND WAS BASICALLY TOLD THAT OUR VIN# IS NOT IN THE RECALL AND THEY WILL NOT HELP. THIS IS MY WIFE'S CAR BUT I USUALLY DO THE DRIVING. *TR

ENGINE
YESTERDAY I WENT TO START MY JEEP AND WHEN I TURNED THE KEY NOTHING HAPPENED. A FEW SECONDS LATER IT STARTED WITHOUT ME DOING ANYTHING. I ONLY HAD TO DRIVE A FEW BLOCKS AND THEN SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. AFTER 15 MIN I CAME BACK OUT TO START MY JEEP AND NOTHING... I JUST HAD A NEW BATTERY AND STARTER INSTALLED ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 20 MIN AND TRYING TO START IT SEVERAL TIMES, IT TURNED ON. THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS W THE LIGHTS OR AC.. I TOOK IT TO AN AUTO PARTS STORE AND THEY HOOKED IT UP TO THE MACHINE, BATTERY, STARTER, AND ALTERNATOR WERE ALL READING GOOD. IT STARTED FINE FOR THE REST OF THE DAY, HOWEVER WHEN I WENT TO LEAVE WORK THAT NIGHT, IT TOOK A FEW TRIES AND ABOUT 5 MIN. I ALSO HAD OVER HALF A TANK OF GAS SO THAT'S NOT AN ISSUE. I STARTED RESEARCHING AND FOUND MANY SIMILAR CASES. I AM SUPPOSED TO TAKE MY JEEP ON A 13 HOUR TRIP NEXT MONTH AND NOW I AM VERY NERVOUS THAT I WILL END UP STRANDED WHILE ON VACATION. THE FACT THAT I FOUND SO MANY OTHER JEEP OWNERS EXPERIENCING ALMOST IDENTICAL PROBLEMS HAS LEFT ME VERY UPSET AND NERVOUS EVERY TIME I NEED TO GO SOMEWHERE. I ALSO HAVE 2 YOUNG CHILDREN AND IT WORRIES ME TO END UP STRANDED SOMEWHERE WITH THEM. I HOPE JEEP DOES SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. I HAVE HAD MINE FOR 3 YEARS AND HAVE LOVED IT THUS FAR. I'M NOT IN A POSITION TO GET A NEW VEHICLE AT THE MOMENT SO I HOPE THIS PROBLEM IS FIXED ASAP. *TR

I WAS NOTIFIED OF A RECALL NOTICE ON MY COMMANDER IN JUNE. THE RECALL (N23) STATES THE CAR CAN SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL WHILE IN THE PARKED POSITION. MY CAR HAS SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL TWICE WHILE MOVING, ONCE WHILE I WAS TRAVELING 25 MPH AND ONCE AT 70 MPH. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND CHRYSLER. THE PART IS CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE TO FIX THE RECALL ISSUE. THEY INFORMED ME THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO BUT WAIT. THEY DO NOT HAVE AN EXPECTED DATE FOR THE PART'S ARRIVAL. I'M LEFT WITHOUT A VEHICLE, AND THEY DO NOT COVER LOANER CARS FOR THEIR RECALL. *TR
