ENGINE
I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER, 5.7L HEMI AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH ON INTERSTATE 16 AT APPROXIMATELY 2200 HOURS WITH MY TWO MINOR CHILDREN SEATBELTED IN THE BACK. WE WERE APPROXIMATELY 150 MILES FROM HOME. THERE WAS HEAVY TRAFFIC DUE TO A HOLIDAY WEEKEND, ROAD CONSTRUCTION, AND RAINY WEATHER. I RECOGNIZED A PROBLEM WAS OCCURRING BECAUSE I COULD NOT ACCELERATE, AND MY ATTENTION WAS DIVERTED FROM DRIVING BECAUSE I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS HAPPENING. I REALIZED THAT THE ENGINE HAD CUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THERE WAS NO POWER TO ANYTHING, AND THE VEHICLE WAS VERY HARD TO STEER AND TO STOP. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE, PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK, AND TRIED UNSUCCESSFULLY TO RESTART THE ENGINE. I WAS ABLE TO CHECK UNDER THE HOOD AND I FOUND THAT THE OIL LEVEL WAS IN THE NORMAL RANGE AND THE OIL APPEARED CLEAN. THE ANTIFREEZE IN THE RESERVOIR WAS IN THE NORMAL RANGE AND THERE WAS NO BUBBLING. THE TRANSMISSION FLUID, POWER STEERING FLUID, AND BRAKE FLUID WERE ALSO WITHIN NORMAL RANGES. AFTER ANOTHER TRY, IT RESTARTED, THEN THERE WAS A LOUD METAL CLANKING SOUND THEN COPIOUS SMOKE COMING FROM THE TAILPIPE, THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON FLASHING. THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE REGISTERED NORMAL. I TURNED THE TRUCK OFF AND STARTED MAKING PHONE CALLS WITH THUNDERSTORMS AND SEVERE LIGHTNING COMPLICATING THE SITUATION. WE ARRANGED FOR A TOW TRUCK TO TRANSPORT US TO A NEARBY HOTEL, AND THE NEXT DAY I TOWED THE JEEP BACK HOME USING A UHAUL TRUCK. MECHANICS HAVE DETERMINED THAT A PISTON HEAD IS DAMAGED AND CRACKED AND THE JEEP IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP HAVING A NEW ENGINE INSTALLED. THEY DID NOT FIND AN OBVIOUS CAUSE FOR THE DAMAGE TO THE PISTON. THERE ARE TWO SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS: THE ENGINE STOPPED WITHOUT WARNING, AND THE ENGINE FAILED PREMATURELY. IT IS UNKNOWN IF THE PROBLEMS ARE RELATED TO EACH OTHER. *TR

POWER TRAIN
MY VEHICLE IS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER THAT I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH EVEN THOUGH IT ONLY HAS ABOUT 78,000 MILES. I WAS DRIVING DOWN A RESIDENTIAL STREET WHEN IT STALLED AND AFTER I CUT OFF THE ENGINE TO RESTART IT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT TURN OVER. I HAD IT TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE CONTROL RELAY MODULE THAT WAS NOT COMMUNICATING EFFECTIVELY. I HAVE HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED, ALL THE RECALLS DONE, AND MANY OTHER THINGS. THIS IS SO UNSAFE AND RIDICULOUS. ITS NEARLY $1,000 TO HAVE THIS PART REPLACED, BUT BECAUSE IT IS SUCH A COMMON ISSUE IT IS ON BACK ORDER. CHRYSLER SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECTIVE ITEMS THEY PRODUCE AND SELL TO CUSTOMERS WHO BEAR THE BRUNT OF HAVING A BARELY DRIVABLE, MONEY PIT. *TR

ENGINE
MID SEPTEMBER AFTER DROPPING KIDS OFF AT SCHOOL THE JEEP DIED TWICE RIGHT IN A ROW. THE JEEP ALSO STARTED THIS WEIRD HARD DOWN SHIFTING IN CERTAIN GEARS. A FEW DAYS LATER THE JEEP DIED AGAIN AFTER I GOT ON THE HIGHWAY, WHILE I WAS DRIVING 70 MPH. SINCE THEN THE SHIFTING IS GETTING WORSE. A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON WHEN IT DIES, THE CODES WERE READ BY AN AUTO PARTS STORE. THERE WERE MULTIPLE CODES, ELECTRONIC POSITION SENSOR, INTAKE, AND MANIFOLD. I TRIED TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH CHRYSLER BUT THEY WILL NOT COMPLETE IT UNTIL I PAY THEIR AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIPS TO READ THE CODES. AFTER RESETTING COMPUTER IT HAS NOT COME BACK ON. THE JEEP STILL SHIFTS ERRATICALLY, AND I DISCOVER THAT THE ETC WARNING LIGHT DOES NOT WORK. WHY???. I DON'T KNOW WE HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR 5 YEARS AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN THE LIGHT. SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY WRONG. PLEASE HELP. ALSO NEITHER MY HUSBAND OR MYSELF ARE TALL ENOUGH FOR OUR KNEE TO EVEN THINK ABOUT BUMPING THE IGNITION SWITCH. *TR
