This Problem Across All Years
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. I WAS ABLE TO MOVE TO THE SHOULDER AND BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP. THERE WAS NO POWER TO ANY SYSTEM. THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS IN THE OFF POSITION. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. *TR THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THE VEHICLE HAS LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING.

THERE HAVE BEEN TWO TIMES THAT THE VEHICLE JUST WOULD NOT START AFTER A RAIN, BUT WHEN WE HAD IT LOOKED AT NO PROBLEMS AND IT HAS NOT HAPPENED AGAIN. THE MAJOR ISSUE IS THAT WHILE DRIVING HOME ON THE TOLL ROAD ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE VEHICLE JUST LOST POWER AND WOULD NOT GO OVER ABOUT 30MPH, SO I HAVE TO TRY AND GET ACROSS A TOLL ROAD IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC SO THAT I CAN TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON. WHEN I DID THAT IT CAME BACK ON FINE. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES, BUT WHEN WE CALLED CHRYSLER THEY TOLD US THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR OUR VIN, BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM THAT THE NON 4X4 2008 COMMANDER HAS AND THAT DID GET A RECALL. NOW THE VEHICLE DID IT AGAIN LAST NIGHT AND WILL NOT CORRECT ITSELF WITH A RESTART, AND WILL NOT GO 30MPH. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT SO MANY OF US ARE HAVING THE SAME EXACT ISSUE AND THERE IS NOTHING BEING DONE ABOUT IT, I GUESS SOMEONE REALLY DOES HAVE TO BE INJURED OR DIE TO GET ANY ATTENTION. *TR

AS YOU SPEED UP FROM A STAND STILL THE THROTTLE CONTROL INDICATOR FORCES THE CAR TO SLOW DOWN. HAVE TO PULL OVER TO SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURN OFF THE CAR. START THE CAR BACK ON AND SLOWLY EXCEL, SOMETIMES THE THROTTLE WILL ACT UP AGAIN, AND HAVE TO TURN OFF CAR AGAIN. AND TODAY THE TRACTION INDICATOR TURNED ON WHILE DRIVING AND AS THE CAR SLOWED DOWN THE THROTTLE CONTROL FORCED MY HUSBAND TO PULL OVER AND TURN OFF THE CAR. IT SEEMS TO ACT UP WHEN THE WEATHER GETS WARMER. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER LAST YEAR AND THE GAS PEDAL WAS REPLACED AND THEY ASSURED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. BUT THE CAR IS ACTING UP AGAIN. I AM PRETTY SURE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT IS EXPERIENCING THESE KIND PROBLEMS WITH THE JEEP COMMANDER. *TR

ON SATURDAY AUGUST 6, 2011 WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONED AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN FOR 1.5 MILES. THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT IN USE AND THE FLOOR MAT WAS IN A NORMAL POSITION. THE ETC WARNING WAS ON DURING THIS MALFUCTION BUT WENT OFF WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED. DURING THIS EPISODE THE BRAKES AND LOWER GEARS WERE USED TO SLOW DOWN WHILE THE RPM WAS RUNNING VERY HIGH. *TR

I PURCHASED A NEW 2008 JEEP COMMANDER (W/APPROXI. 50 MI) FROM SANSONE'S ROUTE 1 AUTO MALL ON 6/11/09. WITHIN 48 HRS OF PURCHASING THE VEHICLE (AT 150 MI) THE SHIFT GEAR AND TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTIONED. ON 6/13/09 I DROVE THE VEHICLE TO JERSEY CITY, NJ. AFTER REACHING MY DESTINATION, I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK TO UNLOAD. WHEN I FINISHED, I COULD NOT SHIFT THE VEHICLE OUT OF PARK WITHOUT ENGAGING THE SHIFT LOCK MANUAL OVERRIDE (AS DESCRIBED IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL). DURING THIS TIME THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT WAS ON AND THE ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFO CENTER DISPLAYED 'SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM'. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO ALERT THEM OF THE PROBLEM AND I WAS ASKED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE SERVICED. ON THE WAY TO AVENEL FROM JERSEY CITY, THE VEHICLE DROVE WITHOUT ISSUE FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 MILES. HOWEVER, AFTER PROCEEDING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION AND STOPPING FOR A RED LIGHT, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO JERK AND WITH THE PEDAL PRESSED TO THE FLOOR, IT WOULD ONLY ACCELERATE TO 30 MPH. I DROVE AT THIS SPEED ON ROUTE 1 FROM JERSEY CITY TO NEWARK AIRPORT WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY OPENED UP AND THE VEHICLE SHOT OFF AT A HIGH SPEED. THANKFULLY, NO ONE WAS DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH FROM NEWARK AIRPORT TO THE SANSONE DEALERSHIP IN AVENEL. DURING THE ENTIRE TRIP THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT REMAINED ON. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED AT SANSONE'S SERVICE CENTER AND I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE ISSUE WAS A FAULTY 'PRNDL' WIRE THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE PART WAS ORDERED AND INSTALLED AND ON 6/16/09 I WAS TOLD THAT THE WIRE WAS REPLACED RESOLVING BOTH ISSUES'THE LOCKED SHIFT GEAR AND INABILITY TO ACCELERATE. I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE TUESDAY NIGHT. FOUR DAYS LATER I HAD THE SAME EXACT ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. MY FATHER HAS OWNED JEEP PRODUCTS FOR OVER 15 YRS AND HAS NEVER EXPERIENCED PERFORMANCE ISSUES OF THIS MAGNITUDE. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THIS VEHICLE IS DEFECTIVE AND BEYOND REPAIR. *TR
