Power Train. The (TCM/PCM/TECM) Chrysler is recalling 24, 461 Jeep Commander vehicles equipped with 407 V8 engines. Th powertrain control module (PCM) was programmed with software that may allow the engine to stall under certain operating conditions. This could cause a crash without warning. ( My Jeep turns on, but it is not able to be moved, it is stalled indefinitely). I asked the dealer @Rockwall Dodge, Rockwall TX to check the PCM/TCM/TECM. They refused. Said they were not able to check this situation. Didn't have that equipment. Electrical System. This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. The air bag lights comes on randomly. The engine will turn off, which will then depower various key safety systems. I am unable to unlock the ignition on several occasions. Suspension. Rock Krawler recalled 44 performance suspension systems sold as aftermarket equipment for use on the vehicle listed above. We have had suspension issues on our Jeep. No one can find the issue to fix it. The Jeep makes noise at the suspension system.

Abs, traction control, and another light come on and goes off intermittent. While reversing feels like brakes are locking up. Transmission shifts different intermittently. I have seen that there is recalls for other 06 commanders that reflect the issues I am having.

Vehicle randomly saying transmission over temp. Vehicle may or may not crank upon turning key Vehicle downshifts to second gear while driving and has caused me to run off the road/slam on brakes to stop Vehicle resets itself to where Jeep dealership cannot even trace wiring harness for shorts or check to see if transmission control module works properly after having my commander from August to December. Suspect faulty Transmission control module/short due to poorly designed wiring and parts on manufacturer's behalf. Other issues include random codes with each new code reader, stereo wiring issues, vehicle changing from v8 to v4 randomly while driving, consuming excessive gas amounts only receiving 9 miles per gal of fuel Extremely dangerous to drive and do not feel safe

I had gotten my sepertine belt replaced and it started showing message transmission over heating it had not aloud my jeep to start and it made the starter go out to the alternator is now bad I have had it stall before I got the message and it about caused an accident several times until message. Brakes had skidded me about into a tree & other things and people when I had pressed on them two handful of times, it's Like that were be slammed or something.

Transmission over temp is a never ending light that lights up daily. I've had 3 reprogrammed PCMs and the ECM replaced as well. The car was also reprogrammed at the dealership twice with the results the same. It will work for a couple days then right back to the original issue and including a few more. Recently the trans over temp came on and stalled in rush hour traffic. Resulting in a almost serious accident. Several attempts made to restart the car. Started and stalled immediately. After the 4th time and reving the engine very hard it stayed running. I've called the recall line on this and several other recalls (1 that was under warranty) with no resolution. This is now a safety issue for me and others on the road. This car is a lemon and should be taken off the road. I've waisted money at the dealership being charged over $300 each time to reprogrammed with no improvement. Bought 3 PCMs at $1200 each. I replaced almost everything under the hood and car with no positive results.

2006 Jeep Commander Limited 5.7L V8 Message as appears on dash - TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP While driving a short distance the message TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP appears, the fan kicks on HIGH & is very loud, and it feels like the transmission disengages like being thrown into neutral, but is still drivable. About 2 weeks prior, I noticed smoke coming out from under hood & the engine coolant tank was almost empty. There were no visible leaks on carport. I refilled the tank & immediately called Kilby Automotive repair shop, then took it in. They said that the radiator cap needed to be replaced. The also said the valve cover gasket was leaking. They replaced the radiator cap & made an appointment for June 3rd to replace the valve cover gasket. Before that appointment the vehicle started displaying the TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP message. I took it into Kilby Automotive on May 27, 2021. They said it was a faulty transmission temperature sensor, but they could not repair. They have done a lot of repairs on the vehicle for several years. I called Ultimate Luxury Auto Service explaining the issue. The man said that he could put a new sensor in & there is a broken transmission mount. He replaced the sensor. Fix mount later. When I was driving home, the same message appeared & the fan kicked on as before. I messaged the shop & took the vehicle back in. They put a 2nd sensor in, drove it & received the same TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP message. They returned the 2 new sensors & put my original sensor back in. They said they were sorry they could not fix it & dropped the price of repairs. I entered the make, model, & message online & found out a lot of people have the same problem. Some people have said they replaced numerous parts & it did not fix it, and others say they replaced the PCM. I am disabled and do not want to be stranded or have a vehicle fire. I am afraid that it would pose a risk to me & others, as transmission oil can ignite on hot surfaces and cause a fire in the engine.

MY VEHICLE DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF ME DRIVING WITHOUT WARNING. I WAS ON A MAIN ROAD TURNING INTO A MCDONALD'S WHEN MY CAR DIED. I WAS GOING ABOUT 20 WHEN MY CAR DIED. MY STEERING LOCKED UP, COULDN'T BRAKE OR ACCELERATE, AND HAD TO PULL OVER AND TURN MY CAR OFF TO AND BACK ON TO GET IT RUNNING AGAIN. ONCE I GOT MY CAR STARTED AGAIN THE IDLE KEPT PULSATING ABOVE ONE THOUSAND RPM AND WOULD HAVE TO KEEP IT IN NEUTRAL AT A STOP SO IT WOULD LURK FORWARD.

I HAVE A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER THAT I BOUGHT 2 MONTHS AGO. IT HAS BEEN ONE PROBLEM AFTER ANOTHER. FIRST OF ALL THE FIRST DAY IT RAINED THE WHOLE ENTIRE CAB WAS SOAKED, COME TO FIND OUT THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE SUNROOF DRAINAGE OF THESE JEEPS. THE DRAIN LINES DON'T STAY CONNECTED TO THE FLOOR AND WHEN THAT OCCURS THE CARPET GET DRENCHED. I HAD TO PULL ALL OF THE CARPET OUT OF THE JEEP BECAUSE OF MOLD CONCERNS. SECONDLY SHORTLY THEREAFTER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THE FIRST TIME I DROVE THE JEEP. TOOK IT TOO A MECHANIC AND THE CODE SHOWED A CRANK SENSOR AND A CAM SENSOR. GOT BOTH OF THOSE REPLACED AND IT REQUIRED A DRIVESHAFT REPAIR KIT. ANOTHER DAY LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF AGAIN. THE TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE AND SHIMMY SO WE HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF A HIGHWAY BECAUSE IT WASN'T SAFE. TOOK IT INTO ANOTHER MECHANIC THAT WAS CLOSER TO WHERE I WAS HAVING THE ISSUES AND THEY PUT ANOTHER SET OF CRANK AND CAM SENSORS IN AGAIN. SUPPOSINGLY I WAS GOOD TO GO BUT JUST 2 DAYS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON.WENT BACK TO ANOTHER MECHANIC THAT WAS CLOSE IN PROXIMITY TO WHERE I WAS HAVING TROUBLE IN WHICH THE TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE AND SHIMMY AGAIN. THIS MECHANIC FOUND A SHORT TO THE GROUND IN ALTANATER UNIT WHICH REQUIRED A NEW ALTANATER BECAUSE THE OTHER ONE WASN'T PULLING ENOUGH VOLTAGE. TODAY (SEPT 5TH) WENT TO START THE TRUCK AND IT STALLED AGAIN AND WHEN I RESTARTED IT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS BACK ON. I HAVE SPENT WELL OVER $2000 ON THIS SITUATION AND IT STILL ISN'T FIXED. I HAVE READ A LOT OF OTHER CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS MODEL AS WELL AS OTHERS WHO ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS FROM CHRYSLER TO FIX WHATEVER ISSUES THESE CARS ARE HAVING. THEY HAVE BEEN GETTING AWAY WITH THIS CRAP WAY TOO LONG NOW. GOING DOWN THE FREEWAY 70 PLUS MILES AN HOUR AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON.

WORST VEHICLE EVER! WE GOT IT WITH AROUND 98K MILES ON IT, AND IT NOW ONLY HAS 103K MILES ON IT AND IN THE LAST 4K WE'VE PUT OVER $5K INTO IT TRYING TO GET IT TO RUN. WE HAD TO PUT A NEW TRANSMISSION IN ($2K) AND HAVE THE LIFTERS IN THE ENGINE REPLACED ($2,600). CURRENTLY IT'S BEEN SHUTTING OFF ON ITS OWN A FEW SECONDS AFTER I START IT AND GIVING RANDOM "TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP" AND "SERVICE 4X4 SYSTEM" MESSAGES EVEN THOUGH THERE'S NOT A PROBLEM WITH THOSE SYSTEMS. I TURN THE KEY, IT RUNS FOR 3 SECONDS, THEN SHUTS OFF. SOMETIMES IT DOES THIS SEVERAL TIMES IN A ROW AND THEN WON'T START AT ALL. OTHER TIMES IT STARTS FINE SO IT'S RIDICULOUSLY HARD TO DIAGNOSE. SOMETIMES WHEN IT'S DOING IT'S SHUT DOWN BIT, YOU CAN GET IT TO STAY ON A LITTLE LONGER BY REVVING THE ENGINE, AND IT WILL LET YOU PULL OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, BUT THEN SHUTS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. THE SUN ROOF LEAKS HORRIFICALLY, EVEN AFTER I'VE TRIED THE "CLIP THE NIPPLES OFF THE BOTTOM OF THE HOSES" TRICK.

REPLACED BEZEL GEAR SELECTOR 3 TIMES SINCE 2006. AS OF SEPTEMBER 2016 A 4TH REPLACEMENT IS REQUIRED PER GOLLING CHRYSLER. VEHICLE ATTEMPTS TO STALL AFTER 1-2 SECONDS WHEN STARTING FROM A STOPPED POSITION. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATES AND A SERVICE MESSAGE APPEARS STATING "SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM." SEVERAL TIMES FROM 2006 - 2016 THE VEHICLE ALMOST STALLED WHEN ENTERING INTERSECTIONS OF CITY STREETS. WHENEVER CONDITION OCCURED THE PART WAS REPLACED (3 TIMES). PART CAUSING THE CONDITIONS IS PART# CH68004143-AF PRNDL BEZEL GEAR SELECTOR AND CH52108308-AC CONNECTOR ELECTRICAL (TRANSMISSION). I BELIEVE THE GEAR SELECTOR AND TRANSMISSION TO BE DEFECTIVE DUE TO THE FREQUENT FAILURE WHICH COULD CAUSE A SAFETY INCIDENT.

REGARDLESS OF DISTANCE TRAVELED, OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE, THE 'TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP' MESSAGE APPEARS ON THE DASH. HAD COOLANT FLUSHED 2X BUT MESSAGE STILL APPEARS INTERMITTENTLY. HAD MECHANIC LOOK AT MORE THAN A FEW TIMES, HOWEVER COULD NOT REPLICATE MESSAGE AND THUS NO RESOLUTION/FIX TO PROBLEM. JEEP RECENTLY HAD IGNITION SWITCH RECALL COMPLETED (THOUGHT THAT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN) BUT 'TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP' WOULD OCCUR PRIOR TO THAT RECALL BEING COMPLETED. THOUGHT THE TWO WERE CONNECTED SOMEHOW. MAIN CONCERN IS THE ENGINE DOES NOT OVERHEAR, TEMP READS BELOW MIDDLE MARK BUT WHEN TRANSMISSION MESSAGE APPEARS, AFTER A FEW MINUTES, TRANSMISSION FEELS 'OFF' OR JUMPY. SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY HAPPENING. NOT SAFE TO DRIVE, NOT CONFIDENT TAKING IT ON LONG TRIPS BECAUSE OF POSSIBLE DAMAGE THAT MAY OCCUR, NOT TO MENTION BEING STRANDED. THIS IS MY GIRLFRIENDS TRUCK AND I'M NOT COMFORTABLE HAVING HER DRIVE TOO FAR, ESPECIALLY IN THE EVENING. HIS IS INCONVENIENT BECAUSE WE TAKE CARE OF OUR VEHICLES, THIS TRUCK HAS LOW MILES, 62,000. WOULD REALLY LIKE TO RESOLVE THIS BECAUSE WE LOVE THE TRICK BUT CANNOT TRUST TAKING IT ON TRIPS, TOWING OUR BOAT WHICH WAS THE ORIGINAL PURPOSE OF HAVING TRUCK. WHAT A STRESSFUL VEHICLE TO HAVE. VERY DISSATISFIED WITH THIS TRUCK. AGAIN, THE TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP WOULD OCCUR INTERMITTENTLY, ON THE HIGHWAY AT TIMES, IN TRAFFIC, SMALL TRIPS, AFTER SITTING PARKED AFTER A SHORT TRIP, MESSAGE REAPPEARS ONCE TRUCK IS STARTED AGAIN.

THERE HAVE BEEN MANY A TIMES THAT I HAVE BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING 55 MPH OR MORE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE CAR WOULD SLIGHTLY JERK AND THEN LOOSE COMPLETE POWER. I WOULD STEP ON THE ACCELERATOR BUT NO CHANGE, I WOULD SIMPLY PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. WAIT A FEW MINUTES AND EVENTUALLY THE CAR WOULD START UP AGAIN? THE HEADLIGHTS AND INTERIOR LIGHTS GO OFF AND ON? THE FACE PLATE TO THE RADIO SYSTEM GETS HOT? AND HAS AFFECTED THE ILLUMINATION OF THE DASHBOARD INSTRUMENTAL LIGHTING?

THE FAILURE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

WHILE TRAVELING ON AN EXPRESSWAY IN CENTRAL MICHIGAN, I WAS USING THE CRUISE CONTROL TO MAINTAIN A SPEED OF 75 MPH. WITH NO WARNING AT ALL, THE MECHANICAL COMPONENTS OF THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN, LEAVING MY JEEP "DEAD IN THE HIGHWAY". I WAS ABLE TO STEER AND BRAKE, BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESPOND TO ACCELERATION BY PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. I PULLED OFF TO THE SHOULDER, LUCKILY WITHOUT INCIDENT. TURNED THE KEY TO THE "OFF" POSITION AND WAITED ABOUT 10 SECONDS. I TURNED THE KEY TO THE "ON" POSITION AND IT STARTED BACK UP. I CAUTIOUSLY DROVE AT A CONSIDERABLY SLOWER SPEED UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO GET TO A REST STOP. WHEN I GOT TO MY DESTINATION I FOUND A LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE AND HAD THEM DO A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK. IT SHOWED A MAF SENSOR GONE BAD. MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR WAS REPLACED. HOPING THAT WAS THE ISSUE, AFTER SEVERAL DAYS, MY FAMILY AND I HEADED BACK HOME ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STATE. WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 60 MPH WITH CRUISE CONTROL, THERE WERE NO ISSUES. I FIGURED THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. UNFORTUNATELY, I WAS WRONG. AS I REACHED THE HIGHWAY WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS 70 MPH, I ACCELERATED TO 70 MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL. AS SOON AS I BROKE THE 70 MPH POINT, THE CAR MECHANICALLY STALLED AGAIN AS I WAS TRYING TO MERGE ONTO THE BUSY HIGHWAY. AGAIN, LUCKILY, I MADE IT SAFELY TO THE SHOULDER AND RESTARTED. I WAS ABLE TO EXCEED 70 MPH ON THE WAY HOME WITHOUT USING THE CRUISE CONTROL. CONCERNED FOR MY PREGNANT WIFE, TODDLER SON, AND MY OWN SAFETY, AS THIS HAPPENED ON A BUSY HIGHWAY AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED; WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS OR SOUNDS. *TR

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.

HELLO, MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER STARTED STALLING OUT OVER A YEAR AGO AND HAS STALLED ON ME ON AND OFF VARIOUS TIMES AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS BUT USUALLY AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED, WHICH HAS BEEN VERY SCARY. I HAVE CHOSEN NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE ANYMORE AND NOW IT IS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY AND I AM DRIVING A 1991 HONDA BECAUSE I CANNOT AFFORD TO BUY A NEW CAR AT THIS TIME. I JUST PAID THIS JEEP OFF AND NOW I CANNOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER FIXED THE ONE RECALL ON THE VEHICLE CALLED THE FRONT CONTROL MODULE AND IT RAN FINE FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND NOW ONCE AGAIN THE CAR STALLED OUT WHILE I WAS HEADED TO A CAMPING TRIP WITH MY KIDS A COUPLE MONTHS AGO GOING 50 MPH AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I WAS ALMOST HIT BY A SEMI AND SEVERAL CARS WERE HONKING AND TRYING TO AVOID MY JEEP. I LOSE ALL POWER STEERING AND THERE ARE NO NOTIFICATIONS THAT THE CAR WILL STALL SO IT IS VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS FOR ME AND MY CHILDREN. I AM SO UPSET THAT I CANNOT DRIVE THE CAR AND FEEL SAFE. I HAVE CONTACTED JEEP AND THEY HAVE A RECALL FOR 2006 JEEP COMMANDERS THAT COVERS UP TO JANUARY 2006 AND MY VEHICLE WAS MADE IN MARCH SO THEY TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THE RECALL WAS FOR THE PCM WHICH MY CAR HAS THE SAME CODE ON THE DIAGNOSIS BUT NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AND I HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS. I REALLY HOPE THAT THIS SITUATION CAN BE RESOLVED BY JEEP STEPPING UP AND TAKING CARE OF THIS ISSUE FOR THE SAFETY OF PEOPLE. *TR

THE FIRST NIGHT I DROVE IT HOME IT STALLED PULLING IN TO THE DRIVEWAY. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT MORNING TO TELL THEM AND THEY WOULDN'T TAKE THE JEEP TIL THE FOLLOWING WK TO LOOK AT IT THEY CAME UP WITH EVERY EXCUSE IN THE WORLD. WHEN I BROUGHT THE JEEP IN TODAY THEY HAD ME SIGN A DEDUCTIBLE OF 100 DOLLARS BUT YET WHEN I FIRST TEST DROVE THE JEEP IT I TOLD THEM TO FIX IT BUT ALL THEY DID WAS CLEARED THE CODES (FLASHED THE COMPUTER) NOW I HAVE A REJECTION STICKER ON THE VEHICLE AND NO CAR. *TR

MY JEEP HAD AN N23 RECALL PERFORMED AT PARK JEEP IN BURNSVILLE, MN. AFTER THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED, THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM LOW RANGE BECAME INOPERABLE. A MESSAGE APPEARS ON THE DASH: 'SERVICE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE'. I NOTIFIED THE DEALER ABOUT HIS ISSUE. THEY PERFORMED SOME REPROGRAMMING THAT THEY SAID WOULD FIX THE ISSUE. THIS REPROGRAMMING DID NOT WORK, AS THE ISSUE HAS RETURNED, AND MY FOUR WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM IS NOT OPERATING AS EXPECTED. I NOTIFIED JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE, AND THEY HAVE NO SOLUTION FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALER HAS NO SOLUTION FOR THIS PROBLEM. ABOUT 500,000 GRAND CHEROKEES AND COMMANDERS THAT HAVE THIS FOUR WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM ARE AFFECTED. NO ONE CAN GUARANTEE THAT IT WILL NOT AFFECT NORMAL OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE. AND NO ONE KNOWS WHAT THE SYSTEM CAN DO IN TRAFFIC ON IT'S OWN WITHOUT WARNING TO THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE. THE N23 RECALL PERFORMED BY MY JEEP DEALER HAS CREATED THIS PROBLEM, AND IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER NOW. CHRYSLER/JEEP NEEDS TO PROVIDE A PROPER REPAIR SO THAT THE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES CAN COUNT ON THEIR JEEPS TO PERFORM AS THEY WERE REPRESENTED TO PERFORM WHEN PURCHASED, AND WITH THE KNOWLEDGE THAT THE VEHICLE WILL PERFORM IN A SAFE MANNER WITH NO UNEXPECTED LIMITATIONS OR ACTIONS AS THEY ARE DRIVEN ON THE PUBLIC ROADS.

I PURCHASED MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER FROM CITY AUTO IN MEMPHIS, TN ON 9/14/11 AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A ONE-OWNER VEHICLE ORIGINATING FROM THE STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA. I NOTICED HESITATION IN THE TRANSMISSION AND VARIANCES (ROUGH - UP AND DOWN) IN THE IDLING SHORTLY AFTER MY PURCHASE. I THEN STARTED TO GET THE "TRANSMISSION/ENGINE" LIGHT COMING ON. BUT IT WOULD GO AWAY ALMOST AS QUICK AS IT WOULD COME ON. I THEN HAD MY ENGINE STALL WHILE DRIVING FULL SPEED ON THE INTERSTATE. I LOST ALL POWER! FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO GET OVER TO THE SHOULDER SAFELY! WE IMMEDIATELY STARTED DOING SOME RESEARCH ON VARIOUS FORUMS, INCLUDING JEEP FORUM, ON THE "STALLING ISSUE" AND "LIGHTS COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY". MY HUSBAND TOOK IT TO OUR LOCAL AUTOZONE AND THEY HOOKED IT UP TO THEIR CODING SCANNER MACHINE. IT GAVE US THE CODE TO CHANGE THE MAP SENSOR NEEDED TO BE CHANGED. MY HUSBAND CHANGED THIS OUT LAST SUMMER (2013). IT HELPED FOR A LITTLE BIT. :( THEN BEGAN HAVING THE SAME ISSUES, STALLING OUT WHILE DRIVING, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON/OFF AND ROUGH IDLING. HUSBAND WENT BACK AND HAD THEM HOOK UP TO CODING MACHINE AND THIS TIME WAS GIVEN THE CODE FOR O2 SENSOR, WHICH HE PURCHASED AND CHANGED OUT. NOW IT'S WORSE THAN EVER! IT WON'T EVEN STAY IDLED. IT STALLS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY! I HAVE TO KEEP MY FOOT ON THE GAS (AND BRAKE WHEN NEEDED) ALL THE TIME! IF I LET IT GO BELOW 1000RPMS IT DIES! WE TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC & WAS TOLD THE PCM WAS BAD. BUT HE TOLD US THAT THERE WERE RECALLS THAT MAY FIX THE ISSUE. SO WE TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP WHO PERFORMED THE RECALL BUT UNFORTUNATELY IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEMS. THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE "FIX" TO A PROBLEM THAT APPEARS TO HAVE NEVER HAVE BEEN RESOLVED PROPERLY BY THE MANUFACTURER!!

OCTOBER, 2013 RECEIVED NOTIFICATION THAT THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL ON MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. (AS I HAVE TWO YOUNG CHILDREN, THIS WAS A PRIORITY TO HAVE FIXED) I BROUGHT MY JEEP INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE N23 SAFETY RECALL PERFORMED. COME JANUARY, 2014 WITH A FEW INCHES OF SNOW ON THE GROUND I ATTEMPT TO ACTIVATE MY 4 WHEEL LOW AND I GET A SERVICE LIGHT STATING "SERVICE 4WD". I CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP WHO HAD PERFORMED THE RECALL AND BRING IT IN TO BE LOOKED AT. THEY RUN A DIAGNOSIS AND DETERMINE THE TRUCK HAS AN INTERNAL SHORT IN THE TRANSFER CASE. THE SERVICE TECH ADVISED ME IT IS RELATED TO THE RECALL BUT HE CAN NOT DO ANYTHING AT THE DEALER LEVEL. I NEED TO CALL CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE WHO TELLS ME THEY WILL NOT BE DOING ANYTHING TO HELP. UPON A LITTLE RESEARCH (JEEP FORUMS) IT SEEMS THERE ARE MANY (MANY) OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUES. I AM SURE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE TO CALL JEEP WITH THIS ISSUE AND IF YOU CLEAR THE CODES THE 4 WHEEL LOW ENGAGES SO IT IS NOT A SHORT. I BELIEVE CHRYSLER JEEP SHOULD LOOK INTO WHAT WAS PERFORMED WITH THE N23 RECALL AND DETERMINE HOW IT EFFECTED THE 4 WHEEL LOW ON THESE VEHICLES. THEN REPROGRAM THEM TO WORK, AS THEY WERE, AT NO COST TO THE OWNER. SINCE THIS WAS A SAFETY RECALL I FELT I HAD NO OPTION BUT TO HAVE THE RECALL PERFORMED ON MY VEHICLE NOW I HAVE A FAULTY VEHICLE. *TR

AS WITH MANY OTHERS, I HAVE A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. OWNED IT FOR A YEAR AND NO PROBLEMS. ASIDE FROM THE OLD ISSUES OF WHICH WERE AN EASY FIX. (I.E. LEAKING SUNROOF). I WENT IN FOR THE MOST RECENT RECALL, I FIGURED SURE, WHY NOT, I FIXED EVERYTHING AND ITS RUNNING GREAT! MY MISTAKE! I NOW HAVE POWER TRAIN ISSUES. GEAR NOT SHIFTING RIGHT. ONE TIME STAYED IN 3RD UNTIL I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND ON AGAIN. STAYS IN GEAR TOO LONG BEFORE SHIFT SHOULD OCCUR AND THEN 'BUCK'S INTO THE GEAR. SAME FOR WHEN STOPPING, DOES NOT SHIFT DOWN CORRECTLY AND WILL STALE WHEN I FINALLY COME TO A STOP. WHY THE RECALL! I SHOULD HAVE LEFT WHEEL ENOUGH ALONE! TERRIBLE!

WHEN I WENT TO USE THE 4WD, IT WOULD NOT ACTIVATE SO I BROUGHT IT IN FOR SERVICE AND I DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM RELATED TO THE SOFTWARE UPDATE. I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR CLOSE TO FOUR WEEKS BECAUSE THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. CHRYSLER UPDATED SOMETHING THAT EFFECTED THE REST OF THE ELECTRONIC CONTROLS AND THEY DIDN'T TEST IT OUT FIRST. IT HAS COST ME THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS AND THE CAR IS STILL NOT FIXED YET. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY JEEP WILL GO FROM D TO N. IT WILL PLACE A BOX AROUND ALL GEARS AND I WILL BE IN NEUTRAL. IT TYPICALLY HAPPENS WHEN I FIRST TAKE OFF OR WHEN I STOP AT A LIGHT OR A STOP SIGN. WHEN I FIRST TAKE OFF IT WILL REV REALLY HIGH AND NOT SHIFT DOWN AUTOMATICALLY LIKE IT SHOULD, WHEN I TAKE MY FOOT OF THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR JOLTS AND I'M IN NEUTRAL, I HAVE TO PHYSICALLY PUT IT IN NEUTRAL OR PARK IN ORDER FOR IT TO GO BACK TO DRIVE. WHEN I STOP AT A RED LIGHT IT JOLTS AND NOW IS IN NEUTRAL AND AGAIN I HAVE TO EITHER PUT IT IN PARK OR NEUTRAL IN ORDER FOR IT TO GO BACK INTO DRIVE. I HAVE CONTACTED JEEP BECAUSE THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM, HOWEVER THE PART THAT IS ON MY JEEP IS A DIFFERENT SERIAL NUMBER THAT THE RECALL AND THEY REFUSE TO RECALL IT ALSO EVEN THOUGH IT DOES THE EXACT SAME THING AND THROWS THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL WHILE I'M DRIVING! *TR

I AM WRITING THIS BECAUSE I RECEIVED A RECALL (N26) FOR MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. I TOOK MY CAR IN TO GET THE RECALL FIXED TO HUNTINGTON BEACH JEEP OFF BEACH BLVD. ON NOV. 7TH 2013 AND THEY DID THE SERVICE, BUT EVER SINCE THEY "FIXED" THE RECALL MY CAR HAS NOW BEEN SAYING ?SERVICE 4WD? AND NOT SHIFTING INTO 4WD. I TOOK THE CAR BACK INTO HUNTINGTON BEACH JEEP ON JAN 7TH 2014 AND I THOUGHT IT COULD BE AN EASY FIX BUT I GOT A CALL SAYING IT COULD BE THE ?MAIN TRANSFER CASE? AND ONCE THAT IS FIXED IT COULD ALSO BE THE FRONT AND/OR REAR TRANSFER CASES AS WELL. THEY RECOMMENDED I START OFF WITH REPLACING THE MAIN TRANSFER CASE AND THEN GO FROM THERE WHICH WOULD COST ME AROUND $800+. SO SINCE ALL MY CAR NEEDS ALL THESE PARTS REPLACED, I STARTED BECOMING VERY CONCERNED AND I JUST DON?T UNDERSTAND HOW THESE PARTS COULD WARE OUT OR BRAKE WHEN JUST ABOUT A MONTH AGO DURING INSPECTION HB JEEP PASSED ALL THESE TRANSFER CASE PARTS WITH A GREEN (EXCELLENT) SERVICE REVIEW. HOW COULD IN ONE MONTH ALL THESE PARTS BREAK WHEN I COULDN?T EVEN USE MY 4WD, AND ITS FRUSTRATING BECAUSE MY 4WD WAS WORKING FINE BEFORE I TOOK IT IN TO GET THIS RECALL UPDATE AND NOW ALL THESE PROBLEMS SEEM TO BE APPEARING. LAST BUT NOT LEAST I KNOW WITH MY CAR BEING A 2006 ITS ANYTHING BUT NEW BUT I PROBABLY USE MY 4WD A HAND-FULL OF TIMES A YEAR AND TO THINK THAT THESE PARTS ARE WORN OUT OR BROKEN JUST SEEMS VERY UNUSUAL. I SPENT SOMETIME ONLINE RESEARCHING TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE HAS HAD THIS ?N26 RECALL ISSUE? AND THERE IS THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO ARE HAVING THIS SAME SITUATION. I?M WRITING THIS E-MAIL HOPING THAT SOMEONE CAN PLEASE HELP ME AND EVERYONE ELSE HAVING THIS ?N26 RECALL ISSUE? PROBLEM GET SETTLED. I AM JUST A 23 YEAR OLD COLLEGE STUDENT AND TO HEAR THAT ALL OF A SUDDEN YOUR CAR NEEDS HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS INVESTED IN IT WHEN IT WAS WORKING FINE BEFORE I TOOK IT IN TO THIS RECALL IS JUST FRUSTRATING. *TR

MY JEEP HAS BEEN HAVING ISSUES WHERE I WILL BE DRIVING AND SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM COMES ON DASH BOARD AND ON THE PRND BOXES COME AROUND IT AND THE CAR STALES.

SOMETIMES WHEN YOU GO INTO DRIVE IT WILL JERK AND THEN YOU WILL SEE THE BOXES AROUND THE PRND THAT'S WHEN I HAVE TO SHIFT BACK INTO PARK WAIT FOR BOXES TO GO OFF THEN DRIVE. THERE IS ALSO ORANGE LIGHT ON DASH THAT COMES ON. TOOK TO REPAIR SHOP AND CODE WAS READING U0404.

2006 JEEP COMMANDER ELECTRICAL SYSTEM RECALL 13V175000 NHTSA: ACTION NUMBER: N/A SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER: 13V175000 I HAD MY COMMANDER TAKEN TO THE LOCAL JEEP DEALER TO PERFORM THE RECALL. AFTER THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED MY CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO 4LO, AND I GOT A SERVICE LIGHT. I RETURNED MY CAR TO THE DEALER TWICE MORE TO REDO THE RECALL. MY 4LO WOULD WORK FOR A FEW DAYS THEN IT WOULD AGAIN NOT WORK AND THE SERVICE LIGHT WOULD RETURN. MY DEALER THEN ORDERED A TRANSFER CASE SHIFT ACTUATOR UNDER WARRANTY, AND ASSURED ME THIS WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. AFTER THE ACTUATOR WAS INSTALLED, I HAD NO PROBLEMS FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS. I REALLY THOUGHT IT WAS FIXED FOR GOOD. THEN, THE PROBLEM RETURNED. I HAVE SINCE TALKED TO OTHERS WHO HAVE HAD THIS RECALL DONE, AND THEY ALSO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE LOSS OF 4LO, AND A SERVICE LIGHT AFTERWARD. THESE PROBLEMS WERE NON EXISTENT PRIOR TO THE RECALL IN MOST CASES. I BELIEVE THIS RECALL SHOULD BE LOOKED AT, AND RECALLED AGAIN TO FIX THIS RECALL INDUCED PROBLEM. *TR

CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE TRANSFER CASE MOTOR ACTUATOR RECALL NOTICE AND SEEKS COMPENSATION FOR REPAIRS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE SERVICE 4WD SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHERE THEY REPLACED THE TRANSFER CASE MOTOR ACTUATOR AT A COST OF $ 708.95. THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE, SEVERAL MONTHS LATER AND APPLIED FOR COMPENSATION UNDER THE RECALL. HOWEVER, CHRYSLER INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT A FIX FOR THE RECALL HAD NOT BEEN FOUND AND HE WOULD RECEIVED ANOTHER RECALL NOTICE WHEN THE DECISION WAS MADE ON HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. IN SEPTEMBER, THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A SECOND RECALL NOTICE AND CONTACTED CHRYSLER ABOUT HIS COMPENSATION. HE WAS ASSIGNED ANOTHER CASE NUMBER AND WAS INFORMED THE REFUND WOULD BE PAID OUT IN FOUR WEEKS. IN LATER OCTOBER, HE AGAIN CONTACTED CHRYSLER ABOUT THE STATUS OF HIS REFUND. HE WAS INFORMED, THE CLAIM WAS DENIED SINCE IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL ADDRESSED IN THE RECALL.

IN MAY, 2013 I RECEIVED RECALL, N23. SOON AFTER I HAD THE RECALL APPLIED. ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT TO USE THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE FEATURE IT FAILED. I WENT TO ANOTHER DEALER WHO DISCONNECTED THE TRANSFER CASE, CHECKED THE CONNECTIONS AND VOLTAGES AND FOUND THEM OK. THEY RECONNECTED THE TRANSFER CASE AND REPORTED IT OPERATIONAL. A FEW WEEKS LATER, WHILE TRAVELING, I RECEIVED ANOTHER WARNING THAT THE TRANSFER CASE FAILED. I WENT TO A LOCAL JEEP DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS NEEDING AN ACTUATOR. WHEN I RETURNED HOME I WENT TO THE DEALER THAT APPLIED THE ORIGINAL RECALL WHICH WAS A SOFTWARE UPDATE. AFTER THEY CLEARED THE ERROR CODES THEY SAID THEY FOUND A BROKEN CONNECTOR ON THE ACTUATOR. I ASSUME ALL THE MANUAL HANDLING OF THE ACTUATOR PROBABLY CAUSED THE CONNECTOR TO BRAKE. I WAS TOLD THAT THE ACTUATOR HAD TO BE REPLACED BUT WAS ON BACKORDER. I HAVE PAPERWORK THAT INDICATES THAT THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM FOUND WAS A CRACKED CIRCUIT BOARD IN THE ACTUATOR. HOW CAN A SOFTWARE UPDATE FIX A CRACKED CIRCUIT BOARD? COULD THAT BE WHY THERE ARE NO NEW ACTUATORS AVAILABLE? WERE THEY PULLED OFF THE MARKET? THERE ARE MANY JEEP OWNERS THAT I AM IN CONTACT WITH THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS I AM AND ARE BEING TOLD THE SAME THING BY CHRYSLER THAT I AM: THAT THE RECALL DID NOT CAUSE THE DAMAGE TO THE ACTUATOR. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM. SOMEONE OUTSIDE OF CHRYSLER AND THE OWNERS NEEDS TO INVESTIGATE TO GET TO THE BOTTOM. *TR

AT FIRST THEY WANTED ME TO PAY FOR A NEW ONE, BUT I POINTED OUT THAT I STILL HAD THE 100,000 MILE DRIVE TRAIN WARRANTY. THEY DID REPLACE THE ACTUATOR UNDER WARRANTY. SO FAR EVERYTHING IS OK. I USE 4LO ABOUT ONCE PER WEEK TO CHECK IF IT STILL WORKS. THE RECALL SEEMS TO DO SOMETHING TO THE ACTUATORS. ALL WAS FINE TILL I HAD THE RECALL (RE FLASH) PERFORMED. OTHERS HAVE STILL HAD ISSUES AFTER RECEIVING NEW ACTUATORS. ALSO, OTHERS HAVE BEEN FORCED TO PAY FOR THE ACTUATORS EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE OK PRIOR TO GETTING THE RECALL DONE. *TR

MY WIFE REPORTED A STRANGE THUMPING SOUND FROM UNDER THE CAR. SHE SAID IT BEGAN AFTER DROPPING CHILDREN AT SCHOOL AND GOING OVER A SPEED BUMP AT THE SCHOOL. SOMETHING SHE DOES EVERY DAY. UPON INSPECTION I FOUND THE DRIVER SIDE EMERGENCY BRAKE CABLE WAS INTERFERING WITH THE REAR UNIVERSAL JOINT ON THE DRIVESHAFT. THE CABLE WAS KINKED AND BEING CUT BY THE ROTATION OF THE DRIVESHAFT. THERE WAS ALSO ABRASION OF THE GAS TANK SPLASH GUARD. I HAVE NO DOUBT IF THIS HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE CABLE WOULD BE CUT IN HALF AND POSSIBLY WRAP AROUND THE DRIVESHAFT CAUSING THE DRIVER SIDE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO APPLY AND LOCK-UP THE WHEEL RESULTING IN A ROLLOVER. THE GAS TANK COULD ALSO HAVE BEEN PUNCTURED IF THE CABLE WAS PULLED BY THE DRIVESHAFT. SOMEHOW THE NORMAL ACTION OF THE VEHICLES SUSPENSION WAS ABLE TO PLACE THIS CABLE IN CONTACT WITH THE DRIVESHAFT. THE ROTATION OF THE UNIVERSAL JOINT CAUGHT THE CABLE PULLING IT INTO THE ROTATING SHAFT. I CONSIDER THIS A CLASS 1 DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE CORRECTED WITH A MODEL RECALL. NORMALLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE CABLE IS ROUTED OFF TO THE SIDE AND NOT DIRECTLY OVER THE DIFFERENTIAL. WHAT WERE THEY THINKING? CHRYSLER NEEDS TO DEVISE A SUPPLEMENTAL ATTACHING POINT THAT WILL ENSURE THE CABLES ARE NOT ABLE TO CONTACT THE DRIVESHAFT EVEN UNDER EXTREME OFF ROAD DRIVING. I HAVE A FULL SET OF PHOTOS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. I HAVE ORDERED A NEW CABLE BUT THE PART NUMBER IS ON BACK ORDER. THIS INDICATES THERE IS A PROBLEM WHEN THE PART CANNOT BE STOCKED DUE TO HIGH DEMAND. THIS CABLE SHOULD LAST THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE WITHOUT QUESTION. NHTSA IS THERE FOR THE PUBLIC. IT EXISTS ON PUBLIC TAXES. IT IS NOT THERE TO SHIELD CORPORATE MISTAKES AND SHORT CUTS. I FEEL THAT NHTSA IS NOT OPERATING WITHIN THE PUBLIC TRUST IF IT ALLOWS DEFECTS TO BE IGNORED. *TR

ONE PERSON ACTUALLY SUFFERED AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS ELECTRICAL ISSUE - LOSING CONTROL OF STEERING AND BRAKES. BECAUSE THEIR IS NO ENGINE CODES OR LIGHTS DEALERSHIPS ARE NOT ASSESSING THE ISSUE AT ALL OR ARE JUST THROWING PARTS AT IT HOPING IT IS FIXED AND CHARGING THE CUSTOMER A BOAT LOAD OF MONEY. SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE IDENTIFIED THAT THE ISSUE POTENTIALLY RESIDES IN THE PCM AND THE IGNITION COILS, SOME SAY THAT THE COILS PUT OF AN EM INTERFERENCE THAT IS DISRUPTING THE PCM.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ABOUT A WEEK PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT FOR NH23. IT STATED THERE WERE NO PARTS TO REPAIR IT AND TO PUT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK IN THE MEANTIME WHICH I DID. ON JULY 3RD- I TOOK MY DAUGHTER TO THE BMV TO TAKE HER ROAD TEST IN MY JEEP. THE OFFICER AND MY CHILD STATED THAT THE CAR WAS MALFUNCTIONING AND NOT SAFE TO TEST IN. WE HAD NO PROBLEM ON THE WAY THERE. I WENT OUT TO SEE WHAT COULD BE WRONG AND THE VEHICLE WAS SURGING LOUDLY AND "JUMPING" IN PLACE. IT WOULD NOT SWITCH GEARS EITHER SO IT COULD NOT BE DRIVEN. I HAD IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD MY TRANSMISSION WAS GONE. I CALLED THE RECALL NUMBER AND SPOKE TO [XXX] WHO TOLD ME THAT A SOFTWARE GLITCH WOULD'VE PREVENTED THIS PROBLEM FROM BEING DIAGNOSED AND TO HAVE IT TOWED TO GANLEY CHRYSLER IN BEDFORD, OH. I LEARNED ON 7/9 WHEN MIKE A SERVICE TECH THERE CALLED ME REQUESTING $936 TO OPEN THE TRANSMISSION. "IT'S A BROKEN PART IN THE TRANSMISSION." I ASKED HIM IF IT WAS RELATED TO THE TCA. HE SAID, "WHAT'S THAT? LET ME LOOK IT UP." HE THEN STATED, "NO. THAT'S JUST A PIECE THAT IS USED TO PROGRAM THE CAR. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT." I CALLED CHRYSLER BACK AND SPOKE WITH [XXX]. I GAVE HER THE BACKGROUND INFO AND SHE CALLED MIKE. SHE TOLD ME "IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE RECALL." THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT KNOW TO DIAGNOSE MY CAR ONCE IT WAS DROPPED OF THERE. AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE REPRESENTATIVE INSTEAD OF DOING A THOROUGH CHECK THEY MAINTAINED THAT THE PROBLEM IS THAT THERE IS A BROKEN PART IN THE TRANSMISSION AND IT IS NOT R/T TO THE TRANSFER CASE ACTUATOR. EVEN THOUGH THE TCA GOING BAD CAN CAUSE THE TRANSMISSION TO ??GO BAD?? OR BREAK. I FIRMLY BELIEVE IT COULD NOT BE APPROPRIATELY DIAGNOSED D/T A SOFTWARE GLITCH AND THAT THE TCA NEEDED REPLACING AND THE DEALER DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS AS THE RECALL STATED.

1ST PROBLEM WAS MY INTERIOR LIGHTS FLASHING ON AND OFF. I COULD NOT GET IT TO DO IT WHILE AT THE DEALERS. 2008 I THOUGHT MY TRANSMISSION WAS GOING BAD. THE DEALER SAID THAT MY TRANSMISSION HAD A LEAK AND CHARGED ME TO REPLACE SOME PART. THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THEN THEY SAID I NEEDED TO SERVICE THE TRANSMISSION. I AM SURPRISED THAT DEALER NEVER MENTION ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE JEEP COMMANDER ( I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST MY CAR) AS I HAVE CALLED SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT THE CAR SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL, AND WONDERING IF IT WAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM COMES AND GOES. I JUST PAID MY CAR OFF, AND NOW WHEN I RIDE ON THE EXPRESS WAY AND GO PAST 60 THE ENITRE CAR SHAKES BAD. IF I HIT A BUMP I CAN HEAR SOMETHING LIKE A CRACK NOISE. SOMETIMES WHEN I MAKE A SHARP TURN I HEAR A CLICK CLICK NOISE. AT THIS I DIDN'T TRUST THE DEALER AND WAS THINKING THAT MAYBE IT WAS MY AXIL. TOOK IT TO PET BOYS AND THEY COULD FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. THEY SAID I NEEDED NEW TIRES, SO I BOUGHT 4. THE PROBLEM STILL CONTINUED. I AM SO UPSET AS I AM A SINGLE MOM AND JUST FINISHED PAYING MY CAR OFF. I ALSO HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR, RADIATOR, WATER PUMP, THERMOMETER, WHICH I THOUGH WAS NORMAL AS THE CAR IS 2006. NOW PAST 2 DAYS I CAN SMELL A FUNNY SMELLY, WHITE FOG COMES OUT OF MY VENTS, AND THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR IS WET. I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM AND IT SAYS THAT IT IS THE "HEATER CORE". THE TIRE LIGHT IS ALWAY ON WITH NO FLAT. THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON FREQUENTLY AND SAYS CHECK GAS CAP. SO FAR I HAVE BOUGHT 3 GAS CAPS. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT I STRUGGLED TO PAY THIS CAR OFF AND NOW HAVING ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS.

MY JEEP COMMANDER 2006 SHIFTS AUTOMATICALLY TO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING, YOU FEEL A STRONG PULL AND A LOUD SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE, SUDDENLY THE CAR IS IN NEUTRAL AND THE GAS PEDAL DOESN'T WORK EVEN IF PRESSING IT. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNS ON FOR 2 OR 3 DAYS. THIS PROBLEM CAN CAUSE A FATAL ACCIDENT IF THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING AT A HIGHER SPEED, I'M SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR. I TOOK THIS CAR TO GET THE TRANSMISSION FIXED TWICE AND I STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, IT IS CLEARLY NOT A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT. ALSO THE DASH LIGHTS AND HEADLIGHTS START FLASHING WHILE DRIVING, INCLUDING THE AC IT SHUTS OFF WHILE LIGHTS ARE FLASHING. I CALLED CHRYSLER TO LET THEM KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THEY SAID MY CAR DOESN'T HAVE A RECALL, I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO, I'VE SPENT MORE THAN 5,000 DLLS TRYING TO FIX SOMETHING THAT CANNOT BE FIXED, I NEED HELP! *TR

MY JEEP STALLED AS I ACCELLERATED ON THE ON RAMP OF A MAJOR INTERSTATE. I COASTED TO THE SHOULDER AND TRIED TO RESTART AND WOULD NOT RESTART UNTIL I SHUT IT COMPLETELY OFF AND RESTARTED. IT RAN WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND THE CRUISE CONTROL INOPERTABLE. IDLE WAS ROUGH AT LOW AND HIGHER RPM'S. AFTER ABOUT SIX RESTARTS THROUGHOUT THE DAY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OUT BUT THE CRUISE CONTROL IS STILL INOPERTABLE. ONE WEEK LATER IT STALLED AT IDLE DURING COLD WEATHER WARM UP WITH THE SAME RESULTS FOLLOWING AS BEFORE. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED USED FROM A DEALER LESS THAN A WEEK PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT WITH 84,879 MI. A BACKGROUND CHECK THROUGH AUTOCHECK WAS CONDUCTED PRIOR TO PURCHASE WITH NO MAJOR FINDING REPORTED ON THIS SPECIFIC VEHICLE. FROM INVESTIGATIONS THROUGH MULTIBLE WEBSITES, THIS ISSUE IS COMMON WITH THIS VEHICLE FOR SEVERAL YEARS. I HAVE CHECK THE RECALL REPORTS BY VIN # AND THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT FALL IN THE PRODUCTION CATAGORY OF MANUFACTURE RECALL BUT HAS THE EXACT SAME SYMTOMS FOR A RECALL.

ALSO, THE HEATED SEATS TURN OFF AS DOES THE FAN FOR THE HEATER/AC UNIT. VERIFIED WITH LOCAL MECHANIC THAT THIS IS NOT RELATED TO THE IGNITION SWITCH AND IS MOST LIKELY AN ECM AND/OR PCM ISSUE. REPLACED BATTERY BUT PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. ENGINE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON FOR SEVERAL CYCLES, COMPUTER REBOOTS ITSELF AND THEN THE TROUBLE STARTS AGAIN SHORTLY AFTER. THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THE 06 COMMANDER BUT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE ECM/PCM RECALL (08V203000) BECAUSE I HAVE THE 6-CYLINDER RATHER THAN THE 8 CYLINDER ENGINE.

THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS YEAR ROUND. ONCE YOU PUT THE VEHICLE INTO DRIVE, ALL OF THE SHIFT LIGHTS "PRND" LIGHT UP AND THE VEHICLE WON'T ACCELERATE.

WHEN IT RANDOMLY OCCURS, IT HAPPENS WITH NO WARNING, AND YOU HAVE TO ATTEMPT TO PULL THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF ROAD, PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL OR PARK OR RESTART THE VEHICLE, AND ATTEMPT IT AGAIN. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON AND THE PROBLEM WILL HAPPEN REPEATEDLY OVER A WEEK PERIOD, THEN THE PROBLEM WILL STOP FOR A WEEK OR TWO AND THEN RESURFACE AT THE WORST TIME- FOR EXAMPLE AN INTERSECTION, AN ON-RAMP, A BUSY STREET, AND IT HAS PRESENTED HUGE SAFETY ISSUES FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. DOES IT TAKE SOMEONE DYING FOR THIS TO GET RECALLED?

DEALER SAID IT WAS A U0404 CODE INVALID DATA RECEIVED FROM GEAR SHIFT CONTROL MODULE AND A P0700 CODE TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM. THIS MODULE IS $700 AND CHRYSLER SAID IT WAS HELPING ME OUT AND DOING ME A FAVOR BY LETTING ME JUST PAY $200. I HAVE FOUND THIS EXACT PROBLEM MENTIONED ON MULTIPLE JEEP FORUM SITES. MY PARENTS HAVE REPLACED THE SAME PART AND MY BROTHER IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS NOW. I'VE TALKED WITH CHRYSLER ASKING WHY I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A PART THAT IS MALFUNCTIONING IN A UNSAFE MANNER AND WAS TOLD IT HASN'T BEEN RECALLED YET. *TR

MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER STALLS. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE 2 MONTHS AGO AND THE JEEP HAS STALLED AROUND 10 TIMES TO DATE. I TOOK THE COMMANDER TO BARTON JEEP HERE IN SPOKANE...THEY SAID THEY "FLASHED" THE COMPUTER. THEY SAID THIS SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. NOPE! STALLED 3 TIMES IN THE LAST WEEK (WHICH IS WHEN WE GOT THE JEEP BACK FROM BARTON JEEP). MY CONCERN IS THAT MY WIFE COULD GET INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT IF THE VEHICLE DECIDES TO STALL ON THE FREEWAY OR SOMEWHERE ELSE. PLEASE HELP ME! *TR

I BOUGHT THE 2006 COMMANDER USED IN AUGUST OF 2007 WITH 13,000 MILES ON IT. IT RAN GREAT, NO COMPLAINTS. IN THE WINTER-TIME, I NOTICED WHEN I STARTED IT AFTER IT HAD BEEN SITTING FOR SEVERAL HOURS, THEN PUT IT IN GEAR, STEPPING ON THE GAS PEDAL WOULD DO NOTHING BUT REV THE ENGINE. A FEW SECONDS LATER IT WOULD KICK INTO GEAR AND GO. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP WHO SAID IT JUST NEEDS TIME TO WARM UP, IT'S WINTER AND THE CAR IS COLD. WHEN SPRING ROLLED AROUND THIS WAS STILL OCCURRING. ONE DAY I WAS TRAVELING DOWN A HILL, HEARD A BIG CLUNK AND THEN THE GEAR SHIFT WOULD ONLY REGISTER 3, 4 AND 5. NO 1 OR 2. I BROUGHT IT IN AND THEY REPLACED THE SOLENOID. THE PROBLEM DIDN'T COME BACK RIGHT AWAY BUT CAME BACK EVENTUALLY. I'VE HAD THE PROBLEM EVER SINCE DECEMBER OF 2007 AND ON MONDAY I'M TAKING IT IN FOR THE 4TH TIME TO DRIVE WITH YET ANOTHER TECHNICIAN SO THEY CAN GUESS AT WHAT THE PROBLEM MAY BE. PROBLEM IS, I'M AT 35,400 MILES. ONCE I HIT 36K I'M SURE THEY'LL DISCOVER THE PROBLEM AND THEN I'LL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. *TR

THIS IS AN UPDATE OF MY PREVIOUS POST. MY 2006 3.7 LITER COMMANDER 4X4 HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER SINCE MONDAY THE 7TH. WHEN I TOOK IT IN IT HAD BEEN STALLING NOW AND THEN, THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND THE DISPLAY "SERVICE PARK ASSIST" HAD CAME ON THE DAY BEFORE I TOOK IT IN. ON THE WAY TO THE DEALER, IT SHUT DOWN NO BREAKS, STEERING, NOTHING. THE DEALER TESTED IT AND SAID IT GAVE THEM A CODE U1400 WHICH WAS THE TCM MODULE. THEY REPLACED IT AND TOLD ME TO COME AND GET IT ON JUNE 9TH. I PICKED IT UP AND ON THE WAY HOME, GOING UP A SLIGHT INCLINE ABOUT A BLOCK FRO THE DEALER, IT SHUT DOWN AGAIN, AND STARTED ROLLING BACKWARD DOWN THE HILL, AND ALL I COULD DO WAS PULL THE EMERGENCY BREAK AND PRAY THAT IT STILL WORKED, IT DID. AFTER THREE TRIES, I GOT IT STARTED AND TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER, WHO PUT A COMPUTER ON IT AS SOON AS I GOT THERE, THEY TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO GET A RIDE HOME, AND THE NEXT DAY CALLED AND SAID IT NEEDED ECM MODULE, THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THEY CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY HAD A 1000 PIECE BACKLOG ON THEM. I ASKED THEM WHAT I SHOULD DO FOR TRANSPORT, AND THEY TOLD ME I SHOULD CALL CHRYSLER BECAUSE THE CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THERE HAD BEEN A MAJOR RECALL ON THE 2006 4.7 LITER COMMANDER FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT NOT THE 3.7 MODELS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN GREAT, BUT CHRYSLER HAS BEEN UNREAL TO DEAL WITH, THEY SIMPLY DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE CUSTOMER, AND HAVE BEEN NO HELP. I CALLED THE DEALER TODAY TO LET THEM KNOW THAT CHRYSLER TOLD ME THE PART WOULD BE READY FOR DELIVERY ON JULY 18TH, BUT MY GUESS IS THAT IF THERE'S 1000 BACKORDERED, IT WILL BE SOME TIME BEFORE I WILL GET MINE.

I BOUGHT MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER IN 2006 AS A DEMO WITH 18,000 MILES ON IT. I REALLY DIDN'T DRIVE IT THAT MUCH AS YOU CAN TELL BY THE MILEAGE ON IT AND IT HAS ONLY HAD THREE OIL CHANGES. WHEN IT REACHED ABOUT 20,000 MILES IT STALLED ON MY WAY TO WORK AND I CALLED AND SPOKE TO A TECH WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR, HE TOLD ME THAT I HAD PROBABLY GOTTEN SOME BAD GAS. THEN TWO WEEKS AGO IT STALLED AGAIN AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON FOR A DAY, THEN IT WENT OUT. IT CAME ON AGAIN AND STAYED ON AND IT CONTINUED TO STAY ON, AND "SERVICE PARK ASSIST" DISPLAYED ON THE DASH. THE DEALER WHERE WE BOUGHT THE CAR IS 20 MILES FROM WHERE WE LIVE SO I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A DODGE DEALER ABOUT 3 MILES FROM MY HOME. ON MONDAY JULY 7TH WHEN DRIVING THERE FOR THE APPOINTMENT, I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN AND IT SHUT DOWN, NO BRAKES, NO STEERING, NO LIGHTS ON THE DASH, NOTHING. I GOT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND IT RE-STARTED AFTER 3 TRIES. I MADE IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY CALLED MY TODAY AND SAID IT WAS READY AND THEY HAD TO INSTALL A TCM MODULE. I WENT TO PICK IT UP, AND ON THE WAY HOME, IT DID THE SAME THING AGAIN, THE ONLY THING IT DIDN'T DO WAS DISPLAY THE ENGINE LIGHT, BUT THE STALLING AND THE "SERVICE PARK ASSIST" CAME BACK ON. I TOOK IT BACK TO THEM AND THEY HOOKED IT BACK UP TO THE COMPUTER AND TOLD ME I NEEDED TO FIND A WAY HOME AND THEY WOULD CALL ME TOMORROW. THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT YET. *TR

I TOOK IT IN AND 2 DAYS LATER MY TRANSMISSION LOCKED INTO 3RD GEAR. I'M NOT A MECHANIC BUT I DO KNOW THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS POWERTRAIN. I TOOK IT IN TO GET CHECK AND THEY SAID I NEED A NEW SOLENOID WHICH GETS ITS SIGNAL TO SWITCH GEARS FROM THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE. THEY WON'T COVER IT THOUGH. I CALLED JEEP AND THEY ALSO SAID THEY WON'T COVER IT. I ASK THE GARAGE IF THEY COULD CHANGE IT BACK TO THE WAY IT WAS BEFORE THE RECALL AND THEY SAID NO. MY JEEP WAS RUNNING FINE BEFORE I BROUGHT IT IN FOR THE RECALL. ANYWAYS AFTER ARGUING WITH EVERYONE ABOUT IT I GAVE UP AND DECIDED I'LL PAY FOR IT, BUT COME TO FIND OUT, A TRANSMISSION SOLENOID PACK FOR JEEP COMMANDERS ARE ON FACTORY BACKORDER AND DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY'LL GET THE PART. SO THAT GOES TO SAY THAT ALOT OF JEEP COMMANDERS TRANSMISSION SOLENOIDS ARE GOING BAD. I WAS DRIVING WHEN THE TRANSMISSION LOCKED INTO 3RD GEAR, THE VEHICLE GAVE US A JERK WHEN IT SHIFTED DOWN TO 3RD GEAR, FROM THEN ON IT WOULDN'T GO INTO ANOTHER GEAR. *TR

I HAVE EXPERIENCED 3 SEPARATE ACCIDENTS ON MAY 31 2006, AUGUST 2 2006 AND SEPTEMBER 20 2007 WITH THE 2006 JEEP COMMANDER LIMITED. I HAD JUST LEFT THE STOP SIGN IN THE FIRST ACCIDENT AND PROCEEDED INTO THE INTERSECTION OF A 2-WAY STOP. MY VEHICLE STALLED AND I COLLIDED WITH A GRAND AM. THE DRIVER OF THAT VEHICLE HAS FILED A CIVIL ACTION AGAINST ME IN WHICH METLIFE AUTO & CASUALTY HAS HIRED AN ATTORNEY TO REPRESENT ME. I WAS FOUND TO BE PRIMARILY AT FAULT FOR THIS ACCIDENT. THE LAWSUIT IS CLAIMING I WAS NEGLIGENT. THE SECOND ACCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN I WAS TURNING AROUND TO GET A BETTER "SHOT" INTO A PRIVATE DRIVEWAY.

I PURCHASED MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER IN OCT. 2005 FROM MCCUNE CHRYSLER JEEP IN NATIONAL CITY, CA. INITIALLY, I STARTED NOTICING MY BRAKES SHIMMYING AS I CAME TO A STOP. I REPORTED TO MY DEALERSHIP A FEW TIMES BUT NO GOOD CAME OUT OF IT. THEN, LAST THURSDAY, SEPT. 13, I NOTICED MY DASHBOARD LIGHTS (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, BRAKES AND TRANSMISSION LIGHTS) FLASHING ON AND OFF AS I ACCELERATED FROM A STOP AND HEADED UPHILL. IT FELT AS THOUGH THE JEEP WANTED TO STOP AND GO AT THE SAME TIME. I REPORTED IT TO MY DEALERSHIP AND BROUGHT IN THE VEHICLE THE NEXT WEEK. THE DEALERSHIP QUOTED ME $190 TO ANALYZE IT (SINCE MY JEEP WAS ABOUT 8,000 MILES BEYOND THE WARRANTY PERIOD). THEN, THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD COST ME OVER $400 TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. I BEGAN TO RESEARCH THE INTERNET ABOUT RECALLS ON THIS MAKE AND MODEL AND FOUND THAT CHRYSLER HAD ISSUED A RECALL ON FRIDAY, SEPT. 14, 2007. I PRINTED THE ARTICLE AND BROUGHT IT TO MY SERVICE REP AT MCCUNE. THE REP INSISTED THAT IT WAS NOT MY PROBLEM AND THAT HIS DEALERSHIP HAD NOT HEARD OF A RECALL ON MY MAKE AND MODEL. SO, I CALLED CHRYSLER'S CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT IN OAK RIDGE, TN. THE REPRESENTATIVES THERE INSISTED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. FRUSTRATED, I ACCEPTED THE DEALERSHIPS OFFER TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE. THEY QUOTED ME A $100 DEDUCTIBLE TO PLACE THE VEHICLE UNDER WARRANTY. AS I DROVE OFF, THE SAME THING HAPPENED ALL OVER AGAIN. I CALLED THE SERVICE ADVISOR AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAD HAPPENED. HE INSISTED THAT HE TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE AND THE LIGHTS NEVER CAME ON. I DIDN'T BELIEVE HIM. I FEEL THAT HE MISLEAD ME AND THAT HIS DEALERSHIP NEVER REPAIRED MY VEHICLE. I WILL BRING MY VEHICLE BACK TO MCCUNE MONDAY MORNING (9/24/07) AND I WILL SEE WHAT WILL HAPPEN. I PAID FOR A RENTAL VEHICLE LAST WEEK (OVER $100 AND THE DEALERSHIP NEVER OFFERED TO COVER MY EXPENSES. I AM SO FRUSTRATED. *TR

STRANGE NOISE COMING FROM MY CAR THAT SOUNDED LIKE PLAYING CARDS IN BIKE TIRES ENDED WITH REPLACING FRONT AXEL RING AND PINION. CAR KEPT POPPING OUT OF GEAR THE ENTIRE GEAR SHIFT WAS REPLACED. MY PASSENGER WINDOW HAD TO BE FIXED IT KEPT STICKING HALFWAY UP. I HAD A PROBLEM WHERE MY CAR KEPT STALLING. I WAS TOLD THE FIRST TIME THAT NO ERROR APPEARS ON THE COMPUTER AND JEEP KNEW OF NO ISSUE WITH CARS STALLING SO MAYBE IT WAS BAD GAS. IT DIED SEVERAL MORE TIMES AND FINALLY THEY DID REPLACE A PART INSIDE THE IDOL. I ALSO HAD AN ISSUE WHERE MY HEADLIGHTS KEPT TURNING OFF AS I DROVE OR WOULD FLASH ON AND OFF. THEY REPLACED THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH. I HAVE HAD THE RUBBER STRIPPING FROM MY BACK DRIVER SIDE WINDOW COME OFF AND NOW IT IS OCCURRING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. FROM THE BEGINNING I HAVE TOLD THEM I DO NOT FEEL MY TRANSMISSION IS WORKING PROPERLY THAT IT SHIFTS HARD AND WHEN I SHIFT FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE THERE IS A BIG HESITATION. I HAVE BEEN TOLD NO ERROR IS APPEARING ON COMPUTER AND THAT JEEP AS USUAL HAS NO KNOWN ISSUES SO THEY HAD NO SUGGESTIONS. ONCE AGAIN THEY THOUGHT IT WAS A GAS ISSUE MOVING FROM WINTER TO SUMMER BLEND. THE LAST TIME I HAD IT IN WHEN IT WAS STALLING I TOLD THEM IT THE TRANSMISSION WAS STILL HESITATING AND WOULD MAKE A POP NOISE AT TIMES THEN IT WOULD GO. IT IS STILL OCCURRING AND AT TIMES THE CAR ACTS LIKE IT MIGHT NOT SHIFT INTO DRIVE. I AM SATISFIED WITH HOW MY DEALERSHIP IS WORKING WITH ME THEY ARE DOING THEIR BEST TO HELP ME. I BLAME JEEP/CHRYSLER ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS SEARCH THE WEB TO SEE THAT THERE ARE SO MANY OTHERS JUST LIKE ME WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. THEY NEED TO RECALL THESE CARS NOW AND IF THEY CAN NOT FIND THE PROBLEM THEN REPLACE THEM FOR US. *TR

I WON A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER AND HAD SOME MAJOR PROBLEMS, MOST NOTIABLY TRANSMISSION FAILURES AND STALLING WHILE DRIVING. THE PROBLEM HAD PICKED UP. JEEP DENIED THERE WAS A PROBLEM., BUT THE DEALERSHIP STAFF WAS SEEING THIS ALOT. LAST WEEK I WAS DRIVING WITH MY FAMILY ON A WINDING ROAD IN THE MOUNTAINS WITH A BOAT IN TOW AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THANKFULLY, I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE AND NOT GO OVER THE EDGE. THEN, TODAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN IN TRAFFIC AT 40 MPH. I HAD TO PUT IN NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING AND RESTART. PLEASE DO SOMETHING. THE DEALER WOULD NOT HELP, AND SAID IT WA S JEEP'S PROBLEM. THE JEEP REPRESENTATIVE STATED THEY DO NOT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH STALLING. *AK

FROM NEW, I HAVE NOTED AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION OF MY COMMANDER WHEN STOPPED ON AN INCLINE. THE VEHICLE DRIFTS BACKWARD UNLESS YOU APPLY THE BRAKE. SEVERAL TIMES I HAVE LEFT IT DRIFT A FOOT OR SO TO SEE IF IT WOULD STOP DRIFTING, BUT IT WAS USUALLY NOT SAFE TO LET IT CONTINUE. OBVIOUSLY APPLYING THE BRAKE IS THE NORMAL THING YOU WOULD DO WHEN STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN OR TRAFFIC LIGHT ANYWAY, SO I DIDN'T CONSIDER IT A REAL PROBLEM. I REPORTED IT TO MY DEALERSHIP, AND THEY CHECKED THE TCM FOR ANY ERRORS OR PROBLEMS, CLAIMING THEY FOUND NONE. I ASKED IF THEY COULD PLEASE CHECK IT AGAIN, TEST DRIVE IT, ETC., AND THEY REPORTED THAT AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION INTO SERVICE BULLETINS OR ISSUES THEY SAW A RECOMMENDATION BASED ON A NUMBER THEY FOUND ON THE TRANSMISSION OR TCM THAT A "FLASH" OF THE TCM SHOULD BE PERFORMED. THEY REPORT THAT THIS WAS DONE. TODAY, UPON RECEIVING THE VEHICLE BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP, I TESTED THE VEHICLE TO SEE IF THIS CONDITION HAD BEEN FIXED. TODAY I FOUND A SAFE LOCATION TO TEST, AND THIS TIME I LET THE VEHICLE CONTINUE TO DRIFT BACKWARD. TO MY SURPRISE, IT CONTINUED TO DRIFT FOR ABOUT 15 FEET, AND THE VEHICLE ACTUALLY STALLED. I DID THIS TWICE WITH THE SAME RESULTS. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY INCIDENTS OR ACCIDENTS RELATED TO THIS ISSUE, BUT I DO FEEL THAT IT IS NOT CORRECT BEHAVIOR AND BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. I CANNOT REALLY EVEN THINK OF ANY SITUATIONS WHERE THIS WOULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT UNLESS THERE WAS A BRAKE FAILURE OR SOMETHING, OR IF THE VEHICLE COULDN'T BE RESTARTED AFTER A STALL. I AM JUST REPORTING THIS VERY ODD BEHAVIOR FOR AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. I CAN RE-CREATE THIS PROBLEM AT ANY TIME.

IT ALSO WOULD ACT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL IF I WERE TURNING AND HIT A CURB OR BUMP. EXAMPLES OF WHEN THIS HAPPENED: 1. AT NIGHT, MY ENGINE WAS RUNNING, THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND MY DOOR WAS OPEN; THE INTERIOR LIGHTS BEGAN TO DIM AND THE ENGINE ALMOST CUT OFF. 2. I WAS TURNING RIGHT FROM ONE ROAD TO ANOTHER AND HIT THE CURB AND THE ENGINE ALMOST STALLED. 3. I WAS STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION WAITING TO TURN RIGHT ONTO A ROAD WHEN THE ENGINE ALMOST STALLED. 3. I WAS PARKED WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING IDLE AT A GAS STATION LOOKING FOR MY ATM CARD WHEN THE ENGINE ALMOST STALLED. THESE INSTANCES SEEM TO HAPPEN EVERY COUPLE OF WEEKS. THE JEEP HAS BEEN TO 2 DIFFERENT DEALERS THREE DIFFERENT TIMES FOR THIS AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY CAN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THAT MY ALTERNATOR IS WORKING AT THE CORRECT AMPS.

WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE WE FELT IT WOULD BE SAFE FOR OUR FAMILY OF 5, MYSELF, MY WIFE AND MY THREE YOUNG GIRLS UNDER THE AGE OF 8. I HAVE LOST ALL CONFIDENCE IN THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE AND I REFUSE TO PUT MY FAMILY IN JEOPARDY WITH THIS VEHICLE, THIS VEHICLE HAS DONE THIS MANY TIMES BEFORE AND THE DEALER CAN NOT FIND A FIX.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, A PLASTIC BAG, (IN EXAMPLE, LIKE ONE FROM WALMART OR WINN DIXIE) WRAPPED AROUND THE REAR AXLE AND BROKE THE PINION SEAL AND FLUID LEAKED OUT CAUSING INTERNAL DAMAGE TO THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. THIS RESULTED IN REPLACING THE REAR END. THIS VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN ONE THOUSAND MILES AT THE TIME OF THIS INCIDENT. CHRYSLER/ DAIMLER REFUSED TO COVER THIS UNDER WARRANTY AND THEREFORE FILED THE REPAIR COST WITH MY AUTO INSURANCE. HOW CAN A 3 CENT PLASTIC BAG CAUSE SO MUCH DAMAGE TO A FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLAR SUV? THIS SUV IS ADVERTISED AS "TRAIL RATED" , WHAT ABOUT "STREET RATED"? *JB
