2006 JEEP COMMANDER Vehicle Speed Control Problems

THIS HAS BEEN THE 3RD TIME THIS TYPE OF EVENT HAPPENS, THE FIRST TIME WAS AT A CITY STREET DRIVING STRAIGHT FORWARD AT 30-35MPH AND THE ENGINE STARTED STALLING, TRUCK COMPLETELY WENT OFF, HEAD LIGHTS WOULD GO ON AND OFF, ALONG WITH MY INTERIOR DASHBOARD INDICATORS AND MEDIA CENTER. SECOND TIME, SAME THING, AND THE THIRD TIME WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 35-40MPH IN A CITY STREET AND GRADUALLY SLOWING DOWN TO 10-15MPH TO MAKE A LEFT THE TRUCK COMPLETELY WENT OFF, HEAD LIGHTS WOULD GO ON AND OFF, ALONG WITH MY INTERIOR DASHBOARD INDICATORS AND MEDIA CENTER. IT SEEM LIKE I HAD TURNED OFF THE ENGINE COMPLETELY FOR LIKE A SPLIT SECOND. I THOUGH IT MIGHT'VE BEEN THAT I HIT THE KEY WITH MY KNEE, BUT I PULLED OVER RESTARTED THE ENGINE AFTER 15 MIN, AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. ALL THE LIGHTS WOULD GO ON AND OFF AND THE ENGINE POWER WOULD SHUT DOWN, WHEN PUTTING THE GEARS, IT WOULD SOUND VERY FORCING. I TURNED IT OFF AGAIN AND WAITED 30 MIN, RESTARTED THE TRUCK AGAIN IT DID THE PROBLEM FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN IT WAS LIKE NOTHING EVER HAPPENED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS BECAME ILLUMINATED. ADDITIONALLY, THE HEADLIGHTS BECAME DIM, THE RADIO VOLUME INDEPENDENTLY LOWERED, SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER FLUCTUATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BALD HILL DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM LOCATED AT 1035 BALD HILL RD, WARWICK, RI 02886, (844) 847-4671) HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SEVERAL YEARS AGO, THE ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED HOWEVER, THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ALTERNATOR FAILED TO ELIMINATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 126,000.

Mileage: 126,000

MY JEEP LOSES POWER EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT STALLS OUT WHILE DRIVING (SCARY WHEN IT HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY) AT TIMES IT STOPS SHIFTING AND THEN SLAMS LIKE THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION FELL OUT OF JEEP.

Mileage: 112,000

THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES NOW, I HAVE BEEN DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 70 MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE IS A DING ON THE DASH BOARD AND THE CAR STALLS, AND THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. ONCE YOU SHUT DOWN THE CAR AND START IT AGAIN THE CAR WORKS FINE BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS, ACCORDING TO JEEP THEY CHARGE FOR A DIAGNOSIS AND I SEE ONLINE THAT THIS IS HAPPENING A LOT IN MY TYPE OF VEHICLE BUT JEEP HAS YET TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT. I THINK IT IS VERY DANGEROUS SINCE I HAVE BEEN DRIVING ON A FREEWAY WHERE PEOPLE ARE DRIVING AS FAST OR FASTER THAN ME AND COULD CAUSE A PROBLEM.

Mileage: 100,000

I WAS DRIVING TO DROP MY SON OFF AT SCHOOL AND WHEN I WOULD PRESS THE GAS, IT WASN'T MOVING LIKE IT SHOULD'VE BEEN. IT WAS BARELY MOVING, YOU COULD ENGINE REV BUT IT WASN'T MOVING AND DIDN'T MOVE UNTIL IT GOT TO 2, IG 2ND GEAR ON THE DASH.

VEHICLE IS HAVING ISSUES GETTING STUCK IN GEAR AND NOT SHIFTING UNLESS YOU STOP, TURN OFF, AND WHEN TURNED BACK ON WILL WORK FOR A WHILE AND THEN HAPPEN AGAIN. 3RD ROW SEAT BELT DOESNT WORK.

THE PROBLEM STARTED IN JANUARY 2019. THE VEHICLE STARTED HAVING IDLING ISSUES, COLD START IN MORNING IDLES AROUND 900, WHEN PUT IN REVERSE IT DIPS TO AROUND 500 AND WOBBLES BACK AND FORTH WHILE BACKING UP, PUT IN DRIVE AND IT WOULD BE OK BUT WOULD STALL SOMETIMES AT STOP SIGN- CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NEVER CAME ON. I HAD THROTTLE BODY CLEANED AND FUEL SYSTEM SERVICE DONE AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SAME DAY. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR RECALLS AND THEY REPLACED THROTTLE BODY ALSO. IT DROVE OK FOR A DAY AND I HAVE THE UNSTABLE IDLE BACK AND THE RPM JUMPS UP WHILE IN DRIVE BUT STOPPED AT A LIGHT. ABOUT A WEEK AGO I AM SLOWING DOWN TO STOP AT A LIGHT AHEAD AND IT STARTS VIBRATING LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL AND THE ETC AND TCS LIGHT CAME ON AND I SHUT IT OFF AND IT CRANKED RIGHT BACK UP AND DROVE IT THE REST OF THE DAY WITH NO ISSUE. ETC LIGHT WILL COME ON WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSE NO ISSUES OTHER THAN THE UNSTABLE IDLE. TODAY-5-10-19, COMING HOME AND START TO TURN LEFT AND ETC AND TCS LIGHT COME ON AND IT SEEMS LIKE IT IS IN LIMP MODE BECAUSE THERE IS A LOSS OF POWER AND ETC LIGHT IS NOW BLINKING, SO I PULL IN A PARKING LOT, CUT IT OFF FOR FIVE MINUTES AND IT CRANKS RIGHT BACK UP WITH NO LIGHTS ON AND I AM ABLE TO DRIVE 5 MILES HOME.

Mileage: 161,000

TOOK IT BACK TO SHOP, THEY DID A SECOND REPAIR AND CHARGED ME $2959.50. THEY DIDNT DESCRIBED WHAT THEY DID THE SECOND TIME. I HAD NO PROBLEMS SINCE..SO FAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED FORWARD AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED A LOCAL DEALER (TWIN CITY DODGE CHRYSLER, 650 SAGAMORE PKWY S, LAFAYETTE, IN 47905) AND WAS INFORMED TO SCHEDULE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 154,197.

TAKATA RECALL MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION @ 75 MPH ON THE HIGH WAY WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED ITSELF INTO 3RD GEAR AND WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT

Mileage: 157,000

THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS PULLING OUT INTO BUSY TRAFFIC FROM A SIDE STREET. I ACCELERATED QUICKLY AND WHEN I BACKED MY FOOT OFF THE PEDDLE THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. I TAPPED THE PEDDLE A COUPLE TIMES THINKING IT WAS CAUGHT ON THE FLOOR MATT (NOT).IT BACK OFF AND THEN IT DID IT BRIEFLY AGAIN BEFORE CORRECTING ITSELF. THIS WAS ALL IN A 10 SEC. TIME PERIOD..... THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY. I STEPPED DOWN TO PASS A CAR AND THE PEDDLE MOVED TO THE FLOOR AND STAYED THERE FOR ABOUT 15 SECONDS, RELEASED AND WENT TO THE FLOOR AGAIN FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS. I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BREAK TRYING NOT TO HIT OTHER CARS AHEAD OF ME. EVERYTIME I LIFT MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE WE WENT FASTER. THEN IT CORRECTED ITSELF AGAIN. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD THE SECOND TIME AND CHECKED TO MAKE SURE THERE WAS NOTHING ON THE FLOOR BOARD THAT MIGHT HAVE INTERFERED WITH THE PEDDLE BUT THERE WAS NOTHING. I WAS NOT USING THE CRUISE CONTROL IN EITHER OCCURRENCE. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT BUT COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN. I DID HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE CAR.

Mileage: 168,632

THE VEHICLE CRUISE CONTROL MALFUNCTIONS: NOW EVEN PRESSING "SET" AT LEAST WHILE DRIVING OVER 40 MPH MAKES THE VEHICLE ACCELERATE FAST EVEN TO 80 MPH SO I PRESS BRAKE PEDAL WHICH DOES DISENGAGE CRUISE CONTROL. EVEN IF YOU TURN CRUISE CONTROL OFF AND THEN BACK ON IT KEEPS ON HAPPENING EVERY TIME YOU PRESS SET. I DISCONNECTED POWER TO THE CRUISE CONTROL.

Mileage: 166,120

MY JEEP COMMANDER WILL START ACCELERATING EXCESSIVELY AND WILL NOT STOP UNTIL I DISABLE THE CRUISE CONTROL. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I HAD TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES AND GO INTO THE DITCH JUST TO AVOID A CAR.

Mileage: 150,000

MY JEEP DIDN'T PULL CORRECTLY, IT BACK FIRE AND WIND. WE TOOK IT TO CHRYSLER TO GET IT FIX. THE MECHANIC TOLD US THAT THE SOLENOID WENT BAD... SO WERE CHARGED $405 FOR A CONVERTER, $357 FOR A SOLENOID, $7.75 FOR A SEALER, AND $3.60 FOR A NUT NONE... TOTAL LABOR AND PARTS $1930.31... TODAY WE GO TO PICK IT UP, AND IT STILL MAKES THE SAME NOISE AND THE PROBLEM WORSEN. WE LEFT IT THERE TO BE FIXED AGAIN... AT THE MOMENT WE ARE OUT OF $2000, NO CAR, AND THEN HAD THE NERVE TO TELL ME IT WAS SOMETHING ELSE WRONG WITH MY CAR AND IT'LL BE $800 MORE TO FIX IT. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I TOLD THEM I WANTED TO SPEAK WITH THE OWNER, HE SAID HE'LL CALL ME BACK.. NOT EVEN TWO MINUTES LATER, HE GOES... "WE'LL TAKE CARE OF IT...

THE VEHICLE STALLS IN MOTION ON BOTH RESIDENTIAL AND HIGHWAY AND LOSES POWER STEERING. CRUISE CONTROL ONCE YOU SET IT ACCELERATION OCCURS ON ITS OWN THIS OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY. IGNITION BUMPS OUT OF THE ON POSITION INTO ACCESSORY OR OFF ON IT'S OWN.

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.

Mileage: 41,000

WHEN DRIVING MY JEEP COMMANDER IT STALLS. IT HAPPENS WHEN I AM STOPPED AND TRY TO GO OR WHEN I SLOW DOWN THEN TRY AND ACCELERATE. MY LIFE HAS BEEN AT RISK WHEN THIS HAPPENS. ONE OF THE TIMES I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE GOING 65MPH AND IT STALLED. I AM EXTREMELY UPSET ABOUT THIS ESPECIALLY SINCE I HAVE A 2 YEAR OLD SON THAT IS IN THE CAR WITH ME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT A STOP LIGHT, IT ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STRUGGLED PLACING THE KEY IN THE IGNITION SWITCH AND THE KEY BECAME STUCK. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V438000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURES WERE NOT OCCURRING PRIOR TO THE RECALL REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,500.

Mileage: 17,500

MY JEEP COMMANDER HAS A RECALL, I TOOK IT IN RIGHT AWAY AND WAS TOLD PART NOT AVAILABLE. IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR AND STILL NOT FIXED. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS NO PARTS IN YET AND ITS BEEN OVER ONE YEAR. ONE YEAR AND I HAVE MADE MULTIPLE TRIPS AND CALLS TO THE RIO VISTA CALIFORNIA CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND THEIR RESPONSE IS THAT CHRYSLER IS TO SEND ME A LETTER WHEN THE PART IS AVAILABLE. DEALERSHIP IS SAYING PART NOT AVAILABLE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND MY CHILDREN'S SAFETY COMES FIRST. I'M APPALLED AT HOW THIS HAS BEEN HANDLED. I'VE BEEN PATIENT FOR TOO LONG.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HWY AND MY VEHICLE TURNED OFF. I LOST POWER STEERING BREAKS AND WAS NOT ABLE TO PROPERLY MAINTAIN CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE IN ORDER TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAD HAPPENED TWICE BEFORE THIS TIME, AND I LOOKED TO SEE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY JEEP FOR AN INGITION SWITCH AND THE THE EXACT DISCRIPTION OF WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF MY CAR WAS EFFECTED FIT MY SITUATION. I THEN CALLED JEEP AND ADVISED THEM OF THIS AND THEY SAID I NEEEDED TO HAVE IT DIAGNOISED BY A JEEP DEALERSHIP. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED AT MY EXPENSENSE AND RENTED A CAR AT MY EXPENSE. THE DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED MY ASSUMPTION AND IN FACT THE ISSUE I WAS EXPERIENCING IS PART OF THE RECALL. JEEP NOW TELLS ME THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS AND THEY HAVE NOT MADE A DECISION ON WHETHER IT'S NECCESSARY TO PROVIDE A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE UNTIL THEY HAVE A RESOLVE. AM I SUPPOSED TO BE WITHOUT A VEHICLE OR POTENTIALLY DRIVE MINE WITH 3 CHILDREN, AND POTENTIALLY LOOSE POWER AGAIN CAUSING A LOSS OF CONTROL? WHAT I AM SUPPOSED TO DO FROM HERE?

WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AND CAR WENT IN TO MANUAL MODE TO NEUTRAL AND WILL NOT COME OUT OF 3RD GEAR

Mileage: 119,000

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR SHUT OFF. NO SPEED OR POWER STEERING. THIS OCCURRED ON A BUSY ROAD AND A CRASH WAS AVOIDED. I HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD THE RECALL PARTS ARE STILL UNAVAILABLE. *TR

WHEN ALMOST STOPPED THE ENGINE REVVED UP LIKE THE VEHICLE WAS POWER BRAKING..IT HAPPENED TWICE ON JAN 15, 2015 AND AGAIN ON JAN16, 2015...IT THREW US FORWARD AND THANKFULLY WE HAD ENOUGH DISTANCE BETWEEN US AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED AT THE RED LIGHT IN FRONT OF US THAT WE DID NOT HIT IT....I CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY HAZARD. IT MAKES ME LEERY TO DRIVE WHEN IT IS ACTING LIKE THIS...WE DID NOT HAVE ANY PREVIOUS PROBLEMS WITH THE JEEP BEFORE THIS DATE. I REPORTED THIS TO CHRYSLER AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT..I WOULD NEED TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER AND HAVE IT CHECKED OUT AT MY EXPENSE. WE HAVE NOT DRIVEN THE VEHICLE SINCE JAN. 16TH. *TR

2006 JEEP COMMANDER IDLING UP ON ITS OWN AND ENGINE MADE A LOUD NOISE. *MW THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER, THE NOISE WAS NORMAL FOR A HEMI ENGINE. THE CONSUMER WAS THEN INFORMED, THE PROBLEM WAS THE THROTTLE. ALSO WHEN IT RAINED, THE CONSUMER DISCOVERED WATER ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE FLOOR. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO FIND A LEAK.*JB

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY THE JEEP LOST POWER AT APPROXIMATELY 35MPH FROM THE ON RAMP ON TO THE RIGHT LANE OF THE FREEWAY. ALL THE LIGHTS SHUT OFF, ALL THE GAUGES SHUT DOWN, AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN. IT LASTED APPROXIMATELY 4-5 SECONDS, AND AFTER STEPPING ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE JEEP RE-ENGAGED AND WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN TO A SAFE DESTINATION. THE JEEP IS UNDER RECALL P41 FOR IGNITION SWITCH ISSUES, WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT BE CAUSING THE ISSUES, BUT THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE FROM CHRYSLER. THE PARTS HAVE NOT BEEN MANUFACTURED AND/OR DISTRIBUTED. IT IS POSSIBLE THE VEHICLE HAS A BAD CONTROL MODULE. THE RECALL FOR FAULTY CONTROL MODULES WAS ISSUED SEPT. 21, 2014 BUT THIS MAKE AND MODEL WAS NOT COVERED IN THAT RECALL ... ALTHOUGH IT SEEMS LIKELY IT IS HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES. *TR

Mileage: 95,802

AS I DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY I CAN BE GOING BETWEEN 40-60 MPH AND IF I LET OFF THE GAS AND JUST COAST AND THEN GIVE IT GAS AGAIN ITS LIKE IT IS IN NEUTRAL AND IT CONTINUES TO DO THIS UNTIL THE CAR IS GOING 20 MPH OR UNDER AND IT IS VERY DANGEROUS IT HAS CAUSED ME TO ALMOST HAVE SEVERAL WRECKS AND I HAVE 5 KIDS WHICH WERE WITH ME IN THE CAR EACH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE! *TR

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

VEHICLE SEEM TO LOOSE POWER WHILE CRUISING AT OR AROUND 45 MPH OR WHEN ENGAGES 4TH GEAR. RPM'S DROP REALLY QUICK FROM 3500 TO ALMOST 1500 RPM'S IN MATTERS OF SECOND. INCREASING THE RISK OF A REAR END COLLISION IF TRYING TO OVERTAKE ANOTHER VEHICLE OR DRIVING UP HILL, DEALER CAN'T FIND PROBLEM. PROBLEMS HAPPENS EVERY TIME UNDER ANY WEATHER CONDITION. *TR

WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I HAD MY CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 55 MPH AS I CAME INTO A 35 MPH ZONE I HAD TAPPED MY BRAKES AND THEN CAME TO A RED LIGHT WHERE I HAD TO STOP, WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I THEN TURNED ON STATE ROUTE 348 WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS BACK TO 55 WHEN I PUSHED THE BUTTON TO RESUME, MY 06 JEEP COMMANDER ACCELERATED TO A VERY HIGH SPEED AS IF I PUSHED THE PEDDLE TO THE FLOOR. WHEN I PUSHED THE BREAK IT THEN TURNED THE CRUISE CONTROL OFF, LUCKILY THERE WERE NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME OR I WOULD HAVE CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF THEIR VEHICLE AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. AT THIS POINT I CANNOT USE MY CRUISE CONTROL BECAUSE THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I TRY (NOTE: I ALWAYS MAKE SURE THERE IS NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME). *TR

DRIVING MY JEEP COMMANDER FROM TOPEKA,KS TO MANHATTAN,KS DROVE ON THE HIGH WAY WHEN ACCELERATED THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO JERK AND OR BEGAN A ROCKING MOTION. THE VEHICLE JERKED OR ROCKED EVERY SO OFTEN NOT CONSISTENT BUT VERY RANDOMLY DID NOT NOTICE A PATTERN. THE VEHICLE DID NOT DRIVE WELL AND FELT VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE ON THE HIGH WAY. *TR

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

I WAS STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION. WHEN I PROCEEDED TO GO ACROSS THE INTERSECTION, THE VEHICLE STARTED GOING BUT VERY SLOWLY NO MATTER HOW MUCH I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AND THERE WERE CARS COMING AT ME. IT DROVE VERY SLOWLY FOR A COUPLE OF BLOCKS AND I CAME TO ANOTHER STOP. AS I STARTED TO GO INTO THE INTERSECTION AGAIN, THE VEHICLE STARTED OFF VERY SLOWLY EVEN WITH THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR. AS I PROCEEDED IT WENT A LITTLE FASTER BUT NOT MUCH FASTER. MY DAUGHTER INFORMED ME THAT THIS SAME THING HAPPENED TO HER EARLIER WHEN SHE WAS DRIVING THE JEEP AND SHE TURNED IT OFF AND SHE CUT IT OFF COMPLETELY THEN RESTARTED IT AND IT RAN FINE. I PROCEEDED TO DO THE SAME THING(CUTTING IT OFF COMPLETELY AND TURNING IT BACK ON) AND IT RAN WELL AGAIN.

I WAS DRIVING AND HAD TO STOP BEHIND ANOTHER DRIVER WHO WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN. I WAS ON A SLIGHT INCLINE. WHEN THEY TURNED I BEGAN TO ACCELERATE. THIS IS WHEN I ENCOUNTERED MY PROBLEM. I HAD TO PUSH THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR. IT WAS AS IF THE CAR SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL. THINKING THIS WAS STRANGE I LOOKED ON MY DASHBOARD TO MAKE SURE THE CAR WAS STILL IN DRIVE. WHAT I FOUND WHEN I LOOKED WAS THAT ALL THE GEARS WERE HIGHLIGHTED. AT THIS POINT THE CAR STILL WOULDN'T GO OVER 20-25MPH. (I WAS ON A 45MPH ROAD ON A VERY BUSY MONDAY.) I GENTLY MOVED MY GEAR SHIFT AND THAT PUT MY GEAR BACK INTO DRIVE. A FEW SECONDS LATER I LOOK AT MY DASHBOARD AND ALL THE GEARS WERE BRIEFLY HIGHLIGHTED AND THEN IT WENT BACK TO JUST THE DRIVE GEAR HIGHLIGHTED. I TOOK IT IN TO AN AUTHORIZED JEEP DEALER THE NEXT DAY AND WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED A NEW SHIFTER MODULE/BEZEL. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND SOMETHING THE CHRYSLER COMPANY SHOULD OF KNOWN ABOUT AND PUT A RECALL OUT ON THIS VEHICLE. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND WAS ONLY TOLD THAT THERE ARE RECALLS OUT ON JEEP COMMANDERS FOR IT SLIPPING INTO NEUTRAL BUT THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF SAID RECALL. ALTHOUGH THE GEAR ON MY CAR SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL WHEN I HAD IT IN DRIVE. THE RECALL ALSO STATES THAT VEHICLES MANUFACTURED BETWEEN CERTAIN DATES SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR THE RECALL. MY CAR FALLS INTO THOSE DATES. I HAD TO PAY $829.00 FOR A PART AND $209.98 FOR LABOR AND $14.70 FOR SHOP SUPPLIES. THIS BROUGHT MY TOTAL TO $1,127.44. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW A PART COULD COST ME THIS MUCH? AM I THE ONLY OWNER WITH THIS PROBLEM? I GOT THE PROBLEM FIXED AND THE VEHICLE RUNS FINE NOW. I AM WANTING CHRYSLER TO ADMIT THAT THIS IS A DEFECT ON THEIR PART AND REIMBURSE ME FOR THE TOTAL SUM STATED ABOVE. *TR

THE CRUISE CONTROL HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN TO GIVE YOU THE BEST IDEA OF WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. IT CONSISTANTLY SPEEDS UP TO 20MPH OVER WHAT I INTEND IT TO BE SET AT. FOR EXAMPLE, IF I SET IT AT 40MPH IT WILL SPEED UP TO 60MPH INSTANTLY ON ITS OWN. 1. THERE WERE NO EVENTS LEADING UP TO THIS 2. IT HAPPENS EVERYTIME THE CRUISE CONTROL IS SET TO ANY SPEED. THE VEHICLE FAILS TO MAINTIAN THE SET CRUISE SPEED BY SPEEDING UP ON ITS OWN. THE MOST LIKELY CONSEQUENCE WILL BE A REAR END COLLISION WITH THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. 3.

VEHICLE SHUT OFF. THIS ALWAYS HAPPENED WHILE SLOWING. IT HAS NORMALLY BEEN WHEN SLOWING INTO A SLIGHT TURN THE SPEED DROPPED, AND THEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE INTO THE TURN. ONCE OR TWICE WHEN JUST COMING TO A START/STOP. HAVEN'T TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER YET. THOUGHT I WOULD CHECK ONLINE TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE WAS HAVING THIS PROBLEM. AND HERE I AM. *AK

AT DIFFERENT TIMES, I AND A FRIEND DRIVING MY JEEP 2006 5.7L HEMI COMMANDER HAVE ACCIDENTALLY SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY DOING 65MPH WHILE IN CRUISE CONTROL. HOW THIS HAPPENS IS LIKE THIS. DEPENDING ON HOW YOU SIT, WHEN YOU ENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL, YOU REMOVE YOUR FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR WHICH BRINGS YOUR KNEE UP RATHER CLOSE TO THE KEY IGNITION. IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING ATTACHED TO YOUR KEY CHAIN SUCH AS OTHER KEYS THAT DANGLE DOWN, THEN ALL IT TAKES IS FOR YOU TO MOVE YOUR KNEE TO THE RIGHT THEREBY KNOCKING THE KEY CHAIN WITH THE DANGLING KEYS WHICH WILL IN TURN MOVE THE KEY IN THE IGNITION TO THE OFF POSITION, BASICALLY SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE WHILE YOU ARE DOING 65MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, YOU PROBABLY WOULDN'T REALIZE THAT THIS IS WHAT JUST TOOK PLACE BECAUSE YOU'RE TOO BUSY BEING A LITTLE FREAKED OUT ABOUT HAVING JUST LOST ALL ENGINE POWER BUT THE ELECTRICAL STILL WORKS. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES. *TR

SUDDEN ACCELERATION - CAR WASH. ATTENDANT ENTERED VEHICLE AT END OF JAX CAR WASH IN ROCHESTER HILLS, MICHIGAN. I PERSONALLY OBSERVED EVENT - WHEN DRIVER PUT VEHICLE IN GEAR IN SUDDENLY VIOLENTLY ACCELERATED. THE QUICK REACTION OF THE JAX DRIVER PREVENTED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. HE NEARLY MISSED A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF THE CAR WASH BEING DRIED OFF BY OTHER EMPLOYEES AND SEVERAL EMPLOYEES BY THE DRY TOWEL CONTAINERS - MANAGING TO GO BETWEEN THEM. HE ENDED UP RUNNING OVER A SIDEWALK CURB, BUT MANAGED TO GET IT INTO NEUTRAL AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF BEFORE ENTERING THE MAIN HIGHWAY. THE VIOLENT ACCELERATION I OBSERVED WAS JUST SHORT OF A MIRACLE THAT HE MANAGED TO AVOID PERSONNEL, VEHICLES, AND TO STOP THE VEHICLE BEFORE IT ENTERED THE HIGHWAY. AFTER SHUTTING IT DOWN FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND PERFORMED NORMALLY. THIS VEHICLE HAD BEEN THROUGH THIS CAR WASH PREVIOUSLY WITH NO ACCELERATION PROBLEM. IT HAD JUST TURNED OVER 18,000 MILES AND HAD NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN PREVIOUSLY. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION.*AK

I PURCHASED 2006 JEEP COMMANDER DEC '06. HAD CONTINUOUS ISSUES W/THE PERFORMANCE -SERVICE DEPT CAN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. APPROX THREE MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE, I WAS PULLING OFF FROM A PARKING SPACE -CAR CUT OFF COMPLETELY. I ASSUMED THAT I HIT THE GEAR OR DIDN'T HAVE COMPLETELY ENGAGED. B/C A NEW CAR, I THOUGHT IT WAS STRANGE BUT NOT A REAL ISSUE. IN AUG '06, TAKING MY CAR IN FOR ROUTINE SERVICE, BACKING UP IN THE DEALERSHIP LOT & THE CAR CUT OFF COMPLETELY. ADDED THE REQUEST TO HAVE THE ISSUE CHECKED. I EXPLAINED THIS WASN'T THE 1ST TIME THE CAR CUT OFF AND THERE MUST BE A PROBLEM. WAS TOLD THAT NOTHING FOUND. IN SEPT '06, I WAS DRIVING TO WORK IN STOP & GO TRAFFIC - MY CAR CUT OFF COMPLETELY. I WAS ABLE TO APPLY THE HAZARD LIGHTS TO WARN OTHER DRIVERS. I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AND TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE. I EXPLAINED THAT THIS WAS THE 3RD TIME THAT THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF, AND SOMETHING NEEDED TO BE DONE. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE SITUATION AND WAS ASKED TO PICK UP MY CAR. I TOLD THE SERVICE ADVISOR THAT I WAS NOT PICKING UP MY CAR UNTIL SOMETHING WAS DONE. MY CAR CUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING! THAT IS NOT SAFE. I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL I AM IN A TRAGIC ACCIDENT TO SAY SEE, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT REPORTED THAT THEY CONTACTED THE STAR HOTLINE AND REPLACED THE PCM AND INSTALLED A CONTROL PROGRAM. I HAVE CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE STALLING AND HESITATION WHILE DRIVING BUT THE CAR HAS NOT COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN ACCELERATING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC, NOR PASS OTHER VEHICLES. I FEEL TOTALLY VULNERABLE THAT THE COMMANDER WILL SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. DURING MY LAST SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE 1/31/07, I INFORMED THE SERVICE ADVISOR THAT I AM STILL EXPERIENCING HESITATION/STALLING. THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING. I HAVE BEEN ADVISED TO SET UP A TIME TO LEAVE MY VEHICLE FOR OVERNIGHT ROAD TEST. *NM
