NHTSA Complaint #10499543 — 2008 JEEP COMMANDER

MY 2008 JEEP COMMANDER OVERLAND EDITION HAS BEEN STALLING OUT AND JUMPING. IT STARTED WITH DYING WHEN I WOULD COME TO A STOP AT A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT. I WOULD PUT IT IN PARK AND IT WOULD CRANK BACK UP. IT THEN GRADUATED TO "JUMPING" WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 60+ MPH. IT WOULD JUMP AS IF IT CAME OUT OF GEAR, BUT THEN KICK BACK IN AND CONTINUE AS IF NOTHING WAS WRONG. IT HAS NOW STARTED JUMPING LIKE THAT AND DYING WHILE DRIVING AT 60+ MPH. IT JUMPS, THEN DIES AND WE LOSE POWER STEERING. IT IS VERY SCARY AND VERY DANGEROUS. THANKFULLY I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PUT IT IN PARK AND IT START RIGHTS BACK UP. I HAVE TAKEN THE JEEP INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND OTHER MECHANICS. I AM ALWAYS TOLD THAT THERE ARE NO WARNINGS THAT SHOW UP IN THE COMPUTER AND THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE, SO THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I AM AFRAID THAT THIS WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY BEFORE ANYTHING IS DONE ABOUT THIS. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ONLINE AND DISCOVERED THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE, BUT NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW THE CAUSE. I ALSO NOTICED THERE WAS A RECALL ON 1338 JEEPS BECAUSE SOME PART WAS CAUSING THEM TO STALL OUT. WHEN I CALLED CHRYSLER, THEY TOLD ME THAT MY JEEP WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I FIND IT STRANGE THAT MY JEEP IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE, BUT I AM BEING TOLD THAT THE RECALL DOESN'T AFFECT ME. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THIS ISSUE WITH MY CAR AND WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT BEFORE ANYONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT. *TR
