NHTSA Complaint #10567605 — 2006 JEEP COMMANDER

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!! THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER AS IT IS A MAJOR DRIVING & SAFETY HAZARD! *TR
