NHTSA Complaint #10631696 — 2007 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4

CRUISE CONTROL STILL DOES NOT OPERATE. SINGLE TOUCH POWER WINDOW FUNCTION NO LONGER WORKS ON DRIVER AND PASSENGER WINDOWS. WHILE COMMUTING TO WORK ON THE TOLL ROAD, RPMS REGISTERED BETWEEN 2500-3500 GOING AT A SPEED OF 75. THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME, IT WAS BETWEEN 3000-3500. I DID NOT HAVE THE AIR CONDITIONAL RUNNING. I WAS NOT ACCELERATING AND WAS NOT GOING UP OR DOWN INCLINES TO CAUSE THE HIGHER RPMS. AFTER EXITING THE TOLL ROAD, I TURNED AND WHILE ACCELERATING TO AROUND 40MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AS I WAS ON AN INSIDE LANE, I HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO ALLOW A SEMI TO PASS ON THE OUTSIDE LANE IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I HAD TO PLACE IN PARK, TURN OFF THE IGNITION SWITCH, AND TURN IT BACK ON. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON. MY AVERAGE MPG WAS 13.9, LOWER THAN IT SHOULD BE. LEAVING FOR MY COMMUTE HOME, WHEN I TURNED ON THE JEEP, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS NO LONGER LIT. I NOTICED DURING THE COMMUTE THAT THE RPMS WERE NOT AS HIGH AS IN THE MORNING, AND ALSO MY MPG INCREASED BY ALMOST A MILE PER GALLON, AND THAT WAS RUNNING AT THE SAME SPEED AND I ALSO WAS RUNNING THE AIR CONDITIONING. UPON EXITING THE TOLL ROAD, THE VEHICLE JERKED HEAVILY WHILE DOWNSHIFTING FROM OVERDRIVE. A JERKY MOTION CONTINUED FOR THE REMAINDER OF MY COMMUTE (RANGING FROM 30-55 MPH). PLEASE NOTE THAT I DO NOW TAKE PHOTOS AFTER THE ENGINE STALLS TO REFLECT THE MILEAGE AND THAT THE LIGHT IS LIT. I ALSO NOW TAKE PICTURES WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES OFF. *TR
