NHTSA Complaint #10701155 — 2007 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4

I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE SINCE NEW AND HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING INFREQUENT AND USUALLY MOMENTARY ENGINE STALLS WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FOR YEARS. EACH TIME THERE WAS A SLIGHT CLUNK SOUND AND LURCH FORWARD - AS IF THE CRUISE CONTROL HAD JUST DISCONNECTED, AND WITHIN A SECOND OR SO EVERYTHING WOULD BE BACK TO NORMAL. BUT ON A RECENT TRIP I HAD THREE INCIDENTS OVER TWO DAYS WHICH WERE MUCH WORSE, PERHAPS BECAUSE THEY ALL OCCURRED AT TEMPERATURES AROUND 0 DEGREES F.OR BELOW. IN TWO INCIDENTS, WHILE DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE AT A STEADY 75MPH, INSTEAD OF THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY RECOVERING, IT TOOK LONG ENOUGH THAT THE VEHICLE HAD SLOWED DOWN TO 30-35MPH BEFORE THE ENGINE RESTARTED ITSELF. IN ONE INCIDENT ALSO WHILE DRIVING AT A STEADY 75MPH ON AN INTERSTATE THE ENGINE DID NOT RECOVER AND I HAD TO PULL OFF ONTO THE SHOULDER AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP WITH NO POWER. I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN AND THE ENGINE RESTARTED IMMEDIATELY. I HAD NO LOSS OF ELECTRICAL POWER DURING THESE INCIDENTS, AND I HAVE NOTHING DANGLING FROM NOR COULD I HAVE BUMPED THE IGNITION KEY. I HAVE ALWAYS MAINTAINED THE VEHICLE ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE SCHEDULE AND HAVE HAD ALL RECALLS PERFORMED, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE LATEST ONE FOR WHICH THE DEALER STILL HAS NOT RECEIVED THE PARTS FROM JEEP. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO A JEEP DEALERSHIP THE SAME DAY AS THE SECOND AND THIRD INCIDENTS AND THEY SAID THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. I ASKED THEM IF POSSIBLY THE POWER CONTROLLER MODULE RECALL NEEDED TO BE DONE A SECOND TIME, AND THEY RESPONDED THAT JEEP WOULD NOT PERMIT THAT. *TR
