WHEN DRIVING VEHICLE JUST STOPS RUNNING COMPLETELY- POWERS DOWN! HAVE TO PUT IN PARK THEN RESTART. HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES AND IS SCARY ESPECIALLY WHEN IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION TURNING AND LOSE POWER STEERING AND CONTROL OF TURNING. *TR

BOUGHT THIS JEEP IN 2007. RECENTLY WHEN I SLOW DOWN TO STOP IT JUMPS AND STALLS OUT. IT HAS BEEN TO THE MECHANIC SEVERAL TIMES AND HE CANNOT FIGURE OUT THE CAUSE. I FOUND A FORUM ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT WHY THIS VEHICLE DOES THIS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR IT SIMPLY CUT OFF - WENT DEAD. I HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD WITH NO POWER STEERING. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH THIS VEHICLE. ONCE OFF THE ROAD - I AM ABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTART. THIS HAPPENS FOR NO REASON. I HAVE HAD THE CAR IN THE SHOP SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO EXPLANATION WHAT IS HAPPENING. *TR

2006 JEEP COMMANDER - VEHICLE STALLING BEFORE ACCELERATION, POWER-STEERING BECAME DIFFICULT: BETWEEN 24,000 - 30,000 MILES, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO STALL AND THE MOTOR HAS COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE INCIDENT. NO ACTIONS WERE TAKEN AT THE DEALERSHIP. WE WERE TOLD IF IT DOES NOT HAPPEN WHILE AT THE DEALER, THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. THE VEHICLE JUST REACHED 30,000 MILES AND THE POWER STEERING IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY MORE DIFFICULT. A SCRUBBING AND LOUD NOISE CAN BE HEARD WHILE TURNING THE WHEEL TO THE RIGHT. THE VEHICLE IS SCHEDULED TO BE LOOKED AT BY THE SAME DEALERSHIP. *TR

THE VEHICLE SPONTANOUSLY SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. *TR

DURING SEPT. '06, I INFORMED CHRYSLER AND A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP OF A SAFETY DEFECT--STALLING IN TRAFFIC--WITH MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER LIMITED . FROM SEPT. '06 TO DEC. '07, I MADE SEVERAL PHONE CALLS AND WROTE SEVERAL LETTERS TO CHRYSLER (VIA ITS REGISTERED AGENT) CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM. ALL OF MY LETTERS WERE IGNORED. FROM SEPT. '06 TO DEC. '07, CHRYSLER REQUIRED ME TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP CONCERNING THE STALLING PROBLEM, EVEN THOUGH CHRYSLER'S EMPLOYEES KNEW A TASK FORCE HAD BEEN FORMED TO DEAL WITH THE PROBLEM. IN LATE DEC. '07, I DISCOVERED AN INTERNET ARTICLE ENTITLED "JEEP STALLING PROBLEM" AND FAXED THE ARTICLE TO CHRYSLER. ACCORDING TO THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS ARTICLE, MANY CUSTOMERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE 2006 JEEP COMMANDER LIMITED, AND EVEN CHRYSLER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE. AS A RESULT OF GAINING ACCESS TO THIS ARTICLE, I WAS...

MY JEEP COMMANDER HAS SHUT OFF ON A FEW OCCASION IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. MOST RECENTLY IT SHUT OFF GOING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH WHILE GOING DOWN A STEEP HILL. ALL GAUGES, GAS POWER, AND AIR TURNED OFF THE RADIO WAS STILL ON. IT HAPPENS INFREQUENTLY AND NOT IN CONJUNCTION WITH ANY OTHER ACTION THAT I KNOW OF. *TR

SEVERAL TIME OUR 2006 JEEP COMMANDER HAS SHUT OFF FOR NO REASON. 4 TIMES WHILE TURNING INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THIS ISSUE CAN KILL SOMEBODY. *TR

2006 JEEP COMMANDERS ENGINE STALLS AND HEADLIGHTS GO OUT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, AT WHICH TIME THEY ADVISED THAT THEY COULD NOT HELP ME. THEY SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO SEE IT HAPPEN...LIKE WHEN MY LIGHTS WENT OUT ON A DARK FREEWAY ALMOST KILLING ME AND MY HUSBAND. *TR

MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER STALLS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND HAS TO BE RESTARTED IN MOTION. IT ALSO STALLS IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS AND WHILE SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AT LEAST 4 TIMES AND IT HAS HAPPENED AT 70MPH AT LEAST TWICE. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. THE DEALER HAS DONE ALL THEY CAN TO TRY TO FIX IT BUT CAN NEVER RECREATE THE PROBLEM. IT STOPPED FOR ABOUT 6-8 MONTHS BUT YESTERDAY THEY HAD TO REPLACE MY BATTERY AND IT STARTED ALL OVER AGAIN. IT HAS DONE IT 3 TIME IN THE LAST 24HRS WITH MY CHILDERN IN THE CAR. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS POSTS REGARDING THE SAME PROBLEM AND CAN'T BELIEVE A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED. I GUESS SOMEONE HAS TO BE INJURED OR WORSE. *TR

PULLING OUT OF GROCERY STORE PARKING LOT AND JEEP COMPLETELY DIES. CARS LOCK THERE BRAKES TO AVOID HITTING MY CAR. I HAD MY WIFE AND 2 YR OLD DAUGHTER IN CAR WITH ME. DROVE CAR TO DEALERSHIP RIGHT AWAY AND TOLD THEM TO FIX IT. THEY TOLD ME LATER THAT DAY THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT AND JUST FLASHED THE COMPUTER FOR THE THIRD TIME. DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN CAR. THERE IS NO PARTICULAR TIME OF THE DAY, TEMPERATURE OR SPEED WHEN CAR STALLS. WORKING ON GETTING RID OF THE CAR AND GET ONE I DO NOT HAVE WORRY ABOUT GETTING HURT OR POSSIBLE DYING IN. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE STALLED ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. AFTER THE FIRST TWO, THE SERVICE DEALER REPLACED THE FRONT CONTROL MODULE. AFTER THE THIRD INCIDENT THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED WHO OFFERED TO SEND A TECHNICIAN TO ANALYZE THE PROBLEM.

VEHICLE HAS STALLED TWICE DURING OPERATION NEARLY CAUSING SEVERE ACCIDENTS. ONCE WHILE EXCITING OFF RAMP OF FREEWAY AT AROUND 40 MPH AND ONCE WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. WITH NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES EITHER SITUATION COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY, WE WERE JUST LUCKY THAT THE DRIVERS AROUND US WERE ALERT AND WE WERE ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND GET AWAY SAFELY. THE SECOND OCCURRENCE HAPPENED WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR AND FRIGHTENED US ALL. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP, THE DEALER MENTIONED NO KNOWN PROBLEMS. I CAME HOME AND DID A QUICK WEB SEARCH AND FOUND SEVERAL POSTINGS ON VARIOUS WEB SITES STATING THE SAME PROBLEM. SOME ONE IS GOING TO BE KILLED IF THEY HAVE NOT ALREADY AS A RESULT OF THIS.
