2006 JEEP COMMANDER Engine And Engine Coolingengine Problems

THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS YEAR ROUND. ONCE YOU PUT THE VEHICLE INTO DRIVE, ALL OF THE SHIFT LIGHTS "PRND" LIGHT UP AND THE VEHICLE WON'T ACCELERATE. IF YOU ARE ALREADY DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD/ FREEWAY, IT WILL RANDOMLY LIGHT UP AND STOP ACCELERATING. WHEN IT RANDOMLY OCCURS, IT HAPPENS WITH NO WARNING, AND YOU HAVE TO ATTEMPT TO PULL THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF ROAD, PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL OR PARK OR RESTART THE VEHICLE, AND ATTEMPT IT AGAIN. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON AND THE PROBLEM WILL HAPPEN REPEATEDLY OVER A WEEK PERIOD, THEN THE PROBLEM WILL STOP FOR A WEEK OR TWO AND THEN RESURFACE AT THE WORST TIME- FOR EXAMPLE AN INTERSECTION, AN ON-RAMP, A BUSY STREET, AND IT HAS PRESENTED HUGE SAFETY ISSUES FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. DOES IT TAKE SOMEONE DYING FOR THIS TO GET RECALLED? I HAVE READ FORUM AFTER...

THE VEHICLE WILL STALL AT SLOW SPEEDS AND DURING IDLE. NO CODES ARE STORED IN THE COMPUTER SO THERE IS NO WAY FOR JEEP TO TRACK IT DOWN. IT HAS HAD ALL THE RECALLS CORRECTED ACCORDING TO JEEP. *TT

I PURCHASED A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER 5.7 L HEMI IN MAY OF 2009 WITH 46K MILES .SHORTLY AFTER THE POWER STEERING PUMP WENT OUT ,I HAD IT REPLACED .THEN THE CAR STARTED TO STALL PRETTY MUCH EVERYDAY AND I TOOK TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT NEEDED A NEW BATTERY . TWO DAYS LATER THE CAR STALLED AGAIN ON THE INTERSTATE AND THIS TIME THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED A NEW IGNITION SWITCH AND THE PROBLEM WILL BE FIXED. THIS REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF STALLS AND IT WILL HAPPEN ABOUT TWICE A MONTH . THEN I WAS DRIVING WITH MY SON IN THE 3RD ROW SEAT AND I CUT OFF BY ANOTHER CAR AND HAD TO SLAM ON MY BRAKES THE BELT BUCKLE BROKE OFF AND MY SON END UP ON THE FLOOR . IN JULY 2010 I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 65 MPH AND ALL OF...

THIS WILL BE THE FINAL TIME I WILL FILE A COMPLAINT, AS I HAVE CALLED THE BANK AND TOLD THEM TO COME AND GET THE CAR.

THERE IS A 4/07 NHTSA INVESTIGATION INTO 2006-7 JEEP COMMANDERS' INTERMITTENT AND PERSISTENT ENGINE STALLING PROBLEMS - SUPPOSEDLY IN RESPONSE TO 76 COMPLAINTS. NHTSA REALLY NEEDS TO READ ITS OWN COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, WHICH CAN BE FOUND NOT ONLY IN THE COMMANDER LINE BUT ALSO IN 2005-2008 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET (JEEPFORUM.COM, USENET NEWS, ETC.) ABOUT JEEP VEHICLES STALLING, BESIDES THE COMMANDER. I FEAR THAT EVEN IF CHRYSLER IS FINALLY FORCED TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM UNDER THIS INVESTIGATION, THEY WILL SIMPLY POINT TO THE "2006-7 COMMANDERS" PORTION OF THE SETTLEMENT AND COMPLETELY IGNORE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM IN OTHER YEARS AND OTHER MODELS OF JEEP. THEY CANNOT BE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE WAVING OFF THEIR CUSTOMERS, WHO PAID FOR THEIR PRODUCTS IN GOOD FAITH, AND NOW ARE NOT BEING SUPPORTED. THEY NEED TO BE FORCED TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND RECTIFY THIS VERY WIDE SPREAD...

MY HUSBAND AND I FINANCED A USED 2006 JEEP COMMANDER WHILE HE WAS HOME ON 2 WEEKS OF LEAVE FROM AND 18 MONTH TOUR IN AFGHANISTAN. ABOUT A WEEK AFTER WE TOOK THE CAR HOME IT STALLED OUT FOR THE FIRST TIME. A WEEK AFTER THAT IT DID IT AGAIN AND WE IMMEDIATELY PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND TOOK IT TO THE CLOSEST DEALER WHICH WAS LUCKILY LESS THAN 2 MILES DOWN THE ROAD. HE HOOKED IT UP TO DIAGNOSTICS AND TOLD US SOMETHING ABOUT THE COMPUTER RECORDING A FREAK READING OF BAROMETRIC PRESSURE WHICH IS WHAT MADE THE CAR SHUT OFF AND THAT IT SHOULDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. AFTER MY HUSBAND RETURNED TO AFGHANISTAN TO FIGHT TERRORISM FOR THE US ARMY I WAS DRIVING HOME AFTER DARK FROM OUT OF TOWN AND MY HEADLIGHTS STARTED TO FLICKER...THE FREQUENCY OF THIS KEPT INCREASING AND EACH TIME THIS HAPPENED THE INTERIOR LIGHTS...

MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER CONTINUALLY STALLS, THREATENING THE LIVES OF WHOEVER IS IN THE CAR. THERE IS NO WARNING. SUDDENLY THERE WILL BE A COMPLETE LOSS OF CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE. NO WARNING LIGHTS, NO BELLS, SOUNDS, WHISTLES...NOTHING! THE ONLY WAY TO REMEDY IS TO TURN VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART. THIS TURNS IN TO A LIFE THREATENING INCIDENT WHEN THE TRAFFIC BEHIND YOU IS UNAWARE THAT YOU ARE IN FACT STALLED. THE DEALERSHIP HAS NO UPDATES OR COMPLAINTS OF THIS PROBLEM (YA, RIGHT) AND DRIVES IT AROUND THE BLOCK...WITH NO INCIDENCES OCCURRING. IF THEY THINK IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN WHILE THEY'RE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THEY'RE WRONG. I 'M RISKING MY FAMILIES LIVES EVERY TIME WE GET IN THE CAR. IT'S THE MOST EXPENSIVE PIECE OF JUNK I'VE EVER OWNED! VISIBILITY OUT THE REAR WINDOW WHEN THE 3RD ROW SEATS ARE UP IS JUST ABOUT ZERO. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. YOU...
