2006 JEEP COMMANDER Engine And Engine Coolingengine Problems

ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER LIMITED'S ENGINE HAS SHUT OFF. THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT, THE ENGINE CUTS OFF AND YOU ARE JUST SITTING THERE. THIS IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS AS THERE IS ALWAYS TRAFFIC AND YOU DON'T HAVE THE STEERING TO EASILY MOVE YOUR CAR TO A SAFE PLACE. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY BY CHRYSLER. *JB

I OWN A JEEP COMMANDER WITH A 3.7 V6 ENGINE 2006 4X4. I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH STALLING AND IDLING. AT TIMES THE CAR SPUTTERS AND HESITATES. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER ON A COUPLE OF TIMES AND THEY CANNOT FIX THE PROBLEM. *JB

2007 JEEP COMMANDER, V8 ENGINE.....THIS VEHICLE HAS STALLED NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED NEW 02/2006. IT STARTED ABOUT 3 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE AND IS CONTINUING TO STALL TO THE POINT THAT I WILL NOT ALLOW MY TEENAGER DAUGHTER TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. MY DEALERSHIP (I HAVE PURCHASED 6 NEW CHRYSLER VEHICLES OVER PAST 16 YEARS) SAYS THEY HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO FIX, THAT I WILL HAVE TO WAIT ON CHRYSLER TO RECALL IF THERE IS A PROBLEM. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED IN THIS VEHICLE, IS THAT WHAT IT TAKES TO GET SOMEONE TO REALIZE THERE IS A PROBLEM? THEY SUGGESTED THAT I CALLED AND COMPLAIN TO YOU AS WELL AS CHRYSLER.....*NM

I HAVE A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER, I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE SINCE NOVEMBER 2005. I HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE TO THE DEALER ON DIFFERENT OCCASION DUE TO MY CAR STALLING. IT ISN'T UNTIL MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKS AND I CAN'T PUSH THE GAS PEDDLE THAT I REALIZE I HAVE NO POWER. MY DASH LIGHTS DON'T COME ON, MY RADIO DOESN'T GO OFF. I JUST STALL... THE DEALER SAYS " THE COMPUTER DOESN'T REGISTER THE CUT OFF", AND THEY CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. SO I HAVE THIS CAR THAT I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL DIE....I WAS GOING TO A VALENTINE PARTY AND ON MY WAY THERE MY CAR CUT OFF TWICE WITHIN A MINUTE AND HALF AND NEITHER SHOWED UP ON THE MY VEHICLES COMPUTER, THE PERSON THAT WAS BEHIND ME AT THE TIME GOT A LITTLE ROAD RAGE AND SPED AROUND ME WITH THE FINGER. I HAVE AN 8...

RE: PE07-009 -- 2006 JEEP COMMANDER 4.7L V8 -- AUTOMATIC STALLED EVERY TIME BACKED OUT OF GARAGE AND ON OTHER SLIGHT INCLINES AT SLOW SPEEDS. HAD THE CAR FOR 6 DAYS ON A RENTAL FROM ENTERPRISE. INVESTIGATOR CHRIS LASH MAY WANT TO QUERY ENTERPRISE ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE OF THE COMMANDERS IN THEIR FLEET -- QUICK WAY TO CAPTURE FEEDBACK ON A LARGE NUMBER OF CARS. MOREOVER, ENTERPRISE SEEMS TO KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY ARE VERY WILLING TO SELL THESE CARS OUT OF THE FLEET PROGRAM WELL IN ADVANCE OF THE VEHICLE MEETING MINIMUM MILEAGE LIMITS USUALLY OBSERVED. WE WERE CONSIDERING BUYING A CAR FROM THEM UNTIL WE DISCOVERED ON THE WEB-BLOGS THAT MANY CUSTOMERS HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR STALLING INCIDENTS. *JB

I BOUGHT A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER WITH A 5.7L HEMI IN DEC. OF 2006. I NOW HAVE ROUGHLY 3000 MILES ON IT AND IT'S STALLS DAILY. SOMETIMES TWO-TIMES A DAY. WHETHER I AM ON A HIGHWAY EXIT RAMP, AT A STOP LIGHT OR SLOWING DOWN THIS VEHICLE RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF. IT'S SEEMS TO ONLY HAPPEN WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND RIGHT AFTER I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS PROBLEM BEGAN ABOUT A WEEK AND A HALF AFTER I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. I HAVE NOTICED LOT'S OF REPORTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM. I WANT THIS PROBLEM FIXED OR I WANT A DIFFERENT VEHICLE. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN 7 MAJOR CRASHES INVOLVING BUSY INTERSECTIONS CAUSE OF THIS STALL PROBLEM. MY WIFE REFUSES TO RIDE IN THE VEHICLE AND I HATE DRIVING IT NOW. *JB

THE CAR GOES COMPLETELY DEAD WHILE BEING DRIVEN. ELECTRICAL, STEERING, BRAKES, EVERYTHING GOES OUT. THE CAR IS MOVING WHEN THIS HAPPENS. IT HAS NEVER QUIT RUNNING WHILE STOPPED, WHICH WOULD NOT BE AS DANGEROUS. HAVE TO STRUGGLE TO CONTROL THE CAR AND BRING IT TO A STOP, WHILE TRAFFIC IS COMING AT ME FROM ALL SIDES. WHEN I PUT IT IN PARK AND START IT UP, IT RUNS FINE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 9 TIMES IN LESS THAN A YEAR. IT'S POTENTIALLY DEADLY TO THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS IN THE CAR, AND ANY OTHER CARS OR PEDESTRIANS IN THE VICINITY. I'VE COMPLAINED MANY TIMES BUT THE SERVICE DEPT. DISCOURAGED ME FROM BRINGING IT IN SINCE IT DIDN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME I DROVE THE CAR, BUT FINALLY GOT SO BAD I TOOK IT IN. TWO TIMES THEY COULD NOT FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. NOW THE CAR HAS A MONITOR HOOKED...

WHILE DRIVING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC MY COMMANDER SHUTS OFF. IT ALSO STALLS AT TIMES WITHOUT SHUTTING OFF. THE ESP LIGHT ALSO COMES ON WHEN I FIRST TURN ON THE VEHICLE ON IN PARK. I TURNED INTO THE DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, AND WERE NO HELP IN TRYING TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. *NM

(1) CAR IS OFF, BUT AIR CONDITIONER, OR BLOWER, IS TURNED ON (2) CAR STARTS, ENGINE LIGHT, OR GAS GAUGE DOESN'T COME ON, IT STARTS, YOU DRIVE A BIT, IT MAKES NOISE(S) THEN STALLS (3) TURNED CAR OFF AFTER IT ROLLS TO A STOP. WHEN I TURN THE AIR CONDITIONER, OR BLOWER TO THE OFF POSITION I SEEM TO NOT HAVE AS MANY STALLS, IF NOT ANY. WHEN THE DEALERSHIP LOOKS AT IT WHEN THE ENGINE LIGHT IS OFF THEY CANNOT SEE ANY ERROR CODES. WHEN THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON WHO IS NEAR A DEALER TO SEE THE FREAKING' ERROR CODES?!?!?! *JB

2006 JEEP COMMANDER - PURCHASED NEW IN 02/2006....VEHICLE CONTINUES TO STALL (MOTOR DIE COMPLETELY) WHEN DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS, IE PULLING OUT FROM RED LIGHTS OR TURNING INTO DRIVEWAYS, ETC. I HAVE REPORTED TO DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT ANY LUCK, CALLED TODAY BUT THEY SAID THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IT IS AND UNTIL JEEP/CHRYSLER LETS THEM KNOW HOW TO FIX IT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT OR KILLED BY THIS VEHICLE. *NM

ENGINE STALLED WITH NO WARNING WHILE DECELERATING ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET. PUT VEHICLE IN PARK AND IT RESTARTED WITH NO PROBLEM. *NM

ENGINE STALLED WHILE STARTING TO DRIVING INTO A PARKING SPACE. WAS ABLE TO IMMEDIATELY RESTART VEHICLE AND MOVE OUT OF THE TRAFFIC LANE AND FULLY INTO THE PARKING SPOT. SERVICE DEPARTMENT INDICATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING UNLESS THEY WERE ABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM ON A SHORT TEST DRIVE. *NM

MY WIFE AND I PURCHASED A NEW 2006 JEEP COMMANDER LT WITH A 5.7 LITER V8 ON JULY 24, 2006. FOUR DAYS LATER WE WENT ON A ROAD TRIP FROM WASHINGTON DC TO BOSTON, MA. JUST OUTSIDE NEW YORK CITY, THE COMMANDER STALLED (WENT DEAD, NO POWER BRAKES, STEERING) IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. SCARED US BOTH. MANAGED TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. PUT IT IN PARK AND TURNED THE IGNITION AND STARTED THE COMMANDER AND CONTINUED DRIVING. THE COMMANDER HAD LESS THAN 800 MILES ON IT. WE CALLED THE DEALER. THEY SAID TO BRING IT IN WHEN WE GOT BACK. THE NEXT DAY ON OUR WAY BACK HOME WE STOPPED IN A JEEP DEALERSHIP IN MYSTIC CONN. THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC AND CAME UP WITH 2 CODES P1684 AND P0884. THEY CLEARED THE HISTORY, TESTED AGAIN AND FOUND NOTHING. WE TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP ON...

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED UNEXPECTEDLY AFTER APPROACHING A STOP SIGN ON 06/20/06. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR WHICH MADE THE VEHICLE LEAP FORWARD, THEN STALL OUT. THE 2ND INCIDENT ALSO OCCURRED DURING ATTEMPTED ACCELERATION. ON 07/13/06 THE VEHICLE STALLED UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE CRUISING 55 MPH ON A DRY AND FLAT ROAD SURFACE. THERE WERE NO WARNINGS PRIOR TO THE THREE INCIDENTS. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND CONTACTED THE DEALER. THE ENGINE RESTARTED WITH NO DELAY AFTER ALL 3 INCIDENTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON 07/13/06 WHO COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER HAS ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE 3 TIMES BUT COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WAS EQUIPPED WITH AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION.

TOOK NEW CAR IN FOR THE FIRST OIL CHANGE. DROVE 30+ MILES AND THE ENGINE DISINTEGRATED REQUIRING A TOTAL ENGINE REPLACEMENT. DEALER DENIES ANY WRONGDOING AND BLAMES IT ON A MANUFACTURING DEFECT FROM CHRYSLER. THIS IS A NEW JEEP COMMANDER 4.7L 2006 VEHICLE. *NM
