THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

OUR JEEP DOESN'T STAY IN GEAR, TO BACK UP OUT OF DRIVEWAY MUST GO FROM REVERSE TO NEUTRAL SEVERAL TIMES TO ENGAGE. ALSO WILL SLIP FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY, MANY, TIMES THAT OUR JEEP DOESN'T KNOW IT IS IN PARK OR NEUTRAL AND WILL NOT START UNTIL YOU MESS FOR ALONG TIME WITH SHIFTER. CONTACT WAS MADE WITH DEALERS IN AREA AND THEY STATE OUR VIN. ISN'T PART OF RECALL. WHEN DRIVING OUR JEEP HAS PUT ITSELF INTO NEUTRAL BUT SHIFTER IS IN DRIVE POSITION... PLEASE HELP US.. *TR

AT ANY SPEED, ANYTIME, COLD OR HOT, THE VEHICLE WILL PRODUCE A MESSAGE ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER INFORMATION CENTER STATING " TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP ". THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO THE MECHANIC TWO TIMES ALREADY AND CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THIS MESSAGE WILL DISPLAY ON A COOL MORNING UPON START UP OR AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN RUNNING FOR SOME TIME. THE MESSAGE WILL NOT STAY ON LONGER THAN A FEW MINUTES, THEN WILL TURN OFF. A TON OF RESEARCH HAS BEEN DONE AND NO ONE HAS THE ANSWER YET. THE ONLY THING I CAME ACROSS WAS TO REPLACE THE PCM/ECM, SOMEONE STATED THERE WAS A GLITCH WITH THE COMPUTER. MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS RECURRING PROBLEM AND IT CAN'T BE FIXED YET. *TR

FOR NO REASON THE JEEP WOULD JUST DIE, ON THE INTRASTATE, IN TOWN, ANYWHERE, JUST SHUT OFF, THEN AFTER A HOUR OR SO IT WOULD START AGAIN. AFTER BEING IN THE SHOP MANY WEEKS FOR THIS, THE TWO COMPUTERS WERE FOUND TO BE THE PROBLEM. CHANGED THE COMPUTERS, AT THE FEE OF ALMOST $ 2000 AND NO MORE PROBLEMS, WHICH THE MONEY IS NOTHING KNOWING MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER WONT STALL ON THE INTRASTATE AND BE KILLED. CHRYLSER CORP CAN CARE LESS !!!! *TR

HELLO, MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER STARTED STALLING OUT OVER A YEAR AGO AND HAS STALLED ON ME ON AND OFF VARIOUS TIMES AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS BUT USUALLY AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED, WHICH HAS BEEN VERY SCARY. I HAVE CHOSEN NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE ANYMORE AND NOW IT IS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY AND I AM DRIVING A 1991 HONDA BECAUSE I CANNOT AFFORD TO BUY A NEW CAR AT THIS TIME. I JUST PAID THIS JEEP OFF AND NOW I CANNOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER FIXED THE ONE RECALL ON THE VEHICLE CALLED THE FRONT CONTROL MODULE AND IT RAN FINE FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND NOW ONCE AGAIN THE CAR STALLED OUT WHILE I WAS HEADED TO A CAMPING TRIP WITH MY KIDS A COUPLE MONTHS AGO GOING 50 MPH AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I WAS ALMOST HIT BY A SEMI AND SEVERAL...

EVERYTIME I DRIVE MY JEEP IT STALLS AND THE WHEEL LOCKS UP (BASICALLY TURNS INTO MANUAL STEERING) AND MY BRAKES LOCK UP ( NO BRAKES AT ALL) AND I HAD JUST BOUGHT THIS JEEP A WK GO FROM MCGEE CHEVROLET IN RAYNHAM MA. THE FIRST NIGHT I DROVE IT HOME IT STALLED PULLING IN TO THE DRIVEWAY. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT MORNING TO TELL THEM AND THEY WOULDN'T TAKE THE JEEP TIL THE FOLLOWING WK TO LOOK AT IT THEY CAME UP WITH EVERY EXCUSE IN THE WORLD. WHEN I BROUGHT THE JEEP IN TODAY THEY HAD ME SIGN A DEDUCTIBLE OF 100 DOLLARS BUT YET WHEN I FIRST TEST DROVE THE JEEP IT I TOLD THEM TO FIX IT BUT ALL THEY DID WAS CLEARED THE CODES (FLASHED THE COMPUTER) NOW I HAVE A REJECTION STICKER ON THE VEHICLE AND NO CAR. *TR

BRAKING TO APPROACH A RED LIGHT AT AN INTERSECTION THE BRAKES FELT MUSHY FOLLOWED BY COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. I WAS STOPPED IN THE INSIDE LANE OF A 4-LANE HWY AT AN INTERSECTION WITHOUT POWER!. AFTER A MOMENT OF PANIC....THANK HEAVENS NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC BEHIND ME....I PUT THE CAR INTO PARK AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE. I TRAVELED TWO BLOCKS TO WHERE I COULD SAFELY EXIT THE HWY AND PARK. AFTER A FEW MINUTES WHILE I CALMED DOWN I PROCEEDED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO MY HOME. SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE TRIED TO GET THE VEHICLE IN FOR A CHECK BUT CANNOT GET AN APPOINTMENT UNTIL AUGUST. IT HAS BEEN A FEW DAYS AND I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO USE THE VEHICLE. I HAVE NOTED SOME MISSING AND HESITATING FROM TIME TO TIME BUT NOT COMPLETE FAILURE. HOWEVER, I WOULD NOT TAKE THIS VEHICLE ON AN OPEN HWY AS...

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE 2/15/14 THREE WEEKS LATER WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY THE GAUGES JUST CAME ON AND KEPT FLASHING IT CONTINUED FOR THE DURATION OF MY DRIVE. ONCE I GOT TO WORK AND PUT IT IN PARK AND TURN IT OFF AND RESTARTED IT NOTHING HAPPENED. SO 8.5 TO 9 HRS LATER BACK ON THE HIGHWAY IT DOES IT AGAIN THIS TIME JUST FLASHED 3 TIMES.

MY JEEP HAD AN N23 RECALL PERFORMED AT PARK JEEP IN BURNSVILLE, MN. AFTER THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED, THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM LOW RANGE BECAME INOPERABLE. A MESSAGE APPEARS ON THE DASH: 'SERVICE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE'. I NOTIFIED THE DEALER ABOUT HIS ISSUE. THEY PERFORMED SOME REPROGRAMMING THAT THEY SAID WOULD FIX THE ISSUE. THIS REPROGRAMMING DID NOT WORK, AS THE ISSUE HAS RETURNED, AND MY FOUR WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM IS NOT OPERATING AS EXPECTED. I NOTIFIED JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE, AND THEY HAVE NO SOLUTION FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALER HAS NO SOLUTION FOR THIS PROBLEM. ABOUT 500,000 GRAND CHEROKEES AND COMMANDERS THAT HAVE THIS FOUR WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM ARE AFFECTED. NO ONE CAN GUARANTEE THAT IT WILL NOT AFFECT NORMAL OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE. AND NO ONE KNOWS WHAT THE SYSTEM CAN DO IN TRAFFIC ON IT'S OWN WITHOUT WARNING TO THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE. THE N23...

I TOOK MY CAR TO THE RECALL TO GET THE REFLASH IN MAY OF LAST YEAR. WHEN THE WINTER CAME I TRIED USING MY 4 WHEEL DRIVE AND THE "SERVICE 4 WHEEL DRIVE" ERROR. FIX THIS! *TR

I HAD THE N23 UPDATE DONE AND NOW I DO NOT HAVE 4 WHEEL DRIVE - THANKS CHRYSLER ANOTHER SCREW UP AND YOU WON'T FIX IT. *TR

AT STARTUP VEHICLE INFO CENTER SHOWS SERVICE 4WD SYSTEM. VEHICLE WON'T SHIFT INTO 4WD LOW RANGE IF ATTEMPTED SERVICE 4WD MESSAGE COME ON AND STAYS ON UNTIL VEHICLE IS SHUT OFF. RECALL N23 WAS PERFORMED AND NOW CODES HAD SET STOPPING TRANSFER CASE OPERATION. CODES C1405 AND C140F CLEARED BY DEALER AND CLAIM IT IS FIXED. DEALER CHARGED FOR THIS SERVICE. *JS

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A NEIGHBORHOOD STREET AND RE-ADJUSTED MY SEATING POSITION. WHILE DRIVING, MY KNEE SLIGHTLY BUMPED THE KEY AND TURNED OFF MY CAR WHILE IT WAS IN DRIVE. I THEN LOST POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. LUCKILY I WAS MOVING SLOWLY AND COULD PULL OVER AND STOP THE CAR. I THEN TESTED IT AGAIN IN A PARKING LOT AND I DETERMINED THAT MY JEEP SHUTS OFF EVERY TIME I MOVE THE KEY WITH MY KNEE, EVEN WHILE DRIVING. POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

DRIVING NORTH FROM DETROIT WITH MY UNCLE,PASSING A SEMI ON I 75 AT ABOUT 70-75. THE ENGINE JUST QUIT,LIKESOME TURNED THE KEY OFF. GOT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD,PUT VEC. IN PARK STARTED BACK UP DROVE HOME. TOOK JEEP TO AL SERRA,S THE 29 TH GOT IT BACK 6/2/14 FOUND NO REASON WHY IT SHUT DOWN. JUNE 15 TH WHEN DRIVING ON BRISTOL ROAD AT 45 MPH IT QUIT AGAIN,TOOK IT BACK TO AL SERRA,S 2DAYS LATER GOT IT BACK,STILL COULDN'T FIND CAUSE. *TR

WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THE CAR I HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR IT WOULD SLOW ALL THE WAY DOWN ON THE FREEWAY.THEY WOULD ALWAYS TELL ME IT WAS NOTHING. THE LAST TIME I TOOK IT TO THEM THEY SAID IT WAS THE GEAR, ONLY BECAUSE I PURCHASED A WARRANTY. WHEN I GO UP A HILL OR TURN MY CAR STILL SLOWS DOWN. I'VE BEEN PAYING FOR A CAR THAT HAS NEVER OPERATED CORRECTLY AND I CAN NOT AFFORD TO JUST GET ANOTHER ONE IT CHEAPER TO JUST PAY THE NOTE. *TR

I FORGOT ABOUT THE RECALL THAT WAS ON IT WITH THE FINAL DRIVE CONTROLLER MODULE I HAD CALLED THE JEEP DEALER TO TELL THEM THAT WERE I LIVE THEY DON'T HAVE THE PROPER SOFTWARE TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR IN ANY SHOP. I LIVE ON THE ISLAND OF KODIAK AK. THEY SAID THEY WERE WORKING ON GETTING THIS SOFTWARE TO A REPAIR SHOP HERE HOWEVER, AFTER I DIDN'T HEAR FROM THEM FOR SIX MONTHS I CALLED BACK AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY COULDN'T HELP ME AND I HAD TO...

THIS VEHICLE HAS NUMEROUS RECALLS RELATED TO ALL THE PROBLEMS OUR JEEP HAS. THERE IS 0 RECALL FOR OUR VIN. THE VEHICLE SURGES WHEN DRIVING UP HILLS. THE CAR WON'T START SOMETIMES BECAUSE THE SHIFTER CONTROL THINKS IT IS IN DRIVE WHEN IT IS IN PARK. THE CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK AND THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE KICKS IN WHEN DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS AND JUMPS THE CAR.

I IMMEDIATELY GOT OFF THE EXPRESSWAY AND SLOWED DOWN. THAT SEEMED TO HELP THE SOUND GO AWAY.WHEN I DRIVE TO WORK IN THE MORNING, I ONLY DRIVE 35 MPH AND I CAN HERE THE SOUND ALSO AND WHEN I LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR THE SOUND STOPS, BUT CONTINUES WHEN I PRESS ON THE GAS. PLS NOTIFY ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE WITH ANY HELPFUL INFORMATION AS I DO DRIVE WITH LITTLE CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. I WILL TAKE THE CAR TO THE JEEP DEALER TO GET CHECKED OUT.

I PURCHASED MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER FROM CITY AUTO IN MEMPHIS, TN ON 9/14/11 AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A ONE-OWNER VEHICLE ORIGINATING FROM THE STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA. I NOTICED HESITATION IN THE TRANSMISSION AND VARIANCES (ROUGH - UP AND DOWN) IN THE IDLING SHORTLY AFTER MY PURCHASE. I THEN STARTED TO GET THE "TRANSMISSION/ENGINE" LIGHT COMING ON. BUT IT WOULD GO AWAY ALMOST AS QUICK AS IT WOULD COME ON. I THEN HAD MY ENGINE STALL WHILE DRIVING FULL SPEED ON THE INTERSTATE. I LOST ALL POWER! FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO GET OVER TO THE SHOULDER SAFELY! WE IMMEDIATELY STARTED DOING SOME RESEARCH ON VARIOUS FORUMS, INCLUDING JEEP FORUM, ON THE "STALLING ISSUE" AND "LIGHTS COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY". MY HUSBAND TOOK IT TO OUR LOCAL AUTOZONE AND THEY HOOKED IT UP TO THEIR CODING SCANNER MACHINE. IT GAVE US THE CODE TO CHANGE THE MAP SENSOR NEEDED TO...

AFTER RECALL N23 I LOST MY 4 LOW RANGE. *TR

BOUGHT CAR USED AT A DEALERSHIP, BUT WAS NOT TOLD OF RECALLS OR ISSUES. CAR STALLED ON ME TWICE, ONCE IN TRAFFIC APPROACHING A LIGHT AND ANOTHER IN A PARKING LOT TURNING LEFT TO WEAVE OUT OF LOT. THE 4 WHEEL LOW WAS RECALLED AND CHECKED, BUT PROBLEM PERSIST. THE ENGINE HESITATES WHILE DRIVING, LITTLE STUMBLES AND SHAKES WHILE ACCELERATING. WHILE IN PARK, WEIRD SOUND IS HEARD FROM LIGHT REV. I HAVE HAD CAR FOR LESS THAN 3 DAYS AND PROBLEMS OCCURRED. I HAVE A 2 TON PAPER WEIGHT AT THE MOMENT AS I FEEL IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I NOW HAVE A DECENT SIZE TRANSMISSION LEAK AFTER I PARK FROM SHORT DRIVES. I HAVE BUT MAYBE 250 MILES ON IT. I HAVE HEARD OF THE 4.7 HAVING SOME OF THESE ISSUES AND A RECALL HAS BEEN DONE, BUT NOT FOR THE 5.7L HEMI'S. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS...

HAD THE N23 RECALL AND AFTER WORDS THE 4 LO WILL NOT WORK TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CHECKED IT OUT AND FOUND A CODE C140F CLEARED THE CODE AND WORKED ONCE AND GOT THE SERVICE 4LO SYSTEM . CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SEED THIS IS THE FIRST THAT THEY HEADER OF IT AND THEY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP MADE A APPOINTMENT TOOK IT BACK IN AND THEY SEED THAT THE ACTUATOR WENT OUT BUT IT WORKED BEFORE THE N23 WAS DONE AND THAT TIME THEY CHARGED ME AND IT STILL DOSE NOT WORK THEY WON'T ME TO BUY A NEW ACTUATOR BUT I THINK IT SHOULD BE CHRYSLER THAT SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE ACTUATOR. *TR

THE FOLLOWING HAPPENED ONLY AFTER RECALL. RESEARCH SEEMS TO INDICATE IT IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO RECALL. BRIEF DISPLAY OF "SERVICE 4 WHEEL DRIVE" AFTER RECALL N23/NHTSA 13V-175. IT WENT OUT THEN ON FEBRUARY 3, 2014 IT DISPLAYED SAME MESSAGE AGAIN REPEATEDLY. ON FEBRUARY 17, 2014 I TRIED TO PUT VEHICLE IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE NEUTRAL AND IT WOULD NOT SHIFT ONLY DISPLAYED "SERVICE 4 WHEEL DRIVE". AS I DO NOT USE THIS SYSTEM WEEKLY DURING TIMES OF BAD WEATHER (I STAY HOME) I WAS NOT AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. I BELIEVED THAT THE SERVICE REMINDER MESSAGE WAS FOR THE FLUID CHANGE THAT HAD BEEN DONE AT TIME OF THE RECALL AT MY EXPENSE AND JUST HAD NOT BEEN PROPERLY RESET. I WAS UNAWARE IT WAS A WARNING OF SYSTEM FAILURE. *TR

OCTOBER, 2013 RECEIVED NOTIFICATION THAT THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL ON MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. (AS I HAVE TWO YOUNG CHILDREN, THIS WAS A PRIORITY TO HAVE FIXED) I BROUGHT MY JEEP INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE N23 SAFETY RECALL PERFORMED. COME JANUARY, 2014 WITH A FEW INCHES OF SNOW ON THE GROUND I ATTEMPT TO ACTIVATE MY 4 WHEEL LOW AND I GET A SERVICE LIGHT STATING "SERVICE 4WD". I CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP WHO HAD PERFORMED THE RECALL AND BRING IT IN TO BE LOOKED AT. THEY RUN A DIAGNOSIS AND DETERMINE THE TRUCK HAS AN INTERNAL SHORT IN THE TRANSFER CASE. THE SERVICE TECH ADVISED ME IT IS RELATED TO THE RECALL BUT HE CAN NOT DO ANYTHING AT THE DEALER LEVEL. I NEED TO CALL CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE WHO TELLS ME THEY WILL NOT BE DOING ANYTHING TO HELP. UPON A LITTLE RESEARCH (JEEP FORUMS) IT...

AS WITH MANY OTHERS, I HAVE A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. OWNED IT FOR A YEAR AND NO PROBLEMS. ASIDE FROM THE OLD ISSUES OF WHICH WERE AN EASY FIX. (I.E. LEAKING SUNROOF). I WENT IN FOR THE MOST RECENT RECALL, I FIGURED SURE, WHY NOT, I FIXED EVERYTHING AND ITS RUNNING GREAT! MY MISTAKE! I NOW HAVE POWER TRAIN ISSUES. GEAR NOT SHIFTING RIGHT. ONE TIME STAYED IN 3RD UNTIL I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND ON AGAIN. STAYS IN GEAR TOO LONG BEFORE SHIFT SHOULD OCCUR AND THEN 'BUCK'S INTO THE GEAR. SAME FOR WHEN STOPPING, DOES NOT SHIFT DOWN CORRECTLY AND WILL STALE WHEN I FINALLY COME TO A STOP. WHY THE RECALL! I SHOULD HAVE LEFT WHEEL ENOUGH ALONE! TERRIBLE! I STILL LOVE MY JEEP, BUT I FEAR THIS "FREE' FIX FOR THE RECALL IS NOW GOING TO COST ME THOUSANDS.... *TR

06 COMMANDER. STARTED UP VEHICLE AND LET IT WARM UP , PUT IT IN DRIVE AND NOTHING, TRIED REVERSE, STILL NOTHING, IT HAS JUST AROUND 115000MI ON IT. STARTED MY ONLINE RESEARCH AND FOUND THERE IS MORE ISSUES . I'VE HAD IT STALL TWICE AT A STOP LIGHT. IDLE FLUCTUATES AT TIMES AT STOP LIGHT. AND DELAY WHEN PUTTING CAR IN DRIVE ON OCCASION. THESE ARE THE ONLY ISSUES I'VE HAD , BESIDES BROKEN EXHAUST STUDS.AND NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR PARTS. ALL TRANNY FLUIDS AND FILTER WERE CHANGED AT 65000 MI ALONG WITH DIFF FLUIDS AND TRANSFER CASE FLUIDS. ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY JEEP UP UNTIL THESE ISSUES. WE'LL SEE WHAT MY MECHANIC MAKES OF ALL OF THIS SOON . I PREY IT'S NOTHING TO MAJOR. *TR

THE TRANSFER CASE MOTOR/ACTUATOR WILL NOT SHIFT AFTER DEALER PERFORMED N23 RECALL ON THE FINAL DRIVE CONTROLLER. *TR

I HAD THE JEEP N23 RECALL DONE LAST AUGUST ON MY COMMANDER. AFTERWARDS I HAD A SERVICE LIGHT AND 4WD LO DIDN'T ENGAGE. I RETURNED TO THE DEALER TO REDO THE RECALL 2 MORE VISITS. AFTERWARD THE LAST RECALL ATTEMPT MY DEALER CHANGED THE T/CASE ACTUATOR. THIS FIXED IT FOR 2 MONTHS BEFORE THE PROBLEM RETURNED. WE PAID GOOD MONEY FOR THESE VEHICLES, AND THEY SHOULD WORK AS THEY DID WHEN WE BOUGHT THEM. JEEP DOESN'T ACKNOWLEDGE ANY PROBLEMS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT AROUND 30MPH THE VEHICLE GETS STUCK IN 3RD GEAR. DRIVER HAS TO PARK TURN IN OFF AND START AGAIN. SOME TIMES VEHICLE WILL STALL JUST AFTER START SOME TIMES IT WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING AT LOWER SPEEDS (LESS THAN 20MPH). *TR

THERE WAS A RECALL FOR A SOFTWARE UPDATE. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN AND RECEIVED THE SERVICE IN SEPTEMBER 2013. WHEN I WENT TO USE THE 4WD, IT WOULD NOT ACTIVATE SO I BROUGHT IT IN FOR SERVICE AND I DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM RELATED TO THE SOFTWARE UPDATE. I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR CLOSE TO FOUR WEEKS BECAUSE THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. CHRYSLER UPDATED SOMETHING THAT EFFECTED THE REST OF THE ELECTRONIC CONTROLS AND THEY DIDN'T TEST IT OUT FIRST. IT HAS COST ME THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS AND THE CAR IS STILL NOT FIXED YET. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY JEEP WILL GO FROM D TO N. IT WILL PLACE A BOX AROUND ALL GEARS AND I WILL BE IN NEUTRAL. IT TYPICALLY HAPPENS WHEN I FIRST TAKE OFF OR WHEN I STOP AT A LIGHT OR A STOP SIGN. WHEN I FIRST TAKE OFF IT WILL REV REALLY HIGH AND NOT SHIFT DOWN AUTOMATICALLY LIKE IT SHOULD, WHEN I TAKE MY FOOT OF THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR JOLTS AND I'M IN NEUTRAL, I HAVE TO PHYSICALLY PUT IT IN NEUTRAL OR PARK IN ORDER FOR IT TO GO BACK TO DRIVE. WHEN I STOP AT A RED LIGHT IT JOLTS AND NOW IS IN NEUTRAL AND AGAIN I HAVE TO EITHER PUT IT IN PARK OR NEUTRAL IN ORDER FOR IT TO GO BACK INTO DRIVE. I HAVE CONTACTED JEEP BECAUSE THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM, HOWEVER THE PART THAT IS ON MY...

2006 JEEP COMMANDER 4.7L V8 STALLS WHEN COMING TO A STOP. MULTIPLE INSTANCES (OVER 12) BETWEEN THE FIRST OCCURRENCE APPROXIMATELY MID DECEMBER 2013 AND TODAY 11 JANUARY 2014. ALL STALLS HAPPENED WHEN COMING TO A STOP EXCEPT FOR ONE INSTANCE WHEN IT STALLED WHILE IN REVERSE. A DROP IN RMPS AND LIGHTING/INSTRUMENT FAILURE ACCOMPANIES THE STALL. CHRYSLER'S RECALL N32 WAS COMPLETED OCTOBER 2013. VEHICLE HAS BEEN OWNED SINCE EARLY 2011 WITH NO STALLING OF THIS TYPE HAVING OCCURRED PRIOR TO THIS. NO INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATION (E.G. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT) ACCOMPANIES THE STALL. VEHICLE RESTARTED ON ALL OCCASIONS AFTER SHIFTING TO PARK OR NEUTRAL. *TR

I HAD THE N-23 RECALL COMPLETED. CURRENTLY STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH MY 4 WHEEL DRIVE. *TR

CHRYSLER RELEASED THE N23 RECALL TO UPDATE THE FINAL DRIVE CONTROLLER, THIS UPDATE HAS AFFECTED THE TRANSFER CASE MOTOR FUNCTION. MY 2006 COMMANDER HAS HAD A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE AND CANNOT BE FIXED. THE JEEP DEALER INFORMED ME THAT CHRYSLER HAS PULLED ALL THE REPLACEMENT PARTS FROM THE SUPPLY SYSTEM (TRANSFER CASE MOTOR) AND THERE IS NO TIMELINE FOR AVAILABILITY. THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE PARTS TO FIX, NOR AFTERMARKET OPTION. MY CAR IS WORTHLESS NOW! *TR

I AM WRITING THIS BECAUSE I RECEIVED A RECALL (N26) FOR MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. I TOOK MY CAR IN TO GET THE RECALL FIXED TO HUNTINGTON BEACH JEEP OFF BEACH BLVD. ON NOV. 7TH 2013 AND THEY DID THE SERVICE, BUT EVER SINCE THEY "FIXED" THE RECALL MY CAR HAS NOW BEEN SAYING ?SERVICE 4WD? AND NOT SHIFTING INTO 4WD. I TOOK THE CAR BACK INTO HUNTINGTON BEACH JEEP ON JAN 7TH 2014 AND I THOUGHT IT COULD BE AN EASY FIX BUT I GOT A CALL SAYING IT COULD BE THE ?MAIN TRANSFER CASE? AND ONCE THAT IS FIXED IT COULD ALSO BE THE FRONT AND/OR REAR TRANSFER CASES AS WELL. THEY RECOMMENDED I START OFF WITH REPLACING THE MAIN TRANSFER CASE AND THEN GO FROM THERE WHICH WOULD COST ME AROUND $800+. SO SINCE ALL MY CAR NEEDS ALL THESE PARTS REPLACED, I STARTED BECOMING VERY CONCERNED...

HAD RECALL N23 PERFORMED IN OCTOBER. DURING LAST SNOW STORM WENT TO USE 4LO AND GOT A "SERVICE 4WHEEL" AND 4LO WOULD NOT ENGAGE. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON JEEP FORUMS FOUND THIS TO BE A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH MANY FOLKS WHO HAVE THIS RECALL/RE-FLASH DONE ON THE FINAL DRIVE. *TR

MY JEEP HAS BEEN HAVING ISSUES WHERE I WILL BE DRIVING AND SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM COMES ON DASH BOARD AND ON THE PRND BOXES COME AROUND IT AND THE CAR STALES. IF I TRY TO GO THE CAR WON'T GO BUT RPM GO UP. THE ONLY WAY I GO IS I TO PUT IT IN PARK THEN BACK IN DRIVE MANY TIMES I HAVE TO PUT HAZARD LIGHTS ON SO THAT I DON'T GET REAR ENDED. SOMETIMES WHEN YOU GO INTO DRIVE IT WILL JERK AND THEN YOU WILL SEE THE BOXES AROUND THE PRND THAT'S WHEN I HAVE TO SHIFT BACK INTO PARK WAIT FOR BOXES TO GO OFF THEN DRIVE. THERE IS ALSO ORANGE LIGHT ON DASH THAT COMES ON. TOOK TO REPAIR SHOP AND CODE WAS READING U0404. THIS PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE AND DOING IT ALL THE TIME WHILE DRIVING I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE...
