HAVE TAKEN TO DEALER IN CINCINNATI,NORTHGATE AND THEY RESET COMPUTER BUT BEFORE WE COULD LEAVE THE BAY AREA IT STARTED MAKING A GRINDING NOISE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS BACK ON. THEY SAY THE ARE GOING TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION GUY LOOK AT IT AND GET BACK TO US. I READ HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON YOUR SITE AND THE MAJORITY OF THEM ARE DESCRIBING PROBLEMS THAT ARE VERY SIMILAR OVER THE LAST 3 YEARS. DON'T YOU HAVE ENOUGH COMPLAINTS ON THIS THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD BE DOING A RECALL? AFTER ALL THE GOVERNMENT IS NOW DEEPLY INVESTED IN CHRYSLER. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 JEEP LIMITED COMMANDER. I BOUGHT NEW. IN LESS THAN 9,000 MILES I HAD THE CAR IN THE SHOP 3 TIMES FOR TRANSMISSION ISSUES. THEN IN JULY 2007 THE TRANSFER CASE HAD TO BE REPLACED, STALLING MY FAMILY IN THE MIDDLE OF HWY 71 GOING 65 MPH. AFTER THAT THE HARD SHIFTING CONTINUED AND I TOOK TO SHOP THREE OTHER TIMES. ALL THAT WAS SAID IS CAN'T DUPLICATE PROBLEM. YESTERDAY WITH 41K MILES ON THE CAR, ALL OF THE GAUGES WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING. NO TAC, NO SPEED, AC WENT OUT. VERY BAD AND VERY DANGEROUS. JEEP KNOWS ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND WILL NOT FIX PROPERLY. *TR

BOUGHT VEHICLE 3/31/06 NEW NOW HAS 60,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE HAS HAD NUMEROUS INSTANCES WITH STALLING WHILE DRIVING. ALL THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS WILL LIGHT UP AND HEADLIGHTS WILL SWITCH ON/OFF TO HIGH BEAMS ON THEIR OWN. WILL LOSE POWERSTEERING AND THERE SEEMS TO BE A CHANGE IN ACCELERATION. ON MARCH 20TH I WAS TRAVELING AT APPROX 30 MILES PER HOUR AND LOST POWER BUT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS DID NOT GO OFF AS USUAL. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND PARKED VEHICLE.

WHILE MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE THERE IS NOT POWER. THERE IS BOXES AROUND ALL GEARS (PRND). THE DISPLAY FLASH "SERVICE PARK ASSIST". THEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. CALLED CHRYSLER SAID TO TAKE TO DEALER AND FIND OUT WHAT THE REPAIR WILL BE. DEALER SAID IT WAS A U0404 CODE INVALID DATA RECEIVED FROM GEAR SHIFT CONTROL MODULE AND A P0700 CODE TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM. THIS MODULE IS $700 AND CHRYSLER SAID IT WAS HELPING ME OUT AND DOING ME A FAVOR BY LETTING ME JUST PAY $200. I HAVE FOUND THIS EXACT PROBLEM MENTIONED ON MULTIPLE JEEP FORUM SITES. MY PARENTS HAVE REPLACED THE SAME PART AND MY BROTHER IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS NOW. I'VE TALKED WITH CHRYSLER ASKING WHY I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A PART THAT IS MALFUNCTIONING IN A UNSAFE MANNER AND WAS TOLD IT HASN'T BEEN RECALLED YET....

MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER STALLS. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE 2 MONTHS AGO AND THE JEEP HAS STALLED AROUND 10 TIMES TO DATE. I TOOK THE COMMANDER TO BARTON JEEP HERE IN SPOKANE...THEY SAID THEY "FLASHED" THE COMPUTER. THEY SAID THIS SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. NOPE! STALLED 3 TIMES IN THE LAST WEEK (WHICH IS WHEN WE GOT THE JEEP BACK FROM BARTON JEEP). MY CONCERN IS THAT MY WIFE COULD GET INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT IF THE VEHICLE DECIDES TO STALL ON THE FREEWAY OR SOMEWHERE ELSE. PLEASE HELP ME! *TR

I BOUGHT THE 2006 COMMANDER USED IN AUGUST OF 2007 WITH 13,000 MILES ON IT. IT RAN GREAT, NO COMPLAINTS. IN THE WINTER-TIME, I NOTICED WHEN I STARTED IT AFTER IT HAD BEEN SITTING FOR SEVERAL HOURS, THEN PUT IT IN GEAR, STEPPING ON THE GAS PEDAL WOULD DO NOTHING BUT REV THE ENGINE. A FEW SECONDS LATER IT WOULD KICK INTO GEAR AND GO. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP WHO SAID IT JUST NEEDS TIME TO WARM UP, IT'S WINTER AND THE CAR IS COLD. WHEN SPRING ROLLED AROUND THIS WAS STILL OCCURRING. ONE DAY I WAS TRAVELING DOWN A HILL, HEARD A BIG CLUNK AND THEN THE GEAR SHIFT WOULD ONLY REGISTER 3, 4 AND 5. NO 1 OR 2. I BROUGHT IT IN AND THEY REPLACED THE SOLENOID. THE PROBLEM DIDN'T COME BACK RIGHT AWAY BUT CAME BACK EVENTUALLY. I'VE HAD THE PROBLEM EVER SINCE DECEMBER OF 2007...

WHILE DRIVING, THERE IS A LOUD GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM FRONT DRIVETRAIN(?). VEHICLE BUCKS AND ENGINE SHUTS OFF. ELECTRICAL POWER ALSO SHUTS OFF. THIS IS THE THIRD OCCURRENCE OF SUCH AN INCIDENT, AND ALL THE INFO SUBMITTED HERE PERTAINS TO THIS 3RD INCIDENT. *TR

ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS REFERENCE ODI COMPLAINT #10244597. RECEIVED CAR BACK FROM DEALERSHIP RAN FINE FOR TWO WEEKS. THE CAR IS NOW STALLING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 40 MPH NEAR OUR HOME. THANK GOD I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THEN THE PARK ASSIST SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON AND WENT OFF AGAIN. I GOT THE CAR HOME. MY HUSBAND TOOK IT OUT. THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING AND NOT SHIFTING INTO HIGHER GEAR. TODAY TAKING THE KIDS TO THE BUS IT STALLED AGAIN. WHEN I WAS ABLE TO RESTART, I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS AND THE CAR HESITATE, ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE PRETTY MUCH DECIDED ON VOLUNTARY REPOSSESSION, AS MY KIDS ARE WORTH MORE THAN THE DEFICIENT BALANCE. *TR

MY TRUCK HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING "EXTREME IDLING" AFTER THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) WAS RE-PROGRAMMED 2 MONTHS AGO. MY TRUCK REVS UP AND DOWN VERY FAST, SO MUCH, WHILE IN PARK, OR STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT, THAT IT IS CAUSING MY TRUCK TO BURN ALOT OF GAS FASTER. I STILL EXPERIENCE MY TRUCK STALLING WHILE MAKING TURNS, WHICH COMPLETELY TURNS OFF THE TRUCK'S POWER, WHICH CAUSES ME TO LOSE CONTROL STEERING. *TR

THIS IS AN UPDATE OF MY PREVIOUS POST. MY 2006 3.7 LITER COMMANDER 4X4 HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER SINCE MONDAY THE 7TH.

AFTER...

I BOUGHT MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER IN 2006 AS A DEMO WITH 18,000 MILES ON IT. I REALLY DIDN'T DRIVE IT THAT MUCH AS YOU CAN TELL BY THE MILEAGE ON IT AND IT HAS ONLY HAD THREE OIL CHANGES. WHEN IT REACHED ABOUT 20,000 MILES IT STALLED ON MY WAY TO WORK AND I CALLED AND SPOKE TO A TECH WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR, HE TOLD ME THAT I HAD PROBABLY GOTTEN SOME BAD GAS. THEN TWO WEEKS AGO IT STALLED AGAIN AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON FOR A DAY, THEN IT WENT OUT. IT CAME ON AGAIN AND STAYED ON AND IT CONTINUED TO STAY ON, AND "SERVICE PARK ASSIST" DISPLAYED ON THE DASH. THE DEALER WHERE WE BOUGHT THE CAR IS 20 MILES FROM WHERE WE LIVE SO I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A DODGE DEALER ABOUT 3 MILES FROM MY HOME. ON MONDAY JULY...

STRANGE NOISE COMING FROM MY CAR THAT SOUNDED LIKE PLAYING CARDS IN BIKE TIRES ENDED WITH REPLACING FRONT AXEL RING AND PINION. CAR KEPT POPPING OUT OF GEAR THE ENTIRE GEAR SHIFT WAS REPLACED. MY PASSENGER WINDOW HAD TO BE FIXED IT KEPT STICKING HALFWAY UP. I HAD A PROBLEM WHERE MY CAR KEPT STALLING. I WAS TOLD THE FIRST TIME THAT NO ERROR APPEARS ON THE COMPUTER AND JEEP KNEW OF NO ISSUE WITH CARS STALLING SO MAYBE IT WAS BAD GAS.

I WON A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER AND HAD SOME MAJOR PROBLEMS, MOST NOTIABLY TRANSMISSION FAILURES AND STALLING WHILE DRIVING. THE PROBLEM HAD PICKED UP. JEEP DENIED THERE WAS A PROBLEM., BUT THE DEALERSHIP STAFF WAS SEEING THIS ALOT. LAST WEEK I WAS DRIVING WITH MY FAMILY ON A WINDING ROAD IN THE MOUNTAINS WITH A BOAT IN TOW AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THANKFULLY, I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE AND NOT GO OVER THE EDGE. THEN, TODAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN IN TRAFFIC AT 40 MPH. I HAD TO PUT IN NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING AND RESTART. PLEASE DO SOMETHING. THE DEALER WOULD NOT HELP, AND SAID IT WA S JEEP'S PROBLEM. THE JEEP REPRESENTATIVE STATED THEY DO NOT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH STALLING. *AK

FROM NEW, I HAVE NOTED AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION OF MY COMMANDER WHEN STOPPED ON AN INCLINE. THE VEHICLE DRIFTS BACKWARD UNLESS YOU APPLY THE BRAKE. SEVERAL TIMES I HAVE LEFT IT DRIFT A FOOT OR SO TO SEE IF IT WOULD STOP DRIFTING, BUT IT WAS USUALLY NOT SAFE TO LET IT CONTINUE. OBVIOUSLY APPLYING THE BRAKE IS THE NORMAL THING YOU WOULD DO WHEN STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN OR TRAFFIC LIGHT ANYWAY, SO I DIDN'T CONSIDER IT A REAL PROBLEM. I REPORTED IT TO MY DEALERSHIP, AND THEY CHECKED THE TCM FOR ANY ERRORS OR PROBLEMS, CLAIMING THEY FOUND NONE. I ASKED IF THEY COULD PLEASE CHECK IT AGAIN, TEST DRIVE IT, ETC., AND THEY REPORTED THAT AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION INTO SERVICE BULLETINS OR ISSUES THEY SAW A RECOMMENDATION BASED ON A NUMBER THEY FOUND ON THE TRANSMISSION OR TCM THAT A "FLASH" OF THE TCM...

AT APPROX 29K MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER BEGAN ACTING LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL OUT WHILE THE ENGINE IDLED WHETHER IN PARK OR DRIVE.
