2007 JEEP COMMANDER Power Train Problems

THIS CAR LOOSES POWER WITHOUT WARNING... GOES INTO NEUTRAL WITHOUT WARNING... SLOWS DOWN WITHOUT WARNING... I HAVE COMPLAINTS DATED BACK TO 2011... FINALLY A RECALL... BUT THE CHRYSLER JEEP REP SAID BC OF THE TYPE OF TRAC SYSTEM I HAVE IT WON'T APPLY TO ME... I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE BUT HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE UNLESS I WALK! MY VEHICLE IS WITHIN THE SAME YR AS THE RECALL AND HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS... IM FILING A LAWSUIT!!! THEY WON'T BE SATISFIED UNTIL SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED! *TR

VEHICLE KEEPS LOOSING POWER SHIFTS INTO N STATE, PDRN ARE HIGHLIGHTED WITH BOXES AND YOU HAVE TO WIGGLE SHIFTER TO REGAIN POWER. MESSAGE IS: "SERVICE PARK ASSIST". NOT SURE IF THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE THAT THE LATEST RECALL (13V175000) LISTED IS HOWEVER, MY JEEP DOESN'T SEEM TO FALL IN THE MANUFACTURED DATE RANGE SO I AM MAKING A FORMAL COMPLAINT SINCE THIS IS KIND OF LOW MILES TO HAVE THIS KIND OF AN ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND IT IS HAPPENING WITH MY MANUFACTURED DATE VEHICLE. *JB

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS MY CAR HAS STALLED AND ALL GEAR BOXES WILL LIGHT UP WITH A MESSAGE SAYING "SERVICE PARK ASSIST" SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL BEEP AND OTHER TIMES IT WON'T. USUALLY THIS HAPPENS WHEN I AM IN MOTION DRIVING BUT AT TIMES WILL ALSO HAPPEN WHEN FIRST PUTTING IT INTO GEAR. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL ALSO COME ON. I HAVE TRIED TAKING IT IN SEVERAL TIMES BUT THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE IT WILL STOP DOING IT BEFORE I GET TO THE SHOP. SOMETIMES IF I AM STOPPED AT A LIGHT THE CAR WILL SWITCH BACK AND FOURTH FROM STALLING AND THEN BACK INTO GEAR WITHOUT TOUCHING ANYTHING USUALLY TO MAKE THE CAR RETURN TO GEAR YOU HAVE TO PULL OVER AND TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON IT CAN TAKE A COUPLE TIMES OF DOING THIS TO MAKE IT CORRECT. SOMETIMES WHEN IT SWITCHES OUT OF...

THE ENGINE HAS STALLED ON MANY OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AND OTHER ROADS. THIS HAS OCCURRED PROBABLY 20-30 TIMES OVER THE PASSED COUPLE OF YEARS. OCCASIONALLY IT WILL STALL FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN KICK BACK IN, BUT MORE OFTEN I WILL HAVE TO LET THE VEHICLE SLOW DOWN AND COAST TO A STOP IN THE BREAKDOWN LANE IF THERE IS ONE. I THEN PUT ON THE FLASHERS, PUT IT IN PARK, TURN OFF THE KEY, WAIT A FEW SECONDS AND START THE VEHICLE. THIS MAY NOT HAPPEN AGAIN FOR SEVERAL MONTHS OR IT MAY HAPPEN THE NEXT DAY. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND SCARES MY WIFE AND MYSELF HALF TO DEATH. THIS PAST WEEKEND WHILE IN THE PASSING LANE THIS OCCURRED ON THE INTERSTATE WITH LOTS OF TRAFFIC AND WE WERE LUCKY THAT IT DID NOT RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. RESEARCHING ONLINE I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS...

WHILE COASTING AT APPROX 40MPH, VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN, NO DASHBOARD LIGHTS, WHILE ROLLING I SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND AM ABLE TO RE-START VEHICLE. CURRENTLY AT DEALER. THEY CAN'T FIND PROBLEM, NO CODES. ON JEEP FORUMS THIS IS SADLY A POPULAR TOPIC. *TR

THE COMMANDER WAS SLUGGISH ON A TRIP TO FLORIDA, WHEN I WOULD PRESS THE ACCELERATOR, IT WOULD HESITATE AND SPUTTER. THE MONTH BEFORE THIS TRIP, I JUST HAD THE TRANSMISSION SERVICED AT 60K TO KEEP THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY INTACT. SO FIGURED SOMETHING WAS DONE INCORRECTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP AND WE WOULD DEAL WITH IT WHEN WE RETURNED HOME. I WISH WE WOULD HAVE FOUND A REPAIR SHOP IN FL TO LOOK INTO IT AS THE JEEP TURNED OFF ON US GOING 74 MPH ON I-95. WE ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED BY A SEMI. WE DROVE 65 THE REST OF THE WAY HOME AND IT WAS ONE OF THE SCARIEST MOMENTS OF MY LIFE. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY READ THE CODE AND CLEARED THE CODE LIKE THEY DID PREVIOUSLY WHEN IT WOULD DO A HARD DOWNSHIFT WITH A LOVELY CLUNK WHEN COMING TO A STOP....

MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER V-6 IS SHOWING ESP, BAS CODES AS WELL AS DISABLING BACK UP ASSIST, TRACTION CONTROL STAYS OFF, THE ABS LIGHT, AND SOME TIMES IT WONT CLICK INTO GEAR, DRIVE OR REVERSE. AND IT IS MISS FIRING ON CYLINDER NUMBER FOUR. ALSO ALL THE LIGHTS DIM AND FLICKER. *TR

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER WITH 4.7 LITER V8 HAS STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. IT HAS HAPPENED AT IDLE, WHILE SLOWING, WHILE ACCELERATING, AND WHILE DRIVING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS (60-70 MPH). EACH TIME IT HAS RESTARTED AFTER TAKING THE TRANSMISSION OUT OF GEAR, TURNING THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION, AND RESTARTING THE ENGINE. THIS IS POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS IF IT HAPPENS UNDER THE WRONG CIRCUMSTANCES SINCE YOU, OF COURSE, UNEXPECTEDLY LOSE POWER ASSIST ON BOTH BRAKES AND STEERING WHEN THE ENGINE DIES. *TR

VEHICLE STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. WARNING ON DASH STATES "SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM". *TR

VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. MESSAGE ON DASH STATES "TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP". *TR

EACH TIME IT HAS RESTARTED AFTER TAKING THE TRANSMISSION OUT OF GEAR, TURNING THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION, AND RESTARTING THE ENGINE. THIS IS POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS IF IT HAPPENS UNDER THE WRONG CIRCUMSTANCES SINCE YOU, OF COURSE, UNEXPECTEDLY LOSE POWER ASSIST ON BOTH BRAKES AND STEERING WHEN THE ENGINE DIES. THE DEALER CLAIMED TO HAVE FIXED IT ONCE, BUT IT CONTINUED TO STALL. IT HAS NOW BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR 3 WEEKS AND NEITHER THEY NOR THE CHRYSLER ENGINEERS THEY HAVE CONSULTED CLAIM TO HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT IS CHRYSLER NEEDS TO MAKE THIS RIGHT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING AT 55 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED THEN THE VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION POWER AND STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE BUT IT FAILED TO EXCEED 30 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 49,224.

AT VARIOUS TIMES WITHOUT WARNING WE LOSE POWER TO THE MOTOR. CAN NOT ACCELERATE. ENGINE SPUTTERS. HAPPENS FROM DEAD STOP, IDLING, OR WITHOUT WARNING DRIVING IN CITY OR HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. BEEN LOOKED AT BY MULTIPLE MECHANICS WHO ARE STUMPED. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND SOMETIMES FLASHES PLUS ALMOST ALL DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS TURN ON SOMETIMES. THIS HAPPENED WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND THEY WOUND UP CHANGING THE TRANSMISSION. *TR

I HAVE HAD MY 07 JEEP COMMANDER (3.6 V6) SINCE JANUARY 2008. I HAVE NOTICE NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE DRIVING FROM A COMPLETE STOP, THAT MY VEHICLE WILL LOSE POWER AND START TO SPUTTER WHEN I TRY TO APPLY THE GAS AND THE CAR MOVES VERY SLOW AS IN LESS THAN 20MPH. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME NUMEROUS TIMES AND MAKES ME VERY UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING KNOWING THAT MY CAR CAN STOP AND LEAVE ME VULNERABLE TO BEING REAR-ENDED AT INTERSECTIONS OR COMMON STOPS. I NOTICE WHEN THIS HAPPENS THAT MY VEHICLE CLUSTER DISPLAYS "SERVICE PARK ASSIST" AND THE SERVICE PARK ASSIST LIGHT COMES ON UNCONTROLLABLY AND AT THE SAME TIME MY DASH/ CLUSTER ALSO DISPLAYS ( [P][R][N][D] ) ALL AT ONCE AS IF THE VEHICLE DOES NOT KNOW WHAT GEAR IT IS IN. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR A VEHICLE THAT IS SUPPOSED TO PROVIDE A SAFE DRIVING EXPERIENCE. I ALSO...

I PURCHASED MY USED JEEP COMMANDER AND SHORTLY AFTER IT STALLED ON ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I TOOK TURNED THE KEY AND GOT IT TO TURN ON AGAIN, LUCKILY THERE WERE NO CARS BEHIND ME. ANOTHER TIME I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED, AGAIN I WAS LUCKY THE TRAFFIC WAS BACKED UP AND NOT MOVING TOO FAST. BEFORE MY WARRANTY RAN OUT I TOOK IT IN AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WAS NOTHING COMING UP ON THEIR TESTS THAT WAS OF CONCERN. THE NEXT MONTH MY WARRANTY EXPIRED AND I WAS STRANDED AT A STORE. MY JEEP WOULD NOT TURN ON CLAIMING "TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP." IT WAS NOT THE BATTERY. I LEFT IT OVER NIGHT AND WENT BACK THE NEXT DAY AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY JEEP AND SUGGESTED A TRANSMISSION COMPUTER UPDATE. ABOUT A...

WHILE DRIVING MY ASSISTANCE SYSTEM BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON I WAS DRIVING 30MPH AND HAD TO PULL OVER THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT OR GO OVER 30 MPR AT 31,505 MILES ON IT AND THE EMS ELECTRIC TRANSMISSION SHIFT MODULE. HAS TO BE REPLACED. 4 YRS LATER MILEAGE AT 82,000 MILES THE SAME PART HAS TO BE REPLACED.THIS TIME I WAS ON INTERSTATE 94 DRIVING 60MPR AND THE LIGHTS CAME ON I PULLED OFF INTERSTATE AND WHEN I PULLED INTO GAS STATION THE CAR PULLED AND LUNGED I TURNED IT OFF WAITED AND TURNED BACK ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT 30MPR IT WOULD NOT GO PAST 30MPR.

THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME. I AM A MOTHER, WIFE , DAUGHTER. THE BAD THING OF THIS SITUATION IS THAT I HAD THIS REPLACED ONCE BEFORE I HAD 31,505 MILES ON IT AND THE EMS ELECTRIC TRANSMISSION SHIFT MODULE HAD TO BE REPLACED . 4 YRS LATER MILEAGE AT 82,000 MILES THE SAME PART HAS TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND ALL THEY CAN SAY WE ARE SORRY THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO FOR YOU. THIS PART IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND INFORMED THAT THE PART (68021352) WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THIS MALFUNCTIONS HAS CAUSED ME TO NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN MY CAR. I DON'T WANT TO DRIVE MY CAR WITH MY DAUGHTER IN IT. WITH OUT WARNING THIS HAS HAPPENED ONE TO MANY TIMES. THIS PART SHOULD BE RECALLED WHEN I HAD THE VEHICLE SERVICED BACK IN 2008 I PAID 100.00 NOW...

WHILE DRIVING 70MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY, MY CAR SUDDENLY STALLED. I WAS FORCED TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY STOP ON THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY. UNLUCKY FOR ME, WHERE MY CAR DECIDED TO STALL WAS NEAR THE OFF RAMP OF THE HIGHWAY, UNDER A BRIDGE. IT WAS QUITE A DANGEROUS POSITION TO BE IN. THE JEEP DEALERSHIP DECIDED THAT IT WAS A THROTTLE POSITIONING SENSOR. SEVERAL MONTHS LATER AND MY CAR IS RANDOMLY STALLING AGAIN AND THE DEALERSHIP DOES NOT UNDERSTAND WHY. I'VE HAD MY SHIFT ASSEMBLY FULLY REPLACED AS WELL AS A NEW STARTER. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE ISSUES THAT I AM FACING AND WHY SO LITTLE IS KNOWN BY THE JEEP DEALERSHIP WHEN THIS SUV HAS BEEN OUT FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW. *TR

PROBLEM STARTED WITH VEHICLE LOSING POWER ON ACCELERATION FROM DEAD STOP. IT DID THAT TWICE BEFORE THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON AS I WAS PULLING OUT INTO HEAVY TRAFFIC. IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO GARAGE WHICH DETERMINED CODE WERE U0404 (IMPLAUSIBLE DATA RECEIVED FROM ESM), P0607 (ECU INTERNAL PERFORMANCE) AND B1A28 (ECM MISMATCH WITH SKM). DEALERS HAD TWO SHIFTER/ESM ASSEMBLIES IN STOCK. THAT TELLS ME THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AS I HAVE READ ON THE INTERNET THAT IT IS. THIS VEHICLE IS PAMPERED AND ONLY DRIVEN ABOUT 5K PER YEAR, MOSTLY WHEN I GOT TO OUR HUNTING CAMP UP STATE. REPAIR COST $1,130.99. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO PONY UP WITH A RECALL AND FIX THIS ISSUE WITHOUT COST AS WELL AS REIMBURSE THOSE OF US WHO HAVE ALREADY PAID TO HAVE THE DEFECT FIXED. SOMEONE COULD BE INJURED OR KILLED AS A RESULT OF THIS DEFECT. *TR

VEHICLE APPEARED TO HESITATE AND EVENTUALLY STALLED LOOSING POWER. ALL INSTRUMENTATION LIGHTS CAME ON DURING THIS EVENT. DRIVER WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY; PLACE THE CAR IN PARK/NEUTRAL; AND RESTART THE ENGINE. THE SAME EVENT HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 4 OTHER TIMES SINCE THE FIRST AT VARYING SPEED (I.E. 35 TO 65 MPH) AND THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS MAKING THIS A VERY DANGEROUS AND UNPREDICTABLE EVENT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND HE STATED THAT IT COULD BE THE POWER CONTROL MODULE; BUT WAS UNSURE. I'M VERY CONCERNED WITH THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. THE SYMPTOM OF THIS PROBLEM (ENGINE STALL) IS UNPREDICTABLE AND IS A RECIPE FOR A SERIOUS AND LIFE THREATENING ACCIDENT. I'VE REVIEWED HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS REPORTING SIMILAR CONDITIONS. THERE NEEDS TO BE A GLOBAL RECALL ON ALL 2007 JEEP COMMANDERS REPORTING THIS PROBLEM TO HAVE THIS ISSUES...

MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER STALLS DURING LENGTHY TRIPS OF 100 MILES OR MORE AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 50 - 70 MPH. EACH TIME IT STALLED I WAS ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE AND HAD TO DRIFT TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS EARLY SUMMER DURING A TRIP FROM GEORGIA TO LOUISIANA AND IT DID IT AGAIN DURING A SECOND TRIP IN JULY. I THOUGHT MY BATTERY MAY HAVE HAD A BAD CELL AND WAS PROVIDING THE NEEDED POWER TO THE VEHICLE. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH THIS EVENING ONLINE I SEE THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM FOR OTHER COMMANDER OWNERS NATIONWIDE. I PLAN TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER THIS WEEK. *TR

THE SERVICE PARK ASSIST LIGHT WILL COME ON AND THEM ALL THE GEAR INDICATORS ON INSTRUMENT PANEL WILL LIGHT UP AND VEHICLE STALL WHEN DRIVING AND LOSE ALL POWER. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE OF TIMES AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. SCAN CODE ONLY SHOWS ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE (ESM) IS BAD. MY WIFE WAS PULLING ONTO THE HIGHWAY FROM A SIDE ROAD ONE OF THE TIMES THE VEHICLE STALLED AND WAS ALMOST HIT BY SEVERAL CARS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE THEN FUNCTIONED AS NORMAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, WHERE THEY STATED THAT THE POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 100,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

I OWN A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER IT IS ALWAYS OVERHEATING. IT HAS ALSO STALLED OUT AN THE LIGHTING SYSTEM STARTED MALFUNCTIONING BY CUTTING COMPLETELY OFF. ALSO IT WILL SAY IN THE DIGITAL DASH SCREEN THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS OVERHEATING WHEN I START THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TO CUT THE TRUCK OFF IMMEDIATELY AN WHEN I CRANK IT BACK UP IT IS FINE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 37,000.

AS OF JUNE 8TH 2011 I BOUGHT MY JEEP USED WITH APPROXIMATELY 42000 MILES ON IT SOON AFTER IT STARTED HAVING FILLING ISSUES THEN FOR A WHILE THE ISSUE CEASED NOW ABOUT A MONTH BEFORE DATE OF STALL LISTED ABOVE IT STARTED WITH THE SAME FILLING ISSUES EXCEPT WORSE NOW CAUSING IT TO NOT WANT TO SHIFT INTO GEARS AS NORMAL CAR WOULD, KINDA JERKING IN BETWEEN SHIFTS FROM DIFFERENT SPEEDS AND RPM INCREASE AND DECREASE. IT HAS STALLED ON ME TWICE NOW. THE FIRST TIME ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH WITH MY 3 KIDS AND PREGNANT WIFE IN THE CAR CAUSING ALL POWER FUNCTIONS TO BE LOST AND WE ALMOST GOT RAN OVER BY A TRANSFER TRUCK TRYING TO GET TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. I HAD IT LOOK AT AND THE THROTTLE BODY AND INTAKE CLEANED OF CARBON DEPOSITED AND NOW TODAY JUNE 12TH 2012 IT...

BACK IN 2009 THE ESM HAD TO BE CHANGED TWICE AND IT WAS JUST CHANGED AGAIN 3/19/2012 AND HERE IT IS 5/25/2012 AND THIS PART GOES AGAIN (ELECTRIC SHIFT MODULE/UNIT). IT GOES WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ABOUT 45/50MPH ON THE HIGHWAY THE TRUCK JUST STOPPED RUNNING WHEN THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD FLASHED AND WENT OFF(GOOD THING THAT THE ROAD WAS PRETTY CLEAR AT THAT TIME) THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THESE TRUCKS AND JEEP KNOWS ABOUT IT AND REFUSES TO CALL THESES TRUCKS OFF THE ROAD-THERE NEEDS TO BE TOTAL RECALL OF THE JEEP COMMANDEERS AND CHRYSLER/JEEP NEEDS TO BE MADE TO PURCHASE THEM FROM CONSUMERS BUT THEN AGAIN CONSUMERS DON'T HAVE ANY RIGHTS OR SAFETY NETS. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING MY COMMANDER, IT STARTED TO SPUTTER AND SHIFT GEARS ERRATICALLY AND THEN DIED. THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AS I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER I TURNED THE CAR OFF COMPLETELY, I TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR TO CONTINUE TO WORK. AS SOON AS I PUT THE VEHICLE IN GEAR, IT STALLED ONCE AGAIN. ON THE THIRD TRY, I WAS ABLE TO PLACE MY VEHICLE IN GEAR AND COMPLETE MY DRIVE TO WORK BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON. THIS SAME SCENARIO HAS HAPPENED FIVE TIMES SINCE THE ORIGINAL INCIDENT. *JS

WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE, VEHICLE LOST POWER. DASH DISPLAY MESSAGE APPEARED "SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM" AND VEHICLE GEAR DISPLAY INDICATED THE P R N D WERE ALL ILLUMINATED. THE ENGINE STAYED RUNNING BUT WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THE GAS PEDAL, DECELERATING. TURNED ON HAZARD LIGHTS AND PULLED OVER, PLACED VEHICLE IN PARK, SHIFTED TO DRIVE, AND CONTINUED AS NORMAL. A SHORT TIME LATER, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT, AND HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES SINCE THEN AND IN MANY DIFFERENT DRIVING SITUATIONS. FOR EXAMPLE, AFTER PULLING INTO TRAFFIC ON A HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, CAUSING THE TRAFFIC BEHIND TO NEARLY SLAM INTO US. IF ACCELERATION HAD BEEN AVAILABLE AS NORMAL, THIS WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN AN ISSUE. ANOTHER EXAMPLE, THE PROBLEM HAPPENED DURING HEAVY RUSH HOUR INTERSTATE TRAFFIC, CAUSING THE NEED TO CROSS SEVERAL LANES TO REACH A BREAKDOWN LANE. IT...

DRIVING AT 70 MPH ON TOLLWAY AND VEHICLE STALLED AND STEERING WHEEL COLUMN LOCKED UP. THIS HAPPENED TWO DAYS AGO AND IS OCCURRING MORE OFTEN. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL COLUMN LOCKS AS YOU ARE DRIVING. IT HAS HAPPENED FOUR MORE TIMES. I NOW DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE I FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND MY DAUGHTER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND GEAR EXCHANGE SOLENOID NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT PAST SECOND GEAR NOR ACCELERATE OVER 20 MPH. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE ALSO COULD NOT BE DRIVEN IN REVERSE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 58,500. UPDATED 04/19/12*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. JEEP REIMBURSED THE CONSUMER $1000 OF THE $3200 HE SPENT.

VEHICLE STALLS AND DRIVER LOSES COMMAND OF ACCELERATOR, POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. HAPPENS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS BUT OBVIOUSLY MOST DANGEROUS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. WHEN VEHICLE LOSES POWER, ALL GEAR INDICATORS LIGHT UP ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE VEHICLE INFORMATION SYSTEM DISPLAY READS "SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM" AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARS. RECOMMENDED DEALER REPAIR IS THE REPLACEMENT OF THE "ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE". THIS TEMPORARILY SOLVES THE PROBLEM BUT RECURS WITHIN A FEW THOUSAND MILES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 25 MPH WHEN ALL OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AS THE ENGINE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THE SHIFTER BEZEL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,586 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 73,285.

RECENTLY EXPERIENCED A ." SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM " ERROR WITH TOTAL LOSS OF FORWARD MOMENTUM AT ABOUT 15 MPH. WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER, PLACE IN PARK AND CONTINUE GOING. HOWEVER ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, SO HEADED TO DEALER MONDAY. I'M GREATLY CONCERNED IF THIS HAPPENS AT HIGH SPEED AND WITH FAMILY IN THE CAR. READING COMPLAINTS, THIS IS HIGHLY POSSIBLE AND THERE APPEARS TO BE NO REAL SOLUTION. HELP?!! *TR

12/5/2011- THE JEEP COMMANDER LOST ALL POWER WHILE DRIVING, I COULD NOT GO FASTER THEN 15 MPH. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORMED ME, THAT THE PCM NEEDED TO BE CHANGED AND THERE WAS NO RECALL. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2006 MODEL BUT NONE ON MINE (2007). THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE CAR WILL JUST LOSE POWER. I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR. I CALLED THE JEEP RECALL CENTER AND THEY WERE OF NO HELP AND A WASTE OF TIME. *TR

THE "PRND" GEARS LIT UP WITH BOXES AROUND THEM - THE "SERVICE PARKING ASSIST BRAKE" CAME ON AS WELL.... I COULD NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL AFTER THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN - HAD TO TURN ON HAZARD LIGHTS AND TURN VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON - WORKED FINE FOR 10 MINUTES OR SO AND THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, IT HAS BEEN ON EVER SINCE. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS THEY ASKED ME TO BRING IT IN FOR DIAGNOSING, BUT HESITANT BECAUSE OF ALL THE SAME KIND OF STORIES THAT I HAVE READ ON THIS ISSUE. GOING TO HAVE TO GIVE IN THOUGH, THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN OF MINE NOW... HAVE NOT SEEN A RECALL FOR THIS EVEN THOUGH SOMEONE CAN CERTAINLY HAVE A DEVASTATING ACCIDENT, NOT WILLING TO TAKE THAT CHANCE... LOVE MY VEHICLE, BUT NOW I HATE THE AGGRAVATION THAT THIS IS CAUSING.. WITH ALL...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE AT A TRAFFIC STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED BUT WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 69,400.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH APPROACHING A TRAFFIC STOP SIGNAL. WHILE DRIVING FROM THE COMPLETE STOP THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. UPON RESTARTING, THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMALLY. THE IDENTICAL FAILURE RECURRED TEN MONTHS LATER. IN ADDITION, THE REAR PARKING ASSIST FAILED TO FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO STATED THE GEAR SHIFT ASSIST WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE.

WHILE DRIVING THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO SHIFT PAST 2ND GEAR. THE COOLING FAN PROCEEDED TO REMAIN STUCK ON HIGH. TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN BACK ON AND IT BEGAN TO RUN FINE. WHEN TURNED OFF AGAIN IT WAS AGAIN STUCK IN 2ND GEAR AND THE COOLING FAN PROCEEDED TO REMAIN STUCK ON HIGH. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM THOUGH THEY CLAIM THE PCM NEEDS UPDATED AGAIN(WAS JUST UPDATED 1.5 YRS AGO AND WE PAID) AND NEEDS A SHIFT CONTROL MODULE? WE HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER 6 TIMES SINCE PURCHASED NEW FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH REPROGRAMMING AND NOT SHIFTING CORRECTLY. WHY IS THIS VEHICLE NOT ON THE RECALL LIST LIKE THE 2006 PCM COMMANDER ISSUE? *TR

WHILE TRAVELING IN "DRIVE" THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OR DECELERATE. ON THE DASH BOARD ALL THE GEAR 123D HAD LIT UP SQUARES AROUND THEM. WHEN I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR NOTHING HAPPENED. THIS CAN CAUSE A CRASH AND POSSIBLY KILL SOMEBODY INCLUDING MY FAMILY. I ENDED UP HAVING TO PULL TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART IT. WHEN I DID THIS EVERYTHING WORKED NORMALLY. I HAVE HEARD OF PROBLEMS LIKE THIS BEFORE. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED FROM A VOLKSWAGEN DEALER WHO TOLD ME THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY WAS TRANSFERABLE. IT IS NOT. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 44000 MILES ON IT AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT IS SO UNSAFE. PLEASE HELP.. NO WORK HAS BEEN DONE ON THIS VEHICLE DUE TO LACK OF FUNDS, A WARRANTY AND EVERY TIME I CALL A JEEP DEALER AND ASK THEM WHAT IT IS I...
