THIS MORNING I WAS DRIVING INTO WORK, WHEN MY CAR WASN'T GETTING ENOUGH POWER TO MOVE. EACH TIME I WOULD GIVE IT GAS, IT WOULD SPUTTER AT ME. THIS HAS BEEN A CONSTANT PROBLEM SINCE I BOUGHT A YEAR AGO... I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS SO I CAN FIX IT

ENGINE
JEEP LOSES POWER AND SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING IN CITY AND ON THE HIGHWAY AT RANDOM SPEEDS. ALSO WILL SHUT DOWN WHILE STATIONARY. CAUSES LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS NOT COME ON. THE ONLY WAY TO RESTART IS TO FULLY PLACE IN PARK AND COMPLETELY REMOVE THE KEY. VIOLENT SHUT DOWN AND TRANSMISSION IS NOT SHIFTING CORRECTLY. I HAVE HAD THE ASD RELAY REPLACED AND WIRING CHECKED WITH NO FIX. VERY DANGEROUS WITH MY 3 YEAR OLD IN THE CAR.

ENGINE
I DROVE TO A GAS STATION ABOUT 5 MILES FROM MY HOME TO FUEL UP. AFTER FUELING UP, I TRIED TO START THE ENGINE AND IT RAN ROUGH FOR LESS THAN A SECOND AND THEN SHUT OFF.

I TOWED IT TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHO SAID I HAD A DROPPED VALVE SEAT AND WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. THE ODOMETER WAS AT 106,000 MILES WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

NHTSA complaint #11061392 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLS OUT, OBVIOUSLY RESULTING IN A LOSS OF POWER STEERING & BRAKES. THIS HAS HAPPENED 50+/- TIMES OVER THE LAST 2 YEARS OF MY OWNERSHIP. THE PROBLEM HAS INTENSIFIED OVER THE LAST 2 WEEKS, BUT WOULD ALWAYS RE START AFTER SHIFTING INTO PARK. LAST NIGHT (10/8/2017) IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS TIME WHILE MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH. THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER AS I COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. THIS TIME IT WOULD NOT START & I HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED. THROUGH ON-LINE RESEARCH, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THE JEEP COMMANDER (4.7L) DATING BACK TO WHEN THE VEHICLES WERE NEW. THE FIX FOR THE PROBLEM VARIES GREATLY. GIVEN THE TIMELINE FOR THIS PROBLEM, ITS OBVIOUS THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT DAIMLER CHRYSLER (NOW FIAT CHRYSLER USA) IS AWARE OF & MAKES NO ATTEMPT AT A SOLUTION.

ENGINE
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AND THE ENGINE DOWN SHIFTED HARD AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED OVER, TURNED MY VEHICLE OFF, TURNED MY VEHICLE BACK ON, AND IT DROVE JUST FINE. I WENT TO GET THE ENGINE LIGHT CHECKED AND THE CODE THAT CAME BACK WAS THE MAP SENSOR. I JUST REPLACED THE MAP SENSOR TWO MONTHS PRIOR.

ENGINE
MY JEEP IS LOSING POWER WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND WHEN I TAKE IT TO BE LOOKED AT, I CAN NEVER GET A STRAIGHT ANSWER. I CONTINUE BEING TOLD IT'S TRANSMISSION ISSUE (TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER, FLUID, LINES). MY CAR SLIGHTLY JERKS INTO GET WHEN SHIFTING FROM PART TO ANOTHER GEAR, AND THE PARKING ASSIST MESSAGE FLASHES ON. AFTER READING ALL THE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ONLINE IT SEEMS THE ISSUE MAY BE WITH THE SHIFT MODULE. WITH SO MANY COMPLAINTS IT WOULD BE NICE IF THIS COULD BE A RECALL AND CORRECTED.

MY VEHICLE WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE IN TRAFFIC CAUSING ME TO ALMOST GET HIT IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. I COULD DO NOTHING BUT COAST AND BRAKE. ALL GEARS BECAME HIGHLIGHTED WHICH WERE NOT PREVIOUSLY. I AM WORRIED IF THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN I WILL BE IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ENCOUNTER AMONG JEEP OWNERS BUT THERE IS NO RECALL.

ENGINE
TAKATA RECALL. I RECIEVED A RECALL ON MY JEEP COMMANDER ABOUT 8 MONTHS AGO CONCERNING ENGINE SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING AND POTENTIALLY ENDANGERING MY FAMILY AS WELL AS OTHERS. THE RECALL STATED WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLE WE WOULD RECIEVE A SECOND RECALL TO FIX THE TROUBLE. ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE SHUT OFF ON ME AND I ALMOST HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. I WAS MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN WHEN IT SHUT OFF AND LOST STEERING AND BRAKES. I ENDED UP HAVING IT TOWED HOME BY TRIPPLE A AND NOW IT WILL NOT START. NO FAULT CODES PRESENT. AFTER READING THOUSANDS OF ONLINE REPORTS OF SAME TROUBLE AND JEEP CHRYSLER APPARENTLY NOT WILLING TO ADDRESS ISSUE WHAT DO I DO. IF I DID GET IT TO RUN I WOULD BE AFRAID TO DRIVE IT OR MY WIFE FOR FEAR OF ENDANGERING HER OR MY TWO YOUNG CHILDREN. PLEASE HELP ALL CONCERNED

ENGINE
ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO, MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4, 4.7L, LIMITED, INEXPLICABLY STALLED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 60 MILES PER HOUR. SINCE THAT FIRST STALLING EPISODE, THIS HAS OCCURRED AT LEAST 30 MORE TIMES. IT HAPPENS IN THE CITY, THE FREEWAY, DURING ACCELERATION, AND UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS VEHICLE TO THE JEEP DEALER ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. EACH TIME, THEY TELL ME THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. FURTHERMORE, THEY TELL ME THAT THIS IS AN ISOLATED PROBLEM THAT THEY HAVEN'T HEARD ABOUT BEFORE. A SIMPLE INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS IS A WIDELY REPORTED PROBLEM AND OWNERS REPORT THE SAME EXPLANATIONS FROM THE DEALERSHIPS.

THIS HAS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY SINCE PURCHASING VEHICLE IN SEPT 2015. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE VEHICLE EITHER; A) LURCHES ALL ELECTRONICS DIE AND THEN QUICKLY COMES BACK TO POWER, OR B) THE VEHICLE STALLS. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO DEALER FOR REPAIR 4 TIMES AND SERVICE DOES NOT FIX.

ENGINE
I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE SINCE NEW AND HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING INFREQUENT AND USUALLY MOMENTARY ENGINE STALLS WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FOR YEARS. EACH TIME THERE WAS A SLIGHT CLUNK SOUND AND LURCH FORWARD - AS IF THE CRUISE CONTROL HAD JUST DISCONNECTED, AND WITHIN A SECOND OR SO EVERYTHING WOULD BE BACK TO NORMAL. BUT ON A RECENT TRIP I HAD THREE INCIDENTS OVER TWO DAYS WHICH WERE MUCH WORSE, PERHAPS BECAUSE THEY ALL OCCURRED AT TEMPERATURES AROUND 0 DEGREES F.OR BELOW. IN TWO INCIDENTS, WHILE DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE AT A STEADY 75MPH, INSTEAD OF THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY RECOVERING, IT TOOK LONG ENOUGH THAT THE VEHICLE HAD SLOWED DOWN TO 30-35MPH BEFORE THE ENGINE RESTARTED ITSELF. IN ONE INCIDENT ALSO WHILE DRIVING AT A STEADY 75MPH ON AN INTERSTATE THE ENGINE DID NOT RECOVER AND I HAD TO PULL OFF ONTO THE SHOULDER AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP WITH NO POWER. I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN AND THE ENGINE RESTARTED IMMEDIATELY. I HAD NO LOSS OF ELECTRICAL POWER DURING THESE INCIDENTS, AND I HAVE NOTHING DANGLING FROM NOR COULD I HAVE BUMPED THE IGNITION KEY. I HAVE ALWAYS MAINTAINED THE VEHICLE ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE SCHEDULE AND HAVE HAD ALL RECALLS PERFORMED, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE LATEST ONE FOR WHICH THE DEALER STILL HAS NOT RECEIVED THE PARTS FROM JEEP. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO A JEEP DEALERSHIP THE SAME DAY AS THE SECOND AND THIRD INCIDENTS AND THEY SAID THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. I ASKED THEM IF POSSIBLY THE POWER CONTROLLER MODULE RECALL NEEDED TO BE DONE A SECOND TIME, AND THEY RESPONDED THAT JEEP WOULD NOT PERMIT THAT.

ENGINE
DRIVING HOME FROM MEETING APPROX 10PM. ALL SEEMED TO BE RUNNING SMOOTHLY. SUDDEN 'CLUNK' NOISE FROM ENGINE COMPARTMENT. ENGINE STALLED. COASTED TO SIDE OF ROAD. ALL DASH LIGHTS CAME ON AS THEY DO AT ENGINE STARTUP...INDICATING ENGINE NOT RUNNING. ONCE STOPPED PLACED VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL. TURNED OFF KEY AND TURNED BACK ON. ENGINE STARTED IMMEDIATELY AND I COMPLETED MY TRIP WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. THE KEY DID NOT FALL OUT NOR DO I HAVE ANYTHING ATTACHED TO IT. THIS IS THE 5.7LITER ENGINE. A REVIEW OF THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET ONCE HOME HAS RETURNED 100S OF COMPLAINTS FROM PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH NO DEALER RESOLUTION IN ANY OF THE CASES I READ. I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS IS RELATED TO THE OUTSTANDING KEY ISSUE. I PURCHASED THIS CAR YESTERDAY SO I CANNOT SPEAK TO WHETHER IT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE. THIS COULD BE A VERY SERIOUS SITUATION WERE IT TO HAPPEN IN COMMUTE TIME TRAFFIC. I SEE THE STALLING ISSUE ON YOUR LIST WITH ALL THE ENGINES USED IN THE COMMANDER BUT I SEE NO RESOLUTION. THIS WAS FROM 2007. WHAT HAS HAPPENED WITH THIS?

ENGINE
ON AT LEAST 4 OCCASIONS MY JEEP HAS STALLED (NOT SURE OF DATES). IT HAS HAPPENED MAINLY WHEN I TRY TO START MOVING FROM A STOP. IT HAS NOT STALLED WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS. I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS AN AIR LOCK OR BAD GAS BUT AFTER READING THE MANY COMPLAINTS AND DANGEROUS SITUATIONS I SEE IT MUST BE THE IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM. I HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED BY CHRYSLER I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT IT WHEN MY JEEP WAS IN FOR REPAIRS ON ANOTHER PROBLEM. I RESEARCH THIS THEN CALLED THE DEALER AND HE SAID YES THERE IS A PROBLEM BUT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS JUST WAIT TILL THEY COME IN THEN CHRYSLER WILL SEND ME A NOTICE. THEY HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS FOR YEARS. IS THIS GOING TO BE ANOTHER GM TYPE SITUATION WITH PEOPLE KILLED. LETS GET THE PARTS AND FIX THEM.

ENGINE
I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION FROM CHRYSLER AWHILE BACK THAT A DEFECT ON MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED. IT WAS A CASE OPENED IN JUNE, 2014 BY NHTSA FOR PE14017. CHRYSLER SAID NO SOLUTION HAD BEEN IDENTIFIED AT THE TIME THEY SENT THE LETTER BUT THE LOCAL DISTRIBUTOR WOULD REMEDY THE DEFECT WITHOUT CHARGE WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME. THE LOCAL DEALER HAS NOT HEARD ANYTHING FROM CHRYSLER. I DON'T KNOW WHAT "REASONABLE TIME" MEANS BUT WANTED TO ASK YOU HOW LONG YOU THINK I SHOULD NEED TO WAIT BEFORE A SOLUTION TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM WHICH CHRYSLER SAYS "MAY EXPERIENCE UNINTENDED CHANGE IN IGNITION SWITCH POSITION WHILE DRIVING WHICH MAY RESULT IN LOSS OF ENGINE POWER, POWER STEERING, AND BRAKING ASSIST INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH AND DISABLING ONE OR MORE OF THE VEHICLE'S SAFETY FEATURES INCLUDING THE FRONTAL AIRBAGS." THANK YOU.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AFTER THE ENGINE STALLED OUT SEVERAL TIMES IN A ROW. I HAD IT TESTED, AND THEY SAID IT WAS AN IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE. THE IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE DOES NOT EXIST ON THIS VEHICLE, BUT YET ITS THE ONLY CODE THAT IT IS GIVING OFF. I'M STILL HAVING STALLING ISSUES WHICH ARE DANGEROUS WHEN PULLING OUT OF INTERSECTIONS. ANOTHER ISSUE THAT IS ONGOING THAT I'M HAVING, IS THE SUNROOF LEAKING. I HAVE LITERALLY 2 GALLONS OF WATER THAT WILL BE ON MY FLOOR BOARD WHEN IT RAINS. YOU CAN HEAR WATER SLOSHING ABOVE YOUR HEAD BEFORE IT HITS THE WIRING IN THE DOOR PANELS AND THEN COLLECTS ON THE FLOOR BOARDS.
