NHTSA complaint #11141264 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
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 TRIED TO START IT AGAIN AND IT RAN BUT HAD A LOUD KNOCK SO I IMMEDIATELY SHUT THE ENGINE 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
IDENTICAL ISSUE AS FOUND WITH NHTSA # 10908927 VEHICLE STALLS WHILE DRIVING AND CANNOT BE RESTARTED WITHOUT PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN PARK. PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED WITH 170,000 MILES ON IT. CARFAX SHOWS GREAT CARE INTO THE VEHICLE, HOWEVER WITHIN FIRST 24 HOURS AFTER PURCHASE HAVE FOUND IT TO STALL WHILE DRIVING AND AT IDLE NEAR 6X. HAVE TAKEN TO AUTO REPAIR SHOP/AUTOZONE/USED IFIXIT CODE FINDER AND NOTHING IS FOUND. THIS HAS CREATED HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS AS IT WILL HAPPEN AT RANDOM.

NHTSA complaint #11001879 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
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.

NHTSA complaint #10983038 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
ENGINE
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
IGNITION RECALL....JEEP WON'T START. HAVE A NEW STARTER AND BATTERY. WHEN I CAN GET IT TO FINALLY START THE FAN STOPS. THEN I GET STRANDED BECAUSE IT WON'T START AGAIN. I SEE THIS VEHICLE HAS 5 RECALLS. I BOUGHT THIS JEEP FROM A CAR LOT LESS THAN 6 MONTHS AGO. THE LOT WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. SO I GOOGLED THE MAKE AND MODEL AND FIND 5 RECALLS. SO FAR THANK GOD THE JEEP IS STATIONARY WHEN IT WON'T START. BUT BEING STRANDED WITH A 4 MONTH OLD BABY IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER....... YES IN ANGRY AS HELL!
