2006 Jeep Commander acceleration problems

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

THIS HAS BEEN THE 3RD TIME THIS TYPE OF EVENT HAPPENS, THE FIRST TIME WAS AT A CITY STREET DRIVING STRAIGHT FORWARD AT 30-35MPH AND THE ENGINE STARTED STALLING, TRUCK COMPLETELY WENT OFF, HEAD LIGHTS WOULD GO ON AND OFF, ALONG WITH MY INTERIOR DASHBOARD INDICATORS AND MEDIA CENTER. SECOND TIME, SAME THING, AND THE THIRD TIME WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 35-40MPH IN A CITY STREET AND GRADUALLY SLOWING DOWN TO 10-15MPH TO MAKE A LEFT THE TRUCK COMPLETELY WENT OFF, HEAD LIGHTS WOULD GO ON AND OFF, ALONG WITH MY INTERIOR DASHBOARD INDICATORS AND MEDIA CENTER. IT SEEM LIKE I HAD TURNED OFF THE ENGINE COMPLETELY FOR LIKE A SPLIT SECOND. I THOUGH IT MIGHT'VE BEEN THAT I HIT THE KEY WITH MY KNEE, BUT I PULLED OVER RESTARTED THE ENGINE AFTER 15 MIN, AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. ALL THE LIGHTS WOULD GO ON AND OFF AND THE ENGINE POWER WOULD SHUT DOWN, WHEN PUTTING THE GEARS, IT WOULD SOUND VERY FORCING. I TURNED IT OFF AGAIN AND WAITED 30 MIN, RESTARTED THE TRUCK AGAIN IT DID THE PROBLEM FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN IT WAS LIKE NOTHING EVER HAPPENED.

MY JEEP LOSES POWER EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT STALLS OUT WHILE DRIVING (SCARY WHEN IT HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY) AT TIMES IT STOPS SHIFTING AND THEN SLAMS LIKE THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION FELL OUT OF JEEP.

THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES NOW, I HAVE BEEN DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 70 MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE IS A DING ON THE DASH BOARD AND THE CAR STALLS, AND THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. ONCE YOU SHUT DOWN THE CAR AND START IT AGAIN THE CAR WORKS FINE BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS, ACCORDING TO JEEP THEY CHARGE FOR A DIAGNOSIS AND I SEE ONLINE THAT THIS IS HAPPENING A LOT IN MY TYPE OF VEHICLE BUT JEEP HAS YET TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT. I THINK IT IS VERY DANGEROUS SINCE I HAVE BEEN DRIVING ON A FREEWAY WHERE PEOPLE ARE DRIVING AS FAST OR FASTER THAN ME AND COULD CAUSE A PROBLEM.

THE PROBLEM STARTED IN JANUARY 2019. THE VEHICLE STARTED HAVING IDLING ISSUES, COLD START IN MORNING IDLES AROUND 900, WHEN PUT IN REVERSE IT DIPS TO AROUND 500 AND WOBBLES BACK AND FORTH WHILE BACKING UP, PUT IN DRIVE AND IT WOULD BE OK BUT WOULD STALL SOMETIMES AT STOP SIGN- CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NEVER CAME ON. I HAD THROTTLE BODY CLEANED AND FUEL SYSTEM SERVICE DONE AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SAME DAY. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR RECALLS AND THEY REPLACED THROTTLE BODY ALSO. IT DROVE OK FOR A DAY AND I HAVE THE UNSTABLE IDLE BACK AND THE RPM JUMPS UP WHILE IN DRIVE BUT STOPPED AT A LIGHT. ABOUT A WEEK AGO I AM SLOWING DOWN TO STOP AT A LIGHT AHEAD AND IT STARTS VIBRATING LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL AND THE ETC AND TCS LIGHT CAME ON AND I SHUT IT OFF AND IT CRANKED RIGHT BACK UP AND DROVE IT THE REST OF THE DAY WITH NO ISSUE. ETC LIGHT WILL COME ON WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSE NO ISSUES OTHER THAN THE UNSTABLE IDLE. TODAY-5-10-19, COMING HOME AND START TO TURN LEFT AND ETC AND TCS LIGHT COME ON AND IT SEEMS LIKE IT IS IN LIMP MODE BECAUSE THERE IS A LOSS OF POWER AND ETC LIGHT IS NOW BLINKING, SO I PULL IN A PARKING LOT, CUT IT OFF FOR FIVE MINUTES AND IT CRANKS RIGHT BACK UP WITH NO LIGHTS ON AND I AM ABLE TO DRIVE 5 MILES HOME.

THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS PULLING OUT INTO BUSY TRAFFIC FROM A SIDE STREET. I ACCELERATED QUICKLY AND WHEN I BACKED MY FOOT OFF THE PEDDLE THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. I TAPPED THE PEDDLE A COUPLE TIMES THINKING IT WAS CAUGHT ON THE FLOOR MATT (NOT).IT BACK OFF AND THEN IT DID IT BRIEFLY AGAIN BEFORE CORRECTING ITSELF. THIS WAS ALL IN A 10 SEC. TIME PERIOD..... THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY. I STEPPED DOWN TO PASS A CAR AND THE PEDDLE MOVED TO THE FLOOR AND STAYED THERE FOR ABOUT 15 SECONDS, RELEASED AND WENT TO THE FLOOR AGAIN FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS. I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BREAK TRYING NOT TO HIT OTHER CARS AHEAD OF ME. EVERYTIME I LIFT MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE WE WENT FASTER. THEN IT CORRECTED ITSELF AGAIN. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD THE SECOND TIME AND CHECKED TO MAKE SURE THERE WAS NOTHING ON THE FLOOR BOARD THAT MIGHT HAVE INTERFERED WITH THE PEDDLE BUT THERE WAS NOTHING. I WAS NOT USING THE CRUISE CONTROL IN EITHER OCCURRENCE. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT BUT COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN. I DID HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE CAR.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

THE VEHICLE CRUISE CONTROL MALFUNCTIONS: NOW EVEN PRESSING "SET" AT LEAST WHILE DRIVING OVER 40 MPH MAKES THE VEHICLE ACCELERATE FAST EVEN TO 80 MPH SO I PRESS BRAKE PEDAL WHICH DOES DISENGAGE CRUISE CONTROL. EVEN IF YOU TURN CRUISE CONTROL OFF AND THEN BACK ON IT KEEPS ON HAPPENING EVERY TIME YOU PRESS SET. I DISCONNECTED POWER TO THE CRUISE CONTROL.

REPLACED BEZEL GEAR SELECTOR 3 TIMES SINCE 2006. AS OF SEPTEMBER 2016 A 4TH REPLACEMENT IS REQUIRED PER GOLLING CHRYSLER. VEHICLE ATTEMPTS TO STALL AFTER 1-2 SECONDS WHEN STARTING FROM A STOPPED POSITION. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATES AND A SERVICE MESSAGE APPEARS STATING "SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM." SEVERAL TIMES FROM 2006 - 2016 THE VEHICLE ALMOST STALLED WHEN ENTERING INTERSECTIONS OF CITY STREETS. WHENEVER CONDITION OCCURED THE PART WAS REPLACED (3 TIMES). PART CAUSING THE CONDITIONS IS PART# CH68004143-AF PRNDL BEZEL GEAR SELECTOR AND CH52108308-AC CONNECTOR ELECTRICAL (TRANSMISSION). I BELIEVE THE GEAR SELECTOR AND TRANSMISSION TO BE DEFECTIVE DUE TO THE FREQUENT FAILURE WHICH COULD CAUSE A SAFETY INCIDENT.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HWY AND MY VEHICLE TURNED OFF. I LOST POWER STEERING BREAKS AND WAS NOT ABLE TO PROPERLY MAINTAIN CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE IN ORDER TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAD HAPPENED TWICE BEFORE THIS TIME, AND I LOOKED TO SEE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY JEEP FOR AN INGITION SWITCH AND THE THE EXACT DISCRIPTION OF WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF MY CAR WAS EFFECTED FIT MY SITUATION. I THEN CALLED JEEP AND ADVISED THEM OF THIS AND THEY SAID I NEEEDED TO HAVE IT DIAGNOISED BY A JEEP DEALERSHIP. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED AT MY EXPENSENSE AND RENTED A CAR AT MY EXPENSE. THE DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED MY ASSUMPTION AND IN FACT THE ISSUE I WAS EXPERIENCING IS PART OF THE RECALL. JEEP NOW TELLS ME THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS AND THEY HAVE NOT MADE A DECISION ON WHETHER IT'S NECCESSARY TO PROVIDE A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE UNTIL THEY HAVE A RESOLVE. AM I SUPPOSED TO BE WITHOUT A VEHICLE OR POTENTIALLY DRIVE MINE WITH 3 CHILDREN, AND POTENTIALLY LOOSE POWER AGAIN CAUSING A LOSS OF CONTROL? WHAT I AM SUPPOSED TO DO FROM HERE?

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY THE JEEP LOST POWER AT APPROXIMATELY 35MPH FROM THE ON RAMP ON TO THE RIGHT LANE OF THE FREEWAY. ALL THE LIGHTS SHUT OFF, ALL THE GAUGES SHUT DOWN, AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN. IT LASTED APPROXIMATELY 4-5 SECONDS, AND AFTER STEPPING ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE JEEP RE-ENGAGED AND WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN TO A SAFE DESTINATION. THE JEEP IS UNDER RECALL P41 FOR IGNITION SWITCH ISSUES, WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT BE CAUSING THE ISSUES, BUT THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE FROM CHRYSLER. THE PARTS HAVE NOT BEEN MANUFACTURED AND/OR DISTRIBUTED. IT IS POSSIBLE THE VEHICLE HAS A BAD CONTROL MODULE. THE RECALL FOR FAULTY CONTROL MODULES WAS ISSUED SEPT. 21, 2014 BUT THIS MAKE AND MODEL WAS NOT COVERED IN THAT RECALL ... ALTHOUGH IT SEEMS LIKELY IT IS HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES.
