TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. WHILE STATIONARY OR WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO RESTART AFTER PLACING THE GEAR IN PARK AND DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. A DEALER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 193,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHILE SITTING AT A STOPLIGHT VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE FEELS AS THE LOSS OF POWER. VEHICLE DOES NOT WANT TO MOVE THEN TOLD IT'S IN SOME SORT OF SAFETY MODE I THINK THE LEAD FRAME IS FAILING FROM WHAT I CAN TELL. VEHICLE SITTING AT A STOPLIGHT FAILS TO ACCELERATE BARELY MOVES

JEEP COMMANDER 2006 LIMITED 5.7 L ENGINE. THE COMPLAINT IS AS FOLLOWS: WHILE DRIVING, AT RANDOM, SLOW AND MEDIUM SPEEDS, ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS ACTIVATE AT ONE TIME FOLLOWED BY IMMEDIATE LOSS OF ENGINE POWER. (AT NO TIME DID MY KNEE HIT THE KEY OR IGNITION CYLINDER) THIS ISSUE DOES NOT CLEAR UP ON ITS OWN. THE ONLY SOLUTION TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT IS TO IMMEDIATELY PUT INTO NEUTRAL, PULL OFF THE ROAD OR HIGHWAY AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. (AT THIS TIME, THE CAR IS SPUTTERING SEVERELY OR STALLS) NEXT STEP- TURN THE KEY TO OFF POSITION, WAIT A FEW SECONDS AND RE START THE VEHICLE. IT STARTS AND RUNS NORMALLY. THE LOSS OF POWER AND DASH LIGHT ACTIVATION IS OCCURRING EVERY OTHER DAY. UPON MY OWN FURTHER INVESTIGATION, MANY REPORTS HAVE BEEN LOGGED (WITH BASICALLY THE SAME COMPLAINT) ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM, WITH ADDITIONAL VIDEO PROOF ON U TUBE ( JUST TYPE IN JEEP COMMANDER DASHBOARD HAYWIRE) WITH SEVERAL VIDEOS OF THE INCIDENT. CHYRSLER CUSTOMER CARE CLAIMS ( AS OF TODAY) TO KNOW NOTHING ABOUT IT - TOLD ME TO CALL LOCAL DEALER, LOCAL JEEP DEALER (CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW) WAS CONTACTED- THEY CLAIM TO NOW NOTHING ABOUT IT. TOLD BOTH AGENCIES TO GET OFF THEIR BUTT TO LOOK AT CAR COMPLAINTS.COM OR JUST VIEW THE NUMEROUS U TUBE VIDEOS. WITH THIS MANY COMPLAINTS, I FIND IT SURPRISING THAT CHRYSLER TO NOT BE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE. I HAVE FOLLOWED ALL RECALLS AND HAD THE IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER AND REPROGRAM THE FINAL DRIVE CONTROL MODULE COMPLETED MANY MONTHS BEFORE PROBLEM OCCURRED. ANY ASSISTANCE IN RESOLVING THIS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
