THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A CLICKING SOUND. THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATED, CHECK GAUGES, AND BATTERY WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE AND THEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE PCM WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V438000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED ANY FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE.

THIS COMPLAINT IS IN REGARDS TO A STALLING ISSUE IN MY 2007 5.7L JEEP COMMANDER. THE VEHICLE WILL STALL WHILE IDLING AT STOPS AND DURING LOW SPEED MANEUVERING AT TURNS AND IN PARKING LOTS. WHILE AT SPEEDS OF 45 MPH+ THE VEHICLE WILL ATTEMPT TO STALL AND TEMPORARILY LOSE POWER. AFTER STOPPING THE VEHICLE AND PLACING IT IN PARK, THE VEHICLE WILL RESTART. THIS HAS BECOME A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AS IT STALLS WHILE MANEUVERING THROUGH INTERSECTIONS AND AT INTERSECTIONS WHERE FOLLOWING VEHICLES ACCELERATE WHEN LIGHTS TURN GREEN. AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLE TO MULTIPLE SHOPS OVER THE PAST WEEK AND A HALF (INCLUDING THE JEEP DEALERSHIP WHERE IT IS CURRENTLY LOCATED), IT WAS DETERMINED THE PCM REQUIRED REPROGRAMMING. FOLLOWING THE REPROGRAMMING OF THE PCM, THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THAT THE ISSUE WAS NOT RESOLVED AS THE VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN WHILE MANEUVERING FROM THE SERVICE BAY. PER NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: EA07007, I CAN SEE THAT THE 2006, 4.7L COMMANDERS WERE RECALLED FROM WHAT APPEARS TO BE THE SAME ISSUE. I ALSO NOTICED THAT AN INVESTIGATION WAS CONDUCTED CONCERNING THE 2006-2007 MODEL COMMANDERS WITH THE SAME ISSUES (INVESTIGATION # PE07009) BUT THE INVESTIGATION IS NOW 'CLOSED' AND 'UPGRADED TO AN ENGINEERING ANALYSIS (EA07-007) TO FURTHER ASSESS THE FREQUENCY, SCOPE AND POTENTIAL SAFETY CONSEQUENCES'. THIS APPEARS TO BE A PROVEN ISSUE WITH DAIMLER CHRYSLER ERA VEHICLES WITH OVER 1.3 MILLION CHEROKEE AND COMMANDER'S RECALLED IN 2008 (HOOD, JAMES. "JEEP OWNERS COMPLAIN OF STALLING." CONSUMER AFFAIRS. 17 JULY 2013) AND 76 COMPLAINTS IN INVESTIGATION # PE07009. I AM FORTUNATE THAT DUE TO MY GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION I AM ABLE TO AVOID HEAVILY POPULATED THOROUGHFARES, BUT HAVE STILL HAD SOME CLOSE CALLS WHEN STALLING MID-INTERSECTION WITH ONCOMING CROSS TRAFFIC APPROACHING. THIS ISSUE GREATLY HAMPERS THE VEHICLE'S UTILIZATION AND HAS A DIRECT IMPACT ON MY FAMILY'S SAFETY.

VEHICLE HAD THE IGNITION SWITCH FIXED WITH THE PRIOR RECALL, BUT I AM STILL HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT WHICH HAS TURNED ON AND THE VEHICLE SLOWS DOWN AND SEEMS TO GO INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING. THIS OCCURS AROUND 20 MPH, LOCAL ROADS AND LUCKILY NOT ON A HIGHWAY YET AND IF I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR NOTHING OCCURS AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT FLASHES. MY TRUCK HAS NOT COME UP UNDER THE RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE BUT I FEEL THAT IT IS RELATED ESPECIALLY AFTER READING ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS, PLEASE HELP.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER, IT WILL SHUT OFF. OTHER TIMES THE LIGHTS WILL FLICKER OFF AND CAR SEEMS TO STALL. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS WITHOUT ANY WARNING. IT IS VERY SCARY TO BE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE CAR JUST STOPS!!! I HAVE FOUR CHILDREN THAT I DRIVE AROUND, SO THIS CAN NOT HAPPEN! I HAVE READ WHERE THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE BECAUSE LIVES ARE AT RISK. I'M TAKING THE VEHICLE IN FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL, BUT I HAVE READ WHERE THAT HAS NOT FIXED THE ISSUE I AM HAVING.

CAR WON'T START WHEN TURN KEY TO START. ALL CONTROL PANEL LIGHT AND AUDIO WORKS. WHEN TURN KEY BACK TO OFF POSITION TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP MESSAGE APPEARS. CAR HAD BEEN SITTING IN GARAGE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. THIS THIRD OR FOURTH TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED.
