2007 JEEP COMMANDER Complaints

THE 2007 JEEP COMMANDER I HAVE RECENTLY PURCHASED STARTS INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN TURNING THE IGNITION TO START, THERE IS A STALL BEFORE ALL CONTROLS COME ON, AND THEN THE JEEP DOES NOT START. THIS HAPPENED A LITTLE OVER A MONTH AGO FOR 1 DAY AND THEN BEGAN STARTING RIGHT AWAY, UNTIL NOW. IT DOES NOT START WITH A BATTERY JUMP, NOR DOES IT SHOW ANY SIGNS OF TRANSMISSION DAMAGE. IT SIMPLY DOES NOT START.

I PURCHASED MY JEEP IN APRIL OF THIS YEAR. THE 1ST WEEK I HAD IT, IT SEEMED TO BE BE LOOSING POWER SO I PUT IT IN THE SHOP TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. THIS WENT ON FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. THE JEEP STOPPED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE I WOULD BE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY CHILDREN. DESPITE THE MANY ADVANCES OF PUTTING IT IN THE SHOP, THE PROBLEM NEVER SEEMED TO GET FIXED. ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO, I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND MY BOYFRIEND WHEN IT LOST POWER TO THE POINT IT SHUT OFF AGAIN. THANK GOD WE ALL WERE ABLE TO SAFELY MAKE IT OUT THE JEEP WITHOUT BEIMG INJURED. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE REPAIR SHOP WERE I WAS TOLD MY MOTOR LOCKED UP. WHEN I ASKED THE MECHANIC HOW WAS THAT POSSIBLE HE SAID HE HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN BEFORE. IT HAD OIL AND IT WASN'T RUNNING HOT AT ALL. IT NEVER RAN HOT AT ANY POINT ACTUALLY. WHEN HE CHECKED, HE FOUND THE JEEP DIDN'T HAVE ANY COOLANT BUT COULD NOT GIVE REASON TO WHY THIS HAPPENED. I CONTACTED SEVERAL JEEP DEALERSHIPS THAT TOLD ME THAT NEVER HADN'T NEVER BEEN ANY RECALL ON MY JEEP BUT I FOUND SEVERAL THINGS ON THE INTERNET STATING THAT THE ENGINE AND COOLANT SYSTEM A ON MY VEHICLE HAD BEEN AN ISSUE WITH OTHER JEEP OWNERS SAME YEAR; MAKE AND MODEL OF MY VEHICLE.

WHILE IN MOTION ON AN INTERSTATE, GOING ABOUT 70 MPH THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO DECELERATE. THE ELECTRICAL WARNING PANEL FLICKERED. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND. THE VEHICLE WOULD ONLY GO 30 MPH WITH ACCELERATOR PEDAL DEPRESSED COMPLETELY. NEEDING TO GET OFF OF INTERSTATE, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ONLY GO 30 MPH ON A CITY STREET. OCCASIONALLY, THE VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE, JERK, AND THE ELECTRICAL WARNING PANEL WOULD FLICKER. TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP WARNING LIGHT THEN CAME ON. TOOK VEHICLE TO A TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP. UNABLE TO PUT VEHICLE IN REVERSE, VEHICLE WILL NOT RESPOND. WAITING TO BE INSPECTED TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL STARTED TO FLICKER AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PCM (POWER CONTROL MODULE) AND TCM (TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE) SENSORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V438000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 114,000.

I COMPLETED A RECALL (14V-438 RECALL DATE: SEPTEMBER 3, 2014 MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER: P41) UNDERSTANDING THAT MY PROBLEM WOULD END. THE IGNITION KEY RECALL WORK: WHEN I INSERT THE KEY TO THE IGNITION, IT TAKES AN EFFORT TO PUSH AND TURN THE IGNITION KEY. 1) I AM AFRAID THE KEY WILL BREAK OFF AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. 2) I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THE LIGHT FLICKERING AND ELECTRIC PANEL SHUTDOWN (ENGINE STILL RUNNING, BUT PANEL SEEMS TO BE DISCONNECTED FROM ENGINE PERFORMANCE AT THIS POINT) 3) MY VEHICLE CONTINUES TO ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN WITH FOOT ON BRAKES ONLY WHEN STOPPED AT A LIGHT OR STOPPED AND MAKING TURNS, OR STOPPED ON "P- PARK" WITH ENGINE IDLING JOLTIN MY HEAD/BODY (TO DESCRIBE HOW MUCH IT IS FELT).
