I HAD A FEARFUL INCIDENT AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE PASSING LANE IN MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER GOING APPROX. 60 MILES PER HOUR. WHEN SUDDENLY MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL , IT REMAINED AT 60 MILES AN HOUR FOR ABOUT A MILE WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC ON ALL SIDES OF ME. AN ALERT WAS DISPLAYED VERY QUICKLY STATING SERVICE PARKING ASSIST SYSTEM AND MY PANEL HIGHLIGHTED ALL GEARS AT ONCE. I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN AND GET OFF THE HIGHWAY. I TOOK ALL THE SIDE ROADS TO GET HOME AND MY JEEP BEGAN TO HESITATE LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL ON ME. THE NEXT DAY MY ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND REMAINED ON AND LEFT ME STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY . I CONTACTED MY DEALER TO GET IT IN FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE WAS BAD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I HAD PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE MODULE WAS NOT A COVERED PART. THE ESTIMATED PRICE WAS $1025. *TR

BOTH REAR INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES INOPERABLE. ONLY WAY TO OPEN REAR PASSENGER DOORS IS FROM OUTSIDE. REAR SEATS RARELY USED, NOT BROKEN DUE TO OVERUSE! *TR

I HAD COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND WHEN I ACCELERATED MY VEHICLE IT STALLED AS I WAS ROUNDING A CORNER. MY ENGINE LIGHT BEGAN TO FLASH. THE PRND LETTERS ON THE DASH ALL LIT UP AND THE SCREEN READ SERVICE PARK ASSIST. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN MULTIPLE TIMES WHERE ALL THE LETTERS LIGHT UP AND IT WILL NOT ACCELERATE ON THE HIGHWAY. I CAN USUALLY TELL WHEN IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN BECAUSE IT TENDS TO STRUGGLE ON ACCELERATION. SOMETIMES IT WILL KICK BACK AND THEN LETTERS LIGHT UP. REALLY ANNOYING WHEN IT HAPPENS 4-5 TIMES A DAY. OTHER TIMES IT HAPPENS AS I'M GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE OTHER VEHICLES BEHIND HAVE TO BRAKE FAST DUE TO STALL. VERY DANGEROUS!! *TR

THE "PRND" GEARS LIT UP WITH BOXES AROUND THEM - THE "SERVICE PARKING ASSIST BRAKE" CAME ON AS WELL.... I COULD NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL AFTER THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN - HAD TO TURN ON HAZARD LIGHTS AND TURN VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON - WORKED FINE FOR 10 MINUTES OR SO AND THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, IT HAS BEEN ON EVER SINCE. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS THEY ASKED ME TO BRING IT IN FOR DIAGNOSING, BUT HESITANT BECAUSE OF ALL THE SAME KIND OF STORIES THAT I HAVE READ ON THIS ISSUE. GOING TO HAVE TO GIVE IN THOUGH, THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN OF MINE NOW... HAVE NOT SEEN A RECALL FOR THIS EVEN THOUGH SOMEONE CAN CERTAINLY HAVE A DEVASTATING ACCIDENT, NOT WILLING TO TAKE THAT CHANCE... LOVE MY VEHICLE, BUT NOW I HATE THE AGGRAVATION THAT THIS IS CAUSING.. WITH ALL THE HORROR STORIES WITH THE SAME SORT OF ISSUE YOU WOULD THINK THAT JEEP WOULD TAKE CARE OF THIS, I GUESS THAT THIS IS WHY THEY DISCONTINUED THE COMMANDER? *TR
