I OWN A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER AT ABOUT 10,000 MILES IT STARTED TO STALL AND TURN OFF. DEALER DID NOT REPLACE ANY PARTS ONLY FLUSHED THE ON BOARD COMPUTER AND UPDATED THE SOFTWARE. MONTHS LATER IT STARTED TO DO THE SAME THING. DEALER DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND PERFORMED THE SAME TASK OF FLUSHING THE COMPUTER AND UPDATING ITS SOFTWARE. TWO YEARS AND 23,000 MILES AND THE CAR IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY SO I'M GOING BACK TO THE DEALER, BUT I DON'T THINK THEY WE FIX THE PROBLEM . TR

WE HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE FOR SEVERAL MONTH WITH NO RESULTS FROM CHRSYLER CORPORATION OR THE DEALERSHIP. WHEN IT RAINS WATER IS COMING INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE SEAT BELT IS ALWAYS WET, WATER IS COMING IN THROUGH THE PANEL, WATER IS ON THE FLOOR AND IN THE CUP HOLDERS. WE HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND IT HAS BEEN LABEL AS A LEMON. HOWEVER, WE HAVE NOT HAD ANY RESULT FROM CHRYSLER. THE RADIO WOULD NOT TURN OFF, THE WINDOWS WOULD NOT COME DOWN, AND THE DOOR WOULD NOT UNLOCK. THIS WAS THE LAST STRAW. WATER IS CONSTANTLY LEAKING INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE FROM THE ROOF. THE VEHICLE HAS A MILDEW SMELL INSIDE. HOWEVER, THIS DILEMMA ABOUT TO COME TO A CLOSE. BUT HAS TAKEN A TURN FOR THE WORSE. I GREGORY HAILEY WAS INFORMED THAT ON MONDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 2008 THAT I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO TAKE PROCESSION OF A VEHICLE, BECAUSE OF SOME TECHNICALITY BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP, CHRYSLER FINANCIAL AND THE THIRD PARTY INDIVIDUAL THAT IS HANDLING THIS MATTER. I AM DEEPLY UPSET WITH CHRYSLER AS A WHOLE IN THE WAY THEY HAVE HANDLE THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A 2 YEAR PROBLEM BECAUSE IT DATES BACK TO 2006 ON THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE. IF THERE IS A NEED PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION. *TR

HVAC AND DEFROST DIRECTS COLD AIR ONTO WINDSHIELD WHILE SENDING 175 DEGREE FAHRENHEIT HOT AIR TO BOTTOM VENTS AIR IS NOT MIXING PROPERLY. JEEP DEALER WILL NOT MAKE REPAIR, SAYING "THIS IS HOW HVAC WORKS". DUE TO COLD AIR BLOWING FROM THE DEFROSTER ON WINDSHIELD, WINDSHIELD BUILDS UP WITH ICE AND SNOW, AND DOES NOT DEFROST PROPERLY. *TR

I LEASE A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. I NOTICED, TO START, THAT THE ENGINE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AT A LOW SPEED. AT FIRST IT FELT LIKE MY FOOT WAS NOT QUITE ON THE ACCELERATOR SO I DISMISSED THE FIRST COUPLE OF INCIDENCES. MORE RECENTLY HOWEVER, MY VEHICLE WILL OCCASIONALLY STOP ACCELERATING AT ABOUT 15 MILES PER HOUR. WITH MY FOOT FULLY ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT GO ( THE ENGINE IS NOT STALLED ). IT DEFINITELY FEELS LIKE THE VEHICLE IS SHIFTING AUTOMATICALLY INTO NEUTRAL WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE. THE ENGINE LIGHT ON MY CONTROL PANEL ILLUMINATES. THE PROBLEM HAS BECOME WORSE. THE VEHICLE WILL STOP ACCELERATING AT HIGHER SPEEDS AND THE PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, AND DRIVE SYMBOLS ALL ILLUMINATE ON MY CONTROL PANEL - SUGGESTING THAT I AM IN ALL THOSE POSITIONS. I TOOK MY COMMANDER IN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE CHECKED ON OCTOBER 6, 2008 AND THEY SAID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS BECAUSE MY VEHICLE IS BLATANTLY NOT WORKING PROPERLY - AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN IF I CANNOT MOVE MY VEHICLE AT AN APPROPRIATE SPEED TO CROSS INTERSECTIONS ETC.. I HAVE TO PUT MY HAZARDS ON AND PULL OVER WHEN THIS HAPPENS, NOW ON A DAILY BASIS. I WILL NOT DRIVE IT DISTANCES BECAUSE I AM AFRAID THAT IT COULD SHIFT OUT OF GEAR ON THE HIGHWAY WHICH WOULD BE DANGEROUS. I DID TAKE IT TO A LOCAL CAR STORE WHERE THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC SCAN AND FOUND THE CODE U0404 THAT INVALID DATA WAS RECEIVED FROM THE GEAR SHIFTER. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO NOW THAT I HAVE A VEHICLE THAT CHRYSLER SAYS NOTHING IS WRONG WITH BUT DOES NOT WORK. I DO THINK THAT THIS IS CLEARLY A DANGEROUS PROBLEM TO HAVE. *TR
