2006 JEEP COMMANDER 4X2 Complaints

I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER IT HAS BEEN STALLING WHILE TRAVELING AT SLOW SPEEDS AND IDLING. THE VEHICLE STALLS IN MOVEMENT WITH NO WARNINGS. *NM

VEHICLE HAS STALLED TWICE DURING OPERATION NEARLY CAUSING SEVERE ACCIDENTS. ONCE WHILE EXCITING OFF RAMP OF FREEWAY AT AROUND 40 MPH AND ONCE WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. WITH NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES EITHER SITUATION COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY, WE WERE JUST LUCKY THAT THE DRIVERS AROUND US WERE ALERT AND WE WERE ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND GET AWAY SAFELY. THE SECOND OCCURRENCE HAPPENED WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR AND FRIGHTENED US ALL. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP, THE DEALER MENTIONED NO KNOWN PROBLEMS. I CAME HOME AND DID A QUICK WEB SEARCH AND FOUND SEVERAL POSTINGS ON VARIOUS WEB SITES STATING THE SAME PROBLEM. SOME ONE IS GOING TO BE KILLED IF THEY HAVE NOT ALREADY AS A RESULT OF THIS. WHERE IS THE RECALL? *JB

MY NEW 2006 JEEP COMMANDER NOW SHUTS THE ENGINE OFF AT WILL WHILE DRIVING. I WAS EXITING I-4 ONTO CR579 GOING JUST UNDER 40 MPH WHEN THE STEERING WENT OUT (SO I THOUGHT) ALL GAUGES WERE LIT I ROLLED OFF ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ONCE IN NEUTRAL THE TRUCK RESTARTED. I DROPPED IT AT COURTESY CHRYSLER 3/29 AND WAS INFORMED PRIOR TO INSPECTION THAT THE PROBLEM HAD BEEN SEEN ON THE COMMANDERS AND WAS APPARENTLY PREVALENT ON THE PACIFICA MODEL HOWEVER THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO IF NO CODE CAME UP SO AT THIS POINT I AM EXPECTED TO PICK THE TRUCK UP TELL MY WIFE TO DRIVE AROUND MY CHILDREN AS IF THINGS ARE A OK. SPOKE TO THE SERVICE MANAGER WHO STATED THAT HE IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND HE WOULD CHECK TO SEE IF DC IS WORKING ON ANYTHING TO FIX IT AND IF NOT HE WILL TELL ME(VERY COMFORTING) THE DEALERSHIP IS VERY VERY HELPFUL AND PROFESSIONAL BUT APPARENTLY JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. *NM

WELL THE JEEP HAS YET ANOTHER NEW HABIT, MY WIFE TOOK IT INTO TOWN TODAY TO PICK UP SOME DIAPERS FROM THE A+P SUPERMARKET AND PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT AT 3MPH IT DECIDED TO LEAP FORWARD VIOLENTLY ALMOST CAUSING HER TO CRASH INTO THE CAR IN THE SPOT IN FRONT. DCC ARE PICKING UP THE TAB FOR THE RENTAL OF A JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WHILE THIS ONE'S FATE IS DECIDED... PLEASE UPDATE MY FILE TO INCLUDE THE ABOVE INCIDENT IF YOU HAVE TIME AND I WILL KEEP YOU POSTED MATE,...

SATURDAY 25TH FEBRUARY AND GUESS WHAT- YEP THE JEEP HAS A NEW TRICK TO ADD TO IT'S ALREADY GROWING LIST OF ELECTRICAL FAULTS, (ODI#10151913&10148480) PLEASE CAN YOU ADD THE FOLLOWING TO MY LONG LIST OF COMPLAINTS . AT APPROXIMATELY 12.45PM 2/25/06 I WAS PARKED OUTSIDE THE RT44 BRANCH OF THE ULSTER SAVINGS BANK, HAVING JUST GONE IN THERE TO CASH A CHECK, I CAME OUT AND ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE, TURNED THE IGNITION KEY- NOTHING, NO LIGHTS ZERO RESPONSE, TRIED AGAIN- STILL NOTHING. I REMOVED THE KEY PUT IT BACK IN THE IGNITION, STILL NOTHING. GOT OUT WALKED AROUND IN DISGUST, GOT BACK IN AND TURNED THE KEY ONCE MORE AND THIS TIME IT FIRED UP FIRST TIME. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED HYDE PARK MOTORS SERVICE DEPT AND SPOKE TO KERRY THERE, I ASKED IF THERE WAS ANYTHING TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT AND HE TOLD ME NO PROVIDING IT DIDN'T TURN THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT ON, WHICH IT HAD NOT DONE. SPOKE TO PETE THE SERVICE GUY AT HYDE PARK MOTORS IT TURNS OUT THAT THE NOT STARTING WHEN THE KEY IS TURNED ISSUE IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO A FRONT POWER TRAIN MODULE PROBLEM THAT DC ARE AWARE OF.

COULD YOU ADD THE TO MY JEEP COMPLAINT (ODI#10148480) THE SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT ISSUE IS APPARENTLY A SENSOR THAT DETECTS' NEGATIVE WEIGHT 'IN THE SEAT, SO NOW DCC HAVE INVENTED ARTIFICIAL GRAVITY AS WELL, BUT I'M SHOCKED NOT TO SEE THAT CLAIM IN THEIR MARVELOUS TV ADVERTS- TEE HEE.

I WAS DRIVING MY NEW 2006 JEEP COMMANDER LIMITED HOME FROM A CHILDREN'S PARTY AT APPROXIMATELY 8:30 PM ON CHRISTMAS EVE AND WAS TRAVELING NORTHBOUND ON THE TACONIC STATE PARKWAY AT 54 MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED. THE VEHICLE CUT OUT COMPLETELY(STALL), IT LOST ALL ELECTRICAL POWER, THE HEADLIGHTS AND ALL INTERIOR LIGHTING WENT OUT, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. FORTUNATELY I WAS TRAVELING AT THE TIME ON A STRAIGHT SECTION OF ROAD AND THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS ON THE ROAD. I WENT DOWN AND SWITCHED THE IGNITION KEY TO THE OFF POSITION AND IMMEDIATELY BACK TO THE ON POSITION AND THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AND ALL THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. MY WIFE WAS SITTING IN THE SECOND ROW OF SEATS WITH OUR 10 MONTH OLD BABY AND SHE WITNESSED EVERYTHING AND CONFIRMS WHAT I EXPERIENCED. A WEEK AGO THE VEHICLE DID THE SAME THING , BUT THIS TIME I WAS STATIONARY IN A LOCAL SHOPPING MALL PARKING LOT, ENGINE CUT OUT AND THE LIGHTS WENT OFF, AND THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY RESTARTED WHEN I TURNED THE KEY. THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AGAIN TODAY WITH MY WIFE DRIVING IT, SHE HAD STOPPED AND LEFT THE ENGINE RUNNING TO RETRIEVE SOMETHING FROM THE FLOOR, AND WHEN SHE WENT TO PULL AWAY THE VEHICLE WAS SHUTDOWN THE DEALERSHIP HAS ORDERED A NEW FRONT POWER TRAIN MODULE FOR THIS VEHICLE, AND THAT WILL BE FITTED TOMORROW MORNING AT 10:30 AM .THIS NOW REPRESENTS THE THIRD SEPARATE CHRYSLER VEHICLE AND SIXTH POWER TRAIN COMPUTER. CHRYSLER DID A BUY BACK' FROM ME IN DECEMEBER 2005 ON MY 2005 DURANGO, WHICH AFTER 6 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP, FROM NEW HAD CUT OUT APPROXIMATELY 7 TIMES . MY PREVIOUS DODGE VEHICLE WAS A 2003, RAM PICKUP WITH THE 5.7 LITER WHICH EXHIBITED ALL THE SAME PROBLEMS , BUT ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HAVE A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT WHEN IT SHUTOFF PULLING ON O A LOCAL PARKWAY. FORTUNATELY, I PULLED THE SHIFTER INTO NEUTRAL AND STEERING ON TO THE SHOULDER, BUT WE WERE ALMOST HIT BY ANOTHER CAR THAT WAS TRAVELING UP THE PARKWAY.*AK

I WAS DRIVING MY NEW 2006 JEEP COMMANDER, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION 6 CYL ENGINE. I AM 6'4.25" TALL AND WEIGH 205 LBS. I HAVE PROPORTIONATELY SIZED LIMBS AND APPENDAGES. I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 35 MPH ON A ROAD NEAR MY HOUSE AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE CAR TURNED OFF. THE KEY WAS BRUSHED BY MY KNEE AND THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY QUIT. THERE IS NO WAY FOR ME TO FIT IN THE SEAT AND PUT THE SEAT FAR ENOUGH BACK THAT THERE IS NO RISK OF THE KEY TURNING OFF WHILE STILL LETTING MY ARMS REACH THE WHEEL. THE KEY PROTRUDES DIRECTLY PERPENDICULARLY OUT OF THE DASH, INTERCEPTING MY KNEE DEAD ON FROM THE FRONT. I HAD DRIVEN THE CAR FOR OVER 100 MILES BEFORE THIS EVER HAPPENED. THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN THIS MORNING. COME TO THINK OF IT, THE NEW JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE THAT MY FRIEND HAS, THIS HAS HAPPENED TOO. THE PLACEMENT OF THE IGNITION SWITCH, COMBINED WITH ITS ANGLE ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE SLIGHTLY LARGE SIZE OF THE KEY FOB MAKE THIS A BIG RISK FOR TALLER DRIVERS LIKE MYSELF. THE KEY ONLY BARELY HAS TO BE GRAZED (I COULD NOT FEEL IT HAPPENING) AND THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF (WHILE IN MOTION!) AND HAS TO BE PUT INTO PARK IN ORDER TO BE RESTARTED. I THINK THAT EVENTUALLY SOMEONE WILL HAVE AN ACCIDENT KEEPING CONTROL OF THEIR CAR WHEN IT UNITENTIONALLY SHUTS OFF ON THEM, NOW IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME 3 TIMES WITHIN ABOUT 200 MILES, AND LIKE I SAID, THERE IS NO PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE WAY FOR ME TO ADJUST THE SEAT SO THAT MY ARMS REACH THE WHEEL AND ME KNEE DOES NOT REACH THE KEY. THIS SEEMS DANGEROUS AND I WANTED TO BRING IT TO YOUR ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY SO THAT CHRYSLER CAN MODIFY THE DESIGN OF EITHER THE KEY FOB OR THE IGNITION SWITCH IN ORDER TO PREVENT PEOPLE FROM CAUSING DAMAGE TO THEMSELVES OR THEIR VEHICLE. THANKS, RYAN WEATHERBY. *NM
