2007 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4 Complaints

THE VEHICLE WILL LOSE ALL POWER WHILE DRIVING AND STALL. NONE OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS WILL WORK AND SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL NOT START BACK UP. THE RECALL FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPLACED BUT THIS PROBLEM STILL HAPPENS. IT HAS BEEN RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE WITH NO ACTUAL FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. WHEN THE SYSTEM FAILS, ALL THE DASH LIGHTS AND FAULTS LIGHTS FLASH ON AND OFF BEFORE SHUTTING DOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AS WELL AS NOT STARTING AFTER TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE. IT HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE NOW FOR A FEW YEARS NOW WITH NO FIX FOR THE PROBLEM SINCE. *TR

AFTER HAVING IGNITION SWITCH FIXED DUE TO RECALL AND BATTERY, ALTERNATOR AND STARTER CHECKED, WE CAN NOT FIND AN ISSUES. IT WAS SERVICED BY A JEEP DEALER. MY JEEP WILL NOT START OR WILL START AND THEN AFTER PARKING, WILL NOT START AGAIN. IT LEAVES ME STRANDED IN PARKING LOTS AND WHEREVER I PARK IT. THIS ONLY HAPPENS AFTER PARKING AND TURNING JEEP OFF.

MY STORY IS THE FDCM WAS UPDATED WITH THE P73 UPDATE AT A DEALERSHIP IN LITTLE ROCK ARKANSAS, I HAD TO TAKE IT BACK TWICE BECAUSE THE SERVICE 4WD DRIVE LIGHT CAME ON AFTER THE UPDATE. THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE UPDATE. I LIVE IN ALABAMA AND NOW I WAS TOLD BY THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP THAT THE TRANSFER CASE IS WORN OUT. I BELIVE THEY ONLY TOLD ME THAT BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T WANT TO WORK ON IT. I CARE LITTLE ABOUT TRYING TO GET SOMETHING FIXED THAT FIRST OF ALL I HAVE NO LDEA WHAT THE PROBLEM IS OR WHATS NEEDED TO REPAIR IT OTHER THAN TRADING IN THE VEHICLE. I HAVE PURCHASED 5 JEEPS IN THE PAST 20 YEARS. THIS ONE WILL BE THE LAST.

TAKATA RECALL. I RECIEVED A RECALL ON MY JEEP COMMANDER ABOUT 8 MONTHS AGO CONCERNING ENGINE SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING AND POTENTIALLY ENDANGERING MY FAMILY AS WELL AS OTHERS. THE RECALL STATED WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLE WE WOULD RECIEVE A SECOND RECALL TO FIX THE TROUBLE. ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE SHUT OFF ON ME AND I ALMOST HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. I WAS MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN WHEN IT SHUT OFF AND LOST STEERING AND BRAKES. I ENDED UP HAVING IT TOWED HOME BY TRIPPLE A AND NOW IT WILL NOT START. NO FAULT CODES PRESENT. AFTER READING THOUSANDS OF ONLINE REPORTS OF SAME TROUBLE AND JEEP CHRYSLER APPARENTLY NOT WILLING TO ADDRESS ISSUE WHAT DO I DO. IF I DID GET IT TO RUN I WOULD BE AFRAID TO DRIVE IT OR MY WIFE FOR FEAR OF ENDANGERING HER OR MY TWO YOUNG CHILDREN. PLEASE HELP ALL CONCERNED

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.
