I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE SINCE NEW AND HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING INFREQUENT AND USUALLY MOMENTARY ENGINE STALLS WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FOR YEARS. EACH TIME THERE WAS A SLIGHT CLUNK SOUND AND LURCH FORWARD - AS IF THE CRUISE CONTROL HAD JUST DISCONNECTED, AND WITHIN A SECOND OR SO EVERYTHING WOULD BE BACK TO NORMAL. BUT ON A RECENT TRIP I HAD THREE INCIDENTS OVER TWO DAYS WHICH WERE MUCH WORSE, PERHAPS BECAUSE THEY ALL OCCURRED AT TEMPERATURES AROUND 0 DEGREES F.OR BELOW. IN TWO INCIDENTS, WHILE DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE AT A STEADY 75MPH, INSTEAD OF THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY RECOVERING, IT TOOK LONG ENOUGH THAT THE VEHICLE HAD SLOWED DOWN TO 30-35MPH BEFORE THE ENGINE RESTARTED ITSELF. IN ONE INCIDENT ALSO WHILE DRIVING AT A STEADY 75MPH ON AN INTERSTATE THE ENGINE DID NOT RECOVER AND I HAD TO PULL OFF ONTO THE SHOULDER AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP WITH NO POWER. I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN AND THE ENGINE RESTARTED IMMEDIATELY. I HAD NO LOSS OF ELECTRICAL POWER DURING THESE INCIDENTS, AND I HAVE NOTHING DANGLING FROM NOR COULD I HAVE BUMPED THE IGNITION KEY. I HAVE ALWAYS MAINTAINED THE VEHICLE ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE SCHEDULE AND HAVE HAD ALL RECALLS PERFORMED, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE LATEST ONE FOR WHICH THE DEALER STILL HAS NOT RECEIVED THE PARTS FROM JEEP. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO A JEEP DEALERSHIP THE SAME DAY AS THE SECOND AND THIRD INCIDENTS AND THEY SAID THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. I ASKED THEM IF POSSIBLY THE POWER CONTROLLER MODULE RECALL NEEDED TO BE DONE A SECOND TIME, AND THEY RESPONDED THAT JEEP WOULD NOT PERMIT THAT. *TR

DRIVING HOME FROM MEETING APPROX 10PM. ALL SEEMED TO BE RUNNING SMOOTHLY. SUDDEN 'CLUNK' NOISE FROM ENGINE COMPARTMENT. ENGINE STALLED. COASTED TO SIDE OF ROAD. ALL DASH LIGHTS CAME ON AS THEY DO AT ENGINE STARTUP...INDICATING ENGINE NOT RUNNING. ONCE STOPPED PLACED VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL. TURNED OFF KEY AND TURNED BACK ON. ENGINE STARTED IMMEDIATELY AND I COMPLETED MY TRIP WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. THE KEY DID NOT FALL OUT NOR DO I HAVE ANYTHING ATTACHED TO IT. THIS IS THE 5.7LITER ENGINE. A REVIEW OF THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET ONCE HOME HAS RETURNED 100S OF COMPLAINTS FROM PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH NO DEALER RESOLUTION IN ANY OF THE CASES I READ. I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS IS RELATED TO THE OUTSTANDING KEY ISSUE. I PURCHASED THIS CAR YESTERDAY SO I CANNOT SPEAK TO WHETHER IT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE. THIS COULD BE A VERY SERIOUS SITUATION WERE IT TO HAPPEN IN COMMUTE TIME TRAFFIC. I SEE THE STALLING ISSUE ON YOUR LIST WITH ALL THE ENGINES USED IN THE COMMANDER BUT I SEE NO RESOLUTION. THIS WAS FROM 2007. WHAT HAS HAPPENED WITH THIS? *TR

ON AT LEAST 4 OCCASIONS MY JEEP HAS STALLED (NOT SURE OF DATES). IT HAS HAPPENED MAINLY WHEN I TRY TO START MOVING FROM A STOP. IT HAS NOT STALLED WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS. I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS AN AIR LOCK OR BAD GAS BUT AFTER READING THE MANY COMPLAINTS AND DANGEROUS SITUATIONS I SEE IT MUST BE THE IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM. I HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED BY CHRYSLER I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT IT WHEN MY JEEP WAS IN FOR REPAIRS ON ANOTHER PROBLEM. I RESEARCH THIS THEN CALLED THE DEALER AND HE SAID YES THERE IS A PROBLEM BUT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS JUST WAIT TILL THEY COME IN THEN CHRYSLER WILL SEND ME A NOTICE. THEY HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS FOR YEARS. IS THIS GOING TO BE ANOTHER GM TYPE SITUATION WITH PEOPLE KILLED. LETS GET THE PARTS AND FIX THEM. *TR

VEHICLE HAS TURNED OFF MULTIPLE TIMES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS CAUSING NEAR FATAL COLLISIONS, DASH BOARD WOULD LIGHT UP COMPLETELY AND BLINK ON AND OFF AS IF THE KEY WERE TURNED OFF AND ON. WE MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS SUFFICIENT CLEARANCE FROM THE KEY TO OUR KNEES AND WE HAVE NEVER ACCIDENTALLY HIT THE IGNITION. WE HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN APPROX. 15-20 TIMES OVER THE LAST YEAR AND THE MOST RECENT TIME LAST WEEK WITH BOTH OUR 8 AND 9 YEAR OLDS IN THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY. WE NEED SOME HELP ON RESOLVING THIS ISSUE AND WE ARE AFRAID THAT WE WILL HAVE AN ACCIDENT IF THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. *TR
