2007 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4 Complaints

WHEN SHIFTING OUT OF PARK, JEEP WILL SHIFT HARD AND LIGHTS AROUND PRND ARE ILLUMINATED AND ERROR MESSAGE "SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM" IS DISPLAYED. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, YOU HAVE TO PUT CAR BACK IN PARK AND TURN IT TO THE OFF POSITION TO RESET. SOMETIMES THIS CLEARS IT,SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. AFTER ABOUT 4 TIMES IN A ROW, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON FOR DAYS AT A TIME. THIS ISSUE ALSO HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS IN DRIVE AND YOU ARE ACTUALLY DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IT HAS CAUSED ME TO BE REAR ENDED ONCE AND ALMOST REAR ENDED MANY MORE TIMES. LUCKILY WHEN I WAS REAR ENDED, WE WERE IN A PARKING LOT AND ONLY TRAVELING AT A SLOW SPEED SO THERE WAS NO DAMAGE/INJURIES. THIS IS BEGINNING TO HAPPEN ON A DAILY BASIS AND IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED DUE TO JEEP'S DENIAL THERE IS A PROBLEM AND REFUSAL TO FIX THE ISSUE. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR INTO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES BUT THEY ARE UNABLE TO RECREATE THE ISSUE AND THEREFORE SAY THERE IS NO PROBLEM. AN AUTO PARTS STORE WAS ABLE TO PULL A CODE ONE TIME (U0404) BUT COULDN'T DETERMINE THE MEANING BEHIND THE CODE AND COULDN'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE FOUND THROUGH A PRIOR GOOGLE SEARCH THAT THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED BEFORE AND THAT A PRIOR RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM. OF COURSE, MY CAR AND APPARENTLY EVERYONE ELSE'S WEREN'T PART OF THE RECALL AND ARE THEREFORE STILL NOT REPAIRED CONSIDERING THE PART TO FIX THE PROBLEM COSTS AROUND $1,000 BEFORE LABOR CHARGES! I HOPE SOMEONE CAN FORCE JEEP TO FIX THESE VEHICLES BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES THEIR LIFE BECAUSE OF IT! *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, JEEP ENGINE AND ALL ELECTRICAL AND POWER SYSTEMS SHUTOFF FOR A SECOND AND TURNED BACK ON. THIS HAPPENED A SECOND TIME A FEW MINUTES LATER GOING THE SAME SPEED. VERY DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING ON I75 THROUGH CINCINNATI WITH A LOT OF TRAFFIC. *TR

THE CAR TURNS OFF AT BUMPS, OR THE SLIGHTEST TOUCH OF THE IGNITION SWITCH. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND HAS CAUSED ME TO RUN OFF THE ROAD MANY TIMES. I HAVE CONTACTED SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS OVER THE YEARS AND NO ONE WILL FIX IT. THEY SAY THERE IS NO FIX. I FEEL MY LIFE IS IN DANGER. IF THE CAR JUST TURNS OFF AT THE WRONG TIME, IT WILL KILL ME AND OTHERS. WHY WILL NO ONE REPAIR THIS? FIND ME A DEALERSHIP THAT HAS THE F'ING PART BEFORE SOMEONE DIES!!!!! *TR

MY JEEP HAD AN ISSUE WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING 55 MILES PER HOUR. THE PARK DRIVE REVERSE AND NEUTRAL LIGHTS LIT UP AND I COULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE. I WAS REAR ENDED WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR. THIS IS THE MOST DANGEROUS VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED. I HAVE HAD I TO THE MECHANIC FOR REPAIR AND THE MECHANIC CALLED JEEP AND JEEP WAS NOT CLEAR ON HOW TO FIX IT. MY MECHANIC RESET MY COMPUTER AND IT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM FOR A LITTLE WHILE BUT NOW I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT. I AM TELLING EVERYONE WHO WILL LISTEN. THIS IS DANGEROUS. IT'S A BAD PRODUCT AND IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. I KNOW THAT PEOPLE NEED TO DIE BEFORE THEY DO SOMETHING. I AM JUST GLAD IT WASN'T ONE OF US TONIGHT. *TR

I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION FROM CHRYSLER AWHILE BACK THAT A DEFECT ON MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED. IT WAS A CASE OPENED IN JUNE, 2014 BY NHTSA FOR PE14017. CHRYSLER SAID NO SOLUTION HAD BEEN IDENTIFIED AT THE TIME THEY SENT THE LETTER BUT THE LOCAL DISTRIBUTOR WOULD REMEDY THE DEFECT WITHOUT CHARGE WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME. THE LOCAL DEALER HAS NOT HEARD ANYTHING FROM CHRYSLER. I DON'T KNOW WHAT "REASONABLE TIME" MEANS BUT WANTED TO ASK YOU HOW LONG YOU THINK I SHOULD NEED TO WAIT BEFORE A SOLUTION TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM WHICH CHRYSLER SAYS "MAY EXPERIENCE UNINTENDED CHANGE IN IGNITION SWITCH POSITION WHILE DRIVING WHICH MAY RESULT IN LOSS OF ENGINE POWER, POWER STEERING, AND BRAKING ASSIST INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH AND DISABLING ONE OR MORE OF THE VEHICLE'S SAFETY FEATURES INCLUDING THE FRONTAL AIRBAGS." THANK YOU. *TR
