WHILE DRIVING MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER IN A VERY CROWDED PARKING LOT, IT COMPLETELY STALLED WITHOUT WARNING!! THE CAR BEHIND ME HAD TO MAKE A VERY SUDDEN STOP TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WENT OUT AND I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTART IT. THIS SAME THING OCCURRED WHEN MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING IT APPROX. ONE MONTH AGO, BUT WE WRONGLY ATTRIBUTED IT TO THE CAR HAVING ONLY A QUARTER TANK OF GAS IN IT AT THE TIME. I HAVE 8 YEAR OLD TRIPLETS THAT DEPEND ON THIS CAR DAILY AND I WILL NOT PUT THEIR SAFETY AT RISK!! PLEASE HELP US SCARED COMMANDER OWNERS TO MAKE CHRYSLER DO THE RIGHT THING BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR EVEN KILLED. THANK YOU. *JB

MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER STALLS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND HAS TO BE RESTARTED IN MOTION. IT ALSO STALLS IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS AND WHILE SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AT LEAST 4 TIMES AND IT HAS HAPPENED AT 70MPH AT LEAST TWICE. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. THE DEALER HAS DONE ALL THEY CAN TO TRY TO FIX IT BUT CAN NEVER RECREATE THE PROBLEM. IT STOPPED FOR ABOUT 6-8 MONTHS BUT YESTERDAY THEY HAD TO REPLACE MY BATTERY AND IT STARTED ALL OVER AGAIN. IT HAS DONE IT 3 TIME IN THE LAST 24HRS WITH MY CHILDERN IN THE CAR. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS POSTS REGARDING THE SAME PROBLEM AND CAN'T BELIEVE A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED. I GUESS SOMEONE HAS TO BE INJURED OR WORSE. *TR

MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER KEEPS DYING WHEN I'M DRIVING IT! I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES OVER THE LAST 2 YEARS AND THEY TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE BECAUSE THEY CAN'T "DUPLICATE MY PROBLEM". I HAVE FILED FOR THE LEMON LAW AND MY HEARING IS TOMORROW. I HOPE TO GET OUT OF THIS VEHICLE BEFORE DISASTER STRIKES MY FAMILY OR ANOTHER TEXAS FAMILY THAT MAY BE ON THE ROAD THE SAME TIME I AM. *JB

I PURCHASED A JEEP COMMANDER IN DECEMBER 2005. RIGHT OFF I STARTED HAVING ELECTRICAL AND WATER LEAKING PROBLEMS WITH MY JEEP. THE VEHICLE WOULD MYSTERIOUSLY TURN OFF WHILE IDLING AND WOULD ACCELERATE QUICKLY FOR NO REASON. IN MARCH I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN COMPLAINING ABOUT THE DEFECTS. THE BIGGEST COMPLAINT AT THE TIME WAS WHEN YOU OPEN YOUR DOOR TO GET IN YOU LITERALLY GET A FOOT SOAKING!!!!!!!!! THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT RESOLVE ANY OF THE ISSUES THAT I HAD. THEY EVEN LAUGHED WHEN I ASKED THEM WHAT TO DO ABOUT THE DOOR AND SAID I BETTER GET USED TO IT BECAUSE JEEP WAS NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. IN JUNE OF 2006 MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEPT COMING ON AND I WAS STILL HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRICAL. I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF MOVING AND DECIDED TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO A DIFFERENT DEALER. THE DEALER AT THAT TIME TOLD ME NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT THAT IT WAS A MINOR REPAIR AND THEY COULD FIX IT WHEN I SETTLED IN. SO ON THE 16TH OF SEPTEMBER I RELEASED MY VEHICLE TO DAVE SMITH AUTO FOR REPAIR. I TOLD THEM I WANTED THE LEAKING DOORS (NOW THE PASSENGER DOOR WAS LEAKING AS WELL) FIXED OR REPLACED, WHILE THEY WERE FIXING THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THEIR SHOP FOR A WHOLE MONTH!! THEY COULD NOT GET PARTS FROM JEEP AND THEY COULD NOT FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX THE DOORS. JEEP TOLD THEM IT IS THE STRUCTURE OF THE VEHICLE AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY WOULD DO ABOUT IT. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO ME ON OCTOBER 13TH , ON SATURDAY THE 14TH MY FAMILY WAS RETURNING HOME WHEN WE LOST ALL

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE STALLED ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. AFTER THE FIRST TWO, THE SERVICE DEALER REPLACED THE FRONT CONTROL MODULE. AFTER THE THIRD INCIDENT THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED WHO OFFERED TO SEND A TECHNICIAN TO ANALYZE THE PROBLEM. UPDATED 10/17/2006 - THE FIRST TIME THE VEHICLE STALLED THE VEHICLE WAS IN DRIVE AND THE CONSUMER'S FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE. THE SECOND TIME THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE BEING DRIVE 50 MPH. THE THIRD TIME THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE REVERSING OUT OF A PARING SPACE AND THIS WAS AFTER THE FRONT CONTROL MODULE HAD BEEN REPLACED. THE FOURTH TIME THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HE DEALER *NM

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

ENGINE STALLS AND SHUTS OFF WHEN DRIVING. *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 OWNE

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
