This morning I was driving into work, when my car wasn't getting enough power to move. Each time I would give it gas, it would sputter at me. This has been a constant problem since I bought a year ago... I would like to know what the problem IS so I can fix it

While driving at night I thought I could hear a scraping noise. I promptly rolled down my window and continued to accelerate slowly. I didn't hear the noise so proceeded home. A few miles later I pulled into my drive and a police officer pulled up to tell me metal was loose under my vehicle and shooting sparks out of the rear. The next morning I checked and a large piece of rusted metal was hanging by a thread so I removed it. I made an appointment to have the vehicle inspected and was shown that 2 of the 3 straps holding my gas tank in place were completely gone and the third IS broken and rusted through. My vehicle IS unsafe to drive and I had no idea. I looked to see if this was a recall issue and it IS not. I searched to see if this IS a common problem and found that it IS extremely common across the entire jeep line. If my gas tank were to separate or be punctured it could not only cause an explosion killing me and my family but could kill/seriously injure anyone on the road behind me. I have absolutely no recourse to resolve this issue. I can't afford the dealership amount which IS more than the vehicle IS worth. How IS this not a recall issue?

Jeep loses power and shuts down while driving in city and on the highway at random speeds. Also will shut down while stationary. Causes loss of power steering and brakes. Check engine light has not come on. The only way to restart IS to fully place in park and completely remove the key. Violent shut down and transmission IS not shifting correctly. I have had the asd relay replaced and wiring checked with no fix. Very dangerous with my 3 year old in the car.

TL* the contact owns a 2007 jeep commander 4X4. While driving approximately 25 mph, the vehicle hesitated when the accelerator pedal was depressed and stalled. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The contact waited approximately ten minutes and the vehicle restarted normally. The vehicle was driven to the contact's residence. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (zimmerman motors, 1301 market street, sunbury, pa 17801), but they could not determine the cause of the failure. The contact stated that the failure occurred every time the vehicle was driven for the past four months. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was taken to three independent mechanics, but the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 128,000.

Intermittent starting issue. The jeep will drive fine but once you turn it off it IS a coin toss whether it will start again. I have found that if you crawl underneath the jeep and push in on the yellow wire connected to the starter, it will immediately start. It IS obviously a poorly designed connector, as it IS obviously not weather proof but it IS in an area that needs to be water tight. I have seen many complaints about this same issue online, but when you call the dealerships they tell you they have never heard of this issue.

Final drive control module (fdcm). vehicle had N23 and P73 recalls completed. sometime later, lost 4WD low. returned to dealer for re flash per fca recall for life. upon investigation, they cannot access fdcm due to a short; part needs replaced. called fca multiple times and they will not cover as its hardware as opposed to software recall. there are many instances, in my research, where their recall causes the loss of 4WD low. fca knows their "fix" was for a hardware issue and they fail to cover it. owned jeeps a long time and I'm done. I have six children so they maybe they can do the math on what this will cost them over generations!

While driving at slow speeds, the vehicle stalls out, obviously resulting in a loss of power steering & brakes. This has happened 50+/- times over the last 2 years of my ownership. The problem has intensified over the last 2 weeks, but would always re start after shifting into park. Last night (10/8/2017) it happened again. This time while merging onto a highway at 55 mph. The vehicle suddenly lost power as I coasted to the side of the highway. This time it would not start & I had to have the vehicle towed. Through on-line research, this IS a common problem on the jeep commander (4.7L) dating back to when the vehicles were new. The fix for the problem varies greatly. Given the timeline for this problem, its obvious this IS a problem that daimler chrysler (now fiat chrysler USA) IS aware of & makes no attempt at a solution.

I was driving down the freeway and the engine down shifted hard and the engine light came on. I pulled over, turned my vehicle off, turned my vehicle back on, and it drove just fine. I went to get the engine light checked and the code that came back was the map sensor. I just replaced the map sensor two months prior.

My jeep IS losing power while driving. this has happened on numerous occasions and when I take it to be looked at, I can never get a straight answer. I continue being told it's transmission issue (transmission oil cooler, fluid, lines). My car slightly jerks into get when shifting from part to another gear, and the parking assist message flashes on. after reading all the similar complaints online it seems the issue may be with the shift module. with so many complaints it would be nice if this could be a recall and corrected.

I was driving on the freeway and all of a sudden the engine light turned on and my rpms dropped to zero. I pulled over, the power steering went out and the ability to brake went out. I turned the vehicle off and on and then it was fine, however, the engine light was still on. There were no codes when I went to a mechanic five minutes after the incident. this IS the second time this has happened.

Chrysler is conducting a safety recall of approximately 643,618 model year 2006-2007 Jeep Commander and model year 2005-2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles to address the problem of ignition turning off while driving (see NHTSA recall 14V-438 for more information).According to Chrysler, these vehicles may experience an 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 air bags.Most of the reported incidents occurred as a result of driver interaction with the ignition key.Based on the recall action taken by Chrysler, this Preliminary Evaluation is closed.Additionalinformation on this closing resume, and the investigation are in the PE14-017 public file available online at SaferCar.gov.The ODI reports cited above can be reviewed online at http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/owners/SearchNHTSAID under the following identification numbers: 10101116 10103300 10106060 10112589 10116788 10126986 10128093 10130780 10145501 10146213 10153018 10155291 10156396 10158165 10162933 10166746 10178559 10183305 10186545 10189530 10192237 10193106 10194092 10199552 10199986 10221500 10222283 10227253 10231011 10328609 10358324 10392364 10577532 10585326 10585976 10599142 10604990 10605091 10605209 10606494 10606610 10607043 10607614 10607785 10608196 10615565 10615671 10615761 10616124 10633266 10633313 10633724 10639371 10640010 10644827 10652526 10653000 10653382 10654009 10654139 10654809 10655095 10659448 10662220 10662703

On may 5, 2008, chrysler llc (chrysler) submitted a defect information report to nhtsa concerning an engine calibration issue that could result in engine stall in approximately 24,461 model year (my) 2006 jeep commander vehicles equipped with the 4.7L V-8 engine and built from february 25, 2005 through january 11, 2006.according to chrysler, the powertrain control module (pcm) was programmed with software that may allow the engine to stall during certain operating conditions.chrysler dealers will reprogram the pcm software in the recalled vehicles. Information provided by chrysler during pe07-009 and ea07-007 indicated that a revised engine calibration was implemented in production effective january 12, 2006 for the my 2006 jeep commander vehicles equipped with 4.7L V-8 engines.odi's analysis ofconsumer complaints, field reports and other data related to field experience with engine stalling in my 2006 through 2007 jeep commander vehicles equipped with 3.7L, 4.7L and 5.7L engines identified an elevated rate of stalling incidents in the my 2006 vehicles equipped with 4.7L engines that were manufactured before the calibration change.odi interviewed over 70 consumers who reported stalling incidents in early production my 2006 4.7L vehicles.information gathered from those interviews indicated that the stalling incidents were occurring at various speeds, often occurred during turns and typically occurred more than once.the interviews did not identify any concerns with restartability. Although the early my 2006 production vehicles with 4.7L engines make up only about 15 percent of all my 2006 through 2007 jeep commanders built by chrysler, they were responsible for 465 of the 854 reported stalling incidents (54%), 6 of the 12 crash incidents (50%) and the only injury claim.the stalling rate for the recalled vehicles IS 1.90 percent, almost 7 times greater than the rate in the remaining population (0.28 percent).chrysler's recall covers the vehicles with the elevated stalling rate.the remaining vehicles have relatively low rates of stalling and do not exhibit any signs of aggravating factors such as problems with restart. Odi also analyzed complaints alleging concerns with loss of lighting coincident to stalling incidents.this analysis identified seven stalling incidents where loss of exterior lighting was alleged.no specific cause was identified in these incidents and there was no discernible pattern regarding engine, vehicle production options, build range or failure trend. This investigation IS closed with chrysler's recall.
