| PE07009 | CHRYSLER GROUP LLC | 02/12/2007 | 04/27/2007 | ENGINE STALL | ||
| Odi has received 76 vehicle owner complaints alleging incidents of engine stall while driving in model year (my) 2006 through 2007 jeep commander vehicles (subject vehicles).some of the complaints reported one or more incidents of engine stall with a simultaneous loss of some or all lighting systems, including headlamps.two engine stalls resulted in a vehicle crash.in its response to a request for information, daimlerchrysler corporation (dcc) indicated that it has not determined the cause of engine stalling in the subject vehicles and that it hasformed a multi-disciplinary task force to investigate the issue. this investigation has been upgraded to an engineering analysis (ea07-007) to further assess the frequency, scope and potential safety consequences of the alleged defect. | ||||||

| 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. | ||||||

| While driving on an interstate at 65mph my check engine light came on, a message stating service parking assist system appeared, and drnp was blocked on the front dash. the vehicle lost power and acceleration and began to feel as if the emergency brake was applied at full force. i pulled off the highway, turned the car off and back on and the check engine light remains on. online research suggests this is a common problem involving the electronic shifting module and/or connection issues with the rear parking assist sensors. this pervasive problem should be rectified with a recall at no cost to customers. | |||

| On multiple occasions my 2007 jeep commander with 4.7 liter v8 has stalled without warning. it has happened at idle, while slowing, while accelerating, and while driving at freeway speeds (60-70 mph). each time it has restarted after taking the transmission out of gear, turning the key to the off position, and restarting the engine. this is potentially very dangerous if it happens under the wrong circumstances since you, of course, unexpectedly lose power assist on both brakes and steering when the engine dies. *tr | |||

| After a schedule tune up, where two coil packs were replaced, and a pcm software update was performed our 2007 jeep commander began stalling at slow speeds. usually under 20 mph or at a stop when the engine is at or near idle speeds, the engine will obruptly stall without warning. there is no check engine light and no error code. our local jeep dealer has made several repair attempts including replacing the pcm, and shielding the engine wiring harness with aluminum foil. the problem continues. the key must be cycled to the 'off' position to restart the engine. the engine has stalled at high speeds a few times making for a very dangerous situation. *tr | |||

| I was driving home from picking up my daughter from a school event when suddenly my car slowed down on its own down to 10 mph. then the car completely stopped. on the control console it only read service park assist and the drive position controls where all highlighted and boxed out (drnp). i lost all control of the vehicle other than turning the wheel. i tried to accelerate by pressing the gas and it just revved the engine and did nothing else. i swerved off the road and hit a median that took out the tire and left damage to the left of the car under carriage. i had to shift the gear into park and back to drive in order for the car to start up again. i took the car to a local jeep chrysler dodge service depot and had it ran for a diagnostic for at which time they told me that it was a common issue found in this model and earlier models and that it wasn't covered by the power train that the vehicle would need $1100.00 in repairs to fix an electronic transformer shift modulator. i had just purchased the car on october 31 from a jeep chrysler dodge dealership and less than three weeks later the car is for crap. and the dealership refused to fix the problem and jeep has not issued a recall for this issue but they have for the 2006 model. this problem is life threatening. it can occur at anytime at any speed. if i were on a expressway my children and i would probably be dead. jeep needs to be pursed for this issue and forced to fix the damage on any vehicles reporting this issue. you can also refer to claims 10379415 10381239. there are also hundreds more complaints online at sites like jeepcommander.com. *tr | |||

| I have had my 07 jeep commander (3.6 v6) since january 2008. i have notice numerous times while driving from a complete stop, that my vehicle will lose power and start to sputter when i try to apply the gas and the car moves very slow as in less than 20mph. this has happened to me numerous times and makes me very uncomfortable driving knowing that my car can stop and leave me vulnerable to being rear-ended at intersections or common stops. i notice when this happens that my vehicle cluster displays service park assist and the service park assist light comes on uncontrollably and at the same time my dash/ cluster also displays ( [p][r][n][d] ) all at once as if the vehicle does not know what gear it is in. this is not acceptable for a vehicle that is supposed to provide a safe driving experience. i also find it very disappointing that numerous people all over the united states and internet/ forums all have this problem and chrysler tries to narrow it down to a select year. model. and engine. my vehicle has the same issues as the previous recall for the 2007 4.7 v8 engines, yet chrysler ignores the community of jeep commander owners with the 3.6 v6 engine that have the same problem. there is also a tsb (18-004-09 rev. a) that describes the clunking and hesitation you feel when trying to get up to speed. this is not something a customer should have to pay for. my vehicle is a 2007 with less than 40,000 miles on it and i should be able to enjoy my vehicle safely during this time period. another problem is that the vehicle does this at random so you can't just take it to the dealership and show them the problem. i'm sure they would gladly take my money and let me spend 1000+ dollars for new parts, but i have an 8yr/80,000 mile warranty purchased from chrysler and will not pay for diagnostic after diagnostic to try and replicate a problem that is clearly there... *tr | |||

| Problem started with vehicle losing power on acceleration from dead stop. it did that twice before the check engine light came on as i was pulling out into heavy traffic. immediately took it to garage which determined code were u0404 (implausible data received from esm), p0607 (ecu internal performance) and b1a28 (ecm mismatch with skm). dealers had two shifter/esm assemblies in stock. that tells me this is a common problem as i have read on the internet that it is. this vehicle is pampered and only driven about 5k per year, mostly when i got to our hunting camp up state. repair cost $1,130.99. chrysler needs to pony up with a recall and fix this issue without cost as well as reimburse those of us who have already paid to have the defect fixed. someone could be injured or killed as a result of this defect. *tr | |||

| We bought this 2007 jeep commander 2 years ago and have had problems with the electronic shift module (esm) along the whole way. the vehicle's check engine light comes on followed by all of the shift locations on the dash lighted up. next the service park assist system warning on the dash. the next thing is the engine bogs down and you cannot go over 20 mph. we pull off the road and restart the engine and continue on until it happens again. this is a major design flaw as it has almost caused 2 potentially fatal car accidents on the highway with my wife and baby. please take care of this asap as i cannot afford the $1400 dollar repair to fix the esm that could end my wife and baby's life. | |||

| While driving down the road the jeep shut off, complete loss of power, brakes and steering then after a few seconds turned back on. this had happened 4 times within 10 mile. this is not the first time that this has happened. i had taken it to the dealership so they could plug it into their computer. the results were negative and could not find any problems. searching online, there are several other jeep owners that are having the same problem. there needs to be a recall on these vehicles before someone gets hurt or killed. | |||

| This problem began in the fall of 2008. typically, after shifting the car into drive, the car would not accelerate past idle speed, have a moderate bucking, all gear selector lights on the dash were boxed in, and an error message would read service park assist system. the problem was serviced under warranty. the dealership checked wires and connectors, and replaced the bezel assembly on shifter. this seemed to solve the problem until recently. beginning a few months ago, around the beginning of 2012, i am having the same problem with the exact same symptoms: all gear selector lights illuminated, no acceleration for 10-15 seconds, and service park assist system message. the problem occurs almost always in the morning on the way to work, school, etc.. it has never lasted longer than 15-20 seconds on any day, and seems to occur approximently one to two times per week, over the last 4 weeks. i have an appointment later this week at a dealer to check out the problem. but reading several internet sources, this obviously not an isolated issue, as there are many accounts of the same problem. | |||

| While driving 65 mph on the interstate, vehicle lost power. dash display message appeared service park assist system and vehicle gear display indicated the p r n d were all illuminated. the engine stayed running but would not respond to the gas pedal, decelerating. turned on hazard lights and pulled over, placed vehicle in park, shifted to drive, and continued as normal. a short time later, the check engine light came on. the problem is intermittent, and has happened many times since then and in many different driving situations. for example, after pulling into traffic on a highway, the vehicle would not accelerate, causing the traffic behind to nearly slam into us. if acceleration had been available as normal, this would not have been an issue. another example, the problem happened during heavy rush hour interstate traffic, causing the need to cross several lanes to reach a breakdown lane. it has happened immediatley upon starting the vehicle and after the vehicle has been running normally for a long time. it is very unpredictable. the vehicle is dangerous and cannot be trusted to provide power or acceleration when it is needed. private shop checked the fault codes and replaced the transmission control module which did not fix the problem. internet research shows this exact problem with these exact symptoms is common and widespread in the 2007 jeep commander and appears to indicate a faulty electronic shifter module. chrysler response to the problem is hit and miss, some dealers acknowledging they have seen this before, others claiming they have never seen it and the problem is isolated and not widespread. there needs to be a safety recall on this dangerous issue before someone is hurt or killed, if they have not already. we used this vehicle to transport our children and now we can't even trust it to safely get us to the shop to have it repaired. | |||

| My 2007 jeep commander turns off o me when i'm at stop signs or slowing down without any warning. today i went in for an oil change and told the service advisor about the problem. he acted like that was the first time he has heard about the issue. he asked me how often it happens and i said a few times a week. he then said that the vehicle would have to be brought in while it's happening. really!!!! how am i suppose to take it in when it happens or before it happens! the vehicle doesn't warn me and it turns in right away as if nothing has ever happened! it is so frustrating!! i've had it for less than a year and we are already experiencing problems! i don't feel safe driving the vehicle with my baby! i've read all the complaints about the same issue!! this needs to be fixed! i think this vehicle is a lemon! | |||

| The prnd gears lit up with boxes around them - the service parking assist brake came on as well.... i could not accelerate at all after the light turned green - had to turn on hazard lights and turn vehicle off and back on - worked fine for 10 minutes or so and then the check engine light came on, it has been on ever since. called the dealership about this they asked me to bring it in for diagnosing, but hesitant because of all the same kind of stories that i have read on this issue. going to have to give in though, this is a major safety concern of mine now... have not seen a recall for this even though someone can certainly have a devastating accident, not willing to take that chance... love my vehicle, but now i hate the aggravation that this is causing.. with all the horror stories with the same sort of issue you would think that jeep would take care of this, i guess that this is why they discontinued the commander? | |||

| I have a 2007 jeep commander and it is less than four years old and i have had the starter replaced 4 times. jeep can't explain why they can't fully fix the problem and they refuse to acknowledge that this is an issue with the commanders at large and not my specific vehicle. in addition to having had the starter replaced 4 times, i have also had the electronic shifting module replaced as well and the crankshaft. my commander has less than 40,000 miles on it and has been well maintained since i purchased it brand new. jeep has failed to address my concerns and refuses to accept responsibility for selling me a vehicle. jeep suggested i purchase a new vehicle and i find this preposterous due to the fact that the car is less than four years old. the commander is clearly defective and jeep needs to take responsibility for it. instead, jeep refuses to accept responsibility and they decided to rectify the problem by halting production. | |||

| Leaving a parking lot and accelerating as i drove. all of the sudden the vehicle started stalling and would not accelerate even if the gas pedal was pushed. the check engine light came on as well. then the vehicle started accelerating back to normal, but the check engine light reamined on. i took it to auto zone to have a diagnostic check done and they gave me a code and said that it was not a part that they carried only from the manufacturer. it has happened a couple of times before today and on the dash it would say service park assist and the gears prndl are all highlighted.the same thing happened to me about 2 years ago and it was the shifter. it only had about 40,000 miles. it had to be completely replaced. it was not covered by my extended warranty because it was an external part of the transmission. it cost close to $600.00. now it is happening again and i don't want to replace it again if it is going to happen again in a year or two. | |||

| Transmission stalling while driving- according the dealership service this is a problem with the electronic shift module. this has happened several times and is also a noted problem in these vehicles. this same vehicle has already been recalled for similar issue, but only for the bigger engine size. chrysler has informed me that they will not investigate even though it is the same problem in a different engine size. the vehicle can be traveling at 70 mph on the interstate and stall without warning. it will not go any further without stopping, turning off the engine and restarting. this happens several times daily. i have tried to get fixed and work with the problem, but after almost being rearended by an 18wheeler on the interstate today, enough is enough. it is for 2007 jeep commander 3.7lt. *tr | |||

| Tl*the contact owns a 2007 jeep commander. while driving 45 mph, the vehicle stalled. the contact attempted to restart the vehicle, but was unsuccessful. on a separate occasion, while driving less than 15 mph, the driver attempted to pull into a parking space and all of the electrical components failed. he was able to restart the vehicle, but once it was placed into reverse, the failure recurred. in addition, the check engine warning indicator illuminated on the instrument panel once the vehicle was restarted. the vehicle was taken to a local dealer, but they could not duplicate the failures. the dealer suggested not to drive the vehicle and stated that the failures may have been related to grounding in the wiring system. no repairs have been made to date. the failure and current mileages were less than 38,000. | |||

| This is my 2nd complaint to you guys about this frightening and dangerous issue of my jeep commander engine stalling problems. i almost had another accident by driving 35 mph and the engine just stalls, power and lighting flashes on and off, then fails. no power over the car and the steering wheel locks up! the car behind me had to veer sharply to keep from running into the back of me. it was an unexpected stall for other vehicles as well as myself. i have tried to get help, but to no avail. i am scared to continue to drive this dangerous auto and need some help either replacing it or jeep to take it back! also, it still jerks forward, (with my foot on the brake!) while i'm sitting at a light, almost hitting the pedestrians walking in the crosswalk in front of me. there are many complaints on the internet with very similar and like complaints and no one is doing anything about it. i guess they're waiting for a tragedy, instead of trying to prevent one. please advise. *tr | |||

| I own a 2007 jeep commander at about 10,000 miles it started to stall and turn off. dealer did not replace any parts only flushed the on board computer and updated the software. months later it started to do the same thing. dealer did not find anything wrong and performed the same task of flushing the computer and updating its software. two years and 23,000 miles and the car is having the same problem. i have an extended warranty so i'm going back to the dealer, but i don't think they we fix the problem . tr | |||
