| 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. | |||

| 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 | |||

| As of june 8th 2011 i bought my jeep used with approximately 42000 miles on it soon after it started having filling issues then for a while the issue ceased now about a month before date of stall listed above it started with the same filling issues except worse now causing it to not want to shift into gears as normal car would, kinda jerking in between shifts from different speeds and rpm increase and decrease. it has stalled on me twice now. the first time on the interstate at 70 mph with my 3 kids amd pregnant wife in the car causing all power functions to be lost and we almost got ran over by a transfer truck trying to get to the shoulder of the road. i had it look at and the throttle body and intake cleaned of carbon deposited and now today june 12th 2012 it stalled again getting off the interstate heading to my work. still filling high and low and stalling amd jerking between the natural shifting of the transmission | |||
