THE CAR TURN OFF ARE STALL WHILE DRIVING. NORMALLY OCCURS WHEN FOOT IS SLIGHT ON THE PEDDLE HOWEVER ALSO ATTEMPTS TO STALL AT HIGH SPEEDS. A REVIEW OF THE INTERNET SHOWS THAT THIS LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM IS A FREQUENT EXPERIENCE AND A LONG TERM REPORTED PROBLEM. I AM HAPPY TO PROVIDE THIS INFORMATION UPON REQUEST. DOES THERE NEED TO BE A LOSE OF LIFE TO OBTAIN RELIEF OF THIS ISSUE. IS THIS ISSUE A RESULT OF DEMANDS BY THE EPA TO HAVE THESE CARS RUN AT AN IDEAL SPEED THAT IS TOO LOW? IS THE EPA ALSO THE REASON FOR THIS PROBLEM? LIVES ARE AT RISK WITH NO ACTION BEING TAKEN TO PROTECT CONSUMERS. *TR

THIS WILL BE THE 3RD ELECTRIC SHIFT MODULE PUT IN THIS VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE LOST POWER THEN STALLED IN TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE, WHILE STOPPED IN TRAFFIC, WOULD SURGE. IF THE BRAKE WASN'T APPLIED, IT WOULD HAVE STRUCK THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF MINE. WHEN THE PROBLEM FIRST STARTED, THE INCIDENTS OF STALLING AND SURGING WERE MINIMAL. AS TIME WENT ON, THE INCIDENTS WERE MORE FREQUENT. THE PREVIOUS SWITCH MODULE (21030400768004143-AF) WAS REPLACED ($1067.00/DEALER ONLY PART/REPAIR COST).

I PURCHASED THE 2007 JEEP COMMANDER WITH THE 5.7 HEMI IN SPRING 2013 AND A FEW MONTHS LATER COMING TO A STOP IT JUST SHUT OFF. AT FIRST I THOUGHT MAYBE SOME WATER HAD GOTTEN INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT SINCE IT WAS RAINING AND SHORTED SOMETHING. STARTED BACK UP AND THOUGHT ALL WAS FINE. WELL RECENTLY IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE OFTEN, WHETHER IT IS WET OR DRY OUT AND AT ANY SPEED OR WHETHER THE CRUISE CONTROL IS ON OR OFF. IT ALSO SEEMS TO TRY TO SHUT DOWN WHILE FEATHERING THE GAS PEDAL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FROM ACCELERATING TO COAST. ON ONE OCCASION THIS SUMMER AT HIGHWAY SPEED PULLING OUR CAMPER IT SHUT DOWN AND I HAD TO COAST TO A STOP ALONG THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY TO RESTART. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE.

I TOOK MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER TO GET A N23 RECALL DONE ON IT. WITHOUT CHECKING ANYTHING BEFORE I DROVE OFF THE LOT AFTER THEY DID THE UPDATE, I TRIED MY 4LO DRIVE OUT AND WOULD NOT WORK A FEW WEEKS LATER. I ADVISED THE JEEP DEALERSHIP OF THE PROBLEM BUT THEY SAID HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE RECALL. AS I LOOKED FURTHER INTO MY SITUATION IM NOT THE ONLY PERSON TO EXPERIENCE THIS ISSUE WITH THIS EXACT RECALL. I HAD JEEP TAKE IT BACK IN TO LOOK OVER THE RECALL. THEY HAD MY VEHICLE FOR 2 DAYS TO TELL ME THAT ITS MY TRANSFER CASE ACTUATOR THAT HAS GONE OUT. AS I ADVISED THAT THE PAPERWORK I GAVE TO THEM REGUARDING THIS RECALL IS IN REGUARDS TO MY TRANSFER CASE ACTUATOR ELECTRICAL FAILURE. BUT THEY INSIST ITS NOW UP TO ME TO PAY AND FIX THIS MYSELF. SO NOW IM STUCK HAVING TO FORK OUT MONEY TO REPLACE A PART THATS NOT COMMUNICATING WITH THE RECALL THAT WAS SENT TO ME IN THE FIRST PLACE PLUS A DIAGNOSTICS FEE FOR TAKING MY JEEP BACK. SOMETHING THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO HELP MY JEEP HAS MADE IT WORSE AND TO TOP IT OFF I'VE GOT NOTHING BUT HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR THE DEALERSHIP AND ALSO CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE. I HAVE A PAPER IN FRONT OF MY FACE THAT SHOWS WHY THEY ARE HAVING A RECALL DUE TO THE TRANSFER CASE ACTUATOR BUT SOMEHOW NOT THE DEALERSHIP OR CHRYSLER CANT FIND SUCH THING. I TOLD THEM TO GET ON THE INTERNET AND WAS INFORMED THAT EVERYTHING YOU SEE ON THE INTERNET IS NOT TRUE. THATS WHEN I HAD ENOUGH. HOW DARE THEM SAY THAT WHEN CHRYSLERS NAME IS ON THE TOP LEFT OF THE RECALL. I FEEL NOW THAT I WAS LET DOWN BY THE DEALERSHIP AND CHRYSLER AND HAVE NO WHERE TO TURN TO HELP ME GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED WITHOUT PAYING OUT OF MY POCKET. *TR

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

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.
