AFTER 3 HOURS OF DRIVING AS I WAS APPROACHING A RED LIGHT, BEGAN BRAKING THE VEHICLE STALLED. (21000 MILES) AFTER STOPPING I TURNED THE KEY TO OFF AND THEN ON BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT START. I TRIED A SECOND TIME AND THE VEHICLE STARTED BUT RPM'S WERE SPORADIC. AFTER A FEW MINUTES EVERYTHING LEVELED OUT AND DROVE FINE FOR THE REMAINING 3 HOUR DRIVE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN OFF AND ON SINCE STALLING WITH 5 VISITS TO THE DEALER FOR CORRECTION. I NOW HAVE 29000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED O2 SENSORS, REPLACED THE GAS CAP, REPROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER AND SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG AND CLEARED THE FAILURES BUT NOT 10 MINUTES FROM LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS COME BACK ON. IT HAS BEEN 8000 MILES AND STALLING HAS STARTED HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED AN UNUSUAL INCREASE IN RPMS WITHOUT WARNING. WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED, THE TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTIONED DUE TO THE SUDDEN INCREASE IN RPMS AND THE VEHICLE SPEED WOULD DECREASE UNTIL THE RPM'S FUNCTIONED NORMALLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WOULD OCCUR INTERMITTENTLY AND NEARLY CAUSED A CRASH. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT DID NOT PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 6,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 15,600.
