ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS OUR 2007 JEEP COMMANDER WITH 5.7 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. THE DEALER CLAIMED TO HAVE FIXED IT ONCE, BUT IT CONTINUED TO STALL. IT HAS NOW BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR 3 WEEKS AND NEITHER THEY NOR THE CHRYSLER ENGINEERS THEY HAVE CONSULTED CLAIM TO HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT IS CHRYSLER NEEDS TO MAKE THIS RIGHT. *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

I PURCHASED MY USED JEEP COMMANDER AND SHORTLY AFTER IT STALLED ON ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I TOOK TURNED THE KEY AND GOT IT TO TURN ON AGAIN, LUCKILY THERE WERE NO CARS BEHIND ME. ANOTHER TIME I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED, AGAIN I WAS LUCKY THE TRAFFIC WAS BACKED UP AND NOT MOVING TOO FAST. BEFORE MY WARRANTY RAN OUT I TOOK IT IN AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WAS NOTHING COMING UP ON THEIR TESTS THAT WAS OF CONCERN. THE NEXT MONTH MY WARRANTY EXPIRED AND I WAS STRANDED AT A STORE. MY JEEP WOULD NOT TURN ON CLAIMING "TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP." IT WAS NOT THE BATTERY. I LEFT IT OVER NIGHT AND WENT BACK THE NEXT DAY AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY JEEP AND SUGGESTED A TRANSMISSION COMPUTER UPDATE. ABOUT A MONTH LATER I WAS BACK AT THE SHOP WITH THE "TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP" ISSUE, BUT THE JEEP BEHAVED AT THE DEALERSHIP. I PICKED IT UP AND ABOUT 2 MONTHS LATER I WAS BACK AT THE SHOP, HAVING TO TOW IN MY CAR. THE CAR AGAIN TURNED ON, SO THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE STARTER RELAY ON A GUESS (I WAS NOT CHARGED). AGAIN 2 MONTHS LATER MY CAR IS BACK IN THE SHOP FOR NOT TURNING ON, AGAIN SAYING THAT THERE IS A "TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP" ISSUE. ALSO WHILE I AM SITTING AT A RED LIGHT, I FIND MY JEEP SHAKING LIKE CRAZY. IT SEEMS LIKE IT WANTS TO TURN OFF, BUT IT DOESN'T (OR MAYBE THE LIGHT CHANGES JUST IN TIME). I HAVE DONE REGULAR MAINTENANCE ON MY JEEP. THE DEALERSHIP HAS RUN THEIR DIAGNOSTIC TESTS ON THE JEEP AND ABSOLUTELY NOTHING HAS COME UP. ALL IN ALL, I DRIVE IN FEAR THAT MY CAR WILL STALL AGAIN ON THE HIGHWAY, PUTTING BOTH MY SON'S AND MY LIFE IN DANGER, OR THAT WE WILL BE STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. *TR

Jul 21, 2014
This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, drivers should adjust their seat to allow clearance between the driver's knee and the ignition key, and remove all items from their key ring, leaving only the vehicle key. Chrysler Group LLC (Chrysler) is recalling certain model year 2005-2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles manufactured February 11, 2004, to July 5, 2007, and 2006-2007 Jeep Commander vehicles manufactured January 31, 2005, to July 5, 2007. In the affected vehicles, the driver may accidentally hit the ignition key with their knee, unintentionally knocking the key out of the run position, turning off the engine.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the ignition key inadvertently moves into the OFF or ACCESSORY position, the engine will turn off, which will then depower various key safety systems including but not limited to air bags, power steering, and power braking. Loss of functionality of these systems may increase the risk of crash and/or increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
Remedy: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ignition switch, free of charge. Chrysler sent interim notifications to owners in September 2014. The recall began on October 9, 2015. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is P41.

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

AQ10001 · Fleet Vehicle Recall Completion Audit

Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Unknown Or Other
On November 18, 2010, NHTSA's Recall Management Division (RMD) opened an audit query (AQ10-001) to investigate recall remedy completion by rental car companies on safety recall campaigns.It was expected to provide the agency an indication of how completely and how quickly rental car fleets perform necessary recall-related remedies on the vehicles owned and then rented/leased for use on the roadways.RMD queried three (3) major motor vehicle manufacturers (Ford, Chrysler, and General Motors) and requested data regarding completion figures for fifteen (15) discreet safety recalls.Analysis of this data demonstrated that rental car recalls completion was neither complete nor consistent.The rental car companies representing the largest market share in the industry were then queried as to their respective policies for the rental, lease, and sale of vehicles with open recalls.The data and responses from the manufacturers and the rental car companies can be found in the document repository by accessing the ?Associated Documents link above.In December 2015, Congress enacted the Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act.One section of the Act prohibits rental car companies from renting, leasing, or selling motor vehicles subject to open safety recalls.With the passage of the FAST Act and its prohibition, there is no continuing need for the agency to investigate rental car recall completions.Accordingly, this investigation is closed.The agency reserves the right to open any future investigations, including audits of individual recalls, or groups of recalls, or rental car companies, to examine more closely safety recalls performance and completion issues in this area.
