My jeep is losing power while driving. This has happened on numerous occasions and when I take it to be looked at, I can never get a straight answer. I continue being told it's transmission issue (transmission oil cooler, fluid, lines). My car slightly jerks into get when shifting from part to another gear, and the parking assist message flashes on. After reading all the similar complaints online it seems the issue may be with the shift module. With so many complaints it would be nice if this could be a recall and corrected.

When driving on freeway at high speeds the car shuts off and then back on again, when it happens the engine stumbles and the engine warning light comes on for a second and then back off. It makes for a dangerous condition. No codes come up though. Took it to the dealership and they put a new ignition key switch in but it still has the problem, they say there is no recalls

After having ignition switch fixed due to recall and battery, alternator and starter checked, we can not find an issues. It was serviced by a jeep dealer. My jeep will not start or will start and then after parking, will not start again. It leaves me stranded in parking lots and wherever I park it. This only happens after parking and turning jeep off.

Vehicle had the ignition switch fixed with the prior recall, but I am still having an issue with the engine light which has turned on and the vehicle slows down and seems to go into neutral while driving. This occurs around 20 MPH, local roads and luckily not on a highway yet and if I press the accelerator nothing occurs and the traction control light flashes. My truck has not come up under the recall for this issue but I feel that it is related especially after reading all of the complaints, please help.

The federal safety agency recall number: 14v‑438 recall date: september 3, 2014 manufacturer recall number: p41 "summary: some jeep commander and jeep grand cherokee vehicles may experience an unintended change in ignition switch position while driving. Safety risk: this 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 vehicles safety features including the frontal airbags. Remedy: chrysler intends to repair vehicles free of charge (parts and labor). However, the part required to provide a permanent remedy for this condition is currently not available. Chrysler is making every effort to provide the part as quickly as possible. Recall status: recall incomplete. Remedy not yet available" I have had several incidents where all electrical other than the power train fails, including air-conditioning. If I jiggle my ignition switch everything comes back on. If this recall has such a high risk level of crash, injury, and even death, why hasn't jeep come up with a remedy. I worked in the united states army combat readiness/safety center which deals with accident investigation and truly understand the risk of injury or even death that comes with this potential materiel failure. If I were the ceo for jeep or worked in their safety division, I would not put this off any longer. It has been over a year since the discovery of this potential materiel failure and jeep has done nothing. I recommend that jeep is proactive to this failure rather than reactive.

I have had my jeep for just over 2 years. This has happened 4 times and this is the forth time I've had to have the shift interlock module replaced. The car loses all power, you can't control it. I have been fortunate that it has caused a crash or fire or death but that is because I'm scared to death to take the vehicle anywhere. Last night the lights on the dash all came on - service engine, stability track, ABS, break, etc. The car shifted into prnd and I could not accelerate. Fortunately I could brake and stop before it got ugly. This is unsafe. If you read the jeepcommander.com/forums it is full of similar instances. What has to happen before jeep is made to fix this issue?!?!?!

When shifting out of park, jeep will shift hard and lights around prnd are illuminated and error message "service park assist system" is displayed. When this happens, you have to put car back in park and turn it to the off position to reset. Sometimes this clears it,sometimes it doesn't. After about 4 times in a row, the check engine light comes on and stays on for days at a time. This issue also happens when the car is in drive and you are actually driving down the road. It has caused me to be rear ended once and almost rear ended many more times. Luckily when I was rear ended, we were in a parking lot and only traveling at a slow speed so there was no damage/injuries. This is beginning to happen on a daily basis and it is only a matter of time before someone is killed due to jeep's denial there is a problem and refusal to fix the issue. I have taken my car into the dealer multiple times but they are unable to recreate the issue and therefore say there is no problem. An auto parts store was able to pull a code one time (u0404) but couldn't determine the meaning behind the code and couldn't tell me what to do to fix the problem. I have found through a prior google search that this issue has been reported before and that a prior recall was issued for this problem. Of course, my car and apparently everyone else's weren't part of the recall and are therefore still not repaired considering the part to fix the problem costs around $1,000 before labor charges! I hope someone can force jeep to fix these vehicles before someone loses their life because of it!

My jeep had an issue while I was on the highway driving 55 miles per hour. The park drive reverse and neutral lights lit up and I could no longer accelerate. I was rear ended with my children in the car. This is the most dangerous vehicle I have ever owned. I have had I to the mechanic for repair and the mechanic called jeep and jeep was not clear on how to fix it. My mechanic reset my computer and it corrected the problem for a little while but now I was in an accident. I am telling everyone who will listen. This is dangerous. It's a bad product and it needs to be recalled. I know that people need to die before they do something. I am just glad it wasn't one of us tonight.

While idling in a driveway, the check engine and esp/bas lights came on. The vehicle did not stall. Shortly afterward, when driving about 55-60 MPH, I realized the cruise control no longer works. I tried multiple times to turn it on, but it does not come on any longer. The esp/bas light went off about 10 miles later, after I stopped to fuel up the vehicle. The check engine light remained on. About an hour later and another 35 miles later, after making a stop, the check engine light did not come back on when restarting the vehicle. Later in the afternoon, while it was in the neutral gear and going through an automatic carwash, the vehicle stalled twice. The rpms were constantly up and down between 500 and 1500 rpms.
