I was driving on the freeway and all of a sudden the engine light turned on and my rpms dropped to zero. I pulled over, the power steering went out and the ability to brake went out. I turned the vehicle off and on and then it was fine, however, the engine light was still on. There were no codes when I went to a mechanic five minutes after the incident. This is the second time this has happened.

Jeep complaint case # 31436177. I am having a no crank no start issue with bogus error message that reads transmission over temp. I have taken the vehicle to three different places and no one can identify why the vehicle will not start or find anything wrong with the transmission or wiring....... That is causing this issue. The jeep started having this issue intermittently in february 2017 and now it will not start at all as of april 2017. Electrical mechanic is baffled and can not find any thing wrong with the jeep even though it does not start at all anymore. Since february 2017 after this issue started I have had the computer updated to fix the problem, I have had the ignition switch replaced to solve this problem, I have had the transmission cooler lines and transmission fluid changed out to fix this problem and still the vehicle will not start intermittently and now will not start at all as of a week and a half ago. I was also told that it might be the key not being recognized by the jeep and would need to be reprogrammed but this is not the issue either. This is not the first issue I have had with this vehicle either. I also had the wiring harness catch fire inside the driver side door boot shortly after purchasing the vehicle that caused windows, locks....... Not to function and have had numerous issues with water pouring in from drains from the sunroof flooding the vehicle and ruining the carpet on both the driver and passenger side of the vehicle also causing a mold smell.

Dec 9. I attempted to start the jeep, would not start.please advise. Thanks
The vehicle will lose all power while driving and stall. None of the electrical systems will work and sometimes the car will not start back up. The recall for the ignition switch was replaced but this problem still happens. It has been returned to the dealership several times for this issue with no actual fix for the problem. When the system fails, all the dash lights and faults lights flash on and off before shutting down. This has happened while driving as well as not starting after turning off the vehicle. It has been an ongoing issue now for a few years now with no fix for the problem since.

Takata recall. I recieved a recall on my jeep commander about 8 months ago concerning engine shutting off while driving and potentially endangering my family as well as others. The recall stated when parts are available we would recieve a second recall to fix the trouble. About two weeks ago while driving my vehicle shut off on me and I almost hit another vehicle. I was making a right hand turn when it shut off and lost steering and brakes. I ended up having it towed home by tripple a and now it will not start. No fault codes present. After reading thousands of online reports of same trouble and jeep chrysler apparently not willing to address issue what do I do. If I did get it to run I would be afraid to drive it or my wife for fear of endangering her or my two young children. Please help all concerned

This complaint is in regards to a stalling issue in my 2007 5.7l jeep commander. The vehicle will stall while idling at stops and during low speed maneuvering at turns and in parking lots. While at speeds of 45 MPH+ the vehicle will attempt to stall and temporarily lose power. After stopping the vehicle and placing it in park, the vehicle will restart. This has become a serious safety concern as it stalls while maneuvering through intersections and at intersections where following vehicles accelerate when lights turn green. After taking the vehicle to multiple shops over the past week and a half (including the jeep dealership where it is currently located), it was determined the PCM required reprogramming. Following the reprogramming of the PCM, the dealership determined that the issue was not resolved as the vehicle stalled again while maneuvering from the service bay. Per the federal safety agency action number: ea07007, I can see that the 2006, 4.7l commanders were recalled from what appears to be the same issue. I also noticed that an investigation was conducted concerning the 2006-2007 model commanders with the same issues (investigation # pe07009) but the investigation is now 'closed' and 'upgraded to an engineering analysis (ea07-007) to further assess the frequency, scope and potential safety consequences'. This appears to be a proven issue with daimler chrysler era vehicles with over 1.3 million cherokee and commander's recalled in 2008 (hood, james. "jeep owners complain of stalling." consumer affairs. 17 july 2013) and 76 complaints in investigation # pe07009. I am fortunate that due to my geographic location I am able to avoid heavily populated thoroughfares, but have still had some close calls when stalling mid-intersection with oncoming cross traffic approaching. This issue greatly hampers the vehicle's utilization and has a direct impact on my family's safety.

Vehicle has a recall p41/the federal safety agency 14v‑438 that was issued over a year ago. I received a second notice a couple weeks ago that the issue had finally been resolved and to make an appointment with my local jeep dealer. Dealer is still unable to address the recall and could not give a time when the vehicle could be serviced. The problems with the ignition have become more frequent over the last 3 months. Lights will turn on and off within the vehicle. I am unsure if turning signals and brake signals are affected by this problem.

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.

After starting vehicle and shifted into drive, loud clunking noise and grinding began as the vehicle began to move forward. Several dashboard indicator including ABS and stability control lit with "service 4x4 system" message. Took vehicle to chrysler/jeep dealership for service and to have recalls corrected, including manufacturer recall n23 (the federal safety agency recall number: 13v‑175) regarding 'unintentionally cause the transfer case to shift into the neutral position without input from the driver.' first available date for service was 7-15-15. Dealership service department informed me that the transfer case control module (chrysler part no. 56044129ap) was corrupt/needed to be replaced and that vehicle was unsafe to drive. N23 recall still shows under my VIN as incomplete. Part was ordered by parts department at dealership at time of initial service. I waited approx. 4 weeks for the chrysler dealership to obtain the part. After multiple phone calls, I was informed that they received a shipment of the parts, but that there were customers ahead of me waiting on same part. I filed a formal complaint with chrysler and was given a case number and manager. I inquired with the case manager as to why the part is backordered and if the part has malfunctioned on multiple vehicles, then will this be a safety recall issue related to the n-23/13v‑175 recall. After several phone conversations, case manager was unable to provide any useful information about the backorder, stating that backorder is due to "the part is not readily available." the case manager advised that a rush was placed on the part and would be delivered on 8-27-15. The part was not delivered on 8-27-15 after contacting the dealership. 3 calls to and messages left for the case manger without reply. The dealership finally has the part as of 8-31-15 and scheduled for service. More than 6 weeks after the initial service.
