This morning I was driving into work, when my car wasn't getting enough power to move. Each time I would give it gas, it would sputter at me. This has been a constant problem since I bought a year ago... I would like to know what the problem is so I can fix it

Jeep loses power and shuts down while driving in city and on the highway at random speeds. Also will shut down while stationary. Causes loss of power steering and brakes. Check engine light has not come on. The only way to restart is to fully place in park and completely remove the key. Violent shut down and transmission is not shifting correctly. I have had the asd relay replaced and wiring checked with no fix. Very dangerous with my 3 year old in the car.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 jeep commander 4x4. While driving approximately 25 MPH, the vehicle hesitated when the accelerator pedal was depressed and stalled. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The contact waited approximately ten minutes and the vehicle restarted normally. The vehicle was driven to the contact's residence. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (zimmerman motors, 1301 market street, sunbury, pa 17801), but they could not determine the cause of the failure. The contact stated that the failure occurred every time the vehicle was driven for the past four months. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was taken to three independent mechanics, but the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 128,000.

I drove to a gas station about 5 miles from my home to fuel up. After fueling up, I tried to start the engine and it ran rough for less than a second and then shut off. I tried to start it again and it ran but had a loud knock so I immediately shut the engine off. I towed it to the local dealership who said I had a dropped valve seat and would need to replace the engine. The odometer was at 106,000 miles when this happened.

While driving at slow speeds, the vehicle stalls out, obviously resulting in a loss of power steering & brakes. This has happened 50+/- times over the last 2 years of my ownership. The problem has intensified over the last 2 weeks, but would always re start after shifting into park. Last night (10/8/2017) it happened again. This time while merging onto a highway at 55 MPH. The vehicle suddenly lost power as I coasted to the side of the highway. This time it would not start & I had to have the vehicle towed. Through on-line research, this is a common problem on the jeep commander (4.7l) dating back to when the vehicles were new. The fix for the problem varies greatly. Given the timeline for this problem, its obvious this is a problem that daimler chrysler (now fiat chrysler USA) is aware of & makes no attempt at a solution.

I was driving down the freeway and the engine down shifted hard and the engine light came on. I pulled over, turned my vehicle off, turned my vehicle back on, and it drove just fine. I went to get the engine light checked and the code that came back was the map sensor. I just replaced the map sensor two months prior.
