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.

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

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

INFORMATION PROVIDED BY CHRYSLER DURING PE07-009 AND EA07-007 INDICATED THAT A REVISED ENGINE CALIBRATION WAS IMPLEMENTED IN PRODUCTION EFFECTIVE JANUARY 12, 2006 FOR THE MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 4.7L V-8 ENGINES.ODI'S ANALYSIS OFCONSUMER COMPLAINTS, FIELD REPORTS AND OTHER DATA RELATED TO FIELD EXPERIENCE WITH ENGINE STALLING IN MY 2006 THROUGH 2007 JEEP COMMANDER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 3.7L, 4.7L AND 5.7L ENGINES IDENTIFIED AN ELEVATED RATE OF STALLING INCIDENTS IN THE MY 2006 VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 4.7L ENGINES THAT WERE MANUFACTURED BEFORE THE CALIBRATION CHANGE.ODI INTERVIEWED OVER 70 CONSUMERS WHO REPORTED STALLING INCIDENTS IN EARLY PRODUCTION MY 2006 4.7L VEHICLES.INFORMATION GATHERED FROM THOSE INTERVIEWS INDICATED THAT THE STALLING INCIDENTS WERE OCCURRING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, OFTEN OCCURRED DURING TURNS AND TYPICALLY OCCURRED MORE THAN ONCE.THE INTERVIEWS DID NOT IDENTIFY ANY CONCERNS WITH RESTARTABILITY. ALTHOUGH THE EARLY MY 2006 PRODUCTION VEHICLES WITH 4.7L ENGINES MAKE UP ONLY ABOUT 15 PERCENT OF ALL MY 2006 THROUGH 2007 JEEP COMMANDERS BUILT BY CHRYSLER, THEY WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR 465 OF THE 854 REPORTED STALLING INCIDENTS (54%), 6 OF THE 12 CRASH INCIDENTS (50%) AND THE ONLY INJURY CLAIM.THE STALLING RATE FOR THE RECALLED VEHICLES IS 1.90 PERCENT, ALMOST 7 TIMES GREATER THAN THE RATE IN THE REMAINING POPULATION (0.28 PERCENT).CHRYSLER'S RECALL COVERS THE VEHICLES WITH THE ELEVATED STALLING RATE.THE REMAINING VEHICLES HAVE RELATIVELY LOW RATES OF STALLING AND DO NOT EXHIBIT ANY SIGNS OF AGGRAVATING FACTORS SUCH AS PROBLEMS WITH RESTART. ODI ALSO ANALYZED COMPLAINTS ALLEGING CONCERNS WITH LOSS OF LIGHTING COINCIDENT TO STALLING INCIDENTS.THIS ANALYSIS IDENTIFIED SEVEN STALLING INCIDENTS WHERE LOSS OF EXTERIOR LIGHTING WAS ALLEGED.NO SPECIFIC CAUSE WAS IDENTIFIED IN THESE INCIDENTS AND THERE WAS NO DISCERNIBLE PATTERN REGARDING ENGINE, VEHICLE PRODUCTION OPTIONS, BUILD RANGE OR FAILURE TREND.
