I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE SINCE NEW AND HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING INFREQUENT AND USUALLY MOMENTARY ENGINE STALLS WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FOR YEARS. EACH TIME THERE WAS A SLIGHT CLUNK SOUND AND LURCH FORWARD - AS IF THE CRUISE CONTROL HAD JUST DISCONNECTED, AND WITHIN A SECOND OR SO EVERYTHING WOULD BE BACK TO NORMAL. BUT ON A RECENT TRIP I HAD THREE INCIDENTS OVER TWO DAYS WHICH WERE MUCH WORSE, PERHAPS BECAUSE THEY ALL OCCURRED AT TEMPERATURES AROUND 0 DEGREES F.OR BELOW. IN TWO INCIDENTS, WHILE DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE AT A STEADY 75MPH, INSTEAD OF THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY RECOVERING, IT TOOK LONG ENOUGH THAT THE VEHICLE HAD SLOWED DOWN TO 30-35MPH BEFORE THE ENGINE RESTARTED ITSELF. IN ONE INCIDENT ALSO WHILE DRIVING AT A STEADY 75MPH ON AN INTERSTATE THE ENGINE DID NOT RECOVER AND I HAD TO PULL OFF ONTO THE SHOULDER AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP WITH NO POWER. I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN AND THE ENGINE RESTARTED IMMEDIATELY. I HAD NO LOSS OF ELECTRICAL POWER DURING THESE INCIDENTS, AND I HAVE NOTHING DANGLING FROM NOR COULD I HAVE BUMPED THE IGNITION KEY. I HAVE ALWAYS MAINTAINED THE VEHICLE ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE SCHEDULE AND HAVE HAD ALL RECALLS PERFORMED, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE LATEST ONE FOR WHICH THE DEALER STILL HAS NOT RECEIVED THE PARTS FROM JEEP. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO A JEEP DEALERSHIP THE SAME DAY AS THE SECOND AND THIRD INCIDENTS AND THEY SAID THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. I ASKED THEM IF POSSIBLY THE POWER CONTROLLER MODULE RECALL NEEDED TO BE DONE A SECOND TIME, AND THEY RESPONDED THAT JEEP WOULD NOT PERMIT THAT. *TR

DRIVING HOME FROM MEETING APPROX 10PM. ALL SEEMED TO BE RUNNING SMOOTHLY. SUDDEN 'CLUNK' NOISE FROM ENGINE COMPARTMENT. ENGINE STALLED. COASTED TO SIDE OF ROAD. ALL DASH LIGHTS CAME ON AS THEY DO AT ENGINE STARTUP...INDICATING ENGINE NOT RUNNING. ONCE STOPPED PLACED VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL. TURNED OFF KEY AND TURNED BACK ON. ENGINE STARTED IMMEDIATELY AND I COMPLETED MY TRIP WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. THE KEY DID NOT FALL OUT NOR DO I HAVE ANYTHING ATTACHED TO IT. THIS IS THE 5.7LITER ENGINE. A REVIEW OF THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET ONCE HOME HAS RETURNED 100S OF COMPLAINTS FROM PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH NO DEALER RESOLUTION IN ANY OF THE CASES I READ. I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS IS RELATED TO THE OUTSTANDING KEY ISSUE. I PURCHASED THIS CAR YESTERDAY SO I CANNOT SPEAK TO WHETHER IT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE. THIS COULD BE A VERY SERIOUS SITUATION WERE IT TO HAPPEN IN COMMUTE TIME TRAFFIC. I SEE THE STALLING ISSUE ON YOUR LIST WITH ALL THE ENGINES USED IN THE COMMANDER BUT I SEE NO RESOLUTION. THIS WAS FROM 2007. WHAT HAS HAPPENED WITH THIS? *TR

I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS AN AIR LOCK OR BAD GAS BUT AFTER READING THE MANY COMPLAINTS AND DANGEROUS SITUATIONS I SEE IT MUST BE THE IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM. I HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED BY CHRYSLER I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT IT WHEN MY JEEP WAS IN FOR REPAIRS ON ANOTHER PROBLEM. I RESEARCH THIS THEN CALLED THE DEALER AND HE SAID YES THERE IS A PROBLEM BUT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS JUST WAIT TILL THEY COME IN THEN CHRYSLER WILL SEND ME A NOTICE. THEY HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS FOR YEARS. IS THIS GOING TO BE ANOTHER GM TYPE SITUATION WITH PEOPLE KILLED. LETS GET THE PARTS AND FIX THEM. *TR

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

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.

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.
