TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED AN UNUSUAL INCREASE IN RPMS WITHOUT WARNING. WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED, THE TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTIONED DUE TO THE SUDDEN INCREASE IN RPMS AND THE VEHICLE SPEED WOULD DECREASE UNTIL THE RPM'S FUNCTIONED NORMALLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WOULD OCCUR INTERMITTENTLY AND NEARLY CAUSED A CRASH. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT DID NOT PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 6,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 15,600.
