MY BOYFRIEND AND I WERE DRIVING HOME FROM DINNER AND ABOUT HALF WAY HOME THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED ACCELERATING AND THE SPEED DROPPED FROM 70 MPH TO 40 AND KEPT SLOWING DOWN. WE HAD TO PULL OVER AND TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON. THE CAR HAS DONE THIS SEVERAL TIMES SINCE AND A LIGHT COMES ON THAT SAYS "SERVICE PARK ASSIST". I HAVE READ UP ON THIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL AND HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE THAT HAS NOT BEEN DEALT WITH! THIS IS ALSO A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE. I ALSO FOUND THAT IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE "PARK ASSIST" BUT RATHER THE TRANSMISSION IN THE TRUCK AND THAT MANY HAVE FAILED WELL BEFORE 50,000 MILES BUT SHORTLY AFTER JEEP'S 35,000 MILE WARRANTY. JEEP DID NOT COVER MY CAR BECAUSE I BOUGHT IT USED WHICH TERMINATED THE WARRANTY BECAUSE I WAS NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED - THIS IS MY FIRST JEEP - AND I HAVE WANTED A JEEP FOR YEARS. THE CAR STILL DECELERATES AT TIMES - I CAN BE IN TRAFFIC OR PULLING OFF FROM A STOP OR TURNING A CORNER AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT IS NOT SHIFTING OR ACCELERATING. I CAN'T AFFORD A NEW CAR RIGHT NOW BUT AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY FAMILY'S SAFETY. PLEASE READ UP ON THE MANY ARTICLES AND COMMENTS FROM PEOPLE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND SAVE LIVES!!! WITH SO MANY COMPLAINTS AND CLOSE-CALL ACCIDENTS I WOULD THINK THAT SINCE IT IS 2011 SOMETHING WOULD HAVE BEEN DONE BY NOW!

MY 8 MONTH PREGNANT WIFE WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND THE PRND LIGHT ALL LIT UP AT THE SAME TIME. THE DASHBOARD READ "SERVICE PARK ASSIST BRAKE" AND THE CAR QUIT ACCELERATING AND THE LIGHTS TURNED OFF. LUCKILY NOBODY WAS DRIVING BEHIND HER AND SHE WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR. IF THIS HAPPENS WHILE TURNING ONTO THE ROAD YOU COULD EASILY BE HIT FROM THE SIDE OR FROM BEHIND. WE HAD A COUPLE OTHER INCIDENTS OF LOSS OF ACCELERATION, BUT BOTH TIMES THE CAR STARTED ACCELERATING AGAIN AFTER 5 OR 10 SECONDS. IN EVERY INSTANCE THE PRND ON THE DASHBOARD LIGHT UP AT THE SAME TIME.

2007 JEEP COMMANDER, STARTED WITH "SERVICE PARK ASSIST" LIGHT COMING ON ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE, THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE THE PROBLEM SO THEY RESET THE SYSTEM. TWO DAYS LATER THE SAME THING BEGAN TO HAPPEN AGAIN, ALONG WITH THE LIGHTS AROUND THE P N R D ON THE DISPLAY COMING ON ALL TOGETHER, THE CAR ALSO THEN BEGAN TO NOT WANT TO ACCELERATE AFTER A CERTAIN POINT. ALMOST ACTING LIKE IT WAS NOT WANTING TO SHIFT TO THE NEXT GEAR. THIS HAPPENED FOR 8 MONTHS, STILL NO SERVICE WAS DONE BECAUSE THEY WERE UNABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM. IT BEGAN TO OCCUR WHILE DRIVING AND COMING TO A STOP AND STARTING TO GO FORWARD AGAIN. CAUSING PROBLEMS CROSSING INTERSECTIONS OR TRAFFIC. HAVE NOW BEEN TOLD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE, WHICH WE DID. THIS DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. IN THE LAST WEEK WERE TOLD TO REPLACE THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE.

I LOOKED UP RECALLS AND SEE THAT THE 2006 COMMANDER HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM THAT PROMPTED A RECALL OF THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM). I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIPS AND WAS TOLD THAT MY 2007 IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE SAME RECALL, THOUGH THE PROBLEM IS THE SAME. I BELIEVE THAT THE PCM SOFTWARE NEEDS TO BE REPROGRAMMED. THIS FAILURE MAY ALLOW THE ENGINE TO CONTINUE STALLING RESULTING IN A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING. *TR

TRANSMISSION STALLING WHILE DRIVING- ACCORDING THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND IS ALSO A NOTED PROBLEM IN THESE VEHICLES. THIS SAME VEHICLE HAS ALREADY BEEN RECALLED FOR SIMILAR ISSUE, BUT ONLY FOR THE BIGGER ENGINE SIZE. CHRYSLER HAS INFORMED ME THAT THEY WILL NOT INVESTIGATE EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM IN A DIFFERENT ENGINE SIZE. THE VEHICLE CAN BE TRAVELING AT 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE AND STALL WITHOUT WARNING. IT WILL NOT GO ANY FURTHER WITHOUT STOPPING, TURNING OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTING. THIS HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES DAILY. I HAVE TRIED TO GET FIXED AND WORK WITH THE PROBLEM, BUT AFTER ALMOST BEING REARENDED BY AN 18WHEELER ON THE INTERSTATE TODAY, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

Official recalls
5Jul 21, 2014
This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, drivers should adjust their seat to allow clearance between the driver's knee and the ignition key, and remove all items from their key ring, leaving only the vehicle key. Chrysler Group LLC (Chrysler) is recalling certain model year 2005-2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles manufactured February 11, 2004, to July 5, 2007, and 2006-2007 Jeep Commander vehicles manufactured January 31, 2005, to July 5, 2007. In the affected vehicles, the driver may accidentally hit the ignition key with their knee, unintentionally knocking the key out of the run position, turning off the engine.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the ignition key inadvertently moves into the OFF or ACCESSORY position, the engine will turn off, which will then depower various key safety systems including but not limited to air bags, power steering, and power braking. Loss of functionality of these systems may increase the risk of crash and/or increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
Remedy: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ignition switch, free of charge. Chrysler sent interim notifications to owners in September 2014. The recall began on October 9, 2015. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is P41.

A transfer case electrical failure may result in an unintentional shifting of the transfer case into the neutral position.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the vehicle shifts into neutral, it may roll away increasing the risk of a crash or personal injury.
Remedy: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will reflash the final drive controller which governs the transfer case, with new software, free of charge. The recall began on August 15, 2013. Owners may contact Chrysler at 1-800-247-9753. Chrysler's recall campaign number is N23.

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

AQ10001 · Fleet Vehicle Recall Completion Audit

On November 18, 2010, NHTSA's Recall Management Division (RMD) opened an audit query (AQ10-001) to investigate recall remedy completion by rental car companies on safety recall campaigns.It was expected to provide the agency an indication of how completely and how quickly rental car fleets perform necessary recall-related remedies on the vehicles owned and then rented/leased for use on the roadways.RMD queried three (3) major motor vehicle manufacturers (Ford, Chrysler, and General Motors) and requested data regarding completion figures for fifteen (15) discreet safety recalls.Analysis of this data demonstrated that rental car recalls completion was neither complete nor consistent.The rental car companies representing the largest market share in the industry were then queried as to their respective policies for the rental, lease, and sale of vehicles with open recalls.The data and responses from the manufacturers and the rental car companies can be found in the document repository by accessing the ?Associated Documents link above.In December 2015, Congress enacted the Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act.One section of the Act prohibits rental car companies from renting, leasing, or selling motor vehicles subject to open safety recalls.With the passage of the FAST Act and its prohibition, there is no continuing need for the agency to investigate rental car recall completions.Accordingly, this investigation is closed.The agency reserves the right to open any future investigations, including audits of individual recalls, or groups of recalls, or rental car companies, to examine more closely safety recalls performance and completion issues in this area.
