Unknown. While my vehicle is set on cruise control and the weather is over 50 degrees or the air is running my cruise control will shut off. Warning lights abs, esp bas, & stability control will come on, then my cruise control won’t work anymore. Now just this morning going up a hill my car wouldn’t go pass 20 mph while my foot was to the floor basically. Then almost to the top of the hill it took off. The rmps went high Jeep shifted to next gear. Of course took my foot off petal and pushed brakes slightly. As slowing down it started shifting hard with high rmps still. I have done a new tune up and new transmission within the last 6 months. Before the new transmutation it was still doing this. The reason to replace the transmission was my Jeep just stopped completely moving. I don’t have the money to keep taking my Jeep back to the dealership for them to keep telling me they don’t know the problem. If nothing gets done about this sadly I will have to get rid of it. The cruise accrues when I’m on the highway going 60 to 65 mps. The shifting problem happen in town. Which both issues could cause a serious car wreck and harm to others and my self.

WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT IN THE FAST LANE ON THE HIGHWAY AT AROUND 65 MPH, MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF WITH NO WARNING AND I NOTICED THAT ALL DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS A FAST-LANE SHOULDER THAT I WAS ABLE TO STEER IT ON, OR I MIGHT HAVE BEEN KILLED BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. VEHICLE WOULD NOT RE-START SO I DISCONNECTED THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE, WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND RE-CONNECTED IT AND THEN THE VEHICLE RE-STARTED BUT RAN VERY ROUGH. I PROCEEDED ALONG THE SHOULDER TO TRY AND GET OFF THE HIGHWAY, BUT THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN AGAIN. I REPEATED THE SAME PROCESS AND IT AGAIN RE-STARTED AND I MANAGED TO DRIVE HOME ON BACK ROADS AT 40 MPH. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON AT LEAST THREE OTHER OCCASIONS, BUT THE INCIDENTS OCCURRED MANY MONTHS APART, WHICH MADE ME THINK IT WAS A ONE-OFF SITUATION. I HAVE SINCE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET AND HAVE LEARNED THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO THEM. I THINK THIS IS A TRAGEDY IN THE MAKING IF CHRYSLER DOES NOT ADDRESS THIS DEFICIENCY BY ISSUING AN IMMEDIATE RECALL. I ALSO REQUEST THAT A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP INSPECT MY VEHICLE AT NO COST TO ME. YOUR PROMPT RESPONSE TO THIS URGENT MATTER WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

AUTO SHOPS WERE NOT ABLE TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND NO ONE SEEMS TO HAVE A CLUE HOW TO FIX THIS. RIGHT NOW THE VEHICLE IS UNRELIABLE AS IF I GO SOMEWHERE THERE IS A RISK THAT I WILL BE STRANDED.

IT IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENS TO US WHEN ON A HIGHWAY. THE FIRST TIME MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING AND WE HAVE OUR CHILD WITH US. WE THOUGHT IT WAS A PART OF THE LATEST RECALL WE RECEIVED IN THE MAIL REGARDING THE KEY IGNITION. THIS TIME I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, GOING ABOUT 60-65 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, I STARTING LOSING POWER, TACHOMETER STARTING GOING DOWN AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS COMPLETELY UNRESPONSIVE AND SIGNIFICANTLY HARD TO PUSH DOWN ON IT, THE SPEED CONTINUED TO GO DOWN AS I WAS TRYING TO GET TO THE SHOULDER AS FAST AS I COULD BUT WITH AN UNRESPONSIVE ENGINE IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT. IT WAS ALSO DIFFICULT TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL AS THIS GOT HARDEN. I MANAGED TO PULL OVER ON THE SHOULDER AND HAD TO TURN THE ENGINE OFF. AFTER WAITING 10-15 MINUTES, I TURNED THE ENGINE BACK ON AND WAS ABLE TO GET TO MY DESTINATION WHICH WAS NOT FAR FROM WHERE I HAD TO PULL OVER. THE ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON AND I'M AFRAID THIS WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN NEXT TIME I DRIVE MY VEHICLE WHICH IS EVERY DAY. THIS WAS NOT A PLEASANT EXPERIENCE AT ALL AND IT IS VERY FRIGHTENING WHEN YOU ARE ON A HIGHWAY AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN HAVE NO CONTROL OF YOUR VEHICLE, IT IS DEFINITELY NOT SAFE AT ALL. THIS JEEP HAS GONE THROUGH ALL THE RECALLS THAT I HAVE GOTTEN IN THE MAIL.

RIGHT AFTER PURCHASING THIS CAR IN 10/2011 THE JEEP WOULD RANDOMLY CUT OFF OR LOSE POWER, NOT SURE IF THIS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. DUE TO THE RANDOMNESS OF THE ISSUE, THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM WHEN I BROUGHT IN THE CAR. AFTER GOING BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP THE MANGER AT THE TIME WROTE/PROMISED THAT HIS ESTABLISHMENT (RELIABLE AUTO) WOULD REPAIR/FIX THE ISSUE IF IT OCCURRED AGAIN (WITHIN A YEAR OR 12,000 MILES). AFTER A YEARS TIME THE ISSUE STILL CONTINUED, BUT NOW I CANNOT BRING IT IN TO BE FIXED W/OUT BEING CHARGED. WHENEVER I PUSHED DOWN ON THE PEDAL TO ACCELERATE , THE CAR COULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 25- 30 MPH! THIS WOULD OCCUR WHILE I WAS ALREADY IN MOTION, OR AT A LIGHT. FELT LIKE THE CAR WAS, "STALLING" AND THE SERVICE PARK ASSIST MESSAGE WOULD APPEAR. I WOULD TRY TO SHIFT THE GEAR BUT NOTHING CHANGED, THE CAR STILL WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THIS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. SOMETIMES THE NEXT DAY THE CAR WOULD DRIVE JUST FINE, OTHER TIMES THE PROBLEM, "FIXED ITSELF" WITHIN A FEW DAYS. EVERY TIME I TOOK THE CAR IN THEY HAD A DIFFICULT TIME DUPLICATING THE PROBLEM. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD ALSO ILLUMINATE BUT WHEN CHECKED NO CODES COULD BE FOUND. SUPER FRUSTRATING AND SCARY TO DEAL W/ THIS. IN JULY/AUG 2013 THE PROBLEM GOT WORSE WHEN I WAS INVOLVED IN AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT. TOOK THE COMMANDER TO CHRYSLER/JEEP AND THEY WERE ABLE TO IDENTIFY AN ELECTRICAL/SHIFTMODULE PROBLEM. ONE OF THE REPS. AT JEEP TOLD ME THIS BEEN COMMON W/ JEEP COMMANDERS.

Official recalls

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.
