MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER REFUSES TO ACCELERATE AFTER THE SERVICE PARK ASSIST LIGHT COMES ON AND ALL GEAR OPTIONS HIGHLIGHT AT THE SAME TIME. THIS WILL HAPPEN WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND OR HIGHWAY. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE VEHICLE TO BEGIN TO ACCELERATE AGAIN IS TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND APPLY THE ACCELERATOR. IT WILL ALSO BEGIN TO ACCELERATE WHILE AT A STOP ON ITS OWN. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS EXACT AND SIMILAR PROBLEMS FROM OTHER JEEP COMMANDER OWNERS. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE SINCE OTHER JEEP COMMANDER OWNERS HAS BEEN CHARGED FOR REPLACING TRANSMISSION MODULES JUST TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN AGAIN. MY COMMANDER IS A 2007 V6 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION MODEL. HERE ARE A COUPLE LINKS I HAVE FOUND ON ISSUES.

DEALERSHIP SAYS IT IS NOT COVERED BY ANY RECALL AND THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDS CLEANING FOR $250. (A $2 CAN OF CLEANER). THIS SAME VEHICLE STALLED TWICE IN THE SAME TRIP ONE WEEK EARLIER BUT I CONSIDERED IT AS PART OF THE COLD WEATHER.

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!

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.

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.
