2006 Jeep Commander vehicle speed control problems

“THIS HAS BEEN THE 3RD TIME THIS TYPE OF EVENT HAPPENS, THE FIRST TIME WAS AT A CITY STREET DRIVING STRAIGHT FORWARD AT 30-35MPH AND THE ENGINE STARTED STALLING, TRUCK COMPLETELY WENT OFF, HEAD LIGHTS WOULD GO ON AND OFF, ALONG WITH MY INTERIOR DASHBOARD INDICATORS AND MEDIA CENTER. SECOND TIME, SAME THING, AND THE THIRD TIME WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 35-40MPH IN A CITY STREET AND GRADUALLY SLOWING DOWN TO 10-15MPH TO MAKE A LEFT THE TRUCK COMPLETELY WENT OFF, HEAD LIGHTS WOULD GO ON AND OFF, ALONG WITH MY INTERIOR DASHBOARD INDICATORS AND MEDIA CENTER. IT SEEM LIKE I HAD TURNED OFF THE ENGINE COMPLETELY FOR LIKE A SPLIT SECOND. I THOUGH IT MIGHT'VE BEEN THAT I HIT THE KEY WITH MY KNEE, BUT I PULLED OVER RESTARTED THE ENGINE AFTER 15 MIN, AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. ALL THE LIGHTS WOULD GO ON AND OFF AND THE ENGINE POWER WOULD SHUT DOWN, WHEN PUTTING THE GEARS, IT WOULD SOUND VERY FORCING. I TURNED IT OFF AGAIN AND WAITED 30 MIN, RESTARTED THE TRUCK AGAIN IT DID THE PROBLEM FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN IT WAS LIKE NOTHING EVER HAPPENED.”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS BECAME ILLUMINATED. ADDITIONALLY, THE HEADLIGHTS BECAME DIM, THE RADIO VOLUME INDEPENDENTLY LOWERED, SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER FLUCTUATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BALD HILL DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM LOCATED AT 1035 BALD HILL RD, WARWICK, RI 02886, (844) 847-4671) HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SEVERAL YEARS AGO, THE ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED HOWEVER, THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ALTERNATOR FAILED TO ELIMINATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 126,000.”

“MY JEEP LOSES POWER EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT STALLS OUT WHILE DRIVING (SCARY WHEN IT HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY) AT TIMES IT STOPS SHIFTING AND THEN SLAMS LIKE THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION FELL OUT OF JEEP.”

“THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES NOW, I HAVE BEEN DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 70 MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE IS A DING ON THE DASH BOARD AND THE CAR STALLS, AND THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. ONCE YOU SHUT DOWN THE CAR AND START IT AGAIN THE CAR WORKS FINE BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS, ACCORDING TO JEEP THEY CHARGE FOR A DIAGNOSIS AND I SEE ONLINE THAT THIS IS HAPPENING A LOT IN MY TYPE OF VEHICLE BUT JEEP HAS YET TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT. I THINK IT IS VERY DANGEROUS SINCE I HAVE BEEN DRIVING ON A FREEWAY WHERE PEOPLE ARE DRIVING AS FAST OR FASTER THAN ME AND COULD CAUSE A PROBLEM.”

“I WAS DRIVING TO DROP MY SON OFF AT SCHOOL AND WHEN I WOULD PRESS THE GAS, IT WASN'T MOVING LIKE IT SHOULD'VE BEEN. IT WAS BARELY MOVING, YOU COULD ENGINE REV BUT IT WASN'T MOVING AND DIDN'T MOVE UNTIL IT GOT TO 2, IG 2ND GEAR ON THE DASH.”

“VEHICLE IS HAVING ISSUES GETTING STUCK IN GEAR AND NOT SHIFTING UNLESS YOU STOP, TURN OFF, AND WHEN TURNED BACK ON WILL WORK FOR A WHILE AND THEN HAPPEN AGAIN. 3RD ROW SEAT BELT DOESNT WORK.”
