| Description of the problem | In the summer of 2014, i was reversing and my 2007 jeep commander turned off twice. It has been happening more frequently since then. My jeep turns off while driving up to 30 miles an hour, and while stopped at a light, and/or a stop sign. The check engine light sometimes turns on, but not always when jeep turns off. Sometimes it makes a 'huffing puffing' noise like it's struggling to stay on (before it actually turns off). It always turns on right after, but i have noticed it makes a loud squeaky sound when it turns on after i crank it. That squeaky sound, sounds like the sound it makes when someone tries to crank on the vehicle after vehicle is already been on. The chrysler recall center mailed me a recall p41 notice last summer/fall in 2014. I took it to the chrysler jeep dealership in mcallen, texas for recall p41 service at that time. I've taken my jeep to several mechanics since then, but no one seems to find the problem. The servicemen at dealership said to keep checking in with them to see if they have the part. They said problem is not related to recall p41... And keep advising me of other possible problems. I've fixed all of the possible problems suggested, and yet the 'turning off' still continues! The service manager at dealership, and the chrysler recall center people keep telling me that chrysler has not made part available, and for me to remove any extra keys from the key ring, and to continue driving me jeep until the part is available. Chrysler will then mail me notice of recall part availability. I've been dealing with this problem for over a year! It is very scary, especially when it happens unexpectedly in an unreliable vehicle!! I don't feel safe. |
