Check engine light came on. engine surged rpms and lost all power while driving. i put it in neutral and started it back up. upon parking, rpms surged again, vehicle tried to pull forward before the rpms dropped and stalled the engine in drive. i checked used my scan tool to check the code and it came back p1521 which is for wrong engine oil. i used royal purple 5w20 in my last oil change. it drove the vehicle for 2098 miles before this incident occurred with no issues in between. i noticed the 4.7 litre had a recall done for the same exact issue and it being a software update for the power control module.
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.

Intermittent inability to start vehicle. my jeep commander 2006 has a problem that is being discussed all over the internet in chat rooms and blogs but is not being acknowledged by jeep. the issue occurred when jeep was in parked position. i am a disabled man and i was left stranded in very cold weather for two hours with a car that would not start. it had nothing to do with the starter, or the solenoid. this seems to be a serious issue with jeeps and a safety issue to the owner especially if the owner is stranded and has no heat and unable to walk to get help. i am requesting nhtsa to look into this because jeep is stonewalling the public and this is a serious and dangerous issue that the public should be aware of by way of a recall. people rely upon their automobiles and expect them to operate accordingly and not to have random and intermittent engine non starts for no apparent reason and with no explanation from jeep and no solution to the problem going on 9 years now. please investigate this widespread problem known to be ...
At 100k with no warning, engine runs hot, i wait for 30 min to cool down.. drive again and it runs hot.. mechanic says head gasket blown..smdh.. along with that it was raining and the sunroof starts leaking. 8 months prior i had to replace the transmission. what a jeep and i am still paying on it.!! the jeep people needs to recall these and at least reimburse people, now im stuck with buying a 5000 engine on a set income...basically couldve bought a brand new car with the funds i put out so far..

Engines surges continuosly. rpm's surge.
Engine died while driving on highway twice
Vehicle stalls randomly, losing power brakes and steering. this is a major safety issue. unfortunately, there needs to be solid a resolution as people can't spend tons of money on what the issue "might" be and then get back on the road in this death trap to only have it stall again.
2006 commander stalls on highway and then starts right back up. happens at any speed.

Jeep commander 2006 limited 5.7 l engine. the complaint is as follows: while driving, at random, slow and medium speeds, all the dashboard lights activate at one time followed by immediate loss of engine power. (at no time did my knee hit the key or ignition cylinder) this issue does not clear up on its own. the only solution to avoid an accident is to immediately put into neutral, pull off the road or highway as quickly as possible. (at this time, the car is sputtering severely or stalls) next step- turn the key to off position, wait a few seconds and re start the vehicle. it starts and runs normally. the loss of power and dash light activation is occurring every other day. upon my own further investigation, many reports have been logged (with basically the same complaint) on carcomplaints.com, with additional video proof on u tube ( just type in jeep commander dashboard haywire) with several videos of the incident. chyrsler customer care claims ( as of today) to know nothing about it - told me to call local dealer, local jeep dealer (car was purchased new) was contacted- they claim to now nothing about it. told ...
