Automatic Transmission Gear Indicator Problems of Jeep Commander

My Jeep has been having issues where I will be driving and service park assist system comes on dash board and on the prnd boxes come around it and the car stales. If I try to go the car won't go but rpm go up. The only way I go is I to put it in park then back in drive many times I have to put hazard lights on so that I don't get rear ended. Sometimes when you go into drive it will jerk and then you will see the boxes around the prnd that's when I have to shift back into park wait for boxes to go off then drive. There is also orange light on dash that comes on. Took to repair shop and code was reading u0404. This problem is getting worse and doing it all the time while driving I am afraid to drive it because I have 6 month old baby and 4 year old in the car.

The "prnd" gears lit up with boxes around them - the "service parking assist brake" came on as well. . . . I could not accelerate at all after the light turned green - had to turn on hazard lights and turn vehicle off and back on - worked fine for 10 minutes or so and then the check engine light came on, it has been on ever since. Called the dealership about this they asked me to bring it in for diagnosing, but hesitant because of all the same kind of stories that I have read on this issue. Going to have to give in though, this is a major safety concern of mine now. . . Have not seen a recall for this even though someone can certainly have a devastating accident, not willing to take that chance. . . Love my vehicle, but now I hate the aggravation that this is causing. . With all the horror stories with the same sort of issue you would think that Jeep would take care of this, I guess that this is why they discontinued the Commander?.

While driving, all gear indicators prnd light simultaneously, "service park assist system" message appears, "check engine" light illuminates, some hard shifts from 2 to 1, 2 to 3 and 3 to 4. Vehicle loses power but does not stall. Engine revs but does not transfer power to wheels.

This problem happens year round. Once you put the vehicle into drive, all of the shift lights "prnd" light up and the vehicle won't accelerate. If you are already driving down the road/ freeway, it will randomly light up and stop accelerating. When it randomly occurs, it happens with no warning, and you have to attempt to pull the vehicle over to the side of road, put it into neutral or park or restart the vehicle, and attempt it again. The check engine light will come on and the problem will happen repeatedly over a week period, then the problem will stop for a week or two and then resurface at the worst time- for example an intersection, an on-ramp, a busy street, and it has presented huge safety issues for me and my family. Does it take someone dying for this to get recalled? I have read forum after forum of the same issue amongst consumers with my exact make, model, and year (and earlier models) and yet, when I called Jeep, they say they have never heard of it, there is no recall, and I've been turned away.

My 8 month pregnant wife was driving home from work and the prnd light all lit up at the same time. The dashboard read "service park assist brake" and the car quit accelerating and the lights turned off. Luckily nobody was driving behind her and she was able to restart the car. If this happens while turning onto the road you could easily be hit from the side or from behind. We had a couple other incidents of loss of acceleration, but both times the car started accelerating again after 5 or 10 seconds. In every instance the prnd on the dashboard light up at the same time.

2007 Jeep Commander failing electronic shift module. This vehicle will shift out of gear at any time without warning. Other symptoms include parking assist failure message on the dash and all gears prnd show active at the same time on the display. I contacted Jeep and warned them about this but they will not initiate a recall until forced to do so by the NHTSA.

I had come to a complete stop and when I accelerrated my vehicle it stalled as I was rounding a corner. My engine light began to flash. The prnd letters on the dash all lit up and the screen read service park assist. I have had this happen mulitple times where all the letters light up and it will not accelerate on the highway. I can usually tell when it's going to happen because it tends to struggle on acceleration. Sometimes it will kick back and then letters light up. Really annoying when it happens 4-5 times a day. Other times it happens as I'm getting on the highway and the other vehicles behind have to brake fast due to stall. Very dangerous!!.

I purchased a new 2008 Jeep Commander (w/approxi. 50 mi) from sansones route 1 auto mall on 6/11/09. Within 48 hrs of purchasing the vehicle (at 150 mi) the shift gear and transmission malfunctioned. On 6/13/09 I drove the vehicle to jersey city, NJ. After reaching my destination, I put the vehicle in park to unload. When I finished, I could not shift the vehicle out of park without engaging the shift lock manual override (as described in the owners manual). During this time the malfunction indicator light was on and the electronic vehicle info center displayed service park assist system. I called the dealership to alert them of the problem and I was asked to take the vehicle to the dealership to be serviced. On the way to avenel from jersey city, the vehicle drove without issue for approximately 5 miles. However, after proceeding through an intersection and stopping for a red light, the vehicle began to jerk and with the pedal pressed to the floor, it would only accelerate to 30 mph. I drove at this speed on route 1 from jersey city to newark airport when the engine suddenly opened up and the vehicle shot off at a high speed. Thankfully, no one was directly in front of the vehicle at the time and I was able to drive at approximately 50 mph from newark airport to the sansone dealership in avenel. During the entire trip the malfunction indicator light remained on. The vehicle was serviced at sansones service center and I was told by the dealership that the issue was a faulty prndl wire that needed to be replaced. The part was ordered and installed and on 6/16/09 I was told that the wire was replaced resolving both issuesthe locked shift gear and inability to accelerate. I picked up the vehicle Tuesday night. Four days later I had the same exact issue with the vehicle. My father has owned Jeep products for over 15 yrs and has never experienced performance issues of this magnitude. It is obvious that this vehicle is defective and beyond repair.

While merging onto the highway when I try to accelerate there is not power. There is boxes around all gears (prnd). The display flash "service park assist". Then check engine light comes on. Called Chrysler said to take to dealer and find out what the repair will be. Dealer said it was a u0404 code invalid data received from gear shift control module and a p0700 code transmission control system. This module is $700 and Chrysler said it was helping me out and doing me a favor by letting me just pay $200. I have found this exact problem mentioned on multiple Jeep forum sites. My parents have replaced the same part and my brother is having the same problems now. I've talked with Chrysler asking why I should have to pay for a part that is malfunctioning in a unsafe manner and was told it hasn't been recalled yet.

Transmission not shifting, when @ a complete stop position, car lunges forward without any acceleration pedal pressure, while driving all "prndl " lights came on then car would not go over 30 mph even though I am stepping on acceleration pedal, when putting car in drive and stepping on acceleration pedal, engine revs but will not go, check engine light turns on, car completely shuts off while driving. Shuts off while driving @ 65 mph. Engine stalling and cutting off failure and has occurred @ least 5 times. The consequences have been that I could have been in 2 car accidents with 3 year old son in car. I also have spend time off from work due to damages and spent out of pocket expenses on rental cars. I now have a fear of driving. Due to the car lunging I have almost rear ended 10 cars, on 10 different occasions. I have taken car to the dealer several times for repairs with no success. They have updated software, performed pcm reflash, rec throttle body and injector service, replaced esm module, replaced socket.

Firstly, the event that brought this letter about took place on 03/28/2008 at 7:30 pm. The Jeep Commander I own smashed into my house. We began bbq-ing about 6:00 pm. While the food was cooking we sat in my Jeep with the doors open and engine off. (the porch was wet) after the food was done, I took it inside and my 6 year old son dylan stayed outside to play for a few more minutes. Dylan was in the front seat pretending to drive. The keys to the vehicle were inside the house and we live on a secluded piece of land in the country, so I saw no harm in this. However, a few minutes later when I heard a crash and felt my house move, I had second thoughts! at first I didn't actually realize what had happened; I was searching the house for what could have caused such a racket. Then my son came in the house hysterically crying. All he could manage was, the car, the car. At first I thought he meant a toy car and then as I rushed outside to find the cause of his hysteria I discovered my Jeep had crashed into my house. As I was stunned and staring at the unbelievable site before me, my son was still panic-stricken and sobbing. I thought at first that he had taken my keys and started the car, but the car wasn't running and I found my keys neatly on their hook, as always. Dylan couldn't make any functional sentences to explain what happened so I began to investigate. I found the gearshift in reverse, but there were no keys in the car. Since I had retrieved my keys, I backed the car up to its usual position to check out the damage. I continued my investigation and found that even with no key in the ignition and no foot on the brake, the gearshift would easily shift from park to any other gear. So due to this malfunction, dylans innocent pretend driving became real and resulted in a real accident that could have seriously injured him or one of my other children and did real damage the vehicle as well as my house.

Replaced bezel gear selector 3 times since 2006. As of September 2016 a 4th replacement is required per golling Chrysler. Vehicle attempts to stall after 1-2 seconds when starting from a stopped position. The check engine light illuminates and a service message appears stating "service park assist system. " several times from 2006 - 2016 the vehicle almost stalled when entering intersections of city streets. Whenever condition occured the part was replaced (3 times). Part causing the conditions is part# ch68004143-af prndl bezel gear selector and ch52108308-ac connector electrical (transmission). I believe the gear selector and transmission to be defective due to the frequent failure which could cause a safety incident.
