2008 Jeep Commander 4X4 Vehicle speed control Problems

“I was driving down the road and the vehicle lost power. I was able to move to the shoulder and bring the vehicle to a stop. There was no power to any system. The ignition switch was in the off position. I was able to restart the vehicle. This is not the first time the vehicle has lost power while driving.”

“There have been two times that the vehicle just would not start after a rain, but when we had it looked at no problems and it has not happened again. The major issue is that while driving home on the toll road all of the sudden the vehicle just lost power and would not go over about 30mph, so I have to try and get across a toll road in rush hour traffic so that I can turn it off and back on.

“I purchased a new 2008 Jeep commander (w/approxi. 50 mi) from sansone's 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.

The cruise control was not in use and the floor mat was in a normal position. The etc warning was on during this malfuction but went off when the vehicle was stopped. During this episode the brakes and lower gears were used to slow down while the RPM was running very high.”

“As you speed up from a stand still the throttle control indicator forces the car to slow down. Have to pull over to side of the road and turn off the car. Start the car back on and slowly excel, sometimes the throttle will act up again, and have to turn off car again. And today the traction indicator turned on while driving and as the car slowed down the throttle control forced my husband to pull over and turn off the car. It seems to act up when the weather gets warmer. Took the car to the dealer last year and the gas pedal was replaced and they assured that the problem was fixed. …”
