#61 of 211 Jeep Grand Cheroke Laredo 1995 by hjay Mar 30, 2007 (6:18 pm)
I read in some of the other post about the tps (Throttle Position Sensor) I have some of the problems that some of the people were having on the post. My question is what tool do you use to get the TPS off. One salesman told me a torque. Is this the right tool. The part looks very easy to replace. Can someone help me with this? Thanks hjay

Thanks so much. Tomorrow we were about to buy a "new" 06 loaded Commander. It has a Sticker of $45,000, but they are asking $33,995 but I sure done need all of the hassels that you have all had.   We have owned German cars for years any have not bought american because of lacking quality. (currently looking to trade an ML320 that now has just turned 100,000 miles. Until just recently it has been very trouble free and a nice car all around. We were thinking of just getting something different and the Jeep looked nice. We are also looking at the Lexus GX470, the X5, the Hummer and the LR3 does anyone have any feedback on any of them?   Thanks

Replying to: willy2004 (Mar 29, 2007 6:22 am) Willy2004, What exactly are you doing when the car stalls? What is the ambient temp? How fast are you going etc? What indicator lights are on? Does the dash go out as well? Have you read about the possibility of your knee hitting the ignition switch or key?   Thanks Bassman8

Replying to: schittycommndr (Jan 11, 2007 5:43 pm)   Honestly, I have a loaded 06 Commander it has been in for service countless times for stalling!!! They send it back to me EVERYTIME with NOTHING done! Midway Jeep is no help and I think they are bunch of buffoons , not to mention SO clueless. There are times when it happens I think I will be rear ended! This is a car I will not ever buy again or any car from that for that matter . I just got it from Midway Friday and it stalled again on Sunday.... just called the service manager (7am Monday)he said there is nothing he can do!!! Are you kidding me???   Does anyone out there have any ideas for me. He claimed that I was the only one that has had this problem.... sure---I told him to read this link his reply was he doesn't have time for that. Sure I guess when you are busy doing nothing!! Anyway..... any ideas!????? Replies to this message: bassman8 (Apr 16, 2007 8:30 am) stayc (Apr 16, 2007 9:53 am) jenh1 (Apr 16, 2007 9:59 am)

Replying to: stayc (Apr 16, 2007 6:30 am) stayc, If you think they are a bunch of buffoons, go to a different dealer. Any Chrysler dealer can service your car, not just the one that sold it to you. Second, ask them to put a data recorder in the car and you can push a button when it stalls. That way, the dealer can look at what was happening when it did stall.   Bassman Replies to this message: stayc (Apr 16, 2007 9:53 am) jenh1 (Apr 16, 2007 9:59 am)

Replying to: bassman8 (Apr 16, 2007 8:30 am) Hi everyone! Just an update on my 06 Commander that was stalling. I am happy to say that mine has not stalled since the last fix. Please tell your dealership to call Ed Voyles Jeep in Marietta, Georgia and ask to speak to Krissy in service. Her phone number 770-429-1100. I am not sure what she will think of me giving out their dealerships number, but I have to say they have taken FANTASTIC care of us. They have trusted us, believed us and done everything in their power to fix it....in fact, I sent them the link to this site so that they could see what had been done to other cars to try and fix the problem so that they wouldn't waste time retrying something that didn't work. I may still dislike my car, but their willingness to admit there is a problem and work to correct it has made it a little better. They were never able to duplicate it, but I guess there was enough of us on the blog and enough other weird stuff with my car, that they moved forward. Apparently, the Grand Cherokee has a stall problem. So, whatever they did to fix that is what they did to fix mine. I know at one point, they took my transmission out - they really OVERHAULED, LOOKED AND RESEARCHED to find this fix. I still think that we all need to tell the National Highway Safety people about our problems, but in the meantime, have your dealership call the dealership I have been dealing with and maybe they can get it fixed. Let's keep our fingers crossed that it really works - it's been about a month!

Once again my 2006 Jeep Commander Limited stalled on me. This time I was in heavy traffic in NY with a huge truck behind me!!! I went to the dealer and they cannot get the truck to stall so they think I am crazy. I was told the computer never registered a problem and they cannot duplicate it so there is nothing that can be done. How am I suppose to travel to work and not worry about my safety? I have done some research and have found that the NHTSA is conducting their own investigation. It was really simple. It takes about 10 minutes on the phone (888-327-4236) or you can email a complaint. They have quite a few people who have already complained. Unfortunately my service company will not call another state to figure out how other dealers are trying to fix this problem like the one blog suggested.

Replying to: jenh1 (Jan 12, 2007 4:16 am) I found on the consumers affairs website that two stalls have resulted in accidents. Though you might want to know since I am just as frustrated as you.

Take your car back to the dealer and insist that they install a Star Mobile Data recorder in your vehicle and show you how to trigger it. It's very simple, just push a button when it happens. If you are able to reproduce the event yourself it will save the dealer time in trying to fix it. You might also suggest that they call STAR center and ask to speak with someone who knows about the stalling issue. There is a questionnaire that can be faxed to the dealer to get some specifics about the incident.
