That is almost certainly an ESP event, the way you describe it happening. If you don't understand how ESP works, have the dealer explain it to you or read up on it in your owner's manual. It is designed to prevent wheel spin, it reduces engine power which may feel like a hesitation but it's really keeping the vehicle under control.

Okay fellow Jeep owners...I have a new tip for you. Call your state Governer's Office of Consumer Affairs. They will clarify what your rights are...it turns out that even though my car is over a year old, I still qualify for the Lemon Law in Georgia. It also turns out, that my dealership was not completely honest with what things qualify. It turns out that one stall/fix attemt with a second stall is enough to qualify. It is a simple (3) step process in our state. I will keep everyone posted. The first step is to get a copy of your vehicles history and get a clear vision of how many attempts were given to fix each problem. Good Luck!
P.S. There were too other organizations with my state that I was told to call, I am sure they are in each state, so let me know if you need more info.

in my state it works very different but also the same fact will be true in your state.you can bring it in a million times in less than a year if i dont replace any parts or put on the repair order no problem found unable to duplicate customers concern at this time. those repair attempts dont count.and when you go to court with repair orders that state that they promptly throw them out of the case and 99.9 percent chrysler wins lemon law cases.i was involed in one buy back of the commander and it was because the left window quit working three times and we put three different parts in.its very tough to get them to recall something like this because in their eyes they dont know why it stalls just like everybody else.good luck all

I too live in GA and I have a 2006 Jeep Commander with 25000 miles on it. It stalled on me on my way to work one afternoon and all of the lights on the dash came on, the A/C turned off, the RPMs dropped to 0 and started to stutter very badly. I had it towed back to the dealership and the next day they called and said that they updated the software. 3 days later my wife was driving and it stalled twice in the same trip...once she was turning a curve and had to run off the road!! The car is back at the dealership again now. Can someone please tell me what I need to do to qualify my car for the Lemon Law? I will NOT let my wife drive that car again and to be honest...I don't want to drive it anymore either! For you other GA residents...imagine driving down 400 (or any other freeway) going about 75 -85 MPH (which is the norm here) and have this car stall...could you imagine what could happen...how many people have to die before Jeep will recall this piece of crap?
Please any help would be much appreciated. I'm looking to dump my Commander ASAP!
Thanks and good luck!

As of May 1, 2007 The National Highway Safety Administration has opened a preliminary investigation that could lead to the recall of 136,444 Jeep Commanders because the engine stalls unexpectedly.
I have a 2006 Commander which I am leasing, in the past 4 months it has stalled 4 times-all of which were different driving scenarios. I have taken it to my dealership like many of you before and of course they can't duplicate it. I have called around to numerous dealerships like Chrysler suggested and none of them can help me....surprise!!! I am 9 months pregnant with a 2 year old and I am scared to death to drive this car. I contacted Chrysler and they are more than willing to blame the dealership than take responsibility for a dangerous car. I lodged a complaint with the NHTSA and I am waiting on paperwork to start an investigation.
I, like the rest of you are at a loss, until Chrysler admits a problem none of us are going to get a resolve.

I called the Governer's Office of Consumer Affairs and spoke with the nicest guy. Here is a link:
http://consumer.georgia.gov/00/channel_title/0,2094,5426814_39105738,00.html
Print out the Additional Lemon Law Forms. It is very simple and easy to understand. We just got a copy of our vehicle history printed out from Ed Voyles and are getting ready to start compiling the information. (How many times it was in for each thing.) I spoke with a really nice guy names Eric and the office of consumer affairs. I will keep everyone posted. Hope that helps. I can't believe that the national highway safety people still haven't recalled it with that many people calling and complaining.

I have had the same issue with my Jeep. The Jeep just shuts down. Like you, I take the Jeep in to the dealership only to be told they have been unable to duplicate the problem. The last few times I have been able to predict when it is subject to shut down. A couple of days before the shut down, the Jeep will get a little skip/sluggish while traveling in slow traffic once this starts it is just a matter of time before the shut down

I love the look of my Commander, but I am having many problems with it that seem minor until I get killed!
My problems:
-Car stalls when turning or slowing down - turning left in front of traffic is a gamble!
-There is a high-pitched noise that comes from the right passenger side when on the interstate.
-The gas tank does not let me fill up past 3/4 of a tank - it kicks off and won't let anything else in. This means that I am filling up all of the time.
I had the car in for the stalling a couple of weeks ago, any my dealership said that this is a problem they are having. I was told it needed a software update, but it stalled again after the update.

The same thing happens to me. I didn't think about it until you said it. I have noticed that mine will jump for a little while and then it shuts down after this starts. I originally thought I had a loose spark plug or something. I try to do the right thing and buy an American car, but I have never had problems with my Mazdas or Nissans!

The noise you are talking about is what we call the "whistle" - Jeep knows about it...it has to do with how the window is/isn't sealed and a firewall thing I think. My windshield was replaced twice, but after the second time, it doesn't seem to happen as often and when it does it's barely there. The stalling is not a software update. Have your dealer call Krissy at Ed Voyles Chrysler/Jeep in Marietta, GA. Whatever they did to mine seems to helped the stalling...it has become sluggish again, but it has not cut off since they did whatever it was that they did.
