Just got back from the dealership. No TSB currently available for my Jeep.
No scan codes either. The tech went through all the fuses to make sure they were not any wiggling around and also made sure that all the ground wires were tight....
As dunslider said, if they can't see it they can't fix it.
One of the service writers did metion that these computers learn as they go along and when they are new sometimes have problems....
anyone heard that before?
On the good side...new seals for the hardtop and no more leaks....

Keep your fingers crossed!
Well, my jk has 6,000 miles on it and has stalled a couple of times and i've also been having the ignition "noise" problem that i've seen on other threads, although i've had the ignition thing happen regardless whether it's cold or not.
I took it to the dealer yesterday and of course it didn't show any codes when they ran the tests on the system. They said that it was the TIPM (Totally Intergrated Power Module) that was the cause of both problems per S.T.A.R. Information. They ordered the part and i am taking it in Friday.
I will keep you updated on what happens from there.

They replaced the TIPM yesterday and all of my software is up to date. I asked them if this is the fix for the stall issue or an attempt at it. They said that it should fix it and that DC had been working on it and this was a very recent fix. I don't know if they were just blowing smoke or not. We'll see. Only time will tell. It did fix something that i was wondering about. When i first got my jeep i could have swore that when i got to a certain speed all the doors would automatically lock but then one day i noticed that they weren't doing it. I looked in the manual and there wasn't anything in there about it. Then i started wondering if i had lost my mind and just imagined it. Well, when i left the service dept. yesterday, guess what, the doors automatically locked when i got up to speed. I called the service dept. and told them my experience with the locks and they said that the computer is either programmed to do or not and it must have lost the memory sometime after i got it. I'm so excited!
I will keep you up-to-date if i have anymore problems. Keep your fingers crossed.

mine did this w/ less than 1000 miles on it. the motor didn't shut off but i was driving back roads @ night. i lost lights, steering, & brakes for 2-5 seconds. not a big deal but in a tight turn or higher speed or under breaking it could have been bad. as i said everything shut down other than the motor then everything lit up and returned to normal function. it has not happened since. i got mine on saint pat's day.

Took mine to the dealer on Friday, around 2:00 they had it ready. They said they replaced the ignition switch. They also said that they have seen this before on other jeeps (did not go into detail). Hopefully this will fix it???? It seems to happen every 2-3k miles. Maybe I should just treat it as my service engine / oil change notification.
Has anyone else had their ignition switch replaced? If so have you stalled since?

stall #4
I've had my jeep for about 7 months now and my wife said it stalled on her again yesterday. it has about 13000 miles on it now. going highway speed about 70 mph. it shut down for about 3 seconds and then came back. took it to the dealer last month, they said we were the first that have had this problem at their dealership and haven't heard of anything like it anywhere else. They couldn't find anything wrong and said if it did it again bring it back and they would drive it around for a day try to find out anything. Um......yea it's happened 4 times in 13000 miles do they think its going to just take a day. thinking about calling around and see what other dealers say.

OK, so for what it is worth, the NHTSA has opened an investigation on the Commander for very similar complaints:
