Since last summer, 2017, my Commander has had issues while accelerating, downshifting, and flat out driving. Some days while coming home I can't even get up to 20MPH. Other days I can get up to 35 MPH and the car will just stop, it takes everything the Jeep has to get to the side of the road. Good news, I can always put the car in park, shut if off and turn it back and the issue will not happen again until the next time I start a drive. So far it has only happened around town (low speeds), thankfully not on the freeway. Last summer it was under warranty and nobody would touch the issue.. Note, this issue only happens in hot weather. I drove my Jeep all winter without a single problem.
Carson Dodge Jeep ran some diagnostics and got back the codes P2784 input speed sensor on transmission and P0717 input sensor on the transmission. Writing on the service report, "CHECKED VEHICLE, WENT THROUGH ALL THE GEARS, DROVE 60-65 MPH, DID NOT HAVE ANY ACCELERATION PROBLEM AT THIS TIME, CHECKED CODES, FOUND P2784 INPUT SPEED SENSOR ON TRANS, P0717 ALSO INPUT SENSOR ON TRANS. WHAT HAPPENS IS DEBRIS FROM TRANS GET ON SENSOR, WHICH IS MAGNETIC, NEEDS NEW INPUT SENSOR AND SERVICE TRANS REMOVE VALVE BODY INSTALL MAGNETIC PICKUP PLATE ON VALVE BODY".
The total fix is $1047, I opted out and picked it up. I feel like this fix can't be guaranteed from happening again in the future. Is it worth it? I don't know. I will probably end up trading it in for something that is AWD or 4WD.
