2007 Jeep Commander 4x4 complaints

ENGINE STALL,, MULTIPLE TIMES,, ENGINE JUST SIMPLY SHUT OFF..... USUALLY STALL ON HIGHWAY (60~75 MPH),, ONE TIME IN CITY (20~35 MPH)..... WENT TO CERTIFIED CHRYSLER JEEP DEALERSHIP (SERVICE CENTER),, NO ERROR CODE READING,, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT,, NO SPECIAL WARNING GO OFF,, NO PROBLEM FOUND..... NO SOLUTION..... *TR

WHILE COMING TO A STOP, FRONT RIGHT BALL JOINT FAILED CAUSING LOWER CONTROL ARM TO PIVOT DOWNWARDS WITH WHEEL ATTACHED. VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP RESTING ON WHEEL WHICH WAS NOW FACING DOWN. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING AT 40MPH MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER LOST POWER ACCELERATOR WOULD NO RESPOND THE SERVICE PARK ASSIST MESSAGE CAME ON AS DID THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND ALL THE GEAR INDICATORS IN THE DASH LIT UP. I STOPPED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND AFTER I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED IT WAS FINE FOR A FEW MORE MILES AND IT DID IT AGAIN AND AGAIN. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY JEEP DEALER AND THEY CHECKED IT OUT AND FOUND IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE AND I JUST HAD TO PAY $1,329.59 TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I WAS LUCKY I WAS DRIVING ON SIDE STREETS AS IN TRAFFIC OR ON THE HIGHWAY IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED ON THE 2006 COMMANDER AND JEEP RECALLED THEM AND THERE ARE THE SAME NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 2007 WHY IS IT THAT NOTHING IS BEING DONE TO HAVE THEM CORRECT THIS. *TR

THE 2007 JEEP COMMANDER'S ENGINE AND POWER SHUT OFF AT HIGHWAY SPEED (APPROX 65 MPH) ON I-95. THE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES WERE NOT OPERATIONAL. MY WIFE HAD TO CROSS FOUR LANES OF TRAFFIC TO STOP THE VEHICLE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO ATTEMPT TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE KEY WAS NOT BUMPED OR TOUCHED WHEN THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE DID RESTART AFTER COMING TO A STOP. *TR

I HAD COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND WHEN I ACCELERATED MY VEHICLE IT STALLED AS I WAS ROUNDING A CORNER. MY ENGINE LIGHT BEGAN TO FLASH. THE PRND LETTERS ON THE DASH ALL LIT UP AND THE SCREEN READ SERVICE PARK ASSIST. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN MULTIPLE TIMES WHERE ALL THE LETTERS LIGHT UP AND IT WILL NOT ACCELERATE ON THE HIGHWAY. I CAN USUALLY TELL WHEN IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN BECAUSE IT TENDS TO STRUGGLE ON ACCELERATION. SOMETIMES IT WILL KICK BACK AND THEN LETTERS LIGHT UP. REALLY ANNOYING WHEN IT HAPPENS 4-5 TIMES A DAY. OTHER TIMES IT HAPPENS AS I'M GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE OTHER VEHICLES BEHIND HAVE TO BRAKE FAST DUE TO STALL. VERY DANGEROUS!! *TR

THIS IS IN RELATION TO PREVIOUS COMPLAINTS 10333965 AND 10381374. SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN ON OCT 24, 2011. WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY AT ABOUT 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE MADE A SUDDEN AND VIOLENT JERK BUT DID NOT TOTALLY LOSE POWER LIKE IN MOST OTHER SITUATIONS. THIS PROBLEM HAS NOT OCCURRED SINCE FEBRUARY 2011 AND SEEMS TO ONLY OCCUR IN COLD WEATHER. *TT

IT WAS A RAINY DAY. I PULLED MY CAR IN TO THE GARAGE AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. PULLED OUT THE KEY AND ENTERED MY HOUSE. THE GARAGE IS CONNECTED TO MY HOME. I CAME BACK TO THE GARAGE SOME TIME LATER TO FIND THE ENGINE WAS STILL ON. I RAN TO THE DRIVERS SEAT TO SEE NO KEY IN THE IGNITION AND VERIFIED THE REMOTE ENGINE FEATURE WASN'T ENGAGED, IT IS DESIGNED TO TURNOFF AFTER THE CAR DOOR IS OPEN FOR A SHORT TIME. THE ENGINE WOULDN'T SHUT OFF. I BROUGHT IT TO MY HUSBAND, WHO DROVE IT A BIT AND COULD NOT GET THE ENGINE OFF. EVENTUALLY IT SELF CORRECTED. A TRULY DANGEROUS ISSUE SINCE THIS CAR IS PARKED IN MY HOME. WE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER ABOUT 4 TIMES, AND WHILE THE ENGINE HASN'T DONE THAT AGAIN, VARIOUS PARTS OF THE CAR TURN ON SPONTANEOUSLY. A SINGLE HEAD LIGHT, A SINGLE BRAKE LIGHT, ALL THE LIGHTS. IT SEEMS THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM NO LONGER HAS FULL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND THAT IS DANGEROUS. I BELIEVE MY CAR IS JUST ONE OF MANY 2007 JEEPS THAT ARE HAVING ENORMOUS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, MY CASE JUST ILLUSTRATES HOW DANGEROUS THIS COULD BE. A CAR ENGINE RUNNING SPONTANEOUSLY IS UNACCEPTABLE AND IT IS CLEAR THIS IS JUST A SYMPTOM OF A COMMON PROBLEM TO ALL THESE JEEPS. *TR

2007 JEEP COMMANDER ENGINE STALLS OUT WHILE DRIVING INTERMITTENTLY. *TR

DRIVING AT 55 MPH AND SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND STALLED. THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL AS THE ANTI LOCK BRAKE LIGHT. I COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CAME TO A STOP. I STARTED THE VEHICLE RIGHT BACK UP AND DROVE STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM BUT FOUND A STORED CODE THAT THEY SENT TO CHRYSLER FOR CLARIFICATION. DEALERSHIP SAID THEY WOULD CONTACT ME WHEN THEY HEARD FROM CHRYSLER WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. *TR

A WOMAN MADE A LEFT HAND TURN IN FRONT OF OUR CAR, CUTTING US OFF, CAUSING MY FRONT END TO CRASH INTO THE SIDE OF HER CAR. WE WERE TRAVELING ABOUT 35 MILES AN HOUR, THE SPEED LIMIT, AT THE TIME OF THE CRASH. THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. BECAUSE OF THIS MY PASSENGER AND I HIT THE DASH. THE FRONT END LOOKED TO BE TOTALED.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE WAITING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE SPARK PLUGS WERE DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE REMEDY FAILED TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE SECOND TIME THE FAILURE OCCURRED THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED WHICH ALSO DID NOT CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER A THIRD TIME, BUT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 61, 000.

WHILE STARTING TRUCK PARK ASSIST MESSAGE CAME UP (CHECK PARK ASSIST) ALL GEAR BOXERS HIGHLIGHTED ON DASH , CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, PUT TRUCK INTO DRIVE ,BANGED HARDED ,LOSS POWER, SHUT OFF PARK ASSIST MESSAGE GONE ,CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STILL ON, HIGHLIGHTS AT GEAR BOXES GONE , PUT LOST POWER.. BEEN READING ABOUT THIS ON WEB SITES SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH A MODULE READ ABOUT PEOPLE STALLING, I HAVE NOT YET BUT THIS HAS HAPPEN 3 TIMES TO MY TRUCK SO FAR.. 2007 JEEP COMMANDER WITH 37,000 MILES ONLY I DONT WANT IT TO STALL AND GET REAR ENDED ON THE HIGHWAY AND GET HURT OR ANYONE ELSE IS THERE A NATIONAL PROBLEM WITH THIS HAPPENING?? SEEMS TO BE A HAZARD TO BEING SAFE.... *TR

MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER HAS CONTINUED TO HAVE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED AND DEALER HAS REPLACED IGNITION SWITCH, WIRES WITHIN THE WIRING HARNESS, STARTER AND NOW THEY ADMIT THAT THEY HAD TO CONTACT CHRYSLER MECHANICS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THREE TIMES IT'S BEEN AT THE DEALER FOR THE REPAIR AND NOW SUBJECT TO LEMON LAW. THERE ARE NUMEROUS REPORTS AND MORE SERIOUS ONES WITH JEEP COMMANDERS LOSING POWER EITHER AFTER BEING PARKED THEN ATTEMPTING TO START OR WHILE DRIVING, CAUSING HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS. *TR

I OWN A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER 4 X 4 3.7L. AFTER HAVING SOME ISSUES WITH, WHAT I THOUGHT WAS THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING, I CHECKED AND ADDED TRANS. FLUID AND HAD BOTH TRANS LINES REPLACED DUE TO LEAKING. EVERYTHING SEEMED TO BE OK FOR A COUPLE WEEKS, UNTIL I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND NOT ONLY WAS THERE A DELAY WHEN I WOULD TRY TO ACCELERATE, THE SERVICE PARKING ASSIST SYSTEM MESSAGE APPEARED A COUPLE TIMES, ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 30 MILES PER HOUR AND THE RPMS WOULD RUN ABOVE 2 ON THE DASH. I PARKED, TURNED THE ENGINE OFF, HOPING IT WOULD RESET THE SYSTEM, BUT IT STILL CONTINUED TO REPEAT THE SAME THINGS WHEN I TURNED EVERYTHING BACK ON AGAIN. THIS WENT ON FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES. THEN AFTER 10 MINUTES PASSED, I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND WHEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE FROM THE STOP, ONCE THE LIGHT TURNED, THE VEHICLE FELT AS IF IT WAS GOING TO STALL. I STARTED RESEARCHING THE SYMPTOMS THAT I WAS HAVING AND IT SEEMS TO BE RECURRING IN MANY 2007 JEEP COMMANDERS. MOST OF THE COMPLAINTS THAT I READ ABOUT, STATE THAT THE DEALER TOLD THEM THE EITHER THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE OR THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE WAS FAULTY. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE FURTHER. MY JEEP IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD AND ONLY HAS 50K MILES ON IT AND FOR A SERIOUS PROBLEM LIKE THIS TO BE GOING ON WITH SO FEW MILES, THIS JUST DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT. *TR

I OWN A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER AND NOW IT WILL SHIFT IN LOW SPEED MODE WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I HAVE THE DEALER REST IT AND IT DID IT AGAIN WHILE COMING HOME. THE REPLACEMENT OF THIS MODULE IS 1000 DOLLARS AND WITH ONLY 104K MILES I FEEL THAT FOR SAFETY AND RELIABILITY THIS SHOULD IS ON RECALL. THIS JEEP IS ONLY 4 YRS OLD AND TO EARLY FOR THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. *TR

SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM WOULD COME UP AND P R N D WOULD LIGHT UP, THEN JEEP WOULD NOT ACCELERATE UNTIL I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL OR PARK AND THEN BACK INTO DRIVE. A COUPLE OF TIMES WHEN IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE IT HAD COMPLETELY STALLED OUT FOR NO REASON. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITENTLY DURING THIS TIME. ALSO, MANUAL SHIFT BEVEL STOPPED WORKING ABOUT 4 MONTHS AFTER GETTING THE VEHICLE (STILL COVERED BY WARRANTY) AND WAS REPLACED, STOPPED WORKING ABOUT 5 MONTHS AFTER THAT AND WAS REPLACED WITH THE WARRANTY BUT THEN STOPPED WORKING AGAIN ABOUT 3 MONTHS LATER AND IS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY ANY LONGER. ABOUT 1 MONTH AGO HEARD A LOUD NOISE AS I WAS GOING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE AND NOW EVERYTIME IT SHIFTS FROM FIRST TO SECOND OR SECOND TO FIRST IT SHIFTS VERY HARD. *TR

MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER LEAKS THROUGH THE SCREW HOLES IN THE HANDLE ON THE UPPER SIDE OF DRIVER AND PASSENGER WINDOW WHEN IT RAINS. HOW DO I FIX IT? *TR

THE ABOVE INFORMATION WAS FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED THE CAR WILL STALL OUT OF NO WHERE DUE TO THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE. I HAD IT REPLACED 11/08 WHICH WAS ONLY A YEAR AFTER THE CAR WAS MADE. IT IS COMPLETELY ACTING UP AGAIN AND THE MODULE NEEDS REPLACED AGAIN. I UNDERSTAND THAT THEY HAVE NOT RECALLED THIS ISSUE BUT THERE ARE OVER 145 COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE BUT YET ON YOUR WEBSITE IT SAYS A RECALL IS NECESSARY WHEN THERE IS A SAFETY-RELATED DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE OR EQUIPMENT. A SAFETY DEFECT IS DEFINED AS A PROBLEM THAT EXISTS IN A MOTOR VEHICLE OR ITEM OF MOTOR VEHICLE EQUIPMENT THAT: POSES A RISK TO MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY. EXAMPLES OF DEFECTS CONSIDERED SAFETY-RELATED:STEERING COMPONENTS THAT BREAK SUDDENLY CAUSING PARTIAL OR COMPLETE LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL. ACCELERATOR CONTROLS THAT MAY BREAK OR STICK. CRITICAL VEHICLE COMPONENTS THAT BREAK, FALL APART, OR SEPARATE FROM THE VEHICLE, CAUSING POTENTIAL LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL OR INJURY TO PERSONS INSIDE OR OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. ALONG WITH THE ABOVE I HAVE CHILDREN AND IF THEY ARE INSIDE THIS VEHICLE WHILE SOMETHING HAPPENS JUST WAIT UNTIL I SLAP THE LAWSUIT ALONG WITH THE MANY OTHERS AS A RESULT OF THIS ISSUE THAT NOBODY IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT. I ALMOST WAS REAR ENDED ON THE EXPRESSWAY BY VEHICLES GOING 75 MPH BECAUSE OF THE CAR STALLING/NOT WANTING TO ACCELERATE! I WANT ANSWERS AND I WANT THEM NOW!

2007 JEEP COMMANDER (4.7 FLEX FUEL), APPROX 35,000 MILES. HAS STALLED 6-7 TIMES IN ONE YEAR OF OWNERSHIP. USUALLY OCCURS WHEN VEHICLE IS AT LOW IDLE, SUCH AS PARKING LOT MANEUVERS, COMING TO A STOP, ETC. CONSEQUENCES ARE VEHICLE DIES, LOSS OF ALL POWER, POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS, SHOULD THE VEHICLE BE IN AN INTERSECTION, ETC ETC. NO REPAIR EFFORTS AT THIS TIME HAVE BEEN STARTED, NO CLEAR CUT SOLUTION OFFERED. *TR

2007 JEEP COMMANDER ENGINE STALLING PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE INITIALLY STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH. IT HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR APPROXIMATELY 8 WEEKS AND CONTINUES TO STALL WHILE DRIVING, IDLING, AND TURNING. IT HAS BEEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THEY CONTINUE TO REPLACE THINGS AT RANDOM THAT ARE NOT CORRECTING THE PROBLEM AND HAVE TOLD US THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING IT TO CONTINUALLY STALL. SO FAR EVERY TIME IT HAS STALLED IT HAS STARTED RIGHT BACK UP BUT MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS THAT IT WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF I CAN'T GET IT OFF THE RIDE WHEN IT STALLS WHILE DRIVING. *TR

FOLLOWING UP ON THIS. IT APPEARS MR. [XXX] MAY NO LONGER BE WITH DOT / NHTSA [XXX]TO: [XXX] SUBJECT: FW: NHTSA INQUIRY - 2007 JEEP COMMANDER DATE: WED, 9 FEB 2011 20:19:20 -0700 DEAR MR. [XXX]: THIS PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED AND EVEN BECOME MORE FREQUENT -- PROBABLY OCCURRING ABOUT 8 TIMES IN THE PAST 2 MONTHS AND APPROX 6 TIMES IN THE PAST THREE WEEKS. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN DURING COLD WEATHER (NO INCIDENTS FROM ABOUT ABOUT JULY 2010 TO DECEMBER 2010). IT HAS ALSO HAPPENED AT SLOWER SPEEDS THAN THE 55-65 MPH DESCRIBED BELOW OCCURRING TWICE AT SPEEDS UNDER 45 MPH IN THE PAST MONTH. I'VE ALSO HAD A FEW INCIDENTS WHERE THE VEHICLE HESITATES BUT KEEPS RUNNING. USUALLY IT JUST QUITS COMPLETELY, THOUGH. THIS IS ALL VERY FRUSTRATING BECAUSE JEEP HAS ALWAYS TOLD US NOTHING IS WRONG. [XXX] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FROM: [XXX] TO: [XXX] SUBJECT: RE: NHTSA INQUIRY - 2007 JEEP COMMANDER DATE: FRI, 2 JUL 2010 21:15:42 -0600 I'VE ANSWERED IN THE BODY OF THE MESSAGE BELOW. [XXX] SUBJECT: NHTSA INQUIRY - 2007 JEEP COMMANDER DATE: FRI, 2 JUL 2010 12:54:57 -0400 FROM: [XXX] TO: [XXX] DEAR [XXX], HERE AT OFFICE OF DEFECTS INVESTIGATIONS AT THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, WE HAVE RECEIVED YOUR COMPLAINT ON YOUR 2007 JEEP COMMANDER WITH STALLING PROBLEM. WE CURRENTLY RECEIVED MORE COMPLAINT ON THIS STALLING ISSUE AND WE ARE COLLECTING INFORMATION ON THIS ISSUE. COULD YOU TAKE SOME TIME AND PLEASE ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS REGARDING YOU

I HAVE A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER ROCKY MTN EDITION, THIS FAILURE HAS HAPPENED 30 TO 40 TIMES WITH ME. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY REGARDLESS OF SPEED, I LOOSE ALL CONTROL TO THE THROTTLE(GAS PEDAL) IF I FLOOR IT THE TACK DOESN'T MOVE AND I WILL SLOW TO A STOP, I PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD PUT IT IN "N" AND THEN BACK INTO "D" AND IT SEEMS TO BE OK FOR AWHILE. WHEN IT HAPPENS THE SERVICE PARK ASSIST LIGHT FLASHES AND ALL POSITIONS OF THE GEARS LIGHT UP AT THE SAME TIME, P, R N D. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE CODE WAS THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT CONTROL MODULA. I TOLD THEM THAT THIS FAILURE WAS NOTED ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND ASKED IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON IT. THEY LAUGHED AND TOLD ME THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM, $851.00 PLUS LABOR WHICH I COULD NOT AFFORD AT THIS TIME., THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM AND DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC ESPECIALLY. OR CHANGING LANES ON THE INTERSTATE. BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS FOUND ABOUT THIS FAILURE AND IT IS SUCH A SAFETY ISSUE I THOUGH YOU SHOULD BE NOTIFIED. WILL BE WAITING TO HERE SOME RESPONSE, RESPECTFULLY. *LN

1. MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER ACTS AS IF IT SLIPS OUT OF DRIVE TO NEUTRAL. ALL THE P R N D LIGHTS LIGHT UP AND I HAVE NO GAS POWER. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT. I HAVE TO PUSH THE SHIFTER TO THE RIGHT TO TRY AND GET IT TO GO IN GEAR OR PULL OVER AND NOT DRIVE IT. BROUGHT IT IN AND STATED IT WAS THE STARTER. FIXED THAT AND NOW THE PROBLEM IS WORSE. THE CAR WILL NOT GO OVER 20 MPH. I FINALLY HAVE A NEW CHRYSLER DEALER THAT IS GOING THROUGH PROPER STEPS TO FIGURE THE PROBLEM OUT AND THE HAVE KEPT ME INFORMED. THE OUTCOME IS A ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE. I AM JUST OVER MY WARRANTY AND IT IS GOING TO COST APPROX. $1000.00 TO FIX PLUS THE $397 I JUST SPENT ON THE STARTER THAT I MAY HAVE NOT NEEDED. THE WORST PART IS I GOOGLED THIS PROBLEM AND THERE ARE SO MANY COMMANDERS OUT THERE THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT IS A HAZARD AND SAFETY ISSUE! GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 65 AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN NO POWER IS SCARY. *TR

ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE OUT AGAIN!! *TR

ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE WENT OUT AGAIN. *TR

IGNITION SWITCH OUT?? ELECTRICAL SYSTEM HAS GONE HAYWIRE! RADIO DOESN'T WORK. COMPLETELY DIED ON ME AND COULD NOT RESTART FOR 30 MINUTES...ARRRRRR. *TR

ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE WENT OUT WHICH STALLED MY CAR WHILE DRIVING. *TR

TRANSMISSION CUP PLUG LEAKING. *TR

SUNROOF LEAKING. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER ALL FOUR GEARS WOULD SHOW THEM BEING HIGHLIGHTED (P-N-R-D) AND WHEN THIS WOULD HAPPEN IT WOULD LOSE POWER AND SLOW DOWN TO A POINT WHERE THERE WAS A CONCERN ABOUT BEING REAR ENDED IF IT COULD NOT BE PULLED OVER. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE. IN LOOKING ON THE INTERNET THIS IS NOT A ISOLATED INCIDENT BUT IS OCCURRING NATION-WIDE. THE SERVICE MANAGER EVEN SAID THAT THEY GET ABOUT ONE OF THESE A MONTH. THIS IS JUST ONE DEALER AND APPEARS TO BE NATION-WIDE FROM WHAT I SAW ON THE INTERNET. BOTH THE DEALER AND CHRYSLER HAVE SAID THAT THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT EXCEPT REPAIR THIS PROBLEM AT THE CONSUMERS EXPENSE. THIS IS DEFINITELY A PROBLEM THAT CHRYSLER IS IGNORING BUT SOMEDAY THEY MAY BE FACING A LAW SUIT IF THEIR IS A BAD ACCIDENT. *TR

SERVICE PARK ASSIST LIGHT CAME ON AND ALL POWER WAS LOST. CODE SHOWS A TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE IT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM ON THE JEEP COMMANDER. SAFETY ISSUE WHEN YOUR TRAVELING AT 65MPH AND YOUR POWER FAILS. *TR

WE HAVE A 2007 JEEP/COMMANDER SPORT THATS REALLY SOMEWHAT A PROBLE SINCE WE BOUGHT IT (USED) AND ITS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE GETTING IT. IT HAS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH LURCHING FORWARD WHILE IN PARK/DRIVE AND WHILE YOU'RE PRESSING THE BRAKES AT A STOP. IT DID IT AT THE DEALERSHIP AS WELL THEY DID NOTHING ABOUT IT. WE'VE REPLACED INNER PARTS TO THE TRANSMISSION THAT CHRYSLER REFUSED TO COVER UNDER THE WARRANTY. WE'VE HAD SOME TYPE OF MODULE REPLACED A COUPLE OF TIMES BECAUSE THE TRUCK STARTED RUNNING ROUGH( CHRYSLER COVERED THAT) EACH TIME IT HAPPENED. THERES SO MUCH WE CAAN COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS TRUCK AND CHRYSLER DOESNT WNAT TO COVER NON OF THE MAJOR THINGS. THERE'S DEFINITELY /ALWAYS HAS BEEN AN ENGINE PROBLEM. *TR

AT INTERMITTENT TIMES THE VEHICLE WOULD DELAY UPON PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR AND NOT SHIFT PROPERLY. IT WAS TAKEN TO BE SERVICED AFTER THE TRANSMISSION REVERTED TO "SAFE MODE" WHILE DRIVING. DEALER RESET THE SYSTEM. ACCELERATION AND SHIFTING PROBLEMS CONTINUED UNTIL "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT ILLUMINATED TOGETHER WITH THE "SERVICE PARKING ASSIST SYSTEM" MESSAGE. WERE INFORMED BY THE DEALER THAT THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE WAS FAULTY AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. DEALER ALSO INFORMED US THAT THE PART HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY REPLACED BY AN AUTHORIZED JEEP SERVICE CENTER PRIOR TO US PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. *TR

MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER HAS STALLED AND LOST VARIOUS VEHICLE FUNCTIONS. THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES WITH NO PRIOR WARNINGS FROM THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. I HAVE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. MY COMMANDER HAS ONLY 33K MILES ON IT. THE DEALER SAID THE PROBLEM WAS SOME SORT OF "ELECTRONICS BOARD", THEY REPLACED IT. HOWEVER, THE JEEP HAS STALLED AGAIN AND NOW THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT IS ON AGAIN! THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THE COMMANDERS. I ASK NHTSA TO PLEASE SERIOUSLY CONSIDER A RECALL TO CORRECT THESE ISSUES. THE COMMANDERS ARE NOW CREEPING UP IN AGE AND ARE NOW OUT OF FACTORY WARRANTY. PLEASE HELP TO CORRECT THESE ISSUES BEFORE THERE ARE MORE INJURIES OR DEATH. LETS KEEP IN MIND THAT THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE WHO PURCHASED COMMANDERS ARE USING THEM AS A "FAMILY VEHICLE"! THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP IN THIS MATTER. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND LOST ALL POWER. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT RESTARTED THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY AFTER IT STALLED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE SHIFT MODULE BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHO COULD NOT FIND THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO TOOK HIS COMPLAINT AND STATED THAT A REPRESENTATIVE WOULD CONTACT HIM WITHIN 24 HOURS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,075.

MY FRONT BRAKES LOCKED UP WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY THE FIRST TIME 11/4/10. I WAS TOLD FROM THE DEALERSHIP THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THIS ISSUE, BUT GOT AN ERROR FROM THE CAR THAT SAID THE FRONT RIGHT WHEEL WAS GOING FASTER THEN ALL THE REST OF THE TIRES AND THE ABS ACTIVATED AND LOCKED UP THE FRONT WHEELS. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN 12/15/10 AND THE ABS, SLIPPERY WHEN WET, ESP, BAS, AND SERVICE 4 WHEEL DRIVE LIGHTS CAME ON. THE DEALERSHIP TESTED IT AGAIN AND GOT THE SAME ERROR MESSAGE. THEY REPLACED THE SENSOR ON THE FRONT RIGHT PASSENGER WHEEL, AND STATED THAT THIS MAY HAVE FIXED IT, BUT THAT THEY ARE NOT 100% SURE HOW TO FIX THE ISSUE. I BELIEVE THIS IS SIMILAR TO RECALL 06V493000. I HAVE ALSO FILED A CLAIM WITH CHRYSLER. NO ONE WILL HELP ME. I AM AFRAID FOR MY SAFETY AS WELL AS MY FAMILIES IN THIS CAR. I CAN NOT AFFORD A CONTINUOUS RENTAL OR TO PURCHASE A NEW CAR. I AM NOW OUT TIME LOSS AT WORK, CAR RENTAL, TOWING, AND COSTLY REPAIRS. PLEASE HELP ME. *TR

OUR 2007 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4 4.3L HAS A RECURRING STALLING PROBLEM. THEY VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY NOT START, ALREADY REPLACED A STARTER, WITH ONLY 54,000 ON THE JEEP. WHILE DRIVING IN ALL TRAFFIC CONDITIONS,THE VEHICLE WILL HESITATED AND OCCASIONALLY JUST TURN OFF. *TR

VEHICLE STALLS WHENEVER IT WANTS TOO. DRIVING DOWN FREEWAY AT 70MPH VEHICLE WILL TURN OFF AND ALL SYSTEMS SHUT DOWN CAUSING IT TO BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. VEHICLE STALLS AT STOP SIGNS AND SIGNALS AS WELL. SOMETIMES IT WILL GO FOR WEEKS WITHOUT STALLING AND THEN WILL SUDDENLY STALL WITHOUT WARNING. DEALER CAN NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG AND WANTS TO PLAY THE GUESSING GAME WITH FIXING IT, HAVE REPLACED MANY DIFFERENT PARTS,OVER $500 SO FAR, BUT STILL STALLS. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. NOT THE LIMITED EDITION. IN THE 4 MONTHS THAT I HAVE OWNED IT, IT HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING 3 TIMES RESULTING IN A NEW ESM, SUDDENLY LUNGED FORWARD, ON ITS OWN, WHILE STOPPED IN TRAFFIC, AND NOW STRANDED OUR FAMILY TWICE WITH NOT STARTING. THE FIRST TWO PROBLEMS ARE A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO AND RECALLED IMMEDIATELY. STALLING WHILE DRIVING IS BEYOND DANGEROUS! WITH THE SUDDENLY ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN WHILE I WAS STOPPED IN TRAFFIC, HAD I NOT HAD MY FOOT FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE, SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN HURT. MY AUTISTIC SON WAS IN THE CAR WITH ME ON THAT OCCASION AND ON THE STALLING OCCASIONS, ALL 4 OF MY KIDS WERE IN THE VEHICLE. I HAVE LOST ALL CONFIDENCE IN MOPAR PRODUCTS AND JEEP NEEDS TO RECALL THESE HUNKS OF JUNK BEFORE SOMEONE, OR AN ENTIRE FAMILY, GETS HURT OR KILLED. PLEASE MAKE JEEP FIX THESE PROBLEMS IMMEDIATELY TO AVOID DISASTER LIKE TOYOTA HAS FACED. *TR

2007 JEEP COMMANDER 85K MILES PROBLEM STARTED WITH SERVICE PARK ASSIST LIGHT COMING ON. CAR THEN WOULD NOT ACCELERATE FOR 10-15 SECONDS. APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS LATER (YESTERDAY) SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED. THIS TIME I WAS ON THE ON RAMP TO THE HIGHWAY WHERE THEY ARE DOING CONSTRUCTION. THERE IS NO BREAKDOWN LANE, SO WHEN YOU GET ON THE HIGHWAY YOU ARE IN FIRST LANE. AS SOON AS I GOT INTO THE FIRST LANE, THE SERVICE PARK ASSIST LIGHT CAME ON, THE P R N D LIGHTS WERE ALL ILLUMINATED, THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AGAIN FOR APPROXIMATELY 20 SECONDS AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS AGAIN, THERE IS NO BREAKDOWN LANE TO PULL OVER. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, THEY CANNOT TAKE THE CAR FOR A COUPLE DAYS. AFTER READING THE COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER 2007 JEEP OWNERS WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM, I PRINTED THESE AND BROUGHT THEM TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY INDICATED THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM AND THAT I CAN PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND TAKE IT FROM THERE. I WAS ALSO GIVEN THE TELEPHONE NUMBER FOR CHRYSLER. I HAD MY SON IN THE CAR, I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR AND WILL HAVE TO FIND AN ALTERNATE ROUTE TO WORK AS THIS EXIT WILL BE THIS WAY FOR SOME TIME AND HAD A CAR BEEN CLOSER BEHIND ME, WE WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT. *TR

2007 JEEP COMMANDER WONT START SAYS TRANSOVER TEMP. ALSO WHEN IT DOES START AFTER SITTING FOR DAYS IT WILL LIGHT UP ALL GEARS AND STALL. DEALERSHIP SAYS ITS THE SHIFTER FOR BOTH PROBLEMS AND $690 TO FIX. OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND GOT THE SHIFTER REPLACED AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN AFTER A YEAR. *TR

2007 JEEP COMMANDER SHUT OFF ON HIGHWAY. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER WITH 32K MILES. THE VEHICLE HAS STARTED STALLING OCCASIONALLY WHEN WE COME TO A STOP. THE TRUCK STARTS RIGHT UP AGAIN. THE TRUCK HAS THE HEMI 5.7. WE HAVE EXPERIENCED 4 EPISODES SO FAR. *TR

MY 2007 COMMANDER, RECENTLY KEEPS ALARMING ME SERVICE PARK ASSIST WHILE LIGHTING UP ALL THE DRIVE BOXES, WHILE IM DRIVING. WHEN IT DOES THIS I CANNOT GIVE THE CAR GAS SO I HAVE TO PULL OVER, SHUT THE CAR OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON. ITS BEEN DOING THIS ON AND OFF FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS. USUALLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, I WILL TAKE IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND WHEN THEY HOOK IT UP TO THE TESTER, IT DOESN'T TELL THEM ANYTHING IS WRONG AND THEY MANUALLY SHUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OFF. THE LATEST INCIDENT I WAS DRIVING ON THE TURNPIKE AND IT DID THIS, I WAS TERRIFIED BECAUSE MY TWO KIDS WERE WITH ME AND I HAD TO CUT OVER THREE LANES, PULL OFF AND SHUT THE CAR DOWN AND RESTART IT. TODAY ALL THE DRIVE OPTIONS WERE BOXED IN WHILE I WAS DRIVING BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT NEVER EVEN CAME ON, IT JUST WOULDN'T LET ME GAS AND I HAD TO DO THE SAME THING PULL OVER, SHUT OFF AND RESTART. MY TIRES ARE ALSO SHOWING UP FOR LOW PRESSURE, AND THE TIRE DEALER TOLD ME THE TIRES ON THIS MODEL ARE KNOWN FOR SMALL HOLES AROUND THE OUTSIDE RING OF THE TREAD, WHICH OF COURSE CANNOT BE FILLED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. THE VEHICLE STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE THE DRIVER WAS TRAVELING 70 MPH. SHE PULLED OVER AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT. THE VEICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE GEAR SHIFT MODULE WAS DEFECTIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE MANUFACTURER. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 40,439.

JEEP COMMANDER ENGINE STALLS WHILE DRIVING. ENGINE SHUTS DOWN, STEERING AND BRAKES LOOSE POWER, BATTERY STAYS ON. *TR

THE 2007 JEEP COMMANDER WE HAVE AT TIMES HAS NO ACCELERATION. IT LASTS ABOUT 10 TO 15 SECONDS. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. IF YOU PULL INTO TRAFFIC YOU NEVER KNOW IF THE JEEP WILL ACCELERATE OR NOT. USUALLY DOES IT WHEN IT HASN'T BEEN RUNNING LONG. I DO KNOW CHRYSLER HAS A CASE NUMBER FOR THIS ISSUE ON THERE DEALER CONNECT NETWORK CASE NUMBER [XXX] IN MY OPINION WITH WHAT THEY SAY IS WRONG ON THAT CASE STUDY THEY SHOULD BE CONTACTING OWNERS TO BRING THEM IN FOR A FLASH OF THE COMPUTER SYSTEM. IT SEEMS LIKE A SIMPLE FIX FOR THEM THAT WILL HELP AVOID ACCIDENTS. IT HAS BEEN DOING IT A FEW WEEKS AND HAPPENS EVERY COUPLE DAYS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).*TR

I HAVE A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER AND WHILE DRIVING ALONG THE HIGHWAY WITH MY TODDLERS, I NOTICED THAT IT HAD DIFFICULTY SHIFTING FROM FIRST GEAR TO SECOND GEAR. AFTER A FEW SECONDS, IT SPONTANEOUSLY SHIFTED WHICH CAUSED THE CAR TO JERK. WHILE THIS WAS HAPPENING, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I'VE ALSO NOTICED THE "SERVICE PARK ASSIST" LIGHT COMING OFTEN. THIS CAR HAS MADE ME FEEL UNSAFE AND I DON'T EXACTLY KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. I HAVE NOTICED, HOWEVER, THAT A FEW PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THIS SAME PROBLEM AND SOME WITH WORSE PROBLEMS OF THEIR CAR STALLING. I DON'T WANT THIS PROBLEM TO PERSIST ESPECIALLY BECAUSE I HAUL MY CHILDREN AROUND IN IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START AND THE TRANSMISSION WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE IGNITION SWITCH SYSTEM WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND PERSISTED FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AT LEAST FOUR TIMES FOR THE FAILURE WHERE THE STARTER WAS REPLACED TWICE. THE FAILURE PERSISTED AND THE DEALER WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 47,400.

2007 JEEP COMMANDER: AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE AND PUT INTO GEAR; GEAR ENGAGEMENT IS DELAYED. REACTION IS TO PUSH THE GAS PEDAL TO ACCELERATE. WITH THE COMBINATION OF DELAYED THE ENGAGEMENT AND ACCELERATION, THE VEHICLE COULD SURGE FORWARD OR BACKWARD BEFORE THE BRAKE CAN BE APPLIED AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.
