Defect. This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, drivers should adjust their seat to allow clearance between the driver's knee and the ignition key, and remove all items from their key ring, leaving only the vehicle key. Chrysler Group LLC (Chrysler) is recalling certain model year 2005-2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles manufactured February 11, 2004, to July 5, 2007, and 2006-2007 Jeep Commander vehicles manufactured January 31, 2005, to July 5, 2007. In the affected vehicles, the driver may accidentally hit the ignition key with their knee, unintentionally knocking the key out of the run position, turning off the engine.
Risk. If the ignition key inadvertently moves into the OFF or ACCESSORY position, the engine will turn off, which will then depower various key safety systems including but not limited to air bags, power steering, and power braking. Loss of functionality of these systems may increase the risk of crash and/or increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
Remedy. Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ignition switch, free of charge. Chrysler sent interim notifications to owners in September 2014. The recall began on October 9, 2015. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is P41.

Stopped vehicle, at fuel station and added more anti freeze. Gauge dropped to while normal range. Got back on highway drove 7 miles and enginle like came on and heat gauge went to high red then dropped to nothing. Got vehilcle off the road and it immediately shut down. Engine blew up. Had vehilcle towed to Jeep Dealership 12/26/2022. Need engine replaced at only 73, 000 miles. Chrysler no longer makes this engine and a rebuilt will have to go into this vehicle. No offer or explanation of why this engine blew up with such low mileage. I was left stranded in 5 degree weather for about 45 minutes along interstate trying to get my roadside assistance to help. They couldn't speak understandable english. After 40 minutes of this call I ended up calling State Police for help. I knew I was starting to go into hypothermia. State Police arrived in minutes and put me in their car to warm me up and they called tow co. That co. showed up in 15 minutes. I called Chrysler myself to try to find a new engine but they discontinued this engine in July 2022, early cut off for an engine. No new engines in inventory. No offer of any kind to assist or ask questions about possible injury/causes/or where the vehicle was. No engine should blow with this low mileage. Why did they cut off mfg of this engine so early?

Unknown. While my vehicle is set on cruise control and the weather is over 50 degrees or the air is running my cruise control will shut off. Warning lights abs, esp bas, & stability control will come on, then my cruise control won’t work anymore. Now just this morning going up a hill my car wouldn’t go pass 20 mph while my foot was to the floor basically. Then almost to the top of the hill it took off. The rmps went high Jeep shifted to next gear. Of course took my foot off petal and pushed brakes slightly. As slowing down it started shifting hard with high rmps still. I have done a new tune up and new transmission within the last 6 months. Before the new transmutation it was still doing this. The reason to replace the transmission was my Jeep just stopped completely moving. I don’t have the money to keep taking my Jeep back to the dealership for them to keep telling me they don’t know the problem. If nothing gets done about this sadly I will have to get rid of it. The cruise accrues when I’m on the highway going 60 to 65 mps. The shifting problem happen in town. Which both issues could cause a serious car wreck and harm to others and my self.

Heat shield on the muffler system. I was towing a boat up north and started to smell a burning smell. At first I thought it was an electrical issue, but couldn't identify anything. So I drove another 3 to 4 miles and the back floor boards was smoking filling the car with smoke. I pulled over and the carpet was melting from the heat of the muffler/exhaust under the back seat. When it was inspected the heat shield was not over the area that almost caught fire. This is an issue that Jeep is more than aware of and it's an issue that only happens when these vehicles are towing. They run extremely hot towing and the heat shield is defective. Their are other's that have had this happen and there's no recall! My car is equipped with tow package too and it was turned on before it's even a question. I got a call about a year ago about a family friend was towing a pop up camper and their commander caught on fire and was a total loss! Thank God no one was injured. There needs to be an investigation with people who have commander's.

My car will act like it's out of gas/convulsions, dies suddenly, and acts like it's going to die when driving. Check engine light has come on sometimes. I have only had the vehicle around one year and have had it worked on 4 times for the issue. Still isn't fully resolved. It's was the obvious issue from the start so probably an issue before I bought the vehicle. I was referred to the dealership and they quoted me 600 just for the inspection. I just paid 3000 dollars to have it fixed. Still not fixes.

I have a jeep commander 2007 limited. According to your recall dates my VIN number doesn’t fall within those dates for my car to have the recall. Although my jeep is completely stallling out while driving 69 mph, I mean loss of all electrical inside my jeep. Power steering fails, engine shuts off, I am lucky enough that my brakes still work but who is to say that won’t happen again. So when looking my VIN number up seeing that this is ONE of the recalls, my VIN number ISNT part of the vehicles that was affected by the recall but I’m still encountering the SAME issue as the recall. I’ve taken it to my mechanic he cannot seem to find the problem. I need help I just bought this car! It’s our family car so it’s not only affecting me it’s my entire family. My husband, my two year older and my elderly parents.

THE 3RD ROW SEATBELTS CLICK AS IF THEY'RE LATCHING AND DO NOT LOCK. THIS ALLOWS THEM TO POP OUT WHEN UNEXPECTED AND WOULD BE DANGEROUS IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS 3ROW PRETTY MUCH FITS CHILDREN WHO MAY NOT RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM. I PAID TO REPLACE MINE AND WITHIN 4 MONTHS THE NEW ONES I BOUGHT FROM DEALER BROKE. IT APPEARS THE FAULTY DESIGN OF THE FOLDING SEAT IS ONE THING THAT BREAKS THE SEATBELTS LATCHES. SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND JUST SELL THE VEHICLE TO SOME UNSUSPECTING PERSON. BELOW I PUT ROUGHLY THE DATE I FOUND IT, BUT HAD BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS ALREADY BROKEN. I JUST DIDN'T KNOW IT OR KNOW TO CHECK IT.

AFTER DRIVING FOR CERTAIN PERIODS OF TIME, THE JEEP WILL NOT START.. IT IS RANDOM WHEN IT DOESN'T WANT TO START.. IT HAS TO SIT FOR MINUTES OR HOURS BEFORE IT DECIDES TO START UP. IT'S BEEN TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM..

WE HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH OUR JEEP JUST SUDDENLY TURNING OFF. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION SPECIALLY SINCE WE HAVE OUR KIDS IN THE JEEP WITH US WHEN IT HAPPENS. WE COULD BE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND THE JEEP WILL JUST SHUT OFF AND WILL NOT SHOW NO PROBLEM CODES. THIS HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED AND NO SPEED. WE TURN THE JEEP ON A LET IT WARM UP. ABOUT 2 MINUTES LATER IT SHUTS OFF. WE HAVE TO TURN IT BACK ON. THEN WE WOULD BE DRIVING AT SPEED BELOW 30 MPH AND TURNS OFF. AND MOST DANGEROUSLY ON THE FREEWAY WHEN IT JUST TURNS OFF AND WE HAVE TO PULL OVER AND THIS IS HARD SPECIALLY BECAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL IS SO STIFF. HOPEFULLY JEEP/CHRYSLER CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

I DROVE TO THE STORE AND THE TRUCK DROVE FINE. I PARKED AND WENT IN THE STORE FOR ABOUT 15 MINS. CAME OUT AND TRIED TO START THE TRUCK. I WOULD START AND STOP AFTER ABOUT 3 SECONDS. I HAVE CHANGED SPARK PLUGS. WIRES. IGN. COILS. CHECKED FUSES. THE ONLY THING I CAN TELL YOU AFTER TROUBLESHOOTING IS THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ENGINE HAS 0 COMPRESSION. I HAVE LOOKED ON FORUMS AND IT SEEMS LIKE HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS OF JEEP OWNERS ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM. THEY SAY ITS THE WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE. I CAN'T SEEM TO FIND THE WCM ANYWHERE TO BUY, AND I HAVEN'T SEEN A RECALL FOR THIS ITEM.

I BOUGHT THIS JEEP 10-4-19. SINCE I'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE IT HAS STALLED MULTIPLE TIME WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPEN WAS WITH MY 18 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. I FIRST THOUGHT SHE JUST DID SOMETHING WRONG AND DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF THE ISSUE. UNTIL I WAS TAKING MY SON TO A BASEBALL CAMP IN UT KNOXVILLE. IT DIED ON US TWICE WHILE GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IT TOOK US ABOUT 5-10 MINUTES AND IT FINALLY WOULD START BACK UP AND RUN NORMAL. ON THE TRIP HOME IT RAN FINE UNTIL WE CROSSED OVER THE GEORGIA STATE LINE AND IT DIED ONE MORE TIME. I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY. I READ SOMEWHERE THAT IT WAS A GROUNDING ISSUE SO I PULLED THE GROUND WIRES OFF TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE TOUCHING METAL. THIS HASN'T HELPED AND THE VEHICLE WILL STILL STALL WHILE DRIVING OR AT STOP LIGHTS. I BOUGHT THIS FOR MY KIDS TO DRIVE BUT LIKE EVERYONE ELSE I'VE READ ABOUT. I'M AFRAID TO LET MY KIDS OR WIFE DRIVE THIS CAR. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED CONSIDERING THIS SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE. I'VE STARTED DOCUMENTING THE TIMES IT STALLS TO SEE IF THERE IS A PATTERN. 11/7/19 8 PM IN TRAFFIC, 11/12/19 8 AM IN TRAFFIC, 11/20/19 LOWS PARKING LOT, 12/2/19 10:17 PM AT RED LIGHT - THEN AGAIN 10:29 AT ANOTHER RED LIGHT DOWN THE ROAD. ALSO THE SPEEDS WERE FROM 35 MPH TO 75 MPH DOESN'T MATTER.

MID WINTER OF 2018 I DROVE MY JEEP HOME AND PARKED IT ON A FLAT LANDING AND WHEN I WENT OUT TO START IT 2 DAYS AFTER PARKING IT NOTHING HAPPENED. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED BECAUSE THE PROBLEM WAS WITH MY STARTER. NOW IT IS OCTOBER 2019 AND I WAS WAITING AT A RED LIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY CITY INTERSECTION AND THE JEEP JUST SHUTS OFF. AFTER I COULDN'T GET IT STARTED UP AGAIN WE FOUND THAT IT WAS ONCE AGAIN THE STARTER. THIS HAPPENED 2 WEEKS AGO AND SINCE THEN I HAD THE STARTER REBUILT AND PUT BACK IN. THIS MORNING IT DID THE EXACT SAME THING AT THE EXACT SAME RED LIGHT. ON TOP OF THIS IT HAS BEEN OVERHEATING AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE DRIVING, IT DOES LEAK ANTIFREEZE BUT IT HAS OVERHEATED EVEN WHEN THE ANTIFREEZE WAS FULL. ALSO, OVER THE SUMMER I PARKED AT S PIZZA SHOP IN MY HOMETOWN AND LEFT IT RUNNING WHILE I PICKED UP MY ORDER. WHEN I RETURNED TO THE JEEP IT WAS STUCK IN PARK AND NEEDED THE SHIFTER REPLACED. THE COMPONENTS THAT ATTACHED THE SHIFTER TO THE ACTUAL GEARS WERE DESTROYED. I'VE HAD THIS JEEP FOR 1.5 YEARS AND IT HAS LEFT ME SIT NOW ON 4 SEPARATE OCCASIONS.

WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT IN THE FAST LANE ON THE HIGHWAY AT AROUND 65 MPH, MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF WITH NO WARNING AND I NOTICED THAT ALL DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS A FAST-LANE SHOULDER THAT I WAS ABLE TO STEER IT ON, OR I MIGHT HAVE BEEN KILLED BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. VEHICLE WOULD NOT RE-START SO I DISCONNECTED THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE, WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND RE-CONNECTED IT AND THEN THE VEHICLE RE-STARTED BUT RAN VERY ROUGH. I PROCEEDED ALONG THE SHOULDER TO TRY AND GET OFF THE HIGHWAY, BUT THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN AGAIN. I REPEATED THE SAME PROCESS AND IT AGAIN RE-STARTED AND I MANAGED TO DRIVE HOME ON BACK ROADS AT 40 MPH. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON AT LEAST THREE OTHER OCCASIONS, BUT THE INCIDENTS OCCURRED MANY MONTHS APART, WHICH MADE ME THINK IT WAS A ONE-OFF SITUATION. I HAVE SINCE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET AND HAVE LEARNED THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO THEM. I THINK THIS IS A TRAGEDY IN THE MAKING IF CHRYSLER DOES NOT ADDRESS THIS DEFICIENCY BY ISSUING AN IMMEDIATE RECALL. I ALSO REQUEST THAT A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP INSPECT MY VEHICLE AT NO COST TO ME. YOUR PROMPT RESPONSE TO THIS URGENT MATTER WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

THE CAR STALLS WITHOUT WARNING WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING.I HAVE HAD IT CHECKED AT THE DEALERSHIP AND OTHER SHOPS SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY CANNOT FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU ARE ON THE STREET OR ON THE HIGHWAY (WHICH IS SCARY) AND IT IS TOTALLY RANDOM. ACCORDING TO THE WEBSITE I HAVE HAD ALL THE RECALLS DONE.

WHEN TRYING TO CRANK THE CAR THE IGNITION IS VERY SLOW AND THE LIGHTS DIM. IT IS TRYING TO TURNOVER BUT CANNOT. AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS IT STARTS SMELLING LIKE SOMETHING ELECTRICAL IS GOING ON. WE ATTEMPTED TO JUMP IT OFF BUT IT PERFORMS THE SAME EVEN WHEN ATTACHED TO JUMPER CABLES. SO IT IS NOT THE BATTERY WHICH WAS CHANGED 2 YEARS AGO AND THE STARTER WAS REPLACED 2 YEARS AGO AS WELL. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR A WHILE PERIODICALLY BUT IT ALWAYS EVENTUALLY STARTED AND NEVER SMELLED LIKE SOMETHING ELECTRICAL WAS BURNING. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A PARKING SPOT IN LEXINGTON FOR ONLY A FEW MINUTES TO RUN INTO THE RETRIEVE SOME DOCUMENTS AND WHEN RETURNING IT JUST WOULD NOT START. ONCE I GOT HOME I STARTED LOOKING UP COMMON ISSUES WITH ELECTRICAL AND NOTICED THAT THERE HAD BEEN SEVERAL RECALLS THAT MIGHT APPLY TO MY ISSUE. I PLAN TO CALL OUR LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER AS SOON AS THEY OPEN AND SEE IF THEY CAN CONFIRM AND PICK IT UP FOR REPAIRS THAT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY.

THE COMMANDER HAS AN ELECTRICAL DEFECT THAT PREVENTS THE CAR FROM STARTING. WE HAVE TRACED IT BACK TO THE ALTERNATOR WIRE. IT'S THE DESIGN OF THE WIRING THAT'S CAUSING A DEFECT. WHEN I RESEARCH IT THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT MOST COMMANDER OWNER'S DEAL WITH. THERE'S NO WAY TO FIX THE PROBLEM. JEEP FIAT CHRYSLER HAVE NEVER ADDRESSED THIS PROBLEM. WE'VE REPLACED THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR TWICE NOW IN THE LAST 2 YEARS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE FAILURE ALSO OCCURRED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT A RED LIGHT. GATOR CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (840 S HARBOR CITY BLVD, MELBOURNE, FL 32901, (877) 707-5664) WAS ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE, BUT COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.
Complaints 1-50 of 696, newest first, reproduced as filed.
Going by the federal record, it is one of the Commander years to avoid: owners filed 696 complaints, 2.1 times as many as a typical Commander year. The most common complaint is about the electrical system (44%).
What is the most common problem with the 2007 Jeep Commander?
The electrical system: 304 of the 696 complaints (44%) are about it. Owners most often say it stalls (32%), sets off warning lights on the dash (10%) and loses power (9%). The typical report comes at 88,242 miles.
How many recalls does the 2007 Jeep Commander have?
6 safety recalls on file with NHTSA, the most recent filed Jul 21, 2014. The largest, 14V438000, covered 649,353 vehicles. Recall repairs are free at a dealer; whether a specific car still has one open depends on its VIN.
At what mileage do 2007 Jeep Commander problems start?
Half of the complaints that record an odometer reading came in before 73,800 miles. For the electrical system the midpoint is 88,242 miles.
Has NHTSA investigated the 2007 Jeep Commander?
Yes, 4 times. The latest, PE14017 ("Air Bag Non-deployment"), was opened Jun 16, 2014 and closed Dec 23, 2014.
Are there service bulletins for the 2007 Jeep Commander?
The manufacturer filed 64 technical service bulletins and other notices for it with NHTSA, most of them about the transmission (13), the electrical system (13) and the engine (13). A bulletin is a repair instruction to dealers, not a recall: the fix is usually free only under warranty.
Reading this record
Complaint volume is well above typical for a single model year.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
Most recent recall on file: Jul 21, 2014. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
