2007 Jeep Commander complaints

VEHICLE APPEARED TO HESITATE AND EVENTUALLY STALLED LOOSING POWER. ALL INSTRUMENTATION LIGHTS CAME ON DURING THIS EVENT. DRIVER WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY; PLACE THE CAR IN PARK/NEUTRAL; AND RESTART THE ENGINE. THE SAME EVENT HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 4 OTHER TIMES SINCE THE FIRST AT VARYING SPEED (I.E. 35 TO 65 MPH) AND THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS MAKING THIS A VERY DANGEROUS AND UNPREDICTABLE EVENT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND HE STATED THAT IT COULD BE THE POWER CONTROL MODULE; BUT WAS UNSURE. I'M VERY CONCERNED WITH THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. THE SYMPTOM OF THIS PROBLEM (ENGINE STALL) IS UNPREDICTABLE AND IS A RECIPE FOR A SERIOUS AND LIFE THREATENING ACCIDENT. I'VE REVIEWED HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS REPORTING SIMILAR CONDITIONS. THERE NEEDS TO BE A GLOBAL RECALL ON ALL 2007 JEEP COMMANDERS REPORTING THIS PROBLEM TO HAVE THIS ISSUES REPAIRED BEFORE THERE IS A LOSS OF LIFE RESULTING FROM THIS EVENT. NHTSB PLEASE RESPOND TO THIS COMPLAINT AND COMPEL CHRYSLER TO ISSUE A RECALL BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE AND LIFE THREATENING INJURY OCCURS. *TR

MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER STALLS DURING LENGTHY TRIPS OF 100 MILES OR MORE AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 50 - 70 MPH.

AS OF JUNE 8TH 2011 I BOUGHT MY JEEP USED WITH APPROXIMATELY 42000 MILES ON IT SOON AFTER IT STARTED HAVING FILLING ISSUES THEN FOR A WHILE THE ISSUE CEASED NOW ABOUT A MONTH BEFORE DATE OF STALL LISTED ABOVE IT STARTED WITH THE SAME FILLING ISSUES EXCEPT WORSE NOW CAUSING IT TO NOT WANT TO SHIFT INTO GEARS AS NORMAL CAR WOULD, KINDA JERKING IN BETWEEN SHIFTS FROM DIFFERENT SPEEDS AND RPM INCREASE AND DECREASE. IT HAS STALLED ON ME TWICE NOW. THE FIRST TIME ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH WITH MY 3 KIDS AND PREGNANT WIFE IN THE CAR CAUSING ALL POWER FUNCTIONS TO BE LOST AND WE ALMOST GOT RAN OVER BY A TRANSFER TRUCK TRYING TO GET TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. I HAD IT LOOK AT AND THE THROTTLE BODY AND INTAKE CLEANED OF CARBON DEPOSITED AND NOW TODAY JUNE 12TH 2012 IT STALLED AGAIN GETTING OFF THE INTERSTATE HEADING TO MY WORK.

WE BOUGHT THIS 2007 JEEP COMMANDER 2 YEARS AGO AND HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE (ESM) ALONG THE WHOLE WAY. THE VEHICLE'S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON FOLLOWED BY ALL OF THE SHIFT LOCATIONS ON THE DASH LIGHTED UP. NEXT THE SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM WARNING ON THE DASH. THE NEXT THING IS THE ENGINE BOGS DOWN AND YOU CANNOT GO OVER 20 MPH. WE PULL OFF THE ROAD AND RESTART THE ENGINE AND CONTINUE ON UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN. THIS IS A MAJOR DESIGN FLAW AS IT HAS ALMOST CAUSED 2 POTENTIALLY FATAL CAR ACCIDENTS ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY WIFE AND BABY. PLEASE TAKE CARE OF THIS ASAP AS I CANNOT AFFORD THE $1400 DOLLAR REPAIR TO FIX THE ESM THAT COULD END MY WIFE AND BABY'S LIFE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE JEEP SHUT OFF, COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER, BRAKES AND STEERING THEN AFTER A FEW SECONDS TURNED BACK ON. THIS HAD HAPPENED 4 TIMES WITHIN 10 MILE. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED. I HAD TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SO THEY COULD PLUG IT INTO THEIR COMPUTER. THE RESULTS WERE NEGATIVE AND COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS. SEARCHING ONLINE, THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER JEEP OWNERS THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED. *TR

BACK IN 2009 THE ESM HAD TO BE CHANGED TWICE AND IT WAS JUST CHANGED AGAIN 3/19/2012 AND HERE IT IS 5/25/2012 AND THIS PART GOES AGAIN (ELECTRIC SHIFT MODULE/UNIT). IT GOES WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ABOUT 45/50MPH ON THE HIGHWAY THE TRUCK JUST STOPPED RUNNING WHEN THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD FLASHED AND WENT OFF(GOOD THING THAT THE ROAD WAS PRETTY CLEAR AT THAT TIME) THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THESE TRUCKS AND JEEP KNOWS ABOUT IT AND REFUSES TO CALL THESES TRUCKS OFF THE ROAD-THERE NEEDS TO BE TOTAL RECALL OF THE JEEP COMMANDEERS AND CHRYSLER/JEEP NEEDS TO BE MADE TO PURCHASE THEM FROM CONSUMERS BUT THEN AGAIN CONSUMERS DON'T HAVE ANY RIGHTS OR SAFETY NETS. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING MY COMMANDER, IT STARTED TO SPUTTER AND SHIFT GEARS ERRATICALLY AND THEN DIED. THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AS I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER I TURNED THE CAR OFF COMPLETELY, I TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR TO CONTINUE TO WORK. AS SOON AS I PUT THE VEHICLE IN GEAR, IT STALLED ONCE AGAIN. ON THE THIRD TRY, I WAS ABLE TO PLACE MY VEHICLE IN GEAR AND COMPLETE MY DRIVE TO WORK BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON. THIS SAME SCENARIO HAS HAPPENED FIVE TIMES SINCE THE ORIGINAL INCIDENT. *JS

THIS PROBLEM BEGAN IN THE FALL OF 2008. TYPICALLY, AFTER SHIFTING THE CAR INTO DRIVE, THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST IDLE SPEED, HAVE A MODERATE BUCKING, ALL GEAR SELECTOR LIGHTS ON THE DASH WERE BOXED IN, AND AN ERROR MESSAGE WOULD READ "SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM". THE PROBLEM WAS SERVICED UNDER WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP CHECKED WIRES AND CONNECTORS, AND REPLACED THE BEZEL ASSEMBLY ON SHIFTER. THIS SEEMED TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM UNTIL RECENTLY. BEGINNING A FEW MONTHS AGO, AROUND THE BEGINNING OF 2012, I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS: ALL GEAR SELECTOR LIGHTS ILLUMINATED, NO ACCELERATION FOR 10-15 SECONDS, AND SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM MESSAGE. THE PROBLEM OCCURS ALMOST ALWAYS IN THE MORNING ON THE WAY TO WORK, SCHOOL, ETC.. IT HAS NEVER LASTED LONGER THAN 15-20 SECONDS ON ANY DAY, AND SEEMS TO OCCUR APPROXIMATELY ONE TO TWO TIMES PER WEEK, OVER THE LAST 4 WEEKS. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT LATER THIS WEEK AT A DEALER TO CHECK OUT THE PROBLEM. BUT READING SEVERAL INTERNET SOURCES, THIS OBVIOUSLY NOT AN ISOLATED ISSUE, AS THERE ARE MANY ACCOUNTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM. *JS

APRIL 12 2012, ON SEVERAL OCCASSIONS THE CAR STALLED, TWO TIMES WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND TWO OTHER TIMES WHILE TURNING A CORNER AT ABOUT 15 MPH, ALL FOUR WERE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. *TR

WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE, VEHICLE LOST POWER. DASH DISPLAY MESSAGE APPEARED "SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM" AND VEHICLE GEAR DISPLAY INDICATED THE P R N D WERE ALL ILLUMINATED. THE ENGINE STAYED RUNNING BUT WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THE GAS PEDAL, DECELERATING. TURNED ON HAZARD LIGHTS AND PULLED OVER, PLACED VEHICLE IN PARK, SHIFTED TO DRIVE, AND CONTINUED AS NORMAL. A SHORT TIME LATER, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT, AND HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES SINCE THEN AND IN MANY DIFFERENT DRIVING SITUATIONS. FOR EXAMPLE, AFTER PULLING INTO TRAFFIC ON A HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, CAUSING THE TRAFFIC BEHIND TO NEARLY SLAM INTO US. IF ACCELERATION HAD BEEN AVAILABLE AS NORMAL, THIS WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN AN ISSUE. ANOTHER EXAMPLE, THE PROBLEM HAPPENED DURING HEAVY RUSH HOUR INTERSTATE TRAFFIC, CAUSING THE NEED TO CROSS SEVERAL LANES TO REACH A BREAKDOWN LANE. IT HAS HAPPENED IMMEDIATELY UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE AND AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN RUNNING NORMALLY FOR A LONG TIME. IT IS VERY UNPREDICTABLE. THE VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS AND CANNOT BE TRUSTED TO PROVIDE POWER OR ACCELERATION WHEN IT IS NEEDED. PRIVATE SHOP CHECKED THE FAULT CODES AND REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE WHICH DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. INTERNET RESEARCH SHOWS THIS EXACT PROBLEM WITH THESE EXACT SYMPTOMS IS COMMON AND WIDESPREAD IN THE 2007 JEEP COMMANDER AND APPEARS TO INDICATE A FAULTY ELECTRONIC SHIFTER MODULE. CHRYSLER RESPONSE TO THE PROBLEM IS HIT AND MISS, SOME D

AFTER COMING HOME FROM WORK AROUND 8:30 PM, I WAS AWAKENED 3 HOURS LATER TO THE LIGHTS OF A FIRE ENGINE AND THE SOUND OF MY VEHICLE'S ALARM BECAUSE OF A FIRE IN MY FRONT SEAT . THE FIRE DEPARTMENT'S REPORT STATED THAT THERE WAS INDEED A MALFUNCTION OF THE HEATED SEATS. I CONTACTED MY INSURANCE COMPANY, AND THEY DETERMINED IT A TOTAL LOSS. I CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER'S CLAIMS GROUP, AND UPON THEIR INVESTIGATION, STATED THAT IS WAS NOT THEIR FAULT OR MINE AND IT WAS NOTHING THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENLY AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHENEVER THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE DEALER WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, BUT WOULD NOT INFORM THE CONTACT HOW THEY WERE ABLE TO DO SO. THE DEALER STATED THAT EVERYTHING WAS FINE WITH THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER TURNS OFF O ME WHEN I'M AT STOP SIGNS OR SLOWING DOWN WITHOUT ANY WARNING. TODAY I WENT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND TOLD THE SERVICE ADVISOR ABOUT THE PROBLEM. HE ACTED LIKE THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME HE HAS HEARD ABOUT THE ISSUE. HE ASKED ME HOW OFTEN IT HAPPENS AND I SAID A FEW TIMES A WEEK. HE THEN SAID THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE TO BE BROUGHT IN WHILE IT'S HAPPENING. REALLY!!!! HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO TAKE IT IN WHEN IT HAPPENS OR BEFORE IT HAPPENS! THE VEHICLE DOESN'T WARN ME AND IT TURNS IN RIGHT AWAY AS IF NOTHING HAS EVER HAPPENED! IT IS SO FRUSTRATING!! I'VE HAD IT FOR LESS THAN A YEAR AND WE ARE ALREADY EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS! I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH MY BABY! I'VE READ ALL THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE!! THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED! I THINK THIS VEHICLE IS A LEMON! *TR

DRIVING AT 70 MPH ON TOLLWAY AND VEHICLE STALLED AND STEERING WHEEL COLUMN LOCKED UP. THIS HAPPENED TWO DAYS AGO AND IS OCCURRING MORE OFTEN. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL COLUMN LOCKS AS YOU ARE DRIVING. IT HAS HAPPENED FOUR MORE TIMES. I NOW DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE I FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND MY DAUGHTER. *TR

RECENTLY HAD TO HAVE SUNROOF DRAINS CLEANED FOR SECOND TIME IN THE LAST 14 MONTHS AT A COST OF $500 EACH TIME. HEBERTS TOWN AND COUNTRY IN SHREVEPORT, LA TELLS ME THAT DRAINS ARE CLOGGED AND THIS IS CAUSING WATER TO LEAK INTO THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. THEY ALSO MENTIONED THAT THEY CAN'T WARRANTY ANY OF THE WORK B/C AN ACTUAL PART HASN'T BROKEN. VERY CONVENIENT FOR THEM. WE PARKED THE VEHICLE IN A GARAGE IN THE EVENINGS AND MADE SURE WE DIDN'T PARK UNDER ANY TREES AT OTHER TIMES THAT MAY CLOG DRAINS, BUT THEY GOT CLOGGED. I'M NOT SURE HOW CLEAN YOU HAVE TO KEEP VEHICLE TO KEEP DRAINS FROM CLOGGING, BUT I EFFECTIVELY HAVE A JEEP THAT CAN'T GET WET OR DIRTY. COMPLETELY CONTRARY TO ANY ADVERTISING DONE BY JEEP CLAIMING HOW RUGGED THEIR VEHICLES ARE. *TR

VEHICLE HAS LOST ALL POWER WHILE DRIVING, ENGINE SHUTS DOWN, NO ELECTRICAL POWER AND HAD TO COAST TO A STOP. VEHICLE RESTARTS AFTER TURNING KEY TO OFF AND THEN RESTARTING. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE NOW, THE FIRST TIME ON FEB. 20TH, 2012 AND YESTERDAY MAR.10TH, 2012. *TR *JS

THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW OCTOBER 2007, ALSO THE EXTENDED WARRANTY 5YEAR 60,000 WAS PURCHASED AT THE SAME TIME. THE MAJOR PROBLEMS BEGAN WITH THE TRANSMISSION ELECTRONIC SYSTEM, THE REMOVED AND REPLACED SOMETHING INSIDE. MEANWHILE THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN SERVICED AND MAINTAINED BY GRAVA CHRYSLER JEEP SINCE NEW THE FIRST TIME WE COMPLAINED AND HAD IT SERVICED WAS JANUARY 2011 AND THE LAST REPORT WAS FEBRUARY 20,2012 AND THEY STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT TO FIX..LAST YEAR WHILE DRIVING HOME ON INTERSTATE 93 SPEED APPROX 55 THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND WE ALMOST WERE STRUCK BY ANOTHER VEHICLE, WE HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK TO RESTART.WOULD NOT RESTART IN NEUTRAL. THE TECH AND SERVICE MANAGER SAID IT SHOULD HAVE,WELL IT DIDN'T. THEY REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH, IT HAPPENED AGAIN,THEY REPLACED SOME MODULE, IT HAPPENED AGAIN, THEY CHANGED THE FUEL PUMP, IT HAPPENED AGAIN FOR THE SIXTH (6) TIME.THEY KEPT IT FOR 10 DAYS AND WERE NOT ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM, NO CODE ,NO PROBLEM THAT WAS THEIR ANSWER.BY THE WAY THEY PUT OVER 500 MILES ON THE VEHICLE THIS TIME. *TR

UPDATED 04/19/12*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. JEEP REIMBURSED THE CONSUMER $1000 OF THE $3200 HE SPENT.

VEHICLE STALLS AND DRIVER LOSES COMMAND OF ACCELERATOR, POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. HAPPENS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS BUT OBVIOUSLY MOST DANGEROUS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. WHEN VEHICLE LOSES POWER, ALL GEAR INDICATORS LIGHT UP ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE VEHICLE INFORMATION SYSTEM DISPLAY READS "SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM" AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARS. RECOMMENDED DEALER REPAIR IS THE REPLACEMENT OF THE "ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE". THIS TEMPORARILY SOLVES THE PROBLEM BUT RECURS WITHIN A FEW THOUSAND MILES. *TR

ABOUT 9 TIMES OVER THE LAST 3 YEARS, MY JEEP COMMANDER 2007 LIMITED V8 HAS STALLED WHILE MOVING CAUSING THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS INCLUDING LIGHTS, RADIO, DASHBOARD PANEL, ETC TO MOMENTARILY TURN OFF. EACH TIME, THE STALL IS ACCOMPANIED BY A LOUD "CLUNKING" NOISE. IN EACH INSTANCE I HAVE BEEN TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE 60+ MPH. I AM ABLE TO RESTART EVERYTIME BY EITHER PULLING OVER OR PUTTING THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL, RESTARTING THE ENGINE, AND THEN PUTTING IT BACK INTO DRIVE WHILE MOVING. I HAVE DISCUSSED THIS WITH THE DEALERSHIP ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO UNLESS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON WHICH HAS NEVER OCCURRED. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO BOTH OF THE PRIMARY DRIVERS OF THE VEHICLE, AND THE IGNITION SWITCH HAS NEVER BEEN ACCIDENTALLY TURNED OFF. *TR

ENGINE STALLING OR NOT STARTING. ENGINE STALLED WHILE MAKING A TURN. CAR STARTED IMMEDIATELY AFTER BUT ENGINE AND OIL LIGHTS REMAINED ON.

STUCK AT HIGHWAY REST STOP FOR 2 HOURS UNTIL CAR RE-STARTED. SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATED THAT COMPUTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, THEN SAID THAT THEY WEREN'T GETTING THAT CODE THE NEXT TIME WE HAD PROBLEMS. HAVE REPLACED VARIOUS PARTS BUT PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS.
