2007 Jeep Commander complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL FUNCTION AFTER BEING RESTARTED. THE FAILURE HAD OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

I CALLED THE DEALER (WALNUT CREEK CHRYSLER JEEP) IN 2007 THAT MY ENGINE MADE A STALLING NOISE WHEN I STARTED THE ENGINE, AND THEY SAID NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT (I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN MAY 2007, SO ONLY A FEW MONTHS LATER). I MOVED THE CAR TO CT, AND TO TX (WARRANTY COMPANIES CONTINUE TO TRACK MY ADDRESS, NO WORD OF RECALLS, THEY ALMOST STALK ME, I HAVE THE MAILINGS TO PROVE IT, WHICH I WOULD LIKE TO OPT-OUT FROM; ONLY USE AN E-MAIL FOR RECALLS). FOR MONTHS, AND YEARS, I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING THAT MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN ACCELERATING USUALLY WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, IT STALLS WHILE DRIVING, THE FRONT PANEL LIGHTS FLICKER EVEN SHUT OFF (SEEMS RUNNING ON AUTO PILOT), THE ENGINE SELF-SHUTS OFF FOR NO REASON. I EVEN ASKED DEALERS IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS, THEY SAID NO. I HEARD THAT MANY PEOPLE HAD THEIR FRONT PANEL VEHICLE LIGHTS FLICKER ERRATICALLY, ALSO THE SELF-ACCELERATING AND SELF-STALLING PROBLEMS WITH THEIR VEHICLES. THE THOUGHT THAT MY CAR HAD BEEN HACKED CROSSED MY MIND (MANY STUDIES SHOW THAT THIS CAN HAPPEN); I CONTACTED MY INSURANCE COMPANY, AND ALSO THE STATE POLICE AGENCY REGARDING A DRIVERS LICENSE AND AGENCY DOCUMENTATION FINE PRINT ABOUT RESEARCH. NO ACCIDENTS, BUT THE ABOVE PROBLEMS CONTINUE TO AFFECT MY VEHICLE (THE PANEL LIGHTS "SOME WHAT" SLOWED DOWN, BUT THE SELF-ACCELERATION, SELF-STALLING CONTINUE, AND SELF-SHUT DOWN CONTINUE. I HAVE DRIVEN MY VEHICLE FOR APPROXIMATELY 35,000 MILES, AND PURCHASED IT NEW IN MAY 2007. IS THIS A SAFETY ISSUE? NOTE: DO N

THE VEHICLE ENGINE SHUT DOWN SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. I WAS ABLE TO TURN ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS AND COAST THROUGH TRAFFIC TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. UPON INVESTIGATION I NOTICED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH HAD TURNED OFF WHICH LED TO A HAZARDOUS SITUATION. *TR

TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP. CAR STARTS NO PROBLEM. SOME SMOKE FROM UNDER VEHICLE

EARLY 2010 I EXPERIENCED ISSUES WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT, "SERVICE PARK ASSIST' AND ALL MY GEARS LIGHTING UP AT ONCE, AND NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE IN THE MIDDLE OF 65MPH TRAFFIC!. AFTER RESEARCHING THE 'SYMPTOMS' AND TALKING TO SEVERAL MECHANICS IT WAS DISCOVERED THE ESM 'WAS BAD' AND WAS REPLACED. IT BEGAN AT APPROX 55,000 MILES. I WENT THRU QUITE A PROCESS WITH CHRYSLER OVER THIS ISSUE. LONG STORY SHORT, NOW...AMAZINGLY AFTER ANOTHER 60,000 MILES (COINCIDENCE???) I NEED TO HAVE IT REPLACED AGAIN AS ALL THE SAME THINGS ARE HAPPENING? JEEPS USUALLY LAST A LONG TIME, AND THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE WITH MAINTAINING MY VEHICLE OR HOW I DRIVE...SO I WILL HAVE TO POTENTIALLY REPLACE IT AGAIN AND AGAIN? OF COURSE CHRYSLER TELLS ME ITS NOT A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLES YET JUST ON THIS SITE AND LOOKING FOR THE EXACT COMPLAINTS I FIND NO LESS THAN 45 OF THE SAME COMPLAINT AND AT LEAST ANOTHER 100+ THAT ARE PROBABLY THE SAME JUST WORDED DIFFERENTLY. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS DOES IT TAKE TO HAVE A COMPANY PAY FOR AND REPLACE DEFECTIVE PARTS? DOES IT TAKE A CERTAIN NUMBER OF FATALITIES?? I HONESTLY DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW IT JUST GETS IGNORED FORT YEARS AND YEARS. ON TOP OF THAT, THE WORK HAS TO BE DONE AT A DEALER DUE TO CERTAIN TOOLS NEEDED, AND ITS NO LESS THAN $1000 TO REPLACE. HOW CONVENIENT FOR THE COMPANY. *TR

MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER VEHICLE HAD PROBLEMS WITH IDLING AND STALLING, CAR WOULD CUTOFF WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 35-60 MILES AND AS WELL DURING IDLING. THIS HAD BEEN AN ON GOING PROBLEM SINCE 2010 THOUGH 2012 AND THEN SOME TIME BEFORE. I OFFICIALLY FOR THE RECORD FILE THIS COMPLAINT UNDERSTANDING THAT MANY JEEP OWNERS HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM MANY TIMES OVER ALTHOUGH THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION NEVER DID A RECALL REGARDING THIS PROBLEM PERTAINING TO 2006-2008 JEEP VEHICLES WHICH WAS AND IS SUCH A DISSERVICE TO THE CONSUMERS. *TR

N 23 SAFETY RECALL WAS DONE AND AFTER THAT THE 4 WHEEL LO WOULD NOT WORK AND DASHBOARD CODE FOR SERVICE WAS DISPLAYED. DEALER STATES A NATIONAL BACKLOG ON THE 4 LO ACTUATOR IS THE PROBLEM AND NO TIMELINE FOR THE PART IS AVAILABLE. READING MULTIPLE THREADS ON THE INTERNET THIS IS A BIGGER PROBLEM THAN JEEP IS OWNING UP TO AND THE REPAIR PART IS ONLY AT BEST A TEMPORARY FIX. THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AT A HIGHER LEVEL,I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER JEEP PRODUCT. *TR

CAR SUDDENLY WENT INTO LIMP HOME MODE AND WOULDN'T GO OVER 30 MPH. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. DEALER REPLACED TRANSMISSION SHIFT MODULE. WARRANTY WOULDN'T COVER IT BECAUSE IT WAS EXTERNAL TO THE TRANSMISSION. 6 WEEKS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN, DEALER SAID IT WAS A BAD GROUND. 1 YEAR AND 5 DAYS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND TOOK IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALER AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS A FIRMWARE UPGRADE WHICH THEY PERFORMED. 1 WEEK LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN.

IT HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES SINCE AND DYING COMPLETELY AROUND 6-7 TIMES. DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU'RE GOING 25 OR 75. IT CAN HAPPEN WHENEVER. ONE OF THE TIMES MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AND IT COMPLETELY STOPPED. SHE WAS IN THE LEFT LANE WITH A DIESEL IN THE RIGHT LANE. SHE ENDED UP STUCK IN THE DITCH. THANKFULLY NO ACCIDENT OR INJURIES. HAVE HAD 3 MECHANICS LOOK AT IT AND STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. *TR

I PURCHASEDMY 2007JEEPCOMMANDER ON AUGUST05,2013 WITH 117,578 MILES ON IT. WITHIN A WEEK, I WAS DRIVING APPROX. 30 MPHWHENINOTICEDTHEVEHICLEFEELINGLIKE IT HAD A HARD TIME ACCELERATING,WHENITSLOWED DOWN COMPLETELY BUT DID NOT SHUT OFF. PANICKING, I KEPT PRESSINGTHEACCELERATORANDMOVEDTHESHIFTER OUT OF GEAR WHEN THE VEHICLE JERKED AND RESUMED BACK UP TO SPEED.

FINALLY I LOOKED ONLINEFOR RECALLS, THERE IS A POWER-TRAIN AND ELECTRICAL RECALL FOR THE TIME MY JEEP WAS MANUFACTURED, EXPLAINING ALL THE SAME TROUBLES I'VE BEEN HAVING, HOWEVER WHEN I CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE, I WAS ADVISED I HAD A SIDE AIRBAG RECALL BUT NOTHING ON POWER-TRAIN.WHEN I TOLD THE REPRESENTATIVE THAT THE WARRANTY WAS FOR MY VEHICLE IN THE TIME IT WAS MANUFACTURED SHE TOLD ME IT WASN'T IN THE SYSTEM AND THAT IF I WANTED IT FIXED I WOULD HAVE TO GO TO THE DEALERSHIP PAY FOR IT AND KEE

2007 JEEP COMMANDER ENGINE STALL IN STOP AND IN FREEWAY AT 65MPH OUT OF THE BLUE COULD BARELY DRIVE IT ALMOST CAUSED US TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT, HAD TO PULL OVER MULTIPLE TIMES. *TR

WHILE DRIVING CAR WILL FOR NO REASON LOOSE POWER, YOU CAN PRESS GAS BUT CAR WILL NOT GO FASTER THAN ABOUT 15-20 MPH, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN CAR JERKS AND REGAINS POWER... A FEW MONTHS WILL GO BY AND CAR WILL DO AGAIN. WHEN THIS FIRST HAPPENED ME AND MY FAMILY WERE ON I*4 AND CAR LOST POWER ON A ROAD THAT IS 65 MPH. *TR

AT 50 MPH THE ENGINE STALLED I PULLED TO THE SIDE AND RESTARTED IT THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING EVER SINCE THAT FIRST TIME ONLY AT PRESENT IT HAPPENS MORE REGULARLY AT LEAST ONCE DAILY SOMETIMES TWICE I HAVE REPLACED MANY PARTS,PLUGS, COILS, OIL SENDING UNIT, CPS, IGNITION SWITCH BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST, PS I AM A RETIRED AUTO MECHANIC SO I DO NOT TRUST OR BELIEVE IN AUTO DEALERSHIPS. *TR

JEEP RECENTLY HAD THE GRAND CHEROKEE / COMMANDER RECALL FOR THE FINAL DRIVE CONTROL MODULE CRACKING ( N23/NHTSA 13V-175 ) AFTER I HAD THIS RECALL PERFORMED ON MY COMMANDER, THE 4WD SYSTEM HAS FAILED MULTIPLE TIMES, FLASHING "SERVICE 4WD SYSTEM" ON THE DASH. NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM PRIOR TO THE RECALL. MY JEEP HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES SINCE AND CODES CLEARED OR REFLASHED, AND WITHIN A FEW WEEKS, THE PROBLEM OCCURS AGAIN. SOMETHING ISN'T RIGHT WITH THE SOFTWARE IN THIS FIX. I DON'T FEEL AS IF THE FLAW HAS BEEN COMPLETELY FIXED. I HAVE ANOTHER DEALER APPOINTMENT MONDAY MORNING. UPON GOOGLING THIS RECALL, I'VE FOUND MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

THE PARK ASSIST LIGHT COMES ON CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL WHILE DRIVING. LOST COMMUNICATION WITH LEFT FRONT DOOR MODULE ELECTRICAL . *TR

I PULLED IN MY DRIVEWAY, PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND AS I WAS TURNING OFF THE KEY MY CAR MADE HORRIBLE NOISE, AND WHEN I TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE I HAD NO POWER. I WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND TRIED THE KEY AGAIN, AND THE DASH FLICKED OFF AND ON, OFF AND ON AND IT SAID TRANSMISSION OVER TEMPERATURE, CHECK GAUGES, ETC. THIS MORNING I TRIED AGAIN, AND IT SAID SOME CODE AND THEN WENT COMPLETELY DARK TODAY. ABOUT A MONTH AGO I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH AND MY CAR JUST LURCHED SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED ITSELF ON A FREEWAY. I TALKED TO THE TECH - THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT IT COULD BE. READING THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS. STILL NOT SURE WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY CAR THIS TIME, I GET IT SERVICED REGULARLY AND OBVIOUSLY NEED TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A DEALER TO GET CHECKED OUT. *TR

THIS CAR LOOSES POWER WITHOUT WARNING... GOES INTO NEUTRAL WITHOUT WARNING... SLOWS DOWN WITHOUT WARNING... I HAVE COMPLAINTS DATED BACK TO 2011... FINALLY A RECALL... BUT THE CHRYSLER JEEP REP SAID BC OF THE TYPE OF TRAC SYSTEM I HAVE IT WON'T APPLY TO ME... I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE BUT HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE UNLESS I WALK!

THE ENGINE STALLS DURING OPERATION (2007 JEEP COMMANDER). *TR

SLOWING DOWN FOR STOPPING OR MAKING A TURN THE ENGINE STOPS; THE CAR DIES. IT HAS BEEN RESTARTING SO FAR. I AM AFRAID I AM GOING TO BE KILLED AND/OR CAUSE OTHERS TO BE KILLED. I HAVE HAD THE CAR CHECKED OUT AND THEY SAY EVERYTHING CHECKS OUT AS OK. THIS COST ME OVER $300. THEY CHANGED THE SPARK PLUGS BUT WARNED ME THIS WAS NOT ADDRESSING THE PROBLEM I WAS HAVING. SURE ENOUGH IT IS STILL DYING ON ME. PLEASE HELP ME. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE IN A DRUNK DRIVER WHO KNOWS BEFORE HE TAKES THAT DRINK THAT HE MAY KILL SOMEONE AND AN AUTO DEALER WHO IGNORE A PROBLEM AND KILLS SOMEONE? I NEED TO KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS SO I CAN GET THIS REPAIRED. *TR

VEHICLE KEEPS LOOSING POWER SHIFTS INTO N STATE, PDRN ARE HIGHLIGHTED WITH BOXES AND YOU HAVE TO WIGGLE SHIFTER TO REGAIN POWER. MESSAGE IS: "SERVICE PARK ASSIST". NOT SURE IF THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE THAT THE LATEST RECALL (13V175000) LISTED IS HOWEVER, MY JEEP DOESN'T SEEM TO FALL IN THE MANUFACTURED DATE RANGE SO I AM MAKING A FORMAL COMPLAINT SINCE THIS IS KIND OF LOW MILES TO HAVE THIS KIND OF AN ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND IT IS HAPPENING WITH MY MANUFACTURED DATE VEHICLE. *JB

MY 2007 COMMANDER RUNS PERFECT WHEN COLD BUT AFTER 1 1/2 HOURS OF BEING ON THE ROAD IT BEGINS TO RUN HORRIBLY. IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC THE ENGINE BUCKS, SOMETIMES DIES OFF AND HAS A COMPLETE LACK OF POWER. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHES, SOMETIMES I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND REV THE ENGINE AND THEN IT IS FINE FOR A WHILE AND THE MIL LIGHT GOES OFF. SOMETIMES ON TURNS THE ENGINE SPUTTERS IN THE INTERSECTION WHICH HAS LED TO SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS OF BEING HIT BY THE ONCOMING VEHICLE. SOMETIMES ON THE FREEWAY, CLIMBING A SLIGHT INCLINE THE ENGINE SPUTTERS AND I LOSE SPEED AND CRAWL TO THE RIGHT LANE, AGAIN SOMETIME I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND REV THE ENGINE, SLAM IT IN DRIVE AND SOMETIME THAT WORKS. MY MECHANIC HAS HAD THE PCM TESTED, CHANGED SPARK PLUGS, COILS, OXYGEN SENSORS, ADDED EXTRA GROUND WIRES, CLEARED THE WIRING FOR SHORTS, CLEANED ALL ENGINE CONNECTORS INCLUDING INJECTORS PLUGS AND ROAD TEST THE VEHICLE WITH THE SCANNER CONNECTED. STATED THAT OTHER THAN PICKING UP DTC P300B THE DATA STREAM ON THE SCANNER SHOWED NO ABNORMALITIES. THERE HAS BEEN NO CHANGE IN THE PERFORMANCE OF MY COMMANDER. I WILL BE CALLING THE DEALER TO SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE UNDER MY 8YEAR/80,000 MILE DRIVE TRAIN WARRANTY. *TR

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS MY CAR HAS STALLED AND ALL GEAR BOXES WILL LIGHT UP WITH A MESSAGE SAYING "SERVICE PARK ASSIST" SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL BEEP AND OTHER TIMES IT WON'T. USUALLY THIS HAPPENS WHEN I AM IN MOTION DRIVING BUT AT TIMES WILL ALSO HAPPEN WHEN FIRST PUTTING IT INTO GEAR. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL ALSO COME ON. I HAVE TRIED TAKING IT IN SEVERAL TIMES BUT THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE IT WILL STOP DOING IT BEFORE I GET TO THE SHOP. SOMETIMES IF I AM STOPPED AT A LIGHT THE CAR WILL SWITCH BACK AND FOURTH FROM STALLING AND THEN BACK INTO GEAR WITHOUT TOUCHING ANYTHING USUALLY TO MAKE THE CAR RETURN TO GEAR YOU HAVE TO PULL OVER AND TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON IT CAN TAKE A COUPLE TIMES OF DOING THIS TO MAKE IT CORRECT. SOMETIMES WHEN IT SWITCHES OUT OF GEAR AND STALLS THERE WILL BE A LOUD SOUND THE CAR WILL JERK IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING UNDER THE CAR IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. THIS HAS BEEN AN ON GOING PROBLEM SINCE I BOUGHT THIS CAR THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURIES OR DEATH I HAVE BEEN LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO QUICKLY PULL OVER EVERY TIME IT HAS HAPPENED. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND HAVE A RECALL THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM ALL OVER THE WEB. *TR

THE ENGINE HAS STALLED ON MANY OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AND OTHER ROADS. THIS HAS OCCURRED PROBABLY 20-30 TIMES OVER THE PASSED COUPLE OF YEARS. OCCASIONALLY IT WILL STALL FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN KICK BACK IN, BUT MORE OFTEN I WILL HAVE TO LET THE VEHICLE SLOW DOWN AND COAST TO A STOP IN THE BREAKDOWN LANE IF THERE IS ONE. I THEN PUT ON THE FLASHERS, PUT IT IN PARK, TURN OFF THE KEY, WAIT A FEW SECONDS AND START THE VEHICLE. THIS MAY NOT HAPPEN AGAIN FOR SEVERAL MONTHS OR IT MAY HAPPEN THE NEXT DAY. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND SCARES MY WIFE AND MYSELF HALF TO DEATH. THIS PAST WEEKEND WHILE IN THE PASSING LANE THIS OCCURRED ON THE INTERSTATE WITH LOTS OF TRAFFIC AND WE WERE LUCKY THAT IT DID NOT RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. RESEARCHING ONLINE I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS NOT UNCOMMON WITH THE JEEP COMMANDER. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM. (POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE SOFTWARE) NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID # 08V203000, NHTSA ACTION # EA07007. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND WAS BASICALLY TOLD THAT OUR VIN# IS NOT IN THE RECALL AND THEY WILL NOT HELP. THIS IS MY WIFE'S CAR BUT I USUALLY DO THE DRIVING. *TR

WE HAD A MECHANIC DO A SPOT CHECK FOR BLOWN FUSES AND BATTERY/ALTERNATOR ISSUES, BUT NO ISSUE WAS FOUND. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED THE NEXT MORNING. *TR

YESTERDAY I WENT TO START MY JEEP AND WHEN I TURNED THE KEY NOTHING HAPPENED. A FEW SECONDS LATER IT STARTED WITHOUT ME DOING ANYTHING. I ONLY HAD TO DRIVE A FEW BLOCKS AND THEN SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. AFTER 15 MIN I CAME BACK OUT TO START MY JEEP AND NOTHING... I JUST HAD A NEW BATTERY AND STARTER INSTALLED ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 20 MIN AND TRYING TO START IT SEVERAL TIMES, IT TURNED ON. THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS W THE LIGHTS OR AC.. I TOOK IT TO AN AUTO PARTS STORE AND THEY HOOKED IT UP TO THE MACHINE, BATTERY, STARTER, AND ALTERNATOR WERE ALL READING GOOD. IT STARTED FINE FOR THE REST OF THE DAY, HOWEVER WHEN I WENT TO LEAVE WORK THAT NIGHT, IT TOOK A FEW TRIES AND ABOUT 5 MIN. I ALSO HAD OVER HALF A TANK OF GAS SO THAT'S NOT AN ISSUE. I STARTED RESEARCHING AND FOUND MANY SIMILAR CASES. I AM SUPPOSED TO TAKE MY JEEP ON A 13 HOUR TRIP NEXT MONTH AND NOW I AM VERY NERVOUS THAT I WILL END UP STRANDED WHILE ON VACATION. THE FACT THAT I FOUND SO MANY OTHER JEEP OWNERS EXPERIENCING ALMOST IDENTICAL PROBLEMS HAS LEFT ME VERY UPSET AND NERVOUS EVERY TIME I NEED TO GO SOMEWHERE. I ALSO HAVE 2 YOUNG CHILDREN AND IT WORRIES ME TO END UP STRANDED SOMEWHERE WITH THEM. I HOPE JEEP DOES SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. I HAVE HAD MINE FOR 3 YEARS AND HAVE LOVED IT THUS FAR. I'M NOT IN A POSITION TO GET A NEW VEHICLE AT THE MOMENT SO I HOPE THIS PROBLEM IS FIXED ASAP. *TR

THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS BEEN ON AND OFF FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS. WE HAVE CHANGED-OUT O2 SENSORS AND OTHER FIXES BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. THE ISSUE WAS DISCOVERED BY THE LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP: FOUR OF THE BOLTS ATTACHING THE MANIFOLD ONTO THE HEMI 5.7L ENGINE OF OUR COMMANDER WERE BROKEN. THE BOLTS AND EXHAUST MANIFOLD GASKET ARE BEING REPLACED - $642 COST. *TR

WHILE COASTING AT APPROX 40MPH, VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN, NO DASHBOARD LIGHTS, WHILE ROLLING I SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND AM ABLE TO RE-START VEHICLE. CURRENTLY AT DEALER. THEY CAN'T FIND PROBLEM, NO CODES. ON JEEP FORUMS THIS IS SADLY A POPULAR TOPIC. *TR

I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN ON TO A BUSY ROAD AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE - THERE WAS NO RESPONSE TO THE GAS PEDAL REGARDLESS OF HOW FAR I PUSHED IT. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO ABOVE 40MPH, NOR WAS THERE ANY INCREASE IN RPMS. I TRIED SHIFTING TO NEUTRAL AND THE ENGINE REVVED AND THE RPMS RESPONDED TO THE GAS PEDAL. WHEN I SHIFTED BACK TO DRIVE THERE WAS NO RESPONSE ONCE AGAIN. I MANAGED TO MAKE IT HOME AT 40 MPH. THE VEHICLE HAS DONE THIS PERIODICALLY AND SHOWS NO SERVICE ENGINE CODE. I ALSO HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM WHERE THE LIGHTS ON DASH SHOW [P][R][N][D] AND THE JEEP APPEARS TO GO INTO A "LIMP" MODE WITH NO RESPONSE...THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING - USUALLY SHIFTING TO NEUTRAL AND BACK TO PARK CORRECTS THE SITUATION. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN AND I TRANSPORT THEM IN THIS VEHICLE. NO CAN FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM ALTHOUGH YOU CAN READ FOR DAYS ABOUT IT ON THE INTERNET!!! VERY FRUSTRATING AND DON'T WANT TO SEE SOMEONE GET HURT OR KILLED BEFORE ACTION IS TAKEN!!!! *TR

THE COMMANDER WAS SLUGGISH ON A TRIP TO FLORIDA, WHEN I WOULD PRESS THE ACCELERATOR, IT WOULD HESITATE AND SPUTTER. THE MONTH BEFORE THIS TRIP, I JUST HAD THE TRANSMISSION SERVICED AT 60K TO KEEP THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY INTACT. SO FIGURED SOMETHING WAS DONE INCORRECTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP AND WE WOULD DEAL WITH IT WHEN WE RETURNED HOME. I WISH WE WOULD HAVE FOUND A REPAIR SHOP IN FL TO LOOK INTO IT AS THE JEEP TURNED OFF ON US GOING 74 MPH ON I-95. WE ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED BY A SEMI. WE DROVE 65 THE REST OF THE WAY HOME AND IT WAS ONE OF THE SCARIEST MOMENTS OF MY LIFE. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY READ THE CODE AND CLEARED THE CODE LIKE THEY DID PREVIOUSLY WHEN IT WOULD DO A HARD DOWNSHIFT WITH A LOVELY CLUNK WHEN COMING TO A STOP. THIS FIXED THE ISSUE UNTIL WE WERE COMING BACK FROM A FOUR HOUR TRIP AND THE LURCHING FORWARD WHEN GOING UP AN INCLINE STARTED AGAIN. IT CUT OFF, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED LIT, AS WELL AS THE PARK ASSIST. LIKE BEFORE WE COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURNED IT OFF AND RESTARTED IT. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE FUEL SENSOR AND SHELLED OUT $750 TO GET IT FIXED. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THIS SUV AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE HAPPEN TO ANY OF THE 20 CARS WE HAVE PREVIOUSLY OWNED. PLEASE LOOK INTO WHY THIS IS OCCURRING BECAUSE IF SOMEONE DIES DUE TO BEING REAR ENDED WHEN IT CUTS OFF, A LAWSUIT WILL BE IMMINENT. THANK YOU *TR

I'M DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED ALONG WITH OTHER VINS OF IT'S MAKE. IT HAS STALLING ISSUES. IT DIES GOING ANY SPEED AT ANY TIME. I'VE OWNED IT FOR JUST OVER A YEAR AND HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM SINCE MONTH ONE. THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN PARTS INCLUDING, ALL SENSORS, COMPUTER, CONTROL MODULE AND WIRE HARNESS HAS BEEN REPLACED AND IT IS STILL GOING ON. WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL CRYSLER REPS FROM DETROIT DOWN TO THE DEALERSHIP ITS AT TO LOOK TO HELP FIND THE PROBLEM BUT THEY'VE SCRATCHED THEIR HEADS AND SUGGEST WE JUST TRADE IT IN. WE ARE THE 4TH OWNERS OF THIS AND CARFAX WOULD SUGGEST THAT'S WHAT THE PREVIOUS OWNERS WERE TOLD TO DO JUST TRADE IT IN AND LET SOMEONE ELSE GET THE DEATH TRAP. I PAY $600 A MONTH FOR A VEHICLE I CANT DRIVE BECAUSE ITS NOT SAFE TO TRADE IN AND LETTING IT GO IS NOT AN OPTION. CRYSLER IS DOING NOTHING TO HELP WITH THIS ISSUE AND ACT LIKE THEY HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM THO JEEP FORUMS WOULD SUGGEST OTHER WISE. THIS WAS A KNOW ISSUE IN 06-08 COMMANDERS AND LIBERTYS AS WELL. WARRANTY WONT DO ANYTHING TIL THE DEALERSHIP CAN PIN POINT WHAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THIS IS WHY ALLEN SAMUELS HAS PAID FOR ALL THE PARTS THEMSELVES. THEY SAY THEIR OUT OF OPTIONS THERES NOTHING ELSE THEY CAN DO BUT I CAN'T DRIVE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE WITH CHILDREN. *TR
