2007 JEEP COMMANDER Complaints

I TRIED TO START MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER AND IT WOULD ONLY CLICK. I GOT A TRANSMISSION OVER TEMPERATURE MESSAGE IN THE MESSAGE CENTER. ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS WORKED EXCEPT THE IGNITION. NO ODB CODES APPEARED. THE NEXT DAY IT STARTED AS IF NOTHING IS WRONG. THE FOLLOWING DAY IT FAILED TO START AGAIN. AT THIS TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED A TOTAL OF 5 TIMES. I HAVE GONE ON THE JEEP COMMANDER FORUM AND FOUND THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. SOME COMMANDER OWNERS HAVE BEEN STRANDED DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. SOME OWNERS HAVE SPENT LARGE AMOUNTS OF MONEY TRYING TO GET THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED, WITH NO SUCCESS. THERE SHOULD BE AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS PROBLEM. *TR

2007 JEEP COMMANDER (PURCHASED USED IN THE FALL OF 2012): AS I WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT, THE CAR ABRUPTLY SPED UP, CAUSING ME TO LOSE CONTROL. I CRASHED INTO AN UTILITY POLE DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM THE PARKING LOT EXIT AS A RESULT. THE CAR IS NOW TOTALED AND THE UTILITY POLE WAS DAMAGED (LEANING OVER). I TRAVELED APPROXIMATELY 26 FEET, AT A SPEED HIGH ENOUGH TO CREATE THAT AMOUNT OF DAMAGE. AS SOMEONE WHO HAS DRIVEN PROFESSIONALLY FOR MANY YEARS, THIS WAS UNNERVING AND UNUSUAL. ALSO, AROUND 3 MONTHS AGO THE SAME SITUATION HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I WAS FOLLOWING A CAR GOING 45 MPH, AND MY COMMANDER SUDDENLY SPED UP, CAUSING ME TO APPLY THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN. I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING OF IT AT THE TIME, BUT NOW I AM WONDERING IF THERE IS/WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. *TR

SUNROOF/WINDOWS LEAK AND CAUSE WATER TO FLOOD INTO THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR AREA. UP TO AN INCH OF STANDING WATER ACCUMULATES IN PASSENGER FLOOR AREA DURING PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER LIMITED EDITION 4X4 AT VARIOUS SPEEDS CAR STALLS WITHOUT WARNING. ALL POWER FEATURES INCLUDING STEERING WHEEL LOCK AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. FORCED TO MANEUVER TO SHOULDER IF POSSIBLE (DANGEROUS) PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND THEN RE-START. SAME PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY 50 TIMES SINCE 2010. HAVE SOUGHT INFORMATION FROM DEALER AND INDEPENDENT MECHANICS AND ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR AT MY OWN EXPENSE TO NO AVAIL. MECHANICS HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM WHILE ON ROAD TESTS, WHICH IS EXPECTED SINCE THE STALLING IS UNPREDICTABLE. THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE WAS 8/5/14 - COMPLETE ENGINE STALL WHILE DRIVING (APPROXIMATELY 40MPG), STEERING WHEEL AND ALL OTHER POWER FEATURES LOCKED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. PUT THE CAR IN PARK THEN RE-STARTED. *TR

SINCE OWNER MY JEEP COMMANDER, IT HAS BEEN IN FOR REPAIR FOR ELECTRICAL AND LEAKING PROBLEMS. IT HAS BEEN IN FOR REPAIR FOR THE HEAT/AC CONTROLS AT LEAST 3 TIMES AND NOW FOR THE 2ND TIME BECAUSE OF THE LEAKING SUNROOF, THE POWER WINDOWS DON'T WORK ANYMORE. IT HAS BEEN IN A FEW TIMES BECAUSE WHILE DRIVING THE WINDOWS GO UP AND DOWN, THE ALARM GOES OFF AND THE BELL CHIMES TELLING ME THE REAR HATCH IS OPEN ALL AT THE SAME TIME LIKE THE CAR IS POSSESSED. I'M SURE THERE IS MORE BUT CANT RECALL ALL OF THEM AT THIS TIME. IT IS BECOMING A BIG PROBLEM. I THINK JEEP COMMANDERS SHOULD BE RECALLED SINCE SO MANY ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES!!! IT IS A LIITLE SCARY NOT BEING ABLE TO OPEN THE WINDOWS. WHAT IF SOMETHING HAPPENS AND YOU NEED TO GET OUT? I WILL NOW HAVE TO SPEND ANOTHER FEW HUNDRED FOR REPAIRS. JUST NOT RIGHT.

SUNROOF LEAKS AND WINDOWS LEAK CAUSE WATER TO FLOOD INTO THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE TRUCK AND REAR OF THE TRUCK. ALSO CAUSE A SHORTAGE IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND SHUTS OFF THE RADIO. DRIVER SIDE WINDOW MODULE HAS A SHORTAGE WHEN LOWERING AND RAISING WINDOWS THE LIGHTS FLASH AND RADIO GOES IN AND OUT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS FLASHED AND THE VEHICLE WOULD SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE AND FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSFER CASE FAILED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V175000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM , POWER TRAIN). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200,000.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DINGS AND VEHICLE COMES TO A STOP, I WAS ABLE TO DRIFT OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BUT STEERING WAS LOCKED UP. ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINS I WAS ABLE TO RESTART ENGINE AND NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BAS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ARE ON. *TR

I PURCHASED IN NOVEMBER 2012 AND EVER SINCE WITH EACH RAIN STORM MY INTERIOR FLOODS AND IT IS STARTING TO AFFECT ELECTRONICS. I HAVE SERVICE 4WD SYSTEM AFTER N23 RECALL AND VEHICLE WON'T SHIFT INTO 4 LO. I HAVE SERVICE PARK ASSIST AND TPMS WARNING AND HAD ALL FOUR SENSORS REPLACED WITH WARNING RECURRING. I RECENTLY STARTED LOSING ALL FOUR DOOR SPEAKERS INTERMITTENTLY AND WHEN THEY DO WORK THEY SOUND HORRIBLE. DISPLAY ON RADIO IS STARTING TO GO BLACK AND DIM. I HAVE LIGHTS ON DASH DISPLAY FLASH ON AND OFF WHEN THEY WANT. I HAVE CRAZY RPM FLUCTUATION AT IDLE AND RECENTLY TRANSMISSION FEELS LIKE IT IS TRYING TO SHIFT AND RPM FLUCTUATIONS WHEN CRUISING AT HWY SPEEDS. I HAVE BUMPED THE KEY ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AND THE VEHICLE IS ESSENTIALLY SHUT OFF AND STILL MOVING. MOST PROBLEMS HAVE JUST RECENTLY BEGUN AND HAVEN'T TAKEN TO DEALER YET BUT AFTER READING ABOUT MANY OF THE SAME PROBLEMS AND JEEP NOT OWNING UP TO ANY OF THEM, I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO CHASE PHANTOM PROBLEMS THAT THE DEALER CAN'T RECREATE AND CHANGE PARTS AND HOPE IT FIXES THE PROBLEM. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND HAVE TO DRY THE VEHICLE OUT AFTER EVERY RAIN. I AM ABOUT TO HAVE TO WRITE IT OFF AS A LOSS AND BUY A NEW VEHICLE WHICH WILL NOT BE A JEEP. I GUESS HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO DIE FOR JEEP TO MAN UP AND ADMIT THEY MADE A TERRIBLE UNSAFE VEHICLE AND QUIT MAKING THEIR CUSTOMERS PAY FOR THEIR MISTAKE. *TR

VEHICLE CONTINUES TO STALL. AT 40MPH, ENGINE SURGES THEN DROPS IN RPM. DROPS RPM TO THE POINT OF STALLING. IDLE AIR CONTROL (IAC) VALVE, THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR (TPS), AND EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR) VALVES HAVE BEEN REPLACED SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH NO CHANGE. ONLY WAY TO DRIVE IS TO MANUALLY SHIFT TO KEEP RPMS ABOVE 2,000 WHILE DRIVING AND TO USE BOTH THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR PEDALS TO KEEP RPM ABOVE 1,200 WHEN AT STOPS. NO OBD2 SERVICE CODES ARE EVER TRIGGERED. *TR
