2007 JEEP COMMANDER Complaints

VEHICLE STALLED WHILE REVERSING INTO PARKING SPACE VEHICLE STALLS COMING TO STOPS.......MUST BE RESTARTED TO CONTINUE ON. VEHICLE REVS REALLY LOW AT IDLE, IDLES BOUNCE 200-400 RPM (BETWEEN 600-1300 RPM), THEN STALLS. *TR

SHORTLY AFTER THE PURCHASE IN DECEMBER OF 2012, WE EXPERIENCED AN ISSUE WHERE THE ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING OR SEEMED TO STALL OUT. AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF INVESTIGATION WE REALIZED THAT OUR KNEES WERE IN PERFECT RANGE TO HIT THE KEY FOB/CHAIN AND FIGURED OUT THAT THE IGNITION HAD BEEN TURNED TO THE ACCESSORY POSITION. THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY STARTED AFTER WE FIGURED THIS OUT. THIS HAS HAPPENED A COMBINED 6 TIMES BETWEEN BOTH DRIVERS OF THE VEHICLE, ONE WHO IS 5'1" AND THE OTHER WHO IS 5'8" TALL. UNFORTUNATELY EXACT DATES FOR ALL OCCURRENCES ARE UNAVAILABLE OR WOULD BE ROUGH ESTIMATES, BUT HAS OCCURRED AS RECENTLY AS APRIL 10 2014. WE DIDN'T REALIZE THAT WE COULD FILE A COMPLAINT REGARDING THIS ISSUE UNTIL JUST RECENTLY WHEN SEARCHING FOR RECALLS FOR THIS VEHICLE, OTHERWISE WE WOULD HAVE DONE SO IN THE PAST. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD RESTART IMMEDIATELY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME MY VEHICLE HAS DONE THIS. THE VEHICLE IS WORKING PROPERLY AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WILL NOT START AND I GET MULTIPLE GAUGE NOTIFICATIONS POPULATE INCLUDING CHECK GAUGES, TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP. THIS TIME IT WILL NOT START AT ALL, I HAVE TRIED TO START IT EVERY DAY MULTIPLE TIMES AND IT WILL NOT START. THE SAME MESSAGES ARE STILL POPULATING, THE BATTERY IS GOOD, I HAVE A BRAND NEW STARTER, THERE IS FUEL. THE VEHICLE POWERS UP, I CAN OPERATE EVERYTHING BUT THE VEHICLE WON'T EVEN TRY TO TURNOVER. *TR

MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES OF THE IGNITION BEING TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE LEARNED NOT TO HANG ANYTHING FROM THE KEY WHILE DRIVING BECAUSE IT IS TOO EASY FOR A KNEE TO BUMP THE KEY AND TURN OFF THE CAR. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME FOUR TIMES AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. IT SHOULD BE FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR WORSE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER LIMITED EDITION 4X4 IN CITY TRAFFIC DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC WHEN IT STALLED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO CAME ON. AFTER RESTARTING THE ENGINE, THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. THIS STALLING AND ENGINE LIGHT WARNING HAS SINCE HAPPENED AT LEAST 100 MORE TIMES OVER THE LAST 4 YEARS. DEALER AND INDEPENDENT MECHANICS ARE UNABLE TO TROUBLESHOOT THE PROBLEM. THE MOST RECENT EVENT HAPPENED ON 6/8/14. COMPLETE ENGINE STALL ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. VEHICLE WAS TOWED 65 MILES TO HOME TOWN. MECHANIC REPLACED ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY. ENGINE STARTED FINE, RAN WELL FOR 2 DAYS AND THEN ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON WITH INTERMITTENT STALLING AND ROUGH IDLING. JEEP IS AT DEALER AS WE SPEAK. DEALER STATED THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND WILL KEEP THE VEHICLE OVERNIGHT AND TRY TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM TOMORROW. *TR

VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. RADIO AND HEAD LIGHTS WILL GO ON. ALL YOU WOULD HEAR IS A CLICK. CHECKED BATTERY AND STILL WILL NOT START. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC AND NOTHING SHOWED UP. THE MECHANIC HAD IT FOR A TWO DAYS AND IT STARTED. THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH VEHICLE. THE INCIDENT HAPPENED TWICE. LOOKED ON LINE AND NOTICED OTHER PEOPLE HAD SAME PROBLEM WITH VEHICLE NOT STARTING. ALSO, HAVING WATER COME IN THROUGH THE SIDE DOOR HANDLES. I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THESE PROBLEMS. NO WONDER THEY DISCONTINUED THIS VEHICLE. *TR
