2007 JEEP COMMANDER Complaints

WHEN YOU TRY TO START, IT WOULD TURN OVER AND CLICK, BUT NOT START. AFTER ABOUT 10 TIMES, IT WOULD FINALLY START. MY MECHANIC CHECKED THE BATTERY ( WHICH WAS ABOUT 3 MONTHS OLD) AND IT WAS GOOD. HE CHANGED THE STARTED AND STILL HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. PUT IN ANOTHER STARTER, ASSUMING THE PART WAS BAD. STILL HAD SAME PROBLEM. JUST REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH. CAR STARTED THIS MORNING AT HIS SHOP, BUT WOULD NOT START UNTIL I ATTEMPTED TO START IT ABOUT 10 TIMES AND IT FINALLY STARTED. AN INTERMITTENT STARTING PROBLEM. *TR

THE ENGINE TURNED OVER SEVERAL TIMES BUT WOULD NOT START. HAD CAR TOWED TO MY MECHANIC. VALVE SIX OF THE HEMI ENGINE (5.7 LITER) WAS DESTROYED BEYOND REPAIR DUE TO A LOOSENED VALVE SEAT. HAD TO HAVE ENGINE REPLACED AT A COST OF ABOUT $7500.00. *TR

DRAIN TUBES LEAK INTO VEHICLE THRU UPPER HAND GRAB AND UNDER DASH DUE TO ROUTING OF TUBES... THEY CLOG VERY EASY AND VEHICLE OWNERS CANNOT SEE THEM OR HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF THEM UNTIL A HEAVY RAIN LEAVES THE CAR FLOODED. MOST LIKELY ERODING WIRES UNDER DASH AND CAUSING MOLD IN CARPET. *TR

THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE 4WD WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY AS THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO OPERATE IN 4WD. THE FAILURE OCCURRED AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 13V175000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM , POWER TRAIN).

I PURCHASED THIS USED JEEP ON JANUARY 7, 2014. ONE WEEK LATER, THE JEEP STALLED IN TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY. THEN STALLED THE NEXT DAY ON A LOCAL STREET WHILE MY TEENAGERS WERE DRIVING TO SCHOOL. THEN STALLED IN TRAFFIC THE NEXT DAY WHILE I WAS TURNING ONTO A LOCAL STREET. THEN STALLED AGAIN PULLING INTO THE DRIVEWAY. THE CAR WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR SIX WEEKS. THEY REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH, COILS, COMPUTER SYSTEM, WIRING SYSTEM, THROTTLE. I PICKED THE CAR UP AT THE END OF MARCH, 2014. THE CAR WAS WORKING FINE UNTIL THIS PAST WEEKEND. IT STALLED AGAIN IN TRAFFIC WHILE MY SON WAS DRIVING WITH FOUR PASSENGERS IN THE CAR ON APRIL 26, 2014. IT STALLED AGAIN WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE CAR ON SUNDAY APRIL 27, 2014. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER ON APRIL 28, 2014. THIS VEHICLE COULD HAVE CAUSED A FATALITY. IT IS NOT A SAFE VEHICLE FOR ANYONE TO DRIVE. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER, WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY/ SIDE STREETS VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN. MAKING IT HARD TO BRAKE AND STEER. VERY SCARY WHEN YOUR IN TRAFFIC AT 70 MILES HR. AND YOU COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. TOOK IT IN TO CHRYSLER DEALER HAS NO SOLUTION FOR THIS VEHICLE. ALL THESE PROBLEMS SURFACED AFTER DOING THE DRIVE CONTROLLER MODULE RECALL. GOT A SECOND OPINION AND DEALER GAVE ME A LIST TUNE-UP, COILS, TRAIN SERVICE, ETC. WOW THESE DEALERS WANT TO MAKE SOME CASH. HAD A THIRD OPINION AND MECHANIC SAYS ALL CODES ARE RELATED TO MODULE. NOW SHOULDN'T DEALER BE AWARE OF THIS AND CHRYSLER SHOULD BE ACCOUNTABLE. *TR

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 NOT POST OR DISTRIBUTE MY PERSONAL INFORMATION, OR UPLOAD TO A PUBLIC DATABASE. PLEASE KEEP MY PERSONAL INFORMATION PRIVATE. IN ADDITION, I DO NOT WANT TO BE PESTERED WITH MORE WARRANTY OFFERS; I HAVE NO IDEA HOW THEY OBTAINED MY PHYSICAL ADDRESS.

DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR FAILED ON DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT DOOR. DOOR NOW MAKES A DUCK CALL/ BUZZ EVERYTIME IT LOCKS. UPON RESEARCH THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH COMMANDERS AND A RECALL SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO FIX THIS ISSUE. *TR
