2007 JEEP COMMANDER Complaints

STARTING IN SEPTEMBER OF 2013 WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE TRAVELING AT 70MPH IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF 3, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AND THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND WE HAD TO DRIFT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WE GOT OF THE ROAD TO THE SIDE PUT THE JEEP IN PARK AND AFTER SEVERAL TRIES IT RESTARTED. WE HAVE NOTICED ON OCCASIONS AFTER THIS, WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO TURN THERE IS A CLUNK IN THE DRIVETRAIN. SOON AFTER THE CLUNK STARTS, THAT IS WHEN THE JEEP WILL SHUT OFF. IT HAS HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND AT SIGNAL LIGHTS. AFTER THE FIRST IT SHUT OFF WE TOOK IT TO A JEEP DEALER AND THEY PUT ON IN ON THE COMPUTED BUT SAID IT DIDN'T SHOW ANYTHING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 10 TIMES SINCE SEPTEMBER AND YOU TAKE YOUR LIKE IN YOUR HANDS EVERYTIME YOU GET ON THE INTERSTATE. *TR

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

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WATER WAS SEEPING INTO THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE AND LEAKING INTO THE DASHBOARD, CAUSING ELECTRICAL FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO UN-CLOGGED THE TUBES IN ORDER TO REMEDY THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 81,000.

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

2ND CAR OWN 2007 JEEP COMMANDER HAS GONE OUT OF CONTROL WHILE DRIVING, TURNING OFF WHILE DRIVING OR AT A STOP. RECALLS ON FILE WITH SAME HISTORY BUT DOES NOT INCLUDE EITHER SECOND VIN NUMBER. DEALER SERVICES STATE NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR AND HAVE NO EXPLANATION OF INCIDENTS THAT OCCURS. AND DEMANDS TO PICK UP MY CARS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE WAITING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE VEHICLE STALLED AS ALL OF THE WARNING LAMPS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT HE WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE WHICH RESUMED NORMALLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER HOWEVER, THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE 130,526.

THE CAR TURN OFF ARE STALL WHILE DRIVING. NORMALLY OCCURS WHEN FOOT IS SLIGHT ON THE PEDDLE HOWEVER ALSO ATTEMPTS TO STALL AT HIGH SPEEDS. A REVIEW OF THE INTERNET SHOWS THAT THIS LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM IS A FREQUENT EXPERIENCE AND A LONG TERM REPORTED PROBLEM. I AM HAPPY TO PROVIDE THIS INFORMATION UPON REQUEST. DOES THERE NEED TO BE A LOSE OF LIFE TO OBTAIN RELIEF OF THIS ISSUE. IS THIS ISSUE A RESULT OF DEMANDS BY THE EPA TO HAVE THESE CARS RUN AT AN IDEAL SPEED THAT IS TOO LOW? IS THE EPA ALSO THE REASON FOR THIS PROBLEM? LIVES ARE AT RISK WITH NO ACTION BEING TAKEN TO PROTECT 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. THIS TIME ON THE FREEWAY. ERROR INDICATED IMPROPER GEAR RATIO SELECTED. *TR
