2007 JEEP COMMANDER Complaints

WE HAVE ONLY OWNED THIS USED JEEP FOR NOT EVEN TWO MONTHS, BOUGHT FROM US AUTO SALES OCT 18 2013, VEHICLE BEGAN JERKING AROUND ALL OVER OUT OF THE BLUE COULD BARELY DRIVE IT ALMOST CAUSED US TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT, HAD TO PULL OVER MULTIPLE TIMES, TOOK FOR SERVICE, SAID IT WAS NOT TRANSMISSION OR ENGINE, SEE ON INTERNET FIVE RECALLS, HAVE READ MANY PEOPLE HAVING ISSUES, TODAY VEHICLE FREEZES UP WHILE DRIVING TWICE, DECELERATES POWERS DOWN TO ALMOST A STALL OUT IN TRAFFIC WHILE MY FIVE KIDS ARE IN THIS VEHICLE WITH ME! VERY DANGEROUS, READ ON INTERNET MULTIPLE PLACES AND PEOPLE HAVING SAME ISSUES AND CHRYSLER NOT FIXING PROBLEMS??? WHY NOT DO THEY WANT TO BE SUED OR CAUSE AN ACCIDENT? MY VEHICLE JUST STARTED DOING THIS NOW TWO MONTHS AFTER BUYING IT USED!!!!! TWICE IN ONE DAY FREEZES UP WHILE TRYING TO DRIVE IT, POWERS DOWN WONT ACCELERATE, LIKE ITS STUCK IN ONE GEAR WONT GO LOSES POWER LIKE IT WILL SHUT OFF SUDDENLY HAVE TO PULL OVER AND TURN OFF AND RESTART TO GET IT TO STOP DOING THIS....MAKE THEM FIX IT BEFORE IT CAUSES ACCIDENTS FOR NOT JUST ME BUT EVERYONE ELSE THAT IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM SEARCH THE INTERNET YOU WILL FIND MANY ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE!!!!!! DO YOUR JOB! I EXPECT SOMETHING TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS AT ONCE! AND REMEDIED....DO I TAKE THIS TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT FIXED? OR BACK WHERE I BOUGHT IT????? I AM READING THAT CHRYSLER IS REFUSING TO ADDRESS THE ISSUES AND MULTIPLE INCIDENTS ARE FOUND ALL OVER THE INTERNET JUST SEARCH IT UP UNDER MAKE AND MODEL AND YEAR OF THE VEHICLE! AND TYPE IN LOSS OF POWER STALLING AND IT SAYS THE REMEDY IS A PCM MODULE OR SOMETHING? I REALLY NEED THIS ADDRESSED AT ONCE AND TOLD HOW TO FIX THIS AS WE JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE. *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

I PURCHASED THE 2007 JEEP COMMANDER WITH THE 5.7 HEMI IN SPRING 2013 AND A FEW MONTHS LATER COMING TO A STOP IT JUST SHUT OFF. AT FIRST I THOUGHT MAYBE SOME WATER HAD GOTTEN INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT SINCE IT WAS RAINING AND SHORTED SOMETHING. STARTED BACK UP AND THOUGHT ALL WAS FINE. WELL RECENTLY IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE OFTEN, WHETHER IT IS WET OR DRY OUT AND AT ANY SPEED OR WHETHER THE CRUISE CONTROL IS ON OR OFF. IT ALSO SEEMS TO TRY TO SHUT DOWN WHILE FEATHERING THE GAS PEDAL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FROM ACCELERATING TO COAST. ON ONE OCCASION THIS SUMMER AT HIGHWAY SPEED PULLING OUR CAMPER IT SHUT DOWN AND I HAD TO COAST TO A STOP ALONG THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY TO RESTART. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE. I HAVE CHILDREN, AS I AM SURE MANY HERE WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT DO. *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

MY JEEP STALLS AND WILL NOT START BACK DASH SAYS TRANS OVER HEAT BUT ITS NOT. CHECKED ALL THE FUSES AND RELAYS NOTHING SEEMS AFTER SOME RESEARCH THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE JEEPS THE DEALERS CAN'T FIX IT PLEASE HELP US! *TR

HAD THE PRESCRIBED N23 RECALL DONE BECAUSE A SAFETY HAZARD WAS POSSIBLE ,YET THE SAFETY HAZARDS SEEMED TO COME THEREAFTER,THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN BACK MULTIPLE TIMES WITHOUT ANY RESOLUTION.SEEMS THAT THE DEALER IS VERY EVASIVE AND IT ALWAYS LEADS TO SOMETHING ELSE BEEN THE PROBLEM AND NOW THE SAID PART IS ON A NATIONAL BACKORDER,WOULD THIS NOT INDICATE A NATIONAL ISSUE WITH REGARDS TO THESE VEHICLES.THE 4X4 SYSTEM IS NOW MALFUNCTIONING. *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

I TOOK MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER TO GET A N23 RECALL DONE ON IT. WITHOUT CHECKING ANYTHING BEFORE I DROVE OFF THE LOT AFTER THEY DID THE UPDATE, I TRIED MY 4LO DRIVE OUT AND WOULD NOT WORK A FEW WEEKS LATER. I ADVISED THE JEEP DEALERSHIP OF THE PROBLEM BUT THEY SAID HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE RECALL. AS I LOOKED FURTHER INTO MY SITUATION IM NOT THE ONLY PERSON TO EXPERIENCE THIS ISSUE WITH THIS EXACT RECALL. I HAD JEEP TAKE IT BACK IN TO LOOK OVER THE RECALL. THEY HAD MY VEHICLE FOR 2 DAYS TO TELL ME THAT ITS MY TRANSFER CASE ACTUATOR THAT HAS GONE OUT. AS I ADVISED THAT THE PAPERWORK I GAVE TO THEM REGUARDING THIS RECALL IS IN REGUARDS TO MY TRANSFER CASE ACTUATOR ELECTRICAL FAILURE. BUT THEY INSIST ITS NOW UP TO ME TO PAY AND FIX THIS MYSELF. SO NOW IM STUCK HAVING TO FORK OUT MONEY TO REPLACE A PART THATS NOT COMMUNICATING WITH THE RECALL THAT WAS SENT TO ME IN THE FIRST PLACE PLUS A DIAGNOSTICS FEE FOR TAKING MY JEEP BACK. SOMETHING THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO HELP MY JEEP HAS MADE IT WORSE AND TO TOP IT OFF I'VE GOT NOTHING BUT HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR THE DEALERSHIP AND ALSO CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE. I HAVE A PAPER IN FRONT OF MY FACE THAT SHOWS WHY THEY ARE HAVING A RECALL DUE TO THE TRANSFER CASE ACTUATOR BUT SOMEHOW NOT THE DEALERSHIP OR CHRYSLER CANT FIND SUCH THING. I TOLD THEM TO GET ON THE INTERNET AND WAS INFORMED THAT EVERYTHING YOU SEE ON THE INTERNET IS NOT TRUE. THATS WHEN I HAD ENOUGH. HOW DARE THEM SAY THAT WHEN CHRYSLERS NAME IS ON THE TOP LEFT OF THE RECALL. I FEEL NOW THAT I WAS LET DOWN BY THE DEALERSHIP AND CHRYSLER AND HAVE NO WHERE TO TURN TO HELP ME GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED WITHOUT PAYING OUT OF MY POCKET. *TR

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

I WOULD BE DRIVING, AND MY TEMPERATURE GAUGE WOULD SLOWLY CREEP OVER TO HOT, TEMP OVER HEATING..I NOTICED AS I SLOWED DOWN MY CAR WANTED TO STALL, IT WOULD PUTT PUTT PUTT UNTIL I GAVE IT A GO AS IF IT WAS MISFIRING, AND SLOWLY THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE WOULD GO BACK TO NORMAL. HONESTLY NOT THINKING ANYTHING OF IT, I WENT HOME, DROPPED THE GROCERIES OFF AND PROCEEDED BACK TO MY CAR TO PICK MY SON UP FROM SCHOOL. I STARTED MY CAR, IT STALLED, I STARTED IT AGAIN, IT STALLED, EXTREMELY WORRIED I WAS PRAYING THIRD TIME A CHARM..AS I STARTED IT THE THIRD TIME IT STARTED WITH MUCH HESITATION AND DID THE SAME STUTTERING AS IF IT WAS MISFIRING AGAIN. I PROCEEDED TO MY SONS SCHOOL, WATCHING THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE CREEP RIGHT BACK UP TO HOT. WHEN I GOT THERE I CHECKED THE HOOD, NO STEAM, NOTHING SEEMED HOT, AND THE COOLANT LEVEL WAS STILL FULL. WHEN WE WENT TO LEAVE IT REFUSED TO START. LONG STORY SHORT, I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT MY CAR FOR A MONTH NOW, AND AFTER SPENDING 1000'S OF DOLLARS TO FIX THE SITUATION, THE MECHANIC CANT FOR CERTAIN PUT HIS HAND ON IT. EVERYTHING HE DOES, LEADS TO HIM THINKING SOMETHING ELSE, AND LEADS TO THE PROBLEM BECOMING AN ENGINE OVERHAUL. HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS OVER HEATING ISSUE, AND THE MISFIRING OF THE CAR, AS IF IT STALLS WHILE DRIVING? PLEASE, I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER, I AM AT MY WITS END. *TR
