2007 JEEP COMMANDER Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER HOWEVER, THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

THE SEAT BELTS IN MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER MALFUNCTION. THE THIRD ROW SEAT BUCKLES HAVE CRACKED MAKING THEM VERY DIFFICULT TO GET THE BELT INTO THE BUCKLE. AT TIMES THE BELTS WILL EVEN UNLATCH ON THEIR OWN. ONE OF THE BUCKLES HAD SHATTERED AND IS NOW COMPLETELY INOPERABLE. THIS IS ALSO HAPPENING TO THE SECOND ROW SEATS AS WELL AS THE PASSENGER SEAT. HAVING THREE CHILDREN WITH CAR SEATS IN THE CAR, THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. ESPECIALLY SINCE THEY CAN DETACH AT ANY TIME. IT ALSO MAKES ME VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SECURITY OF THE BELTS IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. I HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE REGARDING THE 2006-2007 MODEL YEARS HAVING SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH THE SEAT BELTS. *TR

I PULLED IN MY DRIVEWAY, PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND AS I WAS TURNING OFF THE KEY MY CAR MADE HORRIBLE NOISE, AND WHEN I TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE I HAD NO POWER. I WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND TRIED THE KEY AGAIN, AND THE DASH FLICKED OFF AND ON, OFF AND ON AND IT SAID TRANSMISSION OVER TEMPERATURE, CHECK GAUGES, ETC. THIS MORNING I TRIED AGAIN, AND IT SAID SOME CODE AND THEN WENT COMPLETELY DARK TODAY. ABOUT A MONTH AGO I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH AND MY CAR JUST LURCHED SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED ITSELF ON A FREEWAY. I TALKED TO THE TECH - THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT IT COULD BE. READING THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS. STILL NOT SURE WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY CAR THIS TIME, I GET IT SERVICED REGULARLY AND OBVIOUSLY NEED TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A DEALER TO GET CHECKED OUT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, A TRAIN CRASHED INTO THE REAR PASSENGER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THIS CAR LOOSES POWER WITHOUT WARNING... GOES INTO NEUTRAL WITHOUT WARNING... SLOWS DOWN WITHOUT WARNING... I HAVE COMPLAINTS DATED BACK TO 2011... FINALLY A RECALL... BUT THE CHRYSLER JEEP REP SAID BC OF THE TYPE OF TRAC SYSTEM I HAVE IT WON'T APPLY TO ME... I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE BUT HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE UNLESS I WALK! MY VEHICLE IS WITHIN THE SAME YR AS THE RECALL AND HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS... IM FILING A LAWSUIT!!! THEY WON'T BE SATISFIED UNTIL SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED! *TR

ON TWO SEPARATE OCCURRENCES SO FAR, THE JEEP HAS RANDOMLY STALLED OUT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IN TRAFFIC. ACCELERATOR AND STEERING LOOSE FUNCTION. OTHER TIMES IT HAS NEARLY STALLED BUT REGAINED OPERATION. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON WITH CODE FOR LARGE VACUUM LEAK? DEALER WAS UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND IS CURRENTLY EVALUATING AGAIN. VEHICLE STARTS BACK UP FINE AFTER PULLING TO SIDE OF ROAD AND REMOVING AND REINSERTING KEY. SAFETY ISSUE TO STALL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND LOSE POWER STEERING! THIS DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE THE FIRST OCCURRENCE AS THERE ARE MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS AND A RECALL/INVESTIGATION WHICH NOTED IT IN 2007 VEHICLES BUT ONLY ISSUED A PCM RECALL FOR 2006 VEHICLES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AS THE ENGINE WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL CAP WAS LOOSE AND NEEDED TO BE TIGHTEN. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ANOTHER DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 160,900.

SLOWING DOWN FOR STOPPING OR MAKING A TURN THE ENGINE STOPS; THE CAR DIES. IT HAS BEEN RESTARTING SO FAR. I AM AFRAID I AM GOING TO BE KILLED AND/OR CAUSE OTHERS TO BE KILLED. I HAVE HAD THE CAR CHECKED OUT AND THEY SAY EVERYTHING CHECKS OUT AS OK. THIS COST ME OVER $300. THEY CHANGED THE SPARK PLUGS BUT WARNED ME THIS WAS NOT ADDRESSING THE PROBLEM I WAS HAVING. SURE ENOUGH IT IS STILL DYING ON ME. PLEASE HELP ME. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE IN A DRUNK DRIVER WHO KNOWS BEFORE HE TAKES THAT DRINK THAT HE MAY KILL SOMEONE AND AN AUTO DEALER WHO IGNORE A PROBLEM AND KILLS SOMEONE? I NEED TO KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS SO I CAN GET THIS REPAIRED. *TR

AFTER TAKING THE JEEP COMMANDER IN TO A DEALER SHIP TO GET RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 13V175000 FIXED THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN WANTING TO TURN OFF AT RANDOM. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE IN PARK OR EVEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE 1ST TIME IT HAPPEN, I WAS ACCELERATING WHILE GETTING ON THE HIGH WAY AND I WAS GOING ABOUT 40 MPH AND THE ENGINE LOST ALL POWER AND IT WAS HARD TO STEER. IT LASTED ABOUT 4 SEC AND THEN STOPPED. THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPEN WAS GOING DOWN THE HIGH WAY ABOUT 65 MPH WITH THE CRUISE ON AND IT DID THE SAME THING AND THE LAST TIME IT DID IT THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. EACH TIME IT HAPPENS IT ONLY LAST ABOUT 4-5 SECS. IT JUST STARTED DOING IT RIGHT AFTER THE DEALER SHIP REPROGRAMMED THE ECM TO FIX THE RECALL. *JB

VEHICLE KEEPS LOOSING POWER SHIFTS INTO N STATE, PDRN ARE HIGHLIGHTED WITH BOXES AND YOU HAVE TO WIGGLE SHIFTER TO REGAIN POWER. MESSAGE IS: "SERVICE PARK ASSIST". NOT SURE IF THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE THAT THE LATEST RECALL (13V175000) LISTED IS HOWEVER, MY JEEP DOESN'T SEEM TO FALL IN THE MANUFACTURED DATE RANGE SO I AM MAKING A FORMAL COMPLAINT SINCE THIS IS KIND OF LOW MILES TO HAVE THIS KIND OF AN ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND IT IS HAPPENING WITH MY MANUFACTURED DATE VEHICLE. *JB
