2007 JEEP COMMANDER Complaints

THE 3RD ROW SEAT BELT DO NOT RETRACT WHEN THE SEATS ARE BEING FOLDED DOWN WHICH CAUSES THE SEAT BELTS TO BECOME JAMMED AND TEARING THE SEATS, ALSO WHEN FIXED, THE SEAT BELT WILL BECOME LOCKED IN PLACE CAUSING A PERSON TO BECOME STUCK IN THE SEATBELT, A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT, THIS PERSON WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF HIS/HER SEAT. THIS IS A DEFECT FROM JEEP AND SHOULD BE FIXED AT JEEPS EXPENSE. JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD NO PREVIOUS COMPLAINTS, BUT I FOUND OUT THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SEAT BELTS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MILES AN HOUR, THE VEHICLE STALLED IT WAS TOWED TO MY HOME BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT RESTART AT THE TIME. WE HAD A MECHANIC DO A SPOT CHECK FOR BLOWN FUSES AND BATTERY/ALTERNATOR ISSUES, BUT NO ISSUE WAS FOUND. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED THE NEXT MORNING. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS ON THE ON-RAMP TO THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND LOST POWER. I WAS NOT ABLE TO RESTART VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL, ONCE IT ROLLED TO A STOP, AND IT WAS PLACED IN DRIVE, THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO START. APPROXIMATELY TWO MILES ON THE HIGHWAY, DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MILES AN HOUR, THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN AGAIN. IT RESTARTED ONCE IT CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND I WAS ABLE TO PUT IT IN DRIVE. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE 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 85,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 86,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED AS THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

YESTERDAY I WENT TO START MY JEEP AND WHEN I TURNED THE KEY NOTHING HAPPENED. A FEW SECONDS LATER IT STARTED WITHOUT ME DOING ANYTHING. I ONLY HAD TO DRIVE A FEW BLOCKS AND THEN SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. AFTER 15 MIN I CAME BACK OUT TO START MY JEEP AND NOTHING... I JUST HAD A NEW BATTERY AND STARTER INSTALLED ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 20 MIN AND TRYING TO START IT SEVERAL TIMES, IT TURNED ON. THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS W THE LIGHTS OR AC.. I TOOK IT TO AN AUTO PARTS STORE AND THEY HOOKED IT UP TO THE MACHINE, BATTERY, STARTER, AND ALTERNATOR WERE ALL READING GOOD. IT STARTED FINE FOR THE REST OF THE DAY, HOWEVER WHEN I WENT TO LEAVE WORK THAT NIGHT, IT TOOK A FEW TRIES AND ABOUT 5 MIN. I ALSO HAD OVER HALF A TANK OF GAS SO THAT'S NOT AN ISSUE. I STARTED RESEARCHING AND FOUND MANY SIMILAR CASES. I AM SUPPOSED TO TAKE MY JEEP ON A 13 HOUR TRIP NEXT MONTH AND NOW I AM VERY NERVOUS THAT I WILL END UP STRANDED WHILE ON VACATION. THE FACT THAT I FOUND SO MANY OTHER JEEP OWNERS EXPERIENCING ALMOST IDENTICAL PROBLEMS HAS LEFT ME VERY UPSET AND NERVOUS EVERY TIME I NEED TO GO SOMEWHERE. I ALSO HAVE 2 YOUNG CHILDREN AND IT WORRIES ME TO END UP STRANDED SOMEWHERE WITH THEM. I HOPE JEEP DOES SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. I HAVE HAD MINE FOR 3 YEARS AND HAVE LOVED IT THUS FAR. I'M NOT IN A POSITION TO GET A NEW VEHICLE AT THE MOMENT SO I HOPE THIS PROBLEM IS FIXED ASAP. *TR

I WAS NOTIFIED OF A RECALL NOTICE ON MY COMMANDER IN JUNE. THE RECALL (N23) STATES THE CAR CAN SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL WHILE IN THE PARKED POSITION. MY CAR HAS SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL TWICE WHILE MOVING, ONCE WHILE I WAS TRAVELING 25 MPH AND ONCE AT 70 MPH. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND CHRYSLER. THE PART IS CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE TO FIX THE RECALL ISSUE. THEY INFORMED ME THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO BUT WAIT. THEY DO NOT HAVE AN EXPECTED DATE FOR THE PART'S ARRIVAL. I'M LEFT WITHOUT A VEHICLE, AND THEY DO NOT COVER LOANER CARS FOR THEIR RECALL. *TR

VEHICLE STALLED WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TAKE OFF FROM A RED LIGHT. IT WOULD NOT INITIALLY RESTART, BUT A FULL POWER CYCLE OF THE CAR RESOLVED THE ISSUE. REPORTING INCIDENT AS MANY OTHERS HAVE REPORTED SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND WANT TO ADD TO THE DATA. *TR

SINCE SEPT. 2012 I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE NOT STARTING AND THE DASHBOARD MESSAGE IS "TRANSMISSION OVER HEAT" OR "TRANSMISSION TEMP OVER HEAT". IT WILL NOT START AT ALL. THIS PAST SUNDAY IT STARTED BUT IT WOULD CUT OFF LIKE IT WAS OUT OF GAS BUT THERE WAS A MORE THAN HALF FULL. I HAD TO GET TOWED FOR THE 2ND TIME IN A WEEK AND FOR THE 5TH TIME SINCE 2012. NO ONE SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM AND FIX IT PERMANENTLY SO THIS PROBLEM DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. I AM A DISABLED WOMAN AND CAN'T AFFORD TO BE STRANDED EVERY TIME I GET IN MY VEHICLE AND HAVE TO SIT AND WAIT FOR A TOW FOR OVER AN HOUR. I ALSO HAVE TO KEEP PAYING FOR REPAIRS THAT HAVEN'T BEEN WORKING SO THAT'S DRAINING ME. IS THERE A REASON FOR THIS PROBLEM AND IF SOMEONE HAS THE ANSWER PLEASE LET ME KNOW SO I CAN GET THIS FIXED ONCE AND FOR ALL. I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS WITH ANY VEHICLE I'VE EVER HAD BEFORE. *TR

STALLS OUT WHILE WAITING AT RED LIGHTS STALLS OUT ON THE HIGHWAY FOR NO REASON AND MISFIRES MULTIPLE TIMES THROUGH THE DRIVE DAILY. *TR
