2007 JEEP COMMANDER Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE WENT INTO LIMP MODE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND THEN BACK TO DRIVE AND THE FAILURE CEASED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND THEY STATED THAT THE SHIFT MODULAR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED BUT PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE AT 65MPH MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, A MESSAGE STATING "SERVICE PARKING ASSIST SYSTEM" APPEARED, AND DRNP WAS BLOCKED ON THE FRONT DASH. THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND ACCELERATION AND BEGAN TO FEEL AS IF THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS APPLIED AT FULL FORCE. I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY, TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON. ONLINE RESEARCH SUGGESTS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM INVOLVING THE ELECTRONIC SHIFTING MODULE AND/OR CONNECTION ISSUES WITH THE REAR PARKING ASSIST SENSORS. THIS PERVASIVE PROBLEM SHOULD BE RECTIFIED WITH A RECALL AT NO COST TO CUSTOMERS. *TR

THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED ON ME AT LEAST 30 TIMES. IT OCCURS WHILE IDLING AT A STOP AND ALSO AT SLOWER SPEEDS. AFTER RAINY DAYS SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE WON'T START. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT SO THE DEALER CAN'T FIX IT. IT SETS OFF NO ENGINE CODES. I HAVE HAD MANY ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE HOWEVER THIS ONE IS VERY UNSAFE. *TR

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER WITH 4.7 LITER V8 HAS STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. IT HAS HAPPENED AT IDLE, WHILE SLOWING, WHILE ACCELERATING, AND WHILE DRIVING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS (60-70 MPH). EACH TIME IT HAS RESTARTED AFTER TAKING THE TRANSMISSION OUT OF GEAR, TURNING THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION, AND RESTARTING THE ENGINE. THIS IS POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS IF IT HAPPENS UNDER THE WRONG CIRCUMSTANCES SINCE YOU, OF COURSE, UNEXPECTEDLY LOSE POWER ASSIST ON BOTH BRAKES AND STEERING WHEN THE ENGINE DIES. *TR

JUST PURCHASED USED 2007 COMMANDER SPORT V6 AT 58458 MILES... DROVE IT ON VACATION FROM DETROIT TO WILMINGTON, NC APPROX. 900 MILES. TRIP WENT WITHOUT INCIDENT UNTIL WE DROVE DOWN TO SEE THE OCEAN TURNED OFF THE CAR, WALKED ALONG THE BEACH FOR ABOUT A HALF AN HOUR, CAME BACK TO THE CAR, TURNED THE IGNITION AND ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. HOWEVER, ALL THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS SEEM TO BE FUNCTIONING EXCEPT THE STARTER. AT THE DEALER NOW AND WAITING TO SEE WHAT THEY TELL ME. I SPENT 25 PLUS YEARS WORKING IN DEALERSHIPS, MOSTLY CHRYSLER, NOT AS A MECHANIC BUT I HAD MY FAIR SHARE OF EXPOSURE TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. SIGNED, STRANDED IN NC *TR

VEHICLE STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. WARNING ON DASH STATES "SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM". *TR

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS OUR 2007 JEEP COMMANDER WITH 5.7 LITER V8 HAS STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. IT HAS HAPPENED AT IDLE, WHILE SLOWING, WHILE ACCELERATING, AND WHILE DRIVING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS (60-70 MPH). EACH TIME IT HAS RESTARTED AFTER TAKING THE TRANSMISSION OUT OF GEAR, TURNING THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION, AND RESTARTING THE ENGINE. THIS IS POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS IF IT HAPPENS UNDER THE WRONG CIRCUMSTANCES SINCE YOU, OF COURSE, UNEXPECTEDLY LOSE POWER ASSIST ON BOTH BRAKES AND STEERING WHEN THE ENGINE DIES. THE DEALER CLAIMED TO HAVE FIXED IT ONCE, BUT IT CONTINUED TO STALL. IT HAS NOW BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR 3 WEEKS AND NEITHER THEY NOR THE CHRYSLER ENGINEERS THEY HAVE CONSULTED CLAIM TO HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT IS CHRYSLER NEEDS TO MAKE THIS RIGHT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND GASKET WERE REPLACED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER THEN REPLACED THE EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION VALVE BUT AGAIN, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER THEN CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT WAS CAUSING THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 124,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 128,000.

THE CAR WILL SLOW DOWN AND THE SERVICE PARK LIGHT WILL POP ON THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THE DAY I PURCHASED THE CAR. I HAVE TAKEN INTO THE SHOP PLENTY OF TIMES AND THEY KEEP TELLING ME NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS IT HAS ONLY GOTTEN WORSE. IT HAS DONE THIS ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE GOING 75 MILES AN HOUR. I HAVE HAD TO PULL OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WAIT LIKE 5 MINUTES BEFORE I CAN TAKE OFF AGAIN. THIS IS REALLY BECOMING A PROBLEM AND I AM AFRAID TO EVEN PUT MY GRANDBABY IN THE CAR WITH ME BECAUSE I'M AFRAID THIS WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE JUST RECENTLY WENT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME FOR THEM TO CHECK MY CAR AND I HAVE BEEN TELLING THEM THIS ISSUE FROM THE DAY I HAD MY CAR AND MY WARRANTY WAS STILL IN PLACE, BUT THEY CONTINUED TO TELL ME NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. *TR

AFTER A SCHEDULE TUNE UP, WHERE TWO COIL PACKS WERE REPLACED, AND A PCM SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS PERFORMED OUR 2007 JEEP COMMANDER BEGAN STALLING AT SLOW SPEEDS. USUALLY UNDER 20 MPH OR AT A STOP WHEN THE ENGINE IS AT OR NEAR IDLE SPEEDS, THE ENGINE WILL OBRUPTLY STALL WITHOUT WARNING. THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND NO ERROR CODE. OUR LOCAL JEEP DEALER HAS MADE SEVERAL REPAIR ATTEMPTS INCLUDING REPLACING THE PCM, AND SHIELDING THE ENGINE WIRING HARNESS WITH ALUMINUM FOIL. THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. THE KEY MUST BE CYCLED TO THE 'OFF' POSITION TO RESTART THE ENGINE. THE ENGINE HAS STALLED AT HIGH SPEEDS A FEW TIMES MAKING FOR A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR
