THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE ENGINE WAS RESTARTED AND RESUMED NORMALLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART AFTER A FEW MINUTES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC PERFORMED. THE TECHNICIAN WAS ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE MANIFOLD AIR PRESSURE NEEDED TO BE RESET IN ORDER TO REPAIR THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT BELIEVES THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,448 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 50,872.

VEHICLE RANDOMLY STALLS WHILE DRIVING IT AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND WHILE PARKED. THIS TIME, I WAS GOING 45MPH AND IT COMPLETELY STALLED. THE VEHICLE HAS TO BE IN PARK IN ORDER TO RESTART IT AND IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO START. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SINCE THE BRAKES AND STEERING DON'T WORK WHEN IT STALLS. I HAVE ALSO DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON A HANDFUL OF 2008 COMMANDERS DUE TO A MALFUNCTIONING FRONT CONTROL MODULE OR TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. THIS SHOULD BE TAKEN VERY SERIOUSLY BECAUSE MANY JEEP OWNERS ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE THEM DUE TO THE UNCERTAINTY OF THE RANDOM STALLING. *TR

I HAD THIS VEHICLE SINCE 2008, AND THIS IS THE THREE TIMES THAT IT WOULD NOT START ONCE DRIVEN. DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO THE STORE, PARK IT FOR AT LESS 15 MINS, WHEN I STARTED THE CAR IT DO NOT START. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON . THE OTHER TWO TIME THAT THE CAR WOULD NOT START THE DEALERSHIP REPAIR SHOP COULD TELL ME WHAT WAS WRONG AND THE CAR START UP FOR THEM. THAT WAS IN 2010 AND 2011,NOW IT HAPPEN AGAIN! WAS TOLD THAT THIS PROBLEM NEED TO BE REPORTED. AFTER READING THE COMPLAINTS FROM THE OTHER OWNERS OF THE 2007 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4 THIS SEEM AS IF THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM. WE ARE BLESS THAT THERE HAS BEEN NO DEATHS. *TR

AT VARIOUS TIMES WITHOUT WARNING WE LOSE POWER TO THE MOTOR. CAN NOT ACCELERATE. ENGINE SPUTTERS. HAPPENS FROM DEAD STOP, IDLING, OR WITHOUT WARNING DRIVING IN CITY OR HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. BEEN LOOKED AT BY MULTIPLE MECHANICS WHO ARE STUMPED. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND SOMETIMES FLASHES PLUS ALMOST ALL DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS TURN ON SOMETIMES. THIS HAPPENED WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND THEY WOUND UP CHANGING THE TRANSMISSION. *TR

CAR STALLS WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THE DRNP DASH LIGHTS ALL LIGHT UP AT THE SAME TIME AND THE CAR SHUTS DOWN FOR A COUPLE SECONDS, THEN IT RESUMES. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES RANDOMLY IN THE PAST. TODAY, IT STALLED 3 TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY ON MY HOME FROM WORK. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND RESTART THE CAR. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FINALLY CAME ON TODAY. THE SEATBELTS ALSO HAVE BROKEN SEVERAL TIMES. I'VE REPLACED 2 SEPARATE SEATBELT CASES (THE OUTER COVER) IN THE PAST YEAR. THE MIDDLE, SECOND ROW SEATBELT IS LOCKED UP AND CURRENTLY UNUSABLE. WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR, THE FIRST TIME I PUT UP THE 3RD ROW SEAT, THE SEATBELT WAS CRUSHED BY THE SEAT AND BROKEN. AND, THE BACK SEATBELT IS CURRENTLY BROKEN AGAIN (WHICH I HAVE ONLY USED THE 3RD ROW SEATS TWICE SINCE OWNING THE CAR), I PLAN TO HAVE THEM REPAIR IT AGAIN WHEN I TAKE THE CAR IN TO GET THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CHECKED :( *TR

I HAVE HAD MY 07 JEEP COMMANDER (3.6 V6) SINCE JANUARY 2008. I HAVE NOTICE NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE DRIVING FROM A COMPLETE STOP, THAT MY VEHICLE WILL LOSE POWER AND START TO SPUTTER WHEN I TRY TO APPLY THE GAS AND THE CAR MOVES VERY SLOW AS IN LESS THAN 20MPH. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME NUMEROUS TIMES AND MAKES ME VERY UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING KNOWING THAT MY CAR CAN STOP AND LEAVE ME VULNERABLE TO BEING REAR-ENDED AT INTERSECTIONS OR COMMON STOPS. I NOTICE WHEN THIS HAPPENS THAT MY VEHICLE CLUSTER DISPLAYS "SERVICE PARK ASSIST" AND THE SERVICE PARK ASSIST LIGHT COMES ON UNCONTROLLABLY AND AT THE SAME TIME MY DASH/ CLUSTER ALSO DISPLAYS ( [P][R][N][D] ) ALL AT ONCE AS IF THE VEHICLE DOES NOT KNOW WHAT GEAR IT IS IN. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR A VEHICLE THAT IS SUPPOSED TO PROVIDE A SAFE DRIVING EXPERIENCE. I ALSO FIND IT VERY DISAPPOINTING THAT NUMEROUS PEOPLE ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES AND INTERNET/ FORUMS ALL HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND CHRYSLER TRIES TO NARROW IT DOWN TO A SELECT YEAR. MODEL. AND ENGINE. MY VEHICLE HAS THE SAME ISSUES AS THE PREVIOUS RECALL FOR THE 2007 4.7 V8 ENGINES, YET CHRYSLER IGNORES THE COMMUNITY OF JEEP COMMANDER OWNERS WITH THE 3.6 V6 ENGINE THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE IS ALSO A TSB (18-004-09 REV. A) THAT DESCRIBES THE CLUNKING AND HESITATION YOU FEEL WHEN TRYING TO GET UP TO SPEED. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING A CUSTOMER SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR. MY VEHICLE IS A 2007 WITH LESS THAN 40,000 MILES ON IT AND I SHOULD BE ABLE TO ENJOY MY VEHICLE SAFELY DURING THIS TIME PERIOD. ANOTHER PROBLEM IS THAT THE VEHICLE DOES THIS AT RANDOM SO YOU CAN'T JUST TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND SHOW THEM THE PROBLEM. I'M SURE THEY WOULD GLADLY TAKE MY MONEY AND LET ME SPEND 1000+ DOLLARS FOR NEW PARTS, BUT I HAVE AN 8YR/80,000 MILE WARRANTY PURCHASED FROM CHRYSLER AND WILL NOT PAY FOR DIAGNOSTIC AFTER DIAGNOSTIC TO TRY AND REPLICATE A PROBLEM THAT IS CLEARLY THERE... *TR

I PURCHASED MY USED JEEP COMMANDER AND SHORTLY AFTER IT STALLED ON ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I TOOK TURNED THE KEY AND GOT IT TO TURN ON AGAIN, LUCKILY THERE WERE NO CARS BEHIND ME. ANOTHER TIME I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED, AGAIN I WAS LUCKY THE TRAFFIC WAS BACKED UP AND NOT MOVING TOO FAST. BEFORE MY WARRANTY RAN OUT I TOOK IT IN AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WAS NOTHING COMING UP ON THEIR TESTS THAT WAS OF CONCERN. THE NEXT MONTH MY WARRANTY EXPIRED AND I WAS STRANDED AT A STORE. MY JEEP WOULD NOT TURN ON CLAIMING "TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP." IT WAS NOT THE BATTERY. I LEFT IT OVER NIGHT AND WENT BACK THE NEXT DAY AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY JEEP AND SUGGESTED A TRANSMISSION COMPUTER UPDATE. ABOUT A MONTH LATER I WAS BACK AT THE SHOP WITH THE "TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP" ISSUE, BUT THE JEEP BEHAVED AT THE DEALERSHIP. I PICKED IT UP AND ABOUT 2 MONTHS LATER I WAS BACK AT THE SHOP, HAVING TO TOW IN MY CAR. THE CAR AGAIN TURNED ON, SO THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE STARTER RELAY ON A GUESS (I WAS NOT CHARGED). AGAIN 2 MONTHS LATER MY CAR IS BACK IN THE SHOP FOR NOT TURNING ON, AGAIN SAYING THAT THERE IS A "TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP" ISSUE. ALSO WHILE I AM SITTING AT A RED LIGHT, I FIND MY JEEP SHAKING LIKE CRAZY. IT SEEMS LIKE IT WANTS TO TURN OFF, BUT IT DOESN'T (OR MAYBE THE LIGHT CHANGES JUST IN TIME). I HAVE DONE REGULAR MAINTENANCE ON MY JEEP. THE DEALERSHIP HAS RUN THEIR DIAGNOSTIC TESTS ON THE JEEP AND ABSOLUTELY NOTHING HAS COME UP. ALL IN ALL, I DRIVE IN FEAR THAT MY CAR WILL STALL AGAIN ON THE HIGHWAY, PUTTING BOTH MY SON'S AND MY LIFE IN DANGER, OR THAT WE WILL BE STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. *TR

JEEP COMMANDER STALLS RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS THE 5TH TIME IN LESS THAN A WEEK. WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLS, THE STEERING LOCKS UP AND THE CAR HAS TO BE PUT INTO PARK IN ORDER TO RESTART IT, AND IS DIFFICULT TO RESTART WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE CAR IS MOVING WHEN IT STALLS. *TR
