2007 JEEP COMMANDER Complaints

VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. DROVE 1.5 MILES TO GAS STATION. TURNED CAR OFF. FUELED. CAR WOULD NOT START. MESSAGE ON DISPLAY: TRANSMISSION OVER TEMPERATURE. 30 MINUTES LATER CAR STARTED. NEXT INCIDENT OCCURRED TODAY (4/2/12). CAR WAS PARKED FOR 10.5 HOURS BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO START. CAR WOULD NOT START. MESSAGE ON DISPLAY: TRANSMISSION OVER TEMPERATURE. CAR STILL WON'T START THREE HOURS LATER. CONTACTED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE BECAUSE OF RECALL H03 (SIMILAR SYMPTOMS). THEY STATED THAT MY CAR WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL.

MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER TURNS OFF O ME WHEN I'M AT STOP SIGNS OR SLOWING DOWN WITHOUT ANY WARNING. TODAY I WENT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND TOLD THE SERVICE ADVISOR ABOUT THE PROBLEM. HE ACTED LIKE THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME HE HAS HEARD ABOUT THE ISSUE. HE ASKED ME HOW OFTEN IT HAPPENS AND I SAID A FEW TIMES A WEEK. HE THEN SAID THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE TO BE BROUGHT IN WHILE IT'S HAPPENING. REALLY!!!! HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO TAKE IT IN WHEN IT HAPPENS OR BEFORE IT HAPPENS! THE VEHICLE DOESN'T WARN ME AND IT TURNS IN RIGHT AWAY AS IF NOTHING HAS EVER HAPPENED! IT IS SO FRUSTRATING!! I'VE HAD IT FOR LESS THAN A YEAR AND WE ARE ALREADY EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS! I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH MY BABY! I'VE READ ALL THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE!! THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED! I THINK THIS VEHICLE IS A LEMON! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENLY AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHENEVER THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE DEALER WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, BUT WOULD NOT INFORM THE CONTACT HOW THEY WERE ABLE TO DO SO. THE DEALER STATED THAT EVERYTHING WAS FINE WITH THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

DRIVING AT 70 MPH ON TOLLWAY AND VEHICLE STALLED AND STEERING WHEEL COLUMN LOCKED UP. THIS HAPPENED TWO DAYS AGO AND IS OCCURRING MORE OFTEN. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL COLUMN LOCKS AS YOU ARE DRIVING. IT HAS HAPPENED FOUR MORE TIMES. I NOW DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE I FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND MY DAUGHTER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED AND THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED. THE FAILURE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED AND NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 70,000.

RECENTLY HAD TO HAVE SUNROOF DRAINS CLEANED FOR SECOND TIME IN THE LAST 14 MONTHS AT A COST OF $500 EACH TIME. HEBERTS TOWN AND COUNTRY IN SHREVEPORT, LA TELLS ME THAT DRAINS ARE CLOGGED AND THIS IS CAUSING WATER TO LEAK INTO THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. THEY ALSO MENTIONED THAT THEY CAN'T WARRANTY ANY OF THE WORK B/C AN ACTUAL PART HASN'T BROKEN. VERY CONVENIENT FOR THEM. WE PARKED THE VEHICLE IN A GARAGE IN THE EVENINGS AND MADE SURE WE DIDN'T PARK UNDER ANY TREES AT OTHER TIMES THAT MAY CLOG DRAINS, BUT THEY GOT CLOGGED. I'M NOT SURE HOW CLEAN YOU HAVE TO KEEP VEHICLE TO KEEP DRAINS FROM CLOGGING, BUT I EFFECTIVELY HAVE A JEEP THAT CAN'T GET WET OR DIRTY. COMPLETELY CONTRARY TO ANY ADVERTISING DONE BY JEEP CLAIMING HOW RUGGED THEIR VEHICLES ARE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING, THE ENGINE WILL SUDDENLY DIE WITHOUT WARNING. ALL POWER STEERING/BRAKES ARE LOST. IT WILL RESTART IMMEDIATELY. THIS IS AN ONGOING, BUT RANDOM PROBLEM. THE ONLY CODE THAT IS RECORDED REFERS TO THE IGNITION RELAY MODULE. TO DATE THE EGR, IGNITION RELAY MODULE, AND CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR HAVE BEEN REPLACED. THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. THIS PROBLEM REPRESENTS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE, AS A LOSS OF POWER WHILE PULLING INTO TRAFFIC COULD HAVE CATASTROPHIC CONSEQUENCES. *TR

VEHICLE HAS LOST ALL POWER WHILE DRIVING, ENGINE SHUTS DOWN, NO ELECTRICAL POWER AND HAD TO COAST TO A STOP. VEHICLE RESTARTS AFTER TURNING KEY TO OFF AND THEN RESTARTING. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE NOW, THE FIRST TIME ON FEB. 20TH, 2012 AND YESTERDAY MAR.10TH, 2012. *TR *JS

THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW OCTOBER 2007, ALSO THE EXTENDED WARRANTY 5YEAR 60,000 WAS PURCHASED AT THE SAME TIME. THE MAJOR PROBLEMS BEGAN WITH THE TRANSMISSION ELECTRONIC SYSTEM, THE REMOVED AND REPLACED SOMETHING INSIDE. MEANWHILE THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN SERVICED AND MAINTAINED BY GRAVA CHRYSLER JEEP SINCE NEW THE FIRST TIME WE COMPLAINED AND HAD IT SERVICED WAS JANUARY 2011 AND THE LAST REPORT WAS FEBRUARY 20,2012 AND THEY STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT TO FIX..LAST YEAR WHILE DRIVING HOME ON INTERSTATE 93 SPEED APPROX 55 THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND WE ALMOST WERE STRUCK BY ANOTHER VEHICLE, WE HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK TO RESTART.WOULD NOT RESTART IN NEUTRAL. THE TECH AND SERVICE MANAGER SAID IT SHOULD HAVE,WELL IT DIDN'T. THEY REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH, IT HAPPENED AGAIN,THEY REPLACED SOME MODULE, IT HAPPENED AGAIN, THEY CHANGED THE FUEL PUMP, IT HAPPENED AGAIN FOR THE SIXTH (6) TIME.THEY KEPT IT FOR 10 DAYS AND WERE NOT ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM, NO CODE ,NO PROBLEM THAT WAS THEIR ANSWER.BY THE WAY THEY PUT OVER 500 MILES ON THE VEHICLE THIS TIME. *TR
