2007 JEEP COMMANDER Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 40 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT HAD TO PULL OVER AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE DEALER REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY, SPARK PLUGS AND PERFORMED A FUEL SYSTEM FLUSH. NONE OF THE REPAIRS REMEDIED THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO GENERATE ANY FAILURE CODES FROM THE DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000.

OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WILL FLASH A WARNING SAYING SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE GEAR DISPLAY ON THE DASH PRND WILL ALL 4 GET CIRCLED AND FLASH AND THEN AS YOU ARE ACCELERATING YOU CAN FEEL THE VEHICLE LOSE SPEED. YOU CAN NO LONGER ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE AND HAVE TO COAST OFF THE ROAD. ONCE YOU STOP AND SHIFT TO PARK THEN BACK TO DRIVE IT WILL RESET AND THEN ALLOW YOU TO ACCELERATE. I WAS GOING 65 ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED LAST AND THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. FOR ABOUT THE PAST 30,000-40,000 K MILES WE HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH IT SHIFTING PROPERLY AND EVERY TIME WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY CAN NEVER RE CREATE THE ISSUE. NOW WE ARE RECEIVING THIS WARNING AND IT ACTUALLY STOPS ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN. IT IS HAPPENING MORE AND MORE. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER SINCE THIS WARNING NOW CAME ON AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF IT, THEY COULDN'T RE CREATE IT, THAT IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SHIFTING AND TO TURN OFF OUR PARK ASSIST SYSTEM SO IT DOESN'T HAPPEN. WE ARE ATTEMPTING A DIFFERENT DEALER TODAY BUT FIRST THING THEY SAID IS THEY NEVER HEAR OF THIS EITHER. SO COMFORTING! *KB

WHILE DRIVING THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO SHIFT PAST 2ND GEAR. THE COOLING FAN PROCEEDED TO REMAIN STUCK ON HIGH. TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN BACK ON AND IT BEGAN TO RUN FINE. WHEN TURNED OFF AGAIN IT WAS AGAIN STUCK IN 2ND GEAR AND THE COOLING FAN PROCEEDED TO REMAIN STUCK ON HIGH. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM THOUGH THEY CLAIM THE PCM NEEDS UPDATED AGAIN(WAS JUST UPDATED 1.5 YRS AGO AND WE PAID) AND NEEDS A SHIFT CONTROL MODULE? WE HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER 6 TIMES SINCE PURCHASED NEW FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH REPROGRAMMING AND NOT SHIFTING CORRECTLY. WHY IS THIS VEHICLE NOT ON THE RECALL LIST LIKE THE 2006 PCM COMMANDER ISSUE? *TR

THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE BEING DRIVEN THE FIRST TIME THE SAME MONTH IT WAS PURCHASED. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM WHO SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND A CODE AND SENT IT BACK TO ME.

I HAVE A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER AND IT IS LESS THAN FOUR YEARS OLD AND I HAVE HAD THE STARTER REPLACED 4 TIMES. JEEP CAN'T EXPLAIN WHY THEY CAN'T FULLY FIX THE PROBLEM AND THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THE COMMANDERS AT LARGE AND NOT MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE. IN ADDITION TO HAVING HAD THE STARTER REPLACED 4 TIMES, I HAVE ALSO HAD THE ELECTRONIC SHIFTING MODULE REPLACED AS WELL AND THE CRANKSHAFT. MY COMMANDER HAS LESS THAN 40,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED SINCE I PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW. JEEP HAS FAILED TO ADDRESS MY CONCERNS AND REFUSES TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR SELLING ME A VEHICLE. JEEP SUGGESTED I PURCHASE A NEW VEHICLE AND I FIND THIS PREPOSTEROUS DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE CAR IS LESS THAN FOUR YEARS OLD. THE COMMANDER IS CLEARLY DEFECTIVE AND JEEP NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT. INSTEAD, JEEP REFUSES TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY AND THEY DECIDED TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM BY HALTING PRODUCTION. *TT
