2007 JEEP COMMANDER Complaints

LIKE COUNTLESS OTHER OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE FORM YEARS 2006-2007, THE "TRANSMISSION OVER TEMPERATURE" LIGHT HAS BEEN GOING ON AND OFF FOR YEARS. I'VE SPEND OVER $1500 ON REPAIR FOR ALL THINGS SURROUNDING THE TRANSMISSION, ONLY FOR THE LIGHT TO CONTINUE TO COME ON. SOME PEOPLE HAVE EVEN NOTED THAT THEY WERE STRANDED FOR HOURS DUE TO THIS - IT'S OBVIOUSLY NOT JUST ONE PERSON'S EXPERIENCE WITH THE CAR, AND A QUICK GLANCE ONLINE WILL SHOW THE DEPTHS OF ISSUES PEOPLE ARE HAVING WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND THE LIGHT ON THIS VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE HESITATED WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND STALLED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAITED APPROXIMATELY TEN MINUTES AND THE VEHICLE RESTARTED NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (ZIMMERMAN MOTORS, 1301 MARKET STREET, SUNBURY, PA 17801), BUT THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN FOR THE PAST FOUR MONTHS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THREE INDEPENDENT MECHANICS, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 128,000.

2007 JEEP COMMANDER, THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND WHEN I CAME TO TURN IT ON, THE IGNITION SWITCH TURNS BUT THE ENGINE DOES NOT TURN ON. I HAD A RECALL LETTER ABOUT THIS ISSUE A COUPLE YEARS AGO AND HAD IT REPLACED AT THE DEALERSHIP. HOWEVER, IT SEEMS LIKE THIS ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. PLEASE SOLVE IT, AS THIS CAUSES A LOT OF PROBLEMS AND FRUSTRATION TO CHRYSLER'S CUSTOMERS.

INTERMITTENT STARTING ISSUE. THE JEEP WILL DRIVE FINE BUT ONCE YOU TURN IT OFF IT IS A COIN TOSS WHETHER IT WILL START AGAIN. I HAVE FOUND THAT IF YOU CRAWL UNDERNEATH THE JEEP AND PUSH IN ON THE YELLOW WIRE CONNECTED TO THE STARTER, IT WILL IMMEDIATELY START. IT IS OBVIOUSLY A POORLY DESIGNED CONNECTOR, AS IT IS OBVIOUSLY NOT WEATHER PROOF BUT IT IS IN AN AREA THAT NEEDS TO BE WATER TIGHT. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE ONLINE, BUT WHEN YOU CALL THE DEALERSHIPS THEY TELL YOU THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS ISSUE.

UPON HAVING THE IGNITION SWITCH SAFETY RECALL PERFORMED ON MY JEEP, I AM NOW PUTTING IN THE 5TH STARTER ON MY JEEP. SINCE THIS RECALL HAS BEEN DONE, I'M REPLACING STARTERS AS FREQUENTLY AS I AM DOING OILCHANGES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND STALLED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED DURING THE FAILURE. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 136,000.

VEHICLE SHUTTING OFF WHEN STALLING OR AT A STOP DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET WITH VEHICLES BEHIND ME. IDLEING HIGH WHEN TURNING ON OR DRIVING. JUST HAD SOME THING FIXED AND ISSUE STILL NOT RESOLVED SEEMS TO BE ECM/PCM POSSIBLY. SOME SORT OF WATER ENTRANCE UNSURE WHERE FROM HAD WINDSHIELD REINSTALLED AND I STILL GET PUDDLES ON MY DRIVER AND PASSENGER FEET. BACK SET BELTS KEEP BRAKING WAS TOLD THIS IS A DEFECT WHEN SEATS ARE LAYED DOWN SEAT BUCKLES BREAK AND NEED TO BE REPLACED WHICH IS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH MY CHILDREN SINCE I HAVE 4 AND NEED THESE TO BE FUNCTIONAL THEY HAVE BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES AND AM NOW TOLD IT'S A DEFECT.

SEATBELTS SOMETIMES DO NOT STAY BUCKLED IN THE BUCKLE WITHOUT FORCE. SEATBELTS GET STUCK ON THE ONES THAT DO BUCKLE WHEN PARKED OR ON. TWO MIDDLE ROW SEATBELTS FELL COMPLETELY OFF. ONE THIRD ROW SEATBELT DOES NOT BUCKLE AT ALL.ONE 3RD ROW SEATBELT GETS STUCK ON A DAILY BASIS IN THE BUCKLE WITH THE VEHICLE PARKED OR NOT PARKED AND THE BELT ALWAYS GETS STUCK IN THE BOOSTER SEATS WE HAVE TO COMPLETELY REMOVE THE BOOSTER SEATS EVERYTIME WE NEED TO REBUCKLE THE SEATS. THE ACTUAL BUCKLES FALL APART EASILY.

INSTRUMENTS LIGHTS OFF AND ON(BATTERY, CHECK ENGINE, AIR BAGS, BREAKS, ETC), TRANSMISSION OVERHEAT INFORMATION LIGHT, VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING OR WON'T START OR LOOSE POWER,COMPUTER TELLS MECHANICS A NEW MODULE NEEDED, BUT NEW MODULE DO NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. HAD TRANSMISSION SERVICES, AND MECHANIC CHECK OUT, BUT NOTHING WORKED.

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR WILL START TO HARD IDLE AND THEN SOMETIMES SHUT OFF AT RED LIGHTS OR STOP SIGNS ALSO ONE DRIVING IT ALL THE SUDDEN SHUT OFF AND I'LL LOSE ALL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND HAVE THE PULL THE E BREAK JUST TO STOP THE VEHICLE I'VE TAKEN IT TO AN AUTHORIZED JEEP DEALER OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS TO TRY AND FIX THE PROBLEM AND THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE FIND ANYTHING BUT I'M NOT THE ONLY 1 WITH THESE COMPLAINTS THERE ARE 1000'S OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS.
