RIGHT TAIL LIGHT ON MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER KEEPS GOING OUT. DEALERSHIP SERVICE TOLD ME THAT THE TIPM SYSTEM KEPT BLOWING THE FUSE. I HAD REPLACED THE FUSE SEVERAL TIMES BUT THE TAIL LIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT. I HAVE ACTUALLY PULLED UP BEHIND OTHER COMMANDER AT RED LIGHTS AND NOTICED THAT THE SAME LIGHT WAS OUT ON THEIR VEHICLE AS WELL. YOU NEED TO LOOK INTO THIS. ONE DOESN'T EXPECT TO HAVE THE TAILLIGHT KEEP GOING OUT AFTER REPLACING BULBS AND FUSES. *TR

2007 JEEP COMMANDER LIMITED. 5.7L HEMI. VEHICLE HAS STALLED ABOUT HALF A DOZEN TIMES IN LAST TWO YEARS. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (+/- 65 MPH) AND WITH NO WARNING. ENGINE QUITS AND INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHT COME ON. I'VE (LUCKILY) BEEN ABLE TO PULL SAFELY OFF THE ROAD. WHEN I SHUT OFF THE IGNITION SWITCH AND WAIT A FEW SECONDS, I AM ABLE TO START IT BACK UP AND CONTINUE. I'VE BROUGHT THIS UP TO TWO SEPARATE JEEP DEALERS, AND THEY CLAIM THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO PERFORMED A MINOR TUNE UP; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. ONE MONTH PRIOR TO THE INITIAL FAILURE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL OCCASIONALLY. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 51,000.

2007 JEEP COMMANDER, 51,000 MILES, STALLS WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I WAS ABLE TO GUIDE VEHICLE TO SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RE-START THE ENGINE. THIS STALLING PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED ON TWO OCCASIONS NOW, ONCE WITH MY KIDS ON BOARD, A SCARY SITUATION TO SAY THE LEAST. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON A WEEK AFTER THE LAST INCIDENT AND DEALER BELIEVES THE PROBLEM IS A FAULTY ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE, WHICH THEY SAID IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. WHEN PRESSED ABOUT STALLING OF 2007 COMMANDERS, DEALER SAID THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS OR RECALL, YET REPLACEMENT OF THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM? BASED UPON THE SUBMISSIONS TO NHTSA REGARDING THIS PROBLEM, NHTSA NEEDS TO TAKE ACTION NOW. THE HISTORY OF REPORTS REGARDING 2007 COMMANDERS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED, I URGE THE NHTSA AND CHRYSLER DO THE RIGHT THING BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. *TR
