2007 JEEP COMMANDER Complaints

AFTER IGNITION THE "SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM" WARNING COMES UP IN THE CONTROL PANEL, THEN THE REST OF THE WARNING LIGHTS TURN ON, THEN AFTER DRIVING NOTICED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WAS NOT WORKING, THEN THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL WHILE DRIVING, THE ACCELERATOR DOES NOT RESPOND, I WAS ABLE TO PARK ON THE SIDE OF THE STREET, LUCKILY IT WAS NOT A HEAVY TRAFFIC STREET. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS DURING RAINY WEATHER, RAIN WATER WOULD LEAK INTO THE VEHICLE ONTO THE DASHBOARD AND INTERIOR FLOOR. THE DEALER DRAINED THE WATER FROM THE VEHICLE DRAIN YET THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE CONTACT CONFIRMED THE FAILURE OCCURRED SINCE THE DATE OF PURCHASE. THERE WERE NO FURTHER REPAIRS MADE TO THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 27,000.

I OWN A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER SUV. I HAVE BEEN HAVING NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH IT STALLING WHILE I AM IN MOTION. IT ALSO STALLS SOMETIMES WHILE I AM AT A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. ANOTHER STRANGE OCCURRENCE IS THAT SOMETIMES I START IT AND ITS MOVING AND I AM STEPPING ON THE GAS AND IT JUST HAS NO POWER. IT GETS TO ABOUT 20 MPH AND I CAN STEP ALL THE WAY DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL AND NOTHING, IT HAS NO POWER. I PULL OVER SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND START IT AGAIN AND IT IS FINE UNTIL THE NEXT TIME. I HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM SINCE SEPTEMBER AND HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS OTHER MECHANICS AND I AM TOLD SOMETHING ABOUT A SENSOR SENSING THAT THERE IS A MALFUNCTION. THEY CANNOT HOWEVER FIX THE PROBLEM AND ACT LIKE THIS IS VERY STRANGE AND THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS COMPLAINT. I AM AFRAID THAT ONE OF THESE DAYS THIS WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND EITHER I OR MY CHILDREN OR SOMEONE ELSE WILL BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR EVEN WORSE, KILLED. *TR

DRIVING A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER LIMITED 4X4, WITH 5.7 LITRE HEMI ENGINE AT 30 MILES PER HOUR ALONG SIDE ROAD, ENGINE CUT OUT UNEXPECTEDLY NO WARNING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 6 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WITHIN THE PAST 6 MONTHS WITH NO CONSISTENCY RELATIVE TO SPEED, ROAD CONDITIONS, ETC. ON THE PREVIOUS 5 OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE CUT OUT FOR A FEW SECONDS, THEN RESTARTED ITSELF. ON THE LAST OCCASION, THE ENGINE CUT OUT COMPLETELY AND NEEDED TO BE GUIDED OFF THE ROAD. WHENEVER THIS OCCURS THE DRIVER LOSES ALL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE CREATING AN UNCONTROLLABLE AND DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR THE DRIVER AND OTHER MOTORISTS. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO PAUL BAILEY JEEP CHRYLSLER DODGE ON 2 OCCASIONS FOR AN ASSESSMENT AND REVIEW OF THE CODE SYSTEM. NEITHER VISIT GAVE ANY INDICATION AS TO WHAT WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. A REPORT HAS BEEN LODGED WITH CHRYSLER AND WE ARE AWAITING INFORMATION FROM THEIR CASE MANAGER. WE BELIEVE THIS TO BE A FATAL ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN AND NEED SOME DIRECTION AS TO THE RECOURSE OR ACTION WE MIGHT TAKE. *TR

2007 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4 LIMITED HEMI ENGINE STALLS OVER AND OVER AGAIN. DEALERSHIP TOOK 1 WEEK TO FIX, THEY REPLACED THE COMPUTER, GOT IT BACK AND IT CONTINUES TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, DID NOT EVEN GO A DAY WITHOUT THE PROBLEM RESURFACING. THEY CURRENTLY HAVE THE VEHICLE AND ARE TRYING TO FIX FOR A SECOND TIME. *TR

WE BOUGHT A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER V6 IN JULY/AUGUST OF '08 AND HAVE CONSTANTLY HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE ESM (ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE) DURING THE FIRST FEW VISITS THEY STATED THAT "PROBLEM COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED" AND THEY WOULD FLASH THE VEHICLES COMPUTER AND IT WOULD RUN FOR AWHILE THEN FINALLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND GOT THE VEHICLE IN AND FOUND IT WAS THE ESM WHICH WAS FINALLY REPLACED IN APR '09 AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO HAVE THEM FIX. SINCE IT WAS STILL UNDER THE 3YR/36K WARRANTY IT WAS AT NO COST. NOW IT HAS GONE OUT AGAIN LESS THAN A YEAR LATER AND OUR WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND JEEP STATES THAT THEIR PART WARRANTY (WHICH SHOULD BE 12MO/12K) EXPIRED ALONG WITH THE FACTORY WARRANTY AND WE ARE OUT OF LUCK. THE PART WAS REPLACED AS A "GOODWILL" GESTURE WHICH WAS TOLD TO ME BY A CUSTOMER SERVICE AGENT AND DOES NOT HAVE ANY PART WARRANTY. AS I WAS INVESTIGATING WHETHER OR NOT IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM I NOTICED THAT THE V8 MODELS OF THE COMMANDER HAD A RECALL FOR THE AUTO TRANSMISSIONS BUT THE V6 DOES NOT. IT WAS QUITE SCARY DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 70 THEN SUDDENLY LOSING POWER AND POWER STEERING ESPECIALLY WITH MY 2YR OLD AND 8YR OLD IN THE SUV. THE VEHICLE WOULD GO INTO "LIMP" MODE AND WOULDN'T SHIFT OUT OF 3RD GEAR AND GO FASTER THAN 25MPH, RPMS WOULDN'T RAISE PAST 3K, AND IT WOULD SHIFT HARD INTO GEAR. THE FACT THAT JEEP WILL NOT WARRANTY THAT PART AND ALL THE OTHER PROBLEMS I'VE READ FROM OTHER PEOPLE ON FORUMS, COMPLAINTS,ETC. ABOUT THIS SHOULD WARRANT A INVESTIGATION INTO THIS MATTER. *TR

MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER IS HAVING A PROBLEM WITH STALLING. THE CAR HAS STALLED ON ME TWICE SINCE I PURCHASED IT IN DECEMBER OF 2009. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING IT TO STALL, I EVEN TOOK IT TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN WHILE I AM DRIVING AND I AM UNABLE TO USE THE BRAKE OR THE GAS PEDAL. LUCKILY I WAS ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET BOTH TIMES WITH NO TRAFFIC AND WAS ABLE TO AVOID ANY OTHER VEHICLES, ALTHOUGH I DID COME CLOSE TO STRIKING A STOPPED VEHICLE. I AM CONCERNED WITH MY CHILDREN'S AND MY SAFETY WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. *TR

APPROXIMATELY, TWO MONTHS AGO, A VALVE STEM ON MY JEEP TIRE WAS CORRODED AND THE TIP CRACKED OFF, CAUSING THE SENSOR TO GO OFF ON THE DASH AND IT WAS NOT ABLE TO HAVE AIR PUT IN. I REPLACED THE VALVE STEM AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $80.00. JUST THIS PAST WEEK, THE SAME THING HAPPENED ON ANOTHER TIRE...THE TOP OF THE VALVE STEM CRACKED OFF AND I AM NOT ABLE TO PUT AIR IN THE TIRE. I'M SURE IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL THE SAME THING HAPPENS WITH THE OTHER VALVE STEMS ON THE OTHER TWO TIRES.

2007 JEEP COMMANDER, STARTED WITH "SERVICE PARK ASSIST" LIGHT COMING ON ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE, THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE THE PROBLEM SO THEY RESET THE SYSTEM. TWO DAYS LATER THE SAME THING BEGAN TO HAPPEN AGAIN, ALONG WITH THE LIGHTS AROUND THE P N R D ON THE DISPLAY COMING ON ALL TOGETHER, THE CAR ALSO THEN BEGAN TO NOT WANT TO ACCELERATE AFTER A CERTAIN POINT. ALMOST ACTING LIKE IT WAS NOT WANTING TO SHIFT TO THE NEXT GEAR. THIS HAPPENED FOR 8 MONTHS, STILL NO SERVICE WAS DONE BECAUSE THEY WERE UNABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM. IT BEGAN TO OCCUR WHILE DRIVING AND COMING TO A STOP AND STARTING TO GO FORWARD AGAIN. CAUSING PROBLEMS CROSSING INTERSECTIONS OR TRAFFIC. HAVE NOW BEEN TOLD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE, WHICH WE DID. THIS DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. IN THE LAST WEEK WERE TOLD TO REPLACE THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHENEVER THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING AND THE VEHICLE WAS IDLE, THE ENGINE RPMS WOULD INCREASE TO UNUSUALLY HIGH LEVELS. WHEN ENGAGING THE BRAKES, THE VEHICLE WOULD MOMENTARILY LUNGE FORWARD BEFORE COMING TO A STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED BY A DEALER NOR WAS THE MANUFACTURER CONTACTED TO REPORT THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 26,000.
