2007 JEEP COMMANDER Complaints

WHEN MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER IS IN DRIVE THE VEHICLE WILL STALL AND SPUTTER OR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. VEHICLE SPEED VARIES BETWEEN 5 AND 60 MILES PER HOUR WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURS. THE PROBLEM STARTED IN OCTOBER 2009 VEHICLE SPEED AT THAT TIME WAS 5MPH. SINCE THEN THE SPEED WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURS HAS INCREASED AND THE LAST TIME (JANUARY 2010) I WAS DRIVING AT 55 MPH THE VEHICLE ENGINE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF, NO POWER WAS VISIBLE ON ANY CONTROL I.E. DASHBOARD LIGHTS, RADIO, ETC AND I LOST STEERING POWER. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE COAST OFF INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE STOP THE VEHICLE MOVE IT TO PARK AND RESTART. THE PROBLEM OCCURS RANDOMLY AND WITH NO APPARENT WARNING. WHEN IT CUTS OFF I LOSE POWER STEERING AND HAVE HAD SEVERAL NEAR ACCIDENTS WITH CARS TRAVELING BEHIND ME. WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLS AND SPUTTERS BUT DOES NOT LOSE ALL POWER IT MAY THEN SURGE FORWARD WHEN THE POWER RECONNECTS. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE AT MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP BUT THEY CAN NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM. *TR

TRANSMISSION STALLING WHILE DRIVING- ACCORDING THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND IS ALSO A NOTED PROBLEM IN THESE VEHICLES. THIS SAME VEHICLE HAS ALREADY BEEN RECALLED FOR SIMILAR ISSUE, BUT ONLY FOR THE BIGGER ENGINE SIZE. CHRYSLER HAS INFORMED ME THAT THEY WILL NOT INVESTIGATE EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM IN A DIFFERENT ENGINE SIZE. THE VEHICLE CAN BE TRAVELING AT 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE AND STALL WITHOUT WARNING. IT WILL NOT GO ANY FURTHER WITHOUT STOPPING, TURNING OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTING. THIS HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES DAILY. I HAVE TRIED TO GET FIXED AND WORK WITH THE PROBLEM, BUT AFTER ALMOST BEING REARENDED BY AN 18WHEELER ON THE INTERSTATE TODAY, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. IT IS FOR 2007 JEEP COMMANDER 3.7LT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER PURCHASED BRAND NEW. SHE STATED WHILE TRAVELING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS OF ANYWHERE OVER 10MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HER LOCAL DEALER WHERE THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE DEALER STATED DUE TO THE COLD TEMPERATURES, THE VEHICLE COMPUTER WOULD ERASE THE DIAGNOSTIC CODES THAT WERE NEEDED IN ORDER FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS LEFT WITH THE DEALER BECAUSE THE CONTACT DID NOT FEEL IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. THERE WERE NO REPAIRS MADE TO THE VEHICLE AND THERE WERE NO RECALLS. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 30,000.

MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER HAS STALLED NUMEROUS TIMES IN 55 MPH TRAFFIC THAT I TRAVEL IN DAILY TO WORK. THE DATE BELOW IS MOST RECENT. IT IS AS IF ALL OF A SUDDEN IT IS NOT GETTING FUEL AD WILL NOT RESPOND TO THE THROTTLE. I HAVE HAD IT INTO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND OF COURSE THEY CANNOT REPEAT THE INCIDENT. I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER POSTINGS FROM COMMANDER OWNERS ON INTERNET BULLETIN BOARDS WITH THE SAME ISSUES. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR A VEHICLE TO REPEATEDLY STALL LIKE THAT IN TRAFFIC. PLEASE DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED. *TR
