2007 JEEP COMMANDER Complaints

WHEN I BOUGHT MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER 2 YEARS AGO, A PROBLEM OCCURRED 2 MONTHS AFTER BUYING THE CAR, WHERE IT WOULD SLOW DOWN WHEN I WAS DRIVING AT A FAST SPEED. THIS ONLY OCCURRED ONCE, SO I LET IT SLIDE; HOWEVER, THIS RECENTLY STARTED BECOMING A FREQUENT PROBLEM. THERE ARE EVEN MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN THE ENGINE JUST COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR ME AND MY KIDS' SAFETY. THERE WAS EVEN A TIME WHEN A CAR ALMOST CRASHED INTO ME BECAUSE THE STOP WAS SO SUDDEN. THE PROBLEM RANGES FROM MY CAR JUST SLOWING DOWN AUTOMATICALLY TO COMPLETELY SHUTTING OFF. THE ENGINE ALSO STARTS SHAKING WHICH ENDS UP SHAKING MY ENTIRE CAR. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS IS HAPPENING, BUT I DO KNOW THAT IT IS NOT SAFE. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM 1 YEAR AGO, BUT THEY ONLY TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD NOT WORRY. I THEN RECENTLY RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN WHEN I NOTICED THE PROBLEM WAS BECOMING GRADUALLY WORSE, AND THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME 1000 DOLLARS FOR DAMAGES THAT THEY WERE NOT EVEN SURE ABOUT. I DID NOT FIND THIS TO BE JUST BECAUSE I WAS NOT GOING TO PAY THAT AMOUNT OF MONEY FOR SOMETHING THAT IS NOT MY FAULT. I RESEARCHED ONLINE THAT THE FEDS ARE ACTUALLY INVOLVED WITH ENGINE STALL PROBLEMS FOR JEEP COMMANDERS BECAUSE MORE THAN 135,000 PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINT AS I DO. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. SO FAR, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY SIGNIFICANT HELP. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER OVERLAND WITH A 5.7L V8 HEMI MOTOR WITH 35,000 MILES ON IT. I AM EXPERIENCING STALLING WITH MY VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE HAS STALLED THREE TIMES NOW - ONCE AT A STOP LIGHT, ONCE WHILE IDLING IN A PARKING LOT, AND ONCE WHILE DRIVING (AROUND 10 -15 MPH). I SPOKE WITH CHRYSLER AND THEY BLEW ME OFF. I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND AM FEARFUL THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AT A HIGH SPEED OR SOMEWHERE WHERE THIS STALLING WILL RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. WHILE SEARCHING THE INTERNET AND VARIOUS FORUMS, I FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS STALLING ISSUE. WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS IF CHRYSLER DENIES THE PROBLEM AND INSISTS THEY "CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG" WITH THE VEHICLE? IT CAN'T BE A 'FLUKE' IF THOUSANDS OF JEEP COMMANDER DRIVERS ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE! *TR

I HAVE A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. I LIVE IN VIRGINIA. THE TEMPERATURE HAS BEEN IN THE 30'S. WITH NO APPARENT CAUSE (NO ROCK HITTING OR ANYTHING), MY WINDSHIELD STARTED WITH A TINY HAIRLINE CRACK (BOTTOM MIDDLE) AND IN A COUPLE DAYS, THE CRACKED LINE BECAME "L-SHAPED" AND MOVING LEFT. IT WAS ABOUT 8 INCHES IN LENGTH. I BELIEVE THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW IN THE WINDSHIELD SINCE NOTHING HAPPENED OTHER THAN THE COLD TEMPERATURE AND MY PERHAPS MY USE OF THE VEHICLE'S DEFROST. *TR

I OWN AT 2007 JEEP COMMANDER WITH 33,000 MILES ON IT. I WAS DRIVING 55 ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY WHEN MY JEEP COMMANDER JUST TURNED OFF. I HAD NO ACCELERATION OR POWER BRAKES. I WAS LUCKY TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT HITTING ANYONE. I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T REPRODUCE THE ISSUE AND THERE WAS NO CODE SO THEY COULDN'T IDENTIFY WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. I AM SUPPOSE TO CALL THEM IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN.. *TR

IN AUGUST 2009 A TRUCK DROPPED A ROCK FROM ITS LOAD A BROKE (CRACKED) MY WINDSHIELD ON MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. WE HAD THE WINDSHIELD REPLACED AND WITH IN WEEKS A CRACK APPEARED ON THE TOP OF DRIVER"S SIDE. THE WINDSHIELD WAS NOT STRUCK BY ANYTHING. THAT CRACKED WINDSHIELD WAS REPLACED AND IN NOVEMBER THAT WINDSHIELD CRACKED ON THE TOP SIDE OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE. AGAIN NOTHING STRUCK THE WINDSHIELD. ON DEC. 1, 2009 THIRD WINDSHIELD WAS INSTALLED. LATE IN DECEMBER, 2009 THAT WINDSHIELD DEVELOPED A CRACK ON THE BOTTOM OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE. AGAIN NOTHING STRUCK THE WINDSHIELD TO CAUSE THE CRACK. THE AUTO GLASS COMPANY STATES THAT THIS IS UNUSUAL BUT NOTHING THEY ARE DOING DURING THE INSTALLATION WOULD CAUSE THIS PROBLEM TO OCCUR THREE CONSECUTIVE TIMES. WE DROVE THE CAR FOR TWO YEARS, 2007 TO 2009 WITHOUT PROBLEMS WITH THE WINDSHIELD. ONLY AFTER A REPLACEMENT WAS INSTALLED DID THE CRACKS START APPEARING. THE CRACKS IN THE REPLACEMENT WINDOWS ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DO CAUSE VISIBILITY AND SAFETY ISSUES. *TR

2007 JEEP COMMANDER WITH V6 ENGINE. CAR HAS STALLED IN TRAFFIC NUMEROUS TIMES, AND HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY. IT IS NOW AT THE DEALER FOR THE 4TH OR 5TH TIME FOR STALLING. EACH TIME, THEY CLAIM SOMETHING DIFFERENT WAS THE ROOT CAUSE. I AM CONVINCED THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, THEREFORE THEY CANNOT POSSIBLY FIX IT. *TR

PURCHASE A USED 2007 JEEP COMMANDER ON NOV 2007 FROM DEALERSHIP. TWO YEARS IN POSSESSION. THE JEEP COMMANDER, GEARS WILL ALL LIGHT UP AND STALL AT 30 RPM FOR TWO IN HALF MONTHS FREQUENTLY. WITHOUT THE DEALERSHIP ABLE TO ESTABLISH CAUSE, I HAD TO WAIT FOR THE ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON. ON DECEMBER 11. 2009, DURING THE LAST TWO DAYS, SIMULTANEOUS THE GEARS WILL LIGHT UP WHILE, THE SPEEDOMETER BECAME IRREGULAR CAUSING ME TO RESTART THE JEEP CONSISTENTLY TO RESET IT. FINALLY, THE DASHBOARD ENGINE LIGHTS UP AND I TURN IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP ON DECEMBER 12, 2009 THE NEXT MORNING. ACCORDING, TO DEALERSHIP LOCATED IN HAMPTON, VA. THE PROBLEM IS CONCLUDED AS THE SHIFTER, NOT COVER BY THE 4 STAR WARRANTY HOWEVER, AFTER RESEARCHING YOUR DATABASE, I FOUND SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THE POWER TRAIN AND TRANSMISSION SOFTWARE MODULE. THE JEEP IS NOW LOCATED AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR HOWEVER, A MAJOR PROBLEM AFTER 2 YEARS AND 40,000 MILES IN SERVICE SHOULD NOT BE THE CAUSE OF WARE AND TEAR. *TR

ERIE, PA 11/3/08 SEARCH UNDER RUMSEY, JOANN THE NEWSPAPERS DESCRIBE IT ALL AND PICTURES SPEAK A THOUSAND WORDS. THIS 2007 JEEP COMMANDER CRASHED BY STALLING AT A HIGH SPEED CLAIMING THE LIVES OF A YOUNG WOMAN 40 YEARS OLD AND HER 2 CHILDREN WHO WERE 4 YRS OLD AND 18 MONTHS OLD. PLEASE SEARCH AND REVIEW THIS INCIDENT BEFORE SELECTING TO PUT YOUR FAMILY IN A BRAND NEW JEEP VEHICLE. A 5 STAR CRASH RATING WILL NOT DO MUCH GOOD IF THE VEHICLE STALLS AT A HIGH SPEED AND THE DRIVER IS UNABLE TO CONTROL SUCH VEHICLE. PLEASE, IF YOU HAVE A FAMILY REVIEW THIS BEFORE PURCHASING A JEEP PRODUCT. *TR
