2007 JEEP COMMANDER Complaints

2007 JEEP COMMANDER SEAT BELTS HAVE BROKEN 5 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 YEARS. PURCHASED VEHICLE USE; SO IT DOES NOT FALL UNDER LEMON LAWS UNFORTUNATELY. *TR

MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER LIMITED 4X4 HAS STALLED OUT ON FIVE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. IN ALL OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING. AFTER STALLING OUT THE VEHICLE'S POWER BRAKES AND POWER STEERING DID NOT WORK. ALSO, THE FIRST TIME IT STALLED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD A DIAGNOSTICIAN CHECK THE CODE AND IT WAS "BAROMETRIC PRESSURE TOO LOW". HE RESET THE CODE AND THE LIGHT HAS NOT COME BACK ON. MY WARRANTY IS UP AND I HOPE CHRYSLER CAN FIX THIS FOR FREE. I FEEL THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE UNTIL THIS IS FIXED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY STALLS WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WARNINGS. USUALLY AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS HE WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE TO RESUME NORMAL VEHICLE OPERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING INSPECTED BY THE DEALER TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 38,800.

WHEN THE CRUISE CONTROL IS ENGAGED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELING DOWN A HILL THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL PROPERLY DOWNSHIFT TO SLOW THE VEHICLE AND KEEP IT AT THE SET SPEED. IF THE VEHICLE IS THEN SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL, THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL DISENGAGE PROPERLY AND THE TRANSMISSION WILL GO INTO THE NEUTRAL GEAR, BUT WHEN SHIFTED BACK INTO DRIVE THE TRANSMISSION WILL RE-ENGAGE AND WILL SLOW THE VEHICLE EXTREMELY ABRUPTLY AS IF SOMEONE SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES WITH FULL FORCE AND WILL NEARLY LOCK-UP THE REAR WHEELS ON DRY PAVEMENT. THIS WILL OCCUR EVEN IF THE CRUISE CONTROL IS TURNED OFF BEFORE SHIFTING BACK INTO DRIVE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE BECAUSE OF THE PLACEMENT OF THE SHIFTER, AND IT WAS TERRIFYING BECAUSE OF THE SPEED I WAS TRAVELING AND THE ABRUPTNESS WITH WHICH THE VEHICLE SLOWED. IF ANYONE WOULD HAVE BEEN BEHIND ME I WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO MAKE THE TRANSMISSION NOT DO THAT ONCE THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL. THE VEHICLE WOULD BECOME COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTROL IF DRIVING ON ANYTHING BUT TOTALLY DRY PAVEMENT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDEER. WHILE DRIVING ABOVE 30 MPH THE VEHICLE BEGAN SHAKING AND SHUT OFF. HE WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT CONTROL PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, AND THE IGNITION CONTROL SWITCH WAS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. THE FAILURE RECURRED AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND THE TECHNICIANS ADVISED HIM THAT THE VEHICLE SHOULD NOT BE BROUGHT IN FOR INSPECTION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 27993.

I VISITED A DEALERSHIP TO DIAGNOSE WHY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON IN MY VEHICLE, AS WELL AS TO DIAGNOSE WHY IT WAS LOSING ACCELERATION WHEN APPROACHING HIGHWAY SPEED. AFTER ABOUT HALF AN HOUR, I WAS ADVISED BY THE SERVICE ADVISOR, THAT, 'THEY HAVE BEEN SEEING A LOT OF THIS' AND THE CAUSE WAS THE GEAR SHIFTER CONSOLE WHICH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. SHE FOLLOWED THIS BY STATING THE REPLACEMENT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND PROVIDED ME WITH THE ESTIMATED COST. PERPLEXED, I INQUIRED AS TO WHETHER THE CAUSE WAS DUE TO WEAR AND TEAR AND COULD THIS HAVE BEEN PREVENTED THROUGH SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE. MS. HAWKINS RESPONSE WAS 'NO'. FURTHER CONFUSED, I INQUIRED AS TO WHY WOULD THE REPLACEMENT THEN BE THE CONSUMER'S RESPONSIBILITY, AS IT WOULD APPEAR TO ME TO HAVE BEEN A MANUFACTURING MALFUNCTION. THE REP'S RESPONSE WAS MERELY THE SAME, THE SERVICES ARE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND IF NOT REPLACED THE VEHICLE COULD GET LOCKED IN THE PARKED POSITION WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THUS I WAS FORCED TO COMPLY PAYING MORE THAN $600 IN REPAIRS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL WITHOUT WARNING AND LOSE TOTAL POWER WHILE IN TRANSIT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT REPAIR WHAT THEY COULD NOT SEE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY STILL COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE THIRD TIME THE FAILURE OCCURRED, THE DEALER REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION SOFTWARE AS WELL AS THE TRANSMISSION MODULE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FAILURE WOULD NOT RECUR; HOWEVER, IT CONTINUED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS WORSE AFTER THE THIRD REPAIR BECAUSE THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO JERK VIOLENTLY. THE FAILURE STILL PERSISTS. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE LESS THAN 52,000.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR CONTINUES TO GO OFF FOR NO REASON. CHECK ALL TIRES AND THEY ARE INFLATED PROPERLY AT 35 PSI (SPARE TOO). THE JEEP COMMANDER HAS BEEN IN 8 TIMES TO TWO DEALERS WITH NO AVAIL. THEY REPLACED THE RECEIVER MODULE AND 2 SENSORS (OR AT LEAST THEY TOLD ME THEY DID) AND STILL CONTINUE TO GET TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR WARNING ON THE DASH OF THE JEEP. ISSUE OCCURS SPORADICALLY, BUT MAINLY ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING 70 MPH. INCIDENT DATE IS INACCURATE AS SELECTED BELOW AS THIS HAS HAPPEN NUMEROUS TIMES OF THE PAST YEAR/YEAR AND HALF. *TR

MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER STALLED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. I PUSHED THE BRAKE AND WITHIN SECONDS, THE CAR STOPPED OPERATING. PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR DID NOTHING. I TURNED THE CAR OFF, TURNED IT BACK ON, AND WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING. *TR

FRONT SEAT BELT RETRACTION IS INSUFFICIENT CAUSING SEAT BELTS TO BE CAUGHT BETWEEN DOOR LOCK MECHANISM WHEN CLOSING DOOR WHEN EXITING VEHICLE DAMAGING SEAT BELT WEBBING. DOOR WILL NOT PROPERLY CLOSE OR LOCK AND VEHICLE MAY BE AT RISK FOR THEFT. *TR
