TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. THE VEHICLE BEGAN SHAKING AND STALLED WHEN ENGAGING THE BRAKE PEDAL. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS BEFORE THE SHAKING AND STALLING OCCURRED. ON TWO OCCASIONS THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE FAILURE AND THE SECOND TIME THEY UPDATED THE COMPUTER. TWENTY MINUTES AFTER LEAVING THE DEALER THE SHAKING AND RATTLING RECURRED AND HAS CONTINUED TO BECOME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. THE DEALER CANNOT DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,200. UPDATED 5/14/09 *CN THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN HIS FOOT WAS ON THE ACCELERATOR, IT JAMMED TO THE FLOOR.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. ON A SEPARATE OCCASION, WHILE DRIVING LESS THAN 15 MPH, THE DRIVER ATTEMPTED TO PULL INTO A PARKING SPACE AND ALL OF THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS FAILED. HE WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, BUT ONCE IT WAS PLACED INTO REVERSE, THE FAILURE RECURRED. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER, BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURES. THE DEALER SUGGESTED NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND STATED THAT THE FAILURES MAY HAVE BEEN RELATED TO GROUNDING IN THE WIRING SYSTEM. NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE TO DATE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE LESS THAN 38,000.

IT HAPPENED SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING MY NEW 2007 JEEP COMMANDER, IT WOULD GIVE A HESITATION WHILE SITTING AT STOP LIGHT OR WHILE IN PARK LIKE IT WAS ABOUT TO DIE, IT WOULD ALSO REV UP THE ENGINE LIKE IT WAS ACCELERATING, WE TOOK IT IN A FEW MONTHS AFTER WE BOUGHT IT, THEY SAID THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG AND DID NOTHING AT THAT TIME, IT CONTINUED TO DO IT, BUT WE JUST PUT UP WITH IT BECAUSE WE FIGURED WE'D HEAR THE SAME THING, (IT DON'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME WE DRIVE IT, JUST PERIODICALLY) SO NOW, IT'S DOING IT MORE INTENSELY, IT'S AS IF SOMEONE IS MASHING ON THE GAS PEDAL WHILE IN PARK AND ALSO AT STOP LIGHTS WHILE I HAVE MY FOOT ON BRAKES, ONCE IT HAS JUMPED FORWARD AND I THOUGHT I WOULD HIT THE CAR AHEAD OF ME. I TOOK IT IN AGAIN,THEY RESET THE COMPUTER, AND SINCE, IT HAS DONE IT AGAIN A COUPLE DAYS AFTER GETTING IT OUT. I WILL CALL THEM BACK, BUT LOOKING AT THE COMPLAINTS ONLINE,IT SHOWS ME SOMETHING IS TERRIBLE WRONG WITH JEEPS UNINTENTIONALLY ACCELERATING, PLEASE HELP, I DON'T WANT TO CAUSE A ACCIDENT OR HURT MYSELF OR ANYONE ELSE. I SAVED RECEIPTS FROM THE DEALERSHIP OVER THIS PROBLEM,PLEASE EXAMINE ALL OUR COMPLAINTS, NOT EVERYONE KNOWS HOW TO SUBMIT COMPLAINTS TO THIS AGENCY, JUST LOOK ONLINE OR PERHAPS CHECK EVERY SINGLE DEALERSHIP, THANK YOU *TR

THIS IS MY 2ND COMPLAINT TO YOU GUYS ABOUT THIS FRIGHTENING AND DANGEROUS ISSUE OF MY JEEP COMMANDER ENGINE STALLING PROBLEMS. I ALMOST HAD ANOTHER ACCIDENT BY DRIVING 35 MPH AND THE ENGINE JUST STALLS, POWER AND LIGHTING FLASHES ON AND OFF, THEN FAILS. NO POWER OVER THE CAR AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP! THE CAR BEHIND ME HAD TO VEER SHARPLY TO KEEP FROM RUNNING INTO THE BACK OF ME. IT WAS AN UNEXPECTED STALL FOR OTHER VEHICLES AS WELL AS MYSELF. I HAVE TRIED TO GET HELP, BUT TO NO AVAIL. I AM SCARED TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS DANGEROUS AUTO AND NEED SOME HELP EITHER REPLACING IT OR JEEP TO TAKE IT BACK! ALSO, IT STILL JERKS FORWARD, (WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE!) WHILE I'M SITTING AT A LIGHT, ALMOST HITTING THE PEDESTRIANS WALKING IN THE CROSSWALK IN FRONT OF ME. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET WITH VERY SIMILAR AND LIKE COMPLAINTS AND NO ONE IS DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I GUESS THEY'RE WAITING FOR A TRAGEDY, INSTEAD OF TRYING TO PREVENT ONE. PLEASE ADVISE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 20-50 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOSES COMPLETE POWER WITHOUT WARNING. WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE IS UNRESPONSIVE. ON ONE OCCASION, THE ENGINE LOST POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION AND THEN LUNGED FORWARD SECONDS LATER. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE, BUT THE VEHICLE LUNGED TWICE BEFORE RESPONDING. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THIS FAILURE. THE CONTACT HAS AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE VEHICLE INSPECTED ON MARCH 9, 2009. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,800.

I OWN A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING IT, I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY THAT RUNS THROUGH MY TOWN AT ABOUT 40 MPH AND THE VEHICLE STALLED OUT. I TRIED TO GIVE IT SOME GAS TO GO BUT I KEPT DECELERATING. I SHIFTED MY GEAR SHIFT TO PARK, SHUT IT OFF AND RESTARTED MY CAR AND IT WENT BACK TO RUNNING NORMALLY FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. IT HAPPENED 4 MORE TIMES BEFORE I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A COMPUTER ERROR AND THEY CORRECTED IT. TWO WEEKS LATER, I LEFT MY DRIVEWAY AND WAS HEADING DOWN MY STREET AND MY CAR STARTED BUCKING UNCONTROLLABLY. I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND WAITED A FEW SECONDS BEFORE SHIFTING BACK TO DRIVE. I CAME TO A STOP SIGN A FEW BLOCKS LATER AND MY JEEP STALLED OUT AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 4 OR 5 TIMES SINCE I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. I'M AFRAID THAT THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE FOR ME OR MY FAMILY AND I AM STARTING TO REGRET THIS PURCHASE. *TR

2007 JEEP COMMANDER WINDSHIELDS ARE FLAWED, AND CRACK EASILY. SPREADING ACROSS THE WHOLE WINDSHIELD. I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE WINDSHIELD REPLACED ONCE SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED IT IN APRIL 08, AND 1/2 YEAR LATER BOTH SIDES HAVE CRACKS IN IT. I BELIEVE THE DESIGN OR CURVE MAY BE TOO 'FRAGILE' FOR SAFETY, NOT TO MENTION MY BUDGET! *TR

I HAVE A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. IT HAS BEEN STALLING (BUT NOT CUTTING OFF COMPLETELY) FOR SOMETIME. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 28 2009 IT BEGAN TO STALL AND CUT OFF. IT WOULD ALSO REV UP TO ABOUT 3000 RPMS WHILE SITTING STILL. WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT ON THE SAME DAY IT DID THE SAME AND LUNGED FORWARD AT THE SAME TIME (WITH MY FOOT ON THE BREAK). LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ONE COMING THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. IT HAS BEEN AT A CERTIFIED JEEP DEALERSHIP TWICE IN THE LAST WEEK, THIS TIME FOR THREE DAYS - SO FAR! I AM BEING TOLD THAT THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG. A VEHICLE CUTTING OFF IN TRAFFIC AND GOING FORWARD ON ITS OWN SEEMS TO ME TO BE A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN DECEMBER 2007. WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE BEYOND 30 MPH. AFTER SHUTTING THE VEHICLE OFF IT RESET ITSELF AND BEGAN TO DRIVE NORMALLY. ON ONE OCCASION, WHILE TRAVELING AT SPEEDS OF LESS THAN 65 MPH THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CONTACT WAS ONLY ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE BY USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. IT WAS ALSO DIFFICULT TO USE THE STEERING WHEEL; HOWEVER, IT RESET ITSELF AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE. THE VIN WAS PROVIDED BUT NOT RECOGNIZED WHEN IT WAS ENTERED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE LESS THAN 37,000.
