2007 JEEP COMMANDER Complaints

FABRIC IS DEFECTIVE. SEATS STAIN BY JUST PLAIN WATER. LOOKS DISGUSTING AND MANUFACTURER WONT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THEY SAY I HAVE TO BRING IN AND HAVE IT SHAMPOOED. I'VE DONE THAT AND IT DOESN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY SAY SINCE THERE ARE NO RECALLS THEY CAN'T REPLACE FABRIC UNTIL THERE IS A RECALL ISSUED BY NHTSA. I THOUGHT MY CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THERE ARE TONS OF COMPLAINTS BY OTHER JEEP OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. WE ARE ALL BEING TOLD THERE IS NO PROBLEM. *TR

WE WERE ON OUR WAY OUT AND ON THE ROAD AND THE STEERING WHEEL DID NOT WANT TO MOVE. IT DID NOT WANT TO TURN RIGHT OR LEFT. IT WOULD JUST GO STRAIGHT. WE ACTUALLY ALMOST LANDED IN THE DITCH AS WELL AS ALMOST HITTING A TRUCK. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY DEFECT. OUR JEEP COMMANDER IS BRAND NEW AND ONLY HAS 700 OR SO MILES ON IT. WE HAD PURCHASED IT LESS THAN 3 MONTHS AGO. SO, OUR VEHICLE HAS BEEN OUT OF COMMISSION SINCE DEC. 2ND, 2007. I DID CALL OUR DEALER FROM WHICH WE PURCHASED IT FROM, SINCE THEY ARE LOCATED IN WA AND WE LIVE IN AK. THEY ARE AWARE OF THE SITUATION. I ALSO CALLED THE JEEP CORPORATION AND THEY ARE AWARE AS WELL. I DID CALL OUR LOCAL JEEP DEALER AND SCHEDULED AN APPT. THEIR EARLIEST APPT IS DEC. 17TH, 2007. THIS INCIDENT COULD HAVE COST US OUR LIVES. *TR

VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 3,000 MILES ON IT AND ALREADY HAVE A ROCK CHIP IN FRONT WINDSHIELD. HAPPENED WHEN ROADS WERE CLEAR AND NO GRAVEL ON ROAD. HAVE SEEN MESSAGE BOARDS OF OTHER OWNERS WHO STATE THEIR FRONT WINDSHIELDS ARE PRONE TO CHIPS AS WELL. *TR

ON APPROXIMATELY 6 OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER, THE VEHICLE HAS UNEXPECTEDLY JUST SHUT OFF COMPLETELY, STEERING WHEEL LOCKS SO YOU CAN'T STEER AND IT IS VERY SCARY. ESPECIALLY SINCE I HAVE A 4 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WHO WAS RIDING WITH ME ON ONE OCCASION. I AM NOW READING ONLINE OF MANY PEOPLE WITH THIS CAR WHO HAVE THE SAME EXPERIENCE. THE DEALER TOLD ME THEY REPROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER, BUT I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE MY NEW CAR. DEALER ALSO INDICATED THEY ARE NOT GETTING A LOT OF COOPERATION FROM THE MANUFACTURER ON THIS ONE (AS INTERNET ENTRIES FROM OTHERS INDICATE AS WELL). THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. IT ALSO HAPPENED TO ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON I-75 AT ABOUT 70 MPH. AGAIN, THE WHOLE CAR SHUTS OFF AND YOU CAN'T STEER. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. *TR

ENGINE STALL WHILE DRIVING AT 45MPH. I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO GRASS AND RESTART. SYSTEM SEEMED TO RESET BY TURNING KEY OFF, THEN BACK ON. NOTHING UNIQUE ABOUT DAY, SUNNY AND 65 AT 3PM EST. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER WHICH I PURCHASED NEW. I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR A YEAR AND HAVE 33,000. THE TRUCK HAS STALLED AT LEAST 5 TIMES. THERE'S NO WARNING AND IT JUST SHUTS OFF! I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THEY HAVE NOTHING IN THEIR DATA BASE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THAT'S POSSIBLE CONSIDERING ALL OF THESE E-MAILS. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME AND BEING A GIRL I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT. BOTTOM LINE, I HAVE A CAR THEY CAN'T FIX AND I DON'T WANT TO DRIVE!! *TR

ENGINE STALLED WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH. TURNED THE KEY TO OFF AND RESTARTED. 2007 JEEP COMMANDER LIMITED WITH 5.7 HEMI MDS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATE SPEEDS OF 30-40 MPH, OUR 2007 JEEP COMMANDER SUDDENLY LOST POWER, SHUTTING DOWN THE ENGINE AND POWER STEERING. WE WERE ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE, TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART. THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN APPROX. 25 MINUTES LATER. I AM 4 1/2 MONTHS PREGNANT WITH TWINS AND NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR. WE KNOW OF AT LEAST THREE OTHER JEEP OWNERS WHO REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45MPH, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN. THE WEATHER WAS NOT A FACTOR. THE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES FAILED. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AFTER ONE MINUTE. THE DEALER HAS NOT DIAGNOSED THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 2,143.

I JUST LEASED A 2007 JEEP CHEROKEE IN MARCH OF '07. AND, IT DRIVES WONDERFULLY! HOWEVER, I'VE NOTICED A FEW (GLITCHES) CONCERNS LATELY WITH THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE MAJOR LEAKS IN MY SIDE RAILS RIGHT ABOVE THE DASHBOARD WHEN IT RAINS. I BELIEVE THIS IS BECAUSE OF HOW THE INSULATION WAS DONE ON THE ACTUAL ROOF AS WELL AS THE DOORS. I'VE ALSO NOTICED MY PASSENGER WINDOW STICKING WHILE LOWERING THE WINDOW OR RAISING THE WINDOW. AND, MY WINDSHIELD SEEMS TO BE GLISTENING NOW -- I'M THINKING THAT THOSE GLISTENING SMALL CRACKS WILL TRULY TURN INTO MAJOR PROBLEMS LONG-TERM! I AM CURRENTLY LEASING AND WAS SERIOUSLY DECIDING TO PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE. BUT, WITH MY CONCERNS LISTED I'M NOT SURE HOW LONG THIS JEEP COMMANDER WILL LAST ME FINANCIALLY. HOPEFULLY THESE PROBLEMS WILL BE RECALLED AND MAYBE MY DECISION TO PURCHASE WILL CHANGE. I'M SURE THAT THESE PROBLEMS ARE NOT JUST AFFECTING ME. WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS. HOPEFULLY YOU CAN HELP! HAVE A NICE DAY!! *TR
