TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER'S SIDE SEAT BELTS ON THE THIRD ROW HAD FAILED.

I PURCHASED THE 2007 JEEP COMMANDER WITH THE 5.7 HEMI IN SPRING 2013 AND A FEW MONTHS LATER COMING TO A STOP IT JUST SHUT OFF. AT FIRST I THOUGHT MAYBE SOME WATER HAD GOTTEN INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT SINCE IT WAS RAINING AND SHORTED SOMETHING. STARTED BACK UP AND THOUGHT ALL WAS FINE. WELL RECENTLY IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE OFTEN, WHETHER IT IS WET OR DRY OUT AND AT ANY SPEED OR WHETHER THE CRUISE CONTROL IS ON OR OFF. IT ALSO SEEMS TO TRY TO SHUT DOWN WHILE FEATHERING THE GAS PEDAL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FROM ACCELERATING TO COAST. ON ONE OCCASION THIS SUMMER AT HIGHWAY SPEED PULLING OUR CAMPER IT SHUT DOWN AND I HAD TO COAST TO A STOP ALONG THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY TO RESTART. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE. I HAVE CHILDREN, AS I AM SURE MANY HERE WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT DO. *TR

MY JEEP STALLS AND WILL NOT START BACK DASH SAYS TRANS OVER HEAT BUT ITS NOT. CHECKED ALL THE FUSES AND RELAYS NOTHING SEEMS AFTER SOME RESEARCH THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE JEEPS THE DEALERS CAN'T FIX IT PLEASE HELP US! *TR

HAD THE PRESCRIBED N23 RECALL DONE BECAUSE A SAFETY HAZARD WAS POSSIBLE ,YET THE SAFETY HAZARDS SEEMED TO COME THEREAFTER,THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN BACK MULTIPLE TIMES WITHOUT ANY RESOLUTION.SEEMS THAT THE DEALER IS VERY EVASIVE AND IT ALWAYS LEADS TO SOMETHING ELSE BEEN THE PROBLEM AND NOW THE SAID PART IS ON A NATIONAL BACKORDER,WOULD THIS NOT INDICATE A NATIONAL ISSUE WITH REGARDS TO THESE VEHICLES.THE 4X4 SYSTEM IS NOW MALFUNCTIONING. *TR

I TOOK MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER TO GET A N23 RECALL DONE ON IT. WITHOUT CHECKING ANYTHING BEFORE I DROVE OFF THE LOT AFTER THEY DID THE UPDATE, I TRIED MY 4LO DRIVE OUT AND WOULD NOT WORK A FEW WEEKS LATER. I ADVISED THE JEEP DEALERSHIP OF THE PROBLEM BUT THEY SAID HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE RECALL. AS I LOOKED FURTHER INTO MY SITUATION IM NOT THE ONLY PERSON TO EXPERIENCE THIS ISSUE WITH THIS EXACT RECALL. I HAD JEEP TAKE IT BACK IN TO LOOK OVER THE RECALL. THEY HAD MY VEHICLE FOR 2 DAYS TO TELL ME THAT ITS MY TRANSFER CASE ACTUATOR THAT HAS GONE OUT. AS I ADVISED THAT THE PAPERWORK I GAVE TO THEM REGUARDING THIS RECALL IS IN REGUARDS TO MY TRANSFER CASE ACTUATOR ELECTRICAL FAILURE. BUT THEY INSIST ITS NOW UP TO ME TO PAY AND FIX THIS MYSELF. SO NOW IM STUCK HAVING TO FORK OUT MONEY TO REPLACE A PART THATS NOT COMMUNICATING WITH THE RECALL THAT WAS SENT TO ME IN THE FIRST PLACE PLUS A DIAGNOSTICS FEE FOR TAKING MY JEEP BACK. SOMETHING THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO HELP MY JEEP HAS MADE IT WORSE AND TO TOP IT OFF I'VE GOT NOTHING BUT HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR THE DEALERSHIP AND ALSO CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE. I HAVE A PAPER IN FRONT OF MY FACE THAT SHOWS WHY THEY ARE HAVING A RECALL DUE TO THE TRANSFER CASE ACTUATOR BUT SOMEHOW NOT THE DEALERSHIP OR CHRYSLER CANT FIND SUCH THING. I TOLD THEM TO GET ON THE INTERNET AND WAS INFORMED THAT EVERYTHING YOU SEE ON THE INTERNET IS NOT TRUE. THATS WHEN I HAD ENOUGH. HOW DARE THEM SAY THAT WHEN CHRYSLERS NAME IS ON THE TOP LEFT OF THE RECALL. I FEEL NOW THAT I WAS LET DOWN BY THE DEALERSHIP AND CHRYSLER AND HAVE NO WHERE TO TURN TO HELP ME GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED WITHOUT PAYING OUT OF MY POCKET. *TR

I WOULD BE DRIVING, AND MY TEMPERATURE GAUGE WOULD SLOWLY CREEP OVER TO HOT, TEMP OVER HEATING..I NOTICED AS I SLOWED DOWN MY CAR WANTED TO STALL, IT WOULD PUTT PUTT PUTT UNTIL I GAVE IT A GO AS IF IT WAS MISFIRING, AND SLOWLY THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE WOULD GO BACK TO NORMAL. HONESTLY NOT THINKING ANYTHING OF IT, I WENT HOME, DROPPED THE GROCERIES OFF AND PROCEEDED BACK TO MY CAR TO PICK MY SON UP FROM SCHOOL. I STARTED MY CAR, IT STALLED, I STARTED IT AGAIN, IT STALLED, EXTREMELY WORRIED I WAS PRAYING THIRD TIME A CHARM..AS I STARTED IT THE THIRD TIME IT STARTED WITH MUCH HESITATION AND DID THE SAME STUTTERING AS IF IT WAS MISFIRING AGAIN. I PROCEEDED TO MY SONS SCHOOL, WATCHING THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE CREEP RIGHT BACK UP TO HOT. WHEN I GOT THERE I CHECKED THE HOOD, NO STEAM, NOTHING SEEMED HOT, AND THE COOLANT LEVEL WAS STILL FULL. WHEN WE WENT TO LEAVE IT REFUSED TO START. LONG STORY SHORT, I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT MY CAR FOR A MONTH NOW, AND AFTER SPENDING 1000'S OF DOLLARS TO FIX THE SITUATION, THE MECHANIC CANT FOR CERTAIN PUT HIS HAND ON IT. EVERYTHING HE DOES, LEADS TO HIM THINKING SOMETHING ELSE, AND LEADS TO THE PROBLEM BECOMING AN ENGINE OVERHAUL. HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS OVER HEATING ISSUE, AND THE MISFIRING OF THE CAR, AS IF IT STALLS WHILE DRIVING? PLEASE, I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER, I AM AT MY WITS END. *TR

THE SEAT BELTS IN MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER MALFUNCTION. THE THIRD ROW SEAT BUCKLES HAVE CRACKED MAKING THEM VERY DIFFICULT TO GET THE BELT INTO THE BUCKLE. AT TIMES THE BELTS WILL EVEN UNLATCH ON THEIR OWN. ONE OF THE BUCKLES HAD SHATTERED AND IS NOW COMPLETELY INOPERABLE. THIS IS ALSO HAPPENING TO THE SECOND ROW SEATS AS WELL AS THE PASSENGER SEAT. HAVING THREE CHILDREN WITH CAR SEATS IN THE CAR, THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. ESPECIALLY SINCE THEY CAN DETACH AT ANY TIME. IT ALSO MAKES ME VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SECURITY OF THE BELTS IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. I HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE REGARDING THE 2006-2007 MODEL YEARS HAVING SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH THE SEAT BELTS. *TR

ON TWO SEPARATE OCCURRENCES SO FAR, THE JEEP HAS RANDOMLY STALLED OUT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IN TRAFFIC. ACCELERATOR AND STEERING LOOSE FUNCTION. OTHER TIMES IT HAS NEARLY STALLED BUT REGAINED OPERATION. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON WITH CODE FOR LARGE VACUUM LEAK? DEALER WAS UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND IS CURRENTLY EVALUATING AGAIN. VEHICLE STARTS BACK UP FINE AFTER PULLING TO SIDE OF ROAD AND REMOVING AND REINSERTING KEY. SAFETY ISSUE TO STALL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND LOSE POWER STEERING! THIS DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE THE FIRST OCCURRENCE AS THERE ARE MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS AND A RECALL/INVESTIGATION WHICH NOTED IT IN 2007 VEHICLES BUT ONLY ISSUED A PCM RECALL FOR 2006 VEHICLES. *TR

AFTER TAKING THE JEEP COMMANDER IN TO A DEALER SHIP TO GET RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 13V175000 FIXED THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN WANTING TO TURN OFF AT RANDOM. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE IN PARK OR EVEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE 1ST TIME IT HAPPEN, I WAS ACCELERATING WHILE GETTING ON THE HIGH WAY AND I WAS GOING ABOUT 40 MPH AND THE ENGINE LOST ALL POWER AND IT WAS HARD TO STEER. IT LASTED ABOUT 4 SEC AND THEN STOPPED. THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPEN WAS GOING DOWN THE HIGH WAY ABOUT 65 MPH WITH THE CRUISE ON AND IT DID THE SAME THING AND THE LAST TIME IT DID IT THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. EACH TIME IT HAPPENS IT ONLY LAST ABOUT 4-5 SECS. IT JUST STARTED DOING IT RIGHT AFTER THE DEALER SHIP REPROGRAMMED THE ECM TO FIX THE RECALL. *JB
