2007 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4 Complaints

2007 JEEP COMMANDER. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED HER HUSBAND WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, WHERE HE WAS HIT BY A TRAIN IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD WHILE CROSSING A RAILROAD TRACK. THE TRAIN STRUCK THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ACCORDING TO THE POLICE REPORT, THE TRAIN DRAGGED THE VEHICLE ABOUT 100 FEET AND THEN FLIPPED IT OVER ON ITS ROOF ONTO THE STREET.

3RD ROW SEATING, WHEN YOU FOLD DOWN SEATS THE SEAT BELT DOES NOT FOLD DOWN WITH THE SEATS AND GETS JAMMED, THE SEATS GET FREYED AND TORN. THE SEAT BELTS DO NOT WORK. *TR

I WAS BEGINNING TO ACCELERATE OUT OF A RIGHT TURN AND NOTICED THAT I WAS NOT PICKING UP SPEED AND THE CAR STARTED TO SHAKE. I TRIED TO SPEED UP TO THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC AND THE ACCELERATOR WAS NOT WORKING AND THE STEERING WHEEL KEPT SHAKING AND HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I NOTICED THAT ALL THE GEARS ON THE DASH WERE LIT UP, FROM PARK TO DRIVE AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN. I DECIDED TO SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND START IT AGAIN. THE CAR WAS FINE BUT DID IT AGAIN ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THANK GOODNESS I WAS NOT ON THE FREEWAY AND THERE WAS NOT A LOT OF TRAFFIC. *TR

I WAS NOTIFIED OF A RECALL NOTICE ON MY COMMANDER IN JUNE. THE RECALL (N23) STATES THE CAR CAN SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL WHILE IN THE PARKED POSITION. MY CAR HAS SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL TWICE WHILE MOVING, ONCE WHILE I WAS TRAVELING 25 MPH AND ONCE AT 70 MPH. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND CHRYSLER. THE PART IS CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE TO FIX THE RECALL ISSUE. THEY INFORMED ME THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO BUT WAIT. THEY DO NOT HAVE AN EXPECTED DATE FOR THE PART'S ARRIVAL. I'M LEFT WITHOUT A VEHICLE, AND THEY DO NOT COVER LOANER CARS FOR THEIR RECALL. *TR

VEHICLE STALLED WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TAKE OFF FROM A RED LIGHT. IT WOULD NOT INITIALLY RESTART, BUT A FULL POWER CYCLE OF THE CAR RESOLVED THE ISSUE. REPORTING INCIDENT AS MANY OTHERS HAVE REPORTED SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND WANT TO ADD TO THE DATA. *TR

SINCE SEPT. 2012 I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE NOT STARTING AND THE DASHBOARD MESSAGE IS "TRANSMISSION OVER HEAT" OR "TRANSMISSION TEMP OVER HEAT". IT WILL NOT START AT ALL. THIS PAST SUNDAY IT STARTED BUT IT WOULD CUT OFF LIKE IT WAS OUT OF GAS BUT THERE WAS A MORE THAN HALF FULL. I HAD TO GET TOWED FOR THE 2ND TIME IN A WEEK AND FOR THE 5TH TIME SINCE 2012. NO ONE SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM AND FIX IT PERMANENTLY SO THIS PROBLEM DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. I AM A DISABLED WOMAN AND CAN'T AFFORD TO BE STRANDED EVERY TIME I GET IN MY VEHICLE AND HAVE TO SIT AND WAIT FOR A TOW FOR OVER AN HOUR. I ALSO HAVE TO KEEP PAYING FOR REPAIRS THAT HAVEN'T BEEN WORKING SO THAT'S DRAINING ME. IS THERE A REASON FOR THIS PROBLEM AND IF SOMEONE HAS THE ANSWER PLEASE LET ME KNOW SO I CAN GET THIS FIXED ONCE AND FOR ALL. I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS WITH ANY VEHICLE I'VE EVER HAD BEFORE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING UP HILL (JUST AUTOSTICKED TO 3RD) JEEP COMMANDER STALLED. HAD TO SLOWLY BACK DOWN CURVE ON HILL TO SAFE POINT. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART. CALLED FOR TOW AND WAITED. TRUCK STARTED AFTER 10 MINUTES AND DROVE TO DEALERSHIP IN STAFFORD CONNECTICUT. VEHICLE STAYED THERE FOR 3 WEEKS ULTIMATELY ENDING WITH NO FINDINGS. WITH 79000 MILES I AM AFRAID THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN WITHOUT NOTICE. DEALER SAW ENGINE CODES INITIALLY BUT COULD NOT DUPLICATE ISSUE AFTER CODES DISAPPEARED. DEALER REFUSED TO CHANGE ANYTHING WITHOUT CODE VERIFICATION. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH COMMANDERS PRE/POST YEARS-WONDERING WHAT IS GOING ON IN TERMS OF RECALL? *TR

THE ENGINE HAS STALLED ON ME MANY TIMES WHILE DRIVING AT A SLOW SPEED, TAKE OFF FROM A STOP LIGHT OR WHILE STANDING STILL. ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ONE NUMEROUS TIMES AND CODES HAVE LEAD TO DIFFERENT SENSORS. WHICH WERE REPLACED BUT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM OF THE JEEP STALLING AND SHUTTING OFF. THIS IS MY MAIN VEHICLE AND I CAN NOT CHANCE THE SAFETY OF MY KIDS AND FAMILY WHEN NO ONE WANTS TO TAKE ACTION FOR A PROBLEM THAT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED OR RECALLED. IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO MY FAMILY DIE TO THIS PROBLEM THERE WILL BE A LAW SUIT. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED WITH A LITTLE OVER 60,000 MILES ON IT AND HAVE ONLY HAD IT FOR A MONTH. I CAN NOT EVEN GO A FULL WEEK WITH OUT IT SHUTTING OFF OR STALLING ON ME. THERE IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT JEEP CHRYSLER NEEDS TO LOOK INTO! *TR

PURCHASED THE JEEP IN JANUARY OF 2011. WITHIN A MONTH OF OWNING IT, IT WOULD RANDOMLY STALL WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. WHEN THE JEEP STALLS, ALL OF THE LIGHTS IN THE DASHBOARD ILLUMINATE. YOU CAN PUSH DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THE RPM'S GO UP, BUT THE SPEED STILL DECREASES UNTIL THE VEHICLE STOPS. IT WILL CUT RIGHT BACK ON AFTER STOPPING AND CUTTING THE ENGINE OFF. THE VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY DO THIS NO MATTER THE WEATHER CONDITIONS, SPEED, OR ANYTHING ELSE. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT AND I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD HAVE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM THEMSELVES TO FIX IT. SINCE IT RANDOMLY MESSES UP UNDER NO SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES, I COULDN'T LEAVE THE VEHICLE WITH THEM WHILE THEY DROVE IT EVERY DAY TRYING TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM. JEEP HAS DONE THIS PROBABLY 10 TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT. I CALLED A DEALERSHIP AND GAVE MY VIN AND WAS TOLD NO RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE. YET I AM CONTINUOUSLY READING ABOUT THE SAME EXACT ISSUE WITH OTHER PEOPLE'S 2007 JEEP COMMANDERS. *TR

VEHICLE WILL IDLE ROUGH AND STALL AFTER 15-45 SECONDS AFTER STARTING. WILL NOT STAY RUNNING IN P,N, OR D. *TR
