2007 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4 Complaints

THIS IS IN RELATION TO PREVIOUS COMPLAINTS 10333965 AND 10381374. SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN ON OCT 24, 2011. WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY AT ABOUT 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE MADE A SUDDEN AND VIOLENT JERK BUT DID NOT TOTALLY LOSE POWER LIKE IN MOST OTHER SITUATIONS. THIS PROBLEM HAS NOT OCCURRED SINCE FEBRUARY 2011 AND SEEMS TO ONLY OCCUR IN COLD WEATHER. *TT

IT WAS A RAINY DAY. I PULLED MY CAR IN TO THE GARAGE AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. PULLED OUT THE KEY AND ENTERED MY HOUSE. THE GARAGE IS CONNECTED TO MY HOME. I CAME BACK TO THE GARAGE SOME TIME LATER TO FIND THE ENGINE WAS STILL ON. I RAN TO THE DRIVERS SEAT TO SEE NO KEY IN THE IGNITION AND VERIFIED THE REMOTE ENGINE FEATURE WASN'T ENGAGED, IT IS DESIGNED TO TURNOFF AFTER THE CAR DOOR IS OPEN FOR A SHORT TIME. THE ENGINE WOULDN'T SHUT OFF. I BROUGHT IT TO MY HUSBAND, WHO DROVE IT A BIT AND COULD NOT GET THE ENGINE OFF. EVENTUALLY IT SELF CORRECTED. A TRULY DANGEROUS ISSUE SINCE THIS CAR IS PARKED IN MY HOME. WE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER ABOUT 4 TIMES, AND WHILE THE ENGINE HASN'T DONE THAT AGAIN, VARIOUS PARTS OF THE CAR TURN ON SPONTANEOUSLY. A SINGLE HEAD LIGHT, A SINGLE BRAKE LIGHT, ALL THE LIGHTS. IT SEEMS THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM NO LONGER HAS FULL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND THAT IS DANGEROUS. I BELIEVE MY CAR IS JUST ONE OF MANY 2007 JEEPS THAT ARE HAVING ENORMOUS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, MY CASE JUST ILLUSTRATES HOW DANGEROUS THIS COULD BE. A CAR ENGINE RUNNING SPONTANEOUSLY IS UNACCEPTABLE AND IT IS CLEAR THIS IS JUST A SYMPTOM OF A COMMON PROBLEM TO ALL THESE JEEPS. *TR

DRIVING AT 55 MPH AND SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND STALLED. THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL AS THE ANTI LOCK BRAKE LIGHT. I COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CAME TO A STOP. I STARTED THE VEHICLE RIGHT BACK UP AND DROVE STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM BUT FOUND A STORED CODE THAT THEY SENT TO CHRYSLER FOR CLARIFICATION. DEALERSHIP SAID THEY WOULD CONTACT ME WHEN THEY HEARD FROM CHRYSLER WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. *TR

A WOMAN MADE A LEFT HAND TURN IN FRONT OF OUR CAR, CUTTING US OFF, CAUSING MY FRONT END TO CRASH INTO THE SIDE OF HER CAR. WE WERE TRAVELING ABOUT 35 MILES AN HOUR, THE SPEED LIMIT, AT THE TIME OF THE CRASH. THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. BECAUSE OF THIS MY PASSENGER AND I HIT THE DASH. THE FRONT END LOOKED TO BE TOTALED.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE WAITING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE SPARK PLUGS WERE DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE REMEDY FAILED TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE SECOND TIME THE FAILURE OCCURRED THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED WHICH ALSO DID NOT CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER A THIRD TIME, BUT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 61, 000.

BEEN READING ABOUT THIS ON WEB SITES SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH A MODULE READ ABOUT PEOPLE STALLING, I HAVE NOT YET BUT THIS HAS HAPPEN 3 TIMES TO MY TRUCK SO FAR.. 2007 JEEP COMMANDER WITH 37,000 MILES ONLY I DONT WANT IT TO STALL AND GET REAR ENDED ON THE HIGHWAY AND GET HURT OR ANYONE ELSE IS THERE A NATIONAL PROBLEM WITH THIS HAPPENING?? SEEMS TO BE A HAZARD TO BEING SAFE.... *TR

MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER HAS CONTINUED TO HAVE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED AND DEALER HAS REPLACED IGNITION SWITCH, WIRES WITHIN THE WIRING HARNESS, STARTER AND NOW THEY ADMIT THAT THEY HAD TO CONTACT CHRYSLER MECHANICS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THREE TIMES IT'S BEEN AT THE DEALER FOR THE REPAIR AND NOW SUBJECT TO LEMON LAW. THERE ARE NUMEROUS REPORTS AND MORE SERIOUS ONES WITH JEEP COMMANDERS LOSING POWER EITHER AFTER BEING PARKED THEN ATTEMPTING TO START OR WHILE DRIVING, CAUSING HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS. *TR

I OWN A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER 4 X 4 3.7L. AFTER HAVING SOME ISSUES WITH, WHAT I THOUGHT WAS THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING, I CHECKED AND ADDED TRANS. FLUID AND HAD BOTH TRANS LINES REPLACED DUE TO LEAKING. EVERYTHING SEEMED TO BE OK FOR A COUPLE WEEKS, UNTIL I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND NOT ONLY WAS THERE A DELAY WHEN I WOULD TRY TO ACCELERATE, THE SERVICE PARKING ASSIST SYSTEM MESSAGE APPEARED A COUPLE TIMES, ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 30 MILES PER HOUR AND THE RPMS WOULD RUN ABOVE 2 ON THE DASH. I PARKED, TURNED THE ENGINE OFF, HOPING IT WOULD RESET THE SYSTEM, BUT IT STILL CONTINUED TO REPEAT THE SAME THINGS WHEN I TURNED EVERYTHING BACK ON AGAIN. THIS WENT ON FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES. THEN AFTER 10 MINUTES PASSED, I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND WHEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE FROM THE STOP, ONCE THE LIGHT TURNED, THE VEHICLE FELT AS IF IT WAS GOING TO STALL. I STARTED RESEARCHING THE SYMPTOMS THAT I WAS HAVING AND IT SEEMS TO BE RECURRING IN MANY 2007 JEEP COMMANDERS. MOST OF THE COMPLAINTS THAT I READ ABOUT, STATE THAT THE DEALER TOLD THEM THE EITHER THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE OR THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE WAS FAULTY. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE FURTHER. MY JEEP IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD AND ONLY HAS 50K MILES ON IT AND FOR A SERIOUS PROBLEM LIKE THIS TO BE GOING ON WITH SO FEW MILES, THIS JUST DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT. *TR

I OWN A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER AND NOW IT WILL SHIFT IN LOW SPEED MODE WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I HAVE THE DEALER REST IT AND IT DID IT AGAIN WHILE COMING HOME. THE REPLACEMENT OF THIS MODULE IS 1000 DOLLARS AND WITH ONLY 104K MILES I FEEL THAT FOR SAFETY AND RELIABILITY THIS SHOULD IS ON RECALL. THIS JEEP IS ONLY 4 YRS OLD AND TO EARLY FOR THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. *TR

SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM WOULD COME UP AND P R N D WOULD LIGHT UP, THEN JEEP WOULD NOT ACCELERATE UNTIL I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL OR PARK AND THEN BACK INTO DRIVE. A COUPLE OF TIMES WHEN IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE IT HAD COMPLETELY STALLED OUT FOR NO REASON. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITENTLY DURING THIS TIME. ALSO, MANUAL SHIFT BEVEL STOPPED WORKING ABOUT 4 MONTHS AFTER GETTING THE VEHICLE (STILL COVERED BY WARRANTY) AND WAS REPLACED, STOPPED WORKING ABOUT 5 MONTHS AFTER THAT AND WAS REPLACED WITH THE WARRANTY BUT THEN STOPPED WORKING AGAIN ABOUT 3 MONTHS LATER AND IS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY ANY LONGER. ABOUT 1 MONTH AGO HEARD A LOUD NOISE AS I WAS GOING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE AND NOW EVERYTIME IT SHIFTS FROM FIRST TO SECOND OR SECOND TO FIRST IT SHIFTS VERY HARD. *TR
