2007 JEEP COMMANDER, 92,000 MILES, STALLS WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I WAS ABLE TO GUIDE VEHICLE TO SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RE-START THE ENGINE. THIS STALLING PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED ON ABOUT TEN OCCASIONS NOW, ONCE WITH MY KIDS ON BOARD, A SCARY SITUATION TO SAY THE LEAST. SOMETIMES BEFORE THE PROBLEM STARTS THE PARK ASSIST WILL TURN ITSELF OFF AND THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON. WE HAVE TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO GET AN ERROR CODE FROM THE COMPUTER SYSTEM BY TURNING THE KEY 3 TIMES IN A ROW BUT IT NEVER RETURNS A CODE. SOMETIMES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL STAY ON FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS BUT EVENTUALLY GOES OUT AND THE JEEP WILL RUN FINE UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN. THE LAST TIME THIS OCCURRED THE ABILITY TO SHIFT THE GEARS FROM 1 TO 4 WAS INOPERABLE AND WHEN YOU PRESSED THE GEAR SHIFT RIGHT OR LEFT IT REMAINED IN DRIVE. I HAVE CALLED SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS AND HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT THEY HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING OF THIS PROBLEM AND THEY WANT ME TO PAY TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC RAN BUT CAN'T CONFIRM WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. *TR

2007 JEEP COMMANDER LIMITED. 5.7L HEMI. VEHICLE HAS STALLED ABOUT HALF A DOZEN TIMES IN LAST TWO YEARS. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (+/- 65 MPH) AND WITH NO WARNING. ENGINE QUITS AND INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHT COME ON. I'VE (LUCKILY) BEEN ABLE TO PULL SAFELY OFF THE ROAD. WHEN I SHUT OFF THE IGNITION SWITCH AND WAIT A FEW SECONDS, I AM ABLE TO START IT BACK UP AND CONTINUE. I'VE BROUGHT THIS UP TO TWO SEPARATE JEEP DEALERS, AND THEY CLAIM THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. *TR

2007 JEEP COMMANDER, 51,000 MILES, STALLS WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I WAS ABLE TO GUIDE VEHICLE TO SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RE-START THE ENGINE. THIS STALLING PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED ON TWO OCCASIONS NOW, ONCE WITH MY KIDS ON BOARD, A SCARY SITUATION TO SAY THE LEAST. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON A WEEK AFTER THE LAST INCIDENT AND DEALER BELIEVES THE PROBLEM IS A FAULTY ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE, WHICH THEY SAID IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. WHEN PRESSED ABOUT STALLING OF 2007 COMMANDERS, DEALER SAID THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS OR RECALL, YET REPLACEMENT OF THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM? BASED UPON THE SUBMISSIONS TO NHTSA REGARDING THIS PROBLEM, NHTSA NEEDS TO TAKE ACTION NOW. THE HISTORY OF REPORTS REGARDING 2007 COMMANDERS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED, I URGE THE NHTSA AND CHRYSLER DO THE RIGHT THING BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. *TR

I OWN A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER SUV. I HAVE BEEN HAVING NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH IT STALLING WHILE I AM IN MOTION. IT ALSO STALLS SOMETIMES WHILE I AM AT A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. ANOTHER STRANGE OCCURRENCE IS THAT SOMETIMES I START IT AND ITS MOVING AND I AM STEPPING ON THE GAS AND IT JUST HAS NO POWER. IT GETS TO ABOUT 20 MPH AND I CAN STEP ALL THE WAY DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL AND NOTHING, IT HAS NO POWER. I PULL OVER SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND START IT AGAIN AND IT IS FINE UNTIL THE NEXT TIME. I HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM SINCE SEPTEMBER AND HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS OTHER MECHANICS AND I AM TOLD SOMETHING ABOUT A SENSOR SENSING THAT THERE IS A MALFUNCTION. THEY CANNOT HOWEVER FIX THE PROBLEM AND ACT LIKE THIS IS VERY STRANGE AND THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS COMPLAINT. I AM AFRAID THAT ONE OF THESE DAYS THIS WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND EITHER I OR MY CHILDREN OR SOMEONE ELSE WILL BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR EVEN WORSE, KILLED. *TR

DRIVING A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER LIMITED 4X4, WITH 5.7 LITRE HEMI ENGINE AT 30 MILES PER HOUR ALONG SIDE ROAD, ENGINE CUT OUT UNEXPECTEDLY NO WARNING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 6 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WITHIN THE PAST 6 MONTHS WITH NO CONSISTENCY RELATIVE TO SPEED, ROAD CONDITIONS, ETC. ON THE PREVIOUS 5 OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE CUT OUT FOR A FEW SECONDS, THEN RESTARTED ITSELF. ON THE LAST OCCASION, THE ENGINE CUT OUT COMPLETELY AND NEEDED TO BE GUIDED OFF THE ROAD. WHENEVER THIS OCCURS THE DRIVER LOSES ALL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE CREATING AN UNCONTROLLABLE AND DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR THE DRIVER AND OTHER MOTORISTS. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO PAUL BAILEY JEEP CHRYLSLER DODGE ON 2 OCCASIONS FOR AN ASSESSMENT AND REVIEW OF THE CODE SYSTEM. NEITHER VISIT GAVE ANY INDICATION AS TO WHAT WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. A REPORT HAS BEEN LODGED WITH CHRYSLER AND WE ARE AWAITING INFORMATION FROM THEIR CASE MANAGER. WE BELIEVE THIS TO BE A FATAL ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN AND NEED SOME DIRECTION AS TO THE RECOURSE OR ACTION WE MIGHT TAKE. *TR
