2007 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4 Complaints

2007 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4 LIMITED HEMI ENGINE STALLS OVER AND OVER AGAIN. DEALERSHIP TOOK 1 WEEK TO FIX, THEY REPLACED THE COMPUTER, GOT IT BACK AND IT CONTINUES TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, DID NOT EVEN GO A DAY WITHOUT THE PROBLEM RESURFACING. THEY CURRENTLY HAVE THE VEHICLE AND ARE TRYING TO FIX FOR A SECOND TIME. *TR

WE BOUGHT A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER V6 IN JULY/AUGUST OF '08 AND HAVE CONSTANTLY HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE ESM (ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE) DURING THE FIRST FEW VISITS THEY STATED THAT "PROBLEM COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED" AND THEY WOULD FLASH THE VEHICLES COMPUTER AND IT WOULD RUN FOR AWHILE THEN FINALLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND GOT THE VEHICLE IN AND FOUND IT WAS THE ESM WHICH WAS FINALLY REPLACED IN APR '09 AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO HAVE THEM FIX. SINCE IT WAS STILL UNDER THE 3YR/36K WARRANTY IT WAS AT NO COST. NOW IT HAS GONE OUT AGAIN LESS THAN A YEAR LATER AND OUR WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND JEEP STATES THAT THEIR PART WARRANTY (WHICH SHOULD BE 12MO/12K) EXPIRED ALONG WITH THE FACTORY WARRANTY AND WE ARE OUT OF LUCK. THE PART WAS REPLACED AS A "GOODWILL" GESTURE WHICH WAS TOLD TO ME BY A CUSTOMER SERVICE AGENT AND DOES NOT HAVE ANY PART WARRANTY. AS I WAS INVESTIGATING WHETHER OR NOT IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM I NOTICED THAT THE V8 MODELS OF THE COMMANDER HAD A RECALL FOR THE AUTO TRANSMISSIONS BUT THE V6 DOES NOT. IT WAS QUITE SCARY DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 70 THEN SUDDENLY LOSING POWER AND POWER STEERING ESPECIALLY WITH MY 2YR OLD AND 8YR OLD IN THE SUV. THE VEHICLE WOULD GO INTO "LIMP" MODE AND WOULDN'T SHIFT OUT OF 3RD GEAR AND GO FASTER THAN 25MPH, RPMS WOULDN'T RAISE PAST 3K, AND IT WOULD SHIFT HARD INTO GEAR. THE FACT THAT JEEP WILL NOT WARRANTY THAT PART AND ALL THE OTHER PROBLEMS I'VE READ FROM OTHER PEOPLE ON FORUMS, COMPLAINTS,ETC. ABOUT THIS SHOULD WARRANT A INVESTIGATION INTO THIS MATTER. *TR

MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER IS HAVING A PROBLEM WITH STALLING. THE CAR HAS STALLED ON ME TWICE SINCE I PURCHASED IT IN DECEMBER OF 2009. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING IT TO STALL, I EVEN TOOK IT TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN WHILE I AM DRIVING AND I AM UNABLE TO USE THE BRAKE OR THE GAS PEDAL. LUCKILY I WAS ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET BOTH TIMES WITH NO TRAFFIC AND WAS ABLE TO AVOID ANY OTHER VEHICLES, ALTHOUGH I DID COME CLOSE TO STRIKING A STOPPED VEHICLE. I AM CONCERNED WITH MY CHILDREN'S AND MY SAFETY WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. *TR

APPROXIMATELY, TWO MONTHS AGO, A VALVE STEM ON MY JEEP TIRE WAS CORRODED AND THE TIP CRACKED OFF, CAUSING THE SENSOR TO GO OFF ON THE DASH AND IT WAS NOT ABLE TO HAVE AIR PUT IN. I REPLACED THE VALVE STEM AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $80.00. JUST THIS PAST WEEK, THE SAME THING HAPPENED ON ANOTHER TIRE...THE TOP OF THE VALVE STEM CRACKED OFF AND I AM NOT ABLE TO PUT AIR IN THE TIRE. I'M SURE IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL THE SAME THING HAPPENS WITH THE OTHER VALVE STEMS ON THE OTHER TWO TIRES.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS. THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AND CONTINUED IN NORMAL OPERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS TO RESET THE ELECTRONIC SENSORS. RECENTLY, THE DEALER STATED THAT THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THIS TIME. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.

2007 JEEP COMMANDER STALLING WHILE IDLING AT A STOP OR PARKED AND IN IDLE. THE VEHICLE IDLES ROUGH AND BEGINS TO STALL. SOMETIMES IT RECOVERS BUT WHEN IT DOES IT ACCELERATES AND LUNGES FORWARD. IF MY FOOT WAS NOT FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE, I WOULD SLAM INTO THE CAR OR ANY OBJECT IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVE 34,000 MILES ON IT NOW. IT HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR OVER A YEAR NOW (12-15K MILES). I PURCHASED THE JEEP FROM A JEEP DEALER AFTER IT HAD BEEN OWNED FOR A YEAR AND HAD 13,000 MILES ON IT. I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS WAS A PROBLEM FOR THE PREVIOUS OWNER BUT IT IS A CONTINUING PROBLEM FOR ME. IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER 5 TIMES FOR THE PROBLEM AND YET TO BE DIAGNOSED OR RESOLVED. IT IS A DANGEROUS DRIVING SITUATION AND I HAVE THREE YOUNG CHILDREN IN MY CAR ON A DAILY BASIS. I HAVE NO FINANCIAL MEANS TO GET A NEW CAR SO FORCED TO DRIVE THIS UNSAFE ONE!!! PLEASE MAKE CHRYSLER RECALL AND FIX THE 2007 COMMANDER FOR THIS UNSAFE STALLING/ACCELERATING PROBLEM!! I AM PUTTING MARCH 13, 2010 AS THE INCIDENT DATE BUT IT HAS HAPPENED SO MANY TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR I COULD NOT EVEN BEGIN TO REMEMBER THEM ALL. *TR

2007 JEEP COMMANDER HAS STALLING ISSUES WHEN IT IS RAINING OR AIR IS WET. THIS OCCURS AT IDLE AND SLOW SPEEDS. THIS MODEL (2006 AND 2007) HAS MANY COMPLAINTS, BUT NOTHING IS BEING DONE TO CORRECT IT OR TO HOLD CHRYSLER RESPONSIBLE. THE STALL CAN BE DANGEROUS AND VEHICLE LUNGES FORWARD WHEN IT AUTOMATICALLY TRIED TO RECOVER BEFORE STALLING. *TR

2007 JEEP COMMANDER FAILING ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE. THIS VEHICLE WILL SHIFT OUT OF GEAR AT ANY TIME WITHOUT WARNING. OTHER SYMPTOMS INCLUDE PARKING ASSIST FAILURE MESSAGE ON THE DASH AND ALL GEARS PRND SHOW ACTIVE AT THE SAME TIME ON THE DISPLAY. I CONTACTED JEEP AND WARNED THEM ABOUT THIS BUT THEY WILL NOT INITIATE A RECALL UNTIL FORCED TO DO SO BY THE NHTSA. *TR

2007 JEEP COMMANDER WINDSHIELD EASILY CHIPPED TWICE DURING THE YEAR OF 2008. NOT CRACKED YET, BUT WILL HAVE TO REPLACE EVENTUALLY. I DID NOT REALIZE THAT OTHER COMMANDER OWNERS HAD EXPERIENCED SAME UNTIL READING ONLINE FORUM. THIS SEEMS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW. *TR

MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER 3.7L 6 CYL. 4X4 NEARLY COMES TO A STALL WHEN IDLING OR COMING TO A STOP. RECENTLY, AT IDLE, IT ACTUALLY STALLS OUT. I TOOK THIS TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. I AM NOW TAKING IT IN TO ANOTHER DEALER FOR MORE TESTING. *TR
