2007 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4 Complaints

WHEN MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER IS IN DRIVE THE VEHICLE WILL STALL AND SPUTTER OR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. VEHICLE SPEED VARIES BETWEEN 5 AND 60 MILES PER HOUR WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURS. THE PROBLEM STARTED IN OCTOBER 2009 VEHICLE SPEED AT THAT TIME WAS 5MPH. SINCE THEN THE SPEED WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURS HAS INCREASED AND THE LAST TIME (JANUARY 2010) I WAS DRIVING AT 55 MPH THE VEHICLE ENGINE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF, NO POWER WAS VISIBLE ON ANY CONTROL I.E. DASHBOARD LIGHTS, RADIO, ETC AND I LOST STEERING POWER. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE COAST OFF INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE STOP THE VEHICLE MOVE IT TO PARK AND RESTART. THE PROBLEM OCCURS RANDOMLY AND WITH NO APPARENT WARNING. WHEN IT CUTS OFF I LOSE POWER STEERING AND HAVE HAD SEVERAL NEAR ACCIDENTS WITH CARS TRAVELING BEHIND ME. WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLS AND SPUTTERS BUT DOES NOT LOSE ALL POWER IT MAY THEN SURGE FORWARD WHEN THE POWER RECONNECTS. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE AT MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP BUT THEY CAN NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM. *TR

MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER HAS STALLED NUMEROUS TIMES IN 55 MPH TRAFFIC THAT I TRAVEL IN DAILY TO WORK. THE DATE BELOW IS MOST RECENT. IT IS AS IF ALL OF A SUDDEN IT IS NOT GETTING FUEL AD WILL NOT RESPOND TO THE THROTTLE. I HAVE HAD IT INTO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND OF COURSE THEY CANNOT REPEAT THE INCIDENT. I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER POSTINGS FROM COMMANDER OWNERS ON INTERNET BULLETIN BOARDS WITH THE SAME ISSUES. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR A VEHICLE TO REPEATEDLY STALL LIKE THAT IN TRAFFIC. PLEASE DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED. *TR

APPLIED DEFROSTER TO WINDSHIELD DURING COLD WEATHER <10 DEG F, AND WINDSHIELD INTERIOR GLASS CRACKED IN MULTIPLE AREAS. ALL CRACKS STARTED FROM BASE OF WINDOW. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF. WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO ENGAGE THE BRAKE PEDAL OR CONTROL THE STEERING WHEEL EVERYTHING SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO COAST ONTO THE EMERGENCY LANE, RESTART THE VEHICLE AND DRIVE HOME SAFELY. THE VEHICLE IS BEING REPAIRED BY THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71,000.

2007 JEEP COMMANDER. ALL OF THE SUDDEN MY JEEP WOULD NOT START. BATTERY WAS FULLY CHARGED AND NO ISSUES WITH THE ALTERNATOR. HAD TO HAVE THE JEEP TOWED TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE WIRELESS REMOTE COMPONENT WAS NOT WORKING. THIS SHOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE WITH A THREE YEARS OLD CAR. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER OVERLAND WITH A 5.7L V8 HEMI MOTOR WITH 35,000 MILES ON IT. I AM EXPERIENCING STALLING WITH MY VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE HAS STALLED THREE TIMES NOW - ONCE AT A STOP LIGHT, ONCE WHILE IDLING IN A PARKING LOT, AND ONCE WHILE DRIVING (AROUND 10 -15 MPH). I SPOKE WITH CHRYSLER AND THEY BLEW ME OFF. I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND AM FEARFUL THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AT A HIGH SPEED OR SOMEWHERE WHERE THIS STALLING WILL RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. WHILE SEARCHING THE INTERNET AND VARIOUS FORUMS, I FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS STALLING ISSUE. WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS IF CHRYSLER DENIES THE PROBLEM AND INSISTS THEY "CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG" WITH THE VEHICLE? IT CAN'T BE A 'FLUKE' IF THOUSANDS OF JEEP COMMANDER DRIVERS ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE! *TR

I HAVE A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. I LIVE IN VIRGINIA. THE TEMPERATURE HAS BEEN IN THE 30'S. WITH NO APPARENT CAUSE (NO ROCK HITTING OR ANYTHING), MY WINDSHIELD STARTED WITH A TINY HAIRLINE CRACK (BOTTOM MIDDLE) AND IN A COUPLE DAYS, THE CRACKED LINE BECAME "L-SHAPED" AND MOVING LEFT. IT WAS ABOUT 8 INCHES IN LENGTH. I BELIEVE THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW IN THE WINDSHIELD SINCE NOTHING HAPPENED OTHER THAN THE COLD TEMPERATURE AND MY PERHAPS MY USE OF THE VEHICLE'S DEFROST. *TR

I OWN AT 2007 JEEP COMMANDER WITH 33,000 MILES ON IT. I WAS DRIVING 55 ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY WHEN MY JEEP COMMANDER JUST TURNED OFF. I HAD NO ACCELERATION OR POWER BRAKES. I WAS LUCKY TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT HITTING ANYONE. I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T REPRODUCE THE ISSUE AND THERE WAS NO CODE SO THEY COULDN'T IDENTIFY WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. I AM SUPPOSE TO CALL THEM IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN.. *TR

IN AUGUST 2009 A TRUCK DROPPED A ROCK FROM ITS LOAD A BROKE (CRACKED) MY WINDSHIELD ON MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. WE HAD THE WINDSHIELD REPLACED AND WITH IN WEEKS A CRACK APPEARED ON THE TOP OF DRIVER"S SIDE. THE WINDSHIELD WAS NOT STRUCK BY ANYTHING. THAT CRACKED WINDSHIELD WAS REPLACED AND IN NOVEMBER THAT WINDSHIELD CRACKED ON THE TOP SIDE OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE. AGAIN NOTHING STRUCK THE WINDSHIELD. ON DEC. 1, 2009 THIRD WINDSHIELD WAS INSTALLED. LATE IN DECEMBER, 2009 THAT WINDSHIELD DEVELOPED A CRACK ON THE BOTTOM OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE. AGAIN NOTHING STRUCK THE WINDSHIELD TO CAUSE THE CRACK. THE AUTO GLASS COMPANY STATES THAT THIS IS UNUSUAL BUT NOTHING THEY ARE DOING DURING THE INSTALLATION WOULD CAUSE THIS PROBLEM TO OCCUR THREE CONSECUTIVE TIMES. WE DROVE THE CAR FOR TWO YEARS, 2007 TO 2009 WITHOUT PROBLEMS WITH THE WINDSHIELD. ONLY AFTER A REPLACEMENT WAS INSTALLED DID THE CRACKS START APPEARING. THE CRACKS IN THE REPLACEMENT WINDOWS ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DO CAUSE VISIBILITY AND SAFETY ISSUES. *TR

2007 JEEP COMMANDER WITH V6 ENGINE. CAR HAS STALLED IN TRAFFIC NUMEROUS TIMES, AND HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY. IT IS NOW AT THE DEALER FOR THE 4TH OR 5TH TIME FOR STALLING. EACH TIME, THEY CLAIM SOMETHING DIFFERENT WAS THE ROOT CAUSE. I AM CONVINCED THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, THEREFORE THEY CANNOT POSSIBLY FIX IT. *TR
