2007 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4 Complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN DECEMBER 2007. WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE BEYOND 30 MPH. AFTER SHUTTING THE VEHICLE OFF IT RESET ITSELF AND BEGAN TO DRIVE NORMALLY. ON ONE OCCASION, WHILE TRAVELING AT SPEEDS OF LESS THAN 65 MPH THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CONTACT WAS ONLY ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE BY USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. IT WAS ALSO DIFFICULT TO USE THE STEERING WHEEL; HOWEVER, IT RESET ITSELF AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE. THE VIN WAS PROVIDED BUT NOT RECOGNIZED WHEN IT WAS ENTERED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE LESS THAN 37,000.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER WITH ABOUT 25K MILES DRIVEN. I NOTICED THAT SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE ON DEMAND. THE TACHOMETER DROPS TO 10K RPM. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG. THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO FAIL AT INCREASING RATES UNEXPECTEDLY. HELP! *TR

WE HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE FOR SEVERAL MONTH WITH NO RESULTS FROM CHRSYLER CORPORATION OR THE DEALERSHIP. WHEN IT RAINS WATER IS COMING INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE SEAT BELT IS ALWAYS WET, WATER IS COMING IN THROUGH THE PANEL, WATER IS ON THE FLOOR AND IN THE CUP HOLDERS. WE HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND IT HAS BEEN LABEL AS A LEMON. HOWEVER, WE HAVE NOT HAD ANY RESULT FROM CHRYSLER. THE RADIO WOULD NOT TURN OFF, THE WINDOWS WOULD NOT COME DOWN, AND THE DOOR WOULD NOT UNLOCK. THIS WAS THE LAST STRAW. WATER IS CONSTANTLY LEAKING INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE FROM THE ROOF. THE VEHICLE HAS A MILDEW SMELL INSIDE. HOWEVER, THIS DILEMMA ABOUT TO COME TO A CLOSE. BUT HAS TAKEN A TURN FOR THE WORSE. I GREGORY HAILEY WAS INFORMED THAT ON MONDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 2008 THAT I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO TAKE PROCESSION OF A VEHICLE, BECAUSE OF SOME TECHNICALITY BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP, CHRYSLER FINANCIAL AND THE THIRD PARTY INDIVIDUAL THAT IS HANDLING THIS MATTER. I AM DEEPLY UPSET WITH CHRYSLER AS A WHOLE IN THE WAY THEY HAVE HANDLE THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A 2 YEAR PROBLEM BECAUSE IT DATES BACK TO 2006 ON THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE. IF THERE IS A NEED PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION. *TR

HVAC AND DEFROST DIRECTS COLD AIR ONTO WINDSHIELD WHILE SENDING 175 DEGREE FAHRENHEIT HOT AIR TO BOTTOM VENTS AIR IS NOT MIXING PROPERLY. JEEP DEALER WILL NOT MAKE REPAIR, SAYING "THIS IS HOW HVAC WORKS". DUE TO COLD AIR BLOWING FROM THE DEFROSTER ON WINDSHIELD, WINDSHIELD BUILDS UP WITH ICE AND SNOW, AND DOES NOT DEFROST PROPERLY. *TR

I LEASE A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. I NOTICED, TO START, THAT THE ENGINE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AT A LOW SPEED. AT FIRST IT FELT LIKE MY FOOT WAS NOT QUITE ON THE ACCELERATOR SO I DISMISSED THE FIRST COUPLE OF INCIDENCES. MORE RECENTLY HOWEVER, MY VEHICLE WILL OCCASIONALLY STOP ACCELERATING AT ABOUT 15 MILES PER HOUR. WITH MY FOOT FULLY ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT GO ( THE ENGINE IS NOT STALLED ). IT DEFINITELY FEELS LIKE THE VEHICLE IS SHIFTING AUTOMATICALLY INTO NEUTRAL WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE. THE ENGINE LIGHT ON MY CONTROL PANEL ILLUMINATES. THE PROBLEM HAS BECOME WORSE. THE VEHICLE WILL STOP ACCELERATING AT HIGHER SPEEDS AND THE PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, AND DRIVE SYMBOLS ALL ILLUMINATE ON MY CONTROL PANEL - SUGGESTING THAT I AM IN ALL THOSE POSITIONS. I TOOK MY COMMANDER IN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE CHECKED ON OCTOBER 6, 2008 AND THEY SAID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS BECAUSE MY VEHICLE IS BLATANTLY NOT WORKING PROPERLY - AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN IF I CANNOT MOVE MY VEHICLE AT AN APPROPRIATE SPEED TO CROSS INTERSECTIONS ETC.. I HAVE TO PUT MY HAZARDS ON AND PULL OVER WHEN THIS HAPPENS, NOW ON A DAILY BASIS. I WILL NOT DRIVE IT DISTANCES BECAUSE I AM AFRAID THAT IT COULD SHIFT OUT OF GEAR ON THE HIGHWAY WHICH WOULD BE DANGEROUS. I DID TAKE IT TO A LOCAL CAR STORE WHERE THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC SCAN AND FOUND THE CODE U0404 THAT INVALID DATA WAS RECEIVED FROM THE GEAR SHIFTER. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO NOW THAT I HAVE A VEHICLE THAT CHRYSLER SAYS NOTHING IS WRONG WITH BUT DOES NOT WORK. I DO THINK THAT THIS IS CLEARLY A DANGEROUS PROBLEM TO HAVE. *TR

I BOUGHT MY NEW 2007 COMMANDER IN SPRING OF 2008. LESS THAN 6 MONTHS LATER I'VE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. RANDOM LIGHTS COME ON AND GO OFF AT DIFFERENT TIMES. MOST RECENTLY I WAS IN CHICAGO ON A MAJOR FREEWAY AND MY CAR STALLED WHEN I SLOWED DOWN FOR TRAFFIC. AFTER TWO TRIES IT RESTARTED BUT MY DASHBOARD, LIGHTS, NAVIGATION SYSTEM WERE NOT WORKING. I DROVE TO A PARKING LOT AND TURNED MY CAR OFF. AFTER LETTING IT SIT FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES, I RESTARTED IT AND ONLY THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THIS TIME. MY DEALERSHIP INSTALLED A NEW IGNITION SWITCH A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO WHEN THE LIGHTS WERE COMING ON BUT THIS DID NOTHING TO HELP. THEY CAN'T GET MY CAR TO DUPLICATE WHAT IT HAS DONE FOR ME SO THEY GIVE MY CAR BACK TO ME WITHOUT REPAIR. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE AND I'M SCARED TO DEATH TO DRIVE IT. HAVING IT STALL IN CHICAGO (NOT FAMILIAR WITH THAT CITY- I WAS ONLY VISITING AND NEEDED MY NAVIGATION SYSTEM TO GET TO WHERE I WAS GOING) WAS VERY SCARY FOR ME AS I'M A FEMALE AND 35. I CONSIDER MYSELF LUCKY THIS TIME. BUT PLEASE- SOMEONE FIX MY CAR OR TAKE IT BACK FROM ME! THIS IS NOT A SAFE VEHICLE . *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4. ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, THE THIRD ROW DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT RETRACTOR BECAME STUCK AROUND THE CONTACT'S CHILD. THE MORE THE CHILD STRUGGLED TO GET OUT OF THE SEAT BELT, THE MORE IT BEGAN TO TIGHTEN. THE CHILD SUFFERED BURNS TO THE CHEST. ON BOTH OCCASIONS, THE CHILD NEEDED ASSISTANCE TO EXIT THE SEAT BELT, WHICH TOOK OVER 20 MINUTES. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 9,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,987.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SPUN AROUND OUT OF CONTROL. THE VEHICLE THEN SHUT OFF ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTARTED ITSELF AFTER 15 MINUTES. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE DEALER TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE AND FOUND NO FAILURES. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE UNKNOWN.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, MY VEHICLE WAS STRUCK WITH A PEBBLE WHICH CAUSED IT TO CHIP. DAYS LATER, THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD WAS CRACKED. THE DEALERSHIP LOOKED AT IT, TOOK PICTURES, SUBMITTED IT TO DETERMINE WHETHER THEY WOULD REPLACE IT DUE TO DEFECT, ETC. I WAS TOLD BY SEVERAL AUTOMOTIVE PROFESSIONALS THAT THE SITUATION WAS ODD. I NEVER HEARD BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP, AND AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS OF TRYING TO CONTACT THEM, WAS TOLD THEY WERE STILL WAITING. MONTHS HAD PASSED AND I STILL NEVER GOT ANYWHERE WITH CHRYSLER SO I REPLACED THE WINDSHIELD OUT OF POCKET IN NOV. 2007. SINCE THEN I HAVE 2 NEW STONE CHIPS AND A 3RD THAT RESULTED IN THE SAME SPLINTERING CRACK ACROSS THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD. THE SAME HAS RECENTLY HAPPENED TO MY 2008 DODGE AVENGER WHEN A SMALL CHIP SPLINTERED IN 5 DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS. IN ALL THE YEARS I HAVE BEEN DRIVING AND ALL THE VEHICLES MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE OWNED I HAVE NEVER HAD EVEN A CHIP IN A WINDSHIELD, EVEN WHILE LIVING ON A GRAVEL ROAD. IS THIS JUST BAD LUCK OR IS CHRYSLER TO BLAME FOR CHEAP/FAULTY PARTS? I HAVE SEEN MANY SERVICE BULLETINS ON YOUR WEBSITE REGARDING THIS AS WELL. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. I LOOKED AT THE GAS GAGE TO FIND OUT THAT IT SAID IT WAS ON E. I THOUGHT THAT WAS ODD BECAUSE I HAD JUST PUT 30.00 INTO THE GAS TANK. I WAS PASSING BY A GAS STATION AND TURNED IN REAL QUICK. I THEN NOTICED MY GAUGES THAT TOLD ME THE OUTSIDE TEMP WAS BLACK AND ALL OTHER ELECTRONIC THINGS WERE OFF. THEN AS I WAS TURNING INTO THE GAS STATION THE POWER STEERING LOCKED UP ON ME AND I ALMOST RAN DIRECTLY INTO THE GAS PUMPS. I SLAMMED ON MY BREAKS AND WAS ABLE TO STOP IN TIME. WHEN THE POWER STEERING LOCKED UP THAT?S WHEN I REALIZED THE CAR HAD JUST TURNED OFF PREVIOUS AND IT WASN'T THE GAS. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURNED THE KEY ALL THE WAY OFF AND RESTARTED THE CAR. THE CAR STARTED RIGHT BACK UP AGAIN. THIS IS ONLY ONE OF A FEW PROBLEMS I?M HAVING IN REGARDS TO THE CAR GOING OUT OF CONTROL. *TR
