2007 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4 Complaints

THIS MORNING I WAS DRIVING INTO WORK, WHEN MY CAR WASN'T GETTING ENOUGH POWER TO MOVE. EACH TIME I WOULD GIVE IT GAS, IT WOULD SPUTTER AT ME. THIS HAS BEEN A CONSTANT PROBLEM SINCE I BOUGHT A YEAR AGO... I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS SO I CAN FIX IT

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT I THOUGHT I COULD HEAR A SCRAPING NOISE. I PROMPTLY ROLLED DOWN MY WINDOW AND CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE SLOWLY. I DIDN'T HEAR THE NOISE SO PROCEEDED HOME. A FEW MILES LATER I PULLED INTO MY DRIVE AND A POLICE OFFICER PULLED UP TO TELL ME METAL WAS LOOSE UNDER MY VEHICLE AND SHOOTING SPARKS OUT OF THE REAR. THE NEXT MORNING I CHECKED AND A LARGE PIECE OF RUSTED METAL WAS HANGING BY A THREAD SO I REMOVED IT. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE VEHICLE INSPECTED AND WAS SHOWN THAT 2 OF THE 3 STRAPS HOLDING MY GAS TANK IN PLACE WERE COMPLETELY GONE AND THE THIRD IS BROKEN AND RUSTED THROUGH. MY VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND I HAD NO IDEA. I LOOKED TO SEE IF THIS WAS A RECALL ISSUE AND IT IS NOT. I SEARCHED TO SEE IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT IT IS EXTREMELY COMMON ACROSS THE ENTIRE JEEP LINE. IF MY GAS TANK WERE TO SEPARATE OR BE PUNCTURED IT COULD NOT ONLY CAUSE AN EXPLOSION KILLING ME AND MY FAMILY BUT COULD KILL/SERIOUSLY INJURE ANYONE ON THE ROAD BEHIND ME. I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO RECOURSE TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. I CAN'T AFFORD THE DEALERSHIP AMOUNT WHICH IS MORE THAN THE VEHICLE IS WORTH. HOW IS THIS NOT A RECALL ISSUE?

WHEN ATTEMPTED TO START VEHICLE,CLICKS BUT STARTER WON'T TURN. ADJUSTING CONTACT IF FACTORY WIRES RESOLVED NO START SITUATION TEMPORARILY. HOWEVER, PROBLEM RETURNED IN 24HOURS

I HAD TRANSMISSION SPEED SENSOR REPLACED 2 1/2 WEEKS AGO IT SEEMS TO WENT OUT ALREADY TRUCK WON'T GO OVER 30 MPH AND CAR JERKS WHILE TRYING TO REACH IT THIS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY AS I WAS ALMOST KILLED TRYING TO GET OFF THE PROBLEM EXISTED BEFORE REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION SPEED SENSOR THEN A FEW WEEKS AFTER IT WAS REPLACED I OWN A USED VEHICLE I'M NOT SURE MY VEHICLE RECEIVED ANY SAFETY RECALL PROCEDURES BUT IT NEEDS TO

WHILE SITTING AT A LIGHT. MY JEEP JUST DIED OUT ON ME. NO REASON NOTHING ACTING OUTSIDE OF THE NORMAL. TRIED TO RESTART AND AFTER A FEW TRIES WAS ABLE TO RESTART.

JEEP LOSES POWER AND SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING IN CITY AND ON THE HIGHWAY AT RANDOM SPEEDS. ALSO WILL SHUT DOWN WHILE STATIONARY. CAUSES LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS NOT COME ON. THE ONLY WAY TO RESTART IS TO FULLY PLACE IN PARK AND COMPLETELY REMOVE THE KEY. VIOLENT SHUT DOWN AND TRANSMISSION IS NOT SHIFTING CORRECTLY. I HAVE HAD THE ASD RELAY REPLACED AND WIRING CHECKED WITH NO FIX. VERY DANGEROUS WITH MY 3 YEAR OLD IN THE CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE HESITATED WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND STALLED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAITED APPROXIMATELY TEN MINUTES AND THE VEHICLE RESTARTED NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (ZIMMERMAN MOTORS, 1301 MARKET STREET, SUNBURY, PA 17801), BUT THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN FOR THE PAST FOUR MONTHS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THREE INDEPENDENT MECHANICS, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 128,000.

INTERMITTENT STARTING ISSUE. THE JEEP WILL DRIVE FINE BUT ONCE YOU TURN IT OFF IT IS A COIN TOSS WHETHER IT WILL START AGAIN. I HAVE FOUND THAT IF YOU CRAWL UNDERNEATH THE JEEP AND PUSH IN ON THE YELLOW WIRE CONNECTED TO THE STARTER, IT WILL IMMEDIATELY START. IT IS OBVIOUSLY A POORLY DESIGNED CONNECTOR, AS IT IS OBVIOUSLY NOT WEATHER PROOF BUT IT IS IN AN AREA THAT NEEDS TO BE WATER TIGHT. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE ONLINE, BUT WHEN YOU CALL THE DEALERSHIPS THEY TELL YOU THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS ISSUE.

UPON HAVING THE IGNITION SWITCH SAFETY RECALL PERFORMED ON MY JEEP, I AM NOW PUTTING IN THE 5TH STARTER ON MY JEEP. SINCE THIS RECALL HAS BEEN DONE, I'M REPLACING STARTERS AS FREQUENTLY AS I AM DOING OILCHANGES

INSTRUMENTS LIGHTS OFF AND ON(BATTERY, CHECK ENGINE, AIR BAGS, BREAKS, ETC), TRANSMISSION OVERHEAT INFORMATION LIGHT, VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING OR WON'T START OR LOOSE POWER,COMPUTER TELLS MECHANICS A NEW MODULE NEEDED, BUT NEW MODULE DO NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. HAD TRANSMISSION SERVICES, AND MECHANIC CHECK OUT, BUT NOTHING WORKED.
