WERE INFORMED BY THE DEALER THAT THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE WAS FAULTY AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED.

ENGINE STALLING OR NOT STARTING. ENGINE STALLED WHILE MAKING A TURN. CAR STARTED IMMEDIATELY AFTER BUT ENGINE AND OIL LIGHTS REMAINED ON. SERVICE DEPARTMENT REPLACED CENSORS BUT THAT DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. SPORADICALLY STALLS AT TAKE OFF, WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO TURN/STOP, WHEN CRUISE CONTROL IS DISENGAGED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. ON HIGHWAY, HIT BRAKE TO DISENGAGE CC AND SWITCH LANES, CAR STALLED, TURNED THE KEY WITHOUT PUTTING IT IN PARK OR STOPPING AND ENGINE KICKED BACK IN. CAR WOULDN'T START ON ONE OCCASION AND SERVICE DEPARTMENT REPLACED ALTERNATOR BUT PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. SERVICE DEPARTMENT REPLACED IGNITION SWITCH BUT PROBLEM PERSISTS WITH CAR NOT STARTING.

THE SEAT BELTS IN MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER MALFUNCTION. THE THIRD ROW SEAT BUCKLES HAVE CRACKED MAKING THEM VERY DIFFICULT TO GET THE BELT INTO THE BUCKLE. AT TIMES THE BELTS WILL EVEN UNLATCH ON THEIR OWN. ONE OF THE BUCKLES HAD SHATTERED AND IS NOW COMPLETELY INOPERABLE. THIS IS ALSO HAPPENING TO THE SECOND ROW SEATS AS WELL AS THE PASSENGER SEAT. HAVING THREE CHILDREN WITH CAR SEATS IN THE CAR, THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. ESPECIALLY SINCE THEY CAN DETACH AT ANY TIME. IT ALSO MAKES ME VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SECURITY OF THE BELTS IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. I HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE REGARDING THE 2006-2007 MODEL YEARS HAVING SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH THE SEAT BELTS. *TR

THE VEHICLE'S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON FOLLOWED BY ALL OF THE SHIFT LOCATIONS ON THE DASH LIGHTED UP. NEXT THE SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM WARNING ON THE DASH. THE NEXT THING IS THE ENGINE BOGS DOWN AND YOU CANNOT GO OVER 20 MPH. WE PULL OFF THE ROAD AND RESTART THE ENGINE AND CONTINUE ON UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN. THIS IS A MAJOR DESIGN FLAW AS IT HAS ALMOST CAUSED 2 POTENTIALLY FATAL CAR ACCIDENTS ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY WIFE AND BABY.

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

AFTER IGNITION THE "SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM" WARNING COMES UP IN THE CONTROL PANEL, THEN THE REST OF THE WARNING LIGHTS TURN ON, THEN AFTER DRIVING NOTICED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WAS NOT WORKING, THEN THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL WHILE DRIVING, THE ACCELERATOR DOES NOT RESPOND, I WAS ABLE TO PARK ON THE SIDE OF THE STREET, LUCKILY IT WAS NOT A HEAVY TRAFFIC STREET. *TR

THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE WAS 8/5/14 - COMPLETE ENGINE STALL WHILE DRIVING (APPROXIMATELY 40MPG), STEERING WHEEL AND ALL OTHER POWER FEATURES LOCKED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. PUT THE CAR IN PARK THEN RE-STARTED. *TR

THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED, BECAUSE THE VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE A RECALL, AND THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE DEALER STATED THE FAILURE COULD ONLY BE DUPLICATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS EXPERIENCING THE ACTUAL FAILURE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT YET TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS.

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

PURCHASED USED IN SPRING 2008 WITH APPROX. 30K MILES, IN SPRING OF 2010 HAD SEVERAL WEEKS OF ISSUES RANGING FROM VEHICLE CUTTING OFF RANDOMLY, VEHICLE JUMPING WHILE AT STOP LIGHTS, HESITATING TO GO INTO 2ND AND 3RD GEAR AND THEN THE 'SERVICE PARK ASSIST' LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE ALONG WITH THE GEAR INDICATOR LIGHTS BEING ALL HIGHLIGHTED. OBVIOUSLY THE DEALER COULD NOT REPRODUCE THIS BUT REPLACED THE 'SHIFTER MECHANISIM / SHIFT LEVER HOUSING, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CONSOLE SHIFTER' AND NOW IN JANUARY OF 2013 AT 83369 MILES, WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM LUNCH WE COULD NOT GET THE VEHICLE TO COME OUT OF FIRST AND THE GEAR INDICATOR LIGHTS WERE ALL HIGHLIGHTED. AND FOR ABOUT 2 OR MORE MONTHS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES AS BEFORE WITH THE VEHICLE CUTTING OFF, ACCELERATION ISSUES, JUMPING WHILE IN DRIVE AT A STOP LIGHT. WAITING FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO CALL BACK BECAUSE ITS A JEEP AND YOU CANT HAVE NEWER JEEPS REPAIRED BY ANYONE OTHER THAN A DEALERSHIP. COMPLETE RACKET. NOT TO MENTION THAT YOU CAN'T EVEN CHECK THE TRANSMISSION FLUID, THAT HAS TO BE DONE BY A DEALERSHIP ALSO. WILL NOT BUY JEEP AGAIN! EVER!!!!! *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

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

SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM WOULD COME UP AND P R N D WOULD LIGHT UP, THEN JEEP WOULD NOT ACCELERATE UNTIL I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL OR PARK AND THEN BACK INTO DRIVE. A COUPLE OF TIMES WHEN IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE IT HAD COMPLETELY STALLED OUT FOR NO REASON. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITENTLY DURING THIS TIME. ALSO, MANUAL SHIFT BEVEL STOPPED WORKING ABOUT 4 MONTHS AFTER GETTING THE VEHICLE (STILL COVERED BY WARRANTY) AND WAS REPLACED, STOPPED WORKING ABOUT 5 MONTHS AFTER THAT AND WAS REPLACED WITH THE WARRANTY BUT THEN STOPPED WORKING AGAIN ABOUT 3 MONTHS LATER AND IS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY ANY LONGER. ABOUT 1 MONTH AGO HEARD A LOUD NOISE AS I WAS GOING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE AND NOW EVERYTIME IT SHIFTS FROM FIRST TO SECOND OR SECOND TO FIRST IT SHIFTS VERY HARD. *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

2007 JEEP COMMANDER, STARTED WITH "SERVICE PARK ASSIST" LIGHT COMING ON ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE, THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE THE PROBLEM SO THEY RESET THE SYSTEM. TWO DAYS LATER THE SAME THING BEGAN TO HAPPEN AGAIN, ALONG WITH THE LIGHTS AROUND THE P N R D ON THE DISPLAY COMING ON ALL TOGETHER, THE CAR ALSO THEN BEGAN TO NOT WANT TO ACCELERATE AFTER A CERTAIN POINT. ALMOST ACTING LIKE IT WAS NOT WANTING TO SHIFT TO THE NEXT GEAR. THIS HAPPENED FOR 8 MONTHS, STILL NO SERVICE WAS DONE BECAUSE THEY WERE UNABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM. IT BEGAN TO OCCUR WHILE DRIVING AND COMING TO A STOP AND STARTING TO GO FORWARD AGAIN. CAUSING PROBLEMS CROSSING INTERSECTIONS OR TRAFFIC. HAVE NOW BEEN TOLD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE, WHICH WE DID. THIS DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. IN THE LAST WEEK WERE TOLD TO REPLACE THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE FAILED WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH. THE VEHICLE DECELERATED ABNORMALLY BEFORE STALLING WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER PREVIOUSLY WHO REPLACED THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO RECUR. THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE ONCE AGAIN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED WHO OFFERED TO COVER FIFTY PERCENT OF THE REPAIR COSTS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 112,000.

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

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) 2007 JEEP COMMANDER [XXX] TURN THE IGNITION KEY AND DOES NOT WANT TO START, DID IT IN OCTOBER 2009 AND MARCH 10TH 2010. ALL POWER IS ON, LIGHTS, RADIO, BOOSTED BATTERY, THIS IS NOT THE ISSUE, IT FINALLY TURNED ON IDLED EXTREMELY HIGH, I TURNED IT OFF AND TRIED TO START IT OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND WOULD NOT START. BY REVIEWING THE INTERNET OTHER OWNERS OF THE 2007 JEEP COMMNADER ARE EXPERIENCING ;STALLING AND THE CAR NOT STARTING, IT APPERS TO BE AN ALTERNATOR ISSUE, BUT CHRYSLER IS SAYING THEY DON'T KNOW WHY THIS IS OCCURRING. MY CAR WAS TOWED TO SOUTH POINT DODGE, IN AUSTIN TEXAS FOR DIAGNOSTIC ANALYZING, THEY HAVE NOT TOLD ME WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I AM CONCERNED IF THIS ISSUE IS NATIONWIDE AND CHRYSLER HAS NOT DONE A RECALL. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE IF CARS ARE STALLING ON THE HIGHWAYS AND NOT STARTING, COULD CAUSE A DEATH. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER IMMEDIATELY. [XXX] *TR

2007 JEEP COMMANDER V8 WITH HEMI THE VEHICLE STALLS FOR NO REASON. I COULD BE DRIVING 45MPH THEN FOR NO REASON ALL POWER TO THE VEHICLE FAILS. THIS HAS OCCURRED 5 TIMES IN 1 WEEK. I LOOKED UP RECALLS AND SEE THAT THE 2006 COMMANDER HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM THAT PROMPTED A RECALL OF THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM). I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIPS AND WAS TOLD THAT MY 2007 IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE SAME RECALL, THOUGH THE PROBLEM IS THE SAME. I BELIEVE THAT THE PCM SOFTWARE NEEDS TO BE REPROGRAMMED. THIS FAILURE MAY ALLOW THE ENGINE TO CONTINUE STALLING RESULTING IN A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING. *TR

LOSS OF POWER ON FREEWAY. I HAVE A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER 4.7L V6. TWICE WHILE ON THE FREEWAY THE "SERVICE BACKUP ASSIST" LIGHT COMES ON, THEN ALL THE TRANNY INDICATORS LIGHT UP, AND VEHICLE LOSES ALL POWER.

I CONTACTED JEEP AND WARNED THEM ABOUT THIS BUT THEY WILL NOT INITIATE A RECALL UNTIL FORCED TO DO SO BY THE NHTSA. *TR

TRANSMISSION STALLING WHILE DRIVING- ACCORDING THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND IS ALSO A NOTED PROBLEM IN THESE VEHICLES. THIS SAME VEHICLE HAS ALREADY BEEN RECALLED FOR SIMILAR ISSUE, BUT ONLY FOR THE BIGGER ENGINE SIZE. CHRYSLER HAS INFORMED ME THAT THEY WILL NOT INVESTIGATE EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM IN A DIFFERENT ENGINE SIZE. THE VEHICLE CAN BE TRAVELING AT 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE AND STALL WITHOUT WARNING. IT WILL NOT GO ANY FURTHER WITHOUT STOPPING, TURNING OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTING. THIS HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES DAILY. I HAVE TRIED TO GET FIXED AND WORK WITH THE PROBLEM, BUT AFTER ALMOST BEING REARENDED BY AN 18WHEELER ON THE INTERSTATE TODAY, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. IT IS FOR 2007 JEEP COMMANDER 3.7LT. *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
