2007 Jeep Commander Complaint Log

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, ALL OF THE LIGHTS IN THE INSTRUMENTAL PANEL ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

SINCE I PURCHASED MY JEEP COMMANDER I HAVE EXPERIENCE TOTAL ELECTRICAL FAILURE WHILE DRIVING ON MANY OCCASIONS. THIS HAPPENS APPROXIMATELY EVERY 6 MONTHS. WHILE DRIVING IN SPEEDS VARYING FROM 20 - 70 MILES AN HOUR MY CAR WILL LOSE POWER. PRIOR TO LOSING POWER ALL DASH LIGHTS, TACHOMETERS, HAZARDS, WARNING LIGHTS AND PERFORMANCE INDICATORS WILL FLASH REPEATEDLY, VERY QUICKLY. WITHIN MOMENTS OF THE FLASHING LIGHTS MY GAS WILL SHUT OFF, MY BRAKE SYSTEM COMPLETELY FAILS AND MY STEERING WILL COMPLETELY LOCK UP. I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO WAY OF CONTROLLING MY VEHICLE IN ANY MANNER. SEVERAL TIMES MY VEHICLE HAS STOPPED IN MAJOR TRAFFIC. NUMEROUS TIMES OTHER VEHICLES HAVE HAD TO MAKE DRASTIC MANEUVERS TO AVOID CRASHING INTO MY CAR. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED AND WAS NEARLY T-BONED WHEN MY CAR DIED AS I ATTEMPTED TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN. IN THE EVENT THAT I AM HIT, MY AIRBAGS HAVE NO POWER AND WILL NOT DEPLOY. MY WINDOWS AND LOCKS HAVE NO POWER. MY CHILDREN AND I COULD BE TRAPPED IN MY CAR. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED IT AT AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT AND WILL NOT PROVIDE A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE THAT IS NOT A DEATH TRAP. I HAVE CALLED THE CHRYSLER RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER AND WAS TOLD NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE AND HAVE NO INDICATION AS TO WHEN OR IF THERE EVER WILL BE. I CANNOT SELL MY CAR BECAUSE NO ONE WILL BUY IT KNOWING IT HAS SUCH MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES. THIS IS THE ONLY VEHICLE I OWN. I HAVE 3 CHILDREN THAT DRIVE IN THIS CAR EVERYDAY. ONE OF MY CHILDREN HAS CANCER AND I NEED A SAFE RELIABLE CAR TO TAKE HIM FOR CHEMOTHERAPY TREATMENTS. CHRYSLER IS NOT ACCEPTING ANY RESPONSIBILITY EVEN THOUGH I WAS MAILED A RECALL NOTICE. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

I OWN A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER AT ABOUT 10,000 MILES IT STARTED TO STALL AND TURN OFF. DEALER DID NOT REPLACE ANY PARTS ONLY FLUSHED THE ON BOARD COMPUTER AND UPDATED THE SOFTWARE. MONTHS LATER IT STARTED TO DO THE SAME THING. DEALER DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND PERFORMED THE SAME TASK OF FLUSHING THE COMPUTER AND UPDATING ITS SOFTWARE. TWO YEARS AND 23,000 MILES AND THE CAR IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY SO I'M GOING BACK TO THE DEALER, BUT I DON'T THINK THEY WE FIX THE PROBLEM . 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.

DUE TO COLD AIR BLOWING FROM THE DEFROSTER ON WINDSHIELD, WINDSHIELD BUILDS UP WITH ICE AND SNOW, AND DOES NOT DEFROST PROPERLY. *TR

ERIE, PA 11/3/08 SEARCH UNDER RUMSEY, JOANN THE NEWSPAPERS DESCRIBE IT ALL AND PICTURES SPEAK A THOUSAND WORDS. THIS 2007 JEEP COMMANDER CRASHED BY STALLING AT A HIGH SPEED CLAIMING THE LIVES OF A YOUNG WOMAN 40 YEARS OLD AND HER 2 CHILDREN WHO WERE 4 YRS OLD AND 18 MONTHS OLD. PLEASE SEARCH AND REVIEW THIS INCIDENT BEFORE SELECTING TO PUT YOUR FAMILY IN A BRAND NEW JEEP VEHICLE. A 5 STAR CRASH RATING WILL NOT DO MUCH GOOD IF THE VEHICLE STALLS AT A HIGH SPEED AND THE DRIVER IS UNABLE TO CONTROL SUCH VEHICLE. PLEASE, IF YOU HAVE A FAMILY REVIEW THIS BEFORE PURCHASING A JEEP PRODUCT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE FAILURE OCCURRED MORE THAN ONCE. THE MOST RECENT FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING.

2007 JEEP COMMANDER WINDSHIELDS ARE FLAWED, AND CRACK EASILY. SPREADING ACROSS THE WHOLE WINDSHIELD. I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE WINDSHIELD REPLACED ONCE SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED IT IN APRIL 08, AND 1/2 YEAR LATER BOTH SIDES HAVE CRACKS IN IT. I BELIEVE THE DESIGN OR CURVE MAY BE TOO 'FRAGILE' FOR SAFETY, NOT TO MENTION MY BUDGET! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS, THE ENGINE STALLED UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE PROCEEDING TO A COMPLETE STOP.

THIS PROBLEM BEGAN IN THE FALL OF 2008. TYPICALLY, AFTER SHIFTING THE CAR INTO DRIVE, THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST IDLE SPEED, HAVE A MODERATE BUCKING, ALL GEAR SELECTOR LIGHTS ON THE DASH WERE BOXED IN, AND AN ERROR MESSAGE WOULD READ "SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM". THE PROBLEM WAS SERVICED UNDER WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP CHECKED WIRES AND CONNECTORS, AND REPLACED THE BEZEL ASSEMBLY ON SHIFTER. THIS SEEMED TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM UNTIL RECENTLY. BEGINNING A FEW MONTHS AGO, AROUND THE BEGINNING OF 2012, I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS: ALL GEAR SELECTOR LIGHTS ILLUMINATED, NO ACCELERATION FOR 10-15 SECONDS, AND SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM MESSAGE. THE PROBLEM OCCURS ALMOST ALWAYS IN THE MORNING ON THE WAY TO WORK, SCHOOL, ETC.. IT HAS NEVER LASTED LONGER THAN 15-20 SECONDS ON ANY DAY, AND SEEMS TO OCCUR APPROXIMATELY ONE TO TWO TIMES PER WEEK, OVER THE LAST 4 WEEKS. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT LATER THIS WEEK AT A DEALER TO CHECK OUT THE PROBLEM. BUT READING SEVERAL INTERNET SOURCES, THIS OBVIOUSLY NOT AN ISOLATED ISSUE, AS THERE ARE MANY ACCOUNTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM. *JS

THE ABOVE INFORMATION WAS FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED THE CAR WILL STALL OUT OF NO WHERE DUE TO THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE. I HAD IT REPLACED 11/08 WHICH WAS ONLY A YEAR AFTER THE CAR WAS MADE. IT IS COMPLETELY ACTING UP AGAIN AND THE MODULE NEEDS REPLACED AGAIN. I UNDERSTAND THAT THEY HAVE NOT RECALLED THIS ISSUE BUT THERE ARE OVER 145 COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE BUT YET ON YOUR WEBSITE IT SAYS A RECALL IS NECESSARY WHEN THERE IS A SAFETY-RELATED DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE OR EQUIPMENT. A SAFETY DEFECT IS DEFINED AS A PROBLEM THAT EXISTS IN A MOTOR VEHICLE OR ITEM OF MOTOR VEHICLE EQUIPMENT THAT: POSES A RISK TO MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY. EXAMPLES OF DEFECTS CONSIDERED SAFETY-RELATED:STEERING COMPONENTS THAT BREAK SUDDENLY CAUSING PARTIAL OR COMPLETE LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL. ACCELERATOR CONTROLS THAT MAY BREAK OR STICK. CRITICAL VEHICLE COMPONENTS THAT BREAK, FALL APART, OR SEPARATE FROM THE VEHICLE, CAUSING POTENTIAL LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL OR INJURY TO PERSONS INSIDE OR OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. ALONG WITH THE ABOVE I HAVE CHILDREN AND IF THEY ARE INSIDE THIS VEHICLE WHILE SOMETHING HAPPENS JUST WAIT UNTIL I SLAP THE LAWSUIT ALONG WITH THE MANY OTHERS AS A RESULT OF THIS ISSUE THAT NOBODY IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT. I ALMOST WAS REAR ENDED ON THE EXPRESSWAY BY VEHICLES GOING 75 MPH BECAUSE OF THE CAR STALLING/NOT WANTING TO ACCELERATE! I WANT ANSWERS AND I WANT THEM NOW!

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

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

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT HAD ASSISTANCE WITH MOVING THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, THE ENGINE RESTARTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE RPM'S RACED WITHOUT PRESSURE BEING APPLIED TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE COMPUTERIZED SYSTEM WAS RESET, BUT THERE WERE NO RESOLUTIONS. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED FOR THE MALFUNCTIONS. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED OF THE SAFETY RISK INVOLVED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 14,000. UPDATED 11/07/08 *BF

I HAVE HAD MY 07 JEEP COMMANDER (3.6 V6) SINCE JANUARY 2008. I HAVE NOTICE NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE DRIVING FROM A COMPLETE STOP, THAT MY VEHICLE WILL LOSE POWER AND START TO SPUTTER WHEN I TRY TO APPLY THE GAS AND THE CAR MOVES VERY SLOW AS IN LESS THAN 20MPH. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME NUMEROUS TIMES AND MAKES ME VERY UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING KNOWING THAT MY CAR CAN STOP AND LEAVE ME VULNERABLE TO BEING REAR-ENDED AT INTERSECTIONS OR COMMON STOPS. I NOTICE WHEN THIS HAPPENS THAT MY VEHICLE CLUSTER DISPLAYS "SERVICE PARK ASSIST" AND THE SERVICE PARK ASSIST LIGHT COMES ON UNCONTROLLABLY AND AT THE SAME TIME MY DASH/ CLUSTER ALSO DISPLAYS ( [P][R][N][D] ) ALL AT ONCE AS IF THE VEHICLE DOES NOT KNOW WHAT GEAR IT IS IN. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR A VEHICLE THAT IS SUPPOSED TO PROVIDE A SAFE DRIVING EXPERIENCE. I ALSO FIND IT VERY DISAPPOINTING THAT NUMEROUS PEOPLE ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES AND INTERNET/ FORUMS ALL HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND CHRYSLER TRIES TO NARROW IT DOWN TO A SELECT YEAR. MODEL. AND ENGINE. MY VEHICLE HAS THE SAME ISSUES AS THE PREVIOUS RECALL FOR THE 2007 4.7 V8 ENGINES, YET CHRYSLER IGNORES THE COMMUNITY OF JEEP COMMANDER OWNERS WITH THE 3.6 V6 ENGINE THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE IS ALSO A TSB (18-004-09 REV. A) THAT DESCRIBES THE CLUNKING AND HESITATION YOU FEEL WHEN TRYING TO GET UP TO SPEED. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING A CUSTOMER SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR. MY VEHICLE IS A 2007 WITH LESS THAN 40,000 MILES ON IT AND I SHOULD BE ABLE TO ENJOY MY VEHICLE SAFELY DURING THIS TIME PERIOD. ANOTHER PROBLEM IS THAT THE VEHICLE DOES THIS AT RANDOM SO YOU CAN'T JUST TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND SHOW THEM THE PROBLEM. I'M SURE THEY WOULD GLADLY TAKE MY MONEY AND LET ME SPEND 1000+ DOLLARS FOR NEW PARTS, BUT I HAVE AN 8YR/80,000 MILE WARRANTY PURCHASED FROM CHRYSLER AND WILL NOT PAY FOR DIAGNOSTIC AFTER DIAGNOSTIC TO TRY AND REPLICATE A PROBLEM THAT IS CLEARLY THERE... *TR

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT APPROX 60MPH AND VEHICLE ENGINE SHUTS OFF. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THIS HAPPENED TWICE THAT DAY... *TR

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.

BASICALLY THE ENGINE STALLS OUT WHILE VEHICLE IS AT IDLE. ENGINE RPM'S WILL INCREASE UP TO 1200 AND THEN DROP TO ABOUT 3000 RPMS, AND SOMETIMES LOWER THEN THIS; ALMOST TO THE POINT OF KILLING THE ENGINE. IT HAS OCCUR TWICE TO ME, AND THREE TIMES TO MY WIFE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE IDLED HIGH AND THEN LOW. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES.

A FEW DAYS LATER, WHILE ATTEMPTING TO STOP AT STOP LIGHT, THE FAILURE RECURRED EXCEPT THIS TIME THE CONTROL PANEL FAILED AS WELL. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE. THERE ARE NO RECALLS LISTED AT THIS TIME; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME FAILURES LISTED IN DEFECT INVESTIGATION NUMBER EA07007. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED AND REMAINS AT THE DEALER. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 11,000.

ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE WENT OUT AGAIN. *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

I OWN A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. A SMALL ROCK HIT MY WINDSHIELD AND THE GLASS BREAKAGE SPREAD QUICKLY ACROSS TO THE MIDDLE OF THE ENTIRE SHIELD. THIS SMALL ROCK WOULD ONLY HAVE MAYBE BEEN A TINY NICK ON ANY OTHER VEHICLE WINDSHIELD. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE EDMUNDS FORUM FOR THIS PROBLEM, EVERYONE WITH A JEEP COMMANDER HAS THIS PROBLEM AND HAS BEEN UNABLE TO GET CHRYSLER TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. IT IS A DESIGN FLAW AND POOR QUALITY OF WINDSHIELD. SOME PEOPLE HAVE REPLACED AS MANY AS 4 WINDSHIELDS EACH YEAR OF THE COMMANDER OWNERSHIP. I HAD ONLY DRIVEN MY JEEP APPROXIMATELY 1000 MILES WHEN IT HAPPENED. THE REPLACEMENT IS $500.00 AND I KNOW THAT IT WILL CRACK AGAIN WHEN REPLACED. DUE TO THE DANGER IN THE GLASS, I WOULD LIKE YOUR HELP IN GETTING SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU. JAN HARPER *TR

SHE IS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE OVER 30 MPH. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY ADVISED HER TO BRING IN THE VEHICLE TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 08V203000 (POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM, PCM)) WAS FOUND FOR THE 2006 COMMANDERS. THE MILEAGES WERE UNAVAILABLE.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR CONTINUES TO GO OFF FOR NO REASON. CHECK ALL TIRES AND THEY ARE INFLATED PROPERLY AT 35 PSI (SPARE TOO). THE JEEP COMMANDER HAS BEEN IN 8 TIMES TO TWO DEALERS WITH NO AVAIL. THEY REPLACED THE RECEIVER MODULE AND 2 SENSORS (OR AT LEAST THEY TOLD ME THEY DID) AND STILL CONTINUE TO GET TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR WARNING ON THE DASH OF THE JEEP. ISSUE OCCURS SPORADICALLY, BUT MAINLY ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING 70 MPH. INCIDENT DATE IS INACCURATE AS SELECTED BELOW AS THIS HAS HAPPEN NUMEROUS TIMES OF THE PAST YEAR/YEAR AND HALF. *TR

I HAVE OWNED MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER FOR ABOUT TEN MONTHS NOW. THE PROBLEM I HAVE IS WHEN MY KNEE BUMPS THE BOTTOM OF THE IGNITION KEY (TURNING IT TO THE LEFT, & SHUTTING THE VEHICLE OFF) WHICH IS UNUSUALLY LOCATED AT THE BOTTOM PORTION OF THE CONSOLE (I GUESS THIS VEHICLE WASN'T MEANT FOR TALL PEOPLE). WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY SHUTS OFF, CAUSING THE POWER STEERING TO SHUT OFF AS WELL. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES NOW. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS THURSDAY, JUNE 12, 2008 AROUND 11:15 AM. I WAS DRIVING MY 1 YEAR OLD SON TO THE BABYSITTERS HOUSE. MY KNEE BUMPED THE KEY AS I WAS APPROACHING A TURN, SHUTTING OFF THE VEHICLE/POWER STEERING, SO I KEPT GOING STRAIGHT, AND NEARLY CRASHED. LUCKILY, I SLAMMED THE BRAKES AND STOPPED JUST IN TIME. AFTER THIS INCIDENT I REALIZED HOW SERIOUS THE PROBLEM REALLY IS. ALTHOUGH I HAVE TO DRIVE IT AT THE MOMENT (BACKWARDS, SO I CAN'T AFFORD TO TRADE IT IN), I HAVE BECOME LEERY AND UNCOMFORTABLE WITH MY COMMANDER BECAUSE OF WHAT COULD HAPPEN TO MY CHILD, ME, OR SOMEONE ELSE IF (OR RATHER WHEN) THIS HAPPENS AGAIN. I AM NOW CONSTANTLY TRYING TO STAY AWARE OF WHERE MY RIGHT KNEE IS AT ALL TIMES. INSTEAD OF REPORTING THIS TO MY DEALERSHIP (I KNOW THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT DESIGN FLAWS). I HAVE DECIDED TO GO STRAIGHT TO THE NHTSA. PLEASE HELP! *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

TRANSMISSION NOT SHIFTING, WHEN @ A COMPLETE STOP POSITION, CAR LUNGES FORWARD WITHOUT ANY ACCELERATION PEDAL PRESSURE, WHILE DRIVING ALL "PRNDL " LIGHTS CAME ON THEN CAR WOULD NOT GO OVER 30 MPH EVEN THOUGH I AM STEPPING ON ACCELERATION PEDAL, WHEN PUTTING CAR IN DRIVE AND STEPPING ON ACCELERATION PEDAL, ENGINE REVS BUT WILL NOT GO, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNS ON, CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING @ 65 MPH. ENGINE STALLING AND CUTTING OFF FAILURE AND HAS OCCURRED @ LEAST 5 TIMES. THE CONSEQUENCES HAVE BEEN THAT I COULD HAVE BEEN IN 2 CAR ACCIDENTS WITH 3 YEAR OLD SON IN CAR. I ALSO HAVE SPEND TIME OFF FROM WORK DUE TO DAMAGES AND SPENT OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES ON RENTAL CARS. I NOW HAVE A FEAR OF DRIVING. DUE TO THE CAR LUNGING I HAVE ALMOST REAR ENDED 10 CARS, ON 10 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. I HAVE TAKEN CAR TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR REPAIRS WITH NO SUCCESS. THEY HAVE UPDATED SOFTWARE, PERFORMED PCM REFLASH, REC THROTTLE BODY AND INJECTOR SERVICE, REPLACED ESM MODULE, REPLACED SOCKET. *TR

I OWN A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING IT, I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY THAT RUNS THROUGH MY TOWN AT ABOUT 40 MPH AND THE VEHICLE STALLED OUT. I TRIED TO GIVE IT SOME GAS TO GO BUT I KEPT DECELERATING. I SHIFTED MY GEAR SHIFT TO PARK, SHUT IT OFF AND RESTARTED MY CAR AND IT WENT BACK TO RUNNING NORMALLY FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. IT HAPPENED 4 MORE TIMES BEFORE I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A COMPUTER ERROR AND THEY CORRECTED IT. TWO WEEKS LATER, I LEFT MY DRIVEWAY AND WAS HEADING DOWN MY STREET AND MY CAR STARTED BUCKING UNCONTROLLABLY. I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND WAITED A FEW SECONDS BEFORE SHIFTING BACK TO DRIVE. I CAME TO A STOP SIGN A FEW BLOCKS LATER AND MY JEEP STALLED OUT AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 4 OR 5 TIMES SINCE I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. I'M AFRAID THAT THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE FOR ME OR MY FAMILY AND I AM STARTING TO REGRET THIS PURCHASE. *TR

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

I HAVE A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER AND IT IS LESS THAN FOUR YEARS OLD AND I HAVE HAD THE STARTER REPLACED 4 TIMES. JEEP CAN'T EXPLAIN WHY THEY CAN'T FULLY FIX THE PROBLEM AND THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THE COMMANDERS AT LARGE AND NOT MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE. IN ADDITION TO HAVING HAD THE STARTER REPLACED 4 TIMES, I HAVE ALSO HAD THE ELECTRONIC SHIFTING MODULE REPLACED AS WELL AND THE CRANKSHAFT. MY COMMANDER HAS LESS THAN 40,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED SINCE I PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW. JEEP HAS FAILED TO ADDRESS MY CONCERNS AND REFUSES TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR SELLING ME A VEHICLE. JEEP SUGGESTED I PURCHASE A NEW VEHICLE AND I FIND THIS PREPOSTEROUS DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE CAR IS LESS THAN FOUR YEARS OLD. THE COMMANDER IS CLEARLY DEFECTIVE AND JEEP NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT. INSTEAD, JEEP REFUSES TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY AND THEY DECIDED TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM BY HALTING PRODUCTION. *TT

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH IN DRY CONDITIONS, THE ENGINE FAILED AND THE VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE CONTACT HAD TO WAIT A FEW SECONDS BEFORE THE VEHICLE WOULD RESTART. PRIOR TO THE FAILURE, THE RPM GAUGES STOPPED WORKING. THE CONTACT SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 30,000.

I OWN A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER WHICH I PURCHASED USED IN MAY OF 2007. MY JEEP STALLED ON ME AS I WAS SITTING IN TRAFFIC WITH NO WARNING. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING UNTIL IT GETS WORSE. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THEY SCANNED THE VEHICLE AND NO ERROR CODES CAME UP. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ON THE INTERNET, I FOUND OUT THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH 2006 AND 2007 COMMANDERS. GOING FORWARD I AM GOING TO BE NERVOUS DRIVING MY VEHICLE FOR FEAR THAT THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN AND IT MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I DO NOT WANT TO SPEND HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TRYING TO FIND OUT THE PROBLEM ONLY TO HAVE THEM KEEP TELLING ME THAT THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS. PLEASE HELP. *TR

FIRSTLY, THE EVENT THAT BROUGHT THIS LETTER ABOUT TOOK PLACE ON 03/28/2008 AT 7:30 PM. THE JEEP COMMANDER I OWN SMASHED INTO MY HOUSE. WE BEGAN BBQ-ING ABOUT 6:00 PM. WHILE THE FOOD WAS COOKING WE SAT IN MY JEEP WITH THE DOORS OPEN AND ENGINE OFF. (THE PORCH WAS WET) AFTER THE FOOD WAS DONE, I TOOK IT INSIDE AND MY 6 YEAR OLD SON DYLAN STAYED OUTSIDE TO PLAY FOR A FEW MORE MINUTES. DYLAN WAS IN THE FRONT SEAT PRETENDING TO DRIVE. THE KEYS TO THE VEHICLE WERE INSIDE THE HOUSE AND WE LIVE ON A SECLUDED PIECE OF LAND IN THE COUNTRY, SO I SAW NO HARM IN THIS. HOWEVER, A FEW MINUTES LATER WHEN I HEARD A CRASH AND FELT MY HOUSE MOVE, I HAD SECOND THOUGHTS! AT FIRST I DIDN'T ACTUALLY REALIZE WHAT HAD HAPPENED; I WAS SEARCHING THE HOUSE FOR WHAT COULD HAVE CAUSED SUCH A RACKET. THEN MY SON CAME IN THE HOUSE HYSTERICALLY CRYING. ALL HE COULD MANAGE WAS, 'THE CAR, THE CAR'. AT FIRST I THOUGHT HE MEANT A TOY CAR AND THEN AS I RUSHED OUTSIDE TO FIND THE CAUSE OF HIS HYSTERIA I DISCOVERED MY JEEP HAD CRASHED INTO MY HOUSE. AS I WAS STUNNED AND STARING AT THE UNBELIEVABLE SITE BEFORE ME, MY SON WAS STILL PANIC-STRICKEN AND SOBBING. I THOUGHT AT FIRST THAT HE HAD TAKEN MY KEYS AND STARTED THE CAR, BUT THE CAR WASN'T RUNNING AND I FOUND MY KEYS NEATLY ON THEIR HOOK, AS ALWAYS. DYLAN COULDN'T MAKE ANY FUNCTIONAL SENTENCES TO EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED SO I BEGAN TO INVESTIGATE. I FOUND THE GEARSHIFT IN REVERSE, BUT THERE WERE NO KEYS IN THE CAR. SINCE I HAD RETRIEVED MY KEYS, I BACKED THE CAR UP TO ITS USUAL POSITION TO CHECK OUT THE DAMAGE. I CONTINUED MY INVESTIGATION AND FOUND THAT EVEN WITH NO KEY IN THE IGNITION AND NO FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE GEARSHIFT WOULD EASILY SHIFT FROM PARK TO ANY OTHER GEAR. SO DUE TO THIS MALFUNCTION, DYLAN'S INNOCENT PRETEND 'DRIVING' BECAME REAL AND RESULTED IN A REAL ACCIDENT THAT COULD HAVE SERIOUSLY INJURED HIM OR ONE OF MY OTHER CHILDREN AND DID REAL DAMAGE THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS MY HOUSE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS DURING RAINY WEATHER, RAIN WATER WOULD LEAK INTO THE VEHICLE ONTO THE DASHBOARD AND INTERIOR FLOOR. THE DEALER DRAINED THE WATER FROM THE VEHICLE DRAIN YET THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE CONTACT CONFIRMED THE FAILURE OCCURRED SINCE THE DATE OF PURCHASE. THERE WERE NO FURTHER REPAIRS MADE TO THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 27,000.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY DOING APPROX 112 KM/HR WHEN MY VEHICLE A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER LOST ALL POWER, ALL SYSTEMS WENT COMPLETELY DEAD FOR APPROX 5 SECONDS, JUST AS I STARTED TO PANIC EVERYTHING STARTED UP AGAIN. MY YOUNG DAUGHTER AND I WERE SCARED DRIVING THE REST OF THE WAY HOME WORRIED IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED IT FROM ST. ALBERT DODGE JEEP AND BOOKED IT IN FOR A CHECK. THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD FIND NOTHING AND THAT THEY HAD NOT HEARD OF ANY SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THESE VEHICLES. I TOLD THEM I WAS NOT PICKING IT UP UNTIL IT WAS RESOLVED AS I HAVE 4 YOUNG CHILDREN AND DO NOT WANT THE VEHICLE DYING ON ME AGAIN WHILE DRIVING. AT THIS POINT I WENT ONLINE TO SEE WHAT I COULD FIND AND WAS SHOCKED TO DISCOVER THAT 76 OTHER COMPLAINTS HAD BEEN LODGED NHTSA ACTION NUMBER EA07007. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THEY KNEW NOTHING ABOUT THIS AND FOR ME TO BRING IN THE INFORMATION WHEN I PICK UP MY VEHICLE. *TR

NEW VEHICLE STALLS WHILE DRIVING AT CERTAIN SPEEDS. ALWAYS BETWEEN 35 AND 55 MPH ON ACCELERATION. HAS BEEN TO DEALERSHIP TWICE SO FAR AND TOLD NOTHING IS SHOWING FOR DIAGNOSTIC CODES. *TR

WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE MY VEHICLE HESITATES AND THEN SHUTS OFF. THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD ILLUMINATE BUT THE CAR IS NO LONGER RUNNING. THIS HAPPENS AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH AND HAS BEEN IN FOR SERVICE AND THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED. *TR
