ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED ON ME AT LEAST 30 TIMES. IT OCCURS WHILE IDLING AT A STOP AND ALSO AT SLOWER SPEEDS. AFTER RAINY DAYS SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE WON'T START. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT SO THE DEALER CAN'T FIX IT. IT SETS OFF NO ENGINE CODES. I HAVE HAD MANY ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE HOWEVER THIS ONE IS VERY UNSAFE. *TR

TWO INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES, ONE AT DRIVER POSITION AND ONE REAR SEAT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR, HAVE BROKEN AND FAIL TO OPEN THE DOOR WITHOUT GREAT MANIPULATION. I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY OR MY PASSENGERS SAFETY IF I/THEY SHOULD NEED TO EXIT THE VEHICLE QUICKLY. THE DOORS DO NOT OPEN EASILY AT ALL!! *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY
MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER ALONG WITH MANY OTHER OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING CRACKING OF THE INTERIOR DOOR PANEL WHICH HOUSES THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES. THIS RESULTS IN THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE BREAKING OFF, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE FROM THE INSIDE. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND JEEP IS TOTALLY NOT DOING THE RIGHT THING. THEIR SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE DOOR PANEL AT A COST OF AROUND $750 PER DOOR. THE PLASTIC USED AROUND THE DOOR HANDLE IS VERY THIN AND OBVIOUSLY A POOR DESIGN. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER WITH 4.7 LITER V8 HAS STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. IT HAS HAPPENED AT IDLE, WHILE SLOWING, WHILE ACCELERATING, AND WHILE DRIVING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS (60-70 MPH). EACH TIME IT HAS RESTARTED AFTER TAKING THE TRANSMISSION OUT OF GEAR, TURNING THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION, AND RESTARTING THE ENGINE. THIS IS POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS IF IT HAPPENS UNDER THE WRONG CIRCUMSTANCES SINCE YOU, OF COURSE, UNEXPECTEDLY LOSE POWER ASSIST ON BOTH BRAKES AND STEERING WHEN THE ENGINE DIES. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
MY 2008 JEEP COMMANDER OVERLAND EDITION HAS BEEN STALLING OUT AND JUMPING. IT STARTED WITH DYING WHEN I WOULD COME TO A STOP AT A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT. I WOULD PUT IT IN PARK AND IT WOULD CRANK BACK UP. IT THEN GRADUATED TO "JUMPING" WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 60+ MPH. IT WOULD JUMP AS IF IT CAME OUT OF GEAR, BUT THEN KICK BACK IN AND CONTINUE AS IF NOTHING WAS WRONG. IT HAS NOW STARTED JUMPING LIKE THAT AND DYING WHILE DRIVING AT 60+ MPH. IT JUMPS, THEN DIES AND WE LOSE POWER STEERING. IT IS VERY SCARY AND VERY DANGEROUS. THANKFULLY I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PUT IT IN PARK AND IT START RIGHTS BACK UP. I HAVE TAKEN THE JEEP INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND OTHER MECHANICS. I AM ALWAYS TOLD THAT THERE ARE NO WARNINGS THAT SHOW UP IN THE COMPUTER AND THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE, SO THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I AM AFRAID THAT THIS WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY BEFORE ANYTHING IS DONE ABOUT THIS. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ONLINE AND DISCOVERED THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE, BUT NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW THE CAUSE. I ALSO NOTICED THERE WAS A RECALL ON 1338 JEEPS BECAUSE SOME PART WAS CAUSING THEM TO STALL OUT. WHEN I CALLED CHRYSLER, THEY TOLD ME THAT MY JEEP WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I FIND IT STRANGE THAT MY JEEP IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE, BUT I AM BEING TOLD THAT THE RECALL DOESN'T AFFECT ME. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THIS ISSUE WITH MY CAR AND WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT BEFORE ANYONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT. *TR

JUST PURCHASED USED 2007 COMMANDER SPORT V6 AT 58458 MILES... DROVE IT ON VACATION FROM DETROIT TO WILMINGTON, NC APPROX. 900 MILES. TRIP WENT WITHOUT INCIDENT UNTIL WE DROVE DOWN TO SEE THE OCEAN TURNED OFF THE CAR, WALKED ALONG THE BEACH FOR ABOUT A HALF AN HOUR, CAME BACK TO THE CAR, TURNED THE IGNITION AND ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. HOWEVER, ALL THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS SEEM TO BE FUNCTIONING EXCEPT THE STARTER. AT THE DEALER NOW AND WAITING TO SEE WHAT THEY TELL ME. I SPENT 25 PLUS YEARS WORKING IN DEALERSHIPS, MOSTLY CHRYSLER, NOT AS A MECHANIC BUT I HAD MY FAIR SHARE OF EXPOSURE TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. SIGNED, STRANDED IN NC *TR

I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED JEEP AND WORKED WITH A CASE MANAGER WITH THE COMPANY AND THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO HELP ME. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
AFTER A SCHEDULE TUNE UP, WHERE TWO COIL PACKS WERE REPLACED, AND A PCM SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS PERFORMED OUR 2007 JEEP COMMANDER BEGAN STALLING AT SLOW SPEEDS. USUALLY UNDER 20 MPH OR AT A STOP WHEN THE ENGINE IS AT OR NEAR IDLE SPEEDS, THE ENGINE WILL OBRUPTLY STALL WITHOUT WARNING. THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND NO ERROR CODE. OUR LOCAL JEEP DEALER HAS MADE SEVERAL REPAIR ATTEMPTS INCLUDING REPLACING THE PCM, AND SHIELDING THE ENGINE WIRING HARNESS WITH ALUMINUM FOIL. THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. THE KEY MUST BE CYCLED TO THE 'OFF' POSITION TO RESTART THE ENGINE. THE ENGINE HAS STALLED AT HIGH SPEEDS A FEW TIMES MAKING FOR A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

THE CAR WILL SLOW DOWN AND THE SERVICE PARK LIGHT WILL POP ON THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THE DAY I PURCHASED THE CAR. I HAVE TAKEN INTO THE SHOP PLENTY OF TIMES AND THEY KEEP TELLING ME NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS IT HAS ONLY GOTTEN WORSE. IT HAS DONE THIS ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE GOING 75 MILES AN HOUR. I HAVE HAD TO PULL OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WAIT LIKE 5 MINUTES BEFORE I CAN TAKE OFF AGAIN. THIS IS REALLY BECOMING A PROBLEM AND I AM AFRAID TO EVEN PUT MY GRANDBABY IN THE CAR WITH ME BECAUSE I'M AFRAID THIS WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE JUST RECENTLY WENT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME FOR THEM TO CHECK MY CAR AND I HAVE BEEN TELLING THEM THIS ISSUE FROM THE DAY I HAD MY CAR AND MY WARRANTY WAS STILL IN PLACE, BUT THEY CONTINUED TO TELL ME NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE CAR HAS BEEN STALLING OVER THE PAST 4 MONTHS. NORMALLY THE STALLING HAS OCCURRED WHEN THE CAR WAS IDLING. LAST WEEK THE CAR DID THE SAME THING BUT AT A MUCH HIGHER RATE OF SPEED (60 MPH). THE CAR SHUT OFF AND I LOST POWER STEERING. MULTIPLE LIGHTS HAVE BEEN COMING IN THE DASH OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS AND MY AUTOMATIC WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAVE STOPPED WORKING. ALSO, MY AUTOMATIC GATE OPENER SOMETIMES JUST WILL NOT WORK. THERE ARE SIMILAR ISSUES WITH 2006 AND 2008 VEHICLES AND BOTH OF THOSE HAVE RECALLS, BUT I NOTICED THAT THE 2007 DOES NOT. *TR
