AIR BAGS, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WE HAVE REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP 3 TIMES. THIS LAST TIME IT STILL DOES NOT START. THE FUEL PUMP IS GETTING POWER, WE TRACED THE POWER ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE FUEL PUMP AND IT IS GETTING POWER BUT IT IS NOT KICKING ON. WE HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR WIRING DIAGRAMS TO TRACE THE LINES BUT NO AVAIL. IF WE GET IT TO RUN IF IT GETS SHUT OFF WE CANNOT GET IT TO RESTART SOMETIMES FOR DAYS. WE HAVE DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY AT TIMES AND IT WILL START FOR A TIME OR TWO BUT IT GOES BACK TO NOT STARTING AGAIN. WITH THE AIR BAG, THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS COME ON IN THE DASH AND DOES NOT GO OUT.

SEAT BELTS
THE SEAT BELTS IN MY THIRD ROW, WHICH I USE MAYBE 10% OF THE TIME ARE BROKEN. THEY BROKE WAY TOO EARLY IN MY CARS LIFE. I NEVER KNEW THAT I COULD REPORT IT UNTIL MY MECHANIC SAID TO. I CALLED JEEP TO LET THEM KNOW THAT ITS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I WOULD LIKE THEM REPLACED, AND THEY DECLINED TO DO SO. I HAVE HAD MANY JEEP NEW AND VERY OLD AND THE SEAT BELTS WERE NEVER AN ISSUE, WHICH MAKES ME THINK THESE SEAT BELTS WERE DEFECTIVE OR MAYBE THE WAY THE 3RD ROW FOLDS DOWN IS THE CAUSE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I AM GUESSING IT IS "ELECTRICAL". SINCE NEW (2007), THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD PROBLEM WITH INTERMITTENT STARTING. RANDOM, UNPREDICTABLE. TURN KEY TO START, NOTHING HAPPENS, NO CLICK, NOTHING. THERE IS POWER IN ACC POSITION (LIGHTS, DASH, ETC OK). WHEN IT HAPPENS, HAVE BEEN ABLE TO WIGGLE GEAR SHIFTER, PUT IT INTO PARK MULTIPLE TIMES, PUSH ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, WIGGLE SHIFTER MORE.. THEN USUALLY IT STARTS. HAVE ALSO TRIED IT IN NEUTRAL, AND IT STARTED IN NEUTRAL (NOT SAFE). DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT MULTIPLE TMES HAS BEEN UNABLE TO ROOT CAUSE IT OR PERMANENTLY FIX IT. DANGER OF LEAVING OLDER FEMALE DRIVER STRANDED AS IT HAS IN PARKING GARAGES, ETC. ONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO CONFIDENTLY START A VEHICLE THAT HAS NO OTHER PROBLEMS AND IS WELL TAKEN CARE OF. TO STAY WHEN IT HAPPENED - NOT A ONE TIME THING. IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIME OVER THE YEARS, STARTING BACK IN 2007 WHEN IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
1ST MY CAR HAS BEEN HAVING STARTING ISSUES. THE FUEL PUMP WAS CHANGED TWICE AND THAT'S NOT THE ISSUE.IT SEEMS TO BE COMING FROM THE WIRING HEADING INTO THE FUSE PANEL IN THE ENGINE. WHEN I MOVE IT AROUND IT STARTS SOMETIMES. AND ALSO WHEN I PUT BLACK TAPE AROUND THE WIRES IT SEEMS TO CORRECT THE ISSUES FOR WEEKS AT A TIME. THE PROBLEM IS U NEVER KNOW WHEN ITS GONNA START OR NOT. NOW MY ENGINE, TRACTION CONTROL AND ESP/BAS WARNING LIGHTS ARE COMING ON. WHEN THAT HAPPENS THE TRANSMISSION STARTS GOING HAYWIRE AND FEELS LIKE ITS ONLY RUNNING ON 1 GEAR PLUS WHEN I REVERSE IT FEELS LIKE SOMETHING GRINDS IN THE GEARS. HOWEVER WHEN THOSE WARNING LIGHTS GO OFF EVERYTHING SEEMS TO GO BACK TO NORMAL. RECENTLY ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP WARNING CAME ON AND MY AC STOPPED BLOWING COLD AIR AND SHORTLY AFTER THE CAR STALLED IN TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY. THANK GOD I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT BUT THEN IT FELT LIKE THE CAR DROVE ALL THE WAY HOME USING 2ND GEAR ONLY IN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. FROM READING OTHER ISSUES PEOPLE ARE HAVING ONLINE ITS OBVIOUS THIS MODEL IS HAVING MAJOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES THAT NO ONE SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO CORRECT. I AM A JEEP LOVER BUT THIS MODEL HAS COMPLETELY MADE IT DIFFICULT ON ME SINCE ITS MY ONLY CAR AND ITS SO UNRELIABLE. I DON'T HAVE THE MEANS TO REPLACE IT RIGHT NOW SO THIS SITUATION HAS BEEN UNFORTUNATE FOR ME

SEAT BELTS
THE 3RD ROW SEATING BUCKLES IN OUR JEEP COMMANDER BEGAN TO STICK ABOUT 6MOS AFTER PURCHASE. WE NOTICED THE BUCKLE WOULD STICK UNDER THE 3RD ROW SEATING AND THEN THE BUCKLE WOULD NO LONGER UNLATCH AT TIMES. THE BELT WOULD LATCH INTO THE BUCKLE, BUT WOULD GET STUCK INSIDE EVEN WHILE PUSHING THE RELEASE BUTTON. A COUPLE OF WEEKS AFTER THE BUCKLE STICKING THE BUCKLE WOULD ALSO UNLATCH AT ANYTIME WITHOUT PRESSING THE RELEASE BUTTON (WHILE MOVING AND WHILE STATIONARY). DURING THIS TIME THE BUCKLE WAS UNSTABLE AND WE CHOSE TO USE THE PASSENGER SIDE FOR THE MAJORITY OF CAR RIDES, BUT AS WE HAVE A LARGE FAMILY USE OF THE BELT WAS NECESSARY. AT ONE POINT THE BUCKLE BECAME STUCK WHILE MY SON WAS RESTRAINED BY THE BELT. WE HAD TO PRY THE BELT OUT OF THE BUCKLE. FROM THIS POINT ON THE BUCKLE WOULD NO LONGER LATCH. A FEW MONTHS LATER WE NOTICED THE PASSENGER SIDE BUCKLE WOULD RELEASE AT ANY TIME, (MOBILE OR STATIONARY). THE BUCKLE WOULD ALSO STICK AND WOULD NOT RELEASE AT TIMES. IT APPEARS THE PASSENGER SIDE BUCKLE IS NOW UNSAFE AND HAVING THE SAME ISSUES THE DRIVER SIDE BUCKLE CAUSED. THE 3RD ROW SEATING IS ATTACHED TO THE BUCKLES IN A WAY IT SEEMS TO CAUSE THESE ISSUES WITH THE BUCKLE. I HAVE FOUND MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ON GOOGLE FORUMS AND COMPLAINT SITES. THE BUCKLES ARE FAILING DUE TO FAULTY MANUFACTURING. THE 3RD ROW SEATING CAUSES DAMAGE TO THE BUCKLES. OVER TIME THESE BUCKLES NEED REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE BUCKLE RELEASES WITHOUT BEING RELEASED AND WILL CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. THE BUCKLE RELEASE WILL STICK AND COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH IN AN EMERGENCY WHEN PASSENGER WOULD NEED REMOVED. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE A RECALL AND REPLACED IN ALL 2007 JEEP COMMANDER 3RD ROW SEATS. THIS ISSUE WILL CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

MY FRONT DIFFERENTIAL IS BROKEN AND I HAVE NO IDEA HOW IT BROKE. IT COULD POTENTIALLY BE AS SIMPLE AS WEAR AND TEAR ON THE VEHICLE, AS IT IS 10 YEARS OLD. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND CAN RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL AND/OR A CRASH.
