VEHICLE, A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER 4WD, STOPPED MOVING FORWARD, FELT LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL, RPMS WENT UP BUT VEHICLE DID NOT MOVE FORWARD. I LET OFF THE GAS, THEN IT JERKED A COUPLE OF TIMES, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT STARTED TO MOVE NORMALLY. WHILE IN THE ATM DRIVE THRU, PUT THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE AND IT WOULD NOT MOVE, PUT IT IN PARK AGAIN, THEN SHIFTED DOWN TO DRIVE AND IT MOVED. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, THEY ADVISED THAT IT WAS A SHIFT MODULE ON THE TRANSMISSION THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, I HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, AND THE VEHICLE ONLY HAD 42200 MILES ON IT. WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER THE $16000.00 PLUS COST TO REPAIR. NEEDLESS TO SAY THIS IS THE LAST JEEP I WILL OWN. GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF ONLINE COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS SAME PROBLEM THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL, THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

THE VEHICLE WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING SUDDENLY AND HAS CHOKED AND LUNGED FORWARD WHILE STOPPED. THIS IS SCARY'. I DON'T WANT TO HURT ANYONE AND I HAVE NEVER HAD TO FILE AN INSURANCE CLAIM DUE TO AN ACCIDENT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH THIS JEEP. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THEY FOUND NO PROBLEM. I CONTACTED JEEP IN HOPES THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. I LOVE THE VEHICLE, BUT SCARED TO TAKE THIS RISK OF AN ACCIDENT AND POSSIBLE DEATH OR DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY DUE TO NO FAULT OF MINE. I'M REALLY SCARED TO DRIVE THIS THING BUT CAN'T AFFORD TO REPLACE IT RIGHT NOW......WHAT THE DO I DO? *JB UPDATED 07/19/12

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
AS OF JUNE 8TH 2011 I BOUGHT MY JEEP USED WITH APPROXIMATELY 42000 MILES ON IT SOON AFTER IT STARTED HAVING FILLING ISSUES THEN FOR A WHILE THE ISSUE CEASED NOW ABOUT A MONTH BEFORE DATE OF STALL LISTED ABOVE IT STARTED WITH THE SAME FILLING ISSUES EXCEPT WORSE NOW CAUSING IT TO NOT WANT TO SHIFT INTO GEARS AS NORMAL CAR WOULD, KINDA JERKING IN BETWEEN SHIFTS FROM DIFFERENT SPEEDS AND RPM INCREASE AND DECREASE. IT HAS STALLED ON ME TWICE NOW. THE FIRST TIME ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH WITH MY 3 KIDS AND PREGNANT WIFE IN THE CAR CAUSING ALL POWER FUNCTIONS TO BE LOST AND WE ALMOST GOT RAN OVER BY A TRANSFER TRUCK TRYING TO GET TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. I HAD IT LOOK AT AND THE THROTTLE BODY AND INTAKE CLEANED OF CARBON DEPOSITED AND NOW TODAY JUNE 12TH 2012 IT STALLED AGAIN GETTING OFF THE INTERSTATE HEADING TO MY WORK. STILL FILLING HIGH AND LOW AND STALLING AND JERKING BETWEEN THE NATURAL SHIFTING OF THE TRANSMISSION. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WE BOUGHT THIS 2007 JEEP COMMANDER 2 YEARS AGO AND HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE (ESM) ALONG THE WHOLE WAY. 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. PLEASE TAKE CARE OF THIS ASAP AS I CANNOT AFFORD THE $1400 DOLLAR REPAIR TO FIX THE ESM THAT COULD END MY WIFE AND BABY'S LIFE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE JEEP SHUT OFF, COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER, BRAKES AND STEERING THEN AFTER A FEW SECONDS TURNED BACK ON. THIS HAD HAPPENED 4 TIMES WITHIN 10 MILE. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED. I HAD TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SO THEY COULD PLUG IT INTO THEIR COMPUTER. THE RESULTS WERE NEGATIVE AND COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS. SEARCHING ONLINE, THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER JEEP OWNERS THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED. *TR

BACK IN 2009 THE ESM HAD TO BE CHANGED TWICE AND IT WAS JUST CHANGED AGAIN 3/19/2012 AND HERE IT IS 5/25/2012 AND THIS PART GOES AGAIN (ELECTRIC SHIFT MODULE/UNIT). IT GOES WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ABOUT 45/50MPH ON THE HIGHWAY THE TRUCK JUST STOPPED RUNNING WHEN THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD FLASHED AND WENT OFF(GOOD THING THAT THE ROAD WAS PRETTY CLEAR AT THAT TIME) THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THESE TRUCKS AND JEEP KNOWS ABOUT IT AND REFUSES TO CALL THESES TRUCKS OFF THE ROAD-THERE NEEDS TO BE TOTAL RECALL OF THE JEEP COMMANDEERS AND CHRYSLER/JEEP NEEDS TO BE MADE TO PURCHASE THEM FROM CONSUMERS BUT THEN AGAIN CONSUMERS DON'T HAVE ANY RIGHTS OR SAFETY NETS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ENGINE
PURCHASED THE 2007 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4 2 WEEKS AGO. WHEN I STARTED THE JEEP THE SERVICE PARK ASSIST FLASHED AND WENT AWAY, I HEADED DOWN MY DRIVEWAY ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND COULD NOT ACCELERATE MORE THAN 20 MILES PER HOUR, THE JEEP WOULD NOT SHIFT GEARS. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR SAFETY BECAUSE OF TRAFFIC, TURNED THE JEEP OFF, STARTED IT AGAIN AND MERGED BACK ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND THE JEEP AGAIN COULD NOT GO MORE THAN 20 MPH, PUT ON HAZARDS AND BROUGHT TO MECHANIC. LEFT THE JEEP RUNNING, GOT BACK INTO TO REVERSE AND THE IT WOULD NOT REVERSE, AT THIS TIME THE PRND WAS LIT UP ON THE DASH BOARD. STILL WAITING TO HERE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS MECHANIC CAN NOT DUPLICATE. VERY SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM AS I USE TO TRANSPORT MY CHILDREN. *TR
