POWER TRAIN
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

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
WHEN MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER IS IN DRIVE THE VEHICLE WILL STALL AND SPUTTER OR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. VEHICLE SPEED VARIES BETWEEN 5 AND 60 MILES PER HOUR WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURS. THE PROBLEM STARTED IN OCTOBER 2009 VEHICLE SPEED AT THAT TIME WAS 5MPH. SINCE THEN THE SPEED WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURS HAS INCREASED AND THE LAST TIME (JANUARY 2010) I WAS DRIVING AT 55 MPH THE VEHICLE ENGINE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF, NO POWER WAS VISIBLE ON ANY CONTROL I.E. DASHBOARD LIGHTS, RADIO, ETC AND I LOST STEERING POWER. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE COAST OFF INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE STOP THE VEHICLE MOVE IT TO PARK AND RESTART. THE PROBLEM OCCURS RANDOMLY AND WITH NO APPARENT WARNING. WHEN IT CUTS OFF I LOSE POWER STEERING AND HAVE HAD SEVERAL NEAR ACCIDENTS WITH CARS TRAVELING BEHIND ME. WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLS AND SPUTTERS BUT DOES NOT LOSE ALL POWER IT MAY THEN SURGE FORWARD WHEN THE POWER RECONNECTS. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE AT MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP BUT THEY CAN NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
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

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
WHEN I BOUGHT MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER 2 YEARS AGO, A PROBLEM OCCURRED 2 MONTHS AFTER BUYING THE CAR, WHERE IT WOULD SLOW DOWN WHEN I WAS DRIVING AT A FAST SPEED. THIS ONLY OCCURRED ONCE, SO I LET IT SLIDE; HOWEVER, THIS RECENTLY STARTED BECOMING A FREQUENT PROBLEM. THERE ARE EVEN MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN THE ENGINE JUST COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR ME AND MY KIDS' SAFETY. THERE WAS EVEN A TIME WHEN A CAR ALMOST CRASHED INTO ME BECAUSE THE STOP WAS SO SUDDEN. THE PROBLEM RANGES FROM MY CAR JUST SLOWING DOWN AUTOMATICALLY TO COMPLETELY SHUTTING OFF. THE ENGINE ALSO STARTS SHAKING WHICH ENDS UP SHAKING MY ENTIRE CAR. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS IS HAPPENING, BUT I DO KNOW THAT IT IS NOT SAFE. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM 1 YEAR AGO, BUT THEY ONLY TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD NOT WORRY. I THEN RECENTLY RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN WHEN I NOTICED THE PROBLEM WAS BECOMING GRADUALLY WORSE, AND THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME 1000 DOLLARS FOR DAMAGES THAT THEY WERE NOT EVEN SURE ABOUT. I DID NOT FIND THIS TO BE JUST BECAUSE I WAS NOT GOING TO PAY THAT AMOUNT OF MONEY FOR SOMETHING THAT IS NOT MY FAULT. I RESEARCHED ONLINE THAT THE FEDS ARE ACTUALLY INVOLVED WITH ENGINE STALL PROBLEMS FOR JEEP COMMANDERS BECAUSE MORE THAN 135,000 PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINT AS I DO. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. SO FAR, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY SIGNIFICANT HELP. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
I HAVE A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER OVERLAND WITH A 5.7L V8 HEMI MOTOR WITH 35,000 MILES ON IT. I AM EXPERIENCING STALLING WITH MY VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE HAS STALLED THREE TIMES NOW - ONCE AT A STOP LIGHT, ONCE WHILE IDLING IN A PARKING LOT, AND ONCE WHILE DRIVING (AROUND 10 -15 MPH). I SPOKE WITH CHRYSLER AND THEY BLEW ME OFF. I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND AM FEARFUL THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AT A HIGH SPEED OR SOMEWHERE WHERE THIS STALLING WILL RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. WHILE SEARCHING THE INTERNET AND VARIOUS FORUMS, I FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS STALLING ISSUE. WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS IF CHRYSLER DENIES THE PROBLEM AND INSISTS THEY "CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG" WITH THE VEHICLE? IT CAN'T BE A 'FLUKE' IF THOUSANDS OF JEEP COMMANDER DRIVERS ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE! *TR

I HAVE A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. I LIVE IN VIRGINIA. THE TEMPERATURE HAS BEEN IN THE 30'S. WITH NO APPARENT CAUSE (NO ROCK HITTING OR ANYTHING), MY WINDSHIELD STARTED WITH A TINY HAIRLINE CRACK (BOTTOM MIDDLE) AND IN A COUPLE DAYS, THE CRACKED LINE BECAME "L-SHAPED" AND MOVING LEFT. IT WAS ABOUT 8 INCHES IN LENGTH. I BELIEVE THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW IN THE WINDSHIELD SINCE NOTHING HAPPENED OTHER THAN THE COLD TEMPERATURE AND MY PERHAPS MY USE OF THE VEHICLE'S DEFROST. *TR

I OWN AT 2007 JEEP COMMANDER WITH 33,000 MILES ON IT. I WAS DRIVING 55 ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY WHEN MY JEEP COMMANDER JUST TURNED OFF. I HAD NO ACCELERATION OR POWER BRAKES. I WAS LUCKY TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT HITTING ANYONE. I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T REPRODUCE THE ISSUE AND THERE WAS NO CODE SO THEY COULDN'T IDENTIFY WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. I AM SUPPOSE TO CALL THEM IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN.. *TR
