WE HAVE A 2007 JEEP/COMMANDER SPORT THATS REALLY SOMEWHAT A PROBLE SINCE WE BOUGHT IT (USED) AND ITS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE GETTING IT. IT HAS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH LURCHING FORWARD WHILE IN PARK/DRIVE AND WHILE YOU'RE PRESSING THE BRAKES AT A STOP. IT DID IT AT THE DEALERSHIP AS WELL THEY DID NOTHING ABOUT IT. WE'VE REPLACED INNER PARTS TO THE TRANSMISSION THAT CHRYSLER REFUSED TO COVER UNDER THE WARRANTY. WE'VE HAD SOME TYPE OF MODULE REPLACED A COUPLE OF TIMES BECAUSE THE TRUCK STARTED RUNNING ROUGH( CHRYSLER COVERED THAT) EACH TIME IT HAPPENED. THERES SO MUCH WE CAAN COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS TRUCK AND CHRYSLER DOESNT WNAT TO COVER NON OF THE MAJOR THINGS. THERE'S DEFINITELY /ALWAYS HAS BEEN AN ENGINE PROBLEM. *TR

AT INTERMITTENT TIMES THE VEHICLE WOULD DELAY UPON PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR AND NOT SHIFT PROPERLY. IT WAS TAKEN TO BE SERVICED AFTER THE TRANSMISSION REVERTED TO "SAFE MODE" WHILE DRIVING. DEALER RESET THE SYSTEM. ACCELERATION AND SHIFTING PROBLEMS CONTINUED UNTIL "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT ILLUMINATED TOGETHER WITH THE "SERVICE PARKING ASSIST SYSTEM" MESSAGE. WERE INFORMED BY THE DEALER THAT THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE WAS FAULTY AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. DEALER ALSO INFORMED US THAT THE PART HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY REPLACED BY AN AUTHORIZED JEEP SERVICE CENTER PRIOR TO US PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER HAS STALLED AND LOST VARIOUS VEHICLE FUNCTIONS. THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES WITH NO PRIOR WARNINGS FROM THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. I HAVE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. MY COMMANDER HAS ONLY 33K MILES ON IT. THE DEALER SAID THE PROBLEM WAS SOME SORT OF "ELECTRONICS BOARD", THEY REPLACED IT. HOWEVER, THE JEEP HAS STALLED AGAIN AND NOW THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT IS ON AGAIN! THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THE COMMANDERS. I ASK NHTSA TO PLEASE SERIOUSLY CONSIDER A RECALL TO CORRECT THESE ISSUES. THE COMMANDERS ARE NOW CREEPING UP IN AGE AND ARE NOW OUT OF FACTORY WARRANTY. PLEASE HELP TO CORRECT THESE ISSUES BEFORE THERE ARE MORE INJURIES OR DEATH. LETS KEEP IN MIND THAT THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE WHO PURCHASED COMMANDERS ARE USING THEM AS A "FAMILY VEHICLE"! THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP IN THIS MATTER. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE
MY FRONT BRAKES LOCKED UP WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY THE FIRST TIME 11/4/10. I WAS TOLD FROM THE DEALERSHIP THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THIS ISSUE, BUT GOT AN ERROR FROM THE CAR THAT SAID THE FRONT RIGHT WHEEL WAS GOING FASTER THEN ALL THE REST OF THE TIRES AND THE ABS ACTIVATED AND LOCKED UP THE FRONT WHEELS. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN 12/15/10 AND THE ABS, SLIPPERY WHEN WET, ESP, BAS, AND SERVICE 4 WHEEL DRIVE LIGHTS CAME ON. THE DEALERSHIP TESTED IT AGAIN AND GOT THE SAME ERROR MESSAGE. THEY REPLACED THE SENSOR ON THE FRONT RIGHT PASSENGER WHEEL, AND STATED THAT THIS MAY HAVE FIXED IT, BUT THAT THEY ARE NOT 100% SURE HOW TO FIX THE ISSUE. I BELIEVE THIS IS SIMILAR TO RECALL 06V493000. I HAVE ALSO FILED A CLAIM WITH CHRYSLER. NO ONE WILL HELP ME. I AM AFRAID FOR MY SAFETY AS WELL AS MY FAMILIES IN THIS CAR. I CAN NOT AFFORD A CONTINUOUS RENTAL OR TO PURCHASE A NEW CAR. I AM NOW OUT TIME LOSS AT WORK, CAR RENTAL, TOWING, AND COSTLY REPAIRS. PLEASE HELP ME. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
VEHICLE STALLS WHENEVER IT WANTS TOO. DRIVING DOWN FREEWAY AT 70MPH VEHICLE WILL TURN OFF AND ALL SYSTEMS SHUT DOWN CAUSING IT TO BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. VEHICLE STALLS AT STOP SIGNS AND SIGNALS AS WELL. SOMETIMES IT WILL GO FOR WEEKS WITHOUT STALLING AND THEN WILL SUDDENLY STALL WITHOUT WARNING. DEALER CAN NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG AND WANTS TO PLAY THE GUESSING GAME WITH FIXING IT, HAVE REPLACED MANY DIFFERENT PARTS,OVER $500 SO FAR, BUT STILL STALLS. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I HAVE A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. NOT THE LIMITED EDITION. IN THE 4 MONTHS THAT I HAVE OWNED IT, IT HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING 3 TIMES RESULTING IN A NEW ESM, SUDDENLY LUNGED FORWARD, ON ITS OWN, WHILE STOPPED IN TRAFFIC, AND NOW STRANDED OUR FAMILY TWICE WITH NOT STARTING. THE FIRST TWO PROBLEMS ARE A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO AND RECALLED IMMEDIATELY. STALLING WHILE DRIVING IS BEYOND DANGEROUS! WITH THE SUDDENLY ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN WHILE I WAS STOPPED IN TRAFFIC, HAD I NOT HAD MY FOOT FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE, SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN HURT. MY AUTISTIC SON WAS IN THE CAR WITH ME ON THAT OCCASION AND ON THE STALLING OCCASIONS, ALL 4 OF MY KIDS WERE IN THE VEHICLE. I HAVE LOST ALL CONFIDENCE IN MOPAR PRODUCTS AND JEEP NEEDS TO RECALL THESE HUNKS OF JUNK BEFORE SOMEONE, OR AN ENTIRE FAMILY, GETS HURT OR KILLED. PLEASE MAKE JEEP FIX THESE PROBLEMS IMMEDIATELY TO AVOID DISASTER LIKE TOYOTA HAS FACED. *TR
