VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
AS YOU SPEED UP FROM A STAND STILL THE THROTTLE CONTROL INDICATOR FORCES THE CAR TO SLOW DOWN. HAVE TO PULL OVER TO SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURN OFF THE CAR. START THE CAR BACK ON AND SLOWLY EXCEL, SOMETIMES THE THROTTLE WILL ACT UP AGAIN, AND HAVE TO TURN OFF CAR AGAIN. AND TODAY THE TRACTION INDICATOR TURNED ON WHILE DRIVING AND AS THE CAR SLOWED DOWN THE THROTTLE CONTROL FORCED MY HUSBAND TO PULL OVER AND TURN OFF THE CAR. IT SEEMS TO ACT UP WHEN THE WEATHER GETS WARMER. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER LAST YEAR AND THE GAS PEDAL WAS REPLACED AND THEY ASSURED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. BUT THE CAR IS ACTING UP AGAIN. I AM PRETTY SURE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT IS EXPERIENCING THESE KIND PROBLEMS WITH THE JEEP COMMANDER. *TR

ALL OF THE DOOR HANDLES ON THE VEHICLE ARE COMING LOOSE FROM THE DOOR PANEL. THEY ARE SO LOOSE THAT THEY COULD NOT OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE IF ANYONE NEEDED TO EXIT THE VEHICLE IN A TIMELY MANNER. I HAVE ALREADY HAD TO HAVE ONE REPLACED BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT OPEN THE DOOR. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS ISSUE AS I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THE SAME ISSUE FOR SIMILAR VEHICLES. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IF SOMEONE CANNOT EXIT THE VEHICLE IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
PURCHASED THE JEEP IN JANUARY OF 2011. WITHIN A MONTH OF OWNING IT, IT WOULD RANDOMLY STALL WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. WHEN THE JEEP STALLS, ALL OF THE LIGHTS IN THE DASHBOARD ILLUMINATE. YOU CAN PUSH DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THE RPM'S GO UP, BUT THE SPEED STILL DECREASES UNTIL THE VEHICLE STOPS. IT WILL CUT RIGHT BACK ON AFTER STOPPING AND CUTTING THE ENGINE OFF. THE VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY DO THIS NO MATTER THE WEATHER CONDITIONS, SPEED, OR ANYTHING ELSE. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT AND I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD HAVE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM THEMSELVES TO FIX IT. SINCE IT RANDOMLY MESSES UP UNDER NO SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES, I COULDN'T LEAVE THE VEHICLE WITH THEM WHILE THEY DROVE IT EVERY DAY TRYING TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM. JEEP HAS DONE THIS PROBABLY 10 TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT. I CALLED A DEALERSHIP AND GAVE MY VIN AND WAS TOLD NO RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE. YET I AM CONTINUOUSLY READING ABOUT THE SAME EXACT ISSUE WITH OTHER PEOPLE'S 2007 JEEP COMMANDERS. *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
MY JEEP COMMANDER 2006 SHIFTS AUTOMATICALLY TO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING, YOU FEEL A STRONG PULL AND A LOUD SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE, SUDDENLY THE CAR IS IN NEUTRAL AND THE GAS PEDAL DOESN'T WORK EVEN IF PRESSING IT. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNS ON FOR 2 OR 3 DAYS. THIS PROBLEM CAN CAUSE A FATAL ACCIDENT IF THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING AT A HIGHER SPEED, I'M SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR. I TOOK THIS CAR TO GET THE TRANSMISSION FIXED TWICE AND I STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, IT IS CLEARLY NOT A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT. ALSO THE DASH LIGHTS AND HEADLIGHTS START FLASHING WHILE DRIVING, INCLUDING THE AC IT SHUTS OFF WHILE LIGHTS ARE FLASHING. I CALLED CHRYSLER TO LET THEM KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THEY SAID MY CAR DOESN'T HAVE A RECALL, I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO, I'VE SPENT MORE THAN 5,000 DLLS TRYING TO FIX SOMETHING THAT CANNOT BE FIXED, I NEED HELP! *TR

THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES OF MY VEHICLE HAVE ALL DEVELOPED HAIRLINE FRACTURES AND THEN THEY END UP SHATTERING UPON NORMAL USE. ALL 4 OF MY INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ARE NOW COMPLETELY BROKEN AND THE DRIVER DOOR TAKES TIME AND CARE TO OPEN IT FROM THE INSIDE. I AM AFRAID THAT IF THERE IS AN AUTO ACCIDENT I AM INVOLVED IN, I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF MY VEHICLE OR GET MY THREE VERY YOUNG CHILDREN OUT EITHER. *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
THE COMMANDER WAS SLUGGISH ON A TRIP TO FLORIDA, WHEN I WOULD PRESS THE ACCELERATOR, IT WOULD HESITATE AND SPUTTER. THE MONTH BEFORE THIS TRIP, I JUST HAD THE TRANSMISSION SERVICED AT 60K TO KEEP THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY INTACT. SO FIGURED SOMETHING WAS DONE INCORRECTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP AND WE WOULD DEAL WITH IT WHEN WE RETURNED HOME. I WISH WE WOULD HAVE FOUND A REPAIR SHOP IN FL TO LOOK INTO IT AS THE JEEP TURNED OFF ON US GOING 74 MPH ON I-95. WE ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED BY A SEMI. WE DROVE 65 THE REST OF THE WAY HOME AND IT WAS ONE OF THE SCARIEST MOMENTS OF MY LIFE. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY READ THE CODE AND CLEARED THE CODE LIKE THEY DID PREVIOUSLY WHEN IT WOULD DO A HARD DOWNSHIFT WITH A LOVELY CLUNK WHEN COMING TO A STOP. THIS FIXED THE ISSUE UNTIL WE WERE COMING BACK FROM A FOUR HOUR TRIP AND THE LURCHING FORWARD WHEN GOING UP AN INCLINE STARTED AGAIN. IT CUT OFF, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED LIT, AS WELL AS THE PARK ASSIST. LIKE BEFORE WE COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURNED IT OFF AND RESTARTED IT. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE FUEL SENSOR AND SHELLED OUT $750 TO GET IT FIXED. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THIS SUV AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE HAPPEN TO ANY OF THE 20 CARS WE HAVE PREVIOUSLY OWNED. PLEASE LOOK INTO WHY THIS IS OCCURRING BECAUSE IF SOMEONE DIES DUE TO BEING REAR ENDED WHEN IT CUTS OFF, A LAWSUIT WILL BE IMMINENT. THANK YOU *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN ON TO A BUSY ROAD AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE - THERE WAS NO RESPONSE TO THE GAS PEDAL REGARDLESS OF HOW FAR I PUSHED IT. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO ABOVE 40MPH, NOR WAS THERE ANY INCREASE IN RPMS. I TRIED SHIFTING TO NEUTRAL AND THE ENGINE REVVED AND THE RPMS RESPONDED TO THE GAS PEDAL. WHEN I SHIFTED BACK TO DRIVE THERE WAS NO RESPONSE ONCE AGAIN. I MANAGED TO MAKE IT HOME AT 40 MPH. THE VEHICLE HAS DONE THIS PERIODICALLY AND SHOWS NO SERVICE ENGINE CODE. I ALSO HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM WHERE THE LIGHTS ON DASH SHOW [P][R][N][D] AND THE JEEP APPEARS TO GO INTO A "LIMP" MODE WITH NO RESPONSE...THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING - USUALLY SHIFTING TO NEUTRAL AND BACK TO PARK CORRECTS THE SITUATION. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN AND I TRANSPORT THEM IN THIS VEHICLE. NO CAN FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM ALTHOUGH YOU CAN READ FOR DAYS ABOUT IT ON THE INTERNET!!! VERY FRUSTRATING AND DON'T WANT TO SEE SOMEONE GET HURT OR KILLED BEFORE ACTION IS TAKEN!!!! *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
BOUGHT THIS JEEP IN 2007. RECENTLY WHEN I SLOW DOWN TO STOP IT JUMPS AND STALLS OUT. IT HAS BEEN TO THE MECHANIC SEVERAL TIMES AND HE CANNOT FIGURE OUT THE CAUSE. I FOUND A FORUM ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT WHY THIS VEHICLE DOES THIS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, STRUCTURE, VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY
I'VE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY '08 COMMANDER FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOW. THE SUNROOF LEAKED AND WATER GOT INTO THE DASHBOARD, SHORTING THE RADIO OUT. DEALER FIXED SUNROOF SEAL AND RADIO. ON THE DRIVE HOME FROM THE DEALER, DASHBOARD LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING. RETURNED TO DEALER THE NEXT DAY, BUT THEY COULD NOT LOCATE A PROBLEM. THREE DAYS LATER, CAR WOULD SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AND ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS WOULD FLASH. RETURNED TO DEALER, THEY WERE UNABLE TO "DUPLICATE" ISSUE. TECH FROM DEALER DROVE CAR FOR 1 DAY AND HE COULD NOT FIND AN ISSUE. ONE WEEK LATER, CAR SMELLED HORRIBLE OF FUEL AND CAR WOULD SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. RETURNED TO DEALER AND DEALER REPLACED O2 SENSOR. PICKED UP CAR AND ON MY WAY HOME, LIGHTS FLASHED, CAR STALLED AND SMELLED WORSE OF FUEL. IMMEDIATELY RETURNED TO DEALER, DEALER REPLACED A SECOND O2 SENSOR. PICKED UP CAR, 5 MILES FROM DEALER, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. CALLED DEALER AND HE SAID TO DRIVE CAR UNTIL THE ENGINE "RESET"(ABOUT 10 MILES) OR UNTIL LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING, THEN BRING IT IN SINCE THEY CAN NOT FIND A REAL PROBLEM. ISSUE SEEMED TO RESOLVE FOR A COUPLE WEEKS OF NOT DRIVING CAR MUCH, BUT THEN THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS BEGAN FLASHING AGAIN, CAR SMELLED OF FUEL AND CAR SEEMED BOGGED DOWN. TODAY, CAR BARELY STARTED AND WAS VERY BOGGED DOWN. ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE, BUT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND FLASHED REPEATEDLY. CAR WOULD NOT GO OVER 40MPH, SHOOK HORRIBLY AND FINALLY SHUT OFF. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR WITH MY CHILD INSIDE. I AM A DISABLED SINGLE MOTHER AND I NEED A DEPENDABLE CAR AND DEFINITELY NOT ONE THATS GOING TO KEEP COSTING ME MONEY. I HAVE A WARRANTY THAT I PURCHASED WITH THE CAR, BUT IT SEEMS TO STILL COST AN ARM AND A LEG TO GET THIS CAR RUNNING FOR A FEW DAYS BEFORE IT CHOKES UP AGAIN. THIS CAR HAS SUCKED UP ALL MY SAVINGS AND STILL NO RESOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. *TR
