POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER REFUSES TO ACCELERATE AFTER THE SERVICE PARK ASSIST LIGHT COMES ON AND ALL GEAR OPTIONS HIGHLIGHT AT THE SAME TIME. THIS WILL HAPPEN WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND OR HIGHWAY. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE VEHICLE TO BEGIN TO ACCELERATE AGAIN IS TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND APPLY THE ACCELERATOR. IT WILL ALSO BEGIN TO ACCELERATE WHILE AT A STOP ON ITS OWN. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS EXACT AND SIMILAR PROBLEMS FROM OTHER JEEP COMMANDER OWNERS. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE SINCE OTHER JEEP COMMANDER OWNERS HAS BEEN CHARGED FOR REPLACING TRANSMISSION MODULES JUST TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN AGAIN. MY COMMANDER IS A 2007 V6 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION MODEL. HERE ARE A COUPLE LINKS I HAVE FOUND ON ISSUES.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE ABOVE INFORMATION WAS FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED THE CAR WILL STALL OUT OF NO WHERE DUE TO THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE. I HAD IT REPLACED 11/08 WHICH WAS ONLY A YEAR AFTER THE CAR WAS MADE. IT IS COMPLETELY ACTING UP AGAIN AND THE MODULE NEEDS REPLACED AGAIN. I UNDERSTAND THAT THEY HAVE NOT RECALLED THIS ISSUE BUT THERE ARE OVER 145 COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE BUT YET ON YOUR WEBSITE IT SAYS A RECALL IS NECESSARY WHEN THERE IS A SAFETY-RELATED DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE OR EQUIPMENT. A SAFETY DEFECT IS DEFINED AS A PROBLEM THAT EXISTS IN A MOTOR VEHICLE OR ITEM OF MOTOR VEHICLE EQUIPMENT THAT: POSES A RISK TO MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY. EXAMPLES OF DEFECTS CONSIDERED SAFETY-RELATED:STEERING COMPONENTS THAT BREAK SUDDENLY CAUSING PARTIAL OR COMPLETE LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL. ACCELERATOR CONTROLS THAT MAY BREAK OR STICK. CRITICAL VEHICLE COMPONENTS THAT BREAK, FALL APART, OR SEPARATE FROM THE VEHICLE, CAUSING POTENTIAL LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL OR INJURY TO PERSONS INSIDE OR OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. ALONG WITH THE ABOVE I HAVE CHILDREN AND IF THEY ARE INSIDE THIS VEHICLE WHILE SOMETHING HAPPENS JUST WAIT UNTIL I SLAP THE LAWSUIT ALONG WITH THE MANY OTHERS AS A RESULT OF THIS ISSUE THAT NOBODY IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT. I ALMOST WAS REAR ENDED ON THE EXPRESSWAY BY VEHICLES GOING 75 MPH BECAUSE OF THE CAR STALLING/NOT WANTING TO ACCELERATE! I WANT ANSWERS AND I WANT THEM NOW!

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
JEEP COMMANDER GETS HARD JOLT, AS IF BEING HIT FROM BEHIND, AND ENGINE "DIES". NO LIGHTS ON DASH, JUST WON'T GO. ENGINE DOESN'T REV. TACH AT 0 REGARDLESS OF AMOUNT OF ACCELERATOR. YOU CAN PUT IT IN PARK AND IT WILL START AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, I HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, ALWAYS WITH THE REPORT OF NOTHING IS SHOWING ON THE COMPUTER REPORT. I HAVE SPENT OVER $1000 ON VARIOUS FUEL SYSTEMS SERVICES, TUNE UPS, ETC WHICH THEY SAY MAY BE THE PROBLEM, BUT IT IS STILL STALLING. DEALER SAYS THAT THE PROBLEM CAN'T BE REPLICATED. WITH ALL THESE REPORTS, AND THE OBVIOUS DANGER OF AN UNEXPECTED STALL THIS IS LIFE THREATENING AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. *TR

2007 JEEP COMMANDER ENGINE STALLING PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE INITIALLY STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH. IT HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR APPROXIMATELY 8 WEEKS AND CONTINUES TO STALL WHILE DRIVING, IDLING, AND TURNING. IT HAS BEEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THEY CONTINUE TO REPLACE THINGS AT RANDOM THAT ARE NOT CORRECTING THE PROBLEM AND HAVE TOLD US THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING IT TO CONTINUALLY STALL. SO FAR EVERY TIME IT HAS STALLED IT HAS STARTED RIGHT BACK UP BUT MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS THAT IT WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF I CAN'T GET IT OFF THE RIDE WHEN IT STALLS WHILE DRIVING. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
VEHICLE WAS LEAVING A STOP SIGN ENTERING A FEEDER ROAD WITH 50 MPH SPEED LIMIT. UPON ACCELERATING, THE VEHICLE LUNGED, AND DIED. IT RESTARTED AND WAS DRIVEN TO IT'S ORIGINAL DESTINATION. WE CALLED CHRYSLER AFTER SHE RETURNED HOME AND THEY TOLD US TO TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP FOR A DIAGNOSTICS. DEALERSHIP SAYS IT IS NOT COVERED BY ANY RECALL AND THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDS CLEANING FOR $250. (A $2 CAN OF CLEANER). THIS SAME VEHICLE STALLED TWICE IN THE SAME TRIP ONE WEEK EARLIER BUT I CONSIDERED IT AS PART OF THE COLD WEATHER. AFTER READING ALL OF THIS, THEY HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE 2007 HEMI'S AND HAVE NOT FESSED UP TO IT.

WHILE OPENING THE RIGHT REAR PASSENGER DOOR OF MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLE BROKE, THIS PREVENTED THE PASSENGER FROM EXITING THE VEHICLE. I CONTACTED THE JEEP DEALER AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY ISSUES RELATING TO THE DOOR HANDLE. I REMOVED THE DOOR PANEL AND MADE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS. TWO MONTHS LATER THE LEFT REAR HANDLE BROKE AND THEN THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER HANDLE BROKE. I MADE REPAIRS TO BOTH OF THOSE HANDLES AS WELL. LAST MONTH THE RIGHT REAR HANDLE HAS BROKEN AGAIN, I HAVE DID A TEMPORARY REPAIR ON THE HANDLE. MY FEARS ARE THAT IF I WAS TO GET IN SOME TYPE OF ACCIDENT WHERE THE PASSENGER(S) WOULD HAVE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE IN A HURRY THAT THE HANDLES WILL FAIL AND THE PASSENGER(S) WILL NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE IN A TIMELY MANNER AND COULD RESULT IN THE PASSENGER(S) BEING TRAPPED INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THERE SHOULD BE SOME TYPE OF SAFETY RECALL.

I HAVE A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER ROCKY MTN EDITION, THIS FAILURE HAS HAPPENED 30 TO 40 TIMES WITH ME. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY REGARDLESS OF SPEED, I LOOSE ALL CONTROL TO THE THROTTLE(GAS PEDAL) IF I FLOOR IT THE TACK DOESN'T MOVE AND I WILL SLOW TO A STOP, I PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD PUT IT IN "N" AND THEN BACK INTO "D" AND IT SEEMS TO BE OK FOR AWHILE. WHEN IT HAPPENS THE SERVICE PARK ASSIST LIGHT FLASHES AND ALL POSITIONS OF THE GEARS LIGHT UP AT THE SAME TIME, P, R N D. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE CODE WAS THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT CONTROL MODULA. I TOLD THEM THAT THIS FAILURE WAS NOTED ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND ASKED IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON IT. THEY LAUGHED AND TOLD ME THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM, $851.00 PLUS LABOR WHICH I COULD NOT AFFORD AT THIS TIME., THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM AND DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC ESPECIALLY. OR CHANGING LANES ON THE INTERSTATE. BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS FOUND ABOUT THIS FAILURE AND IT IS SUCH A SAFETY ISSUE I THOUGH YOU SHOULD BE NOTIFIED. WILL BE WAITING TO HERE SOME RESPONSE, RESPECTFULLY. *LN

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
ON MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER, 3 OUT OF THE 4 INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ARE BROKEN. THE PLASTIC ON THE DOORS FIRST BEGAN TO CRACK, PRODUCING HOLES IN THE HANDLE CUT-OUT. NOW THE INTERIOR HANDLES MOVE UP AND DOWN, AND IF NOT SITUATED PROPERLY, PREVENT YOU FROM ENTERING OR EXITING THE VEHICLE. OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR EVERY PASSENGER IN THE CAR. AFTER DOING ONLINE RESEARCH, IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A PERVASIVE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT THE WHOLE DOOR PANEL NEEDS REPLACING AT AN APPROXIMATE COST OF $500 PER PANEL AND IS NOT COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. THEY SUGGESTED I LOOK ONLINE FOR REPLACEMENTS AND THEY WOULD HAPPILY INSTALL THEM. *TR

1. MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER ACTS AS IF IT SLIPS OUT OF DRIVE TO NEUTRAL. ALL THE P R N D LIGHTS LIGHT UP AND I HAVE NO GAS POWER. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT. I HAVE TO PUSH THE SHIFTER TO THE RIGHT TO TRY AND GET IT TO GO IN GEAR OR PULL OVER AND NOT DRIVE IT. BROUGHT IT IN AND STATED IT WAS THE STARTER. FIXED THAT AND NOW THE PROBLEM IS WORSE. THE CAR WILL NOT GO OVER 20 MPH. I FINALLY HAVE A NEW CHRYSLER DEALER THAT IS GOING THROUGH PROPER STEPS TO FIGURE THE PROBLEM OUT AND THE HAVE KEPT ME INFORMED. THE OUTCOME IS A ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE. I AM JUST OVER MY WARRANTY AND IT IS GOING TO COST APPROX. $1000.00 TO FIX PLUS THE $397 I JUST SPENT ON THE STARTER THAT I MAY HAVE NOT NEEDED. THE WORST PART IS I GOOGLED THIS PROBLEM AND THERE ARE SO MANY COMMANDERS OUT THERE THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT IS A HAZARD AND SAFETY ISSUE! GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 65 AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN NO POWER IS SCARY. *TR
