WHEELS, TIRES
I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2009 JEEP COMMANDER. IN THE FALL OF 2013 I PURCHASED 4 NEW TIRES,AND WAS TOLD 2 VALVE STEMS WERE CRACKED SO I HAD THEM REPLACED. ON 9/3/14 ON THE WVA TURNPIKE AT 70 MPH THE LEFT REAR WARNING LIGHT FLASHED AND THEN COUNTED DOWN FROM 40LBS TO 5LBS IN 10 SECONDS. I WAS ABLE TO STOP ON A VERY NARROW BERM AND CALLED AAA TO CHANGE THE TIRE. ON RETURN HOME WENT TO THE TIRE STORE AND WAS TOLD THE STEM NUT (ONE OF THE REMAINING ONES) HAD BROKEN OFF AND THE TRANSMITTER FELL INTO THE TIRE CAUSING THERAPID AIR LOSS. ON INSPECTION ON THE REMAINING STEM NUT IT WAS FOUND TO BE CRACKED AND SPLIT AS IIT WAS REMOVED. THE CRACK HAD CORROSION INDICATING IT HAD BEEN THERE FOR SOME TIME. I HAVE NO DOUBT IT COULD HAVE BROKEN OFF AT SPEED. I BELIEVE THE ONLY REASON I WAS ABLE TO KEEP THE CAR UNDER CONTROL WAS DUE THE FAILURE BEING A REAR WHEEL. NOTED ON LINE OTHER JEEP DRIVERS WITH SIMILAR INCIDENTS. OBVIOUSLY THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A SAFETY NOTIFICATION IF NOT AN ACTUAL RECALL. *TR

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
CRUISE CONTROL STILL DOES NOT OPERATE. SINGLE TOUCH POWER WINDOW FUNCTION NO LONGER WORKS ON DRIVER AND PASSENGER WINDOWS. WHILE COMMUTING TO WORK ON THE TOLL ROAD, RPMS REGISTERED BETWEEN 2500-3500 GOING AT A SPEED OF 75. THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME, IT WAS BETWEEN 3000-3500. I DID NOT HAVE THE AIR CONDITIONAL RUNNING. I WAS NOT ACCELERATING AND WAS NOT GOING UP OR DOWN INCLINES TO CAUSE THE HIGHER RPMS. AFTER EXITING THE TOLL ROAD, I TURNED AND WHILE ACCELERATING TO AROUND 40MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AS I WAS ON AN INSIDE LANE, I HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO ALLOW A SEMI TO PASS ON THE OUTSIDE LANE IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I HAD TO PLACE IN PARK, TURN OFF THE IGNITION SWITCH, AND TURN IT BACK ON. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON. MY AVERAGE MPG WAS 13.9, LOWER THAN IT SHOULD BE. LEAVING FOR MY COMMUTE HOME, WHEN I TURNED ON THE JEEP, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS NO LONGER LIT. I NOTICED DURING THE COMMUTE THAT THE RPMS WERE NOT AS HIGH AS IN THE MORNING, AND ALSO MY MPG INCREASED BY ALMOST A MILE PER GALLON, AND THAT WAS RUNNING AT THE SAME SPEED AND I ALSO WAS RUNNING THE AIR CONDITIONING. UPON EXITING THE TOLL ROAD, THE VEHICLE JERKED HEAVILY WHILE DOWNSHIFTING FROM OVERDRIVE. A JERKY MOTION CONTINUED FOR THE REMAINDER OF MY COMMUTE (RANGING FROM 30-55 MPH). PLEASE NOTE THAT I DO NOW TAKE PHOTOS AFTER THE ENGINE STALLS TO REFLECT THE MILEAGE AND THAT THE LIGHT IS LIT. I ALSO NOW TAKE PICTURES WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES OFF. *TR

ENGINE, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE IDLING IN A DRIVEWAY, THE CHECK ENGINE AND ESP/BAS LIGHTS CAME ON. THE VEHICLE DID NOT STALL. SHORTLY AFTERWARD, WHEN DRIVING ABOUT 55-60 MPH, I REALIZED THE CRUISE CONTROL NO LONGER WORKS. I TRIED MULTIPLE TIMES TO TURN IT ON, BUT IT DOES NOT COME ON ANY LONGER. THE ESP/BAS LIGHT WENT OFF ABOUT 10 MILES LATER, AFTER I STOPPED TO FUEL UP THE VEHICLE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON. ABOUT AN HOUR LATER AND ANOTHER 35 MILES LATER, AFTER MAKING A STOP, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT COME BACK ON WHEN RESTARTING THE VEHICLE. LATER IN THE AFTERNOON, WHILE IT WAS IN THE NEUTRAL GEAR AND GOING THROUGH AN AUTOMATIC CARWASH, THE VEHICLE STALLED TWICE. THE RPMS WERE CONSTANTLY UP AND DOWN BETWEEN 500 AND 1500 RPMS. *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
WE WERE ON INTERSTATE 57 GOING 65 MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE JEEP JERKED LIKE IT WAS DOWN SHIFTING AND JUST SHUT OFF. WE HAD A SEMI BEHIND US WHICH ALMOST HIT US BUT WE WERE ABLE TO COAST ONTO THE SIDE OF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WE THEN TURNED THE KEY OFF AND THEN RESTARTED THE CAR AND IT STARTED OKAY BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. THE ENGINE LIGHT FINALLY WENT OFF BY ITSELF. SINCE THEN WHEN DRIVING THE JEEP JERKS AND ACTS LIKE IT DOWN SHIFTING AND THE RPMS GOES WAY UP. WE ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE IT ON A HIGHWAY BECAUSE SHUTTING OFF LIKE THAT ON THE INTERSTATE COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I AM READING SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FROM OTHERS WHO OWN 2007 JEEP COMMANDERS SO THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING FAULTY! THIS COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT!!! WE JUST PURCHASED THIS FROM A DEALER A MONTH AGO FOR OUR 16 YEAR OLD TWINS. THANK GOD THEY WERE NOT DRIVING IT WHEN THAT HAPPENED. *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
DURING COMMUTE TO WORK, VEHICLE SHIFTING IN A JERKY MANNER AND RPMS ARE HIGH AND ERRATIC FOR SPEED OF VEHICLE. AT 10:00, WHEN DRIVING TO A MEETING, WHEN FIRST PUTTING JEEP INTO GEAR, THE GEAR DISPLAY "D" DISAPPEARED AND "4" WAS IN ITS PLACE, CONCERNING ME THAT THE OVERDRIVE WENT OUT (I'VE ALREADY HAD A SOLENOID PACK REPLACED DUE TO THE OVERDRIVE "GOING OUT" - HAPPENED ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO). VEHICLE DID NOT WANT TO MOVE FORWARD AS I WAS ATTEMPTING TO PULL OUT ONTO THE STREET. FORTUNATELY, IT MOVED FORWARD AND I REACHED MY DESTINATION. DURING COMMUTE HOME, ABOUT 5 MILES INTO MY DRIVE ON THE TOLL ROAD, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ENGINE STALLED. HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, PLACE IN PARK, TURN OFF IGNITION SWITCH, TURN BACK ON, AND RESUMED MY COMMUTE HOME. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY
THE PLASTIC PANEL OF THE INTERIOR DOOR (DRIVER'S SIDE) CRACKED BY THE DOOR HANDLE. ONE DAY I PULLED THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE, THE CRACK IN THE PANEL GREW AND PIECES CRUMBLED AND FELL INTO THE DOOR. THEN THE HANDLE FELL INTO THE DOOR. NOW THE ONLY WAY TO OPEN THE DOOR IS TO LOWER THE WINDOW AND OPEN IT FROM OUTSIDE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, AND I APPARENTLY AM NOT THE ONLY ONE.
