ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I TRIED TO START MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER AND IT WOULD ONLY CLICK. I GOT A TRANSMISSION OVER TEMPERATURE MESSAGE IN THE MESSAGE CENTER. ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS WORKED EXCEPT THE IGNITION. NO ODB CODES APPEARED. THE NEXT DAY IT STARTED AS IF NOTHING IS WRONG. THE FOLLOWING DAY IT FAILED TO START AGAIN. AT THIS TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED A TOTAL OF 5 TIMES. I HAVE GONE ON THE JEEP COMMANDER FORUM AND FOUND THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. SOME COMMANDER OWNERS HAVE BEEN STRANDED DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. SOME OWNERS HAVE SPENT LARGE AMOUNTS OF MONEY TRYING TO GET THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED, WITH NO SUCCESS. THERE SHOULD BE AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS PROBLEM. *TR

ENGINE
UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE HEARD TO BE WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A LOUD EXHAUST LEAK UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE ENGINE. WHILE DRIVING THE NOISE SEEMED TO LESSEN / GO AWAY. UPON DOING RESEARCH MANY REPORTS THAT IF YOU HEAR AN "EXHAUST LEAK" UPON START UP THEN FADE AWAY, IT COULD BE A POSSIBILITY THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS HAVE BROKEN. I TOOK IT UPON MYSELF TO LOOK UNDER THE HOOD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS COLD, AND LOW AND BEHOLD THE BOLT THAT GOES THROUGH THE HEAT SHIELD AND MANIFOLD AND INTO THE ENGINE BLOCK WAS CRACKED IN TWO PIECES SEPARATING THE MANIFOLD FROM THE BLOCK. I CALL MY MECHANIC, HE SAID BRING IT DOWN RIGHT AWAY, HE LOOKED AT IT AND SAW THAT THERE WAS 2 BOLTS BROKEN ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. AGAIN MANY COMPLAINTS FROM CUSTOMERS ONLINE ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM, AND THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THIS ISSUE IS TO LIFT THE ENGINE OUT OF THE VEHICLE TO DRILL OUT THE BROKEN BOLTS THAT ARE STUCK IN THE BLOCK. NOW. MY MECHANIC TRIES EVERYTHING ALL SORTS OF ANGLE TOOLS, OTHER TOOLS AND CANT REMOVE THE BOLTS, SO THE ONLY THING LEFT TO DO IS LIFT THE ENGINE. I HAVE THE ENGINE LIFTED AND FIND THAT THERE WERE MORE BOLTS BROKEN ON THE DRIVER SIDE AS WELL. I GO TO THE DEALER AND BUY ALL NEW "UPGRADED BOLTS" ( AS THE DEALER SPECIFIED) FOR THIS ALONG WITH GASKETS, REAR MAIN SEAL, FAN CLUTCH, OIL PAN GASKET ETC. I EXPLAIN TO THE DEALER THE PROBLEM AND THEY ADMIT TO THE PROBLEM BUT THERE'S NO RECALL ON THE 4.7L ONLY ON THE HEMI FOR THE BROKEN MANIFOLD BOLTS. I ASK WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER REPLIED " THE MANUFACTURER INSTALLED THE WRONG GRADE BOLTS FROM THE MANIFOLD TO THE BLOCK." NOW I'M OUT ALMOST $3500 FOR PARTS AND LABOR FOR A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT HASN'T BEEN RECALLED, THIS IS SOMETHING CHRYSLER/JEEP SHOULD BE ON TOP OF CONSIDERING THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE. THIS IS MY SECOND JEEP, AND I'M NOT SURE I'D PURCHASE ANOTHER ONE. *TR

POWER TRAIN
AT ANY SPEED, ANYTIME, COLD OR HOT, THE VEHICLE WILL PRODUCE A MESSAGE ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER INFORMATION CENTER STATING " TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP ". THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO THE MECHANIC TWO TIMES ALREADY AND CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THIS MESSAGE WILL DISPLAY ON A COOL MORNING UPON START UP OR AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN RUNNING FOR SOME TIME. THE MESSAGE WILL NOT STAY ON LONGER THAN A FEW MINUTES, THEN WILL TURN OFF. A TON OF RESEARCH HAS BEEN DONE AND NO ONE HAS THE ANSWER YET. THE ONLY THING I CAME ACROSS WAS TO REPLACE THE PCM/ECM, SOMEONE STATED THERE WAS A GLITCH WITH THE COMPUTER. MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS RECURRING PROBLEM AND IT CAN'T BE FIXED YET. *TR

OUR JEEP DOESN'T STAY IN GEAR, TO BACK UP OUT OF DRIVEWAY MUST GO FROM REVERSE TO NEUTRAL SEVERAL TIMES TO ENGAGE. ALSO WILL SLIP FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY, MANY, TIMES THAT OUR JEEP DOESN'T KNOW IT IS IN PARK OR NEUTRAL AND WILL NOT START UNTIL YOU MESS FOR ALONG TIME WITH SHIFTER. CONTACT WAS MADE WITH DEALERS IN AREA AND THEY STATE OUR VIN. ISN'T PART OF RECALL. WHEN DRIVING OUR JEEP HAS PUT ITSELF INTO NEUTRAL BUT SHIFTER IS IN DRIVE POSITION... PLEASE HELP US.. *TR

ENGINE
THE VEHICLE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR STALLS OUT NO MATTER HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING. EVERYTHING DIES, INCLUDING POWER STEERING. I HAVE TO COAST OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN RESTART IT AND IT RUNS FINE FOR AWHILE. THERE IS NO RHYME OR REASON TO IT. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 80 MPH AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND IT JUST SHUTS OFF. I HAVE ALSO BEEN ON SIDE ROADS GOING 35-40 MPH AND IT HAPPENS. IT ALWAYS RESTARTS AND THEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN. I HAD ALL THE SPARK PLUGS REPLACED IN 2012 AND IT WORKED FINE FOR AWHILE, PROBABLY ABOUT 5,000 MILES, THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN OUT OF THE BLUE IN 2014. I DON'T DRIVE THE CAR VERY OFTEN BECAUSE IT IS TOO DANGEROUS. I'VE ALMOST CAUSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS ON THE HIGHWAY FROM A SUDDEN SLOW DOWN FROM THE ENGINE DYING AND DECELERATING RAPIDLY. I'VE WRITTEN A COMPLAINT IN 2012, NEVER HEARD ANYTHING AND NOW I AM WRITING AGAIN. *TR

FOR NO REASON THE JEEP WOULD JUST DIE, ON THE INTRASTATE, IN TOWN, ANYWHERE, JUST SHUT OFF, THEN AFTER A HOUR OR SO IT WOULD START AGAIN. AFTER BEING IN THE SHOP MANY WEEKS FOR THIS, THE TWO COMPUTERS WERE FOUND TO BE THE PROBLEM. CHANGED THE COMPUTERS, AT THE FEE OF ALMOST $ 2000 AND NO MORE PROBLEMS, WHICH THE MONEY IS NOTHING KNOWING MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER WONT STALL ON THE INTRASTATE AND BE KILLED. CHRYLSER CORP CAN CARE LESS !!!! *TR

MY VEHICLE PAINT IS "SPIDERING" AND CRACKING ON THE HOOD. YOU WOULDN'T THINK THIS COULD HAPPEN SINCE IT SAT IN A GARAGE FOR ALMOST A YEAR WHILE I WAS DEPLOYED, I WAX IT RELIGIOUSLY AND IT IS USED VERY LITTLE. WHEN TALKING TO THE JEEP DEALER, THEY MAKE IT SOUND LIKE IT IS ACCEPTABLE WEAR AND TEAR. I THINK THERE IS A FLAW IN THE PAINT USED FOR THAT SPECIFIC YEAR AND POSSIBLY MANUFACTURING LOCATION. *TR
