VEHICLE STALLED WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TAKE OFF FROM A RED LIGHT. IT WOULD NOT INITIALLY RESTART, BUT A FULL POWER CYCLE OF THE CAR RESOLVED THE ISSUE. REPORTING INCIDENT AS MANY OTHERS HAVE REPORTED SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND WANT TO ADD TO THE DATA. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
SINCE SEPT. 2012 I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE NOT STARTING AND THE DASHBOARD MESSAGE IS "TRANSMISSION OVER HEAT" OR "TRANSMISSION TEMP OVER HEAT". IT WILL NOT START AT ALL. THIS PAST SUNDAY IT STARTED BUT IT WOULD CUT OFF LIKE IT WAS OUT OF GAS BUT THERE WAS A MORE THAN HALF FULL. I HAD TO GET TOWED FOR THE 2ND TIME IN A WEEK AND FOR THE 5TH TIME SINCE 2012. NO ONE SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM AND FIX IT PERMANENTLY SO THIS PROBLEM DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. I AM A DISABLED WOMAN AND CAN'T AFFORD TO BE STRANDED EVERY TIME I GET IN MY VEHICLE AND HAVE TO SIT AND WAIT FOR A TOW FOR OVER AN HOUR. I ALSO HAVE TO KEEP PAYING FOR REPAIRS THAT HAVEN'T BEEN WORKING SO THAT'S DRAINING ME. IS THERE A REASON FOR THIS PROBLEM AND IF SOMEONE HAS THE ANSWER PLEASE LET ME KNOW SO I CAN GET THIS FIXED ONCE AND FOR ALL. I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS WITH ANY VEHICLE I'VE EVER HAD BEFORE. *TR

ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING UP HILL (JUST AUTOSTICKED TO 3RD) JEEP COMMANDER STALLED. HAD TO SLOWLY BACK DOWN CURVE ON HILL TO SAFE POINT. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART. CALLED FOR TOW AND WAITED. TRUCK STARTED AFTER 10 MINUTES AND DROVE TO DEALERSHIP IN STAFFORD CONNECTICUT. VEHICLE STAYED THERE FOR 3 WEEKS ULTIMATELY ENDING WITH NO FINDINGS. WITH 79000 MILES I AM AFRAID THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN WITHOUT NOTICE. DEALER SAW ENGINE CODES INITIALLY BUT COULD NOT DUPLICATE ISSUE AFTER CODES DISAPPEARED. DEALER REFUSED TO CHANGE ANYTHING WITHOUT CODE VERIFICATION. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH COMMANDERS PRE/POST YEARS-WONDERING WHAT IS GOING ON IN TERMS OF RECALL? *TR

ENGINE
THE ENGINE HAS STALLED ON ME MANY TIMES WHILE DRIVING AT A SLOW SPEED, TAKE OFF FROM A STOP LIGHT OR WHILE STANDING STILL. ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ONE NUMEROUS TIMES AND CODES HAVE LEAD TO DIFFERENT SENSORS. WHICH WERE REPLACED BUT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM OF THE JEEP STALLING AND SHUTTING OFF. THIS IS MY MAIN VEHICLE AND I CAN NOT CHANCE THE SAFETY OF MY KIDS AND FAMILY WHEN NO ONE WANTS TO TAKE ACTION FOR A PROBLEM THAT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED OR RECALLED. IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO MY FAMILY DIE TO THIS PROBLEM THERE WILL BE A LAW SUIT. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED WITH A LITTLE OVER 60,000 MILES ON IT AND HAVE ONLY HAD IT FOR A MONTH. I CAN NOT EVEN GO A FULL WEEK WITH OUT IT SHUTTING OFF OR STALLING ON ME. THERE IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT JEEP CHRYSLER NEEDS TO LOOK INTO! *TR

THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS BEEN ON AND OFF FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS. WE HAVE CHANGED-OUT O2 SENSORS AND OTHER FIXES BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. THE ISSUE WAS DISCOVERED BY THE LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP: FOUR OF THE BOLTS ATTACHING THE MANIFOLD ONTO THE HEMI 5.7L ENGINE OF OUR COMMANDER WERE BROKEN. THE BOLTS AND EXHAUST MANIFOLD GASKET ARE BEING REPLACED - $642 COST. *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
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

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I'M DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED ALONG WITH OTHER VINS OF IT'S MAKE. IT HAS STALLING ISSUES. IT DIES GOING ANY SPEED AT ANY TIME. I'VE OWNED IT FOR JUST OVER A YEAR AND HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM SINCE MONTH ONE. THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN PARTS INCLUDING, ALL SENSORS, COMPUTER, CONTROL MODULE AND WIRE HARNESS HAS BEEN REPLACED AND IT IS STILL GOING ON. WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL CRYSLER REPS FROM DETROIT DOWN TO THE DEALERSHIP ITS AT TO LOOK TO HELP FIND THE PROBLEM BUT THEY'VE SCRATCHED THEIR HEADS AND SUGGEST WE JUST TRADE IT IN. WE ARE THE 4TH OWNERS OF THIS AND CARFAX WOULD SUGGEST THAT'S WHAT THE PREVIOUS OWNERS WERE TOLD TO DO JUST TRADE IT IN AND LET SOMEONE ELSE GET THE DEATH TRAP. I PAY $600 A MONTH FOR A VEHICLE I CANT DRIVE BECAUSE ITS NOT SAFE TO TRADE IN AND LETTING IT GO IS NOT AN OPTION. CRYSLER IS DOING NOTHING TO HELP WITH THIS ISSUE AND ACT LIKE THEY HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM THO JEEP FORUMS WOULD SUGGEST OTHER WISE. THIS WAS A KNOW ISSUE IN 06-08 COMMANDERS AND LIBERTYS AS WELL. WARRANTY WONT DO ANYTHING TIL THE DEALERSHIP CAN PIN POINT WHAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THIS IS WHY ALLEN SAMUELS HAS PAID FOR ALL THE PARTS THEMSELVES. THEY SAY THEIR OUT OF OPTIONS THERES NOTHING ELSE THEY CAN DO BUT I CAN'T DRIVE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE WITH CHILDREN. *TR

VEHICLE STALLS AT SLOW SPEED, EITHER IN RUSH HR TRAFFIC OR AT STOP LIGHT/SIGN. SPEED IS SLOW, LESS THAN 10MPH. CAN PLACE TRANSMISSION IN PARK/NEUTRAL AND ENGINE RE-STARTS IMMEDIATELY. HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY RECENTLY; SOMETIMES HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES PER TRIP. TODAY IT STALLED 3 TIMES ON WAY TO WORK AT VARIOUS STOPS. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON WHILE ENGINE IS RUNNING. WHEN IT STALLS, THE RED OIL LIGHT AND LIGHTNING BOLT LIGHT ARE ON, BUT NOT FLASHING, AND BOTH GO OFF ONCE ENGINE IS RUNNING AGAIN. IT IS THE 5.7L HEMI MOTOR. *TR
