ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
BEGINNING IN OCTOBER 2009 WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 36K ON IT THE ENGINE STALLED ONCE. I THOUGHT MAYBE GAS OR SOMETHING....THEN TWO MORE TIMES IN OCTOBER WHILE STOPPED. GETS WORSE BY THE WEEK UNTIL IT IS ACTUALLY STALLING WHEN DRIVING AT 60MPH.....HAVE HAD IT IN FOR SERVICE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND THEY HAVE REPLACED SEVERAL COMPONENTS AND STILL WILL STALL. THIS IS 2012 AND SINCE IT ALL BEGAN I HAVE FILED 2 CASES WITH CHRYSLER, ON THE FIRST GO ROUND, THEY THOUGHT THEY FIXED IT AND AGAIN A FEW WEEKS LATER IT BEGAN TO STALL. MY DAUGHTER, 6 YEARS OF AGE, IN THE CAR AND I AM TAKING HER TO SCHOOL AND THE ENGINE STALLS AND WE ALMOST WERE HIT BY A VEHICLE TRAVELING IN EXCESS OF 55 MPH, IF THAT VEHICLE DID NOT GET OUT OF THE WAY IT WOULD HAVE DIRECTLY HIT WHERE MY DAUGHTER WAS SITTING. SHE BEGAN TO CRY AND SHE WILL NO LONGER RIDE IN THE COMMANDER. WE ARE ALL AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. IT HAS STALLED ON US I KNOW OVER 100 TIMES IN THE PAST 4 YEARS. I HAVE BEGGED CHRYSLER TO REPLACE THE VEHICLE. I LOVED MY COMMANDER I HAVE HAD SEVERAL JEEPS AND THIS IS SO UPSETTING. CHRYSLER SEEMS TO DENY THEY HAVE ANY CLUE OF THESE PROBLEMS WITH 2007 COMMANDERS AND I SEE SEVERAL POSTINGS ON THIS WEBSITE ALONE OF THE SAME ISSUE. IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE SERIOUSLY INJURED. PLEASE MAKE THEM STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND OWN UP TO THIS BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE FOR SOMEONE. I WILL NEVER BELIEVE IT IS ACTUALLY FIXED AND THEY MAKE US DRIVE IT UNTIL IT SO BAD THAT THEY CAN MAKE IT STALL. IN THE MEAN TIME, WE ARE IN DANGER DAILY. PLEASE HELP US AND ADVISE US HOW TO GET OUT OF THIS VEHICLE AND INTO A SAFE ONE FOR MY FAMILY. *TR

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
MY ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING OVER THE LAST COUPLE YEARS. IN SEPTEMBER 1, 2009 TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP BECAUSE ENGINE LIGHT, ACCELERATION SLOW OR STALLING,CAR SHAKING AND TRANSMISSION CLUNKS INTO GEAR. I HAD 48,286 MILES AT THAT TIME. THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND CODES P0430 & P0420 (CATALYTIC CONVERTER EFFICIENCY FAILURE. DEALERSHIP REPROGRAMMED PCM AND STATED THIS CLEARED THE CODES. TOOK CAR BACK TO DEALERSHIP 09/18/2009 ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AGAIN. DEALERSHIP INSTALLED A SOPCAT CONVERTER AND 2 OXYGEN SENSOR. MY ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN 02/2012 WITH SHAKING, RIDING ROUGH, WHILE DRIVING STALLING , ACCELERATING UP OR DOWN. DEALERSHIP REPLACED PCM, SAME DAY GETTING CAR BACK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AGAIN TOOK BACK TO DEALERSHIP THE FOLLOWING DAY. NOW THEY STATE ITS THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. NOW MY WARRANTY IS OUT. I ALREADY PAID OUT FOR PCM NOW HAVE TO PAY FOR CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED BACK IN 09/2009. BOTH THE PCM & CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS AN ISSUE BACK IN 2009 AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED THEN. NOW I HAVE TO PAY OUT ALL THIS MONEY. I THINK ITS A RECALL. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE STALLS AND DRIVER LOSES COMMAND OF ACCELERATOR, POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. HAPPENS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS BUT OBVIOUSLY MOST DANGEROUS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. WHEN VEHICLE LOSES POWER, ALL GEAR INDICATORS LIGHT UP ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE VEHICLE INFORMATION SYSTEM DISPLAY READS "SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM" AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARS. RECOMMENDED DEALER REPAIR IS THE REPLACEMENT OF THE "ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE". THIS TEMPORARILY SOLVES THE PROBLEM BUT RECURS WITHIN A FEW THOUSAND MILES. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ABOUT 9 TIMES OVER THE LAST 3 YEARS, MY JEEP COMMANDER 2007 LIMITED V8 HAS STALLED WHILE MOVING CAUSING THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS INCLUDING LIGHTS, RADIO, DASHBOARD PANEL, ETC TO MOMENTARILY TURN OFF. EACH TIME, THE STALL IS ACCOMPANIED BY A LOUD "CLUNKING" NOISE. IN EACH INSTANCE I HAVE BEEN TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE 60+ MPH. I AM ABLE TO RESTART EVERYTIME BY EITHER PULLING OVER OR PUTTING THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL, RESTARTING THE ENGINE, AND THEN PUTTING IT BACK INTO DRIVE WHILE MOVING. I HAVE DISCUSSED THIS WITH THE DEALERSHIP ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO UNLESS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON WHICH HAS NEVER OCCURRED. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO BOTH OF THE PRIMARY DRIVERS OF THE VEHICLE, AND THE IGNITION SWITCH HAS NEVER BEEN ACCIDENTALLY TURNED OFF. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
WHILE TRAVELING AT 40MPH MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER LOST POWER ACCELERATOR WOULD NO RESPOND THE SERVICE PARK ASSIST MESSAGE CAME ON AS DID THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND ALL THE GEAR INDICATORS IN THE DASH LIT UP. I STOPPED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND AFTER I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED IT WAS FINE FOR A FEW MORE MILES AND IT DID IT AGAIN AND AGAIN. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY JEEP DEALER AND THEY CHECKED IT OUT AND FOUND IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE AND I JUST HAD TO PAY $1,329.59 TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I WAS LUCKY I WAS DRIVING ON SIDE STREETS AS IN TRAFFIC OR ON THE HIGHWAY IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED ON THE 2006 COMMANDER AND JEEP RECALLED THEM AND THERE ARE THE SAME NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 2007 WHY IS IT THAT NOTHING IS BEING DONE TO HAVE THEM CORRECT THIS. *TR

POWER TRAIN
12/5/2011- THE JEEP COMMANDER LOST ALL POWER WHILE DRIVING, I COULD NOT GO FASTER THEN 15 MPH. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORMED ME, THAT THE PCM NEEDED TO BE CHANGED AND THERE WAS NO RECALL. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2006 MODEL BUT NONE ON MINE (2007). THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE CAR WILL JUST LOSE POWER. I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR. I CALLED THE JEEP RECALL CENTER AND THEY WERE OF NO HELP AND A WASTE OF TIME. *TR
