ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND HAS BEEN HAVING ISSUES FOR ABOUT 5 MONTHS ON ABOUT 20 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, AND SEEMS TO BE WORSE IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC OR AT A COMPLETE STOP. WHILE DRIVING IT WILL STALL AND ACT AS IF IT IS GOING TO DIE. IT SEEMS TO BE WORSE AT A COMPLETE STOP BUT HAS BEEN GRADUALLY DOING MORE WHILE DRIVING. IT HAS COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN THREE DIFFERENT TIMES. USUALLY, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. HAS STARTED DOING IT NOW AT ACCELERATED SPEEDS. REPLACED SPARK PLUGS WITH NO CHANGE. TOOK TO AUTO ZONE AND READ NOTHING ON THEIR COMPUTER. IT SEEMS OTHERS ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE AND I CANT BELIEVE THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS SINCE IT WOULD CAUSE A SAFETY ISSUE. IT DOES NOT SEEM THAT THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED CORRECTLY YET FROM READING THE OTHER COMPLAINTS AND JEEP SHOULD HAVE TO BE MADE TO LOOK INTO THIS.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
AT RANDOM TIMES, WHEN TRYING TO START THE JEEP IT WONT START AND SAY TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP. AT FIRST IT WOULD TAKE A COUPLE DAYS BEFORE IT WOULD START AGAIN. I USED IT FOR A FEW MORE DAYS AND IT DID THE SAME THING. A COUPLE HOURS LATER IT STARTED BACK UP. AFTER A FEW MORE TIMES OF HAPPENING IVE NOTICED YOU CAN PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND BACK IN PARK AND SOMETIMES IT RESTARTS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS LOOKED AT IT AND SAID THEY HAD ANOTHER ONE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM BUT NO FIX FOR IT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER HAS CONTINUED TO HAVE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED AND DEALER HAS REPLACED IGNITION SWITCH, WIRES WITHIN THE WIRING HARNESS, STARTER AND NOW THEY ADMIT THAT THEY HAD TO CONTACT CHRYSLER MECHANICS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THREE TIMES IT'S BEEN AT THE DEALER FOR THE REPAIR AND NOW SUBJECT TO LEMON LAW. THERE ARE NUMEROUS REPORTS AND MORE SERIOUS ONES WITH JEEP COMMANDERS LOSING POWER EITHER AFTER BEING PARKED THEN ATTEMPTING TO START OR WHILE DRIVING, CAUSING HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I OWN A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER 4 X 4 3.7L. AFTER HAVING SOME ISSUES WITH, WHAT I THOUGHT WAS THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING, I CHECKED AND ADDED TRANS. FLUID AND HAD BOTH TRANS LINES REPLACED DUE TO LEAKING. EVERYTHING SEEMED TO BE OK FOR A COUPLE WEEKS, UNTIL I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND NOT ONLY WAS THERE A DELAY WHEN I WOULD TRY TO ACCELERATE, THE SERVICE PARKING ASSIST SYSTEM MESSAGE APPEARED A COUPLE TIMES, ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 30 MILES PER HOUR AND THE RPMS WOULD RUN ABOVE 2 ON THE DASH. I PARKED, TURNED THE ENGINE OFF, HOPING IT WOULD RESET THE SYSTEM, BUT IT STILL CONTINUED TO REPEAT THE SAME THINGS WHEN I TURNED EVERYTHING BACK ON AGAIN. THIS WENT ON FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES. THEN AFTER 10 MINUTES PASSED, I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND WHEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE FROM THE STOP, ONCE THE LIGHT TURNED, THE VEHICLE FELT AS IF IT WAS GOING TO STALL. I STARTED RESEARCHING THE SYMPTOMS THAT I WAS HAVING AND IT SEEMS TO BE RECURRING IN MANY 2007 JEEP COMMANDERS. MOST OF THE COMPLAINTS THAT I READ ABOUT, STATE THAT THE DEALER TOLD THEM THE EITHER THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE OR THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE WAS FAULTY. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE FURTHER. MY JEEP IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD AND ONLY HAS 50K MILES ON IT AND FOR A SERIOUS PROBLEM LIKE THIS TO BE GOING ON WITH SO FEW MILES, THIS JUST DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I PURCHASED A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER ON 1/10/2011.THE CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 5 TIMES BECAUSE IT STALLS WHILE IN TRANSIT. THE CAR WHILE IN DRIVE AT VARIOUS SPEEDS MAX THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED WAS 55 MPH SHUTS OFF. ALL THE ELECTRICAL, EVERYTHING TURNS OFF. AT THIS POINT YOU MUST HOPE THAT THE CAR BEHIND YOU DOESNT HIT YOU, YOU MUST PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURN IT BACK ON THEN PUT IN BACK IN DRIVE WHILEPRAYING YOU DO NOT GET HIT FROM BEHIND. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES WITHIN THE 90 DAYS THAT I HAVE OWNED IT. I AM TOLD THAT THEY DONT KNOW WHAT IT IS. I CANNOT IMAGINE A CAR THAT JUST TURNS OFF WHEN IT WANTS TO. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR. *TR
