ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN DRIVING IN RAINY WEATHER, ALL INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS WOULD INTERMITTENTLY ILLUMINATE WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE FAILURE WOULD CAUSE THE SPEEDOMETER AND FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR TO GIVE INACCURATE READINGS. WHEN THE FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR WOULD READ EMPTY, THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL, DESPITE THERE BEING FUEL IN THE VEHICLE. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WOULD RESET ITSELF TO NORMAL AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED, BECAUSE THE VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE A RECALL, AND THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE DEALER STATED THE FAILURE COULD ONLY BE DUPLICATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS EXPERIENCING THE ACTUAL FAILURE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT YET TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 52,100.

2007 JEEP COMMANDER LIMITED. 5.7L HEMI. VEHICLE HAS STALLED ABOUT HALF A DOZEN TIMES IN LAST TWO YEARS. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (+/- 65 MPH) AND WITH NO WARNING. ENGINE QUITS AND INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHT COME ON. I'VE (LUCKILY) BEEN ABLE TO PULL SAFELY OFF THE ROAD. WHEN I SHUT OFF THE IGNITION SWITCH AND WAIT A FEW SECONDS, I AM ABLE TO START IT BACK UP AND CONTINUE. I'VE BROUGHT THIS UP TO TWO SEPARATE JEEP DEALERS, AND THEY CLAIM THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. *TR

2007 JEEP COMMANDER, 51,000 MILES, STALLS WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I WAS ABLE TO GUIDE VEHICLE TO SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RE-START THE ENGINE. THIS STALLING PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED ON TWO OCCASIONS NOW, ONCE WITH MY KIDS ON BOARD, A SCARY SITUATION TO SAY THE LEAST. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON A WEEK AFTER THE LAST INCIDENT AND DEALER BELIEVES THE PROBLEM IS A FAULTY ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE, WHICH THEY SAID IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. WHEN PRESSED ABOUT STALLING OF 2007 COMMANDERS, DEALER SAID THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS OR RECALL, YET REPLACEMENT OF THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM? BASED UPON THE SUBMISSIONS TO NHTSA REGARDING THIS PROBLEM, NHTSA NEEDS TO TAKE ACTION NOW. THE HISTORY OF REPORTS REGARDING 2007 COMMANDERS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED, I URGE THE NHTSA AND CHRYSLER DO THE RIGHT THING BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I OWN A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER SUV. I HAVE BEEN HAVING NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH IT STALLING WHILE I AM IN MOTION. IT ALSO STALLS SOMETIMES WHILE I AM AT A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. ANOTHER STRANGE OCCURRENCE IS THAT SOMETIMES I START IT AND ITS MOVING AND I AM STEPPING ON THE GAS AND IT JUST HAS NO POWER. IT GETS TO ABOUT 20 MPH AND I CAN STEP ALL THE WAY DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL AND NOTHING, IT HAS NO POWER. I PULL OVER SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND START IT AGAIN AND IT IS FINE UNTIL THE NEXT TIME. I HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM SINCE SEPTEMBER AND HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS OTHER MECHANICS AND I AM TOLD SOMETHING ABOUT A SENSOR SENSING THAT THERE IS A MALFUNCTION. THEY CANNOT HOWEVER FIX THE PROBLEM AND ACT LIKE THIS IS VERY STRANGE AND THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS COMPLAINT. I AM AFRAID THAT ONE OF THESE DAYS THIS WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND EITHER I OR MY CHILDREN OR SOMEONE ELSE WILL BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR EVEN WORSE, KILLED. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
DRIVING A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER LIMITED 4X4, WITH 5.7 LITRE HEMI ENGINE AT 30 MILES PER HOUR ALONG SIDE ROAD, ENGINE CUT OUT UNEXPECTEDLY NO WARNING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 6 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WITHIN THE PAST 6 MONTHS WITH NO CONSISTENCY RELATIVE TO SPEED, ROAD CONDITIONS, ETC. ON THE PREVIOUS 5 OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE CUT OUT FOR A FEW SECONDS, THEN RESTARTED ITSELF. ON THE LAST OCCASION, THE ENGINE CUT OUT COMPLETELY AND NEEDED TO BE GUIDED OFF THE ROAD. WHENEVER THIS OCCURS THE DRIVER LOSES ALL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE CREATING AN UNCONTROLLABLE AND DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR THE DRIVER AND OTHER MOTORISTS. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO PAUL BAILEY JEEP CHRYLSLER DODGE ON 2 OCCASIONS FOR AN ASSESSMENT AND REVIEW OF THE CODE SYSTEM. NEITHER VISIT GAVE ANY INDICATION AS TO WHAT WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. A REPORT HAS BEEN LODGED WITH CHRYSLER AND WE ARE AWAITING INFORMATION FROM THEIR CASE MANAGER. WE BELIEVE THIS TO BE A FATAL ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN AND NEED SOME DIRECTION AS TO THE RECOURSE OR ACTION WE MIGHT TAKE. *TR

WE BOUGHT A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER V6 IN JULY/AUGUST OF '08 AND HAVE CONSTANTLY HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE ESM (ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE) DURING THE FIRST FEW VISITS THEY STATED THAT "PROBLEM COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED" AND THEY WOULD FLASH THE VEHICLES COMPUTER AND IT WOULD RUN FOR AWHILE THEN FINALLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND GOT THE VEHICLE IN AND FOUND IT WAS THE ESM WHICH WAS FINALLY REPLACED IN APR '09 AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO HAVE THEM FIX. SINCE IT WAS STILL UNDER THE 3YR/36K WARRANTY IT WAS AT NO COST. NOW IT HAS GONE OUT AGAIN LESS THAN A YEAR LATER AND OUR WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND JEEP STATES THAT THEIR PART WARRANTY (WHICH SHOULD BE 12MO/12K) EXPIRED ALONG WITH THE FACTORY WARRANTY AND WE ARE OUT OF LUCK. THE PART WAS REPLACED AS A "GOODWILL" GESTURE WHICH WAS TOLD TO ME BY A CUSTOMER SERVICE AGENT AND DOES NOT HAVE ANY PART WARRANTY. AS I WAS INVESTIGATING WHETHER OR NOT IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM I NOTICED THAT THE V8 MODELS OF THE COMMANDER HAD A RECALL FOR THE AUTO TRANSMISSIONS BUT THE V6 DOES NOT. IT WAS QUITE SCARY DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 70 THEN SUDDENLY LOSING POWER AND POWER STEERING ESPECIALLY WITH MY 2YR OLD AND 8YR OLD IN THE SUV. THE VEHICLE WOULD GO INTO "LIMP" MODE AND WOULDN'T SHIFT OUT OF 3RD GEAR AND GO FASTER THAN 25MPH, RPMS WOULDN'T RAISE PAST 3K, AND IT WOULD SHIFT HARD INTO GEAR. THE FACT THAT JEEP WILL NOT WARRANTY THAT PART AND ALL THE OTHER PROBLEMS I'VE READ FROM OTHER PEOPLE ON FORUMS, COMPLAINTS,ETC. ABOUT THIS SHOULD WARRANT A INVESTIGATION INTO THIS MATTER. *TR

MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER IS HAVING A PROBLEM WITH STALLING. THE CAR HAS STALLED ON ME TWICE SINCE I PURCHASED IT IN DECEMBER OF 2009. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING IT TO STALL, I EVEN TOOK IT TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN WHILE I AM DRIVING AND I AM UNABLE TO USE THE BRAKE OR THE GAS PEDAL. LUCKILY I WAS ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET BOTH TIMES WITH NO TRAFFIC AND WAS ABLE TO AVOID ANY OTHER VEHICLES, ALTHOUGH I DID COME CLOSE TO STRIKING A STOPPED VEHICLE. I AM CONCERNED WITH MY CHILDREN'S AND MY SAFETY WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. *TR

TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS, TIRES:VALVE
APPROXIMATELY, TWO MONTHS AGO, A VALVE STEM ON MY JEEP TIRE WAS CORRODED AND THE TIP CRACKED OFF, CAUSING THE SENSOR TO GO OFF ON THE DASH AND IT WAS NOT ABLE TO HAVE AIR PUT IN. I REPLACED THE VALVE STEM AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $80.00. JUST THIS PAST WEEK, THE SAME THING HAPPENED ON ANOTHER TIRE...THE TOP OF THE VALVE STEM CRACKED OFF AND I AM NOT ABLE TO PUT AIR IN THE TIRE. I'M SURE IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL THE SAME THING HAPPENS WITH THE OTHER VALVE STEMS ON THE OTHER TWO TIRES.

2007 JEEP COMMANDER, STARTED WITH "SERVICE PARK ASSIST" LIGHT COMING ON ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE, THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE THE PROBLEM SO THEY RESET THE SYSTEM. TWO DAYS LATER THE SAME THING BEGAN TO HAPPEN AGAIN, ALONG WITH THE LIGHTS AROUND THE P N R D ON THE DISPLAY COMING ON ALL TOGETHER, THE CAR ALSO THEN BEGAN TO NOT WANT TO ACCELERATE AFTER A CERTAIN POINT. ALMOST ACTING LIKE IT WAS NOT WANTING TO SHIFT TO THE NEXT GEAR. THIS HAPPENED FOR 8 MONTHS, STILL NO SERVICE WAS DONE BECAUSE THEY WERE UNABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM. IT BEGAN TO OCCUR WHILE DRIVING AND COMING TO A STOP AND STARTING TO GO FORWARD AGAIN. CAUSING PROBLEMS CROSSING INTERSECTIONS OR TRAFFIC. HAVE NOW BEEN TOLD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE, WHICH WE DID. THIS DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. IN THE LAST WEEK WERE TOLD TO REPLACE THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
2007 JEEP COMMANDER STALLING WHILE IDLING AT A STOP OR PARKED AND IN IDLE. THE VEHICLE IDLES ROUGH AND BEGINS TO STALL. SOMETIMES IT RECOVERS BUT WHEN IT DOES IT ACCELERATES AND LUNGES FORWARD. IF MY FOOT WAS NOT FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE, I WOULD SLAM INTO THE CAR OR ANY OBJECT IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVE 34,000 MILES ON IT NOW. IT HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR OVER A YEAR NOW (12-15K MILES). I PURCHASED THE JEEP FROM A JEEP DEALER AFTER IT HAD BEEN OWNED FOR A YEAR AND HAD 13,000 MILES ON IT. I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS WAS A PROBLEM FOR THE PREVIOUS OWNER BUT IT IS A CONTINUING PROBLEM FOR ME. IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER 5 TIMES FOR THE PROBLEM AND YET TO BE DIAGNOSED OR RESOLVED. IT IS A DANGEROUS DRIVING SITUATION AND I HAVE THREE YOUNG CHILDREN IN MY CAR ON A DAILY BASIS. I HAVE NO FINANCIAL MEANS TO GET A NEW CAR SO FORCED TO DRIVE THIS UNSAFE ONE!!! PLEASE MAKE CHRYSLER RECALL AND FIX THE 2007 COMMANDER FOR THIS UNSAFE STALLING/ACCELERATING PROBLEM!! I AM PUTTING MARCH 13, 2010 AS THE INCIDENT DATE BUT IT HAS HAPPENED SO MANY TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR I COULD NOT EVEN BEGIN TO REMEMBER THEM ALL. *TR

2007 JEEP COMMANDER HAS STALLING ISSUES WHEN IT IS RAINING OR AIR IS WET. THIS OCCURS AT IDLE AND SLOW SPEEDS. THIS MODEL (2006 AND 2007) HAS MANY COMPLAINTS, BUT NOTHING IS BEING DONE TO CORRECT IT OR TO HOLD CHRYSLER RESPONSIBLE. THE STALL CAN BE DANGEROUS AND VEHICLE LUNGES FORWARD WHEN IT AUTOMATICALLY TRIED TO RECOVER BEFORE STALLING. *TR

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) 2007 JEEP COMMANDER [XXX] TURN THE IGNITION KEY AND DOES NOT WANT TO START, DID IT IN OCTOBER 2009 AND MARCH 10TH 2010. ALL POWER IS ON, LIGHTS, RADIO, BOOSTED BATTERY, THIS IS NOT THE ISSUE, IT FINALLY TURNED ON IDLED EXTREMELY HIGH, I TURNED IT OFF AND TRIED TO START IT OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND WOULD NOT START. BY REVIEWING THE INTERNET OTHER OWNERS OF THE 2007 JEEP COMMNADER ARE EXPERIENCING ;STALLING AND THE CAR NOT STARTING, IT APPERS TO BE AN ALTERNATOR ISSUE, BUT CHRYSLER IS SAYING THEY DON'T KNOW WHY THIS IS OCCURRING. MY CAR WAS TOWED TO SOUTH POINT DODGE, IN AUSTIN TEXAS FOR DIAGNOSTIC ANALYZING, THEY HAVE NOT TOLD ME WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I AM CONCERNED IF THIS ISSUE IS NATIONWIDE AND CHRYSLER HAS NOT DONE A RECALL. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE IF CARS ARE STALLING ON THE HIGHWAYS AND NOT STARTING, COULD CAUSE A DEATH. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER IMMEDIATELY. [XXX] *TR
