ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
IT HAPPENED SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING MY NEW 2007 JEEP COMMANDER, IT WOULD GIVE A HESITATION WHILE SITTING AT STOP LIGHT OR WHILE IN PARK LIKE IT WAS ABOUT TO DIE, IT WOULD ALSO REV UP THE ENGINE LIKE IT WAS ACCELERATING, WE TOOK IT IN A FEW MONTHS AFTER WE BOUGHT IT, THEY SAID THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG AND DID NOTHING AT THAT TIME, IT CONTINUED TO DO IT, BUT WE JUST PUT UP WITH IT BECAUSE WE FIGURED WE'D HEAR THE SAME THING, (IT DON'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME WE DRIVE IT, JUST PERIODICALLY) SO NOW, IT'S DOING IT MORE INTENSELY, IT'S AS IF SOMEONE IS MASHING ON THE GAS PEDAL WHILE IN PARK AND ALSO AT STOP LIGHTS WHILE I HAVE MY FOOT ON BRAKES, ONCE IT HAS JUMPED FORWARD AND I THOUGHT I WOULD HIT THE CAR AHEAD OF ME. I TOOK IT IN AGAIN,THEY RESET THE COMPUTER, AND SINCE, IT HAS DONE IT AGAIN A COUPLE DAYS AFTER GETTING IT OUT. I WILL CALL THEM BACK, BUT LOOKING AT THE COMPLAINTS ONLINE,IT SHOWS ME SOMETHING IS TERRIBLE WRONG WITH JEEPS UNINTENTIONALLY ACCELERATING, PLEASE HELP, I DON'T WANT TO CAUSE A ACCIDENT OR HURT MYSELF OR ANYONE ELSE. I SAVED RECEIPTS FROM THE DEALERSHIP OVER THIS PROBLEM,PLEASE EXAMINE ALL OUR COMPLAINTS, NOT EVERYONE KNOWS HOW TO SUBMIT COMPLAINTS TO THIS AGENCY, JUST LOOK ONLINE OR PERHAPS CHECK EVERY SINGLE DEALERSHIP, THANK YOU *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THIS IS MY 2ND COMPLAINT TO YOU GUYS ABOUT THIS FRIGHTENING AND DANGEROUS ISSUE OF MY JEEP COMMANDER ENGINE STALLING PROBLEMS. I ALMOST HAD ANOTHER ACCIDENT BY DRIVING 35 MPH AND THE ENGINE JUST STALLS, POWER AND LIGHTING FLASHES ON AND OFF, THEN FAILS. NO POWER OVER THE CAR AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP! THE CAR BEHIND ME HAD TO VEER SHARPLY TO KEEP FROM RUNNING INTO THE BACK OF ME. IT WAS AN UNEXPECTED STALL FOR OTHER VEHICLES AS WELL AS MYSELF. I HAVE TRIED TO GET HELP, BUT TO NO AVAIL. I AM SCARED TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS DANGEROUS AUTO AND NEED SOME HELP EITHER REPLACING IT OR JEEP TO TAKE IT BACK! ALSO, IT STILL JERKS FORWARD, (WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE!) WHILE I'M SITTING AT A LIGHT, ALMOST HITTING THE PEDESTRIANS WALKING IN THE CROSSWALK IN FRONT OF ME. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET WITH VERY SIMILAR AND LIKE COMPLAINTS AND NO ONE IS DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I GUESS THEY'RE WAITING FOR A TRAGEDY, INSTEAD OF TRYING TO PREVENT ONE. PLEASE ADVISE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
I OWN A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING IT, I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY THAT RUNS THROUGH MY TOWN AT ABOUT 40 MPH AND THE VEHICLE STALLED OUT. I TRIED TO GIVE IT SOME GAS TO GO BUT I KEPT DECELERATING. I SHIFTED MY GEAR SHIFT TO PARK, SHUT IT OFF AND RESTARTED MY CAR AND IT WENT BACK TO RUNNING NORMALLY FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. IT HAPPENED 4 MORE TIMES BEFORE I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A COMPUTER ERROR AND THEY CORRECTED IT. TWO WEEKS LATER, I LEFT MY DRIVEWAY AND WAS HEADING DOWN MY STREET AND MY CAR STARTED BUCKING UNCONTROLLABLY. I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND WAITED A FEW SECONDS BEFORE SHIFTING BACK TO DRIVE. I CAME TO A STOP SIGN A FEW BLOCKS LATER AND MY JEEP STALLED OUT AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 4 OR 5 TIMES SINCE I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. I'M AFRAID THAT THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE FOR ME OR MY FAMILY AND I AM STARTING TO REGRET THIS PURCHASE. *TR

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD
2007 JEEP COMMANDER WINDSHIELDS ARE FLAWED, AND CRACK EASILY. SPREADING ACROSS THE WHOLE WINDSHIELD. I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE WINDSHIELD REPLACED ONCE SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED IT IN APRIL 08, AND 1/2 YEAR LATER BOTH SIDES HAVE CRACKS IN IT. I BELIEVE THE DESIGN OR CURVE MAY BE TOO 'FRAGILE' FOR SAFETY, NOT TO MENTION MY BUDGET! *TR

POWER TRAIN
I HAVE A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. IT HAS BEEN STALLING (BUT NOT CUTTING OFF COMPLETELY) FOR SOMETIME. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 28 2009 IT BEGAN TO STALL AND CUT OFF. IT WOULD ALSO REV UP TO ABOUT 3000 RPMS WHILE SITTING STILL. WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT ON THE SAME DAY IT DID THE SAME AND LUNGED FORWARD AT THE SAME TIME (WITH MY FOOT ON THE BREAK). LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ONE COMING THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. IT HAS BEEN AT A CERTIFIED JEEP DEALERSHIP TWICE IN THE LAST WEEK, THIS TIME FOR THREE DAYS - SO FAR! I AM BEING TOLD THAT THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG. A VEHICLE CUTTING OFF IN TRAFFIC AND GOING FORWARD ON ITS OWN SEEMS TO ME TO BE A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I OWN A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER AT ABOUT 10,000 MILES IT STARTED TO STALL AND TURN OFF. DEALER DID NOT REPLACE ANY PARTS ONLY FLUSHED THE ON BOARD COMPUTER AND UPDATED THE SOFTWARE. MONTHS LATER IT STARTED TO DO THE SAME THING. DEALER DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND PERFORMED THE SAME TASK OF FLUSHING THE COMPUTER AND UPDATING ITS SOFTWARE. TWO YEARS AND 23,000 MILES AND THE CAR IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY SO I'M GOING BACK TO THE DEALER, BUT I DON'T THINK THEY WE FIX THE PROBLEM . TR

STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS, SEAT BELTS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
WE HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE FOR SEVERAL MONTH WITH NO RESULTS FROM CHRSYLER CORPORATION OR THE DEALERSHIP. WHEN IT RAINS WATER IS COMING INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE SEAT BELT IS ALWAYS WET, WATER IS COMING IN THROUGH THE PANEL, WATER IS ON THE FLOOR AND IN THE CUP HOLDERS. WE HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND IT HAS BEEN LABEL AS A LEMON. HOWEVER, WE HAVE NOT HAD ANY RESULT FROM CHRYSLER. THE RADIO WOULD NOT TURN OFF, THE WINDOWS WOULD NOT COME DOWN, AND THE DOOR WOULD NOT UNLOCK. THIS WAS THE LAST STRAW. WATER IS CONSTANTLY LEAKING INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE FROM THE ROOF. THE VEHICLE HAS A MILDEW SMELL INSIDE. HOWEVER, THIS DILEMMA ABOUT TO COME TO A CLOSE. BUT HAS TAKEN A TURN FOR THE WORSE. I GREGORY HAILEY WAS INFORMED THAT ON MONDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 2008 THAT I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO TAKE PROCESSION OF A VEHICLE, BECAUSE OF SOME TECHNICALITY BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP, CHRYSLER FINANCIAL AND THE THIRD PARTY INDIVIDUAL THAT IS HANDLING THIS MATTER. I AM DEEPLY UPSET WITH CHRYSLER AS A WHOLE IN THE WAY THEY HAVE HANDLE THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A 2 YEAR PROBLEM BECAUSE IT DATES BACK TO 2006 ON THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE. IF THERE IS A NEED PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION. *TR

POWER TRAIN
I LEASE A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. I NOTICED, TO START, THAT THE ENGINE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AT A LOW SPEED. AT FIRST IT FELT LIKE MY FOOT WAS NOT QUITE ON THE ACCELERATOR SO I DISMISSED THE FIRST COUPLE OF INCIDENCES. MORE RECENTLY HOWEVER, MY VEHICLE WILL OCCASIONALLY STOP ACCELERATING AT ABOUT 15 MILES PER HOUR. WITH MY FOOT FULLY ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT GO ( THE ENGINE IS NOT STALLED ). IT DEFINITELY FEELS LIKE THE VEHICLE IS SHIFTING AUTOMATICALLY INTO NEUTRAL WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE. THE ENGINE LIGHT ON MY CONTROL PANEL ILLUMINATES. THE PROBLEM HAS BECOME WORSE. THE VEHICLE WILL STOP ACCELERATING AT HIGHER SPEEDS AND THE PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, AND DRIVE SYMBOLS ALL ILLUMINATE ON MY CONTROL PANEL - SUGGESTING THAT I AM IN ALL THOSE POSITIONS. I TOOK MY COMMANDER IN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE CHECKED ON OCTOBER 6, 2008 AND THEY SAID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS BECAUSE MY VEHICLE IS BLATANTLY NOT WORKING PROPERLY - AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN IF I CANNOT MOVE MY VEHICLE AT AN APPROPRIATE SPEED TO CROSS INTERSECTIONS ETC.. I HAVE TO PUT MY HAZARDS ON AND PULL OVER WHEN THIS HAPPENS, NOW ON A DAILY BASIS. I WILL NOT DRIVE IT DISTANCES BECAUSE I AM AFRAID THAT IT COULD SHIFT OUT OF GEAR ON THE HIGHWAY WHICH WOULD BE DANGEROUS. I DID TAKE IT TO A LOCAL CAR STORE WHERE THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC SCAN AND FOUND THE CODE U0404 THAT INVALID DATA WAS RECEIVED FROM THE GEAR SHIFTER. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO NOW THAT I HAVE A VEHICLE THAT CHRYSLER SAYS NOTHING IS WRONG WITH BUT DOES NOT WORK. I DO THINK THAT THIS IS CLEARLY A DANGEROUS PROBLEM TO HAVE. *TR

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD
I OWN A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. A SMALL ROCK HIT MY WINDSHIELD AND THE GLASS BREAKAGE SPREAD QUICKLY ACROSS TO THE MIDDLE OF THE ENTIRE SHIELD. THIS SMALL ROCK WOULD ONLY HAVE MAYBE BEEN A TINY NICK ON ANY OTHER VEHICLE WINDSHIELD. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE EDMUNDS FORUM FOR THIS PROBLEM, EVERYONE WITH A JEEP COMMANDER HAS THIS PROBLEM AND HAS BEEN UNABLE TO GET CHRYSLER TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. IT IS A DESIGN FLAW AND POOR QUALITY OF WINDSHIELD. SOME PEOPLE HAVE REPLACED AS MANY AS 4 WINDSHIELDS EACH YEAR OF THE COMMANDER OWNERSHIP. I HAD ONLY DRIVEN MY JEEP APPROXIMATELY 1000 MILES WHEN IT HAPPENED. THE REPLACEMENT IS $500.00 AND I KNOW THAT IT WILL CRACK AGAIN WHEN REPLACED. DUE TO THE DANGER IN THE GLASS, I WOULD LIKE YOUR HELP IN GETTING SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU. JAN HARPER *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I BOUGHT MY NEW 2007 COMMANDER IN SPRING OF 2008. LESS THAN 6 MONTHS LATER I'VE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. RANDOM LIGHTS COME ON AND GO OFF AT DIFFERENT TIMES. MOST RECENTLY I WAS IN CHICAGO ON A MAJOR FREEWAY AND MY CAR STALLED WHEN I SLOWED DOWN FOR TRAFFIC. AFTER TWO TRIES IT RESTARTED BUT MY DASHBOARD, LIGHTS, NAVIGATION SYSTEM WERE NOT WORKING. I DROVE TO A PARKING LOT AND TURNED MY CAR OFF. AFTER LETTING IT SIT FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES, I RESTARTED IT AND ONLY THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THIS TIME. MY DEALERSHIP INSTALLED A NEW IGNITION SWITCH A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO WHEN THE LIGHTS WERE COMING ON BUT THIS DID NOTHING TO HELP. THEY CAN'T GET MY CAR TO DUPLICATE WHAT IT HAS DONE FOR ME SO THEY GIVE MY CAR BACK TO ME WITHOUT REPAIR. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE AND I'M SCARED TO DEATH TO DRIVE IT. HAVING IT STALL IN CHICAGO (NOT FAMILIAR WITH THAT CITY- I WAS ONLY VISITING AND NEEDED MY NAVIGATION SYSTEM TO GET TO WHERE I WAS GOING) WAS VERY SCARY FOR ME AS I'M A FEMALE AND 35. I CONSIDER MYSELF LUCKY THIS TIME. BUT PLEASE- SOMEONE FIX MY CAR OR TAKE IT BACK FROM ME! THIS IS NOT A SAFE VEHICLE . *TR
