WE HAD THE DRIVER DOOR HANDLE BREAK AND CALLED CHRYSLER BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS. WE WERE ADVISED TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER AND HAVE IT LOOKED AT AND A REPORT MADE. WE DID THAT AND ALSO HAD PICTURES TAKEN AND SENT WITH THE REPORT TO CHRYSLER, OUR CASE # 22652678 WAS FILED. AT THE TIME 2 OTHER DOOR HANDLES WERE SHOWING CRACKS. WE WERE TURNED DOWN FOR A REPAIR EVEN THOUGH IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. SINCE THAT TIME 2 MORE HANDLES BROKE. 2 CAN NOT BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE. WE WERE TOLD THEY WOULD CONSIDER DISCOUNTING THE REPAIR TO 1300.00 PER DOOR. IF THEY HAVE SUCH A BAD DESIGN AND PLASTIC PARTS YOU WOULD THINK AN HONORABLE COMPANY WOULD DO THE RECALL AND REPAIR. WE NOW HAVE A DANGEROUS CAR WITH NO WAY TO EXIT IN AN EMERGENCY. AT OUR AGE WE CAN NOT BE JUMPING OVER CONSOLES AND SEATS TO EXIT THE CAR. OUR CHILDREN HAVE BEEN ADVISED TO SUE IF ANYTHING HAPPENS BECAUSE CHRYSLER DOES NOT WANT TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM THEY CREATED. I UNDERSTAND 2008 MODELS HAD A DOOR HANDLE REDESIGN SO THEY OBVIOUSLY KNEW OF THE PROBLEM. THANK YOU FOR ANY ASSISTANCE YOU CAN PROVIDE. *TR

SEAT BELTS
MY JEEP COMMANDER DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT BELTS DO NOT LOCK INTO PLACE CORRECTLY. TO GET THEM TO LOCK YOU HAVE TO PRESS AND HOLD IN THE RED RELEASE BUTTON, THEN TO UNLOCK THE SEAT BELT YOU HAVE TO PRESS THE RED RELEASE BUTTON. NOW AS OF NOVEMBER 22, 2012 THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT IS HARD TO LOCK INTO PLACE EVEN WHEN PUSHING THE BUTTON.THE ALARM GOES OFF AS IF IT IS NOT ENGAGED AND THE LIGHT ON THE DASH LIGHTS UP AND CHIMES CONTINUOUSLY. I CALLED CHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403 ON NOVEMBER 26, 2012 AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS. I WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE IT IN AND PAY FOR A DIAGNOSTIC AND THEN CALL BACK AND MAYBE SOMETHING CAN BE DONE. SHE GAVE ME A REFERENCE NUMBER, BUT SAID THAT SHE IS STILL CLOSING THE CASE. WHEN THIS HAPPENED I LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD BE HANDLED PROPERLY BY CHRYSLER SINCE IT IS A DEFECT. I HARDLY EVEN DRIVE THIS CAR AND HAVE HAD OLDER CARS WHICH I DROVE MORE OFTEN THAT NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES. WITH THIS SAME VEHICLE I HAD TO DEAL WITH THE STALL ISSUES FOR SEVERAL MONTHS BEFORE IT WAS FIXED. EVERY TIME I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO HAVE IT HAPPEN WHILE THEY HAVE IT TO DIAGNOSE IT. I HAVE HAD A WRANGLER IN THE PAST TOO THAT HAD PROBLEMS. *TR

POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE RANDOMLY STALLS WHILE DRIVING IT AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND WHILE PARKED. THIS TIME, I WAS GOING 45MPH AND IT COMPLETELY STALLED. THE VEHICLE HAS TO BE IN PARK IN ORDER TO RESTART IT AND IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO START. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SINCE THE BRAKES AND STEERING DON'T WORK WHEN IT STALLS. I HAVE ALSO DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON A HANDFUL OF 2008 COMMANDERS DUE TO A MALFUNCTIONING FRONT CONTROL MODULE OR TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. THIS SHOULD BE TAKEN VERY SERIOUSLY BECAUSE MANY JEEP OWNERS ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE THEM DUE TO THE UNCERTAINTY OF THE RANDOM STALLING. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I HAD THIS VEHICLE SINCE 2008, AND THIS IS THE THREE TIMES THAT IT WOULD NOT START ONCE DRIVEN. DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO THE STORE, PARK IT FOR AT LESS 15 MINS, WHEN I STARTED THE CAR IT DO NOT START. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON . THE OTHER TWO TIME THAT THE CAR WOULD NOT START THE DEALERSHIP REPAIR SHOP COULD TELL ME WHAT WAS WRONG AND THE CAR START UP FOR THEM. THAT WAS IN 2010 AND 2011,NOW IT HAPPEN AGAIN! WAS TOLD THAT THIS PROBLEM NEED TO BE REPORTED. AFTER READING THE COMPLAINTS FROM THE OTHER OWNERS OF THE 2007 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4 THIS SEEM AS IF THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM. WE ARE BLESS THAT THERE HAS BEEN NO DEATHS. *TR

TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO HALL CHRYSLER JEEP AND DODGE DEALERSHIP TO GET AN OIL CHANGE DONE AND FOR THEM TO CHECK MY STARTER. WELL AFTER I PICKED IT UP THAT NIGHT I WAS DRIVING HOME MY TIRE SENSOR PRESSURE PISTONS ON THE RIGHT PASSENGER BACK SIDE OF THE CAR FIRST FELL OFF. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WERE CLOSED. I CALLED MY INSURANCE COMPANY LUCKILY I WAS COVERED AND THEY SENT SOMEONE OVER THEN THE NEXT DAY BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY IT WAS TOO LATE AND NOTHING WAS OPEN, AT THE TIRE PLACE THE NEXT DAY THE SECOND ONE FELL OF GLAD I WAS ALREADY AT THE TIRE PLACE WHEN IT HAPPENED AND NOT DRIVING AGAIN. BUT IT WAS BOTH TIRE PISTONS AT ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR PASSENGER SIDE FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND THE BACK TIRE OF THE RIGHT SIDE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THAT SAME DAY THEY WERE FIXING MY VEHICLE AND THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IN THE TWO PARTS AND SUBMIT A CLAIM AND I COULD GET RE-IMBURSED FOR IT WITH MY RECEIPT. AND I WENT IN TODAY TO THE DEALERSHIP LIKE THE MANAGER FROM THE DEALERSHIP SAID AND HE TOLD ME I HAD TO CALL A 1-800 NUMBER TO SUBMIT THE CLAIM THEY SAID THAT THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO REIMBURSE ME FOR IT. *TR

AT VARIOUS TIMES WITHOUT WARNING WE LOSE POWER TO THE MOTOR. CAN NOT ACCELERATE. ENGINE SPUTTERS. HAPPENS FROM DEAD STOP, IDLING, OR WITHOUT WARNING DRIVING IN CITY OR HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. BEEN LOOKED AT BY MULTIPLE MECHANICS WHO ARE STUMPED. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND SOMETIMES FLASHES PLUS ALMOST ALL DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS TURN ON SOMETIMES. THIS HAPPENED WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND THEY WOUND UP CHANGING THE TRANSMISSION. *TR

ENGINE, SEAT BELTS
CAR STALLS WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THE DRNP DASH LIGHTS ALL LIGHT UP AT THE SAME TIME AND THE CAR SHUTS DOWN FOR A COUPLE SECONDS, THEN IT RESUMES. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES RANDOMLY IN THE PAST. TODAY, IT STALLED 3 TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY ON MY HOME FROM WORK. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND RESTART THE CAR. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FINALLY CAME ON TODAY. THE SEATBELTS ALSO HAVE BROKEN SEVERAL TIMES. I'VE REPLACED 2 SEPARATE SEATBELT CASES (THE OUTER COVER) IN THE PAST YEAR. THE MIDDLE, SECOND ROW SEATBELT IS LOCKED UP AND CURRENTLY UNUSABLE. WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR, THE FIRST TIME I PUT UP THE 3RD ROW SEAT, THE SEATBELT WAS CRUSHED BY THE SEAT AND BROKEN. AND, THE BACK SEATBELT IS CURRENTLY BROKEN AGAIN (WHICH I HAVE ONLY USED THE 3RD ROW SEATS TWICE SINCE OWNING THE CAR), I PLAN TO HAVE THEM REPAIR IT AGAIN WHEN I TAKE THE CAR IN TO GET THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CHECKED :( *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I EXPLAINED THE PREVIOUS EVENING I NOTICED STEERING DID NOT SEEM RIGHT AND I HAD TO PUSH ON GAS MORE TO GET THE CAR TO HAVE POWER. I MENTIONED THIS TO MY HUSBAND IN CASE IT WAS TIME TO CHECK SPARK PLUGS AND GET A TUNE UP. THE NEXT MORNING I WENT THROUGH A CAR WASH AND STARTED A 30 MILE COMMUTE. WHILE DRIVING 65-70 MPH ON A HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE LIGHTS AND ALL POWER SHUT DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. THE ONLY THING WORKING WAS THE RADIO. NO BRAKES, STEERING WAS DIFFERENT. THANKFULLY THIS TIME WAS ABLE TO PULL TO A SHOULDER AND COAST TO AN OFFRAMP. I COASTED TO A STOP, PUT IN PARK THEN TRIED TO START. THE VEHICLE STARTED AGAIN AND I DROVE STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP 4 MILES AWAY. I EXPLAINED TO THE DEALER AND ALSO CALLED THE MAKER OF THE VEHICLES RECALL DEPT. THEY OPENED A CASE. AT THIS POINT NO ONE HAS ANY IDEA WHAT HAPPENED AND THE ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT. THEY CANNOT REPLICATE AND I HAVE NOT HAD MY CAR FOR 6 DAYS. I HAVE RESEARCHED THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO AND MOST PEOPLE BECOME A MIDDLE MAN BETWEEN THE DEALER, THE WARRANTY COMPANY, AND NO RESOLUTION IS EVER MADE. MANY BECAME FRUSTRATED AND SOLD AND CUT THEIR LOSSES. THEY CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND IT CONTINUED TO HAPPEN. I AM NOT CLEAR ON THE STATISTICS BUT I READ ONE BLOG THAT STATED THIS INCIDENT HAS CAUSED 2 ACCIDENTS. I HAVE SURVIVED CANCER AND I HAVE 3 CHILLDREN. I CANNOT CONSIOUSLY DRIVE THE VEHICLE AGAIN. I AM THANKFUL THIS DID NOT HAPPEN DRIVING UPHILL ON A DARK MOUNTAINSIDE. WE HAD PLANNED A TRIP TO LA THAT HAD TO BE CANCELLED DUE TO LACK OF SAFETY. I AM STARTING AN UPHILL BATTLE OR I WILL BE FORCED TO SALE. IF SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE SINCE 2006 WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RESOLUTION. PEOPLE GET THE COMPUTER FIXED ONLY FOR IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN WHICH TELLS ME THE COMPUTER ITSELF IS FAULTY. I AM NOT SURE WHAT TO DO AND I AM DESPERATE TO RESOLVE THE SITUATION. IT WILL PUT US IN DANGER. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
I HAVE HAD MY 07 JEEP COMMANDER (3.6 V6) SINCE JANUARY 2008. I HAVE NOTICE NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE DRIVING FROM A COMPLETE STOP, THAT MY VEHICLE WILL LOSE POWER AND START TO SPUTTER WHEN I TRY TO APPLY THE GAS AND THE CAR MOVES VERY SLOW AS IN LESS THAN 20MPH. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME NUMEROUS TIMES AND MAKES ME VERY UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING KNOWING THAT MY CAR CAN STOP AND LEAVE ME VULNERABLE TO BEING REAR-ENDED AT INTERSECTIONS OR COMMON STOPS. I NOTICE WHEN THIS HAPPENS THAT MY VEHICLE CLUSTER DISPLAYS "SERVICE PARK ASSIST" AND THE SERVICE PARK ASSIST LIGHT COMES ON UNCONTROLLABLY AND AT THE SAME TIME MY DASH/ CLUSTER ALSO DISPLAYS ( [P][R][N][D] ) ALL AT ONCE AS IF THE VEHICLE DOES NOT KNOW WHAT GEAR IT IS IN. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR A VEHICLE THAT IS SUPPOSED TO PROVIDE A SAFE DRIVING EXPERIENCE. I ALSO FIND IT VERY DISAPPOINTING THAT NUMEROUS PEOPLE ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES AND INTERNET/ FORUMS ALL HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND CHRYSLER TRIES TO NARROW IT DOWN TO A SELECT YEAR. MODEL. AND ENGINE. MY VEHICLE HAS THE SAME ISSUES AS THE PREVIOUS RECALL FOR THE 2007 4.7 V8 ENGINES, YET CHRYSLER IGNORES THE COMMUNITY OF JEEP COMMANDER OWNERS WITH THE 3.6 V6 ENGINE THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE IS ALSO A TSB (18-004-09 REV. A) THAT DESCRIBES THE CLUNKING AND HESITATION YOU FEEL WHEN TRYING TO GET UP TO SPEED. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING A CUSTOMER SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR. MY VEHICLE IS A 2007 WITH LESS THAN 40,000 MILES ON IT AND I SHOULD BE ABLE TO ENJOY MY VEHICLE SAFELY DURING THIS TIME PERIOD. ANOTHER PROBLEM IS THAT THE VEHICLE DOES THIS AT RANDOM SO YOU CAN'T JUST TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND SHOW THEM THE PROBLEM. I'M SURE THEY WOULD GLADLY TAKE MY MONEY AND LET ME SPEND 1000+ DOLLARS FOR NEW PARTS, BUT I HAVE AN 8YR/80,000 MILE WARRANTY PURCHASED FROM CHRYSLER AND WILL NOT PAY FOR DIAGNOSTIC AFTER DIAGNOSTIC TO TRY AND REPLICATE A PROBLEM THAT IS CLEARLY THERE... *TR

I WAS DRIVING ALONG THE HIGHWAY, WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED AND ALL OF THE LIGHTS CAME ON. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTARTED IT AND DROVE AWAY. AFTER TAKING IT IN I WAS TOLD IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR AND THAT IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER REPLACING THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR AND DRIVING IT BACK UP TO THE MOUNTAINS, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. SAME PROBLEM. I REPLACED THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR FOR A SECOND TIME. 6 MONTHS LATER A SIMILAR PROBLEM HAPPENED BUT INSTEAD OF SHUTTING DOWN THE CAR JUST SPUTTERED AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STARTED BLINKING. AFTER TAKING IT IN THE SHOP SAID THAT THE 02 SENSOR NEEDED REPLACING. I HAD PASSENGER FRONT O2 SENSOR REPLACED LAST MONTH, AND NOW IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN. THE SHOP IS NOW SAYING THAT THE PCM IS BAD AND THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. WHEN WILL THIS END? *TR

I PURCHASED MY USED JEEP COMMANDER AND SHORTLY AFTER IT STALLED ON ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I TOOK TURNED THE KEY AND GOT IT TO TURN ON AGAIN, LUCKILY THERE WERE NO CARS BEHIND ME. ANOTHER TIME I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED, AGAIN I WAS LUCKY THE TRAFFIC WAS BACKED UP AND NOT MOVING TOO FAST. BEFORE MY WARRANTY RAN OUT I TOOK IT IN AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WAS NOTHING COMING UP ON THEIR TESTS THAT WAS OF CONCERN. THE NEXT MONTH MY WARRANTY EXPIRED AND I WAS STRANDED AT A STORE. MY JEEP WOULD NOT TURN ON CLAIMING "TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP." IT WAS NOT THE BATTERY. I LEFT IT OVER NIGHT AND WENT BACK THE NEXT DAY AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY JEEP AND SUGGESTED A TRANSMISSION COMPUTER UPDATE. ABOUT A MONTH LATER I WAS BACK AT THE SHOP WITH THE "TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP" ISSUE, BUT THE JEEP BEHAVED AT THE DEALERSHIP. I PICKED IT UP AND ABOUT 2 MONTHS LATER I WAS BACK AT THE SHOP, HAVING TO TOW IN MY CAR. THE CAR AGAIN TURNED ON, SO THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE STARTER RELAY ON A GUESS (I WAS NOT CHARGED). AGAIN 2 MONTHS LATER MY CAR IS BACK IN THE SHOP FOR NOT TURNING ON, AGAIN SAYING THAT THERE IS A "TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP" ISSUE. ALSO WHILE I AM SITTING AT A RED LIGHT, I FIND MY JEEP SHAKING LIKE CRAZY. IT SEEMS LIKE IT WANTS TO TURN OFF, BUT IT DOESN'T (OR MAYBE THE LIGHT CHANGES JUST IN TIME). I HAVE DONE REGULAR MAINTENANCE ON MY JEEP. THE DEALERSHIP HAS RUN THEIR DIAGNOSTIC TESTS ON THE JEEP AND ABSOLUTELY NOTHING HAS COME UP. ALL IN ALL, I DRIVE IN FEAR THAT MY CAR WILL STALL AGAIN ON THE HIGHWAY, PUTTING BOTH MY SON'S AND MY LIFE IN DANGER, OR THAT WE WILL BE STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
JEEP COMMANDER STALLS RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS THE 5TH TIME IN LESS THAN A WEEK. WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLS, THE STEERING LOCKS UP AND THE CAR HAS TO BE PUT INTO PARK IN ORDER TO RESTART IT, AND IS DIFFICULT TO RESTART WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE CAR IS MOVING WHEN IT STALLS. *TR

WAS DRIVING TO WORK GOING ABOUT 60 MPH AND MOTOR JUST SHUTS OFF. HAD TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURN OFF THE KEY AND TRIED TO RESTART ENGINE. IT DIDN'T START ON THE FIRST TRY HAD TO TURN KEY OFF AND TRIED AGAIN IT STARTED. IT DID THE SAME THING WHEN I WAS GOING HOME THAT MORNING HAD TO DO THE SAME THING AS ABOVE TO GET IT STARTED AGAIN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS I DIDN'T HAVE POWER STEERING OR BRAKES LUCKILY I WASN'T ON THE FREEWAY. *TR
