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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I HAVE A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER LIMITED V8 5.7L HEMI. IT IS A LOW MILEAGE VEHICLE, ALWAYS GARAGED AND NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO IT BEGAN STALLING WHEN GOING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE. THE ELECTRICAL DID NOT GO OFF, THE ENGINE SIMPLY STALLED. THIS HAPPENED COUNTLESS TIMES EASILY 20+ OCCURRENCES. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT, THEY TOLD US TO USE HIGHER OCTANE FUEL AND THEY UPDATED THE SOFTWARE IN THE CAR... A WEEK LATER MY WIFE WAS AT WORK AND IT WOULD NOT EVEN TURN OVER EVEN THOUGH ALL OF THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS WORKED FINE. WE HAD IT TOWED AND THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY AND TOLD US THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. YESTERDAY I WAS DRIVING THE TRUCK, IT WAS IN DRIVE AND AS I SLOWED TO A STOP IT STALLED - AGAIN THE ELECTRICAL REMAINED ON. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THIS MORNING AND THEY TOLD US IT WAS NOT PART OF THE ORIGINAL RECALL AND THEY NEEDED TO KEEP IT, BUT COULDN'T TELL US WHAT WAS WRONG, WE CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY COULDN'T TELL US ANYTHING EITHER. I HAVE TWO YOUNG CHILDREN AND THIS COULD BE HORRIBLE IF THIS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
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

MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER'S ROOF IS RUSTING. I NOTICED IT IN MARCH 2010. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO SAID IT WAS BECAUSE OF BIRD POOP AND WILL ONLY PAY HALF THE MONEY TO GET IT FIXED. IT COSTS $1,600.00. I DO NOT HAVE $800.00. ANOTHER BODY SHOP I TOOK THE JEEP TO SAID IT WAS RUSTING FROM THE INSIDE OUT, THEREFORE I THINK IT IS A FACTORY DEFECT AND THEY SHOULD REPLACE THE ROOF. *TR
