VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE CRUISE CONTROL HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN TO GIVE YOU THE BEST IDEA OF WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. IT CONSISTANTLY SPEEDS UP TO 20MPH OVER WHAT I INTEND IT TO BE SET AT. FOR EXAMPLE, IF I SET IT AT 40MPH IT WILL SPEED UP TO 60MPH INSTANTLY ON ITS OWN. 1. THERE WERE NO EVENTS LEADING UP TO THIS 2. IT HAPPENS EVERYTIME THE CRUISE CONTROL IS SET TO ANY SPEED. THE VEHICLE FAILS TO MAINTIAN THE SET CRUISE SPEED BY SPEEDING UP ON ITS OWN. THE MOST LIKELY CONSEQUENCE WILL BE A REAR END COLLISION WITH THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. 3. THE DEALER IS BEING CONTACTED TODAY FOR REPORT AND POSSIBILITY OF REPAIR.

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

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, VISIBILITY, VISIBILITY:REAR WINDOW WIPER/WASHER
CHRYSLER HAS A RECALL ON ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS ON THE 2008 JEEP COMMANDER. THE RECALL DETAILS LOSS OF HEADLIGHTS, WIPERS, BLINKERS, AND FOR THE ENGINE TO STALL. BUT THEY ARE ONLY COVERING IT ON CERTAIN VINS. OUR 2008 JEEP COMMANDER HAS SUDDENLY EXPERIENCED ALL THESE PROBLEMS. MY HUSBANDS HEAD LIGHTS WENT OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING IN THE DARK. THE WIPERS QUIT WORKING, WE HAVE NO BLINKERS, AND THE ENGINE KEEPS STALLING. WE CALLED THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION AND THEY REFUSE TO TAKE OUR JEEP IN ON THE RECALL, YET ACKNOWLEDGED IT HAD ALL THE SIGNS OF THE RECALL, THEY SAID IT HAD TOO MANY MILES. WE HAVE THREE SMALL CHILDREN AND THE RECALL STATES THAT IT IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND COULD CAUSE A CRASH. SO WHAT ARE WE TOO DO KNOW? *TR

POWER TRAIN
2007 JEEP COMMANDER V8 WITH HEMI THE VEHICLE STALLS FOR NO REASON. I COULD BE DRIVING 45MPH THEN FOR NO REASON ALL POWER TO THE VEHICLE FAILS. THIS HAS OCCURRED 5 TIMES IN 1 WEEK. I LOOKED UP RECALLS AND SEE THAT THE 2006 COMMANDER HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM THAT PROMPTED A RECALL OF THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM). I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIPS AND WAS TOLD THAT MY 2007 IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE SAME RECALL, THOUGH THE PROBLEM IS THE SAME. I BELIEVE THAT THE PCM SOFTWARE NEEDS TO BE REPROGRAMMED. THIS FAILURE MAY ALLOW THE ENGINE TO CONTINUE STALLING RESULTING IN A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
WHEN MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER IS IN DRIVE THE VEHICLE WILL STALL AND SPUTTER OR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. VEHICLE SPEED VARIES BETWEEN 5 AND 60 MILES PER HOUR WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURS. THE PROBLEM STARTED IN OCTOBER 2009 VEHICLE SPEED AT THAT TIME WAS 5MPH. SINCE THEN THE SPEED WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURS HAS INCREASED AND THE LAST TIME (JANUARY 2010) I WAS DRIVING AT 55 MPH THE VEHICLE ENGINE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF, NO POWER WAS VISIBLE ON ANY CONTROL I.E. DASHBOARD LIGHTS, RADIO, ETC AND I LOST STEERING POWER. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE COAST OFF INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE STOP THE VEHICLE MOVE IT TO PARK AND RESTART. THE PROBLEM OCCURS RANDOMLY AND WITH NO APPARENT WARNING. WHEN IT CUTS OFF I LOSE POWER STEERING AND HAVE HAD SEVERAL NEAR ACCIDENTS WITH CARS TRAVELING BEHIND ME. WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLS AND SPUTTERS BUT DOES NOT LOSE ALL POWER IT MAY THEN SURGE FORWARD WHEN THE POWER RECONNECTS. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE AT MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP BUT THEY CAN NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TRANSMISSION STALLING WHILE DRIVING- ACCORDING THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND IS ALSO A NOTED PROBLEM IN THESE VEHICLES. THIS SAME VEHICLE HAS ALREADY BEEN RECALLED FOR SIMILAR ISSUE, BUT ONLY FOR THE BIGGER ENGINE SIZE. CHRYSLER HAS INFORMED ME THAT THEY WILL NOT INVESTIGATE EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM IN A DIFFERENT ENGINE SIZE. THE VEHICLE CAN BE TRAVELING AT 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE AND STALL WITHOUT WARNING. IT WILL NOT GO ANY FURTHER WITHOUT STOPPING, TURNING OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTING. THIS HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES DAILY. I HAVE TRIED TO GET FIXED AND WORK WITH THE PROBLEM, BUT AFTER ALMOST BEING REARENDED BY AN 18WHEELER ON THE INTERSTATE TODAY, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. IT IS FOR 2007 JEEP COMMANDER 3.7LT. *TR
