ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I AM GUESSING IT IS "ELECTRICAL". SINCE NEW (2007), THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD PROBLEM WITH INTERMITTENT STARTING. RANDOM, UNPREDICTABLE. TURN KEY TO START, NOTHING HAPPENS, NO CLICK, NOTHING. THERE IS POWER IN ACC POSITION (LIGHTS, DASH, ETC OK). WHEN IT HAPPENS, HAVE BEEN ABLE TO WIGGLE GEAR SHIFTER, PUT IT INTO PARK MULTIPLE TIMES, PUSH ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, WIGGLE SHIFTER MORE.. THEN USUALLY IT STARTS. HAVE ALSO TRIED IT IN NEUTRAL, AND IT STARTED IN NEUTRAL (NOT SAFE). DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT MULTIPLE TMES HAS BEEN UNABLE TO ROOT CAUSE IT OR PERMANENTLY FIX IT. DANGER OF LEAVING OLDER FEMALE DRIVER STRANDED AS IT HAS IN PARKING GARAGES, ETC. ONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO CONFIDENTLY START A VEHICLE THAT HAS NO OTHER PROBLEMS AND IS WELL TAKEN CARE OF. TO STAY WHEN IT HAPPENED - NOT A ONE TIME THING. IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIME OVER THE YEARS, STARTING BACK IN 2007 WHEN IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY.

SEAT BELTS
TWO SEAT BELT BUCKLES IN THE BACK SEAT ARE BROKEN. THERE SHOULD BE TWO RED PLASTIC GUIDES THAT GUIDE THE LATCH PLATE INTO THE BUCKLE AND ONE GUIDE IS MISSING ON BOTH OUTER SEATING POSITIONS IN THE BACK SEAT. I CAN SEND PICTURES IF NEEDED. MY DAUGHTER HAS THE SAME VEHICLE AND IT HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. I WILL BE REPORTING HERS UNDER HER VIN NUMBER.

SEAT BELTS
THE 3RD ROW SEATING BUCKLES IN OUR JEEP COMMANDER BEGAN TO STICK ABOUT 6MOS AFTER PURCHASE. WE NOTICED THE BUCKLE WOULD STICK UNDER THE 3RD ROW SEATING AND THEN THE BUCKLE WOULD NO LONGER UNLATCH AT TIMES. THE BELT WOULD LATCH INTO THE BUCKLE, BUT WOULD GET STUCK INSIDE EVEN WHILE PUSHING THE RELEASE BUTTON. A COUPLE OF WEEKS AFTER THE BUCKLE STICKING THE BUCKLE WOULD ALSO UNLATCH AT ANYTIME WITHOUT PRESSING THE RELEASE BUTTON (WHILE MOVING AND WHILE STATIONARY). DURING THIS TIME THE BUCKLE WAS UNSTABLE AND WE CHOSE TO USE THE PASSENGER SIDE FOR THE MAJORITY OF CAR RIDES, BUT AS WE HAVE A LARGE FAMILY USE OF THE BELT WAS NECESSARY. AT ONE POINT THE BUCKLE BECAME STUCK WHILE MY SON WAS RESTRAINED BY THE BELT. WE HAD TO PRY THE BELT OUT OF THE BUCKLE. FROM THIS POINT ON THE BUCKLE WOULD NO LONGER LATCH. A FEW MONTHS LATER WE NOTICED THE PASSENGER SIDE BUCKLE WOULD RELEASE AT ANY TIME, (MOBILE OR STATIONARY). THE BUCKLE WOULD ALSO STICK AND WOULD NOT RELEASE AT TIMES. IT APPEARS THE PASSENGER SIDE BUCKLE IS NOW UNSAFE AND HAVING THE SAME ISSUES THE DRIVER SIDE BUCKLE CAUSED. THE 3RD ROW SEATING IS ATTACHED TO THE BUCKLES IN A WAY IT SEEMS TO CAUSE THESE ISSUES WITH THE BUCKLE. I HAVE FOUND MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ON GOOGLE FORUMS AND COMPLAINT SITES. THE BUCKLES ARE FAILING DUE TO FAULTY MANUFACTURING. THE 3RD ROW SEATING CAUSES DAMAGE TO THE BUCKLES. OVER TIME THESE BUCKLES NEED REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE BUCKLE RELEASES WITHOUT BEING RELEASED AND WILL CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. THE BUCKLE RELEASE WILL STICK AND COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH IN AN EMERGENCY WHEN PASSENGER WOULD NEED REMOVED. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE A RECALL AND REPLACED IN ALL 2007 JEEP COMMANDER 3RD ROW SEATS. THIS ISSUE WILL CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

ENGINE
THERE WAS A VALVE SEAT THAT FELL OUT OF THE HEAD WHICH CAUSED MAJOR INTERNAL DAMAGE TO THE MOTOR. THIS MOTOR ONLY HAD 120K MILES ON IT AND DID NOT HAVE ANY OTHER ISSUES. WHEN THIS HAPPENED THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN DRIVEN FOR APPROXIMATELY 20 MINUTES, SHUT OFF AND THEN WHEN IT WAS STARTED AGAIN IT HAD THE ISSUE.

ENGINE
MY FRONT DIFFERENTIAL IS BROKEN AND I HAVE NO IDEA HOW IT BROKE. IT COULD POTENTIALLY BE AS SIMPLE AS WEAR AND TEAR ON THE VEHICLE, AS IT IS 10 YEARS OLD. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND CAN RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL AND/OR A CRASH.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
MY JEEP IS LOSING POWER WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND WHEN I TAKE IT TO BE LOOKED AT, I CAN NEVER GET A STRAIGHT ANSWER. I CONTINUE BEING TOLD IT'S TRANSMISSION ISSUE (TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER, FLUID, LINES). MY CAR SLIGHTLY JERKS INTO GET WHEN SHIFTING FROM PART TO ANOTHER GEAR, AND THE PARKING ASSIST MESSAGE FLASHES ON. AFTER READING ALL THE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ONLINE IT SEEMS THE ISSUE MAY BE WITH THE SHIFT MODULE. WITH SO MANY COMPLAINTS IT WOULD BE NICE IF THIS COULD BE A RECALL AND CORRECTED.

JEEP COMPLAINT CASE # 31436177. I AM HAVING A NO CRANK NO START ISSUE WITH BOGUS ERROR MESSAGE THAT READS TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THREE DIFFERENT PLACES AND NO ONE CAN IDENTIFY WHY THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START OR FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION OR WIRING....... THAT IS CAUSING THIS ISSUE. THE JEEP STARTED HAVING THIS ISSUE INTERMITTENTLY IN FEBRUARY 2017 AND NOW IT WILL NOT START AT ALL AS OF APRIL 2017. ELECTRICAL MECHANIC IS BAFFLED AND CAN NOT FIND ANY THING WRONG WITH THE JEEP EVEN THOUGH IT DOES NOT START AT ALL ANYMORE. SINCE FEBRUARY 2017 AFTER THIS ISSUE STARTED I HAVE HAD THE COMPUTER UPDATED TO FIX THE PROBLEM, I HAVE HAD THE IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM, I HAVE HAD THE TRANSMISSION COOLER LINES AND TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGED OUT TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND STILL THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START INTERMITTENTLY AND NOW WILL NOT START AT ALL AS OF A WEEK AND A HALF AGO. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT IT MIGHT BE THE KEY NOT BEING RECOGNIZED BY THE JEEP AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPROGRAMMED BUT THIS IS NOT THE ISSUE EITHER. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST ISSUE I HAVE HAD WITH THIS VEHICLE EITHER. I ALSO HAD THE WIRING HARNESS CATCH FIRE INSIDE THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR BOOT SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE THAT CAUSED WINDOWS, LOCKS....... NOT TO FUNCTION AND HAVE HAD NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH WATER POURING IN FROM DRAINS FROM THE SUNROOF FLOODING THE VEHICLE AND RUINING THE CARPET ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE ALSO CAUSING A MOLD SMELL.

WHEELS
THE TIRE-PRESSURE-MONITOR SYSTEM HAS BEEN DEFECTIVE SINCE THE PURCHASE OF MY JEEP. MY JEEP SERVICE-CENTER HAS ATTEMPTED MANY TIMES TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM WITH NO SUCCESS. SINCE THE JEEP TPM SYSTEM IS REPORTING BOGUS INFORMATION, THE TPM ERROR MESSAGES ARE USELESS. THEREFORE THE ENTIRE TPM SYSTEM IS USELESS AND NOT OPERATING AS REQUIRED BY THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION (NHTSA), DOT., 49 CFR PARTS 571 AND 585, [DOCKET NO. NHTSA 2005-20586], RIN 2127-AJ23

MY VEHICLE WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE IN TRAFFIC CAUSING ME TO ALMOST GET HIT IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. I COULD DO NOTHING BUT COAST AND BRAKE. ALL GEARS BECAME HIGHLIGHTED WHICH WERE NOT PREVIOUSLY. I AM WORRIED IF THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN I WILL BE IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ENCOUNTER AMONG JEEP OWNERS BUT THERE IS NO RECALL.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ON RT3 HEADING WEST TOWARDS WEST CHESTER PA PASSING BY PROVIDENCE ROAD I WAS GOING ABOUT 55MPH WHEN MY JEEP SHUT OFF AND I LOST POWER TO THE ENGINE (THIS WAS VERY SCARY). I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND EVENTUALLY GOT MY JEEP STARTED AGAIN. ABOUT 6 MONTHS LATER I WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND AGAIN MY JEEP SHUT OFF. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT AGAIN A FEW SECONDS LATER. I BELIEVE THIS IS AN IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM. *TR
