2007 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4 Power Train Problems

DRIVING STRAIGHT AHEAD AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH ON A TURNPIKE THE ENGINE AND ALL POWER IMMEDIATELY AND INSTANTLY SHUT OFF. VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 110,300 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. QUITE A SCARY CIRCUMSTANCE. AS I WAS PULLING OFF THE MAIN FREEWAY TO THE SHOULDER, I TURNED THE IGNITION TO START AND THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY STARTED, SEEMED TO RUN FINE, AND I PROCEEDED ON AS IF NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. NO ERROR OR WARNING LIGHTS WERE ON THE DASH. 5.7L HEMI ENGINE. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A VERY BAD ACCIDENT.

WHILE DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLS OUT, OBVIOUSLY RESULTING IN A LOSS OF POWER STEERING & BRAKES. THIS HAS HAPPENED 50+/- TIMES OVER THE LAST 2 YEARS OF MY OWNERSHIP. THE PROBLEM HAS INTENSIFIED OVER THE LAST 2 WEEKS, BUT WOULD ALWAYS RE START AFTER SHIFTING INTO PARK. LAST NIGHT (10/8/2017) IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS TIME WHILE MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH. THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER AS I COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. THIS TIME IT WOULD NOT START & I HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED. THROUGH ON-LINE RESEARCH, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THE JEEP COMMANDER (4.7L) DATING BACK TO WHEN THE VEHICLES WERE NEW. THE FIX FOR THE PROBLEM VARIES GREATLY. GIVEN THE TIMELINE FOR THIS PROBLEM, ITS OBVIOUS THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT DAIMLER CHRYSLER (NOW FIAT CHRYSLER USA) IS AWARE OF & MAKES NO ATTEMPT AT A...

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...

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.

MY STORY IS THE FDCM WAS UPDATED WITH THE P73 UPDATE AT A DEALERSHIP IN LITTLE ROCK ARKANSAS, I HAD TO TAKE IT BACK TWICE BECAUSE THE SERVICE 4WD DRIVE LIGHT CAME ON AFTER THE UPDATE. THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE UPDATE. I LIVE IN ALABAMA AND NOW I WAS TOLD BY THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP THAT THE TRANSFER CASE IS WORN OUT. I BELIVE THEY ONLY TOLD ME THAT BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T WANT TO WORK ON IT. I CARE LITTLE ABOUT TRYING TO GET SOMETHING FIXED THAT FIRST OF ALL I HAVE NO LDEA WHAT THE PROBLEM IS OR WHATS NEEDED TO REPAIR IT OTHER THAN TRADING IN THE VEHICLE. I HAVE PURCHASED 5 JEEPS IN THE PAST 20 YEARS. THIS ONE WILL BE THE LAST.

VEHICLE HAD THE IGNITION SWITCH FIXED WITH THE PRIOR RECALL, BUT I AM STILL HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT WHICH HAS TURNED ON AND THE VEHICLE SLOWS DOWN AND SEEMS TO GO INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING. THIS OCCURS AROUND 20 MPH, LOCAL ROADS AND LUCKILY NOT ON A HIGHWAY YET AND IF I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR NOTHING OCCURS AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT FLASHES. MY TRUCK HAS NOT COME UP UNDER THE RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE BUT I FEEL THAT IT IS RELATED ESPECIALLY AFTER READING ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS, PLEASE HELP.

AFTER STARTING VEHICLE AND SHIFTED INTO DRIVE, LOUD CLUNKING NOISE AND GRINDING BEGAN AS THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO MOVE FORWARD. SEVERAL DASHBOARD INDICATOR INCLUDING ABS AND STABILITY CONTROL LIT WITH "SERVICE 4X4 SYSTEM" MESSAGE. TOOK VEHICLE TO CHRYSLER/JEEP DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE AND TO HAVE RECALLS CORRECTED, INCLUDING MANUFACTURER RECALL N23 (NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 13V-175) REGARDING 'UNINTENTIONALLY CAUSE THE TRANSFER CASE TO SHIFT INTO THE NEUTRAL POSITION WITHOUT INPUT FROM THE DRIVER.' FIRST AVAILABLE DATE FOR SERVICE WAS 7-15-15. DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT INFORMED ME THAT THE TRANSFER CASE CONTROL MODULE (CHRYSLER PART NO. 56044129AP) WAS CORRUPT/NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. N23 RECALL STILL SHOWS UNDER MY VIN AS INCOMPLETE. PART WAS ORDERED BY PARTS DEPARTMENT AT DEALERSHIP AT TIME OF INITIAL SERVICE. I WAITED APPROX. 4 WEEKS FOR THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP TO OBTAIN THE PART. AFTER MULTIPLE PHONE CALLS, I WAS INFORMED THAT THEY RECEIVED...

ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO, MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4, 4.7L, LIMITED, INEXPLICABLY STALLED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 60 MILES PER HOUR. SINCE THAT FIRST STALLING EPISODE, THIS HAS OCCURRED AT LEAST 30 MORE TIMES. IT HAPPENS IN THE CITY, THE FREEWAY, DURING ACCELERATION, AND UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS VEHICLE TO THE JEEP DEALER ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. EACH TIME, THEY TELL ME THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. FURTHERMORE, THEY TELL ME THAT THIS IS AN ISOLATED PROBLEM THAT THEY HAVEN'T HEARD ABOUT BEFORE. A SIMPLE INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS IS A WIDELY REPORTED PROBLEM AND OWNERS REPORT THE SAME EXPLANATIONS FROM THE DEALERSHIPS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE DID NOT SHIFT OUT OF FOURTH GEAR AND ALL OF THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSFER CASE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER FOR THE SAME FAILURE WHERE THE DIAGNOSIS WAS UNKNOWN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKING FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THE TRANSMISSION'S ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR SEALS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 14V438000 AND 13V175000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,POWER TRAIN) HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIRS WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. UPDATED 5/20/15*CN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V175000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN). HOWEVER, THE PARTS NEEDED WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT A FOLLOW UP NOTICE WAS RECEIVED IN THE SUMMER OF 2014, BUT PARTS WERE STILL UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

THE VEHICLE IGNITION IS FAULTY AND UNDER RECALL. THE VEHICLE WILL JUST TURN OFF BY ITSELF. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER JEEP BUT THEY HAVE NOT RETURNED MY CALLS TO REPAIR THIS VEHICLE. I OWN 2 OF THESE JEEP COMMANDERS AND NEITHER OF THEM ARE SAFE TO DRIVE. CHRYSLER IS AWARE THAT THEY ARE NOT SAFE BUT YET WILL NOT REPAIR THEM OR PROVIDE SAFE TRANSPORTATION UNTIL REPAIR IS MADE. *TR

I HAD THE N23 RECALL DONE ON MY XK AND NOW THE SERVICE 4WD LIGHT COMES ON. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THIS HAS HAPPENED A LOT. DEALERSHIP SAYS ITS NOT THEIR PROBLEM AND WONT FIX IT. 4WD HAD NO ISSUES AT ALL TILL THE RECALL WAS DONE. *TR

WE WERE ON INTERSTATE 57 GOING 65 MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE JEEP JERKED LIKE IT WAS DOWN SHIFTING AND JUST SHUT OFF. WE HAD A SEMI BEHIND US WHICH ALMOST HIT US BUT WE WERE ABLE TO COAST ONTO THE SIDE OF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WE THEN TURNED THE KEY OFF AND THEN RESTARTED THE CAR AND IT STARTED OKAY BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. THE ENGINE LIGHT FINALLY WENT OFF BY ITSELF. SINCE THEN WHEN DRIVING THE JEEP JERKS AND ACTS LIKE IT DOWN SHIFTING AND THE RPMS GOES WAY UP. WE ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE IT ON A HIGHWAY BECAUSE SHUTTING OFF LIKE THAT ON THE INTERSTATE COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I AM READING SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FROM OTHERS WHO OWN 2007 JEEP COMMANDERS SO THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING FAULTY! THIS COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT!!! WE JUST PURCHASED THIS FROM...

DURING COMMUTE TO WORK, VEHICLE SHIFTING IN A JERKY MANNER AND RPMS ARE HIGH AND ERRATIC FOR SPEED OF VEHICLE. AT 10:00, WHEN DRIVING TO A MEETING, WHEN FIRST PUTTING JEEP INTO GEAR, THE GEAR DISPLAY "D" DISAPPEARED AND "4" WAS IN ITS PLACE, CONCERNING ME THAT THE OVERDRIVE WENT OUT (I'VE ALREADY HAD A SOLENOID PACK REPLACED DUE TO THE OVERDRIVE "GOING OUT" - HAPPENED ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO). VEHICLE DID NOT WANT TO MOVE FORWARD AS I WAS ATTEMPTING TO PULL OUT ONTO THE STREET. FORTUNATELY, IT MOVED FORWARD AND I REACHED MY DESTINATION. DURING COMMUTE HOME, ABOUT 5 MILES INTO MY DRIVE ON THE TOLL ROAD, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ENGINE STALLED. HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, PLACE IN PARK, TURN OFF IGNITION SWITCH, TURN BACK ON, AND RESUMED MY COMMUTE HOME. *TR

TACHOMETER READS HIGH RPMS FOR SPEED, JERKS WHEN SHIFTING. *TR

TACHOMETER RPMS READ HIGH FOR SPEED, JERKS WHEN SHIFTING. *TR

TACHOMETER READS HIGH RPMS FOR SPEED, JERKS WHEN SHIFTING. THIS LASTED SEVERAL DAYS. *TR

DRIVING ON TOLL ROAD, 65-70MPH, ENGINE STALLED, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, LOST POWER STEERING, HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. PUT INTO PARK, TURNED OFF IGNITION, RESTARTED. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON AND CONTINUED DRIVING. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON UNTIL MID-AFTERNOON THAT DAY. ALSO NOTICED SHIFTING WAS JERKY. *TR

TACHOMETER REGISTERED HIGH RPMS FOR SPEED. SPEED RANGED FROM 30-70MPH. VEHICLE WOULD SHIFT IN A JERKY MANNER. CONTACTED DEALERSHIP AND ARRANGED TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT ON 8-7. *TR

TACHOMETER REGISTERS HIGH FOR SPEED, SHIFTS IN A JERKY MANNER. DEALERSHIP SCANNED AND FOUND NO CODES. FOUND VACUUM LEAK AT IAC MOTOR. REPLACED IDLE AIR CONTROL MOTOR. RECHECKED OPERATION AND TEST DROVE. *TR

2007 JEEP COMMANDER (PURCHASED USED IN THE FALL OF 2012): AS I WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT, THE CAR ABRUPTLY SPED UP, CAUSING ME TO LOSE CONTROL. I CRASHED INTO AN UTILITY POLE DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM THE PARKING LOT EXIT AS A RESULT. THE CAR IS NOW TOTALED AND THE UTILITY POLE WAS DAMAGED (LEANING OVER). I TRAVELED APPROXIMATELY 26 FEET, AT A SPEED HIGH ENOUGH TO CREATE THAT AMOUNT OF DAMAGE. AS SOMEONE WHO HAS DRIVEN PROFESSIONALLY FOR MANY YEARS, THIS WAS UNNERVING AND UNUSUAL. ALSO, AROUND 3 MONTHS AGO THE SAME SITUATION HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I WAS FOLLOWING A CAR GOING 45 MPH, AND MY COMMANDER SUDDENLY SPED UP, CAUSING ME TO APPLY THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN. I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING OF IT AT THE TIME, BUT NOW I AM WONDERING IF THERE IS/WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. *TR

VEHICLE CONTINUES TO STALL. AT 40MPH, ENGINE SURGES THEN DROPS IN RPM. DROPS RPM TO THE POINT OF STALLING. IDLE AIR CONTROL (IAC) VALVE, THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR (TPS), AND EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR) VALVES HAVE BEEN REPLACED SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH NO CHANGE. ONLY WAY TO DRIVE IS TO MANUALLY SHIFT TO KEEP RPMS ABOVE 2,000 WHILE DRIVING AND TO USE BOTH THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR PEDALS TO KEEP RPM ABOVE 1,200 WHEN AT STOPS. NO OBD2 SERVICE CODES ARE EVER TRIGGERED. *TR

VEHICLE STALLED WHILE REVERSING INTO PARKING SPACE VEHICLE STALLS COMING TO STOPS.......MUST BE RESTARTED TO CONTINUE ON. VEHICLE REVS REALLY LOW AT IDLE, IDLES BOUNCE 200-400 RPM (BETWEEN 600-1300 RPM), THEN STALLS. *TR

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME MY VEHICLE HAS DONE THIS. THE VEHICLE IS WORKING PROPERLY AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WILL NOT START AND I GET MULTIPLE GAUGE NOTIFICATIONS POPULATE INCLUDING CHECK GAUGES, TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP. THIS TIME IT WILL NOT START AT ALL, I HAVE TRIED TO START IT EVERY DAY MULTIPLE TIMES AND IT WILL NOT START. THE SAME MESSAGES ARE STILL POPULATING, THE BATTERY IS GOOD, I HAVE A BRAND NEW STARTER, THERE IS FUEL. THE VEHICLE POWERS UP, I CAN OPERATE EVERYTHING BUT THE VEHICLE WON'T EVEN TRY TO TURNOVER. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER LIMITED EDITION 4X4 IN CITY TRAFFIC DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC WHEN IT STALLED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO CAME ON. AFTER RESTARTING THE ENGINE, THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. THIS STALLING AND ENGINE LIGHT WARNING HAS SINCE HAPPENED AT LEAST 100 MORE TIMES OVER THE LAST 4 YEARS. DEALER AND INDEPENDENT MECHANICS ARE UNABLE TO TROUBLESHOOT THE PROBLEM. THE MOST RECENT EVENT HAPPENED ON 6/8/14. COMPLETE ENGINE STALL ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. VEHICLE WAS TOWED 65 MILES TO HOME TOWN. MECHANIC REPLACED ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY. ENGINE STARTED FINE, RAN WELL FOR 2 DAYS AND THEN ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON WITH INTERMITTENT STALLING AND ROUGH IDLING. JEEP IS AT DEALER AS WE SPEAK. DEALER STATED THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND WILL KEEP THE VEHICLE OVERNIGHT AND TRY TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM TOMORROW. *TR

AT THE SOUTH PADRE ISLAND I GOT STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF NO WHERE DO TO MY 4X4 TRANSFER CASE NOT ENGAGING ON LOW GEAR. I CHECKED THE INTERNET AND FOUND OUT THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE DO TO AN UPDATE BY THE DEALER N23 TO JEEP COMMANDERS, BEFORE THIS UPDATE MY COMMANDER ALWAYS WORKED PERFECTLY. I GOT CONCERNED DO TO HAVING MY FAMILY WITH ME, WIFE AND TWO CHILDREN 9 AND 11. I AM GOING TOMORROW TO THE JEEP CAR DEALER TO FIX THIS ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE 4WD WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY AS THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO OPERATE IN 4WD. THE FAILURE OCCURRED AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 13V175000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM , POWER TRAIN). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TRANSFER CASE ACTUATOR WAS REPLACED AT THE OWNER'S EXPENSE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

STARTING IN SEPTEMBER OF 2013 WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE TRAVELING AT 70MPH IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF 3, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AND THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND WE HAD TO DRIFT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WE GOT OF THE ROAD TO THE SIDE PUT THE JEEP IN PARK AND AFTER SEVERAL TRIES IT RESTARTED. WE HAVE NOTICED ON OCCASIONS AFTER THIS, WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO TURN THERE IS A CLUNK IN THE DRIVETRAIN. SOON AFTER THE CLUNK STARTS, THAT IS WHEN THE JEEP WILL SHUT OFF. IT HAS HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND AT SIGNAL LIGHTS. AFTER THE FIRST IT SHUT OFF WE TOOK IT TO A JEEP DEALER AND THEY PUT ON IN ON THE COMPUTED BUT SAID IT DIDN'T SHOW ANYTHING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 10 TIMES SINCE SEPTEMBER AND YOU TAKE YOUR LIKE IN YOUR HANDS EVERYTIME YOU GET ON THE INTERSTATE. *TR

THIS WILL BE THE 3RD ELECTRIC SHIFT MODULE PUT IN THIS VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE LOST POWER THEN STALLED IN TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE, WHILE STOPPED IN TRAFFIC, WOULD SURGE. IF THE BRAKE WASN'T APPLIED, IT WOULD HAVE STRUCK THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF MINE. WHEN THE PROBLEM FIRST STARTED, THE INCIDENTS OF STALLING AND SURGING WERE MINIMAL. AS TIME WENT ON, THE INCIDENTS WERE MORE FREQUENT. THE PREVIOUS SWITCH MODULE (21030400768004143-AF) WAS REPLACED ($1067.00/DEALER ONLY PART/REPAIR COST). THE LATEST MODULE (DEALER ONLY PART COST ME $1008.04 (PART & REPAIR COST). THIS IS THE 2ND REPORT TO YOU ON THIS VEHICLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, ALL OF THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS SIMULTANEOUSLY ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE THEN ACCELERATED AND DECELERATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE SHIFT GEAR BOX WOULD NEED REPLACING. THE GEAR BOX WAS REPLACED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE LATER RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER UT HE WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 115,000.

WE HAVE ONLY OWNED THIS USED JEEP FOR NOT EVEN TWO MONTHS, BOUGHT FROM US AUTO SALES OCT 18 2013, VEHICLE BEGAN JERKING AROUND ALL OVER OUT OF THE BLUE COULD BARELY DRIVE IT ALMOST CAUSED US TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT, HAD TO PULL OVER MULTIPLE TIMES, TOOK FOR SERVICE, SAID IT WAS NOT TRANSMISSION OR ENGINE, SEE ON INTERNET FIVE RECALLS, HAVE READ MANY PEOPLE HAVING ISSUES, TODAY VEHICLE FREEZES UP WHILE DRIVING TWICE, DECELERATES POWERS DOWN TO ALMOST A STALL OUT IN TRAFFIC WHILE MY FIVE KIDS ARE IN THIS VEHICLE WITH ME! VERY DANGEROUS, READ ON INTERNET MULTIPLE PLACES AND PEOPLE HAVING SAME ISSUES AND CHRYSLER NOT FIXING PROBLEMS??? WHY NOT DO THEY WANT TO BE SUED OR CAUSE AN ACCIDENT? MY VEHICLE JUST STARTED DOING THIS NOW TWO MONTHS AFTER BUYING IT USED!!!!! TWICE IN ONE DAY FREEZES UP WHILE TRYING TO DRIVE IT, POWERS...

I TOOK MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER TO GET A N23 RECALL DONE ON IT. WITHOUT CHECKING ANYTHING BEFORE I DROVE OFF THE LOT AFTER THEY DID THE UPDATE, I TRIED MY 4LO DRIVE OUT AND WOULD NOT WORK A FEW WEEKS LATER. I ADVISED THE JEEP DEALERSHIP OF THE PROBLEM BUT THEY SAID HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE RECALL. AS I LOOKED FURTHER INTO MY SITUATION IM NOT THE ONLY PERSON TO EXPERIENCE THIS ISSUE WITH THIS EXACT RECALL. I HAD JEEP TAKE IT BACK IN TO LOOK OVER THE RECALL. THEY HAD MY VEHICLE FOR 2 DAYS TO TELL ME THAT ITS MY TRANSFER CASE ACTUATOR THAT HAS GONE OUT. AS I ADVISED THAT THE PAPERWORK I GAVE TO THEM REGUARDING THIS RECALL IS IN REGUARDS TO MY TRANSFER CASE ACTUATOR ELECTRICAL FAILURE. BUT THEY INSIST ITS NOW UP TO ME TO PAY AND FIX THIS MYSELF. SO...

AFTER TAKING THE JEEP COMMANDER IN TO A DEALER SHIP TO GET RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 13V175000 FIXED THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN WANTING TO TURN OFF AT RANDOM. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE IN PARK OR EVEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE 1ST TIME IT HAPPEN, I WAS ACCELERATING WHILE GETTING ON THE HIGH WAY AND I WAS GOING ABOUT 40 MPH AND THE ENGINE LOST ALL POWER AND IT WAS HARD TO STEER. IT LASTED ABOUT 4 SEC AND THEN STOPPED. THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPEN WAS GOING DOWN THE HIGH WAY ABOUT 65 MPH WITH THE CRUISE ON AND IT DID THE SAME THING AND THE LAST TIME IT DID IT THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. EACH TIME IT HAPPENS IT ONLY LAST ABOUT 4-5 SECS. IT JUST STARTED DOING IT RIGHT AFTER THE DEALER SHIP REPROGRAMMED THE ECM TO FIX THE RECALL. *JB

I WAS NOTIFIED OF A RECALL NOTICE ON MY COMMANDER IN JUNE. THE RECALL (N23) STATES THE CAR CAN SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL WHILE IN THE PARKED POSITION. MY CAR HAS SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL TWICE WHILE MOVING, ONCE WHILE I WAS TRAVELING 25 MPH AND ONCE AT 70 MPH. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND CHRYSLER. THE PART IS CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE TO FIX THE RECALL ISSUE. THEY INFORMED ME THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO BUT WAIT. THEY DO NOT HAVE AN EXPECTED DATE FOR THE PART'S ARRIVAL. I'M LEFT WITHOUT A VEHICLE, AND THEY DO NOT COVER LOANER CARS FOR THEIR RECALL. *TR

SINCE SEPT. 2012 I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE NOT STARTING AND THE DASHBOARD MESSAGE IS "TRANSMISSION OVER HEAT" OR "TRANSMISSION TEMP OVER HEAT". IT WILL NOT START AT ALL. THIS PAST SUNDAY IT STARTED BUT IT WOULD CUT OFF LIKE IT WAS OUT OF GAS BUT THERE WAS A MORE THAN HALF FULL. I HAD TO GET TOWED FOR THE 2ND TIME IN A WEEK AND FOR THE 5TH TIME SINCE 2012. NO ONE SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM AND FIX IT PERMANENTLY SO THIS PROBLEM DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. I AM A DISABLED WOMAN AND CAN'T AFFORD TO BE STRANDED EVERY TIME I GET IN MY VEHICLE AND HAVE TO SIT AND WAIT FOR A TOW FOR OVER AN HOUR. I ALSO HAVE TO KEEP PAYING FOR REPAIRS THAT HAVEN'T BEEN WORKING SO THAT'S DRAINING ME. IS THERE A REASON FOR THIS PROBLEM AND...

PURCHASED THE JEEP IN JANUARY OF 2011. WITHIN A MONTH OF OWNING IT, IT WOULD RANDOMLY STALL WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. WHEN THE JEEP STALLS, ALL OF THE LIGHTS IN THE DASHBOARD ILLUMINATE. YOU CAN PUSH DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THE RPM'S GO UP, BUT THE SPEED STILL DECREASES UNTIL THE VEHICLE STOPS. IT WILL CUT RIGHT BACK ON AFTER STOPPING AND CUTTING THE ENGINE OFF. THE VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY DO THIS NO MATTER THE WEATHER CONDITIONS, SPEED, OR ANYTHING ELSE. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT AND I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD HAVE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM THEMSELVES TO FIX IT. SINCE IT RANDOMLY MESSES UP UNDER NO SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES, I COULDN'T LEAVE THE VEHICLE WITH THEM WHILE THEY DROVE IT EVERY DAY TRYING TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM. JEEP HAS DONE THIS PROBABLY 10 TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED...

ON OR ABOUT THE ABOVE DATE THE RPMS ON MY VEHICLE RACED UP AND THE CAR SUDDENLY LUNGED FORWARD, IT HAPPENED AGAIN A FEW TIMES AFTERWARD WITHOUT ANY CHECK ENGINE CODES. I HAD IT CHECKED BACK THEN AND NOTHING WAS FOUND BECAUSE NO CODES WERE PRESENT.THIS HAPPENED A COUPLE OF TIMES A YEAR SINCE I OWNED IT, BUT NOTICED IT HAPPENS WHEN IT'S RAINING. TODAY 3/12/2013 (HEAVY RAIN) MY WIFE WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND IT RACED & LUNGED FORWARD JUST MISSING A PEDESTRIAN. I IMMEDIATELY BROUGHT IT TO A NEIHBORHOOD JEEP DEALER & EXPLAINED THE SEVERITY OF THE SITUATION. HE WAS VERY ACCOMODATING AND TOOK IT IN IMMEDIATELY. AFTER A FEW HOURS IN THE SHOP & A TEST DRIVE ,AGAIN, NOTHING FOUND. THERE WERE NO ENGINE CODES PRESENT, ALL OTHER COMPONENTS WERE WITH-IN SPECS. I ASKED IF THIS IS A SIMILAR PROBLEM TO THE 2006 RECALL, HE SAID...

WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO DRIVE, OR REVERSE TO DRIVE, THE ENGINE STALLS AND IT TAKES ALMOST A MINUTE FOR THE SHIFT TO ACTUALLY OCCUR SO I CAN DRIVE. *TR

AFTER STOPPING AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS, STOP SIGNS OR AWAITING TRAFFIC TO CLEAR IN ORDER TO MAKE TURNS, THE ENGINE STALLS BUT WILL RE-FIRE AFTER PLACING TRANSMISSION IN PARK OR NEUTRAL AND TURNING THE IGNITION KEY. (I JUST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND OUT FROM THE PREVIOUS OWNER THAT THE PROBLEM BEGAN DURING THE SUMMER OF 2012, RESULTING IN THE TRADE-IN BECAUSE TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. DEALERS REPLACED THE FOLLOWING: MAP SENSOR, CAM AND CRANK SENSOR, EGR VALVE, CLEANED THROTTLE BODY, REPLACED THE PCM, SPARK PLUGS, REPLACED AIR IDLE CONTROL VALVE, REPLACED BATTERY. NONE OF THE ABOVE HAVE FIXED THE STALLING PROBLEM WHICH COULD GET ONE KILLED IN TRAFFIC.) *TR

VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT A SPEED OF SIXTY FIVE MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, WHEN THE ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF, LOSING POWER AND MAKING IT VERY HARD TO GET THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD AND STOPPED SAFELY. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES IN THE YEAR WE HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF IT MAKES IT VERY HARD TO TURN BECAUSE POWER STEERING IS DISABLED BECAUSE THE ENGINE IS NOT RUNNING. WHEN THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF IT MAKES IT VERY HARD TO GET TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROADWAY WITHOUT ANY ENGINE POWER AND THE SUDDEN SLOWING DOWN IS A VERY HIGH RISK FOR A REAREND COLLISION. WE HAVE HAD NUMEROUS CLOSE CALLS IN THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE REPLACED NUMEROUS PARTS TO TRY AND RESOLVE THIS ISSUE BUT WITH NO SUCCESS IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES TO...

I WAS PULLING OUT ONTO THE HIGHWAY. AS I GOT UP TO AROUND 15 MPH, ALL THE SHIFT INDICATOR LIGHTS LIT UP ,AROUND PARK, NEUTRAL, DRIVE AND REVERSE. MY ACCELERATION CUT OFF. I COULDN'T ACCELERATE PAST, MAYBE, 20 MPH. THE RPMS WOULD GO UP, WITH NO RESPONSE FROM THE VEHICLE. I HAD CARS COMING UP FAST BEHIND ME AND I COULDN'T GO ANY FASTER OR PULL OFF, TILL THE NEXT TURN OFF. ALSO, IF I'M PULLING OUT, FROM A STOP, SOMETIMES I JUST LOSE POWER AND MY CAR CRAWLS ON TO THE ROAD, ESPECIALLY IF ON A INCLINE. IT'S REALLY SCARY AND DANGEROUS. *TR

2007 JEEP COMMANDER LIMITED 5.7L HEMI STALLED AGAIN WHILE DRIVING. THIS TIME, MY DAUGHTER WAS PULLING INTO THE DRIVEWAY WHEN IT STALLED AND SHE HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE BRAKES OR STEERING BECAUSE THEY DON'T WORK WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLS. SHE JUST ABOUT DROVE THROUGH THE GARAGE DOOR. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND MUST BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR EVEN WORSE, KILLED. I TOOK IT TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP AND THEY UPDATED THE PCM, BUT AS SOON AS I LEFT IT STALLED AGAIN, SO I TOOK IT BACK AND THEY REPLACED AN IGNITION COIL. AS SOON AS I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY ON MY WAY HOME, IT STALLED AGAIN. THEY WANT TO REPLACE ALL OF THE IGNITION COILS WHICH WILL COST ABOUT $550, AND THEY CLAIM THIS MAY FIX THE ISSUE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW JEEP DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS ISSUE. THERE ARE THOUSANDS...

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

3RD ROW SEAT BELTS BREAK AND ARE UNUSABLE WHENEVER THE 3RD ROW SEATS ARE FOLDED DOWN. THE PLASTIC PIECE IS PUSHED OVER THE METAL LATCHING PIECE OF THE SEAT BELT. THEY HAVE BEEN FIXED AND ARE NOW BROKEN AGAIN, NOW THE 3RD ROW SEAT CANNOT BE USED FOR PASSENGERS. WATER FROM RAIN IS COMING THROUGH THE DOORS, PUDDLING AT THE BASE OF THE DOOR. THE JEEP WAS IN PARK, WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE IT WOULD NOT GO, ALL OF THE PRD WERE LIT UP WITH BLOCKS AROUND THEM. I TURNED OFF THE JEEP AND I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE. *TR

MY 2007 HEMI COMMANDER PURCHASED AUG 30TH 2012 HAD A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM YESTERDAY.. I CAN NOT DRIVE IT ALL AT, IT IS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. WHAT SHOULD I DO? *TR

HARD DOWNSHIFT MOSTLY AT LOWER SPEEDS AND SLOWING DOWN. SOMETIMES VERY HARD OTHER TIMES NOT SO HARD BUT DEFINITELY PRESENT. IT HAS SOUNDS LIKE A BANG WITH A JERK ALSO. SOMETHING IS GOING TO BREAK AS THIS IS NOT GOING AWAY. CURRENTLY UNDER WARRANTY AND CAN'T FIX IT. GREAT! WHAT HAPPENS WHEN MY WARRANTY IS UP AND IT FALLS APART AND BIG BUCKS TO FIX FROM THE ABUSE IT TOOK BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM. WAS TOLD I MAY HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT. I DON'T FLIPPING THINKS SO. $36,700.00 FOR THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW. NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM UNTIL 50K MILES. SOMETHING IS WRONG. ASKING FOR HELP CHRYSLER!! FIX THAT GERMAN TRANSMISSION! BIG PROBLEM GETTING WORSE AND DEALERSHIP HAS HAD IT 4 TIMES IN A MONTH. DOES NOT HAVE A CLUE. THEY SAY IT'S FIXED. I DRIVE AWAY AND WITHIN A DAY IT COMES RIGHT BACK. CALL...

THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO SLAM INTO GEAR UPON RELEASE OF THE ACCELERATOR WHEN SLOWING DOWN UPON THE AUTOMATIC DOWNSHIFTING THAT TAKE PLACE. SOMETIME IS SEEMS QUITE VIOLENT AND OTHER TIMES NOT TO BAD BUT VERY NOTICEABLE. I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE FOR THIS SAME EXACT COMPLAINT. HOWEVER THE FIX THE DEALER CLAIMED THEY DID WAS TEMPORARY. IT IS BACK AGAIN AND IS WORRISOME TO ME. ALSO THE DRIVER SIDE WIDOW DOES NOT ROLL UP OR DOWN PROPERLY WITHOUT SLAMMING HARD NEAR THE CLOSE OR OPEN AND SOMETHING INSIDE RATTLES PRETTY BAD. THE DEALER ALSO HAS REPAIRED THIS AND IT WAS ALSO TEMPORARY, REALLY NEVER FIXED. *TR
