2008 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4 Engine And Engine Cooling Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAITED A FEW SECONDS AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AS NORMAL. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE YET THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS ADVISED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,540 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 24,595.

OUR 2008 COMMANDER HAS STALLED FOR NO REASON ON TWO OCCASIONS RECENTLY. IN BOTH INSTANCES, WE WERE DRIVING SLOW, ONE INTO A PARKING SPOT AND ONE INTO OUR GARAGE, AND THE JEEP STALLED. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN WELL-MAINTAINED AND DRIVEN RESPONSIBLY. WE ARE TAKING IT TO THE SHOP THIS WEEK, BUT THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH JEEP COMMANDERS AND IS LIKELY VERY DIFFICULT TO RESOLVE. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER, AND I HAVE HAD IT IN TO THE DEALER ABOUT 3 OR 4 TIMES NOW OVER STALLING ISSUES. THE FIRST TIME THE DEALER THOUGHT IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE MAP SENSOR, WELL IT STALLED OUT THE LIKE 1-2 DAYS LATER. THEN THEY THOUGH IT NEEDED A TRANSMISSION SOFTWARE UPDATE. JUST THE OTHER DAY MY FAMILY AND I WERE COMING HOME FROM MY INLAWS AND IT STALLED AGAIN AND THIS TIME IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTER SECTION AND I WAS SO MAD. I FINALLY PUSHED THE TRUCK TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND COULD NOT START IT, IT TOOK ABOUT 1/2 OF AN HOUR TO START IT AND HOLDING DOWN THE GAS PEDDLE. WELL OFF TO THE DEALER AGAIN. I GOT A CALL THE MORNING OF 10/14/2008 AND THEY THINK ITS THE FUEL PUMP NOW, COME ON IT HAS ONLY 14K...

MAKING A RIGHT TURN AT AN INTERSECTION AND CAR DIED IN MID-TURN. I PULLED OVER AND IT RESTARTED. I HAVE HAD A SIMILAR INCIDENT, I REPORTED IT 5/19/08 # 10228160. I TOOK THE CAR IN AND IT WAS REPAIRED PER RECALL NOTICE. DEALERSHIP IS NOT HOPEFUL THEY WILL BE ABLE TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM UNTIL IT GETS WORSE! *TR

DRIVING ON HWY 51 IN TULSA. MY 2008 JEEP COMMANDER STALLED AT 55-60 MPH. COASTED TO AN OFF RAMP, PUT IN PARK AND IT RESTARTED. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP IN BROKEN ARROW, OK. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME I HAVE TO HAVE A CODE READING BEFORE THEY CAN DO ANYTHING, AND BECAUSE IT WAS THE FIRST TIME IT MAY NOT PRODUCE A CODE, IF SO, THEY COULD DO NOTHING AND GOOD LUCK. I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW AND IT HAS ONLY 2000 MILES. *TR
