2007 JEEP COMMANDER Engine Problems

I COMPLETED A RECALL (14V-438 RECALL DATE: SEPTEMBER 3, 2014 MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER: P41) UNDERSTANDING THAT MY PROBLEM WOULD END. THE IGNITION KEY RECALL WORK: WHEN I INSERT THE KEY TO THE IGNITION, IT TAKES AN EFFORT TO PUSH AND TURN THE IGNITION KEY. 1) I AM AFRAID THE KEY WILL BREAK OFF AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. 2) I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THE LIGHT FLICKERING AND ELECTRIC PANEL SHUTDOWN (ENGINE STILL RUNNING, BUT PANEL SEEMS TO BE DISCONNECTED FROM ENGINE PERFORMANCE AT THIS POINT) 3) MY VEHICLE CONTINUES TO ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN WITH FOOT ON BRAKES ONLY WHEN STOPPED AT A LIGHT OR STOPPED AND MAKING TURNS, OR STOPPED ON "P- PARK" WITH ENGINE IDLING JOLTIN MY HEAD/BODY (TO DESCRIBE HOW MUCH IT IS FELT).

I HAVE A 2007 JEEP SAME ENGINE AND TRANS, IT IS DOING SAME THINK AS THE 2006 RECALL IS EXPRESSING. ALL I GET FROM DEALER IS THEY CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG. I CAN'T GET THEM TO HELP ME WITH ANYTHING. IF YOU SEARCH THE WEB YOU WILL SEE THIS IS A BIG ISSUE ON THE 2007 JEEPS ALSO. I WAS VERY CLOSE TO GETTING INTO A CRASH TODAY. THIS IS THE 4TH TIME IT HAS HAPPENED. RECALL NUMBER: 08V203000RECALL DATE: 05/06/2008 COMPONENT: POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM, PCM) PROBLEM SUMMARY: CHRYSLER IS RECALLING 24,461 MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 4.7L V8 ENGINES.

VEHICLE FAILED TO START. ALL LIGHTS, GAUGES, ETC. WERE OPERATIONAL. FAILED TO ENGAGE STARTER. TOWED TO REPAIR FACILITY. VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A FAULTY POWER CONTROL MODULE. REPAIR SHOP REPORTED THAT DUE TO NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH THE MODULE ACROSS THE COUNTY, THE REPLACEMENT PART IS CURRENTLY NOT AVAILABLE AND MAY TAKE UP TO A WEEK OR LONGER BEFORE THE PART IS AVAILABLE. APPARENTLY, THIS IS A COMMON FAULT IN THESE VEHICLES AND RENDERS OUR VEHICLE INOPERABLE FOR AN UNACCEPTABLE LENGTH OF TIME.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WOULD JUST SHUT OFF AT RANDOM LOSING BRAKES, STEERING AND ENGINE POWER AS WELL AS OTHER COMFORT FEATURES. IT HAS HAPPENED ON AT LEAST 6 OCCASIONS, USUALLY YOU COULD JUST SHIFT TO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING AND RESTART THE CAR FIXING THE ISSUES. TODAY HOWEVER IT HAPPENED WILL SWITCHING LANES TO THE CENTER TURN LANE. UPON APPLYING THE BRAKES TO WAIT TO TURN LEFT THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, THEN ON THE SECOND DEPRESS IT WAS SUPER STIFF AND VERY LITTLE BRAKING FORCE APPLIED. THIS CAUSED THE JEEP TO REAR END THE 2 OTHER CARS WAITING TO TURN LEFT. THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY EITHER.

MY JEEP HAS BEEN GIVING ME PROBLEMS. I DROVE IT TO BIRMINGHAM, ALA FOR 3 TRIPS AND THE GAS MILEAGE DECLINED EACH TIME ( 19-17-13) MILE TO THE GALLON. THE JEEP ALSO STARTED SHAKING AND TRYING TO STOP, ESPECIALLY WHEN STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND STANDING STILL. I TOOK THE JEEP TO CHRIS MYERS IN DAPHNE, AL TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. I LEFT IT FOR 2 DAYS AND GAVE THEM COMPLAINTS OF SMELLING GAS WHEN STARTING THE ENGINE, SHAKING AT IDLE, AND LOW GAS MILEAGE. THEY DID THE DIAGNOSTIC CHECK AND FOUND MULTIPLE CYL MISFIRE. FOUND SPARK PLUGS FOULED AND TRASH IN THE FUEL RAIL. THEY REPLACED SPARK PLUGS & CLEANED FUEL RAIL. IT WAS $607.12. I DROVE THE JEEP HOME AND SEVERAL DAYS LATER IT DID THE SAME THING, STOPPING WHEN AT REGULAR SPEED ALMOST HAVING AN ACCIDENT. I CALLED THE MANAGER HE STATED TO BRING...

I DROVE 2 MILES AWAY FROM MY HOUSE AND PARKED AND TURNED OFF THE CAR. 2 HOURS LATER I WENT TO TURN ON THE CAR TO GO BACK TO HOME AND IT WOULDN'T START. ON THE DASH IT SAID TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP. AFTER I KEPT TRYING FOR A FEW MINUTES IT FINALLY TURNED ON. I GOT HOME AND TURNED IT OFF. AFTER A HOUR I TRIED AGAIN AND AGAIN IT WOULDN'T TURN ON. KEPT TRYING IT TURNED ON, I WENT TO AUTO ZONE TO GET IT CHECKED AND STARTER, ENGINE AND ALTERNATER GREAT. CALLED SEVERAL MECHANICS AND THEY COULDN'T TELL ME ANYTHING, THEY'D NEVER HEARD OF IT. ONLINE THERE'S HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. JEEPS ALREADY LOOSING A BUNCH OF CUSTOMERS, I DON'T WANT TO BE ONE OF THEM. I LOVE MY JEEP SO PLEASE FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THANKS

IN THE SUMMER OF 2014, I WAS REVERSING AND MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER TURNED OFF TWICE. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY SINCE THEN. MY JEEP TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING UP TO 30 MILES AN HOUR, AND WHILE STOPPED AT A LIGHT, AND/OR A STOP SIGN. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SOMETIMES TURNS ON, BUT NOT ALWAYS WHEN JEEP TURNS OFF. SOMETIMES IT MAKES A 'HUFFING PUFFING' NOISE LIKE IT'S STRUGGLING TO STAY ON (BEFORE IT ACTUALLY TURNS OFF). IT ALWAYS TURNS ON RIGHT AFTER, BUT I HAVE NOTICED IT MAKES A LOUD SQUEAKY SOUND WHEN IT TURNS ON AFTER I CRANK IT. THAT SQUEAKY SOUND, SOUNDS LIKE THE SOUND IT MAKES WHEN SOMEONE TRIES TO CRANK ON THE VEHICLE AFTER VEHICLE IS ALREADY BEEN ON. THE CHRYSLER RECALL CENTER MAILED ME A RECALL P41 NOTICE LAST SUMMER/FALL IN 2014. I TOOK IT TO THE CHRYSLER JEEP DEALERSHIP IN MCALLEN, TEXAS...

THE CAR STOPS WHEN IT WANTS RATHER IF I'M IN TRAFFIC, STOP SIGN, RED LIGHT, OR INTERSTATE.. THE WHEEL AND THE BRAKES WILL LOCK UP. I'VE BEEN CALLING CHRYSLER THE 1800 NUMBER AND LOCAL DEALERSHIPS SUCH AS PICAYUNE MS AND SLIDELL LA ABOUT THE SITUATION BUT NOBODY SEEMS TO CARE!!! THEY SAID THE PARTS ISN'T IN AND THAT ITS THE IGNITION SWITCH SO I PAYED OUT OF MY POCKETS FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH AND GOT IT PUT ON WITH THE MONEY THAT I DIDN'T HAVE TO SPARE BUT OBVIOUSLY THAT WASN'T THE PROBLEM.. NOW MY CAR ENGINE IS MAKING RAGGLING AND TRACTOR NOISES. BARELY WANT TO START.. BASICALLY I DON'T HAVE TRANSPORTATION TO OR FROM WORK AND SCHOOL FOR THE FALL!!!!!!!!! THANKS A LOT CHRYSLER...

I AM 74 YEARS OF AGE AND AT THE TIME OF MY HUSBAND'S DEATH FOUR YEARS AGO PURCHASED A 2007 CHRYSLER JEEP COMMANDER WHICH NOW HAS 53,815 MILES. I BEGAN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH UNEXPECTED COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER ON BOTH INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS AND RESIDENTIAL STREETS OVER THE LAST YEAR. THESE OCCURRENCES HAVE INCREASED IN FREQUENCY AT VARYING TIMES WHEN DRIVING WITHIN THE LAST SIX MONTHS, AND MOST TERRIFYING ON THE INTERSTATE WHERE I WAS FACED WITH THE REALIZATION OF DECELERATION AND CUTOFF AT THE SPEED LIMIT OF 55 MPH. I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE (P41/NHTSA14V-38), ROUND OR ABOUT APRIL 2, 2015 FROM CHRYSLER GROUP LLC INFORMING ME OF THE VEHICULAR PROBLEMS DESCRIBED I AM EXPERIENCING, CHRYSLER GROUP'S RECALL NOTICE MAKES A CLEAR AND SPECIFIC REPRESENTATION THAT REPAIRS WOULD PERFORMED TO CORRECT THE VEHICLE'S DEFECTS FREE OF CHARGE WHEN IT IS RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP. ACCORDINGLY, SOUTHFIELD CHRYSLER WAS CONTACTED...

THE 1ST INCIDENT HAPPENED AT 7:45AM WHILE I WAS STOPPED IN A LINE OF TRAFFIC HEADING TO WORK. I WENT TO PRESS THE GAS AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND TURNED THE KEY AND THE ENGINE CRANKED UP FINE. IT WAS AS THOUGH THE KEY SWITCHED BACK TO ACCESSORY BC NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, NO BELLS, ALERTS NOTHING - AND MY STEREO STILL PLAYED AND MY HEADLIGHTS WERE STILL ON. INCIDENT 2 HAPPENED AT 8:00PM WHILE BACK OUT OF A PARKING SPACE. THE ENGINE AGAIN TURNED OFF AND HEADLIGHTS STILL WORKED, BUT NOT BREAKS OR STEERING. PUSHED KEY FORWARD AND VEHICLE CRANKED UP AGAIN. I CALLED PALMER DODGE AND THEY SAID IT SOUNDS LIKE A FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH, WHICH HAS BEEN RECALLED ON MY MODEL OF JEEP, BUT THEY WERE NOT DOING REPAIRS FOR THE RECALL BC CHRYSLER HASN'T ISSUED THE PARTS. THEREFORE, IF I GET...

THE IGNITION SWITCH POSITION MAKES UNINTENDED POSITION CHANGES WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND HAS RESULTED IN TWO NEAR-MISS ACCIDENTS. ADDITIONALLY, ON OCCASION, THE SWITCH WON'T ALLOW THE CAR TO START, AND ALL POWER IS DEAD DESPITE A NEW BATTERY. WE HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE FOR A LONG TIME. RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE IN SEPT 2014, BUT CHRYSLER CONTENDS THAT PART IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE, AND THAT THE CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE! I HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER GROUP RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER AT 1-800-853-1403 MULTIPLE TIMES AND HAVE WAITED FOR AN HOUR ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS WITHOUT A PICK UP. THIS IS ALSO NOT ACCEPTABLE. PLEASE HELP! *TR

THERE SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE BEFORE, BUT JEEP SAID IT WAS NOT FOR MY VIN. WELL IT NEEDS TO BE . PLEASE HELP ME GET THIS FIXED BEFORE SOMEBODY DIES, LIKE I JUST ABOUT DID TODAY. *TR

ON THE WAY HOME FROM WORK ONE NIGHT MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WE TOOK IT TO OUR MECHANIC THE NEXT DAY AND HAD IT CHECKED. WE WERE TOLD IT WAS THE KNOCK SENSOR CAUSING THE WARNING. HE HAD TO ORDER THE PARTS TO REPLACE THE SENSORS. AFTER THEY WERE REPLACED IT WAS JUST FINE FOR ABOUT THREE WEEKS. THE CHECK ENGINE CAME BACK ON AGAIN. TOOK BACK TO OUR MECHANIC HE SAID THEY WERE BAD AND REPLACED THEM AGAIN. THE FIRST TWO WERE SETS FROM AUTO PARTS SUPPLIERS BUT WHEN THE SECOND PART FAILED HE ORDERED A SET FROM THE JEEP DEALER. WELL THEY FAILED. HE HAS BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE JEEP DEALER TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG. ACCORDING TO THEM THEY HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE KNOCK SENSOR. I FIND THAT HARD TO BELIEVE.

I HAVE A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER WITH A CHRONIC STALLING PROBLEM. WITHIN JUST A COUPLE MONTHS OF BUYING THIS USED VEHICLE, IT STALLED FOR THE FIRST TIME ON THE NEW YORK THRUWAY GOING 70 MPH. SINCE THEN, THE VEHICLE CHRONICALLY AND RANDOMLY WILL STALL. I HAVE HAD IT STALL AS MUCH AS 7 TIMES IN THE SPACE OF GOING 12 MILES! IT WILL STALL ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH; OR STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN; VIRTUALLY ANYWHERE ANYTIME! THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. RECENTLY, I HAD IT STALL ON THE HIGHWAY; I GOT IT RESTARTED AND DROVE TO MY EXIT. AT THE END OF THE EXIT RAMP WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I PROCEEDED TO ATTEMPT TO CROSS A BUSY INTERSECTION AND IT DIED AGAIN!!! I CAN'T TRUST THIS VEHICLE AND AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT MUCH.

THE VEHICLE JERKS AND PUTTS, THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON EVENTUALLY FLASHES AND THE CAR SHUTS OFF. CHRYSLER JEEP HAS NOT, TO THIS DAY, BEEN ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM EVEN WITH CHRYSLER ENGINEERS.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER LIMITED EDITION 4X4 AT VARIOUS SPEEDS CAR STALLS WITHOUT WARNING. ALL POWER FEATURES INCLUDING STEERING WHEEL LOCK AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. FORCED TO MANEUVER TO SHOULDER IF POSSIBLE (DANGEROUS) PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND THEN RE-START. SAME PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY 50 TIMES SINCE 2010. HAVE SOUGHT INFORMATION FROM DEALER AND INDEPENDENT MECHANICS AND ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR AT MY OWN EXPENSE TO NO AVAIL.

TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP. CAR STARTS NO PROBLEM. SOME SMOKE FROM UNDER VEHICLE

EARLY 2010 I EXPERIENCED ISSUES WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT, "SERVICE PARK ASSIST' AND ALL MY GEARS LIGHTING UP AT ONCE, AND NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE IN THE MIDDLE OF 65MPH TRAFFIC!. AFTER RESEARCHING THE 'SYMPTOMS' AND TALKING TO SEVERAL MECHANICS IT WAS DISCOVERED THE ESM 'WAS BAD' AND WAS REPLACED. IT BEGAN AT APPROX 55,000 MILES. I WENT THRU QUITE A PROCESS WITH CHRYSLER OVER THIS ISSUE. LONG STORY SHORT, NOW...AMAZINGLY AFTER ANOTHER 60,000 MILES (COINCIDENCE???) I NEED TO HAVE IT REPLACED AGAIN AS ALL THE SAME THINGS ARE HAPPENING? JEEPS USUALLY LAST A LONG TIME, AND THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE WITH MAINTAINING MY VEHICLE OR HOW I DRIVE...SO I WILL HAVE TO POTENTIALLY REPLACE IT AGAIN AND AGAIN? OF COURSE CHRYSLER TELLS ME ITS NOT A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLES YET JUST ON THIS SITE AND LOOKING FOR THE EXACT COMPLAINTS I FIND NO LESS THAN...
