The car turn off are stall while driving. Normally occurs when foot is slight on the peddle however also attempts to stall at high speeds. A review of the internet shows that this life threatening problem is a frequent experience and a long term reported problem. I am happy to provide this information upon request. Does there need to be a lose of life to obtain relief of this issue. Is this issue a result of demands by the epa to have these cars run at an ideal speed that is too low? Is the epa also the reason for this problem? Lives are at risk with no action being taken to protect consumers.
2007 Jeep Commander 4x4 acceleration complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 28 of 28, newest first, as owners wrote them.
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.
I purchased the 2007 jeep commander with the 5.7 hemi in spring 2013 and a few months later coming to a stop it just shut off. At first I thought maybe some water had gotten into the engine compartment since it was raining and shorted something. Started back up and thought all was fine. Well recently it has been happening more often, whether it is wet or dry out and at any speed or whether the cruise control is on or off. It also seems to try to shut down while feathering the gas pedal at highway speeds from accelerating to coast. On one occasion this summer at highway speed pulling our camper it shut down and I had to coast to a stop along the side of the highway to restart. Something has to be done. I have children, as I am sure many here with the same complaint do.
On two separate occurrences so far, the jeep has randomly stalled out at highway speeds in traffic. Accelerator and steering loose function. Other times it has nearly stalled but regained operation. Check engine light comes on with code for large vacuum leak? Dealer was unable to find anything wrong and is currently evaluating again. Vehicle starts back up fine after pulling to side of road and removing and reinserting key. Safety issue to stall at highway speeds and lose power steering! This does not appear to be the first occurrence as there are many other complaints and a recall/investigation which noted it in 2007 vehicles but only issued a PCM recall for 2006 vehicles.
I was beginning to accelerate out of a right turn and noticed that I was not picking up speed and the car started to shake. I tried to speed up to the flow of traffic and the accelerator was not working and the steering wheel kept shaking and had to pull over to the side of the road. I noticed that all the gears on the dash were lit up, from park to drive and everything in between. I decided to shut off the engine and start it again. The car was fine but did it again on 2 separate occasions. Thank goodness I was not on the freeway and there was not a lot of traffic.
This has happened to me several times in the two years I've owned this vehicle. Every time I take it to the shop the mechanics say they cannot replicate the issue so cannot fix it. First the check engine light will come on and no codes will appear when run. A couple days later (mostly when driving on the highway, or any speed above 30mph) I will be driving as usual and begin to increase speed on the on ramp for the interstate and the engine will tap out at 45mph. I will press the gas pedal to the floor and the engine will not rev and the RPM's will not increase. I tried to put the car in neutral and back into drive and nothing changed with the engine. All the while I had my one year old child in the car with me. Every time I try to research what is wrong with my jeep I just see the same complaint from thousands of people. This is obviously an issue and needs to be fixed immediately! I don't care if they have to give me a new jeep I need something safe for my family!
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.
I was driving home from picking up my daughter from a school event when suddenly my car slowed down on its own down to 10 MPH. Then the car completely stopped. On the control console it only read "service park assist" and the drive position controls where all highlighted and boxed out (drnp). I lost all control of the vehicle other than turning the wheel. I tried to accelerate by pressing the gas and it just revved the engine and did nothing else. I swerved off the road and hit a median that took out the tire and left damage to the left of the car under carriage. I had to shift the gear into park and back to drive in order for the car to start up again. I took the car to a local jeep chrysler dodge service depot and had it ran for a diagnostic for at which time they told me that it was a common issue found in this model and earlier models and that it wasn't covered by the power train that the vehicle would need $1100.00 in repairs to fix an electronic transformer shift modulator. I had just purchased the car on october 31 from a jeep chrysler dodge dealership and less than three weeks later the car is for crap. And the dealership refused to fix the problem and jeep has not issued a recall for this issue but they have for the 2006 model. This problem is life threatening. It can occur at anytime at any speed. If I were on a expressway my children and I would probably be dead. Jeep needs to be pursed for this issue and forced to fix the damage on any vehicles reporting this issue.
I was driving on the highway with my son going around 65 miles per hour. When all of a sudden my truck jeep comm, started slowing down, and all the other cars were passing by me speeding and blowing at my. I pulled over and restarted the car and now the engine light came on and the truck wont go pass 40 miles an hour. I have a warranty but the dealer is always trying to get out of paying it.
Purchased the 2007 jeep commander 4x4 2 weeks ago. When I started the jeep the service park assist flashed and went away, I headed down my driveway onto the highway and could not accelerate more than 20 miles per hour, the jeep would not shift gears. I pulled to the side of the road for safety because of traffic, turned the jeep off, started it again and merged back onto the highway and the jeep again could not go more than 20 MPH, put on hazards and brought to mechanic. Left the jeep running, got back into to reverse and the it would not reverse, at this time the prnd was lit up on the dash board. Still waiting to here what the problem is mechanic can not duplicate. Very serious safety problem as I use to transport my children.
I have had several problems with the 2007 jeep commander. At times it will not start. Recently it has lost power/speed when accelerating. I was merging onto the highway and it suddenly lost power and would not go above 20mph. The engine had a strange noise to it. I have had it "fixed" multiple times but nothing seems to stop the problems. It is the worst car I have ever owned.
My engine light has been coming over the last couple years. In september 1, 2009 took car to dealership because engine light, acceleration slow or stalling,car shaking and transmission clunks into gear. I had 48,286 miles at that time. They did a diagnostic test and codes p0430 & p0420 (catalytic converter efficiency failure. Dealership reprogrammed PCM and stated this cleared the codes. Took car back to dealership 09/18/2009 engine light came back on again. Dealership installed a sopcat converter and 2 oxygen sensor. My engine light comes on again 02/2012 with shaking, riding rough, while driving stalling , accelerating up or down. Dealership replaced PCM, same day getting car back engine light came back on again took back to dealership the following day. Now they state its the catalytic converter. Now my warranty is out. I already paid out for PCM now have to pay for catalytic converter. This should have been replaced back in 09/2009. Both the PCM & catalytic converter was an issue back in 2009 and should have been replaced then. Now I have to pay out all this money. I think its a recall.
The above information was for the first time this incident occurred. While driving at any speed the car will stall out of no where due to the electronic shift module. I had it replaced 11/08 which was only a year after the car was made. It is completely acting up again and the module needs replaced again. I understand that they have not recalled this issue but there are over 145 complaints of the same issue but yet on your website it says a recall is necessary when there is a safety-related defect in the vehicle or equipment. A safety defect is defined as a problem that exists in a motor vehicle or item of motor vehicle equipment that: poses a risk to motor vehicle safety. Examples of defects considered safety-related:steering components that break suddenly causing partial or complete loss of vehicle control. Accelerator controls that may break or stick. Critical vehicle components that break, fall apart, or separate from the vehicle, causing potential loss of vehicle control or injury to persons inside or outside the vehicle. Along with the above I have children and if they are inside this vehicle while something happens just wait until I slap the lawsuit along with the many others as a result of this issue that nobody is doing nothing about. I almost was rear ended on the expressway by vehicles going 75 MPH because of the car stalling/not wanting to accelerate! I want answers and I want them now!
2007 jeep commander shut off on highway.
2007 jeep commander, 92,000 miles, stalls while driving without any warning. I was able to guide vehicle to side of the road and re-start the engine. This stalling problem has occurred on about ten occasions now, once with my kids on board, a scary situation to say the least. Sometimes before the problem starts the park assist will turn itself off and then the check engine light will come on. We have tried several times to get an error code from the computer system by turning the key 3 times in a row but it never returns a code. Sometimes the check engine light will stay on for a couple of days but eventually goes out and the jeep will run fine until it happens again. The last time this occurred the ability to shift the gears from 1 to 4 was inoperable and when you pressed the gear shift right or left it remained in drive. I have called several dealerships and have been advised that they haven't heard anything of this problem and they want me to pay to have a diagnostic ran but can't confirm what the problem is.
The car suddenly shuts down completely when driving on the highway.
Turned right from a stop sign. Accelerated to about 40. Accelerator stuck and 2007 jeep commander continued to accelerate. Driver stepped on brake & it did not stop the vehicle. Driver pulled the parking brake to slow a bit. Had to throw into park while moving in order to avoid accident.
I own a 2007 jeep commander SUV. I have been having numerous problems with it stalling while I am in motion. It also stalls sometimes while I am at a light or stop sign. Another strange occurrence is that sometimes I start it and its moving and I am stepping on the gas and it just has no power. It gets to about 20 MPH and I can step all the way down on the gas pedal and nothing, it has no power. I pull over shut the engine off and start it again and it is fine until the next time. I have been having this problem since september and have contacted the dealer where I purchased the vehicle as well as other mechanics and I am told something about a sensor sensing that there is a malfunction. They cannot however fix the problem and act like this is very strange and they have never heard of this complaint. I am afraid that one of these days this will cause an accident and either I or my children or someone else will be seriously injured or even worse, killed.
