Was getting into truck turn on ignition and put truck in gear, then proceeded to takeoff then all of a sudden the ignition just cut off, I don't know if my knee slightly hit it or what but that sucker cut off, this has happened more than once, also the tire light stays before the dealer said it was a faulty stem, then I had it replaced and it still stays on, so please is there some resolution for these things!

Cruise control still does not operate. Single touch power window function no longer works on driver and passenger windows. While commuting to work on the toll road, rpms registered between 2500-3500 going at a speed of 75. The majority of the time, it was between 3000-3500. I did not have the air conditional running. I was not accelerating and was not going up or down inclines to cause the higher rpms. After exiting the toll road, I turned and while accelerating to around 40mph, the engine stalled and the check engine light came on. As I was on an inside lane, I had to slow down to allow a semi to pass on the outside lane in order to be able to pull over to the side of the road. I had to place in park, turn off the ignition switch, and turn it back on. Check engine light remained on. My average mpg was 13.9, lower than it should be. Leaving for my commute home, when I turned on the jeep, the check engine light was no longer lit. I noticed during the commute that the rpms were not as high as in the morning, and also my mpg increased by almost a mile per gallon, and that was running at the same speed and I also was running the air conditioning. Upon exiting the toll road, the vehicle jerked heavily while downshifting from overdrive. A jerky motion continued for the remainder of my commute (ranging from 30-55 MPH). Please note that I do now take photos after the engine stalls to reflect the mileage and that the light is lit. I also now take pictures when the check engine light goes off.
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.
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.
Driving to work on toll road, 65-70mph. Engine light came on, engine stalled, lost power steering. Had to pull over to the side of the road. Put in park, turned off ignition, restarted. Resumed driving to work. Contacted dealership and they did not have time to check my vehicle that day. Check engine light remained on until mid-afternoon that day.
Sunroof leaks and windows leak cause water to flood into the passenger side of the truck and rear of the truck. Also cause a shortage in the electrical system and shuts off the radio. Driver side window module has a shortage when lowering and raising windows the lights flash and radio goes in and out.
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.
Vehicle would not start. Radio and head lights will go on. All you would hear is a click. Checked battery and still will not start. Took it to a mechanic and they did a diagnostic and nothing showed up. The mechanic had it for a two days and it started. They could not find anything wrong with vehicle. The incident happened twice. Looked on line and noticed other people had same problem with vehicle not starting. Also, having water come in through the side door handles. I'm not the only person with these problems. No wonder they discontinued this vehicle.
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.
Door lock actuator failed on driver's side front door. Door now makes a duck call/ buzz everytime it locks. Upon research this is a common problem with commanders and a recall should be required to fix this issue.
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.
2nd car own 2007 jeep commander has gone out of control while driving, turning off while driving or at a stop. Recalls on file with same history but does not include either second VIN number. Dealer services state nothing wrong with my car and have no explanation of incidents that occurs. And demands to pick up my cars.
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.
My jeep stalls and will not start back dash says trans over heat but its not. Checked all the fuses and relays nothing seems after some research this is a common problem with these jeeps the dealers can't fix it please help us!
Had the prescribed n23 recall done because a safety hazard was possible ,yet the safety hazards seemed to come thereafter,the vehicle has been back multiple times without any resolution.seems that the dealer is very evasive and it always leads to something else been the problem and now the said part is on a national backorder,would this not indicate a national issue with regards to these vehicles.the 4x4 system is now malfunctioning.
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.
After taking the jeep commander in to a dealer ship to get recall the federal safety agency 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.
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.
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 if someone has the answer please let me know so I can get this fixed once and for all. I have never had a problem like this with any vehicle I've ever had before.
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 it. I called a dealership and gave my VIN and was told no recalls on this vehicle. Yet I am continuously reading about the same exact issue with other people's 2007 jeep commanders.
Vehicle will idle rough and stall after 15-45 seconds after starting. Will not stay running in p,n, or d.
The vehicle has stalled on me at least 30 times. It occurs while idling at a stop and also at slower speeds. After rainy days sometimes the vehicle won't start. The problem is intermittent so the dealer can't fix it. It sets off no engine codes. I have had many issues with the vehicle however this one is very unsafe.
It is currently stalling, while sitting at street lights. Also, the gear shift model including starter and wiring.
The vehicle just shuts off so far its been 5mph or less and starts back.
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 have this problem fixed and they say (we can not get the vehicle to act up with the technician driving the vehicle to exactly pin point the problem.) this is very frustrating because this vehicle is very unsafe to drive with this issue. I have looked up numerous complaints and issues of people with the same vehicle having identical problems and have yet to be resolved. We have replaced spark plugs, coils, map sensor, mds wiring harness, ignition switch with oem parts and the issue still continues. I recommend faulty engine wiring, ECM, to the service advisors just to be ignored. They tell me until the issue is recorded on the vehicle scanner that nothing can be done to pin point the problem.
Vehicle shuts off while driving. Various conditions. Idling, cruising at highway speeds, accelerating, decelerating, etc. Must shut key off to reset engine before the vehicle will start again. This has happened at least 20 times with no check engine light illuminating. It has become a huge safety issue since all power is lost at any speed.
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.
