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.
2007 Jeep Commander 4x4 electrical complaints
Page 5 of 6: complaints 101 to 130 of 146, newest first, as owners wrote them.
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?
Vehicle is loosing power, park assist light comes on dash along with every other light!! Along dash it says something about park assist service?? Not sure exact words because it pops across and pops off just as quickly.car won't start right up takes 1-2 hours before anything will happen. Yesterday was the first time this has happen. I had my two year old son with me.. Had to sit in 90 degree weather for over an hour waiting for help. I just bought this vehicle three months ago because everyone raved about how great/dependable jeeps are.. Built to last?!? Maybe I should have just stuck with ford... I physically feel sick to my stomach, had I seen that this is an ongoing problem I would have stayed as far away from this type of vehicle as possible!! I would hope that chrysler would step up and address the problem, seeing that all of these people(myself included) bought there product with the faith that it would if not meet/exceed there expectations.
I bought this jeep used about 4 months ago...about 2 weeks after buying it stalled on me...and continues to stall at different times. Its very scary when driving in heavy traffic or traveling on the highway and it just stalls with no warning.
2007 jeep commander limited. Vehicle began stalling with no warning at low speeds. Jeep dealer has been unable to properly diagnose problem. Computer jeep engineers have worked with the dealer and they also have been unable to properly diagnose problem. I have spent roughly $5000.00 replacing modules, etc that they think may be causing the problem. The only thing this has done is aggravate the problem. The last incident occurred while passing a double tanker truck on a two lane road, engine stalled at the time I was right next to the truck. Only thing I could do was since I was going downhill, my momentum took me past the truck, I cut in front of him and made it over to the shoulder and stopped. Vehicle would not start until I put it into park, pulled the key and restarted it. Vehicle has been in the dealer's shop more than out of it for the last 15 months-they're stymied and frustrated with jeep engineers. Comment made by jeep's customer service representative: " on my, that's dangerous". It's very frustrating that jeep will not admit there is a problem with this model and fix it, especially since they have recalled other models/years with the same problem. Also frustrating that they won't go online and listen to the people who are driving these problem vehicles. Their comment is- you can't put any stock in what you read online. It's for sure that I will never purchase another jeep nor would I ever recommend them to anyone-except maybe someone I didn't like.
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.
Vehicle would not start. Drove 1.5 miles to gas station. Turned car off. Fueled. Car would not start. Message on display: transmission over temperature. 30 minutes later car started. Next incident occurred today (4/2/12). Car was parked for 10.5 hours before attempting to start. Car would not start. Message on display: transmission over temperature. Car still won't start three hours later. Contacted chrysler customer service because of recall h03 (similar symptoms). They stated that my car was not part of the recall. If enough people have the same problem, then they will issue a recall.
While driving, the engine will suddenly die without warning. All power steering/brakes are lost. It will restart immediately. This is an ongoing, but random problem. The only code that is recorded refers to the ignition relay module. To date the egr, ignition relay module, and crankshaft position sensor have been replaced. The problem persists. This problem represents a severe safety issue, as a loss of power while pulling into traffic could have catastrophic consequences.
Beginning in october 2009 when the vehicle had less than 36k on it the engine stalled once. I thought maybe gas or something....then two more times in october while stopped. Gets worse by the week until it is actually stalling when driving at 60mph.....have had it in for service on several occasions and they have replaced several components and still will stall. This is 2012 and since it all began I have filed 2 cases with chrysler, on the first go round, they thought they fixed it and again a few weeks later it began to stall. My daughter, 6 years of age, in the car and I am taking her to school and the engine stalls and we almost were hit by a vehicle traveling in excess of 55 MPH, if that vehicle did not get out of the way it would have directly hit where my daughter was sitting. She began to cry and she will no longer ride in the commander. We are all afraid to drive it. It has stalled on us I know over 100 times in the past 4 years. I have begged chrysler to replace the vehicle. I loved my commander I have had several jeeps and this is so upsetting. Chrysler seems to deny they have any clue of these problems with 2007 commanders and I see several postings on this website alone of the same issue. It is dangerous to drive this vehicle. Someone is going to be seriously injured. Please make them step up to the plate and own up to this before it is too late for someone. I will never believe it is actually fixed and they make us drive it until it so bad that they can make it stall. In the mean time, we are in danger daily. Please help us and advise us how to get out of this vehicle and into a safe one for my family.
The 2007 jeep commander's engine and power shut off at highway speed (approx 65 MPH) on I-95. The power steering and power brakes were not operational. My wife had to cross four lanes of traffic to stop the vehicle on the side of the road to attempt to restart the vehicle. The key was not bumped or touched when the vehicle shut off. The vehicle did restart after coming to a stop.
This is in relation to previous complaints 10333965 and 10381374. Same problem occurred again on oct 24, 2011. While driving on freeway at about 60 MPH, the vehicle made a sudden and violent jerk but did not totally lose power like in most other situations. This problem has not occurred since february 2011 and seems to only occur in cold weather.
It was a rainy day. I pulled my car in to the garage and shut off the engine. Pulled out the key and entered my house. The garage is connected to my home. I came back to the garage some time later to find the engine was still on. I ran to the drivers seat to see no key in the ignition and verified the remote engine feature wasn't engaged, it is designed to turnoff after the car door is open for a short time. The engine wouldn't shut off. I brought it to my husband, who drove it a bit and could not get the engine off. Eventually it self corrected. A truly dangerous issue since this car is parked in my home. We brought it to the dealer about 4 times, and while the engine hasn't done that again, various parts of the car turn on spontaneously. A single head light, a single brake light, all the lights. It seems the electrical system no longer has full control of the vehicle and that is dangerous. I believe my car is just one of many 2007 jeeps that are having enormous electrical problems, my case just illustrates how dangerous this could be. A car engine running spontaneously is unacceptable and it is clear this is just a symptom of a common problem to all these jeeps.
2007 jeep commander engine stalls out while driving intermittently.
Driving at 55 MPH and suddenly lost power and stalled. The oil light came on as well as the anti lock brake light. I coasted to the side of the road and came to a stop. I started the vehicle right back up and drove straight to the dealership. They could not duplicate the problem but found a stored code that they sent to chrysler for clarification. Dealership said they would contact me when they heard from chrysler what the problem is.
While starting truck park assist message came up (check park assist) all gear boxers highlighted on dash , check engine light came on, put truck into drive ,banged harded ,loss power, shut off park assist message gone ,check engine light still on, highlights at gear boxes gone , put lost power.. Been reading about this on web sites seems to be a problem with a module read about people stalling, I have not yet but this has happen 3 times to my truck so far.. 2007 jeep commander with 37,000 miles only I dont want it to stall and get rear ended on the highway and get hurt or anyone else is there a national problem with this happening?? Seems to be a hazard to being safe....
My 2007 jeep commander has continued to have electrical problems. Battery has been replaced and dealer has replaced ignition switch, wires within the wiring harness, starter and now they admit that they had to contact chrysler mechanics to fix the problem. Three times it's been at the dealer for the repair and now subject to lemon law. There are numerous reports and more serious ones with jeep commanders losing power either after being parked then attempting to start or while driving, causing hazardous conditions.
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!
Following up on this. It appears mr. [xxx] may no longer be with dot / the federal safety agency [xxx]to: [xxx] subject: fw: the federal safety agency inquiry - 2007 jeep commander date: wed, 9 feb 2011 20:19:20 -0700 dear mr. [xxx]: this problem has continued and even become more frequent -- probably occurring about 8 times in the past 2 months and approx 6 times in the past three weeks. It seems to happen during cold weather (no incidents from about about july 2010 to december 2010). It has also happened at slower speeds than the 55-65 MPH described below occurring twice at speeds under 45 MPH in the past month. I've also had a few incidents where the vehicle hesitates but keeps running. Usually it just quits completely, though. This is all very frustrating because jeep has always told us nothing is wrong. [xxx] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- from: [xxx] to: [xxx] subject: re: the federal safety agency inquiry - 2007 jeep commander date: fri, 2 jul 2010 21:15:42 -0600 I've answered in the body of the message below. [xxx] subject: the federal safety agency inquiry - 2007 jeep commander date: fri, 2 jul 2010 12:54:57 -0400 from: [xxx] to: [xxx] dear [xxx], here at office of defects investigations at the u.s. Department of transportation, we have received your complaint on your 2007 jeep commander with stalling problem. We currently received more complaint on this stalling issue and we are collecting information on this issue. Could you take some time and please answer the following questions regarding your incident. We are sending these questions to all other complainants as well. Thank you! 1. When you said 'vehicle stalled', did engine stalled or just limped (did the brake and steering lost power?)? Engine lost all power and dashb information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I have a 2007 jeep commander rocky mtn edition, this failure has happened 30 to 40 times with me. While driving down the highway regardless of speed, I loose all control to the throttle(gas pedal) if I floor it the tack doesn't move and I will slow to a stop, I pull to the side of the road put it in "n" and then back into "d" and it seems to be ok for awhile. When it happens the service park assist light flashes and all positions of the gears light up at the same time, p, r n d. I took it to the dealer and they said the code was the electronic shift control modula. I told them that this failure was noted all over the internet and asked if there was a recall on it. They laughed and told me they had never heard of the problem, $851.00 plus labor which I could not afford at this time., this is a major problem and definitely a safety issue when pulling into traffic especially. Or changing lanes on the interstate. Because of the number of complaints found about this failure and it is such a safety issue I though you should be notified. Will be waiting to here some response, respectfully.
Ignition switch out?? Electrical system has gone haywire! Radio doesn't work. Completely died on me and could not restart for 30 minutes...arrrrrr.
Electronic shift module out again!!
Electronic shift module went out again.
Electronic shift module went out which stalled my car while driving.
While driving my 2007 jeep commander all four gears would show them being highlighted (p-n-r-d) and when this would happen it would lose power and slow down to a point where there was a concern about being rear ended if it could not be pulled over. I took it to a dealer and they had to replace the electronic shift module. In looking on the internet this is not a isolated incident but is occurring nation-wide. The service manager even said that they get about one of these a month. This is just one dealer and appears to be nation-wide from what I saw on the internet. Both the dealer and chrysler have said that they would not do anything about except repair this problem at the consumers expense. This is definitely a problem that chrysler is ignoring but someday they may be facing a law suit if their is a bad accident.
Vehicle stalls whenever it wants too. Driving down freeway at 70mph vehicle will turn off and all systems shut down causing it to be extremely difficult to control. Vehicle stalls at stop signs and signals as well. Sometimes it will go for weeks without stalling and then will suddenly stall without warning. Dealer can not figure out what is wrong and wants to play the guessing game with fixing it, have replaced many different parts,over $500 so far, but still stalls.
2007 jeep commander 85k miles problem started with service park assist light coming on. Car then would not accelerate for 10-15 seconds. Approximately two weeks later (yesterday) same problem occurred. This time I was on the on ramp to the highway where they are doing construction. There is no breakdown lane, so when you get on the highway you are in first lane. As soon as I got into the first lane, the service park assist light came on, the p r n d lights were all illuminated, the car would not accelerate again for approximately 20 seconds and the check engine light came on. This is an extremely dangerous situation as again, there is no breakdown lane to pull over. I called the dealership, they cannot take the car for a couple days. After reading the complaints from other 2007 jeep owners with the exact same problem, I printed these and brought them to the dealership. They indicated they have never heard of the problem and that I can pay for the diagnostic test and take it from there. I was also given the telephone number for chrysler. I had my son in the car, I am now afraid to drive the car and will have to find an alternate route to work as this exit will be this way for some time and had a car been closer behind me, we would have been hit.
2007 jeep commander wont start says transover temp. Also when it does start after sitting for days it will light up all gears and stall. Dealership says its the shifter for both problems and $690 to fix. Others have had this problem and got the shifter replaced and it happened again after a year.
I have a 2007 jeep commander with 32k miles. The vehicle has started stalling occasionally when we come to a stop. The truck starts right up again. The truck has the hemi 5.7. We have experienced 4 episodes so far.
My 2007 commander, recently keeps alarming me service park assist while lighting up all the drive boxes, while im driving. When it does this I cannot give the car gas so I have to pull over, shut the car off and turn it back on. Its been doing this on and off for the past couple of months. Usually the check engine light comes on, I will take it to the repair shop and when they hook it up to the tester, it doesn't tell them anything is wrong and they manually shut the check engine light off. The latest incident I was driving on the turnpike and it did this, I was terrified because my two kids were with me and I had to cut over three lanes, pull off and shut the car down and restart it. Today all the drive options were boxed in while I was driving but the engine light never even came on, it just wouldn't let me gas and I had to do the same thing pull over, shut off and restart. My tires are also showing up for low pressure, and the tire dealer told me the tires on this model are known for small holes around the outside ring of the tread, which of course cannot be filled.
The 2007 jeep commander we have at times has no acceleration. It lasts about 10 to 15 seconds. It is very dangerous. If you pull into traffic you never know if the jeep will accelerate or not. Usually does it when it hasn't been running long. I do know chrysler has a case number for this issue on there dealer connect network case number [xxx] in my opinion with what they say is wrong on that case study they should be contacting owners to bring them in for a flash of the computer system. It seems like a simple fix for them that will help avoid accidents. It has been doing it a few weeks and happens every couple days.
