I have a 2007 jeep commander and while driving along the highway with my toddlers, I noticed that it had difficulty shifting from first gear to second gear. After a few seconds, it spontaneously shifted which caused the car to jerk. While this was happening, the check engine light came on. I've also noticed the "service park assist" light coming often. This car has made me feel unsafe and I don't exactly know what is wrong with it. I have noticed, however, that a few people have reported this same problem and some with worse problems of their car stalling. I don't want this problem to persist especially because I haul my children around in it.

I have a 2007 jeep commander 4.7 liter 6 cylinder engine that has stalled numerous times. Each time I have been driving at different speeds, a couple times on the highway, a couple times on residential streets. I loose acceleration, power steering, power brakes, and turn signals. This is a dangerous situation, and, according to my research is happening to many jeep owners. I have taken it to two different jeep dealers numerous times and they cannot find a problem. I have contacted chrysler and there is no recall as of now. Something needs to be done about this situation before someone really gets hurts or killed.
My 2007 jeep commander is having a problem with stalling. The car has stalled on me once (1 september 2010) since I just purchased it used on 10 august 2010. I do not know what caused it to stall, but on residential street all dash lights came on and engine stalled and shut down while I am driving. I have checked numerous sites where the stalling problem has been discussed and I even saw an article where the federal safety agency has stated they are widening their investigation of jeep commander stalling problems. Need to know if an official recall has been issued for this particular jeep commander year.
2007 jeep commander limited. 5.7l hemi. Vehicle has stalled about half a dozen times in last two years. This usually happens at highway speeds (+/- 65 MPH) and with no warning. Engine quits and instrument panel light come on. I've (luckily) been able to pull safely off the road. When I shut off the ignition switch and wait a few seconds, I am able to start it back up and continue. I've brought this up to two separate jeep dealers, and they claim there is nothing wrong with it.
My 2007 jeep commander is having a problem with stalling. The car has stalled on me twice since I purchased it in december of 2009. I do not know what is causing it to stall, I even took it to a jeep dealership and was told there is nothing wrong with the vehicle. The vehicle shuts down while I am driving and I am unable to use the brake or the gas pedal. Luckily I was on a residential street both times with no traffic and was able to avoid any other vehicles, although I did come close to striking a stopped vehicle. I am concerned with my children's and my safety while driving this vehicle.
2007 jeep commander. All of the sudden my jeep would not start. Battery was fully charged and no issues with the alternator. Had to have the jeep towed to the dealer and was told that the wireless remote component was not working. This should not be an issue with a three years old car.
I own at 2007 jeep commander with 33,000 miles on it. I was driving 55 on a major highway when my jeep commander just turned off. I had no acceleration or power brakes. I was lucky to get to the side of the road without hitting anyone. I brought the car into the dealership and they told me they couldn't reproduce the issue and there was no code so they couldn't identify what was wrong with the car. I am suppose to call them if it happens again..
We have been having problem with this vehicle for several month with no results from chrsyler corporation or the dealership. When it rains water is coming inside of the vehicle. The seat belt is always wet, water is coming in through the panel, water is on the floor and in the cup holders. We have taken the vehicle in on several occasions and it has been label as a lemon. However, we have not had any result from chrysler. The radio would not turn off, the windows would not come down, and the door would not unlock. This was the last straw. Water is constantly leaking inside of the vehicle from the roof. The vehicle has a mildew smell inside. However, this dilemma about to come to a close. But has taken a turn for the worse. I gregory hailey was informed that on monday, november 24, 2008 that I would not be able to take procession of a vehicle, because of some technicality because the dealership, chrysler financial and the third party individual that is handling this matter. I am deeply upset with chrysler as a whole in the way they have handle this problem. This is a 2 year problem because it dates back to 2006 on this particular vehicle. If there is a need please feel free to contact me for further discussion.
I bought my new 2007 commander in spring of 2008. Less than 6 months later I've been having issues with my electrical system. Random lights come on and go off at different times. Most recently I was in chicago on a major freeway and my car stalled when I slowed down for traffic. After two tries it restarted but my dashboard, lights, navigation system were not working. I drove to a parking lot and turned my car off. After letting it sit for about 20 minutes, I restarted it and only the engine light came on this time. My dealership installed a new ignition switch a couple of months ago when the lights were coming on but this did nothing to help. They can't get my car to duplicate what it has done for me so they give my car back to me without repair. This car is not safe and I'm scared to death to drive it. Having it stall in chicago (not familiar with that city- I was only visiting and needed my navigation system to get to where I was going) was very scary for me as I'm a female and 35. I consider myself lucky this time. But please- someone fix my car or take it back from me! This is not a safe vehicle .
I was driving down the road and I was unable to accelerate my 2007 jeep commander. I looked at the gas gage to find out that it said it was on e. I thought that was odd because I had just put 30.00 into the gas tank. I was passing by a gas station and turned in real quick. I then noticed my gauges that told me the outside temp was black and all other electronic things were off. Then as I was turning into the gas station the power steering locked up on me and I almost ran directly into the gas pumps. I slammed on my breaks and was able to stop in time. When the power steering locked up that?s when I realized the car had just turned off previous and it wasn't the gas. I put the car in park, turned the key all the way off and restarted the car. The car started right back up again. This is only one of a few problems I?m having in regards to the car going out of control.
I have a 2007 jeep commander that I got on 9/22/07 it was brand new. My husband went on a business trip (approximately 170 + miles away from home) on monday the 26th of december. On his way home on thursday the lights in the dash came on and it went dead. He took it to that dealership and they said they fixed it. Then last friday all the lights came on again and it would not go over 65 miles an hour which he was trying to pass someone and ended up in someone's front yard!! We took it back to the dealership and again they said they fixed it. Last night we left a restaurant and all the lights came on again so I took to dealership right then.
I was driving down the highway doing approx 112 km/hr when my vehicle a 2007 jeep commander lost all power, all systems went completely dead for approx 5 seconds, just as I started to panic everything started up again. My young daughter and I were scared driving the rest of the way home worried it would happen again. I called the dealership where we purchased it from st. Albert dodge jeep and booked it in for a check. They told me they could find nothing and that they had not heard of any similar problems with these vehicles. I told them I was not picking it up until it was resolved as I have 4 young children and do not want the vehicle dying on me again while driving. At this point I went online to see what I could find and was shocked to discover that 76 other complaints had been lodged the federal safety agency action number ea07007. I called the dealership they said they knew nothing about this and for me to bring in the information when I pick up my vehicle.
Ignition key is located in a dangerous location whereas the driver's knee can bump into the key while driving, which then stalls the vehicle and locks the steering wheel, creating an extremely hazardous situation. The only recourse is to put the car in neutral and restart the car while on the road in traffic.
I purchased a 2007 jeep commander in october of 2006. At about 2,000 miles, I experienced an electrical failure that caused many gauges to come on or go off. I did lose my headlights & the transmission downshifted. I pulled over, powered off the vehicle & restarted. The vehicle has done this same or similar problem 4 times now. I've filed the lemon law in indiana, but it was denied. The last time I experienced the electrical fault, my seat starting moving forward for a few seconds while I was driving the car. The vehicle has registered fault codes every time that I saved. Each time, the dealer can not duplicate & performs computer flash updates in hopes of correcting problem. In my opinion, the vehicle is dangerous to operate.
On several occasion while driving, the engine has completely cut out. I have concluded, luckily without accident or injury, that the cause was my inadvertently hitting the ignition key, located in this vehicle perilously close to the driver's right knee, and effectively turning the ignition switch to the off position. It took a slight touch for this to occur, especially with other keys or such dangling down from the ignition key. For a less experienced driver, such as my daughter this sudden and immediate loss of power on the open road could , d at some point,will-- cause panic and perhaps much worse. This needed addressed. I have read on internet sites/blocs about others experiencing the same thing.
This complaint is in connection with a 2007 jeep commander 4x4. The vehicle stalled twice while on a highway service road. It is my belief that the placement and design of the ignition may be to blame for this and other stalls (which are now under the federal safety agency investigation). It appears that if you hit your knee on the key while it is in the ignition you can easily turn the truck off while it is in operation. Please review the placement of the ignition and its design as it appears to offer little resistance to glances from the driver's knee. It seems to easily turn the truck off. (date of incident below is approximate.)
