2007 Jeep Commander 4x4: multiple warning lights

Filed Oct 31, 2016 · Electrical · 6 miles · MI

The vehicle will lose all power while driving and stall. None of the electrical systems will work and sometimes the car will not start back up. The recall for the ignition switch was replaced but this problem still happens. It has been returned to the dealership several times for this issue with no actual fix for the problem. When the system fails, all the dash lights and faults lights flash on and off before shutting down. This has happened while driving as well as not starting after turning off the vehicle. It has been an ongoing issue now for a few years now with no fix for the problem since.

Driving home from meeting approx 10pm. All seemed to be running smoothly. Sudden 'clunk' noise from engine compartment. Engine stalled. Coasted to side of road. All dash lights came on as they do at engine startup...indicating engine not running. Once stopped placed vehicle in neutral. Turned off key and turned back on. Engine started immediately and I completed my trip without further incident. The key did not fall out nor do I have anything attached to it. This is the 5.7liter engine. A review of this issue on the internet once home has returned 100s of complaints from people who have had the same problem with no dealer resolution in any of the cases I read. I do not know if this is related to the outstanding key issue. I purchased this car yesterday so I cannot speak to whether it has happened before. This could be a very serious situation were it to happen in commute time traffic. I see the stalling issue on your list with all the engines used in the commander but I see no resolution. This was from 2007. What has happened with this?

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.

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.

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.

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.
