2007 Jeep Commander 4x4: check engine light

Filed Oct 7, 2018 · Electrical, Engine · 178,000 miles · IA

Jeep loses power and shuts down while driving in city and on the highway at random speeds. Also will shut down while stationary. Causes loss of power steering and brakes. Check engine light has not come on. The only way to restart is to fully place in park and completely remove the key. Violent shut down and transmission is not shifting correctly. I have had the asd relay replaced and wiring checked with no fix. Very dangerous with my 3 year old in the car.

I was driving down the freeway and the engine down shifted hard and the engine light came on. I pulled over, turned my vehicle off, turned my vehicle back on, and it drove just fine. I went to get the engine light checked and the code that came back was the map sensor. I just replaced the map sensor two months prior.

I was driving at a steady pace on the freeway and the engine light came on. I pulled over and the power steering went out as well as the brakes. I turned off my vehicle, restarted it, and was able to drive with no problems afterwards.

I was driving on the freeway and all of a sudden the engine light turned on and my rpms dropped to zero. I pulled over, the power steering went out and the ability to brake went out. I turned the vehicle off and on and then it was fine, however, the engine light was still on. There were no codes when I went to a mechanic five minutes after the incident. This is the second time this has happened.

When driving on freeway at high speeds the car shuts off and then back on again, when it happens the engine stumbles and the engine warning light comes on for a second and then back off. It makes for a dangerous condition. No codes come up though. Took it to the dealership and they put a new ignition key switch in but it still has the problem, they say there is no recalls

Vehicle had the ignition switch fixed with the prior recall, but I am still having an issue with the engine light which has turned on and the vehicle slows down and seems to go into neutral while driving. This occurs around 20 MPH, local roads and luckily not on a highway yet and if I press the accelerator nothing occurs and the traction control light flashes. My truck has not come up under the recall for this issue but I feel that it is related especially after reading all of the complaints, please help.

When shifting out of park, jeep will shift hard and lights around prnd are illuminated and error message "service park assist system" is displayed. When this happens, you have to put car back in park and turn it to the off position to reset. Sometimes this clears it,sometimes it doesn't. After about 4 times in a row, the check engine light comes on and stays on for days at a time. This issue also happens when the car is in drive and you are actually driving down the road. It has caused me to be rear ended once and almost rear ended many more times. Luckily when I was rear ended, we were in a parking lot and only traveling at a slow speed so there was no damage/injuries. This is beginning to happen on a daily basis and it is only a matter of time before someone is killed due to jeep's denial there is a problem and refusal to fix the issue. I have taken my car into the dealer multiple times but they are unable to recreate the issue and therefore say there is no problem. An auto parts store was able to pull a code one time (u0404) but couldn't determine the meaning behind the code and couldn't tell me what to do to fix the problem. I have found through a prior google search that this issue has been reported before and that a prior recall was issued for this problem. Of course, my car and apparently everyone else's weren't part of the recall and are therefore still not repaired considering the part to fix the problem costs around $1,000 before labor charges! I hope someone can force jeep to fix these vehicles before someone loses their life because of it!

The check engine light came on after the engine stalled out several times in a row. I had it tested, and they said it was an idle air control valve. The idle air control valve does not exist on this vehicle, but yet its the only code that it is giving off. I'm still having stalling issues which are dangerous when pulling out of intersections. Another issue that is ongoing that I'm having, is the sunroof leaking. I have literally 2 gallons of water that will be on my floor board when it rains. You can hear water sloshing above your head before it hits the wiring in the door panels and then collects on the floor boards.

Mid september after dropping kids off at school the jeep died twice right in a row. The jeep also started this weird hard down shifting in certain gears. A few days later the jeep died again after I got on the highway, while I was driving 70 MPH. Since then the shifting is getting worse. A check engine light comes on when it dies, the codes were read by an auto parts store. There were multiple codes, electronic position sensor, intake, and manifold. I tried to file a complaint with chrysler but they will not complete it until I pay their authorized dealerships to read the codes. After resetting computer it has not come back on. The jeep still shifts erratically, and I discover that the etc warning light does not work. Why???. I don't know we have had this car for 5 years and I have never seen the light. Something is definitely wrong. Please help. Also neither my husband or myself are tall enough for our knee to even think about bumping the ignition switch.

While accelerating speed as I entered the toll road for my morning commute, the engine stalled. Pulled over, put in park, turned off ignition, restarted. Vehicle operated but check engine light remained on. Less than one mile later, lost speed again, had to pull over to the shoulder of the road, place in park, turn off ignition, and restart. Check engine light remained on. Check engine light turned off in the afternoon.
