I had this vehicle since 2008, and this is the three times that it would not start once driven. Drive the vehicle to the store, park it for at less 15 mins, when I started the car it do not start. The check engine light come on . The other two time that the car would not start the dealership repair shop could tell me what was wrong and the car start up for them. That was in 2010 and 2011,now it happen again! Was told that this problem need to be reported. After reading the complaints from the other owners of the 2007 jeep commander 4x4 this seem as if this is a major problem. We are bless that there has been no deaths.

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?
I was driving on the highway with my son going around 65 miles per hour. When all of a sudden my truck jeep comm, started slowing down, and all the other cars were passing by me speeding and blowing at my. I pulled over and restarted the car and now the engine light came on and the truck wont go pass 40 miles an hour. I have a warranty but the dealer is always trying to get out of paying it.
Jeep just simply stalls. In several occasions coming to a light or stop sign. The jeep would just die. I would have to restart. The RPM gauge would abruptly start moving erratically up and down a few thousands of RPM gauge would move and the engine would act like a rough running engine would and just stop. This has happened several times over the course of the past 5 years. I have complained several times when I take it in for oil changes. They never can do anything about it.
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.
Car shuts off sitting at idle (stop light) I've owned this car for less than a month and it has stalled in traffic 4 times!
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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 jeep commander 4x4. While driving approximately 60 MPH, the engine stalled with the illumination of the entire instrument panel. The contact was able to restart the engine and resume in operation. The failure recurred twenty times. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnosis but the failure was unable to be duplicated. The mechanic advised the contact that the failure could possibly have been related to the primary control module. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was notified and they informed there was not a recall. The approximate failure mileage was 90,000. The VIN was unavailable.
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.
My engine light has been coming over the last couple years. In september 1, 2009 took car to dealership because engine light, acceleration slow or stalling,car shaking and transmission clunks into gear. I had 48,286 miles at that time. They did a diagnostic test and codes p0430 & p0420 (catalytic converter efficiency failure. Dealership reprogrammed PCM and stated this cleared the codes. Took car back to dealership 09/18/2009 engine light came back on again. Dealership installed a sopcat converter and 2 oxygen sensor. My engine light comes on again 02/2012 with shaking, riding rough, while driving stalling , accelerating up or down. Dealership replaced PCM, same day getting car back engine light came back on again took back to dealership the following day. Now they state its the catalytic converter. Now my warranty is out. I already paid out for PCM now have to pay for catalytic converter. This should have been replaced back in 09/2009. Both the PCM & catalytic converter was an issue back in 2009 and should have been replaced then. Now I have to pay out all this money. I think its a recall.
Engine stall,, multiple times,, engine just simply shut off..... Usually stall on highway (60~75 MPH),, one time in city (20~35 MPH)..... Went to certified chrysler jeep dealership (service center),, no error code reading,, no check engine light,, no special warning go off,, no problem found..... No solution.....
While traveling at 40mph my 2007 jeep commander lost power accelerator would no respond the service park assist message came on as did the check engine light and all the gear indicators in the dash lit up. I stopped on the side of the road and after I turned the vehicle off and restarted it was fine for a few more miles and it did it again and again. Took the vehicle to my jeep dealer and they checked it out and found it was the transmission control module and I just had to pay $1,329.59 to have it repaired. This is a safety issue and I was lucky I was driving on side streets as in traffic or on the highway it could have caused a serious accident. The same issue happened on the 2006 commander and jeep recalled them and there are the same number of complaints about the 2007 why is it that nothing is being done to have them correct this.
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.
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.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 jeep commander. The contact stated while waiting at a traffic light the vehicle stalled. The contact mentioned that the failure occurred several times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the spark plugs were defective and needed to be replaced. The remedy failed to correct the failure. The second time the failure occurred the vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the throttle position sensor was defective and needed to be replaced which also did not correct the failure. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer a third time, but they were not able to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 58,000 and the current mileage was 61, 000.
2007 jeep commander (4.7 flex fuel), approx 35,000 miles. Has stalled 6-7 times in one year of ownership. Usually occurs when vehicle is at low idle, such as parking lot maneuvers, coming to a stop, etc. Consequences are vehicle dies, loss of all power, potentially dangerous, should the vehicle be in an intersection, etc etc. No repair efforts at this time have been started, no clear cut solution offered.
My 2007 jeep commander has stalled and lost various vehicle functions. This has happened a few times with no prior warnings from the instrument panel. I have the extended warranty and had it towed to the dealership for repair. My commander has only 33k miles on it. The dealer said the problem was some sort of "electronics board", they replaced it. However, the jeep has stalled again and now the "check engine" light is on again! This seems to be an ongoing issue with the commanders. I ask the federal safety agency to please seriously consider a recall to correct these issues. The commanders are now creeping up in age and are now out of factory warranty. Please help to correct these issues before there are more injuries or death. Lets keep in mind that the majority of people who purchased commanders are using them as a "family vehicle"! Thank you in advance for your help in this matter.
Our 2007 jeep commander 4x4 4.3l has a recurring stalling problem. They vehicle will randomly not start, already replaced a starter, with only 54,000 on the jeep. While driving in all traffic conditions,the vehicle will hesitated and occasionally just turn off.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 jeep commander. While driving 55 MPH, the vehicle stalled and lost all power. The vehicle would not move when the accelerator pedal was depressed. The contact restarted the vehicle immediately after it stalled. The dealer replaced the shift module but the failure continued. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer who could not find the cause of the failure. The contact called the manufacturer who took his complaint and stated that a representative would contact him within 24 hours. The failure mileage was 48,075.
I have a 2007 jeep commander. Not the limited edition. In the 4 months that I have owned it, it has stalled while driving 3 times resulting in a new esm, suddenly lunged forward, on its own, while stopped in traffic, and now stranded our family twice with not starting. The first two problems are a safety issue and should be looked into and recalled immediately. Stalling while driving is beyond dangerous! With the suddenly accelerating on its own while I was stopped in traffic, had I not had my foot firmly on the brake, someone could have been hurt. My autistic son was in the car with me on that occasion and on the stalling occasions, all 4 of my kids were in the vehicle. I have lost all confidence in mopar products and jeep needs to recall these hunks of junk before someone, or an entire family, gets hurt or killed. Please make jeep fix these problems immediately to avoid disaster like toyota has faced.
Jeep commander engine stalls while driving. Engine shuts down, steering and brakes loose power, battery stays on.
The car suddenly shuts down completely when driving on the highway.
2007 jeep commander, 51,000 miles, stalls while driving without any warning. I was able to guide vehicle to side of the road and re-start the engine. This stalling problem has occurred on two occasions now, once with my kids on board, a scary situation to say the least. The engine light came on a week after the last incident and dealer believes the problem is a faulty electronic shift module, which they said is a known problem. When pressed about stalling of 2007 commanders, dealer said they were not aware of any problems or recall, yet replacement of the electronic shift module is a known problem? Based upon the submissions to the federal safety agency regarding this problem, the federal safety agency needs to take action now. The history of reports regarding 2007 commanders needs to be addressed, I urge the federal safety agency and chrysler do the right thing before it is too late.
I own a 2007 jeep commander SUV. I have been having numerous problems with it stalling while I am in motion. It also stalls sometimes while I am at a light or stop sign. Another strange occurrence is that sometimes I start it and its moving and I am stepping on the gas and it just has no power. It gets to about 20 MPH and I can step all the way down on the gas pedal and nothing, it has no power. I pull over shut the engine off and start it again and it is fine until the next time. I have been having this problem since september and have contacted the dealer where I purchased the vehicle as well as other mechanics and I am told something about a sensor sensing that there is a malfunction. They cannot however fix the problem and act like this is very strange and they have never heard of this complaint. I am afraid that one of these days this will cause an accident and either I or my children or someone else will be seriously injured or even worse, killed.
Driving a 2007 jeep commander limited 4x4, with 5.7 litre hemi engine at 30 miles per hour along side road, engine cut out unexpectedly no warning. This has happened on 6 different occasions within the past 6 months with no consistency relative to speed, road conditions, etc. On the previous 5 occasions the vehicle cut out for a few seconds, then restarted itself. On the last occasion, the engine cut out completely and needed to be guided off the road. Whenever this occurs the driver loses all control of the vehicle creating an uncontrollable and dangerous situation for the driver and other motorists. The vehicle has been brought to paul bailey jeep chrylsler dodge on 2 occasions for an assessment and review of the code system. Neither visit gave any indication as to what was causing the problem. A report has been lodged with chrysler and we are awaiting information from their case manager. We believe this to be a fatal accident waiting to happen and need some direction as to the recourse or action we might take.
2007 jeep commander stalling while idling at a stop or parked and in idle. The vehicle idles rough and begins to stall. Sometimes it recovers but when it does it accelerates and lunges forward. If my foot was not firmly on the brake, I would slam into the car or any object in front of me. I have 34,000 miles on it now. It has been occurring for over a year now (12-15k miles). I purchased the jeep from a jeep dealer after it had been owned for a year and had 13,000 miles on it. I do not know if this was a problem for the previous owner but it is a continuing problem for me. It has been to the dealer 5 times for the problem and yet to be diagnosed or resolved. It is a dangerous driving situation and I have three young children in my car on a daily basis. I have no financial means to get a new car so forced to drive this unsafe one!!! Please make chrysler recall and fix the 2007 commander for this unsafe stalling/accelerating problem!! I am putting march 13, 2010 as the incident date but it has happened so many times in the past year I could not even begin to remember them all.
2007 jeep commander has stalling issues when it is raining or air is wet. This occurs at idle and slow speeds. This model (2006 and 2007) has many complaints, but nothing is being done to correct it or to hold chrysler responsible. The stall can be dangerous and vehicle lunges forward when it automatically tried to recover before stalling.
When my 2007 jeep commander is in drive the vehicle will stall and sputter or completely shut down. Vehicle speed varies between 5 and 60 miles per hour when the problem occurs. The problem started in october 2009 vehicle speed at that time was 5mph. Since then the speed when the failure occurs has increased and the last time (january 2010) I was driving at 55 MPH the vehicle engine suddenly shut off, no power was visible on any control I.e. Dashboard lights, radio, etc and I lost steering power. Luckily I was able coast off into the emergency lane stop the vehicle move it to park and restart. The problem occurs randomly and with no apparent warning. When it cuts off I lose power steering and have had several near accidents with cars traveling behind me. When the vehicle stalls and sputters but does not lose all power it may then surge forward when the power reconnects. I have taken the vehicle in for service at my local chrysler dealership but they can not find any problem.
My 2007 jeep commander has stalled numerous times in 55 MPH traffic that I travel in daily to work. The date below is most recent. It is as if all of a sudden it is not getting fuel ad will not respond to the throttle. I have had it into the local dealership several times and of course they cannot repeat the incident. I have seen many other postings from commander owners on internet bulletin boards with the same issues. This is a very dangerous situation for a vehicle to repeatedly stall like that in traffic. Please do something before someone is seriously injured.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 jeep commander. While driving 60 MPH the vehicle shut off. When the contact attempted to engage the brake pedal or control the steering wheel everything shut off without warning. The contact was able to coast onto the emergency lane, restart the vehicle and drive home safely. The vehicle is being repaired by the dealer. The failure mileage was 71,000.
