I have a 2007 jeep commander overland with a 5.7l v8 hemi motor with 35,000 miles on it. I am experiencing stalling with my vehicle. My vehicle has stalled three times now - once at a stop light, once while idling in a parking lot, and once while driving (around 10 -15 MPH). I spoke with chrysler and they blew me off. I feel unsafe driving this vehicle and am fearful this will happen again at a high speed or somewhere where this stalling will result in an accident. While searching the internet and various forums, I found several complaints regarding this stalling issue. What can be done about this if chrysler denies the problem and insists they "can't find anything wrong" with the vehicle? It can't be a 'fluke' if thousands of jeep commander drivers are complaining about this same issue!

2007 jeep commander stalls without warning at idle and road speeds.
2007 jeep commander with v6 engine. Car has stalled in traffic numerous times, and has been to the dealer for repair under warranty. It is now at the dealer for the 4th or 5th time for stalling. Each time, they claim something different was the root cause. I am convinced they do not know what the problem is, therefore they cannot possibly fix it.
Erie, pa 11/3/08 search under rumsey, joann the newspapers describe it all and pictures speak a thousand words. This 2007 jeep commander crashed by stalling at a high speed claiming the lives of a young woman 40 years old and her 2 children who were 4 yrs old and 18 months old. Please search and review this incident before selecting to put your family in a brand new jeep vehicle. A 5 star crash rating will not do much good if the vehicle stalls at a high speed and the driver is unable to control such vehicle. Please, if you have a family review this before purchasing a jeep product.
I own a 2007 jeep commander. Shortly after purchasing it, I was driving down the highway that runs through my town at about 40 MPH and the vehicle stalled out. I tried to give it some gas to go but I kept decelerating. I shifted my gear shift to park, shut it off and restarted my car and it went back to running normally for a couple of days. It happened 4 more times before I took it back to the dealership. They told me that it was a computer error and they corrected it. Two weeks later, I left my driveway and was heading down my street and my car started bucking uncontrollably. I came to a complete stop and put my car in park and waited a few seconds before shifting back to drive. I came to a stop sign a few blocks later and my jeep stalled out again. This has happened about 4 or 5 times since I took it to the dealership. I'm afraid that this vehicle is not safe for me or my family and I am starting to regret this purchase.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 jeep commander 4x4. The vehicle was purchased in december 2007. While driving, the vehicle would not accelerate beyond 30 MPH. After shutting the vehicle off it reset itself and began to drive normally. On one occasion, while traveling at speeds of less than 65 MPH the vehicle stalled and the contact was only able to stop the vehicle by using the emergency brake. It was also difficult to use the steering wheel; however, it reset itself after restarting the vehicle. The VIN was provided but not recognized when it was entered. The failure and current mileages were less than 37,000.
I was driving my 2007 jeep commander with about 25k miles driven. I noticed that sometimes the vehicle will not accelerate on demand. The tachometer drops to 10k RPM. This is a very dangerous situation. I took it to the dealer and they can find nothing wrong. The vehicle continues to fail at increasing rates unexpectedly. Help!
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 jeep commander 4x4. While driving 70 MPH, the vehicle suddenly spun around out of control. The vehicle then shut off on the side of the road and restarted itself after 15 minutes. There were no warning indicators prior to the failure. The dealer test drove the vehicle and found no failures. The VIN and failure mileage were unknown.
New vehicle stalls while driving at certain speeds. Always between 35 and 55 MPH on acceleration. Has been to dealership twice so far and told nothing is showing for diagnostic codes.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 jeep commander 4x4. While driving 35 MPH in dry conditions, the engine failed and the vehicle came to a complete stop. The contact had to wait a few seconds before the vehicle would restart. Prior to the failure, the RPM gauges stopped working. The contact scheduled an appointment with the dealer to have the vehicle repaired. The VIN was unknown. The current and failure mileages were 30,000.
I own a 2007 jeep commander which I purchased used in may of 2007. My jeep stalled on me as I was sitting in traffic with no warning. I brought it to the dealership for service and they could not duplicate the problem and told me that they could not do anything until it gets worse. They also told me that they scanned the vehicle and no error codes came up. After researching this on the internet, I found out that this seems to be a recurring problem with 2006 and 2007 commanders. Going forward I am going to be nervous driving my vehicle for fear that this is going to happen again and it may cause an accident. I do not want to spend hundreds of dollars trying to find out the problem only to have them keep telling me that they don't know what it is. Please help.
Vehicle stalls during deceleration as well as around turns. Vehicle then loses power steering and must be restarted to continue driving.
Stalling jeep commander 2007, stop lights, waiting to turn onto street, parking lot causes vehicle to jerk erratically. Owned vehicle for one month and have noticed stalling consistently. Researching recalls or common mechanical problems through the internet, will schedule for service at jeep dealership.
The total occurrences include seven incidents of engine stalling to date, the most recent incident on or around december 26th, 2007. Five incidents occurred while my leased 2007 jeep commander was idling in park. Two of the engine stalls occurred while actually driving my vehicle, the december 17th, 2007 incident while driving upwards of 50mph. I was forced to put my emergency brakes on, change to neutral, and restart the engine while my car was moving at a high speed on just its momentum. There was a risk of a near accident with both the car to my side and behind me. I attempted to correct this instability by taking the car to the service department of the dealership I leased it from. I was given two unreasonable options by the service department after having left my vehicle there until the close of business that day: either leave my vehicle at the service department, without being given a loaner, until another incident occurs while the car was hooked up to a diagnostic machine and only until then would they even recognize that there was problem (not an option because that could potentially take weeks and I can't do without a car for that time) or take my car back and risk having it happen again with more serious consequences. So, in short, since I was sent off without recognition by the service department that a problem existed I was left without any possible corrective measures I could think of.
We have an 07 jeep commander that has stalled while driving on two different occasions. On the first occasion the commander had been driven for 20 - 30 minutes when making a right turn the it just stalled. The second time the car had been driven for over 45 minutes when pulling into a parking lot the called stalled. After both incidents the comander would not start back up immediately. In both cases we narrowly missed getting into an accident from the cars behind us. My wife is the primary driver - we have a 4 month old and this is not a safe vehicle for them to be in. We took the vehicle to two different dealerships both said the could not replicate the incident so there is nothing they could do. The vehicle has been to 2 different chrysler dealerships both said that no codes were thrown so they don't know what to do. The second time it happened the dealership kept the car for several days putting 100 miles on it and nothing came of it. Someone needs to figure this out before someone is killed.
I have a 2006 jeep commander which I purchased new. I've had the vehicle for a year and have 33,000. The truck has stalled at least 5 times. There's no warning and it just shuts off! I contacted the dealership and they stated they have nothing in their data base. I don't understand how that's possible considering all of these e-mails. I thought it was just me and being a girl I didn't know what I was talking about. Bottom line, I have a car they can't fix and I don't want to drive!!
Engine stalled while driving at approximately 45 MPH. Turned the key to off and restarted. 2007 jeep commander limited with 5.7 hemi mds.
While driving at approximate speeds of 30-40 MPH, our 2007 jeep commander suddenly lost power, shutting down the engine and power steering. We were able to pull to the side, turn the car off and restart. The problem happened again approx. 25 minutes later. I am 4 1/2 months pregnant with twins and no longer feel safe driving this car. We know of at least three other jeep owners who reported the same problem.

I bought a new jeep commander '07 a month ago and it stalls at random while driving. Either on the highway or wherever, it hesitates and stalls.
Engine stalled twice while the vehicle was in motion causing the loss of power steering and power brakes. This LED to a loss of control that required the vehicle to pull off the road.
I drove a 22007 jeep commander limited 5.7lt hemi. On may 8, 2007 I was at a traffic light for approximately a minute or two when the signal turned green and I attempted to accelerate and discovered that the stalled. I hit the gas a couple of times with no success. I then put the car in park and restarted. The vehicle,and it started fine, but the stalling frightened and concerned me.
