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.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 jeep commander 4x4. While driving approximately 25 MPH, the vehicle hesitated when the accelerator pedal was depressed and stalled.

The contact stated that the failure occurred every time the vehicle was driven for the past four months. The manufacturer was notified of the failure.

While driving at slow speeds, the vehicle stalls out, obviously resulting in a loss of power steering & brakes. This has happened 50+/- times over the last 2 years of my ownership. The problem has intensified over the last 2 weeks, but would always re start after shifting into park. Last night (10/8/2017) it happened again. This time while merging onto a highway at 55 MPH. The vehicle suddenly lost power as I coasted to the side of the highway. This time it would not start & I had to have the vehicle towed. Through on-line research, this is a common problem on the jeep commander (4.7l) dating back to when the vehicles were new. The fix for the problem varies greatly. Given the timeline for this problem, its obvious this is a problem that daimler chrysler (now fiat chrysler USA) is aware of & makes no attempt at a solution.

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.

This complaint is in regards to a stalling issue in my 2007 5.7l jeep commander. The vehicle will stall while idling at stops and during low speed maneuvering at turns and in parking lots. While at speeds of 45 MPH+ the vehicle will attempt to stall and temporarily lose power. After stopping the vehicle and placing it in park, the vehicle will restart. This has become a serious safety concern as it stalls while maneuvering through intersections and at intersections where following vehicles accelerate when lights turn green. After taking the vehicle to multiple shops over the past week and a half (including the jeep dealership where it is currently located), it was determined the PCM required reprogramming. Following the reprogramming of the PCM, the dealership determined that the issue was not resolved as the vehicle stalled again while maneuvering from the service bay. Per the federal safety agency action number: ea07007, I can see that the 2006, 4.7l commanders were recalled from what appears to be the same issue. I also noticed that an investigation was conducted concerning the 2006-2007 model commanders with the same issues (investigation # pe07009) but the investigation is now 'closed' and 'upgraded to an engineering analysis (ea07-007) to further assess the frequency, scope and potential safety consequences'. This appears to be a proven issue with daimler chrysler era vehicles with over 1.3 million cherokee and commander's recalled in 2008 (hood, james. "jeep owners complain of stalling." consumer affairs. 17 july 2013) and 76 complaints in investigation # pe07009. I am fortunate that due to my geographic location I am able to avoid heavily populated thoroughfares, but have still had some close calls when stalling mid-intersection with oncoming cross traffic approaching. This issue greatly hampers the vehicle's utilization and has a direct impact on my family's safety.
