Filed Aug 28, 2018 · Engine · 128,000 miles · PA

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. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The contact waited approximately ten minutes and the vehicle restarted normally. The vehicle was driven to the contact's residence. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (zimmerman motors, 1301 market street, sunbury, pa 17801), but they could not determine the cause of the failure. 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. The vehicle was taken to three independent mechanics, but the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 128,000.

I would be driving, and my temperature gauge would slowly creep over to hot, temp over heating..I noticed as I slowed down my car wanted to stall, it would putt putt putt until I gave it a go as if it was misfiring, and slowly the temperature gauge would go back to normal. Honestly not thinking anything of it, I went home, dropped the groceries off and proceeded back to my car to pick my son up from school. I started my car, it stalled, I started it again, it stalled, extremely worried I was praying third time a charm..as I started it the third time it started with much hesitation and did the same stuttering as if it was misfiring again. I proceeded to my sons school, watching the temperature gauge creep right back up to hot. When I got there I checked the hood, no steam, nothing seemed hot, and the coolant level was still full. When we went to leave it refused to start. Long story short, I have been without my car for a month now, and after spending 1000's of dollars to fix the situation, the mechanic cant for certain put his hand on it. Everything he does, leads to him thinking something else, and leads to the problem becoming an engine overhaul. Has anyone else had this over heating issue, and the misfiring of the car, as if it stalls while driving? Please, I have contacted chrysler, I am at my wits end.

Following up on this. It appears mr. [xxx] may no longer be with dot / the federal safety agency [xxx]to: [xxx] subject: fw: the federal safety agency inquiry - 2007 jeep commander date: wed, 9 feb 2011 20:19:20 -0700 dear mr. [xxx]: this problem has continued and even become more frequent -- probably occurring about 8 times in the past 2 months and approx 6 times in the past three weeks. It seems to happen during cold weather (no incidents from about about july 2010 to december 2010). It has also happened at slower speeds than the 55-65 MPH described below occurring twice at speeds under 45 MPH in the past month. I've also had a few incidents where the vehicle hesitates but keeps running. Usually it just quits completely, though. This is all very frustrating because jeep has always told us nothing is wrong.

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.
