Tl* the contact owns a 2007 jeep commander. The contact received recall the federal safety agency campaign number: 13v175000 (electrical system, power train). However, the parts needed were unavailable. The contact mentioned that a follow up notice was received in the summer of 2014, but parts were still unavailable. The contact had not experienced a failure.
The vehicle ignition is faulty and under recall. The vehicle will just turn off by itself. I have contacted chrysler jeep but they have not returned my calls to repair this vehicle. I own 2 of these jeep commanders and neither of them are safe to drive. Chrysler is aware that they are not safe but yet will not repair them or provide safe transportation until repair is made.
I had the n23 recall done on my xk and now the service 4wd light comes on. I have done some research and found out this has happened a lot. Dealership says its not their problem and wont fix it. 4wd had no issues at all till the recall was done.
We were on interstate 57 going 65 MPH when all of a sudden the jeep jerked like it was down shifting and just shut off. We had a semi behind us which almost hit us but we were able to coast onto the side of the side of the road. We then turned the key off and then restarted the car and it started okay but the engine light was on. The engine light finally went off by itself. Since then when driving the jeep jerks and acts like it down shifting and the rpms goes way up. We are afraid to drive it on a highway because shutting off like that on the interstate could cause a serious accident. I am reading several complaints from others who own 2007 jeep commanders so there has to be something faulty! This could cause a serious accident!!! We just purchased this from a dealer a month ago for our 16 year old twins. Thank god they were not driving it when that happened.
During commute to work, vehicle shifting in a jerky manner and rpms are high and erratic for speed of vehicle. At 10:00, when driving to a meeting, when first putting jeep into gear, the gear display "d" disappeared and "4" was in its place, concerning me that the overdrive went out (I've already had a solenoid pack replaced due to the overdrive "going out" - happened about 2 years ago). Vehicle did not want to move forward as I was attempting to pull out onto the street. Fortunately, it moved forward and I reached my destination. During commute home, about 5 miles into my drive on the toll road, the check engine light came on and the engine stalled. Had to pull over to the side of the road, place in park, turn off ignition switch, turn back on, and resumed my commute home.
Driving on toll road, 65-70mph, engine stalled, check engine light came on, lost power steering, had to pull over to the side of the road. Put into park, turned off ignition, restarted. Check engine light remained on and continued driving. Check engine light remained on until mid-afternoon that day. Also noticed shifting was jerky.
Tachometer reads high rpms for speed, jerks when shifting. This lasted several days.
Tachometer rpms read high for speed, jerks when shifting.
Tachometer reads high rpms for speed, jerks when shifting.
Tachometer registers high for speed, shifts in a jerky manner. Dealership scanned and found no codes. Found vacuum leak at iac motor. Replaced idle air control motor. Rechecked operation and test drove.
Tachometer registered high rpms for speed. Speed ranged from 30-70mph. Vehicle would shift in a jerky manner. Contacted dealership and arranged to have it looked at on 8-7.
2007 jeep commander (purchased used in the fall of 2012): as I was pulling out of a parking lot, the car abruptly sped up, causing me to lose control. I crashed into an utility pole directly across from the parking lot exit as a result. The car is now totaled and the utility pole was damaged (leaning over). I traveled approximately 26 feet, at a speed high enough to create that amount of damage. As someone who has driven professionally for many years, this was unnerving and unusual. Also, around 3 months ago the same situation happened while driving down the road. I was following a car going 45 MPH, and my commander suddenly sped up, causing me to apply the brake to slow down. I didn't think anything of it at the time, but now I am wondering if there is/was a problem with the vehicle.
Vehicle continues to stall. At 40mph, engine surges then drops in RPM. Drops RPM to the point of stalling. Idle air control (iac) valve, throttle position sensor (tps), and exhaust gas recirculation (egr) valves have been replaced simultaneously with no change. Only way to drive is to manually shift to keep rpms above 2,000 while driving and to use both the brake and accelerator pedals to keep RPM above 1,200 when at stops. No obd2 service codes are ever triggered.
Vehicle stalled while reversing into parking space vehicle stalls coming to stops.......must be restarted to continue on. Vehicle revs really low at idle, idles bounce 200-400 RPM (between 600-1300 RPM), then stalls.
This is the second time my vehicle has done this. The vehicle is working properly and then all of a sudden it will not start and I get multiple gauge notifications populate including check gauges, transmission over temp. This time it will not start at all, I have tried to start it every day multiple times and it will not start. The same messages are still populating, the battery is good, I have a brand new starter, there is fuel. The vehicle powers up, I can operate everything but the vehicle won't even try to turnover.
I was driving my 2007 jeep commander limited edition 4x4 in city traffic driving approximately 25 MPH in stop and go traffic when it stalled for no apparent reason. The check engine light also came on. After restarting the engine, the problem went away. This stalling and engine light warning has since happened at least 100 more times over the last 4 years. Dealer and independent mechanics are unable to troubleshoot the problem. The most recent event happened on 6/8/14. Complete engine stall on interstate highway. Vehicle was towed 65 miles to home town. Mechanic replaced alternator and battery. Engine started fine, ran well for 2 days and then engine light came back on with intermittent stalling and rough idling. Jeep is at dealer as we speak. Dealer stated they cannot duplicate the problem and will keep the vehicle overnight and try to duplicate the problem tomorrow.
At the south padre island I got stuck in the middle of no where do to my 4x4 transfer case not engaging on low gear. I checked the internet and found out that a lot of people are having this issue do to an update by the dealer n23 to jeep commanders, before this update my commander always worked perfectly. I got concerned do to having my family with me, wife and two children 9 and 11. I am going tomorrow to the jeep car dealer to fix this issue.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 jeep commander 4x4. The contact stated that while driving approximately 65 MPH, the 4wd warning indicator illuminated intermittently as the transmission failed to operate in 4wd. The failure occurred after the vehicle was repaired under the recall associated with the federal safety agency campaign id number 13v175000 (electrical system , power train). The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the transfer case actuator was replaced at the owner's expense. The manufacturer was notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 55,000.
Starting in september of 2013 while on the interstate traveling at 70mph in the middle lane of 3, the vehicle shut off and the warning lights came on and we had to drift to the side of the road. We got of the road to the side put the jeep in park and after several tries it restarted. We have noticed on occasions after this, while slowing down to turn there is a clunk in the drivetrain. Soon after the clunk starts, that is when the jeep will shut off. It has happened at highway speed and at signal lights. After the first it shut off we took it to a jeep dealer and they put on in on the computed but said it didn't show anything. This has happened about 10 times since september and you take your like in your hands everytime you get on the interstate.
This will be the 3rd electric shift module put in this vehicle. The vehicle lost power then stalled in traffic. The vehicle, while stopped in traffic, would surge. If the brake wasn't applied, it would have struck the vehicle in front of mine. When the problem first started, the incidents of stalling and surging were minimal. As time went on, the incidents were more frequent. The previous switch module (21030400768004143-af) was replaced ($1067.00/dealer only part/repair cost). The latest module (dealer only part cost me $1008.04 (part & repair cost). This is the 2nd report to you on this vehicle.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 jeep commander 4x4. The contact stated that while driving various speeds, all of the dashboard lights simultaneously illuminated. The vehicle then accelerated and decelerated independently. The vehicle was taken for diagnosis and the contact was advised that the shift gear box would need replacing. The gear box was replaced however, the failure later recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer ut he was unable to diagnose the failure. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 115,000.
We have only owned this used jeep for not even two months, bought from us auto sales oct 18 2013, vehicle began jerking around all over out of the blue could barely drive it almost caused us to get into an accident, had to pull over multiple times, took for service, said it was not transmission or engine, see on internet five recalls, have read many people having issues, today vehicle freezes up while driving twice, decelerates powers down to almost a stall out in traffic while my five kids are in this vehicle with me! Very dangerous, read on internet multiple places and people having same issues and chrysler not fixing problems??? Why not do they want to be sued or cause an accident? My vehicle just started doing this now two months after buying it used!!!!! Twice in one day freezes up while trying to drive it, powers down wont accelerate, like its stuck in one gear wont go loses power like it will shut off suddenly have to pull over and turn off and restart to get it to stop doing this....make them fix it before it causes accidents for not just me but everyone else that is having this problem search the internet you will find many are having this same issue!!!!!! Do your job! I expect something to be done about this at once! And remedied....do I take this to the dealer to have it fixed? Or back where I bought it????? I am reading that chrysler is refusing to address the issues and multiple incidents are found all over the internet just search it up under make and model and year of the vehicle! And type in loss of power stalling and it says the remedy is a PCM module or something? I really need this addressed at once and told how to fix this as we just bought this vehicle.
I took my 2007 jeep commander to get a n23 recall done on it. Without checking anything before I drove off the lot after they did the update, I tried my 4lo drive out and would not work a few weeks later. I advised the jeep dealership of the problem but they said had nothing to do with the recall. As I looked further into my situation im not the only person to experience this issue with this exact recall. I had jeep take it back in to look over the recall. They had my vehicle for 2 days to tell me that its my transfer case actuator that has gone out. As I advised that the paperwork I gave to them reguarding this recall is in reguards to my transfer case actuator electrical failure. But they insist its now up to me to pay and fix this myself. So now im stuck having to fork out money to replace a part thats not communicating with the recall that was sent to me in the first place plus a diagnostics fee for taking my jeep back. Something that was supposed to help my jeep has made it worse and to top it off I've got nothing but horrible customer service for the dealership and also chrysler customer service. I have a paper in front of my face that shows why they are having a recall due to the transfer case actuator but somehow not the dealership or chrysler cant find such thing. I told them to get on the internet and was informed that everything you see on the internet is not true. Thats when I had enough. How dare them say that when chryslers name is on the top left of the recall. I feel now that I was let down by the dealership and chrysler and have no where to turn to help me get this problem fixed without paying out of my pocket.
After taking the jeep commander in to a dealer ship to get recall the federal safety agency campaign number 13v175000 fixed the vehicle has been wanting to turn off at random. It has happened while in park or even driving the vehicle. The 1st time it happen, I was accelerating while getting on the high way and I was going about 40 MPH and the engine lost all power and it was hard to steer. It lasted about 4 sec and then stopped. The next time it happen was going down the high way about 65 MPH with the cruise on and it did the same thing and the last time it did it the vehicle was parked. Each time it happens it only last about 4-5 secs. It just started doing it right after the dealer ship reprogrammed the ECM to fix the recall.
I was notified of a recall notice on my commander in june. The recall (n23) states the car can shift into neutral while in the parked position. My car has shifted into neutral twice while moving, once while I was traveling 25 MPH and once at 70 MPH. I contacted the dealer and chrysler. The part is currently unavailable to fix the recall issue. They informed me there is nothing I can do but wait. They do not have an expected date for the part's arrival. I'm left without a vehicle, and they do not cover loaner cars for their recall.
Since sept. 2012 I have been having problems with my vehicle not starting and the dashboard message is "transmission over heat" or "transmission temp over heat". It will not start at all. This past sunday it started but it would cut off like it was out of gas but there was a more than half full. I had to get towed for the 2nd time in a week and for the 5th time since 2012. No one seems to be able to find the problem and fix it permanently so this problem doesn't happen again. I am a disabled woman and can't afford to be stranded every time I get in my vehicle and have to sit and wait for a tow for over an hour. I also have to keep paying for repairs that haven't been working so that's draining me. Is there a reason for this problem and if someone has the answer please let me know so I can get this fixed once and for all. I have never had a problem like this with any vehicle I've ever had before.
Purchased the jeep in january of 2011. Within a month of owning it, it would randomly stall while driving down the road. When the jeep stalls, all of the lights in the dashboard illuminate. You can push down on the gas pedal and the RPM's go up, but the speed still decreases until the vehicle stops. It will cut right back on after stopping and cutting the engine off. The vehicle will randomly do this no matter the weather conditions, speed, or anything else. Took it to a mechanic and they couldn't find anything wrong with it and I was told they would have to recreate the problem themselves to fix it. Since it randomly messes up under no special circumstances, I couldn't leave the vehicle with them while they drove it every day trying to recreate the problem. Jeep has done this probably 10 times since I have owned it. I called a dealership and gave my VIN and was told no recalls on this vehicle. Yet I am continuously reading about the same exact issue with other people's 2007 jeep commanders.
On or about the above date the rpms on my vehicle raced up and the car suddenly lunged forward, it happened again a few times afterward without any check engine codes. I had it checked back then and nothing was found because no codes were present.this happened a couple of times a year since I owned it, but noticed it happens when it's raining. Today 3/12/2013 (heavy rain) my wife was stopped at a light and it raced & lunged forward just missing a pedestrian. I immediately brought it to a neihborhood jeep dealer & explained the severity of the situation. He was very accomodating and took it in immediately. After a few hours in the shop & a test drive ,again, nothing found. There were no engine codes present, all other components were with-in specs. I asked if this is a similar problem to the 2006 recall, he said possibly, but this VIN. Is not under recall. (I belive the 2006 recall was the power train control module.) I am not sure were to go with this but this needs to be resolved by jeep before an accident happens.
