When shifting from park to drive, or reverse to drive, the engine stalls and it takes almost a minute for the shift to actually occur so I can drive.
2007 Jeep Commander 4x4 transmission complaints
Page 3 of 4: complaints 41 to 70 of 87, newest first, as owners wrote them.
After stopping at traffic lights, stop signs or awaiting traffic to clear in order to make turns, the engine stalls but will re-fire after placing transmission in park or neutral and turning the ignition key. (I just purchased the vehicle and found out from the previous owner that the problem began during the summer of 2012, resulting in the trade-in because two different dealers could not find the problem. Dealers replaced the following: map sensor, cam and crank sensor, egr valve, cleaned throttle body, replaced the PCM, spark plugs, replaced air idle control valve, replaced battery. None of the above have fixed the stalling problem which could get one killed in traffic.)
Vehicle was traveling at a speed of sixty five MPH on the highway, when the engine just shut off, losing power and making it very hard to get the vehicle off the road and stopped safely. This has happened numerous times in the year we have owned the vehicle. When the engine shuts off it makes it very hard to turn because power steering is disabled because the engine is not running. When the vehicle shuts off it makes it very hard to get to the shoulder of the roadway without any engine power and the sudden slowing down is a very high risk for a rearend collision. We have had numerous close calls in this vehicle because of this problem. I have replaced numerous parts to try and resolve this issue but with no success it continues to happen. The vehicle has been to the dealership numerous times to have this problem fixed and they say (we can not get the vehicle to act up with the technician driving the vehicle to exactly pin point the problem.) this is very frustrating because this vehicle is very unsafe to drive with this issue. I have looked up numerous complaints and issues of people with the same vehicle having identical problems and have yet to be resolved. We have replaced spark plugs, coils, map sensor, mds wiring harness, ignition switch with oem parts and the issue still continues. I recommend faulty engine wiring, ECM, to the service advisors just to be ignored. They tell me until the issue is recorded on the vehicle scanner that nothing can be done to pin point the problem.
I was pulling out onto the highway. As I got up to around 15 MPH, all the shift indicator lights lit up ,around park, neutral, drive and reverse. My acceleration cut off. I couldn't accelerate past, maybe, 20 MPH. The rpms would go up, with no response from the vehicle. I had cars coming up fast behind me and I couldn't go any faster or pull off, till the next turn off. Also, if I'm pulling out, from a stop, sometimes I just lose power and my car crawls on to the road, especially if on a incline. It's really scary and dangerous.
2007 jeep commander limited 5.7l hemi stalled again while driving. This time, my daughter was pulling into the driveway when it stalled and she had no control over the brakes or steering because they don't work when the vehicle stalls. She just about drove through the garage door. This is a major safety issue and must be addressed before someone gets hurt or even worse, killed. I took it to the jeep dealership and they updated the PCM, but as soon as I left it stalled again, so I took it back and they replaced an ignition coil. As soon as I pulled off the highway on my way home, it stalled again. They want to replace all of the ignition coils which will cost about $550, and they claim this may fix the issue. I don't understand how jeep doesn't know how to fix this issue. There are thousands of jeep owners that are experiencing the same issue with no fix. That's all we want is a solution to the problem before someone dies.
Vehicle randomly stalls while driving it at various speeds and while parked. This time, I was going 45mph and it completely stalled. The vehicle has to be in park in order to restart it and it was very difficult to start. This is extremely dangerous since the brakes and steering don't work when it stalls. I have also discovered that there was a recall on a handful of 2008 commanders due to a malfunctioning front control module or transmission control module. This should be taken very seriously because many jeep owners are afraid to drive them due to the uncertainty of the random stalling.
3rd row seat belts break and are unusable whenever the 3rd row seats are folded down. The plastic piece is pushed over the metal latching piece of the seat belt. They have been fixed and are now broken again, now the 3rd row seat cannot be used for passengers. Water from rain is coming through the doors, puddling at the base of the door. The jeep was in park, when I attempted to put the car in reverse it would not go, all of the prd were lit up with blocks around them. I turned off the jeep and I was able to put the car in reverse.
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?
Hard downshift mostly at lower speeds and slowing down. Sometimes very hard other times not so hard but definitely present. It has sounds like a bang with a jerk also. Something is going to break as this is not going away. Currently under warranty and can't fix it. Great! What happens when my warranty is up and it falls apart and big bucks to fix from the abuse it took because the dealership cannot find the problem. Was told I may have to live with it. I don't flipping thinks so. $36,700.00 for this vehicle brand new. Never had this problem until 50k miles. Something is wrong. Asking for help chrysler!! Fix that german transmission! Big problem getting worse and dealership has had it 4 times in a month. Does not have a clue. They say it's fixed. I drive away and within a day it comes right back. Call me chrysler!
The transmission seems to slam into gear upon release of the accelerator when slowing down upon the automatic downshifting that take place. Sometime is seems quite violent and other times not to bad but very noticeable. I have had this vehicle in for service for this same exact complaint. However the fix the dealer claimed they did was temporary. It is back again and is worrisome to me. Also the driver side widow does not roll up or down properly without slamming hard near the close or open and something inside rattles pretty bad. The dealer also has repaired this and it was also temporary, really never fixed.
Vehicle, a 2007 jeep commander 4wd, stopped moving forward, felt like it was in neutral, rpms went up but vehicle did not move forward. I let off the gas, then it jerked a couple of times, engine light came on and it started to move normally. While in the atm drive thru, put the vehicle in drive and it would not move, put it in park again, then shifted down to drive and it moved. Took the vehicle to the dealer, they advised that it was a shift module on the transmission that needed to be replaced, I had an extended warranty, and the vehicle only had 42200 miles on it. Warranty will not cover the $16000.00 plus cost to repair. Needless to say this is the last jeep I will own. Given the amount of online complaints regarding this same problem there should be a recall, this is a huge safety issue.
While driving acceleration of the vehicle is interupted, the service park assist system comes on the display. The engine light came on and stayed on for several days. This has happend to me and my wife at least five times in the last 8 weeks. We have to pull over and shut off the vehicle, restart and continue on. This is a dangerous situation when pulling out not to have acceleration when you should. Vehicle was brought to the dealership and they tracked the problem to the electronic shift module. As usual its not covered. Its very dissapointing to spend money maintaining your vehicle per the reccomendation of the manufacturer just to have to replace parts that cannot be maintained.
I have had several problems with the 2007 jeep commander. At times it will not start. Recently it has lost power/speed when accelerating. I was merging onto the highway and it suddenly lost power and would not go above 20mph. The engine had a strange noise to it. I have had it "fixed" multiple times but nothing seems to stop the problems. It is the worst car I have ever owned.
Vehicle would not start. Drove 1.5 miles to gas station. Turned car off. Fueled. Car would not start. Message on display: transmission over temperature. 30 minutes later car started. Next incident occurred today (4/2/12). Car was parked for 10.5 hours before attempting to start. Car would not start. Message on display: transmission over temperature. Car still won't start three hours later. Contacted chrysler customer service because of recall h03 (similar symptoms). They stated that my car was not part of the recall. If enough people have the same problem, then they will issue a recall.
My 2007 jeep commander that I have had for less then a year has been giving me issues for a few months now, the service park assist light will come on and then the gears will light up and vehicle will stall while driving, it will lose all power and shift like the trans is slipping, at one point I was going across traffic while leaving a parking lot and it stalled lucky for me there was no other cars coming my way. I have had enough of this problem and seems like others are having the same problem, why is this not being recalled for safety purposes, its only a matter of time before I get rear ended from this issue.
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.
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.
I had come to a complete stop and when I accelerated my vehicle it stalled as I was rounding a corner. My engine light began to flash. The prnd letters on the dash all lit up and the screen read service park assist. I have had this happen multiple times where all the letters light up and it will not accelerate on the highway. I can usually tell when it's going to happen because it tends to struggle on acceleration. Sometimes it will kick back and then letters light up. Really annoying when it happens 4-5 times a day. Other times it happens as I'm getting on the highway and the other vehicles behind have to brake fast due to stall. Very dangerous!!
This is in relation to previous complaints 10333965 and 10381374. Same problem occurred again on oct 24, 2011. While driving on freeway at about 60 MPH, the vehicle made a sudden and violent jerk but did not totally lose power like in most other situations. This problem has not occurred since february 2011 and seems to only occur in cold weather.
I own a 2007 jeep commander 4 x 4 3.7l. After having some issues with, what I thought was the transmission slipping, I checked and added trans. Fluid and had both trans lines replaced due to leaking. Everything seemed to be ok for a couple weeks, until I was driving to work and not only was there a delay when I would try to accelerate, the service parking assist system message appeared a couple times, along with the check engine light. The vehicle would not accelerate over 30 miles per hour and the rpms would run above 2 on the dash. I parked, turned the engine off, hoping it would reset the system, but it still continued to repeat the same things when I turned everything back on again. This went on for about 10 minutes. Then after 10 minutes passed, I was stopped at a light and when I went to accelerate from the stop, once the light turned, the vehicle felt as if it was going to stall. I started researching the symptoms that I was having and it seems to be recurring in many 2007 jeep commanders. Most of the complaints that I read about, state that the dealer told them the either the automatic transmission control module or the electronic shift module was faulty. Please look into this issue further. My jeep is only 4 years old and only has 50k miles on it and for a serious problem like this to be going on with so few miles, this just doesn't seem right.
I own a 2007 jeep commander and now it will shift in low speed mode while traveling at highway speeds. I have the dealer rest it and it did it again while coming home. The replacement of this module is 1000 dollars and with only 104k miles I feel that for safety and reliability this should is on recall. This jeep is only 4 yrs old and to early for this type of problem.
Service park assist system would come up and p r n d would light up, then jeep would not accelerate until I put it in neutral or park and then back into drive. A couple of times when it would not accelerate it had completely stalled out for no reason. Check engine light comes on intermitently during this time. Also, manual shift bevel stopped working about 4 months after getting the vehicle (still covered by warranty) and was replaced, stopped working about 5 months after that and was replaced with the warranty but then stopped working again about 3 months later and is not covered by the warranty any longer. About 1 month ago heard a loud noise as I was going from reverse to drive and now everytime it shifts from first to second or second to first it shifts very hard.
While driving my 2007 jeep commander all four gears would show them being highlighted (p-n-r-d) and when this would happen it would lose power and slow down to a point where there was a concern about being rear ended if it could not be pulled over. I took it to a dealer and they had to replace the electronic shift module. In looking on the internet this is not a isolated incident but is occurring nation-wide. The service manager even said that they get about one of these a month. This is just one dealer and appears to be nation-wide from what I saw on the internet. Both the dealer and chrysler have said that they would not do anything about except repair this problem at the consumers expense. This is definitely a problem that chrysler is ignoring but someday they may be facing a law suit if their is a bad accident.
Service park assist light came on and all power was lost. Code shows a transmission control module it appears to be a common problem on the jeep commander. Safety issue when your traveling at 65mph and your power fails.
At intermittent times the vehicle would delay upon pressing the accelerator and not shift properly. It was taken to be serviced after the transmission reverted to "safe mode" while driving. Dealer reset the system. Acceleration and shifting problems continued until "check engine" light illuminated together with the "service parking assist system" message. Were informed by the dealer that the automatic transmission control module was faulty and would need to be replaced. Dealer also informed us that the part had been previously replaced by an authorized jeep service center prior to us purchasing the vehicle.
We have a 2007 jeep/commander sport thats really somewhat a proble since we bought it (used) and its been a problem since getting it. It has a serious problem with lurching forward while in park/drive and while you're pressing the brakes at a stop. It did it at the dealership as well they did nothing about it. We've replaced inner parts to the transmission that chrysler refused to cover under the warranty. We've had some type of module replaced a couple of times because the truck started running rough( chrysler covered that) each time it happened. Theres so much we caan complain about this truck and chrysler doesnt wnat to cover non of the major things. There's definitely /always has been an engine problem.
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.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 jeep commander. The vehicle stalled several times while the driver was traveling 70 MPH. She pulled over and was able to restart it. The veicle was taken to a local repair shop where the contact was informed that the gear shift module was defective. The vehicle was repaired. The contact filed a complaint with the manufacturer. The current and failure mileages were 40,439.
I have a 2007 jeep commander and while driving along the highway with my toddlers, I noticed that it had difficulty shifting from first gear to second gear. After a few seconds, it spontaneously shifted which caused the car to jerk. While this was happening, the check engine light came on. I've also noticed the "service park assist" light coming often. This car has made me feel unsafe and I don't exactly know what is wrong with it. I have noticed, however, that a few people have reported this same problem and some with worse problems of their car stalling. I don't want this problem to persist especially because I haul my children around in it.
