The check engine light came on after the engine stalled out several times in a row. I had it tested, and they said it was an idle air control valve. The idle air control valve does not exist on this vehicle, but yet its the only code that it is giving off. I'm still having stalling issues which are dangerous when pulling out of intersections. Another issue that is ongoing that I'm having, is the sunroof leaking. I have literally 2 gallons of water that will be on my floor board when it rains. You can hear water sloshing above your head before it hits the wiring in the door panels and then collects on the floor boards.

2007 jeep commander windshield easily chipped twice during the year of 2008. Not cracked yet, but will have to replace eventually. I did not realize that other commander owners had experienced same until reading online forum. This seems to be a design flaw.

I have a 2007 jeep commander. I live in virginia. The temperature has been in the 30's. With no apparent cause (no rock hitting or anything), my windshield started with a tiny hairline crack (bottom middle) and in a couple days, the cracked line became "l-shaped" and moving left. It was about 8 inches in length. I believe there is a design flaw in the windshield since nothing happened other than the cold temperature and my perhaps my use of the vehicle's defrost.

In august 2009 a truck dropped a rock from its load a broke (cracked) my windshield on my 2007 jeep commander. We had the windshield replaced and with in weeks a crack appeared on the top of driver"s side. The windshield was not struck by anything. That cracked windshield was replaced and in november that windshield cracked on the top side of the driver's side. Again nothing struck the windshield. On dec. 1, 2009 third windshield was installed. Late in december, 2009 that windshield developed a crack on the bottom of the driver's side. Again nothing struck the windshield to cause the crack. The auto glass company states that this is unusual but nothing they are doing during the installation would cause this problem to occur three consecutive times. We drove the car for two years, 2007 to 2009 without problems with the windshield. Only after a replacement was installed did the cracks start appearing. The cracks in the replacement windows on the driver's side do cause visibility and safety issues.

2007 jeep commander windshields are flawed, and crack easily. Spreading across the whole windshield. I have had to have the windshield replaced once shortly after I purchased it in april 08, and 1/2 year later both sides have cracks in it. I believe the design or curve may be too 'fragile' for safety, not to mention my budget!

Hvac and defrost directs cold air onto windshield while sending 175 degree fahrenheit hot air to bottom vents air is not mixing properly. Jeep dealer will not make repair, saying "this is how HVAC works". Due to cold air blowing from the defroster on windshield, windshield builds up with ice and snow, and does not defrost properly.

While driving on the freeway, my vehicle was struck with a pebble which caused it to chip. Days later, the entire windshield was cracked. The dealership looked at it, took pictures, submitted it to determine whether they would replace it due to defect, etc. I was told by several automotive professionals that the situation was odd. I never heard back from the dealership, and after several attempts of trying to contact them, was told they were still waiting. Months had passed and I still never got anywhere with chrysler so I replaced the windshield out of pocket in nov. 2007. Since then I have 2 new stone chips and a 3rd that resulted in the same splintering crack across the entire windshield. The same has recently happened to my 2008 dodge avenger when a small chip splintered in 5 different directions. In all the years I have been driving and all the vehicles my husband and I have owned I have never had even a chip in a windshield, even while living on a gravel road. Is this just bad luck or is chrysler to blame for cheap/faulty parts? I have seen many service bulletins on your website regarding this as well.
