While the vehicle was stationary and off, I am unable to start the car. All lights work properly, and the battery is new & working. After hitting the starter with a wrench, the vehicle started. This continues to happen.

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 morning the car would not start at all. Battery is 100%. All lights come on, everything else works fine but engine will not start. Vehicle is in excellent condition very low mileage. If this would have happened out in the bush we would be in serious trouble. Chatter on most of the jeep forums confirms multiple no start issues across the jeep product line.

Driving home from meeting approx 10pm. All seemed to be running smoothly. Sudden 'clunk' noise from engine compartment. Engine stalled. Coasted to side of road. All dash lights came on as they do at engine startup...indicating engine not running. Once stopped placed vehicle in neutral. Turned off key and turned back on. Engine started immediately and I completed my trip without further incident. The key did not fall out nor do I have anything attached to it. This is the 5.7liter engine. A review of this issue on the internet once home has returned 100s of complaints from people who have had the same problem with no dealer resolution in any of the cases I read. I do not know if this is related to the outstanding key issue. I purchased this car yesterday so I cannot speak to whether it has happened before. This could be a very serious situation were it to happen in commute time traffic. I see the stalling issue on your list with all the engines used in the commander but I see no resolution. This was from 2007. What has happened with this?

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.

It was a rainy day. I pulled my car in to the garage and shut off the engine. Pulled out the key and entered my house. The garage is connected to my home. I came back to the garage some time later to find the engine was still on. I ran to the drivers seat to see no key in the ignition and verified the remote engine feature wasn't engaged, it is designed to turnoff after the car door is open for a short time. The engine wouldn't shut off. I brought it to my husband, who drove it a bit and could not get the engine off. Eventually it self corrected. A truly dangerous issue since this car is parked in my home. We brought it to the dealer about 4 times, and while the engine hasn't done that again, various parts of the car turn on spontaneously. A single head light, a single brake light, all the lights. It seems the electrical system no longer has full control of the vehicle and that is dangerous. I believe my car is just one of many 2007 jeeps that are having enormous electrical problems, my case just illustrates how dangerous this could be. A car engine running spontaneously is unacceptable and it is clear this is just a symptom of a common problem to all these jeeps.

My 2007 jeep commander is having a problem with stalling. The car has stalled on me once (1 september 2010) since I just purchased it used on 10 august 2010. I do not know what caused it to stall, but on residential street all dash lights came on and engine stalled and shut down while I am driving. I have checked numerous sites where the stalling problem has been discussed and I even saw an article where the federal safety agency has stated they are widening their investigation of jeep commander stalling problems. Need to know if an official recall has been issued for this particular jeep commander year.

Severe collision with the front end of my vehicle. I was driving at approx 50 MPH when the car ahead suddenly stopped. I applied my brakes and skidded into the other vehicle's rear end. From the skid marks starting at the point of contact my vehicle took approx another 35 feet to stop. I believe my vehicle's speed was 30 MPH. It was a solid hit as my vehicle nose dived and hit bumper to bumper. The rear of the other vehicle's bumper was forced down to the ground and gouged the pavement. My vehicle then continued to crush in the entire rear of the car and my hood struck the rear window. The other car then traveled about 50 feet further resting upon a telephone pole. I believe that the impact was severe and of sufficient speed that the air bags and or the seat belt retractors should have engaged. I was seat belted in at the time of the impact but still received a minor concussion and whiplash. My vehicle's damage was quite severe and is estimated in excess of $14,000.00. Both frame rails are bent and at the very least the left one will need replacement. The vehicle a, 2008 jeep commander was purchased new by myself in may 2008. All warning lights were off and all systems note no problems. By this I mean that the air bag lamp and seat belt lamp still operate even after the crash. The vehicle was towed to the body shop and await your advise as how to proceed. The vehicle has been appraised by my insurance company, and even their adjuster along with the police, emergency people have all questioned as to why my safety air bags did not deploy. The vehicle has not been disassembled nor has anyone messed with the vehicle before or after the crash.
