This car looses power without warning... Goes into neutral without warning... Slows down without warning... I have complaints dated back to 2011... Finally a recall... But the chrysler jeep rep said bc of the type of trac system I have it won't apply to me... I'm afraid to drive but have no other choice unless I walk! My vehicle is within the same yr as the recall and has the same problems... Im filing a lawsuit!!! They won't be satisfied until someone is seriously injured!
2007 Jeep Commander brakes complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 24 of 24, newest first, as owners wrote them.
My 2006 jeep commander v-6 is showing esp, bas codes as well as disabling back up assist, traction control stays off, the ABS light, and some times it wont click into gear, drive or reverse. And it is miss firing on cylinder number four. Also all the lights dim and flicker.
Was driving to work going about 60 MPH and motor just shuts off. Had to pull off to the side of the road and turn off the key and tried to restart engine. It didn't start on the first try had to turn key off and tried again it started. It did the same thing when I was going home that morning had to do the same thing as above to get it started again. This is very dangerous I didn't have power steering or brakes luckily I wasn't on the freeway.
My wife was driving to church with my daughter and the vehicle stalled without warning for the 7th or 8th time since we bought the vehicle. There was heavy traffic at 6pm and it scared her and my 9 yr old daughter to tears. This vehicle is a real danger to my family and the lives of others. It does not start at this point.
Slowing down at a traffic light and the vehicle stalled. Again coming close to causing a major accident because of so much traffic., the vehicle would not start again for about 30 minutes cause grid lock and chaos. All I could here was a clicking sound when trying to start it. This happened multiple times after that and the last time I ended up having to steer into a steep ditch to avoid rear ending an 18 wheeler. I had my kids with me at the time. I contacted the dealer and got no help.
Driving down the highway at 65 MPH. The vehicle stalled and I lost all power. Continued to run and stalled 5 minutes later almost causing an accident.
While driving down the road the jeep shut off, complete loss of power, brakes and steering then after a few seconds turned back on. This had happened 4 times within 10 mile. This is not the first time that this has happened. I had taken it to the dealership so they could plug it into their computer. The results were negative and could not find any problems. Searching online, there are several other jeep owners that are having the same problem. There needs to be a recall on these vehicles before someone gets hurt or killed.
Car stalls, dies and suffers a loss of control while decelerating. This has occurred 7 times in total now. Complete loss of engine power, power brakes, and steering. Unacceptable danger to my family and others on the road.

2007 jeep commander. Consumer states that the vehicle made a loud noise and all warning lights indicated the shift indicator. Mechanic replaced the esim. Consumer states the problem has returned. *kb the consumer stated on october 23, 2010 as he was entering a parking lot at a very low speed, preparing to stop, he was unable to stop and jumped the curb and a fence.
Traveling to stoplight, and when I went to brake, the brakes did not catch causing me to crash into the car in front of me.
The brake system would lock up at high speeds, drivable and you feel the friction and it's like a tugging effect until you brake and then it would be completely fine. This first happened back in june of 2007. I brought the car in to have the dealer look at the problem as soon as it happened. They said everything was fine and they couldn't find anything wrong, nothing showed up on their tests. This brake problem happened occasionally through the year with no warning light appearing on the panel and it was brought to the dealers attention and always the same result, nothing they can find in their tests. But lately this brake problem was happening more frequently, more random and progressive and again was brought to the dealers attention, 3 different dealers in fact. And still nothing they can find.
