The "prnd" gears lit up with boxes around them - the "service parking assist brake" came on as well.... I could not accelerate at all after the light turned green - had to turn on hazard lights and turn vehicle off and back on - worked fine for 10 minutes or so and then the check engine light came on, it has been on ever since. Called the dealership about this they asked me to bring it in for diagnosing, but hesitant because of all the same kind of stories that I have read on this issue. Going to have to give in though, this is a major safety concern of mine now... Have not seen a recall for this even though someone can certainly have a devastating accident, not willing to take that chance... Love my vehicle, but now I hate the aggravation that this is causing.. With all the horror stories with the same sort of issue you would think that jeep would take care of this, I guess that this is why they discontinued the commander?
2007 Jeep Commander electrical complaints
Page 13 of 14: complaints 341 to 370 of 371, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I have a 2007 jeep commander and it is less than four years old and I have had the starter replaced 4 times. Jeep can't explain why they can't fully fix the problem and they refuse to acknowledge that this is an issue with the commanders at large and not my specific vehicle. In addition to having had the starter replaced 4 times, I have also had the electronic shifting module replaced as well and the crankshaft. My commander has less than 40,000 miles on it and has been well maintained since I purchased it brand new. Jeep has failed to address my concerns and refuses to accept responsibility for selling me a vehicle. Jeep suggested I purchase a new vehicle and I find this preposterous due to the fact that the car is less than four years old. The commander is clearly defective and jeep needs to take responsibility for it. Instead, jeep refuses to accept responsibility and they decided to rectify the problem by halting production.

I purchased a 2007 jeep commander on 1/10/2011.the car has been in the shop 5 times because it stalls while in transit. The car while in drive at various speeds max that I have experienced was 55 MPH shuts off. All the electrical, everything turns off. At this point you must hope that the car behind you doesnt hit you, you must put the car in park, turn it back on then put in back in drive whilepraying you do not get hit from behind. This has happened 4 times within the 90 days that I have owned it. I am told that they dont know what it is. I cannot imagine a car that just turns off when it wants to. I am afraid to drive this car.
I own a 2007 jeep commander while driving car stalls in dec the vehicle wouldnt start after several attempts it did however it began reading errors service park assist and check engine light stayed on then it wouldn't read fuel, would say it was empty although it had full tank of gas. Was told to replace fuel sending unit but the problem stopped on it's own when the temperature got cold the problem started up again. I'm very scared to drive it due to stalling problems not sure what to do anymore. When I called mechanic they said there is a nationwide back order on that part no timeframe given for part by dealer and still no recalls on this problem
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 jeep commander. The contact stated that his knee would continuously contact the ignition key entry, which was located on the dashboard, and causing the vehicle to completely shut off without intent. The dealer advised him to call the manufacturer and the manufacturer advised him to take the vehicle to the local dealer to determine whether or not the wiring was loose. The vehicle was not repaired or diagnosed for the failure. The current mileage was 43,270 and the failure mileage was 43,000.
Vehicle was leaving a stop sign entering a feeder road with 50 MPH speed limit. Upon accelerating, the vehicle lunged, and died. It restarted and was driven to it's original destination. We called chrysler after she returned home and they told us to take it to a dealership for a diagnostics. Dealership says it is not covered by any recall and that the throttle body needs cleaning for $250. (a $2 can of cleaner). This same vehicle stalled twice in the same trip one week earlier but I considered it as part of the cold weather. After reading all of this, they have an issue with the 2007 hemi's and have not fessed up to it.
While driving at slow speed such as slowing to stop or taking off from a dead stop the truck stalls and has to be put in park and restarted. This happens quite frequently, and when driving on interstates when trying to accelerate the truck also stalls or has a power failure where it almost feels like it its a governed speed and the engine won't let you speed up. The computer now is having issues saying that the engine coolant is too cold, thought the thermostat is working fine as well as the gauges inside the truck. The computer is also giving a code of an error with the barometric pressure.

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.
Leaving a parking lot and accelerating as I drove. All of the sudden the vehicle started stalling and would not accelerate even if the gas pedal was pushed. The check engine light came on as well. Then the vehicle started accelerating back to normal, but the check engine light reamined on. I took it to auto zone to have a diagnostic check done and they gave me a code and said that it was not a part that they carried only from the manufacturer. It has happened a couple of times before today and on the dash it would say service park assist and the gears prndl are all highlighted.the same thing happened to me about 2 years ago and it was the shifter. It only had about 40,000 miles. It had to be completely replaced. It was not covered by my extended warranty because it was an external part of the transmission. It cost close to $600.00. Now it is happening again and I don't want to replace it again if it is going to happen again in a year or two.
I have a 2007 jeep commander. The right rear tail light and inside dashboard panel has been consistency going out for over a year now. The fuses keep blowing. The car has been in the dealer service department several times. Even after lengthy consults with engineers at chrysler, they cannot fix the problem. Maybe they need to get high on marijuana and drink beer to find the problem. The car is currently in the shop again.
Engine stalls, and turns off.....had to pull to side of road due to loss of power. Prnd lights lite up....and feels like trans dis engaged. At 35,000 miles had the shift module replaced under warranty. It's at 56,000 miles and its doing the same thing....not covered by warranty. I feel that if I fix it now. Again....a year later the problem will still be there. Happend 4 times in month...not safe to drive.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 jeep commander. The contact stated when driving in rainy weather, all instrument panel lights would intermittently illuminate while driving at various speeds. The failure would cause the speedometer and fuel level indicator to give inaccurate readings. When the fuel level indicator would read empty, the vehicle would stall, despite there being fuel in the vehicle. The instrument panel would reset itself to normal after several minutes. The manufacturer advised to have the vehicle diagnosed, because the vehicle did not have a recall, and they are not aware of the failure. The dealer stated the failure could only be duplicated while the vehicle was experiencing the actual failure. The contact had not yet taken the vehicle to the dealer for diagnosis. The failure mileage was 49,000 and the current mileage was 52,100.
2007 jeep commander, started with "service park assist" light coming on along with the check engine light. Took it in for service, they could not determine the problem so they reset the system. Two days later the same thing began to happen again, along with the lights around the p n r d on the display coming on all together, the car also then began to not want to accelerate after a certain point. Almost acting like it was not wanting to shift to the next gear. This happened for 8 months, still no service was done because they were unable to recreate the problem. It began to occur while driving and coming to a stop and starting to go forward again. Causing problems crossing intersections or traffic. Have now been told to replace the transmission control module, which we did. This did not fix the issue. In the last week were told to replace the electronic shift module.
Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6) 2007 jeep commander [xxx] turn the ignition key and does not want to start, did it in october 2009 and march 10th 2010. All power is on, lights, radio, boosted battery, this is not the issue, it finally turned on idled extremely high, I turned it off and tried to start it over and over and over and would not start. By reviewing the internet other owners of the 2007 jeep commnader are experiencing ;stalling and the car not starting, it appers to be an alternator issue, but chrysler is saying they don't know why this is occurring. My car was towed to south point dodge, in austin texas for diagnostic analyzing, they have not told me what the problem is. I am concerned if this issue is nationwide and chrysler has not done a recall. This is a major safety issue if cars are stalling on the highways and not starting, could cause a death. Please look into this matter immediately. [xxx]

Transmission stalling while driving- according the dealership service this is a problem with the electronic shift module. This has happened several times and is also a noted problem in these vehicles. This same vehicle has already been recalled for similar issue, but only for the bigger engine size. Chrysler has informed me that they will not investigate even though it is the same problem in a different engine size. The vehicle can be traveling at 70 MPH on the interstate and stall without warning. It will not go any further without stopping, turning off the engine and restarting. This happens several times daily. I have tried to get fixed and work with the problem, but after almost being rearended by an 18wheeler on the interstate today, enough is enough. It is for 2007 jeep commander 3.7lt.

In addition, the check engine warning indicator illuminated on the instrument panel once the vehicle was restarted. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer, but they could not duplicate the failures. The dealer suggested not to drive the vehicle and stated that the failures may have been related to grounding in the wiring system. No repairs have been made to date.

This is my 2nd complaint to you guys about this frightening and dangerous issue of my jeep commander engine stalling problems. I almost had another accident by driving 35 MPH and the engine just stalls, power and lighting flashes on and off, then fails. No power over the car and the steering wheel locks up! The car behind me had to veer sharply to keep from running into the back of me. It was an unexpected stall for other vehicles as well as myself. I have tried to get help, but to no avail. I am scared to continue to drive this dangerous auto and need some help either replacing it or jeep to take it back! Also, it still jerks forward, (with my foot on the brake!) while I'm sitting at a light, almost hitting the pedestrians walking in the crosswalk in front of me. There are many complaints on the internet with very similar and like complaints and no one is doing anything about it. I guess they're waiting for a tragedy, instead of trying to prevent one. Please advise.

I own a 2007 jeep commander at about 10,000 miles it started to stall and turn off. Dealer did not replace any parts only flushed the on board computer and updated the software. Months later it started to do the same thing. Dealer did not find anything wrong and performed the same task of flushing the computer and updating its software. Two years and 23,000 miles and the car is having the same problem. I have an extended warranty so I'm going back to the dealer, but I don't think they we fix the problem . Tr
