All light flash off and on randomly sometimes leaving the gauges and AC not working then return and leave the eas and traction control light and check engine light on. Pulling the code reveal a u1403 and u1411 code. When bumps are hit or the AC is on the lights flash and sometime wiggling the ignition switch stops the flashing other times it is random and sometime more sporadic, when the vehicle is experiencing the problem the car ignition can be shut off and the restarted sometimes it stops the trouble..
2007 Jeep Commander electrical complaints
Page 3 of 14: complaints 41 to 70 of 371, newest first, as owners wrote them.
While highway driving, the vehicle shut off at 70mph in middle lane. There were no warning lights or chimes that preceded the event. After pulling over and putting the vehicle in park, the jeep started normally. The key ring only had the jeep key and the valet key, and I far away from the dashboard.
Driving down the road on rt3 heading west towards west chester pa passing by providence road I was going about 55mph when my jeep shut off and I lost power to the engine (this was very scary). I was able to pull off the road and eventually got my jeep started again. About 6 months later I was stopped at a traffic light and again my jeep shut off. I was able to restart it again a few seconds later. I believe this is an ignition switch problem.

My 2007 jeep commander is stalling and shutting off while in park and while driving regardless of speed. It has been diagnosed at a jeep dealership and they say the fuel pump is bad though are unsure if that will fix the problem.
For a number of years now I intermittently receive a "transmission over temp" message in my dash and the car won't start for about 24 hours later. This usually happens after a good rain. I will drive to somewhere and then park for about 10 minutes. When I try to start the vehicle, it doesn't start until about 24 hours later. I replaced the battery and still have the same issue. Auto shops were not able to fix this issue and no one seems to have a clue how to fix this. Right now the vehicle is unreliable as if I go somewhere there is a risk that I will be stranded.

The jeep will not start and left us stranded 30 miles from home. I had to leave it overnight. All of the lights on the ic light up and it makes a clicking sound but won't turn over. Initially I thought it was a bad starter but after researching it that night I realized it could be a number of things that others are experiencing with their commanders. I was able to get it home the next day by quickly turning the key from the "off" position to "start" rapidly. It started after 15-20 tries of this movement. Now that it is home, I was able to start it once each day since the initial issue. But now, I am unable to get it started again. Could be the wcm, starter harness, sentry key module, etc. Regardless, it is a widespread issue amongst jeep commander owners and something I think jeep needs to be made aware of. I understand this isn't specifically a safety issue but it could be if my wife and 11 month old are left stranded somewhere because the jeep decides it doesn't want to start.

1st time: lost all power while in motion at slow rate of speed after my knee slightly bumped the key ring hanging under the ignition (knee did not touch actual car key). 2nd time: lost all power while traveling at 80mph (speed limit in utah) on interstate 15 in passing lane after knee slightly grazed the lower part of the key chains (knee did not touch actual key). Was able to restart engine quickly in both cases and was lucky enough to be on straight section of roadway at the time.
