When driving at various speeds, the engine shuts completely off, causing loss of power steering and brakes. Jeep dealer said no recalls for this problem. Very dangerous condition, I have been almost involved in several accidents because of this. There are other people on the computer who have this same problem.

Tthe 4.7 engine suddenly quits while driving, both at high and low speeds.. I have had to pull into breakdown lanes if any, with no powers steering, and at great risk coasting across lanes to safety. The jeep dealer in my area said therenare no recalls, although many people have had the same experience with the engine quitting. This is an extremely dangerous defect, especially if you cant get over to a safe spot.

Had vehilcle towed to Jeep Dealership 12/26/2022. Need engine replaced at only 73, 000 miles. Chrysler no longer makes this engine and a rebuilt will have to go into this vehicle. No offer or explanation of why this engine blew up with such low mileage. I was left stranded in 5 degree weather for about 45 minutes along interstate trying to get my roadside assistance to help. They couldn't speak understandable english. After 40 minutes of this call I ended up calling State Police for help. I knew I was starting to go into hypothermia. State Police arrived in minutes and put me in their car to warm me up and they called tow co. That co. showed up in 15 minutes. I called Chrysler myself to try to find a new engine but they discontinued this engine in July 2022, early cut off for an engine. No new engines in inventory. No offer of any kind to assist or ask questions about possible injury/causes/or where the vehicle was. No engine should blow with this low mileage. Why did they cut off mfg of this engine so early? No answers. Vehicle is at Hillview Motors, Greensburg, PA 15601(Jeep Dealership) for repair. Jeep Dealership inspected engine and determined it was blown. Only warning was guage went hot then engine blew. Nothing in the past on this vehicle.

Unknown. While my vehicle is set on cruise control and the weather is over 50 degrees or the air is running my cruise control will shut off. Warning lights abs, esp bas, & stability control will come on, then my cruise control won’t work anymore. Now just this morning going up a hill my car wouldn’t go pass 20 mph while my foot was to the floor basically. Then almost to the top of the hill it took off. The rmps went high Jeep shifted to next gear. Of course took my foot off petal and pushed brakes slightly. As slowing down it started shifting hard with high rmps still. I have done a new tune up and new transmission within the last 6 months. Before the new transmutation it was still doing this. The reason to replace the transmission was my Jeep just stopped completely moving. I don’t have the money to keep taking my Jeep back to the dealership for them to keep telling me they don’t know the problem. If nothing gets done about this sadly I will have to get rid of it. The cruise accrues when I’m on the highway going 60 to 65 mps. The shifting problem happen in town. Which both issues could cause a serious car wreck and harm to others and my self.

I have a jeep commander 2007 limited. According to your recall dates my VIN number doesn’t fall within those dates for my car to have the recall. Although my jeep is completely stallling out while driving 69 mph, I mean loss of all electrical inside my jeep. Power steering fails, engine shuts off, I am lucky enough that my brakes still work but who is to say that won’t happen again. So when looking my VIN number up seeing that this is ONE of the recalls, my VIN number ISNT part of the vehicles that was affected by the recall but I’m still encountering the SAME issue as the recall. I’ve taken it to my mechanic he cannot seem to find the problem. I need help I just bought this car! It’s our family car so it’s not only affecting me it’s my entire family. My husband, my two year older and my elderly parents.

Intermittent starting issue. This is my only vehicle, I have 2 kids with special needs and need to get to important appointments. I start my 2007 jeep commander, I get to where I am going, when I go to restart my vehicle it sometimes doesn't want to start. It will crank over just refuses to start. I have had multiple mechanics look at my jeep and no one can figure out reasoning to this intermittent starting issue. I have put so much money and work into my jeep for it to keep doing the same problem. The last mechanic I took it too seen code error in the display window on dash 'transmission over temp' when he had tried to start it. It does not do this every time the will be days it continuously starts every time then there are days that it's intermittent, and days it will not start at all. The mechanic starting lookin on jeep forums about this issue there are tons of reports of the same issue but no solution. My mechanic said jeep is aware of the issue but there is no recalls on this issue. He said he believes it is a programming issue the car thinks the transmission is over temp so it sends signal to the engine that it's too hot and the engine sends signal to the fuel pump that there is a temperature issue do not turn on. When it cranks over it acts as if it isn't getting any fuel at all. I have purchased a new fuel pump and some other parts the issue is happening. I bought the jeep in april of 2020 off of another owner, the issue didn't start with me until january of 2021, the previous owner mentioned anything about this happening to them when I asked them. Can something please be done about this issue so myself and thousands of other 2007 jeep commander owners can get back to enjoying our vehicles???? Thank you for taking your time and reading this complaint.
