On the way home from work one night my engine light came on. We took it to our mechanic the next day and had it checked. We were told it was the knock sensor causing the warning. He had to order the parts to replace the sensors. After they were replaced it was just fine for about three weeks. The check engine came back on again. Took back to our mechanic he said they were bad and replaced them again. The first two were sets from auto parts suppliers but when the second part failed he ordered a set from the jeep dealer. Well they failed. He has been in contact with the jeep dealer trying to figure out what is wrong. According to them they have never had a problem with the knock sensor. I find that hard to believe. My mechanic is at his wits end about it. He contacted the dealer about the cost to have them check them out. They told him just to scan the computer was $94.00 a half hour and to run a complete test would be $100.00 a hour and take maybe two to three hours. I can't believe we have the only jeep commander that has this problem.

I have a 2007 jeep commander with a chronic stalling problem. Within just a couple months of buying this used vehicle, it stalled for the first time on the new york thruway going 70 MPH. Since then, the vehicle chronically and randomly will stall. I have had it stall as much as 7 times in the space of going 12 miles! It will stall on the highway at 70 MPH; or stopped at a stop sign; virtually anywhere anytime! This is extremely dangerous. Recently, I had it stall on the highway; I got it restarted and drove to my exit. At the end of the exit ramp when the light turned green, I proceeded to attempt to cross a busy intersection and it died again!!! I can't trust this vehicle and am afraid to drive it much. We have taken it to the local jeep dealership many times without successfully fixing the problem. Most recently, we left the commander at the dealership for a week and they thought they had it fixed so we picked it up and in just over 1 day it stalled again. I work only 6 miles from home and can't make it home from work without it stalling. We have put thousands ... And thousands of dollars in repairs replacing sensors (including map), exhaust pipe with catalytic converters, ignition system, ... And the list goes on. Looking on the internet, there are many websites and many complaints by other 2007 jeep commander owners for my same stalling problem. The 2006 jeep commander has had recalls for stalling ... And this vehicle (2007 commander) should be recalled and fixed. I cannot stress strongly enough how hazardous this vehicle is. Would you place your life ... Your loved ones lives ... In a vehicle that chronically stalls anytime and anywhere without warning?? Think about it! I am just looking for jeep to fix the problem their design has caused in this vehicle.
Engine light goes on. Feels like car will stall or is shifting gears. Code from mechanic is 507 idle speed, performance, higher then expect.

I was driving my 2007 jeep commander, 5.7l hemi at approximately 25 MPH on interstate 16 at approximately 2200 hours with my two minor children seatbelted in the back. We were approximately 150 miles from home. There was heavy traffic due to a holiday weekend, road construction, and rainy weather. I recognized a problem was occurring because I could not accelerate, and my attention was diverted from driving because I was trying to figure out what was happening. I realized that the engine had cut off without warning. There was no power to anything, and the vehicle was very hard to steer and to stop. I pulled over to the side, placed the vehicle in park, and tried unsuccessfully to restart the engine. I was able to check under the hood and I found that the oil level was in the normal range and the oil appeared clean. The antifreeze in the reservoir was in the normal range and there was no bubbling. The transmission fluid, power steering fluid, and brake fluid were also within normal ranges. After another try, it restarted, then there was a loud metal clanking sound then copious smoke coming from the tailpipe, then the engine light came on flashing. The temperature gauge registered normal. I turned the truck off and started making phone calls with thunderstorms and severe lightning complicating the situation. We arranged for a tow truck to transport us to a nearby hotel, and the next day I towed the jeep back home using a uhaul truck. Mechanics have determined that a piston head is damaged and cracked and the jeep is currently in the shop having a new engine installed. They did not find an obvious cause for the damage to the piston. There are two significant problems: the engine stopped without warning, and the engine failed prematurely. It is unknown if the problems are related to each other.

I have had this issue for over a 1.5 years. I've only had the jeep for 2 years. It has progressively gotten worse. The vehicle jerks and putts, the engine light comes on eventually flashes and the car shuts off. Chrysler jeep has not, to this day, been able to diagnose the problem even with chrysler engineers. They have kept my car for weeks at a time to no resolve. They have tried replacing multiple parts just to see if it works. On a few occasions I have almost been hit due to the vehicle stalling out. I have been told that chrysler corporate will no longer assist me with this case.
I have a 2007 jeep commander I first started having an idling problem in august 2013. I took in to allen samuels they did a tune-up it was fine until march of 2014. The check engine light came back on I took back to allen samuels for idle problem & stalling as well. They did a diagnostic test they first stated fan clutch, had a fan clutch installed. After a week later still stalling took back to allen samuel they then stated wiring harness $1300 & them keeping it a week with no loaner. Soon as my mom left the dealership couldn't even make it home which was 10 miles away the check engine light came back on next day back to dealership by it being a saturday no skill tech in is what I was told. Called chrysler because I saw a recall on stalling engine. Tuesday back to dealership chrysler called allen samuels they stated not the same as the recall. Allen samuel kept my truck several days then stated water in tank. They emptied tank & clean it. I had service manager test drive before leaving its was still stalling was told to change gas fuel, drive a couple of days & bring back. Called chrysler again to complain they advised another dealership. Took it to the dealer they recommend after am extensive diagnostic test for $300 I was told to see the sales manager for a new vehicle. I since have had fuel injectors cleaned, spark plugs changed, boots changed, new battery, new water pump. It is still idling & stalling. I really would love for someone to be able to tell me what is wrong & repair it before someone gets killed.
Driving at 58-60mph car stalled very briefly,a second or so, chimed once and then kept going, after about 1/2hr driving same speed my car did the exact same thing, stalled,we actually lurched forward in our seat, then 40 min later car did it again. 3 times total. I pulled off the highway and shut my car off and then drove without problems.
9/13/14 at 0945, the vehicles engine light came on and vehicle started stalling. Vehicle was taking to firestone and diagnostic service(engine analysis). Mechanic stated that they could not find anything wrong beside the throttle body was dirty. We had the throttle cleaned. 9/13/14 at 1325 while traveling on multi-lane free way. Vehicle stalled and choked smoked. Vehicle was able to start and merge on to an exit and stalled again, several time before we were able to move out the way of traffic. Had vehicle towed to another firestone. At that time another engine analysis was completed. After a few hours we we're inform that cylinder 1, 2, and 4 were lost/failed. Also that it would not have been notice during a normal check-up and that they could not fixed it was a manufacturer issue.
While driving my 2007 jeep commander limited edition 4x4 at various speeds car stalls without warning. All power features including steering wheel lock and check engine light comes on. Forced to maneuver to shoulder if possible (dangerous) put the car in park and then re-start. Same problem has occurred approximately 50 times since 2010. Have sought information from dealer and independent mechanics and attempted to repair at my own expense to no avail. Mechanics have been unable to replicate the problem while on road tests, which is expected since the stalling is unpredictable. The most recent occurrence was 8/5/14 - complete engine stall while driving (approximately 40mpg), steering wheel and all other power features locked in the middle of traffic. Put the car in park then re-started.
I was driving down the highway and check engine light dings and vehicle comes to a stop, I was able to drift off to the side of the road but steering was locked up. Engine completely shut off. After about 5 mins I was able to restart engine and now the check engine light bas and traction control lights are on.

I purchased this used jeep on january 7, 2014. One week later, the jeep stalled in traffic on the highway. Then stalled the next day on a local street while my teenagers were driving to school. Then stalled in traffic the next day while I was turning onto a local street. Then stalled again pulling into the driveway. The car was at the dealership for six weeks. They replaced the ignition switch, coils, computer system, wiring system, throttle. I picked the car up at the end of march, 2014. The car was working fine until this past weekend. It stalled again in traffic while my son was driving with four passengers in the car on april 26, 2014. It stalled again while I was driving the car on sunday april 27, 2014. The car was towed to the dealer on april 28, 2014. This vehicle could have caused a fatality. It is not a safe vehicle for anyone to drive.

I called the dealer (walnut creek chrysler jeep) in 2007 that my engine made a stalling noise when I started the engine, and they said not to worry about it (I purchased the vehicle in may 2007, so only a few months later). I moved the car to ct, and to tx (warranty companies continue to track my address, no word of recalls, they almost stalk me, I have the mailings to prove it, which I would like to opt-out from; only use an e-mail for recalls). For months, and years, I have been complaining that my vehicle has been accelerating usually while stopped at a traffic light, it stalls while driving, the front panel lights flicker even shut off (seems running on auto pilot), the engine self-shuts off for no reason. I even asked dealers if there were any recalls, they said no. I heard that many people had their front panel vehicle lights flicker erratically, also the self-accelerating and self-stalling problems with their vehicles. The thought that my car had been hacked crossed my mind (many studies show that this can happen); I contacted my insurance company, and also the state police agency regarding a drivers license and agency documentation fine print about research. No accidents, but the above problems continue to affect my vehicle (the panel lights "some what" slowed down, but the self-acceleration, self-stalling continue, and self-shut down continue. I have driven my vehicle for approximately 35,000 miles, and purchased it new in may 2007. Is this a safety issue? Note: do not post or distribute my personal information, or upload to a public database. Please keep my personal information private. In addition, I do not want to be pestered with more warranty offers; I have no idea how they obtained my physical address.
Transmission over temp. Car starts no problem. Some smoke from under vehicle
Early 2010 I experienced issues with the engine light, "service park assist' and all my gears lighting up at once, and not being able to accelerate in the middle of 65mph traffic!. After researching the 'symptoms' and talking to several mechanics it was discovered the esm 'was bad' and was replaced. It began at approx 55,000 miles. I went thru quite a process with chrysler over this issue. Long story short, now...amazingly after another 60,000 miles (coincidence???) I need to have it replaced again as all the same things are happening? Jeeps usually last a long time, and this is not an issue with maintaining my vehicle or how I drive...so I will have to potentially replace it again and again? Of course chrysler tells me its not a known problem with the vehicles yet just on this site and looking for the exact complaints I find no less than 45 of the same complaint and at least another 100+ that are probably the same just worded differently. How many complaints does it take to have a company pay for and replace defective parts? Does it take a certain number of fatalities?? I honestly don't understand how it just gets ignored fort years and years. On top of that, the work has to be done at a dealer due to certain tools needed, and its no less than $1000 to replace. How convenient for the company.
My 2007 jeep commander vehicle had problems with idling and stalling, car would cutoff while driving between 35-60 miles and as well during idling. This had been an on going problem since 2010 though 2012 and then some time before. I officially for the record file this complaint understanding that many jeep owners had this same problem many times over although the chrysler corporation never did a recall regarding this problem pertaining to 2006-2008 jeep vehicles which was and is such a disservice to the consumers.
