My boyfriend and I were driving home from dinner and about half way home the car suddenly stopped accelerating and the speed dropped from 70 MPH to 40 and kept slowing down. We had to pull over and turn the car off and then back on. The car has done this several times since and a light comes on that says "service park assist". I have read up on this year, make and model and have found that this is a very common issue that has not been dealt with! This is also a very dangerous issue. I also found that it has nothing to do with the "park assist" but rather the transmission in the truck and that many have failed well before 50,000 miles but shortly after jeep's 35,000 mile warranty. Jeep did not cover my car because I bought it used which terminated the warranty because I was not the original owner. I am very disappointed - this is my first jeep - and I have wanted a jeep for years. The car still decelerates at times - I can be in traffic or pulling off from a stop or turning a corner and all of a sudden it is not shifting or accelerating. I can't afford a new car right now but am concerned about my family's safety. Please read up on the many articles and comments from people about this problem and save lives!!! With so many complaints and close-call accidents I would think that since it is 2011 something would have been done by now!
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.

I own a 2007 jeep commander and in the last 2 months, it has suddenly stalled twice while we are driving on the highway, driving 65-70 MPH. We have almost gotten in an accident twice now, since the car completely shuts down in the middle of a highway...and we have to coast over to the breakdown lane, across several lanes of traffic, with our hazards on. I can find thousands of people with this same problem online...but there is no recall on it for some reason?? I cant drive my 6 month old around in a car that is this unsafe! Please help!

Loss of power on freeway. I have a 2007 jeep commander 4.7l v6. Twice while on the freeway the "service backup assist" light comes on, then all the tranny indicators light up, and vehicle loses all power.

When I bought my 2007 jeep commander 2 years ago, a problem occurred 2 months after buying the car, where it would slow down when I was driving at a fast speed. This only occurred once, so I let it slide; however, this recently started becoming a frequent problem. There are even multiple times when the engine just completely shuts off in the middle of the highway. This is very dangerous for me and my kids' safety. There was even a time when a car almost crashed into me because the stop was so sudden. The problem ranges from my car just slowing down automatically to completely shutting off. The engine also starts shaking which ends up shaking my entire car. I do not understand why this is happening, but I do know that it is not safe. I took my car to the dealership I purchased the car from 1 year ago, but they only told me that I should not worry. I then recently returned to the dealership again when I noticed the problem was becoming gradually worse, and they wanted to charge me 1000 dollars for damages that they were not even sure about. I did not find this to be just because I was not going to pay that amount of money for something that is not my fault. I researched online that the feds are actually involved with engine stall problems for jeep commanders because more than 135,000 people have the same complaint as I do. This is very dangerous and something needs to be done. So far, I have not received any significant help.

The failure mileage was 56,000
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 jeep commander. While driving the vehicle intermittently stalls without any prior warnings. Usually after several attempts he was able to restart the vehicle to resume normal vehicle operation. The vehicle was in the process of being inspected by the dealer to determine the cause of the failure. The failure mileage was 18,000. The current mileage was 38,800.
I visited a dealership to diagnose why the check engine light was on in my vehicle, as well as to diagnose why it was losing acceleration when approaching highway speed. After about half an hour, I was advised by the service advisor, that, 'they have been seeing a lot of this' and the cause was the gear shifter console which needed to be replaced. She followed this by stating the replacement was not covered under warranty and provided me with the estimated cost. Perplexed, I inquired as to whether the cause was due to wear and tear and could this have been prevented through scheduled maintenance. Ms. Hawkins response was 'no'. Further confused, I inquired as to why would the replacement then be the consumer's responsibility, as it would appear to me to have been a manufacturing malfunction. The rep's response was merely the same, the services are not covered under warranty and if not replaced the vehicle could get locked in the parked position while driving the vehicle. Thus I was forced to comply paying more than $600 in repairs.
My 2007 jeep commander stalled without warning while stopped at a traffic light in rush hour traffic. I pushed the brake and within seconds, the car stopped operating. Pushing the accelerator did nothing. I turned the car off, turned it back on, and was able to continue driving.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 jeep commander. The vehicle began shaking and stalled when engaging the brake pedal. There were no warning lights before the shaking and stalling occurred. On two occasions the dealer diagnosed the failure and the second time they updated the computer. Twenty minutes after leaving the dealer the shaking and rattling recurred and has continued to become progressively worse. The dealer cannot diagnose the failure. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 24,200. Updated 5/14/09 *cn the consumer stated when his foot was on the accelerator, it jammed to the floor. And the engine began to rev, the consumer attempted to apply the brake, but the vehicle continued to rev. Updated 05/14/09.
It happened shortly after purchasing my new 2007 jeep commander, it would give a hesitation while sitting at stop light or while in park like it was about to die, it would also rev up the engine like it was accelerating, we took it in a few months after we bought it, they said they found nothing wrong and did nothing at that time, it continued to do it, but we just put up with it because we figured we'd hear the same thing, (it don't happen every time we drive it, just periodically) so now, it's doing it more intensely, it's as if someone is mashing on the gas pedal while in park and also at stop lights while I have my foot on brakes, once it has jumped forward and I thought I would hit the car ahead of me. I took it in again,they reset the computer, and since, it has done it again a couple days after getting it out. I will call them back, but looking at the complaints online,it shows me something is terrible wrong with jeeps unintentionally accelerating, please help, I don't want to cause a accident or hurt myself or anyone else. I saved receipts from the dealership over this problem,please examine all our complaints, not everyone knows how to submit complaints to this agency, just look online or perhaps check every single dealership, thank you
