Takata recall I was driving along as normal on the city street with minimal and my vehicle cut off on its own. It will not turn over or even try to turn over.
2007 Jeep Commander transmission complaints
Page 2 of 6: complaints 11 to 40 of 131, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Our 2007 jeep commander has had a recurring issue for over a year while in operation whether in motion or stationary, vehicle will shut off randomly. When you attempt to restart the vehicle, it starts right back up again. The random vehicle shutdowns take place in all driving conditions and regardless of uphill or downhill driving. Brought the jeep commander to the jeep dealership and they replaced the ignition switch as part of a recall. This did not resolve the problem at all and the dealership was unable to figure out causes for random stalling even when the commander failed during testing with technicians. I replaced virtually every sensor I could imagine including, throttle position sensor and idle air control sensor, egr, map sensor, air intake sensor and the PCM. No luck, we have the same random stalling and the procedure is, restart the vehicle in neutral for recovery while in motion. The restart does not fail, but the random stalling continues sometimes five or six times on a 100 mile trip. This is dangerous and can get someone or their family killed.
Like countless other owners of this vehicle form years 2006-2007, the "transmission over temperature" light has been going on and off for years. I've spend over $1500 on repair for all things surrounding the transmission, only for the light to continue to come on. Some people have even noted that they were stranded for hours due to this - it's obviously not just one person's experience with the car, and a quick glance online will show the depths of issues people are having with the transmission and the light on this vehicle.
The u-joints are worn and there is no replacement joints. It is a dealer item and need to get a new drive shaft for the front and rear on a 4x4 jeep commander.you notice the vibration on the steering wheel in different speeds due to the bad u-joints.

Vehicle stalls while driving on highway at speeds of 70 MPH. Reporting problem PCM system software programming
This loud clunking noise and vibration on downshifting has been going on for a long time. Happens when the vehicle is slowing down and the transmission is downshifting. A pronounced clunk two times as I slow down. I have taken the jeep to the dealer and various repair facilities and it can't be fixed. The jeep people claim they can't replicate the issue. I feel they are stonewalling me. I have spent a lot of money on this and it's unnerving especially when I have other people in the jeep. "why don't you get it fixed they ask"

Bought the car 5 months ago. I started my car to go to work, everything started on except the car. Took out the key and try to turn it back on, nothing. Later on the day, my husband turn the car on and it came back on. The next day, the car wouldn't start, but again the radio, the lights, windshield wipers are on, except the car.
Right after purchasing this car in 10/2011 the jeep would randomly cut off or lose power, not sure if this an electrical issue. Due to the randomness of the issue, they could not duplicate the problem when I brought in the car. After going back to the dealership the manger at the time wrote/promised that his establishment (reliable auto) would repair/fix the issue if it occurred again (within a year or 12,000 miles). After a years time the issue still continued, but now I cannot bring it in to be fixed w/out being charged. Whenever I pushed down on the pedal to accelerate , the car could not accelerate past 25- 30 MPH! This would occur while I was already in motion, or at a light. Felt like the car was, "stalling" and the service park assist message would appear. I would try to shift the gear but nothing changed, the car still would not accelerate. This happened on multiple occasions. Sometimes the next day the car would drive just fine, other times the problem, "fixed itself" within a few days. Every time I took the car in they had a difficult time duplicating the problem. My check engine light would also illuminate but when checked no codes could be found. Super frustrating and scary to deal w/ this. In july/aug 2013 the problem got worse when I was involved in an automobile accident. Took the commander to chrysler/jeep and they were able to identify an electrical/shiftmodule problem. One of the reps. At jeep told me this been common w/ jeep commanders. Before I had the commander, I owned a 2005 jeep grand cherokee, purchased brand new in 2005. Great car but had some electrical issues, when on, my headlights would randomly start flashing. In my experience, jeeps look good but come w/ too many issues. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
After 6 hours of car resting (overnight) it would not start. The engine will not crank and will give the transmission over temp indication. The battery dcv is 12.30 plenty for an start. Where I live there is no snow nor the outside temp was hot ( the incident happened early morning with a cool outside temp of 76 degree f). After couple attempts it crank and start where the alternator charge the battery maintaining a dcv 14 plus. After one minute of idling I turn it off and try again, where it give the same error. Making the vehicle unreliable on the street.
The vehicle changes gears erratically sometimes downshifting to a low gear causing lurching and a great change of speed then warning lights and "service 4 wheel drive system" prompt appeared.
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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 jeep commander. While driving various speeds, the vehicle would suddenly shut completely off. After restarting the engine, the vehicle would operate as normal. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician diagnosed that the shifter gear module was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure continued.

My service park assist light has been illuminating on and off for years. It will stall out of no where and nothing works. Today I was going up a hill and the same thing happened. I was told by the dealer it is my electronic shift module. They also told me that this is very common, almost all of these jeeps have to have this repaired.
