2007 Jeep Commander transmission complaints
Page 5 of 6: complaints 101 to 130 of 131, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Over the past few weeks while driving the vehicle will flash a warning saying service park assist system. When this happens the gear display on the dash prnd will all 4 get circled and flash and then as you are accelerating you can feel the vehicle lose speed. You can no longer accelerate the vehicle and have to coast off the road. Once you stop and shift to park then back to drive it will reset and then allow you to accelerate. I was going 65 on the freeway when this happened last and this is a major safety issue. For about the past 30,000-40,000 k miles we have had issues with it shifting properly and every time we took it to the dealer they can never re create the issue. Now we are receiving this warning and it actually stops accelerating on its own. It is happening more and more. We took it to the dealer since this warning now came on and they said they have never heard of it, they couldn't re create it, that it has nothing to do with the shifting and to turn off our park assist system so it doesn't happen. We are attempting a different dealer today but first thing they said is they never hear of this either. So comforting!
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 jeep commander. The contact was driving approximately 20 MPH approaching a traffic stop signal. While driving from the complete stop the vehicle suddenly stalled without warning. Upon restarting, the vehicle resumed normally. The identical failure recurred ten months later. In addition, the rear parking assist failed to function. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer who stated the gear shift assist would need to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the problem. The failure mileage was unavailable.
While driving the transmission failed to shift past 2nd gear. The cooling fan proceeded to remain stuck on high. Turned the vehicle off and then back on and it began to run fine. When turned off again it was again stuck in 2nd gear and the cooling fan proceeded to remain stuck on high. Took to dealer and they cannot duplicate the problem though they claim the PCM needs updated again(was just updated 1.5 yrs ago and we paid) and needs a shift control module? We have had this vehicle back to the dealer 6 times since purchased new for transmission problems with reprogramming and not shifting correctly. Why is this vehicle not on the recall list like the 2006 PCM commander issue?
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 jeep commander. While driving at low speeds, the vehicle stalled intermittently. The dealer was unable to diagnose the failure and made attempts to repair the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified and was making an attempt to assist the contact with the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 48,000 and the current mileage was 65,000. Updated 10/18/11*lj the consumer stated the vehicle has stalled over 12 times. It also bucks and will at times accelerate on its own. The vehicle also failed to start on 1st attempt. The vehicle would always re-start after it stalled. The consumer referenced the federal safety agency action # ea07007. Update evoq 11/01/11 updated 3/30/12
While traveling in "drive" the vehicle would not accelerate or decelerate. On the dash board all the gear 123d had lit up squares around them. When I pressed the accelerator to the floor nothing happened. This can cause a crash and possibly kill somebody including my family. I ended up having to pull to the shoulder of the road. Turn the vehicle off and restart it. When I did this everything worked normally. I have heard of problems like this before. I bought this vehicle used from a volkswagen dealer who told me the powertrain warranty was transferable. It is not. The vehicle only has 44000 miles on it and I don't understand why it is so unsafe. Please help.. No work has been done on this vehicle due to lack of funds, a warranty and every time I call a jeep dealer and ask them what it is I get a different answer and I don't believe that they know what they are doing.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 jeep commander. The contact stated that the vehicle would not shift into gear, it suddenly stalled at 70 MPH and the steering wheel locked up. The contact turned the vehicle off completely and restarted it. The failure seemed to correct itself after it was turned back on. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer who stated that the shifter module was defective. The vehicle was being repaired at the contacts expense. The manufacturer was not notified. The current and failure mileage was 50,000.
I purchased this car in march of 07' or at least around that time, in late 07 beginning 08 my car started stalling for no reason I actually thought it was my knee hitting the key (I sit close but not that close) my husband kept thinking it was me as well, after several times of the car stalling we both realized it was the car doing it not my knee and we took straight to the dealer in jan of 09. I advised the dealer all gears light up and the car will loose power or at least feel like it is and have no gas, I must shut the car off and restart before I am able to pull back on to the road. I was advised by world auto group in tinton falls nj this was happening to allot of commanders and the piece that is needed to be replaced is in back order due to this problem, they had my car for about 2 to 3 weeks in jan of 09. Per the invoice cause is 21010336 shiftier mechanism/shift lever housing, automatic transmission - replace console shift (c) 2013wcdne 1 68004143af prndll bez - gear selector fc: part # count (will fax invoice tomorrow) about a yr and half later the same problem is back, all gears light up while driving, recently I was coming home from work and was on the nj turnpike at 5 o'clock (rush hour) all gears lit up and I had to get over as quick as possible before a truck or car hit me from behind since the speed limit is 65 mh. This is not a joke this is a life treating issue.. I called world jeep as well as chrysler headquarters right away advising this is a serious problem and needs to be addressed. The dealer and chrysler can not advise why this life treating issue keeps happening to my car, they just want me to replace the same thing they did 1 1/2 yrs ago..
My 2007 jeep commander refuses to accelerate after the service park assist light comes on and all gear options highlight at the same time. This will happen without warning while driving down the road and or highway. The only way to get the vehicle to begin to accelerate again is to put the vehicle in neutral and apply the accelerator. It will also begin to accelerate while at a stop on its own. I have read many complaints of this exact and similar problems from other jeep commander owners. I have been waiting for a recall for this issue since other jeep commander owners has been charged for replacing transmission modules just to have this happen again. My commander is a 2007 v6 automatic transmission model. Here are a couple links I have found on issues.

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 jeep commander. The contact stated that the vehicle lunged forward while the brakes were applied. The vehicle could potentially lunge forward and crash into another vehicle. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer who stated that the vehicle needed basic routine maintenance. The dealer performed a tune-up and cleaned the fuel system; however, it did not correct the failure. The contact took vehicle the vehicle back to the dealer who stated that the vehicle needed a new gear shift. The gear shift repair part was on back order. The contact stated that this was a known failure that the manufacturer needed to address. The failure mileage was 84,000.
I purchased a 2007 jeep commander in 10/10 while driving it I have noticed it hesitates at times. While driving the car today 02/09/11 it would not accelerate above 40 while I was on an on ramp. Lucky there was little traffic and I was able to pull over safely. I am taking it to the dealer tomorrow. I do not have warranty on it as I had bought it used. This need to be recalled and repaired by the dear. They know about this problem but they aren't doing any thing to fix it. Foul!!!
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!
My 8 month pregnant wife was driving home from work and the prnd light all lit up at the same time. The dashboard read "service park assist brake" and the car quit accelerating and the lights turned off. Luckily nobody was driving behind her and she was able to restart the car. If this happens while turning onto the road you could easily be hit from the side or from behind. We had a couple other incidents of loss of acceleration, but both times the car started accelerating again after 5 or 10 seconds. In every instance the prnd on the dashboard light up at the same time.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 jeep commander. While driving approximately 40 MPH the vehicle stalled. The vehicle would not restart and it was towed to an authorized dealer where she was informed that there was a computer failure. The vehicle was repaired. The failure recurred intermittently while driving and stopping. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer to be repaired. She also stated that when the vehicle stopped it would intermittently perform as if it were running out of fuel. The manufacturer was notified and she was informed that the vehicle was not included in the recall associated with the federal safety agency campaign id number 08v203000, power train:automatic transmission:control module (TCM, PCM). The failure mileage was 33,000 and the current mileage was 54,000.
Engine light comes on and engine stalls/stops; engine dies when auto remote started dealer states the PCM need a software update which is not covered under the dealer or extended warranty I am in fear for the safety of my family because this stalling has occurred more than once why can't manufacturers be held accountable for their defects as it appears they know about it but won't extend it to the 5.7l hemi models such as mine.
After ignition the "service park assist system" warning comes up in the control panel, then the rest of the warning lights turn on, then after driving noticed that the speedometer was not working, then the vehicle would stall while driving, the accelerator does not respond, I was able to park on the side of the street, luckily it was not a heavy traffic street.
2007 jeep commander, started with "service park assist" light coming on along with the check engine light. Took it in for service, they could not determine the problem so they reset the system. Two days later the same thing began to happen again, along with the lights around the p n r d on the display coming on all together, the car also then began to not want to accelerate after a certain point. Almost acting like it was not wanting to shift to the next gear. This happened for 8 months, still no service was done because they were unable to recreate the problem. It began to occur while driving and coming to a stop and starting to go forward again. Causing problems crossing intersections or traffic. Have now been told to replace the transmission control module, which we did. This did not fix the issue. In the last week were told to replace the electronic shift module.
2007 jeep commander v8 with hemi the vehicle stalls for no reason. I could be driving 45mph then for no reason all power to the vehicle fails. This has occurred 5 times in 1 week. I looked up recalls and see that the 2006 commander had a similar problem that prompted a recall of the powertrain control module (PCM). I contacted the dealerships and was told that my 2007 is not covered under the same recall, though the problem is the same. I believe that the PCM software needs to be reprogrammed. This failure may allow the engine to continue stalling resulting in a crash without warning.
2/22/10 6:10 am - normal driving conditions 2007 jeep commander 3.7 v6, approx 30-35 MPH, loss of power, no power steering, engine light came on. Stopped vehicle, turned vehicle off, restarted, engine light remained but was drivable. This the 3rd time in a month this has happened. Highest rate of speed with loss of power was 40 MPH. 2/21/10 - 4:30 pm - started vehicle, put vehicle in drive, no power, loud clunk under vehicle, no rpms from gas pedal, all lights within gear position panel all lit at once. Used manual shift into 4th gear, drive light came on, vehicle was now drivable. Called jeeps 1-800 number advised them of problems, was told to contact chrysler dealership for warranty diagnosis. Made an appointment for 2/23/10.
Transmission stalling while driving- according the dealership service this is a problem with the electronic shift module. This has happened several times and is also a noted problem in these vehicles. This same vehicle has already been recalled for similar issue, but only for the bigger engine size. Chrysler has informed me that they will not investigate even though it is the same problem in a different engine size. The vehicle can be traveling at 70 MPH on the interstate and stall without warning. It will not go any further without stopping, turning off the engine and restarting. This happens several times daily. I have tried to get fixed and work with the problem, but after almost being rearended by an 18wheeler on the interstate today, enough is enough. It is for 2007 jeep commander 3.7lt.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 jeep commander which was purchased in may 2008. While driving 70 MPH the vehicle stalled and loss all power on the interior and exterior of the vehicle. The power steering also failed; however, the contact was able to use tremendous force in order to safely maneuver the vehicle off of the highway. The vehicle was restarted within minutes and resumed all power. The vehicle was taken to the closest dealer where the electric shift module was replaced. Although recall the federal safety agency campaign id number 08v203000, component power train automatic transmission, control module, action number ea07007 is related to the failure , his VIN was not included. To date, the electronic shift module was being repaired by the dealer. The repairs were made at the owner's expense. The failure and current mileages were 48,000.

Purchase a used 2007 jeep commander on nov 2007 from dealership. Two years in possession. The jeep commander, gears will all light up and stall at 30 RPM for two in half months frequently. Without the dealership able to establish cause, I had to wait for the engine light to come on. On december 11. 2009, during the last two days, simultaneous the gears will light up while, the speedometer became irregular causing me to restart the jeep consistently to reset it. Finally, the dashboard engine lights up and I turn it in to the dealership on december 12, 2009 the next morning. According, to dealership located in hampton, va. The problem is concluded as the shifter, not cover by the 4 star warranty however, after researching your database, I found similar problems with the power train and transmission software module. The jeep is now located at the dealership for repair however, a major problem after 2 years and 40,000 miles in service should not be the cause of ware and tear.
When the cruise control is engaged at highway speeds and the vehicle is traveling down a hill the cruise control will properly downshift to slow the vehicle and keep it at the set speed. If the vehicle is then shifted into neutral, the cruise control will disengage properly and the transmission will go into the neutral gear, but when shifted back into drive the transmission will re-engage and will slow the vehicle extremely abruptly as if someone slammed on the brakes with full force and will nearly lock-up the rear wheels on dry pavement. This will occur even if the cruise control is turned off before shifting back into drive. This has happened to me twice because of the placement of the shifter, and it was terrifying because of the speed I was traveling and the abruptness with which the vehicle slowed. If anyone would have been behind me I would have been hit and there is nothing that can be done to make the transmission not do that once the transmission has been shifted into neutral. The vehicle would become completely out of control if driving on anything but totally dry pavement.
I have a 2007 jeep commander. It has been stalling (but not cutting off completely) for sometime. Wednesday, january 28 2009 it began to stall and cut off. It would also rev up to about 3000 rpms while sitting still. While at a stop light on the same day it did the same and lunged forward at the same time (with my foot on the break). Luckily there was no one coming through the intersection. It has been at a certified jeep dealership twice in the last week, this time for three days - so far! I am being told that they are unable to find anything wrong. A vehicle cutting off in traffic and going forward on its own seems to me to be a serious safety problem.
I own a 2007 jeep commander at about 10,000 miles it started to stall and turn off. Dealer did not replace any parts only flushed the on board computer and updated the software. Months later it started to do the same thing. Dealer did not find anything wrong and performed the same task of flushing the computer and updating its software. Two years and 23,000 miles and the car is having the same problem. I have an extended warranty so I'm going back to the dealer, but I don't think they we fix the problem . Tr
Transmission not shifting, when @ a complete stop position, car lunges forward without any acceleration pedal pressure, while driving all "prndl " lights came on then car would not go over 30 MPH even though I am stepping on acceleration pedal, when putting car in drive and stepping on acceleration pedal, engine revs but will not go, check engine light turns on, car completely shuts off while driving. Shuts off while driving @ 65 MPH. Engine stalling and cutting off failure and has occurred @ least 5 times. The consequences have been that I could have been in 2 car accidents with 3 year old son in car. I also have spend time off from work due to damages and spent out of pocket expenses on rental cars. I now have a fear of driving. Due to the car lunging I have almost rear ended 10 cars, on 10 different occasions. I have taken car to the dealer several times for repairs with no success. They have updated software, performed PCM reflash, rec throttle body and injector service, replaced esm module, replaced socket.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 jeep commander. While driving at various speeds, the vehicle loses power and shuts off. When she restarts the vehicle, it runs sluggish and with less power. She is unable to accelerate over 30 MPH. The contact called the dealer and they advised her to bring in the vehicle to the service department. The dealer could not duplicate the failure on two separate occasions. The federal safety agency campaign id number 08v203000 (power train:automatic transmission:control module (TCM, PCM)) was found for the 2006 commanders. The mileages were unavailable. Updated 10/03/08 *bf the dealer updated the PCM. Updated 10/06/08.
Firstly, the event that brought this letter about took place on 03/28/2008 at 7:30 pm. The jeep commander I own smashed into my house. We began bbq-ing about 6:00 pm. While the food was cooking we sat in my jeep with the doors open and engine off. (the porch was wet) after the food was done, I took it inside and my 6 year old son dylan stayed outside to play for a few more minutes. Dylan was in the front seat pretending to drive. The keys to the vehicle were inside the house and we live on a secluded piece of land in the country, so I saw no harm in this. However, a few minutes later when I heard a crash and felt my house move, I had second thoughts! At first I didn't actually realize what had happened; I was searching the house for what could have caused such a racket. Then my son came in the house hysterically crying. All he could manage was, 'the car, the car'. At first I thought he meant a toy car and then as I rushed outside to find the cause of his hysteria I discovered my jeep had crashed into my house. As I was stunned and staring at the unbelievable site before me, my son was still panic-stricken and sobbing. I thought at first that he had taken my keys and started the car, but the car wasn't running and I found my keys neatly on their hook, as always. Dylan couldn't make any functional sentences to explain what happened so I began to investigate. I found the gearshift in reverse, but there were no keys in the car. Since I had retrieved my keys, I backed the car up to its usual position to check out the damage. I continued my investigation and found that even with no key in the ignition and no foot on the brake, the gearshift would easily shift from park to any other gear. So due to this malfunction, dylan's innocent pretend 'driving' became real and resulted in a real accident that could have seriously injured him or one of my other children and did real damage the vehicle as well as my house.
On two separate occasions (first time was shortly after I purchased the vehicle and the second was within the last week or two), my jeep commander has stalled while coming to a stop with light braking (engine shuts off while vehicle is moving). I have also noticed that from time to time while sitting at a stoplight (in drive with brakes applied) the engine seems to hesitate and almost shuts off. Also, at various times, there has been noticeable hesitation when attempting to accelerate from a standstill or rolling stop (5-10mph). Problems seem to be related. I use only "name brand" 89 octane fuel (mfg. Recommendation).
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 jeep commander. While driving between 50-60 MPH, the transmission failed and the vehicle shut off. The vehicle was able to be restarted five minutes later. The contact has taken the vehicle to the dealer on three occasions. The dealer stated that the cause of failure was due to the key in the ignition, the transmission, and the converter needed to be changed. The current mileage was 13,200 and failure mileage was 9,000. Updated 03/04/08.*lj transmission fluid was leaking from the valve body connector area.
