A few weeks ago while driving down a country road going around a semi sharp turn the jeep just shut off. Lights, engine, brakes all power shut off. I was able to place the jeep in neutral and start it back up. Everytime since while driving the dash lights flicker as well as the headlights. It stalls at times and sometimes the traction control light comes on and stays on until I turn the car off and back on.

While driving the commander it stalls. The engines shuts off with no warning. Then I have to put it in park and start it again. Sometimes it happens wth the lights, radio and wipers on. And it sounds like it does not want to start. This has happened 5 times. And the dealer does not know what to do.

My 2009 jeep commander stalled and finally cut off while driving. Everything completely shuts down and have to restart the engine immediately. It has happened 4 times now in approximately last four months. This condition has happened twice while my daughter was driving, and twice while my wife was driving. It is at random, and at different speeds of 35mph to 45mph on a city street. So frightening. The vehicle was purchased used in august of 2010 with 38+k miles on it. It has 141000mile now. I have replaced the ignition key a few months age. I have made an appointment to take it to the dealership. Any suggestions on what might cause this to happen? My wife is not driving the jeep anymore. Last incident was on 10/1/2018.

My vehicle shuts-off/ stalls while driving. Within the first 3-5 miles of driving in truck, stalls once per day when I slow to a stop in traffic on the highway. It stalled once on a city street when I put is in reverse. When this happens, the steering wheel loses power. I quickly put it in neutral and restart. This happens almost daily. To date, it has stalled 11-times. I found the an estimated 300,000 chrysler, dodge and jeep vehicles manufactured in 2007 and 2008 were recalled for the same stalling problem that I am experiencing. I am very concerned for my safety and others because I do not know if this is a progressive problem where the engine may stall while in motion.

My jeep commander keeps stalling for no apparent reason. I had electrical issues with my jeep 2009 commander 2 years ago and now I get the oil pressure light warning and then the car stalls for no apparent reason. The jeep dealership doesn't know what is wrong with the car and have had it for 4+ days to try and fix the issue. I am concerned that this could happen at any speed and would put my family (including my 18 month old son) at risk. I hope you pay attention to this complaint and provide a solution for this make and model.

Approximately 3 months after purchasing my jeep commander, it stalled with no warning. All the trucks lights lit up and the power steering would not work. I was able to start it back up and drive. I took it to the dealer and they were unable to help me as they could not recreate the issue. Since then it has happened an additional 2-3 times with the dealership still unable to help me. All times the truck has stalled out and I have been able to restart and drive away. The last time being in september of 2012 while driving on a freeway at approximately 65 MPH.
