2007 Jeep Commander Driver assistance Problems

Unknown. While my vehicle is set on cruise control and the weather is over 50 degrees or the air is running my cruise control will shut off. Warning lights abs, esp bas, & stability control will come on, then my cruise control won’t work anymore. Now just this morning going up a hill my car wouldn’t go pass 20 mph while my foot was to the floor basically. Then almost to the top of the hill it took off. The rmps went high Jeep shifted to next gear. Of course took my foot off petal and pushed brakes slightly. As slowing down it started shifting hard with high rmps still. I have done a new tune up and new transmission within the last 6 months. Before the new transmutation it was still doing this. The reason to replace the transmission was my Jeep just stopped completely moving. I don’t have the money to keep taking my Jeep back to the dealership for them to keep telling me they don’t know the problem. If nothing gets done about this sadly I will have to get rid of it. The cruise accrues when I’m on the highway going 60 to 65 mps. The shifting problem happen in town. Which both issues could cause a serious car wreck and harm to others and my self.

WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT IN THE FAST LANE ON THE HIGHWAY AT AROUND 65 MPH, MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF WITH NO WARNING AND I NOTICED THAT ALL DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS A FAST-LANE SHOULDER THAT I WAS ABLE TO STEER IT ON, OR I MIGHT HAVE BEEN KILLED BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. VEHICLE WOULD NOT RE-START SO I DISCONNECTED THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE, WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND RE-CONNECTED IT AND THEN THE VEHICLE RE-STARTED BUT RAN VERY ROUGH. I PROCEEDED ALONG THE SHOULDER TO TRY AND GET OFF THE HIGHWAY, BUT THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN AGAIN. I REPEATED THE SAME PROCESS AND IT AGAIN RE-STARTED AND I MANAGED TO DRIVE HOME ON BACK ROADS AT 40 MPH. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON AT LEAST THREE OTHER OCCASIONS, BUT THE INCIDENTS OCCURRED MANY MONTHS APART, WHICH MADE ME THINK IT WAS A ONE-OFF SITUATION. I HAVE SINCE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET AND HAVE LEARNED THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO THEM. I THINK THIS IS A TRAGEDY IN THE MAKING IF CHRYSLER DOES NOT ADDRESS THIS DEFICIENCY BY ISSUING AN IMMEDIATE RECALL. I ALSO REQUEST THAT A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP INSPECT MY VEHICLE AT NO COST TO ME. YOUR PROMPT RESPONSE TO THIS URGENT MATTER WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

WHEN TRYING TO CRANK THE CAR THE IGNITION IS VERY SLOW AND THE LIGHTS DIM. IT IS TRYING TO TURNOVER BUT CANNOT. AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS IT STARTS SMELLING LIKE SOMETHING ELECTRICAL IS GOING ON. WE ATTEMPTED TO JUMP IT OFF BUT IT PERFORMS THE SAME EVEN WHEN ATTACHED TO JUMPER CABLES. SO IT IS NOT THE BATTERY WHICH WAS CHANGED 2 YEARS AGO AND THE STARTER WAS REPLACED 2 YEARS AGO AS WELL. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR A WHILE PERIODICALLY BUT IT ALWAYS EVENTUALLY STARTED AND NEVER SMELLED LIKE SOMETHING ELECTRICAL WAS BURNING. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A PARKING SPOT IN LEXINGTON FOR ONLY A FEW MINUTES TO RUN INTO THE RETRIEVE SOME DOCUMENTS AND WHEN RETURNING IT JUST WOULD NOT START. ONCE I GOT HOME I STARTED LOOKING UP COMMON ISSUES WITH ELECTRICAL AND NOTICED THAT THERE HAD BEEN SEVERAL RECALLS THAT MIGHT APPLY TO MY ISSUE. I PLAN TO CALL OUR LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER AS SOON AS THEY OPEN AND SEE IF THEY CAN CONFIRM AND PICK IT UP FOR REPAIRS THAT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY.

2007 JEEP COMMANDER WITH 112,000 EST MILES, BOUGHT USED IN AK 2016. A WEEK AFTER I BOUGHT IT I KEPT HAVING O2 SENSOR CODES POP UP. I HAVE HAD ALL SENSORS REPLACED MORE THAN ONCE AND NUMEROUS OTHER PARTS WITH THE LATEST BEING THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. I HAVE SPENT SEVERAL THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TRYING TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE. TODAY WAS MY BREAKING POINT, I WAS DRIVING ON I-24 TO NASHVILLE TO TAKE MY SON TO AN APPOINTMENT AT VANDERBILT. IT WAS RAINING THIS MORNING, ALL OF A SUDDEN THE RED LIGHTING BOLT AND OTHER LIGHTS CAME ON. MY JEEP LOST POWER, THE BRAKES DIDN'T WORK, THE STEERING LOCKED UP AND I WAS SCARED I WAS GOING TO GET HIT. I PUT MY HAZARDS ON AND WAS ABLE TO GET ACROSS 2 LANES OF TRAFFIC TO THE SHOULDER. I SHUT THE JEEP OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT WAS NORMAL AGAIN WITH JUST THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. I WAS SO SCARED TO DRIVE BACK TO CLARKSVILLE, FEARING THAT IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. I SAW THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS HAD THIS ISSUE. I CALLED CORPORATE AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING REALLY THEY CAN DO. I SAID WHAT IS IT GOING TAKE, SOMEONE, DYING OR GETTING INTO A WRECK?? I AM DISAPPOINTED IN HOW THIS HAS BEEN HANDLED. MY LATEST CARFAX SHOWS THAT THIS JEEP HAS HAD THE SAME ISSUES OVER AND OVER, WITH NOTHING REALLY GETTING RESOLVED.

FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS NOW I INTERMITTENTLY RECEIVE A "TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP" MESSAGE IN MY DASH AND THE CAR WON'T START FOR ABOUT 24 HOURS LATER. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS AFTER A GOOD RAIN. I WILL DRIVE TO SOMEWHERE AND THEN PARK FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES. WHEN I TRY TO START THE VEHICLE, IT DOESN'T START UNTIL ABOUT 24 HOURS LATER. I REPLACED THE BATTERY AND STILL HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. AUTO SHOPS WERE NOT ABLE TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND NO ONE SEEMS TO HAVE A CLUE HOW TO FIX THIS. RIGHT NOW THE VEHICLE IS UNRELIABLE AS IF I GO SOMEWHERE THERE IS A RISK THAT I WILL BE STRANDED.

MY SITUATION BEGAN ON JUL 10, 14 WHEN MY VEHICLE BEGAN STALLING WHILE DRIVING. SINCE THAT TIME, THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN STALLING AND QUITTING ON THE HIGHWAY/CITY STREETS AND SPUTTERING ALONG EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT. THIS VEHICLE STOP RUNNING ON ME WHILE DRIVING 65 TO 70 MPH AND I HAVE TO PULL OVER TO RESTART IT. THIS IS AT A STANDSTILL AND CANNOT BE RESTARTED WHILE COASTING. ANOTHER TIME I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT AND THE MOTOR DIED WHEN I APPLIED THE GAS PEDAL. EVEN WHILE TURNING ONTO A MAJOR HIGHWAY HAS GIVEN ME SCARY MOMENTS. EVEN WHILE AT A STAND STILL, THE ENGINE HAS DIED ON ME. THESE INCIDENTS THAT I HAVE DESCRIBED HAVE HAPPENED TO ME AND MY WIFE MORE THAN ONCE FOR EACH SITUATION THAT I MENTIONED HERE. TO THE BEST OF MY JUDGEMENT, MY SITUATION IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. THE SITUATION HERE IS THAT THE ENGINE SPUTTERS/STALLS AND QUITS ON ME WHILE DRIVING. THE CAUSE TO ME IS UNKNOWN SINCE I AM NOT A MECHANIC. AS STATED, THIS STARTED JUL 2014 AND HAS BEEN ONGOING TO DATE.

IT IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENS TO US WHEN ON A HIGHWAY. THE FIRST TIME MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING AND WE HAVE OUR CHILD WITH US. WE THOUGHT IT WAS A PART OF THE LATEST RECALL WE RECEIVED IN THE MAIL REGARDING THE KEY IGNITION. THIS TIME I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, GOING ABOUT 60-65 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, I STARTING LOSING POWER, TACHOMETER STARTING GOING DOWN AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS COMPLETELY UNRESPONSIVE AND SIGNIFICANTLY HARD TO PUSH DOWN ON IT, THE SPEED CONTINUED TO GO DOWN AS I WAS TRYING TO GET TO THE SHOULDER AS FAST AS I COULD BUT WITH AN UNRESPONSIVE ENGINE IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT. IT WAS ALSO DIFFICULT TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL AS THIS GOT HARDEN. I MANAGED TO PULL OVER ON THE SHOULDER AND HAD TO TURN THE ENGINE OFF. AFTER WAITING 10-15 MINUTES, I TURNED THE ENGINE BACK ON AND WAS ABLE TO GET TO MY DESTINATION WHICH WAS NOT FAR FROM WHERE I HAD TO PULL OVER. THE ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON AND I'M AFRAID THIS WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN NEXT TIME I DRIVE MY VEHICLE WHICH IS EVERY DAY. THIS WAS NOT A PLEASANT EXPERIENCE AT ALL AND IT IS VERY FRIGHTENING WHEN YOU ARE ON A HIGHWAY AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN HAVE NO CONTROL OF YOUR VEHICLE, IT IS DEFINITELY NOT SAFE AT ALL. THIS JEEP HAS GONE THROUGH ALL THE RECALLS THAT I HAVE GOTTEN IN THE MAIL.

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). *TR

I AM 74 YEARS OF AGE AND AT THE TIME OF MY HUSBAND'S DEATH FOUR YEARS AGO PURCHASED A 2007 CHRYSLER JEEP COMMANDER WHICH NOW HAS 53,815 MILES. I BEGAN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH UNEXPECTED COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER ON BOTH INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS AND RESIDENTIAL STREETS OVER THE LAST YEAR. THESE OCCURRENCES HAVE INCREASED IN FREQUENCY AT VARYING TIMES WHEN DRIVING WITHIN THE LAST SIX MONTHS, AND MOST TERRIFYING ON THE INTERSTATE WHERE I WAS FACED WITH THE REALIZATION OF DECELERATION AND CUTOFF AT THE SPEED LIMIT OF 55 MPH. I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE (P41/NHTSA14V-38), ROUND OR ABOUT APRIL 2, 2015 FROM CHRYSLER GROUP LLC INFORMING ME OF THE VEHICULAR PROBLEMS DESCRIBED I AM EXPERIENCING, CHRYSLER GROUP'S RECALL NOTICE MAKES A CLEAR AND SPECIFIC REPRESENTATION THAT REPAIRS WOULD PERFORMED TO CORRECT THE VEHICLE'S DEFECTS FREE OF CHARGE WHEN IT IS RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP. ACCORDINGLY, SOUTHFIELD CHRYSLER WAS CONTACTED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND ORDERED PARTS ON OR ABOUT APRIL 6, 2015. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THE PART(S) FOR NEARLY THREE WEEKS. ON APRIL 24, 2015 I AGAIN CONTACTED SOUTHFIELD CHRYSLER AFTER THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO ACCELERATE AND WAS INFORMED THE MANUFACTURER: "CHRYSLER EITHER WILL NOT, OR HAS NOT, SENT THE PARTS NEED TO FIX THE PROBLEM," CONTRARY TO THE LANGUAGE OF THE NOTICE. SOUTHFIELD CHRYSLER WILL NOT PERFORM REPAIRS WITHOUT PAYMENT FOR THE PARTS. SOUTHFIELD CHRYSLER HAS TAKEN THE POSITION: "IF I PAY FOR REPAIRS THE MANUFACTURER WILL REIMBURSE ME," WHICH CONTINUES TO LEAVE ME SUBJECTED TO INJURE AND/OR DEATH. I DO NOT HAVE THE AVAILABLE FUNDS TO PAY FOR REPAIRS, RELATIVE TO LIVING ON A FIXED INCOME AND SPECIFIC AND VERY LIMITED BUDGET. IT IS CLEAR TO ME THAT THE MANUFACTURE AND DEALERSHIP WILL NOT PERFORM RESPONSIBLY TO ADDRESS A SERIOUS LIFE AND DEATH THAT THEY ARE CLEARLY AWARE EXIST. A COMPLAINT IS PROPER. *TR

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.

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. *TR
