Automatic Transmission Control Module problems of the 2007 Jeep Commander

The contact owns a 2007 Jeep Commander. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle stalled without warning. The failure recurred while the engine was idling and at after start-up on several occasions. The vehicle was taken to bosak Jeep (3111 w. Lincoln hwy merrillville, in 46410) and an unknown relay switch was replaced however, the failure continued. The mechanic then informed the contact that the crankshaft sensor, camshaft sensor, and power train control module were defective and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 133,700.

Consumer writes in regard to amending/extending 10 year rule which requires automakers to only supply part for 10 years.

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.

The contact owns a 2007 Jeep Commander. While driving 40 mph, the contact heard a clicking sound. The transmission overheated, check gauges, and battery warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence and then to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the pcm was defective and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. After the failures, the vehicle was remedied under NHTSA campaign number: 14v438000 (electrical system:ignition:switch); however, the vehicle would not start. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The contact referenced NHTSA campaign number: 08v203000 (power train), but the VIN was not included. The failure mileage was approximately 111,000.

I have a 2007 Jeep same engine and trans, it is doing same think as the 2006 recall is expressing. All I get from dealer is they can find nothing wrong. I can't get them to help me with anything. If you search the web you will see this is a big issue on the 2007 Jeeps also. I was very close to getting into a crash today. This is the 4th time it has happened.

We have only owned this used Jeep for not even two months, bought from us auto sales oct 18 2013, vehicle began jerking around all over out of the blue could barely drive it almost caused us to get into an accident, had to pull over multiple times, took for service, said it was not transmission or engine, see on internet five recalls, have read many people having issues, today vehicle freezes up while driving twice, decelerates powers down to almost a stall out in traffic while my five kids are in this vehicle with me! very dangerous, read on internet multiple places and people having same issues and Chrysler not fixing problems??? why not do they want to be sued or cause an accident? my vehicle just started doing this now two months after buying it used!!!!! twice in one day freezes up while trying to drive it, powers down wont accelerate, like its stuck in one gear wont go loses power like it will shut off suddenly have to pull over and turn off and restart to get it to stop doing this. . . . Make them fix it before it causes accidents for not just me but everyone else that is having this problem search the internet you will find many are having this same issue!!!!!! do your job! I expect something to be done about this at once! and remedied. . . . Do I take this to the dealer to have it fixed? or back where I bought it????? I am reading that Chrysler is refusing to address the issues and multiple incidents are found all over the internet just search it up under make and model and year of the vehicle! and type in loss of power stalling and it says the remedy is a pcm module or something? I really need this addressed at once and told how to fix this as we just bought this vehicle.

After stopping at traffic lights, stop signs or awaiting traffic to clear in order to make turns, the engine stalls but will re-fire after placing transmission in park or neutral and turning the ignition key. (I just purchased the vehicle and found out from the previous owner that the problem began during the summer of 2012, resulting in the trade-in because two different dealers could not find the problem. Dealers replaced the following: map sensor, cam and crank sensor, egr valve, cleaned throttle body, replaced the pcm, spark plugs, replaced air idle control valve, replaced battery. None of the above have fixed the stalling problem which could get one killed in traffic. ).

2007 Jeep Commander limited 5. 7l hemi stalled again while driving. This time, my daughter was pulling into the driveway when it stalled and she had no control over the brakes or steering because they don't work when the vehicle stalls. She just about drove through the garage door. This is a major safety issue and must be addressed before someone gets hurt or even worse, killed. I took it to the Jeep dealership and they updated the pcm, but as soon as I left it stalled again, so I took it back and they replaced an ignition coil. As soon as I pulled off the highway on my way home, it stalled again. They want to replace all of the ignition coils which will cost about $550, and they claim this may fix the issue. I don't understand how Jeep doesn't know how to fix this issue. There are thousands of Jeep owners that are experiencing the same issue with no fix. That's all we want is a solution to the problem before someone dies.

Vehicle randomly stalls while driving it at various speeds and while parked. This time, I was going 45mph and it completely stalled. The vehicle has to be in park in order to restart it and it was very difficult to start. This is extremely dangerous since the brakes and steering don't work when it stalls. I have also discovered that there was a recall on a handful of 2008 Commanders due to a malfunctioning front control module or transmission control module. This should be taken very seriously because many Jeep owners are afraid to drive them due to the uncertainty of the random stalling.

While driving 65 mph on the interstate, vehicle lost power. Dash display message appeared "service park assist system" and vehicle gear display indicated the p r n d were all illuminated. The engine stayed running but would not respond to the gas pedal, decelerating. Turned on hazard lights and pulled over, placed vehicle in park, shifted to drive, and continued as normal. A short time later, the check engine light came on. The problem is intermittent, and has happened many times since then and in many different driving situations. For example, after pulling into traffic on a highway, the vehicle would not accelerate, causing the traffic behind to nearly slam into us. If acceleration had been available as normal, this would not have been an issue. Another example, the problem happened during heavy rush hour interstate traffic, causing the need to cross several lanes to reach a breakdown lane. It has happened immediately upon starting the vehicle and after the vehicle has been running normally for a long time. It is very unpredictable. The vehicle is dangerous and cannot be trusted to provide power or acceleration when it is needed. Private shop checked the fault codes and replaced the transmission control module which did not fix the problem. Internet research shows this exact problem with these exact symptoms is common and widespread in the 2007 Jeep Commander and appears to indicate a faulty electronic shifter module. Chrysler response to the problem is hit and miss, some dealers acknowledging they have seen this before, others claiming they have never seen it and the problem is isolated and not widespread. There needs to be a safety recall on this dangerous issue before someone is hurt or killed, if they have not already. We used this vehicle to transport our children and now we can't even trust it to safely get us to the shop to have it repaired.

While traveling at 40mph my 2007 Jeep Commander lost power accelerator would no respond the service park assist message came on as did the check engine light and all the gear indicators in the dash lit up. I stopped on the side of the road and after I turned the vehicle off and restarted it was fine for a few more miles and it did it again and again. Took the vehicle to my Jeep dealer and they checked it out and found it was the transmission control module and I just had to pay $1,329. 59 to have it repaired. This is a safety issue and I was lucky I was driving on side streets as in traffic or on the highway it could have caused a serious accident. The same issue happened on the 2006 Commander and Jeep recalled them and there are the same number of complaints about the 2007 why is it that nothing is being done to have them correct this.

12/5/2011- the Jeep Commander lost all power while driving, I could not go faster then 15 mph. I took it to the dealership and they informed me, that the pcm needed to be changed and there was no recall. There was a recall on the 2006 model but none on mine (2007). This is very dangerous because the car will just lose power. I am now affraid to drive this car. I called the Jeep recall center and they were of no help and a waste of time.

The contact owns a 2007 Jeep Commander. While driving approximately 70 mph the vehicle suddenly stalled. The contact merged to the shoulder of the road and was able to restart the vehicle. The contact stated before the vehicle stalled it would briefly hesitate while accelerating. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not repaired. Nhtsa recall campaign id number: 08v203000 (power train:automatic transmission:control module (tcm, pcm)) may be related to the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated the VIN was not included in the recall. The approximate failure mileage was 50000.

I own a 2007 Jeep Commander 4 x 4 3. 7l. After having some issues with, what I thought was the transmission slipping, I checked and added trans. Fluid and had both trans lines replaced due to leaking. Everything seemed to be ok for a couple weeks, until I was driving to work and not only was there a delay when I would try to accelerate, the service parking assist system message appeared a couple times, along with the check engine light. The vehicle would not accelerate over 30 miles per hour and the rpms would run above 2 on the dash. I parked, turned the engine off, hoping it would reset the system, but it still continued to repeat the same things when I turned everything back on again. This went on for about 10 minutes. Then after 10 minutes passed, I was stopped at a llight and when I went to accelerate from the stop, once the light turned, the vehicle felt as if it was going to stall. I started researching the symptoms that I was having and it seems to be reoccuring in many 2007 Jeep Commanders. Most of the complaints that I read about, state that the dealer told them the either the automatic transmission control module or the electronic shift module was faulty. Please look into this issue further. My Jeep is only 4 years old and only has 50k miles on it and for a serious problem like this to be going on with so few miles, this just doesn't seem right.

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 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. .

Service park assist light came on and all power was lost. Code shows a transmission control module it appears to be a common problem on the Jeep Commander. Safety issue when your traveling at 65mph and your power fails.

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.

At intermittent times the vehicle would delay upon pressing the accelerator and not shift properly. It was taken to be serviced after the transmission reverted to "safe mode" while driving. Dealer reset the system. Acceleration and shifting problems continued until "check engine" light illuminated together with the "service parking assist system" message. Were informed by the dealer that the automatic transmission control module was faulty and would need to be replaced. Dealer also informed us that the part had been previously replaced by an authorized Jeep service center prior to us purchasing the vehicle.

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.

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.

My engine light has been coming over the last couple years. In September 1, 2009 took car to dealership because engine light, acceleration slow or stalling,car shaking and transmission clunks into gear. I had 48,286 miles at that time. They did a diagnostic test and codes p0430 & p0420 (catalytic converter efficiency failure. Dealership reprogrammed pcm and stated this cleared the codes. Took car back to dealership 09/18/2009 engine light came back on again. Dealership installed a sopcat converter and 2 oxygen sensor. My engine light comes on again 02/2012 with shaking, riding rough, while driving stalling , accelerating up or down. Dealership replaced pcm, same day getting car back engine light came back on again took back to dealership the following day. Now they state its the catalytic converter. Now my warranty is out. I already paid out for pcm now have to pay for catalytic converter. This should have been replaced back in 09/2009. Both the pcm & catalytic converter was an issue back in 2009 and should have been replaced then. Now I have to pay out all this money. I think its a recall.
