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 excellerate 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 warrenty 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!!!.
We have a 2007 Jeep/commander sport thats really somewhat a proble since we bought it (used) and its been a problem since getting it. It has a serious problem with lurching forward while in park/drive and while you're pressing the brakes at a stop. It did it at the dealership as well they did nothing about it. We've replaced inner parts to the transmission that Chrysler refused to cover under the warranty. We've had some type of module replaced a couple of times because the truck started running rough( Chrysler covered that) each time it happened. Theres so much we caan complain about this truck and Chrysler doesnt wnat to cover non of the major things. There's definitely /always has been an engine problem.
I have a 2007 Jeep Commander. Not the limited edition. In the 4 months that I have owned it, it has stalled while driving 3 times resulting in a new esm, suddenly lunged forward, on its own, while stopped in traffic, and now stranded our family twice with not starting. The first two problems are a safety issue and should be looked into and recalled immediately. Stalling while driving is beyond dangerous! with the suddenly accelerating on its own while I was stopped in traffic, had I not had my foot firmly on the brake, someone could have been hurt. My autistic son was in the car with me on that occasion and on the stalling occasions, all 4 of my kids were in the vehicle. I have lost all confidence in mopar products and Jeep needs to recall these hunks of junk before someone, or an entire family, gets hurt or killed. Please make Jeep fix these problems immediately to avoid disaster like Toyota has faced.
Engine stall at random times, weather conditions and driving speeds the engine stops accelerating but does not turn off. Its as if the car is in neutral gear when it is in drive. The lights around the led gear display flash in unison after 4 15 seconds the car accelerates again. The engine light will turn on for a day or a minute and then shut off. The issue has occurred on several occasions over the last year the latest is listed below. The Jeep dealer cannot find any problem.

The contact owns a 2007 Jeep Commander. The contact stated while attempting to pass another vehicle at approximately 70mph, the vehicle made an abnormal clunk noise and the vehicle would no longer accelerate. The contact coasted to emergency lane and shut off the engine. When restarting, the vehicle resumed normal operation. The parking assist warning then illuminated on the warning panel. The dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. One week later while accelerating from a complete stop, the failure recurred. The manufacturer advised there were no recalls and would not provide any assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. There was a previous investigation for the failure however; a recall did not originate from the investigation. The failure mileage was approximately 38,000 and the current mileage was approximately 38,200. The VIN was unavailable.
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.

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.
2007 Jeep Commander, 92,000 miles, stalls while driving without any warning. I was able to guide vehicle to side of the road and re-start the engine. This stalling problem has occurred on about ten occasions now, once with my kids on board, a scary situation to say the least. Sometimes before the problem starts the park assist will turn itself off and then the check engine light will come on. We have tried several times to get an error code from the computer system by turning the key 3 times in a row but it never returns a code. Sometimes the check engine light will stay on for a couple of days but eventually goes out and the Jeep will run fine until it happens again. The last time this occurred the ability to shift the gears from 1 to 4 was inoperable and when you pressed the gear shift right or left it remained in drive. I have called several dealerships and have been advised that they haven't heard anything of this problem and they want me to pay to have a diagnostic ran but can't confirm what the problem is.
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 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.

Engine failure/stall/loss of power on 2007 Jeep Commander. Has happened about 6 times now. Sometimes at low speeds. . . Sometimes on the freeway. Started happening around 15,000 miles. Dealer tried to replicate it. They said they could not. So they have done nothing to fix it. I have told them about it 3 times. Now it has happened again at 39,000 miles and on the freeway. I lost control and it became an extremely dangerous situation as I tried to coast over to the emergency shoulder. Temporary brake power lost and no response to the attempts to start it in neutral. Please help! started in 2007 and continues to happen in 2009. I have not been notified of any recalls or tsbs. I own the vehicle.
I purchased a 2007 Jeep Commander in October of 2006. At about 2,000 miles, I experienced an electrical failure that caused many gauges to come on or go off. I did lose my headlights & the transmission downshifted. I pulled over, powered off the vehicle & restarted. The vehicle has done this same or similar problem 4 times now. I've filed the lemon law in indiana, but it was denied. The last time I experienced the electrical fault, my seat starting moving forward for a few seconds while I was driving the car. The vehicle has registered fault codes every time that I saved. Each time, the dealer can not duplicate & performs computer flash updates in hopes of correcting problem. In my opinion, the vehicle is dangerous to operate.
