general problems of the 2007 Jeep Commander - part 1

This vehicle and others of this same year struggle with intermittent stalling when slowing down or stopping at about 100,000 miles. When this happens, the power steering no longer works and the vehicle will not restart, until placed in neutral and restarted.

Vehicle periodically loses signal from right rear pressure monitor, displaying — in place of thenpressure reading. Evic displays “service tire pressure monitoring system”, tpms indicator light blinks. Took vehicle for service, they replaced the tpms sensors. Issue reoccurred. Returned to servicing dealer, right rear tpms sensor again. Issue reoccurred. Servicing dealer indicates that part number 5026189ah likely needs replacing but part shows out of stock. Contacted Jeep customer care and they confirmed part has been discontinued and no replacement part is available. Tpms system no longer works reliably.

I have a similar if not the same complaint as the one on file here form liverpool, TX on 12/14/21 - I also have a 2007 Jeep Commander and am having issues with the ignition and contact to start the vehicle. The key at time gets stuck in the ignition, is difficult to turn the ignition and rarely turns on on first turn. . . It has a failure of contact. . . And usually requires various attempts to actually ignite and turn engine on. When researching on social media this is a large complaint from owner of vehicles of same make year and model please advise.

Was driving cars engine started shaking was stalling losing power in the middel of the road engine light came on we barely male the car home it was stalling out happend only less than 5 miles from home put code reader on vehicle had 5 codes one was power train and other spark plug ect going out dealer ship they had it towed the tow truck driver couldn't get the 2 front tires to move took him 2 hrs finally he told me he had to remove my drive shaft to tow it the dealer ship cleared the codes told me nothing is wrong with the vehicle and I have to come get it and drive it home 1 hr 30 min from there I am not willing to do that it's unsafe also they sold it to me with broken seat belts and a water leak that flood in entire front of the car so now my car is sitting there and I have no help on this. They refuse to fix anything except the seat belts and won't tow it back to me.

It randomly loses all power and it seems to shift erratically at this time as well. The check engine light dings once then disappears with out storing a any codes to diagnose. It only does it while I'm driving and if it happens while braking it loses the ability to brake. Very dangerous car, bought from dealership, told it had no problems due to not having any check engine lights and didn't do it on the test drive. As is warranty.

I have a Jeep Commander 2007 limited. According to your recall dates my VIN number doesn’t fall within those dates for my car to have the recall. Although my Jeep is completely stallling out while driving 69 mph, I mean loss of all electrical inside my Jeep. Power steering fails, engine shuts off, I am lucky enough that my brakes still work but who is to say that won’t happen again. So when looking my VIN number up seeing that this is one of the recalls, my VIN number isnt part of the vehicles that was affected by the recall but I’m still encountering the same issue as the recall. I’ve taken it to my mechanic he cannot seem to find the problem. I need help I just bought this car! it’s our family car so it’s not only affecting me it’s my entire family. My husband, my two year older and my elderly parents.

While driving my Jeep would just shut off. I would have to restart it and it would shut off again, sometimes at high speeds.

Intermittent starting issue. This is my only vehicle, I have 2 kids with special needs and need to get to important appointments. I start my 2007 Jeep Commander, I get to where I am going, when I go to restart my vehicle it sometimes doesn't want to start. It will crank over just refuses to start. I have had multiple mechanics look at my Jeep and no one can figure out reasoning to this intermittent starting issue. I have put so much money and work into my Jeep for it to keep doing the same problem. The last mechanic I took it too seen code error in the display window on dash �transmission over temp� when he had tried to start it. It does not do this every time the will be days it continuously starts every time then there are days that it's intermittent, and days it will not start at all. The mechanic starting lookin on Jeep forums about this issue there are tons of reports of the same issue but no solution. My mechanic said Jeep is aware of the issue but there is no recalls on this issue. He said he believes it is a programming issue the car thinks the transmission is over temp so it sends signal to the engine that it's too hot and the engine sends signal to the fuel pump that there is a temperature issue do not turn on. When it cranks over it acts as if it isn't getting any fuel at all. I have purchased a new fuel pump and some other parts the issue is happening. I bought the Jeep in April of 2020 off of another owner, the issue didn't start with me until January of 2021, the previous owner mentioned anything about this happening to them when I asked them. Can something please be done about this issue so myself and thousands of other 2007 Jeep Commander owners can get back to enjoying our vehicles???? thank you for taking your time and reading this complaint.

My car will act like it's out of gas/convulsions, dies suddenly, and acts like it's going to die when driving. Check engine light has come on sometimes. I have only had the vehicle around one year and have had it worked on 4 times for the issue. Still isn't fully resolved. It's was the obvious issue from the start so probably an issue before I bought the vehicle. I was referred to the dealership and they quoted me 600 just for the inspection. I just paid 3000 dollars to have it fixed. Still not fixes.

This morning I was driving into work, when my car wasn't getting enough power to move. Each time I would give it gas, it would sputter at me. This has been a constant problem since I bought a year ago. . . I would like to know what the problem is so I can fix it.

When it rains my control panel goes haywire and I've lost function of a brake light. The truck is stuck in 4th gear and sounds like the frame is going to rip out every time it jumps. Losing power controls ie windows and things of that nature. I have 5 children, youngest being 8months. I'm a retired army disabled cavalry scout veteran. I don't care about my personal info. I can't get shit done cause some potato head sold me a lemon. I'm tired of getting treated like shit after the shit I've endured for americans that thrive off getting over on people. I'm done this is bullshit!.

While driving at normal speed(s) 35-50mph all dash lights came on in sequence and then the engine stalled. Luckily this was at 230 am and near a closed business parking lot and I was able to coast off the road way. Within a few seconds of the vehicle motion stopping the lights, radio and all electric died and would not start. This is a serious safety issue and I guess Jeep is waiting for someone to die and have their family sue them. I have seen several complaints on 2006 Commanders doing the same thing. I bought mine 12/24/2018 and I am the third owner. First owner was a leasee and put 22k miles on it. Second owner had the vehicle from 2010 to 12/15/2018 and it had 80,500 miles when I bought it. I have only put less than 1000 miles on it and I am having serious concerns on keeping it. 3. 7v6/auto 4x4 sport.

Power door lock fuse blows due to short in wire where it cought on fire and burnt hole in carpet in the back seat.

While driving at 60 mph on the highway, my Jeep has jolted like it had lost power for a brief moment. The jolt was severe enough that it made my arms ache from it. This worries me as I have read many complaints about complete stalls at high speeds and this could cause a severe accident. My Jeep has 150,000 miles on it. This issue needs to be investigated before there is a fatality.

Air bag came on and doesn't go off, engine light is on constantly even after vehicle is repaired. Vehicle shuts off while you are driving. Seat belts are broken woke stay after being repaired. Windows get stck.

Under heavy rain, the vehicle leaks on the inside to the point of a big puddle in the floor of the driver side while stationary. This has also caused a problem with my cruise control and on-screen nav it now goes on and off displaying the Jeep logo as if the car was just starting up and I am in the middle of driving.

Some sort of water entrance unsure where from had windshield reinstalled and I still get puddles on my driver and passenger feet. Back set belts keep braking was told this is a defect when seats are layed down seat buckles break and need to be replaced which is a safety issue with my children since I have 4 and need these to be functional they have been replaced 3 times and am now told it's a defect.

The driver was able to park on the side of the road before the vehicle seized. The contact waited an hour before restarting the vehicle and driving home. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic multiple times, but they were unable to duplicate the failure the first time. The second time, the dealer diagnosed that an unknown sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but continued to experience the failure.

Instruments lights off and on(battery, check engine, air bags, breaks, etc), transmission overheat information light, vehicle shuts off while driving or won't start or loose power,computer tells mechanics a new module needed, but new module do not fix the problem. Had transmission services, and mechanic check out, but nothing worked.

I was driving down the freeway and the engine down shifted hard and the engine light came on. I pulled over, turned my vehicle off, turned my vehicle back on, and it drove just fine. I went to get the engine light checked and the code that came back was the map sensor. I just replaced the map sensor two months prior.

I turned the vehicle off and on and then it was fine, however, the engine light was still on. There were no codes when I went to a mechanic five minutes after the incident. This is the second time this has happened.

While highway driving, the vehicle shut off at 70mph in middle lane. There were no warning lights or chimes that preceded the event. After pulling over and putting the vehicle in park, the Jeep started normally. The key ring only had the Jeep key and the valet key, and I far away from the dashboard.

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 2007 Jeep Commander is stalling and shutting off while in park and while driving regardless of speed. It has been diagnosed at a Jeep dealership and they say the fuel pump is bad though are unsure if that will fix the problem.
