The vehicle also lost power steering and braking functionality and stalled with an audible tone. There were no warning lights illuminated. On another occasion the vehicle lost motive power and was struck by the vehicle in the rear. There was no physical damage to the vehicle and there was no injury sustained. The police were not notified and both vehicles were able to drive away from the scene. On another occasion the vehicle stalled and was towed to the residence; then towed to the local dealer. The vehicle was diagnosed however, the contact was unaware of the results or if the vehicle was repaired. The failure persisted. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

I have had a problem with transmission over temp car will not start have to let sit for 20 to 30 mins.

Tl-the contact owns a the contact stated that while driving at 25 mph, the vehicle jerking, lunging, and seized with the transmission warning light illuminated. The vehicle was towed by a independent towing company to a independent mechanic were it was diagnosed with the ignition switch and gear shifter needed to be replaced. The ignition switch was replaced however, the gear shifter was not. The failure recurred. The contact referenced campaign number:13v175000 (power train, electrical system) as the possible cause of the failure.

The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 65,000. Ck.

Transmission over temp, gear shift control module fail again.

Takata recall I was driving along as normal on the city street with minimal and my vehicle cut off on its own. It will not turn over or even try to turn over.

Driving straight ahead at approximately 70 mph on a turnpike the engine and all power immediately and instantly shut off. Vehicle has approximately 110,300 miles on the odometer. Quite a scary circumstance. As I was pulling off the main freeway to the shoulder, I turned the ignition to start and the engine immediately started, seemed to run fine, and I proceeded on as if nothing had happened. No error or warning lights were on the dash. 5. 7l hemi engine. This could have resulted in a very bad accident.

While driving at slow speeds, the vehicle stalls out, obviously resulting in a loss of power steering & brakes. This has happened 50+/- times over the last 2 years of my ownership. The problem has intensified over the last 2 weeks, but would always re start after shifting into park. Last night (10/8/2017) it happened again. This time while merging onto a highway at 55 mph. The vehicle suddenly lost power as I coasted to the side of the highway. This time it would not start & I had to have the vehicle towed. Through on-line research, this is a common problem on the Jeep Commander (4. 7l) dating back to when the vehicles were new. The fix for the problem varies greatly. Given the timeline for this problem, its obvious this is a problem that daimler Chrysler (now fiat Chrysler USA) is aware of & makes no attempt at a solution.

Like countless other owners of this vehicle form years 2006-2007, the "transmission over temperature" light has been going on and off for years. I've spend over $1500 on repair for all things surrounding the transmission, only for the light to continue to come on. Some people have even noted that they were stranded for hours due to this - it's obviously not just one person's experience with the car, and a quick glance online will show the depths of issues people are having with the transmission and the light on this vehicle.

Jeep complaint case # 31436177. I am having a no crank no start issue with bogus error message that reads transmission over temp. I have taken the vehicle to three different places and no one can identify why the vehicle will not start or find anything wrong with the transmission or wiring. . . . . . . That is causing this issue. The Jeep started having this issue intermittently in February 2017 and now it will not start at all as of April 2017. Electrical mechanic is baffled and can not find any thing wrong with the Jeep even though it does not start at all anymore. Since February 2017 after this issue started I have had the computer updated to fix the problem, I have had the ignition switch replaced to solve this problem, I have had the transmission cooler lines and transmission fluid changed out to fix this problem and still the vehicle will not start intermittently and now will not start at all as of a week and a half ago. I was also told that it might be the key not being recognized by the Jeep and would need to be reprogrammed but this is not the issue either. This is not the first issue I have had with this vehicle either. I also had the wiring harness catch fire inside the driver side door boot shortly after purchasing the vehicle that caused windows, locks. . . . . . . Not to function and have had numerous issues with water pouring in from drains from the sunroof flooding the vehicle and ruining the carpet on both the driver and passenger side of the vehicle also causing a mold smell.

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.

Vehicle had the ignition switch fixed with the prior recall, but I am still having an issue with the engine light which has turned on and the vehicle slows down and seems to go into neutral while driving. This occurs around 20 mph, local roads and luckily not on a highway yet and if I press the accelerator nothing occurs and the traction control light flashes. My truck has not come up under the recall for this issue but I feel that it is related especially after reading all of the complaints, please help.

Bought the car 5 months ago. I started my car to go to work, everything started on except the car. Took out the key and try to turn it back on, nothing. Later on the day, my husband turn the car on and it came back on. The next day, the car wouldn't start, but again the radio, the lights, windshield wipers are on, except the car.

After 6 hours of car resting (overnight) it would not start. The engine will not crank and will give the tranmission over temp indication. The battery dcv is 12. 30 plently for an start. Whre I live there is no snow nor the outside temp was hot ( the incident happened early morning with a cool outside temp of 76 degree f). After couple attempts it crank and start where the alternator charge the battery maintaining a dcv 14 plus. After one minute of idling I turn it off and try again, where it give the same error. Making the vehicle unreliable on the street.

The vehicle ignition is faulty and under recall. The vehicle will just turn off by itself. I have contacted Chrysler Jeep but they have not returned my calls to repair this vehicle. I own 2 of these Jeep Commanders and neither of them are safe to drive. Chrysler is aware that they are not safe but yet will not trepair them or provide safe transportation until repair is made.

I had the n23 recall done on my xk and now the service 4wd light comes on. I have done some research and found out this has happened a lot. Dealership says its not their problem and wont fix it. 4wd had no issues at all till the recall was done.

Driving on toll road, 65-70mph, engine stalled, check engine light came on, lost power steering, had to pull over to the side of the road. Put into park, turned off ignition, restarted. Check engine light remained on and continued driving. Check engine light remained on until mid-afternoon that day. Also noticed shifting was jerky.

Tachometer reads high rpms for speed, jerks when shifting. This lasted several days.

2007 Jeep Commander (purchased used in the fall of 2012): as I was pulling out of a parking lot, the car abruptly sped up, causing me to lose control. I crashed into an utility pole directly across from the parking lot exit as a result. The car is now totaled and the utility pole was damaged (leaning over). I traveled approximately 26 feet, at a speed high enough to create that amount of damage. As someone who has driven professionally for many years, this was unnerving and unusual. Also, around 3 months ago the same situation happened while driving down the road. I was following a car going 45 mph, and my Commander suddenly sped up, causing me to apply the brake to slow down. I didn't think anything of it at the time, but now I am wondering if there is/was a problem with the vehicle.

Tachometer rpms read high for speed, jerks when shifting.

Tachometer registered high rpms for speed. Speed ranged from 30-70mph. Vehicle would shift in a jerky manner. Contacted dealership and arranged to have it looked at on 8-7.

Tachometer registers high for speed, shifts in a jerky manner. Dealership scanned and found no codes. Found vacuum leak at iac motor. Replaced idel air control motor. Rechecked operation and test drove.

Vehicle loses power while driving dash lights all flash abs trips on and off.

I was driving my 2007 Jeep Commander limited edition 4x4 in city traffic driving approximately 25 mph in stop and go traffic when it stalled for no apparent reason. The check engine light also came on. After restarting the engine, the problem went away. This stalling and engine light warning has since happened at least 100 more times over the last 4 years. Dealer and independent mechanics are unable to troubleshoot the problem. The most recent event happened on 6/8/14. Complete engine stall on interstate highway. Vehicle was towed 65 miles to home town. Mechanic replaced alternator and battery. Engine started fine, ran well for 2 days and then engine light came back on with intermittent stalling and rough idling. Jeep is at dealer as we speak. Dealer stated they cannot duplicate the problem and will keep the vehicle overnight and try to duplicate the problem tomorrow.

Vehicle stalled while reversing into parking space vehicle stalls coming to stops. . . . . . . Must be restarted to continue on. Vehicle revs really low at idle, idles bounce 200-400 rpm (between 600-1300 rpm), then stalls.

N 23 safety recall was done and after that the 4 wheel lo would not work and dashboard code for service was displayed. Dealer states a national backlog on the 4 lo actuator is the problem and no timeline for the part is available. Reading multiple threads on the internet this is a bigger problem than Jeep is owning up to and the repair part is only at best a temporary fix. This should be addressed at a higher level,I will not buy another Jeep product.

This will be the 3rd electric shift module put in this vehicle. The vehicle lost power then stalled in traffic. The vehicle, while stopped in traffic, would surge. If the brake wasn't applied, it would have struck the vehicle in front of mine. When the problem first started, the incidents of stalling and surging were minimal. As time went on, the incidents were more frequent. The previous switch module (21030400768004143-af) was replaced ($1067. 00/dealer only part/repair cost). The latest module (dealer only part cost me $1008. 04 (part & repair cost). This is the 2nd report to you on this vehicle.
