Starter problems of the 2007 Jeep Commander

Mid winter of 2018 I drove my Jeep home and parked it on a flat landing and when I went out to start it 2 days after parking it nothing happened. I had to have it towed because the problem was with my starter. Now it is October 2019 and I was waiting at a red light in the middle of a busy city intersection and the Jeep just shuts off. After I couldn't get it started up again we found that it was once again the starter. This happened 2 weeks ago and since then I had the starter rebuilt and put back in. This morning it did the exact same thing at the exact same red light. On top of this it has been overheating at random times while driving, it does leak antifreeze but it has overheated even when the antifreeze was full. Also, over the summer I parked at s pizza shop in my hometown and left it running while I picked up my order. When I returned to the Jeep it was stuck in park and needed the shifter replaced. The components that attached the shifter to the actual gears were destroyed. I've had this Jeep for 1. 5 years and it has left me sit now on 4 separate occasions.

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.

When attempted to start vehicle,clicks but starter won't turn. Adjusting contact if factory wires resolved no start situation temporarily. However, problem returned in 24hours.

Transmission over temperature warning. Won't start. Starter does not engage. Let sit for many hours, then will start.

Upon having the ignition switch safety recall performed on my Jeep, I am now putting in the 5th starter on my Jeep. Since this recall has been done, I'm replacing starters as frequently as I am doing oilchanges.

Intermittent starting issue. The Jeep will drive fine but once you turn it off it is a coin toss whether it will start again. I have found that if you crawl underneath the Jeep and push in on the yellow wire connected to the starter, it will immediately start. It is obviously a poorly designed connector, as it is obviously not weather proof but it is in an area that needs to be water tight. I have seen many complaints about this same issue online, but when you call the dealerships they tell you they have never heard of this issue.

The Jeep will not start and left us stranded 30 miles from home. I had to leave it overnight. All of the lights on the ic light up and it makes a clicking sound but won't turn over. Initially I thought it was a bad starter but after researching it that night I realized it could be a number of things that others are experiencing with their Commanders. I was able to get it home the next day by quickly turning the key from the "off" position to "start" rapidly. It started after 15-20 tries of this movement. Now that it is home, I was able to start it once each day since the initial issue. But now, I am unable to get it started again. Could be the wcm, starter harness, sentry key module, etc. Regardless, it is a widespread issue amongst Jeep Commander owners and something I think Jeep needs to be made aware of. I understand this isn't specifically a safety issue but it could be if my wife and 11 month old are left stranded somewhere because the Jeep decides it doesn't want to start.

Vehicle failed to start. All lights, gauges, etc. Were operational. Failed to engage starter. Towed to repair facility. Vehicle was diagnosed with a faulty power control module. Repair shop reported that due to numerous issues with the module across the county, the replacement part is currently not available and may take up to a week or longer before the part is available. Apparently, this is a common fault in these vehicles and renders our vehicle inoperable for an unacceptable length of time.

The contact owns a 2007 Jeep Commander. The contact stated that when the ignition key was turned to the on position, the vehicle failed to start intermittently. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the starter and battery needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The failure recurred. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 140,000. The VIN was not available.

When you try to start, it would turn over and click, but not start. After about 10 times, it would finally start. My mechanic checked the battery ( which was about 3 months old) and it was good. He changed the started and still had the same problem. Put in another starter, assuming the part was bad. Still had same problem. Just replaced the ignition switch. Car started this morning at his shop, but would not start until I attempted to start it about 10 times and it finally started. An intermittent starting problem.

On 2/11/14 took vehicle into the Chrysler dealership because of the starter motor not working properly and it had turned off while I was driving on several occasions. They had to replace the starter motor and I had to pay for it. After this the air bag light went on and I would think this is a safety issue and I should not had to pay for any of this. But I did. They told me they had to replace a short in the harness part #5143387aa. Also, the said the driver seat belt was causing air bag light to go on. This was a defect. I believe that if these are recalls and safety issues from Chrysler and I had to pay for them I would think that Chrysler should reimburse me for taking care of these problems before something bad really happened. I am always maintaining my vehicle and I am very glad that I have taken care of these problems. I would appreciate a email back and hopefully a refund for paying for something that should have been a recall. I have all of my records and receipts if you need copies. Thank you.

Just purchased used 2007 Commander sport v6 at 58458 miles. . . Drove it on vacation from detroit to wilmington, nc approx. 900 miles. Trip went without incident until we drove down to see the ocean turned off the car, walked along the beach for about a half an hour, came back to the car, turned the ignition and absolutely nothing. However, all the electrical components seem to be functioning except the starter. At the dealer now and waiting to see what they tell me. I spent 25 plus years working in dealerships, mostly Chrysler, not as a mechanic but I had my fair share of exposure to the service department. Signed, stranded in nc.

It is currently stalling, while sitting at street lights. Also, the gear shift model including starter and wiring.

The contact owns a 2007 Jeep Commander. The contact stated that when driving at low speeds below 10 mph, the vehicle would suddenly stall. The failure occurred on multiple occasions. In addition, the contact indicated that the transmission over temperature warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who indicated that a faulty starter caused the failure. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and was informed that the vehicle was not included in the NHTSA campaign number: 08v20300 (power train). The failure mileage was 60,000.

While driving 70mph down the highway, my car suddenly stalled. I was forced to make an emergency stop on the shoulder of the highway. Unlucky for me, where my car decided to stall was near the off ramp of the highway, under a bridge. It was quite a dangerous position to be in. The Jeep dealership decided that it was a throttle positioning sensor. Several months later and my car is randomly stalling again and the dealership does not understand why. I've had my shift assembly fully replaced as well as a new starter. I don't understand the issues that I am facing and why so little is known by the Jeep dealership when this SUV has been out for several years now.

My 2007 Jeep Commander has continued to have electrical problems. Battery has been replaced and dealer has replaced ignitiion switch, wires within the wiring harness, starter and now they admit that they had to contact Chrysler mechanics to fix the problem. Three times it's been at the dealer for the repair and now subject to lemon law. There are numerous reports and more serious ones with Jeep Commanders losing power either after being parked then attempting to start or while driving, causing hazardous conditions.

Tl-the contact owns a 2007 Jeep Commander 4x4. The contact stated that while driving 60 mph, the engine stalled. The contact placed the vehicle into a neutral position and kept driving. The problem has occurred numerous of times. The vehicle was taken a dealer mechanic and the diagnosed was loosed wiring that came from the starter. The vehicle was repaired. However, the failure has recurred and the contact received NHTSA campaign number 14v438000(electrical system). The manufacturer was notified about the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 39,578. Lb.

I have a 2007 Jeep Commander and it is less than four years old and I have had the starter replaced 4 times. Jeep can't explain why they can't fully fix the problem and they refuse to acknowledge that this is an issue with the Commanders at large and not my specific vehicle. In addition to having had the starter replaced 4 times, I have also had the electronic shifting module replaced as well and the crankshaft. My Commander has less than 40,000 miles on it and has been well maintained since I purchased it brand new. Jeep has failed to address my concerns and refuses to accept responsibility for selling me a vehicle. Jeep suggested I purchase a new vehicle and I find this preposterous due to the fact that the car is less than four years old. The Commander is clearly defective and Jeep needs to take responsibility for it. Instead, Jeep refuses to accept responsibility and they decided to rectify the problem by halting production.
