I was driving along the highway, when the vehicle stalled and all of the lights came on. I pulled to the side of the road and restarted it and drove away. After taking it in I was told it was a problem with crankshaft position sensor and that it needed to be replaced. After replacing the crankshaft position sensor and driving it back up to the mountains, it happened again. Same problem. I replaced the crankshaft position sensor for a second time. 6 months later a similar problem happened but instead of shutting down the car just sputtered and the engine light came on and started blinking. After taking it in the shop said that the 02 sensor needed replacing. I had passenger front O2 sensor replaced last month, and now it is happening again. The shop is now saying that the pcm is bad and that needs to be replaced. When will this end?.

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. .

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).

This failure may allow the engine to continue stalling resulting in a crash without warning.
