Engine Stall Problems of Jeep Commander - part 1

This has been the 3rd time this type of event happens, the first time was at a city street driving straight forward at 30-35mph and the engine started stalling, truck completely went off, head lights would go on and off, along with my interior dashboard indicators and media center. Second time, same thing, and the third time while driving at about 35-40mph in a city street and gradually slowing down to 10-15mph to make a left the truck completely went off, head lights would go on and off, along with my interior dashboard indicators and media center. It seem like I had turned off the engine completely for like a split second. I though it might've been that I hit the key with my knee, but I pulled over restarted the engine after 15 min, and the problem continued. All the lights would go on and off and the engine power would shut down, when putting the gears, it would sound very forcing. I turned it off again and waited 30 min, restarted the truck again it did the problem for a few seconds and then it was like nothing ever happened.

My vehicle shuts-off/ stalls while driving. Within the first 3-5 miles of driving in truck, stalls once per day when I slow to a stop in traffic on the highway. It stalled once on a city street when I put is in reverse. When this happens, the steering wheel loses power. I quickly put it in neutral and restart. This happens almost daily. To date, it has stalled 11-times. I found the an estimated 300,000 Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep vehicles manufactured in 2007 and 2008 were recalled for the same stalling problem that I am experiencing. I am very concerned for my safety and others because I do not know if this is a progressive problem where the engine may stall while in motion.

Driving under certain conditions the vehicle engine completely shuts off and stalls. This happens on the highway, mostly at speeds of about 45-60 mph. The two recalls available on the vehicle as it relates to this issue (tcm/pcm ) ( ignition switch) have been recently fixed by the dearlership, however the vehicle continues to mulfunction in the same manner and appears to be getting worse. Contacting Chrysler, they are abrasive and uncooperative. A little research shows that there are several owner complaints on this very issue dating back to 2006-2007-2008. There appears to be an "active" investigation ongoing by the NHTSA-office of defects investigations. What is the status of this investigation-10 years later??? there appears to be no interest on the part of the manaufacturer to address this issue without the vehicle owner incurring massive loses in endless diagnostic and repair expenses.

Driving at 55 mph engine stalled and shuts down.

Driving home from meeting approx 10pm. All seemed to be running smoothly. Sudden 'clunk' noise from engine compartment. Engine stalled. Coasted to side of road.

Engine started immediately and I completed my trip without further incident. The key did not fall out nor do I have anything attached to it. This is the 5. 7liter engine. A review of this issue on the internet once home has returned 100s of complaints from people who have had the same problem with no dealer resolutuion in any of the cases I read. I do not know if this is related to the outstanding key issue. I purchased this car yesterday so I cannot speak to whether it has happened before. This could be a very serious situation were it to happen in commute time traffic. I see the stalling issue on your list with all the engines used in the Commander but I see no resolution.

Driving at speed on a parkway, the car engine stalled out. Lost all electrical (radio, speedometer, tach, etc. ) and was able to pull off to side of the road. Brakes and steering worked, but not ps. Car started back up with turn of ignition. This is the second instance of this happening, first one was about 2 years ago but don't have info. I happened to pay closer attention this time given recent history of ignition recalls.

We were on a main road coming up to a stoplight when the engine suddenly stalled. Hands were still on steering wheel. Had my son and sister with me. Had to put the car in "park" and restart the engine. Did not get hit, but dangerously close to being hit from behind.

My vehicle stalled over 5 times in first 10 minutes of operation. Once I got to 50-60 mph the engine with hesitate and stall out at high speeds and require a shift into neutral to restart. This has been a consistent issue with my Jeep Commander since the day I purchased it in 2012. I have had the vehicle in to Jeep/Chrysler on 4 different occasions and they have never found the issue. I had to leave my vehicle with naperville Chrysler/Jeep/ram/Dodge on Friday 6/20 because it was not drivable and dangerous. They determined that it was the camshaft position sensor. I have read that 100's iif not 1000's of Jeep owners have had similar issues and to date no recall or fix. Shame on Chrysler, somebody will be injured because this issue.

My beloved Jeep Commander suddenly shut off while driving at 40mph. With no prior problems or warning signs the engine completely stalled- instantly I lost both power steering & brakes. Needless to say I was terrified. After much confusion & hassle I was told to replace my key. (reason being the 'chip' inside was malfunctioning. ) I replaced the $270 key which solved nothing. To my surprise, many Commander owners experience this same problem with no help from Jeep. Not only do Jeep dealerships ignore the potential recall warning on the Commander, but they actually recommend expensive 'solutions' that do not even touch the known problem. It seems as though there are no solutions for this faulty system, given that no dealership can successfully stop the shutting off. There are way too many owners experiencing the same dangerous stall. I cannot in good conscience ignore the fact that this problem goes beyond inconvenience; this is potentially very dangerous and the Jeep Commander needs to be recalled.

While driving on freeway, vehicle engine suddenly stalled. Was able to move off the freeway, vehicle restarted immediately when key was moved to off position, and then to start. No error codes came up on dash readout. Was able to complete journey with no other stalling at that time. Vehicle since has continuously and randomly has stalled at highway speeds as well as being stopped at a stop light or stop sign. Again no codes have come up on dash readout. This dangerous situation continues to occur. Vehicle has been updated on services needed, diagnostics taken; but still problem persists with no resolution from Jeep dealer and service technicians.

2008 Jeep Commander 4x4 loses all power at high speeds taken back to reedman-toll dealership x2 in April 2014 and Aug 2014, and they cannot identify problem. Reedman told us gas cap could cause engine light to go on, or win module, which was replaced once, may need to be replaced because key chain is too heavy (cannot have multiple keys on chain) and may need tune up. It s soo scarey and dangerous now we see there have been numerous complaints filed.

I am writing to express my concern regarding an engine problem with my 2007 Jeep Commander, that causes the engine to stall, and all power to shut down and the engine to completely shut off. While at first this problem was simply an inconvenience, I soon learned how dangerous this problem actually is. I was on a highway and I went to pass another car, mid-pass my engine stalled and I lost all power with another car coming at me head-on. Thankfully the other car was able to stop and we avoided a head-on collision at highway speed, but the outcome could have been very different. The stalling has been an ongoing issue with my Jeep now for at least two years, with no resolution to the problem in sight. I have followed all suggestions like not having a key chain and only using he key in my ignition with no change in the frequency of the stalling. It seems a bit ridiculous that there has been no solution to this very dangerous problem. A case was opened by Chrysler in January regarding my 2007 Jeep Commander stalling without warning. The stalling continues to be a very dangerous and unpredictable problem for me. In my last communication I was assured that my Jeep would be fixed when the part became available, I have heard nothing since January. Not only am I concerned about the safety of myself and others when I drive my car, I am also concerned about the additional stress this flaw in manufacturing is putting on the engine of my car. It’s extremely fortunate that no one has been seriously injured due to the stalling problem to date, but I fear it is just a matter of time until someone’s car stalls at the wrong moment and they are unable to avoid tragedy. I’m hoping someone can help we get resolution to this dangerous issue as Chrysler has done nothing so far.

The engine has stalled on me many times while driving at a slow speed, take off from a stop light or while standing still. Engine light has come one numeriouse times and codes have lead to different sencors. Which were replaced but did not fix the problem of the Jeep stalling and shutting off. This is my main vehicle and I can not chance the safety of my kids and family when no one wants to take action for a problem that has not been fixed or recalled. If anything happens to my family die to this problem there will be a law suit. I bought this vehicle used with a little over 60,000 miles on it and have only had it for a month. I can not even go a full week with out it shutting off or stalling on me. There is a serious issue that Jeep chrystler needs to look into!.

Engine suddenly stalled while driving on the freeway at 65 mph. No warning lights came on. I was able to get over to the shoulder and restart the car. I took the car to my mechanic today and they can't find anything wrong. I checked online and found that 2008 Commanders and grand cherokees were subject to a recall concerning improperly programmed front control modules. According to Chrysler my car is not part of the recall, however what happened to my car is exactly the same symptoms as those listed in the recall and supporting information.

When shifting from park to drive, or reverse to drive, the engine stalls and it takes almost a minute for the shift to actually occur so I can drive.

We purchased a 2008 Jeep Commander on December 15th 2012 and have had an issue with the engine stalling. We will be driving and all of the sudden the vehicle engine dies. Its always restarted but we never know when its going to stall out and die. This happened to my wife yesterday and she didn't know how to react. She almost caused an accident when she tried to exit a busy freeway with no power steering. This is a huge safety issue that I think Chrysler needs to address before someone gets killed !!!! I read about this issue online and the problem has been with the front control module. Many Jeep Commander owners have come fourth with the same issue and Chrysler just tells us all the same thing. We didn't recall your specific model so there is nothing we can do or will do. I hope someone actually reads this and helps us out !!! please don't let all of these complaints just go to a black hole never to be seen again !!! I know I am not as rich as the Chrysler ceos and executives who pay people to keep quite about things like this but my life and the lives of my family do matter !!! p-l-e-a-s-e----h-e-l-p !!!!!.

Tl-the contact owns a 2007 Jeep Commander. The contact stated while driving at approximately 25 mph, the engine stalled. The vehicle was able to restart after three attempts. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the gear shifter needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure persisted. The contact received a notification of NHTSA campaign number: 14v438000 (electrical system) however, the part to do the repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was unknown. Ak.

Started the car at the house and drove 1 mile to the gas station. Shut the car off to fill the tank. Tried to restart and it would not start until I pushed the gas in. When it started smoke poured out the back. Took it across the street to a mechanic and they said the engine was trashed. Had the car towed to the Jeep dealer where I bought it. They said the same thing that the motor was trashed. I paid the Dodge dealer to tear down the engine so I could know what happened. They informed me that the valve in the 4th cylinder had slipped down into the motor and destroyed the piston and cylinder wall. Have to have a new engine installed. The vehicle is a 2006 Jeep Commander with the 5. 7 hemi and only has 77,000 miles on it and from what I have researched and talking to mechanics this is a problem that should never happen. This part should not fail in this manor. Have gotten no response from Chrysler and am taking on the cost of the repair myself. If I was hard on the motor it would be one thing but it was only driven to work by my wife. We only put maybe 20,000 mile on it since we bought it. I am aware that this problem has occurred in other vehicles and who knows how many were repaired by Chrysler, under warranty. I will be into this vehicle about 40,000 dollars after the new engine is installed and I think Chrysler bares part of the blame and should be held accountable. Thank you for your time in considering this matter.
