7 Equipment problem of the 2007 Jeep Commander

Failure Date: 07/26/2021

Heat shield on the muffler system. I was towing a boat up north and started to smell a burning smell. At first I thought it was an electrical issue, but couldn't identify anything. So I drove another 3 to 4 miles and the back floor boards was smoking filling the car with smoke. I pulled over and the carpet was melting from the heat of the muffler/exhaust under the back seat. When it was inspected the heat shield was not over the area that almost caught fire. This is an issue that Jeep is more than aware of and it's an issue that only happens when these vehicles are towing. They run extremely hot towing and the heat shield is defective. Their are other's that have had this happen and there's no recall! my car is equipped with tow package too and it was turned on before it's even a question. I got a call about a year ago about a family friend was towing a pop up camper and their Commander caught on fire and was a total loss! thank god no one was injured. There needs to be an investigation with people who have Commander's.

8 Equipment problem of the 2006 Jeep Commander

Failure Date: 06/23/2021

Ignition switch recall which was issued on my Jeep Commander was addressed and ultimately an appointment was made upon availability. However, since the recall, the Jeep will not function normally upon initial start up attempt progressively into more attempts thereafter. Connection between key switch and cylinder not responding to connection, lack thereof. This occurred at first seldom to more and more random periodic "no signal, no start". Recalls are supposed to fix the initial severe problem, correct? not result into another problem that wasn't present before, right? found my time fruitless in getting clarity of this issue resolved from dealer. What can I do? what should be done? as the consumer we will feel the job done wasn't done correctly. Fact is there were not any start up issues prior to the recall addressed and ignition switch replaced/fixed?.

9 Equipment problem of the 2006 Jeep Commander

Failure Date: 05/27/2021

2006 Jeep Commander limited 5. 7l v8 message as appears on dash - transmission over temp while driving a short distance the message transmission over temp appears, the fan kicks on high & is very loud, and it feels like the transmission disengages like being thrown into neutral, but is still drivable. About 2 weeks prior, I noticed smoke coming out from under hood & the engine coolant tank was almost empty. There were no visible leaks on carport. I refilled the tank & immediately called kilby automotive repair shop, then took it in. They said that the radiator cap needed to be replaced. The also said the valve cover gasket was leaking. They replaced the radiator cap & made an appointment for June 3rd to replace the valve cover gasket. Before that appointment the vehicle started displaying the transmission over temp message. I took it into kilby automotive on may 27, 2021. They said it was a faulty transmission temperature sensor, but they could not repair. They have done a lot of repairs on the vehicle for several years. I called ultimate luxury auto service explaining the issue. The man said that he could put a new sensor in & there is a broken transmission mount. He replaced the sensor. Fix mount later. When I was driving home, the same message appeared & the fan kicked on as before. I messaged the shop & took the vehicle back in. They put a 2nd sensor in, drove it & received the same transmission over temp message. They returned the 2 new sensors & put my original sensor back in. They said they were sorry they could not fix it & dropped the price of repairs. I entered the make, model, & message online & found out a lot of people have the same problem. Some people have said they replaced numerous parts & it did not fix it, and others say they replaced the pcm. I am disabled and do not want to be stranded or have a vehicle fire. I am afraid that it would pose a risk to me & others, as transmission oil can ignite on hot surfaces and cause a fire in the engine.

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.

22 Equipment problem of the 2007 Jeep Commander

Failure Date: 10/25/2019

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.

24 Equipment problem of the 2007 Jeep Commander

Failure Date: 09/23/2019

I drove to the store and the truck drove fine. I parked and went in the store for about 15 mins. Came out and tried to start the truck. I would start and stop after about 3 seconds. I have changed spark plugs. Wires. Ign. Coils. Checked fuses. The only thing I can tell you after troubleshooting is the right side of the engine has 0 compression. I have looked on forums and it seems like hundreds and thousands of Jeep owners are having this same problem. They say its the wireless control module. I can't seem to find the wcm anywhere to buy, and I haven't seen a recall for this item.

28 Equipment problem of the 2008 Jeep Commander

Failure Date: 08/01/2019

My Jeep Commander has had 3 different mechanical diagnostics to diagnose why the vehicle shuts off continually while in motion or stopped. The ignition switch was recently replaced as a part of a recall and this has not solved the issue either. The Jeep will randomly shut off, and all power steering is loss, causing a very unsafe condition until it can be put into park or neutral and turn back on. My last diagnostic showed the auto repair shopped a computer read of �running� while the truck had turned off several times right in front of them. I have spent a large amount of money on diagnostics and no mechanic has been able to find an answer even after the ignition switch was replaced as part of an original recall. I was told by all three auto repair shops that they know there is a stalling/shut off issue but they are unable to fix it because there is no indicator of why through thorough diagnostics. They also noted that when the Jeep shuts off the dash lights do not turn on as it would normally when a vehicle shuts off. When the Jeep has shut off on me driving down a major road at 40 miles per hour my only indicator that my vehicle has shut off is that my steering wheel locks up as the Jeep begins to slow down. The new ignition switch has not remedied the shut off issue and no mechanical shop has been able to diagnose and other reason why. Essentially my Jeep Commander is very unsafe with no solution able to found. I researched further and found that there was a front control module recall on some 2008 Jeep Commanders issued. I believe my Jeep Commander's VIN may need to be added to this recall for this make and model because the ignition switch recall has not fixed the issue and no mechanical diagnostic has been able to answer why. Everything else is completely sound with the Jeep Commander except this issue of shutting off while on, in motion or parked.

30 Equipment problem of the 2007 Jeep Commander

Failure Date: 06/24/2019

The car stalls without warning when you are driving. I have had it checked at the dealership and other shops several times and they cannot find out what is wrong with it. It does not matter if you are on the street or on the highway (which is scary) and it is totally random. According to the website I have had all the recalls done.

31 Equipment problem of the 2007 Jeep Commander

Failure Date: 06/18/2019

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.

34 Equipment problem of the 2006 Jeep Commander

Failure Date: 03/23/2019

Began experiencing issues with starting at all after the ignition switch recall was worked on and resolved. The Jeep won't start at different times, different weather conditions. The proper positioning and the vehicle acknowledging it being in park is an issue. The Jeep requires parking to be forced -using the gear lever shift from drive to park and look for the jolt to indicate it's in the appropriate gear, in park.
