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 ...

While driving straight in the fast lane on the highway at around 65 mph, my vehicle suddenly shut off with no warning and i noticed that all dashboard warning lights came on. fortunately, there was a fast-lane shoulder that i was able to steer it on, or i might have been killed by oncoming traffic. vehicle would not re-start so i disconnected the negative battery cable, waited a few minutes and re-connected it and then the vehicle re-started but ran very rough. i proceeded along the shoulder to try and get off the highway, but the vehicle shut down again. i repeated the same process and it again re-started and i managed to drive home on back roads at 40 mph. this has happened on at least three other occasions, but the incidents occurred many months apart, which made me think it was a one-off situation. i have since researched this issue on the internet and have learned that many other people have had this happen to them. i think this is a tragedy in the making if chrysler does not address this deficiency by issuing an immediate recall. i also request that a chrysler dealership ...
Air bag indicator light on . ignition switch problem prior relates power mechanical devices, windows, sunroof, seats which present a safety hazard.. loss of functionality of these systems increases safety and injury risk. chrysler worked on the ignition switch and after had issues with windows and airbag.
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.
While driving at normal speed(s) 35-50mph all dash lights came on in sequence and then the engine stalled. luckily this was at 230 am and near a closed business parking lot and i was able to coast off the road way. within a few seconds of the vehicle motion stopping the lights, radio and all electric died and would not start. this is a serious safety issue and i guess jeep is waiting for someone to die and have their family sue them. i have seen several complaints on 2006 commanders doing the same thing. i bought mine 12/24/2018 and i am the third owner. first owner was a leasee and put 22k miles on it. second owner had the vehicle from 2010 to 12/15/2018 and it had 80,500 miles when i bought it. i have only put less than 1000 miles on it and i am having serious concerns on keeping it. 3.7v6/auto 4x4 sport

2007 jeep commander with 112,000 est miles, bought used in ak 2016. a week after i bought it i kept having o2 sensor codes pop up. i have had all sensors replaced more than once and numerous other parts with the latest being the catalytic converter. i have spent several thousands of dollars trying to solve this issue. today was my breaking point, i was driving on i-24 to nashville to take my son to an appointment at vanderbilt. it was raining this morning, all of a sudden the red lighting bolt and other lights came on. my jeep lost power, the brakes didn't work, the steering locked up and i was scared i was going to get hit. i put my hazards on and was able to get across 2 lanes of traffic to the shoulder. i shut the jeep off and turned it back on and it was normal again with just the check engine light on. i was so scared to drive back to clarksville, fearing that it would happen again. i saw that i am not the only one who has had this issue. i called corporate and they said there is nothing really they can ...
While driving at 60 mph on the highway, my jeep has jolted like it had lost power for a brief moment. the jolt was severe enough that it made my arms ache from it. this worries me as i have read many complaints about complete stalls at high speeds and this could cause a severe accident. my jeep has 150,000 miles on it. this issue needs to be investigated before there is a fatality.
Air bag came on and doesn't go off, engine light is on constantly even after vehicle is repaired. vehicle shuts off while you are driving. seat belts are broken woke stay after being repaired. windows get stck.
Under heavy rain, the vehicle leaks on the inside to the point of a big puddle in the floor of the driver side while stationary. this has also caused a problem with my cruise control and on-screen nav it now goes on and off displaying the jeep logo as if the car was just starting up and i am in the middle of driving.
Our 2007 jeep commander has had a recurring issue for over a year while in operation whether in motion or stationary, vehicle will shut off randomly. when you attempt to restart the vehicle, it starts right back up again. the random vehicle shutdowns take place in all driving conditions and regardless of uphill or downhill driving. brought the jeep commander to the jeep dealership and they replaced the ignition switch as part of a recall. this did not resolve the problem at all and the dealership was unable to figure out causes for random stalling even when the commander failed during testing with technicians. i replaced virtually every sensor i could imagine including, throttle position sensor and idle air control sensor, egr, map sensor, air intake sensor and the pcm. no luck, we have the same random stalling and the procedure is, restart the vehicle in neutral for recovery while in motion. the restart does not fail, but the random stalling continues sometimes five or six times on a 100 mile trip. this is dangerous and can get someone or their family killed.
2007 jeep commander, the vehicle was parked and when i came to turn it on, the ignition switch turns but the engine does not turn on. i had a recall letter about this issue a couple years ago and had it replaced at the dealership. however, it seems like this issue has not been fixed. please solve it, as this causes a lot of problems and frustration to chrysler's customers.
