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.
Like countless other owners of this vehicle form years 2006-2007, the "transmission over temperature" light has been going on and off for years. i've spend over $1500 on repair for all things surrounding the transmission, only for the light to continue to come on. some people have even noted that they were stranded for hours due to this - it's obviously not just one person's experience with the car, and a quick glance online will show the depths of issues people are having with the transmission and the light on this vehicle.
First my gauge cluster just goes crazy parked or even while driving it. now i just drove it down the road and it is stuck in 4th gear will not go into any other gear!
The u-joints are worn and there is no replacement joints. it is a dealer item and need to get a new drive shaft for the front and rear on a 4x4 jeep commander.you notice the vibration on the steering wheel in different speeds due to the bad u-joints.
My 2007 jeep commander is stalling and shutting off while in park and while driving regardless of speed. it has been diagnosed at a jeep dealership and they say the fuel pump is bad though are unsure if that will fix the problem.
