Tthe 4.7 engine suddenly quits while driving, both at high and low speeds.. I have had to pull into breakdown lanes if any, with no powers steering, and at great risk coasting across lanes to safety. The Jeep dealer in my area said therenare no recalls, although many people have had the same experience with the engine quitting. This is an extremely dangerous defect, especially if you cant get over to a safe spot.

Original owner of this vehicle. Has 73,000 on 5.7 hemi engine. Engine blew up on 12/25/2022. Only warning was the gauge went to overheat high red. Stopped vehicle, at fuel station and added more anti freeze. Gauge dropped to while normal range. Got back on highway drove 7 miles and enginle like came on and heat gauge went to high red then dropped to nothing. Got vehilcle off the road and it immediately shut down. Engine blew up. Had vehilcle towed to Jeep Dealership 12/26/2022. Need engine replaced at only 73, 000 miles. Chrysler no longer makes this engine and a rebuilt will have to go into this vehicle. No offer or explanation of why this engine blew up with such low mileage. I was left stranded in 5 degree weather for about 45 minutes along interstate trying to get my roadside assistance to help. They couldn't speak understandable english. After 40 minutes of this call I ended up calling State Police for help. I knew I was starting to go into hypothermia. State Police arrived in minutes and put me in their car to warm me up and they called tow co. That co. showed up in 15 minutes. I called Chrysler myself to try to find a new engine but they discontinued this engine in July 2022, early cut off for an engine. No new engines in inventory. No offer of any kind to assist or ask questions about possible injury/causes/or where the vehicle was. No engine should blow with this low mileage. Why did they cut off mfg of this engine so early? No answers. Vehicle is at Hillview Motors, Greensburg, PA 15601(Jeep Dealership) for repair. Jeep Dealership inspected engine and determined it was blown. Only warning was guage went hot then engine blew. Nothing in the past on this vehicle.

Unknown. While my vehicle is set on cruise control and the weather is over 50 degrees or the air is running my cruise control will shut off. Warning lights abs, esp bas, & stability control will come on, then my cruise control won-??t work anymore. Now just this morning going up a hill my car wouldn-??t go pass 20 mph while my foot was to the floor basically. Then almost to the top of the hill it took off. The rmps went high Jeep shifted to next gear. Of course took my foot off petal and pushed brakes slightly. As slowing down it started shifting hard with high rmps still. I have done a new tune up and new transmission within the last 6 months. Before the new transmutation it was still doing this. The reason to replace the transmission was my Jeep just stopped completely moving. I don-??t have the money to keep taking my Jeep back to the dealership for them to keep telling me they don-??t know the problem. If nothing gets done about this sadly I will have to get rid of it. The cruise accrues when I-??m on the highway going 60 to 65 mps. The shifting problem happen in town. Which both issues could cause a serious car wreck and harm to others and my self.

I have a jeep commander 2007 limited. According to your recall dates my VIN number doesn-??t fall within those dates for my car to have the recall. Although my jeep is completely stallling out while driving 69 mph, I mean loss of all electrical inside my jeep. Power steering fails, engine shuts off, I am lucky enough that my brakes still work but who is to say that won-??t happen again. So when looking my VIN number up seeing that this is ONE of the recalls, my VIN number ISNT part of the vehicles that was affected by the recall but I-??m still encountering the SAME issue as the recall. I-??ve taken it to my mechanic he cannot seem to find the problem. I need help I just bought this car! It-??s our family car so it-??s not only affecting me it-??s my entire family. My husband, my two year older and my elderly parents.

Intermittent starting issue. This is my only vehicle, I have 2 kids with special needs and need to get to important appointments. I start my 2007 Jeep Commander, I get to where I am going, when I go to restart my vehicle it sometimes doesn't want to start. It will crank over just refuses to start. I have had multiple mechanics look at my Jeep and no one can figure out reasoning to this intermittent starting issue. I have put so much money and work into my Jeep for it to keep doing the same problem. The last mechanic I took it too seen code error in the display window on dash 'transmission over temp' when he had tried to start it. It does not do this every time the will be days it continuously starts every time then there are days that it's intermittent, and days it will not start at all. The mechanic starting lookin on Jeep forums about this issue there are tons of reports of the same issue but no solution. My mechanic said Jeep is aware of the issue but there is no recalls on this issue. He said he believes it is a programming issue the car thinks the transmission is over temp so it sends signal to the engine that it's too hot and the engine sends signal to the fuel pump that there is a temperature issue do not turn on. When it cranks over it acts as if it isn't getting any fuel at all. I have purchased a new fuel pump and some other parts the issue is happening. I bought the Jeep in April of 2020 off of another owner, the issue didn't start with me until January of 2021, the previous owner mentioned anything about this happening to them when I asked them. Can something please be done about this issue so myself and thousands of other 2007 Jeep Commander owners can get back to enjoying our vehicles"??" thank you for taking your time and reading this complaint.

Upon starting the engine reads a high idle, drive the Jeep down the road and a red lightning bolt appears and then across the dash reads check gauges. At this point the coolant gauge quits working. If shut off and restarted the Jeep sometimes won't start and will say transmission overheating even when it's not. It will sound like the starter is stuck and keep trying to start until the key is removed. After about 20 minutes of it sitting it will now start and the gauges will work properly and no warning lights. Already replaced thermostat and temperature sensor.

We have been having issues with our Jeep just suddenly turning off. Very dangerous situation specially since we have our kids in the Jeep with us when it happens. We could be driving on the freeway and the Jeep will just shut off and will not show no problem codes. This happens at any speed and no speed. We turn the Jeep on a let it warm up. About 2 minutes later it shuts off. We have to turn it back on. Then we would be driving at speed below 30 mph and turns off. And most dangerously on the freeway when it just turns off and we have to pull over and this is hard specially because the steering wheel is so stiff. Hopefully Jeep/Chrysler can do something about it.

I bought this Jeep 10-4-19. Since I've owned the vehicle it has stalled multiple time while going down the road. The first time it happen was with my 18 year old daughter. I first thought she just did something wrong and didn't think much of the issue. Until I was taking my son to a baseball camp in ut knoxville. It died on us twice while going down the interstate. Luckily, I was able to pull off the side of the road. It took us about 5-10 minutes and it finally would start back up and run normal. On the trip home it ran fine until we crossed over the Georgia state line and it died one more time. I have replaced the battery. I read somewhere that it was a grounding issue so I pulled the ground wires off to make sure they are touching metal. This hasn't helped and the vehicle will still stall while driving or at stop lights. I bought this for my kids to drive but like everyone else I've read about. I'm afraid to let my kids or wife drive this car. I don't have the money to buy another vehicle. Any help would be greatly appreciated considering this seems to be a known issue. I've started documenting the times it stalls to see if there is a pattern. 11/7/19 8 pm in traffic, 11/12/19 8 am in traffic, 11/20/19 lows parking lot, 12/2/19 10:17 pm at red light - then again 10:29 at another red light down the road. Also the speeds were from 35 mph to 75 mph doesn't matter.

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 inspect my vehicle at no cost to me. Your prompt response to this urgent matter will be greatly appreciated.

Engine does not start sometimes, have had recalled ignition put in already. Then it stalled on highway, had it towed to mechanic, couldn't get it jumped. He took off serpentine belt and showed us engine was locked up. It has a 5.7 hemi in it. I get all fluids changed when I'm supposed to. Change oil and filter religiously with best oil and filter available. Mechanic even said all fluids looked great. He can't understand it. This vehicle has had numerous problems, from leaking weepholes in son roof to drivetrain, not wanting to start and stalling when ever to now a seized engine!

Takata recall I was driving along as normal on the city street with minimal and my vehicle cut off on its own. It will not turn over or even try to turn over.

- Southport, FL, USA

Takata recall about a month ago I was traveling at 70mph on the interstate. When exiting the interstate my car just shut it's self off. No warning lights, sounds, etc. We tried for about 20 mins to get it to start back and stay running once running we took it straight to a mechanic who put it on a machine. No problems showed up on the machine at all and it's been fine ever since until today. This time my husband was driving and the exact same thing happened again.
