Loss of power on freeway. I have a 2007 Jeep Commander 4.7L V6.

- Dublin, OH, USA

I visited a dealership to diagnose why the check engine light was on in my vehicle, as well as to diagnose why it was losing acceleration when approaching highway speed. After about half an hour, I was advised by the service advisor, that, 'they have been seeing a lot of this' and the cause was the gear shifter console which needed to be replaced. She followed this by stating the replacement was not covered under warranty and provided me with the estimated cost. Perplexed, I inquired as to whether the cause was due to wear and tear and could this have been prevented through scheduled maintenance. Ms. Hawkins response was 'no'. further confused, I inquired as to why would the replacement then be the consumer's responsibility, as it would appear to me to have been a manufacturing malfunction. The rep's response was merely the same, the services are not covered under warranty and if not replaced the vehicle could get locked in the parked position while driving the vehicle. Thus I was forced to comply paying more than $600 in repairs.

- Rockaway Beach, NY, USA

It happened shortly after purchasing my new 2007 Jeep Commander, it would give a hesitation while sitting at stop light or while in park like it was about to die, it would also rev up the engine like it was accelerating, we took it in a few months after we bought it, they said they found nothing wrong and did nothing at that time, it continued to do it, but we just put up with it because we figured we'd hear the same thing, (it don't happen every time we drive it, just periodically) so now, it's doing it more intensely, it's as if someone is mashing on the gas pedal while in park and also at stop lights while I have my foot on brakes, once it has jumped forward and I thought I would hit the car ahead of me. I took it in again, they reset the computer, and since, it has done it again a couple days after getting it out. I will call them back, but looking at the complaints online, it shows me something is terrible wrong with Jeep unintentionally accelerating, please help, I don't want to cause a accident or hurt myself or anyone else. I saved receipts from the dealership over this problem, please examine all our complaints, not everyone knows how to submit complaints to this Agency, just look online or perhaps check every single dealership, thank you

- Grapevine, TX, USA

My 2007 Jeep Commander has stalled on me about 7 times so far, four of which almost resulted in serious accidents. It also accelerates while driving at one speed to a faster speed, almost causing me to have a rear end accident! but the worst of it all is when I am sitting at a light with my foot on the brakes and the car will jerk forward, again, almost causing a rear end accident(mind you my foot is still on the brake when this happens!) I also have a problem with the air whistling sound when all windows are rolled up I need help or I need to turn this hazard in! I have small children!

I first noticed my car's engine dying out approx. 2 mo. After purchasing it. It happened at a red light, and I started it right back up, and thought nothing much of it. The engine would putter at red lights (3 times over time). This past Tuesday night, I left the grocery store, and the car would not go beyond 20 mph, no matter how I pressed the gas pedal. I had to drive with my emergency blinkers and take the access road home. I T was night, and I did't want to be hit or rear ended. I feel so disgusted, and angry, because I just purchased it this past summer on July 7, 2007.it has only approx 6,000 miles. This isn't normal. I have been reading about the deaths on the Jeep Commanders, where the car engine and all its lights will suddenly turn off, while driving at interstate speeds. I don't want my car anymore, I don't want to be a statistic. The car seemed normal the following morning. I am driving to and from work on the access roads. The problem with the local dealer here is that if the problem is not happening right before their eyes, they will write a computer print out that states "nothing wrong found", and send you away. I spoke to the general mgr. Jack dunn, and explained the situation he told me I had probably pumped some dirty gasoline in the engine, because he knew of the same type of problem that happened to me with other cars. He also told me that I should never let the gasoline tank go lower than half-full. I plan to take it in to the dealer this Friday.

- Laredo, TX, USA

On approximately 6 occasions while driving my 2007 Jeep Commander, the vehicle has unexpectedly just shut off completely, steering wheel locks so you can't steer and it is very scary. Especially since I have a 4 year old daughter who was riding with me on one occasion. I am now reading online of many people with this car who have the same experience. The dealer told me they reprogrammed the computer, but I am terrified to drive my new car. Dealer also indicated they are not getting a lot of cooperation from the manufacturer on this one (as internet entries from others indicate as well). This is extremely dangerous. It also happened to me while I was driving on I-75 at about 70 mph. Again, the whole car shuts off and you can't steer. Something needs to be done immediately before someone is killed.
