2007 Jeep Commander 4X4 Brakes Problems

“My front brakes locked up while driving on the freeway the first time 11/4/10. I was told from the dealership that they could not duplicate this issue, but got an error from the car that said the front right wheel was going faster then all the rest of the tires and the ABS activated and locked up the front wheels. This happened again 12/15/10 and the ABS, slippery when wet, esp, bas, and service 4 wheel drive lights came on. The dealership tested it again and got the same error message. …”

“Braking capability -- seemingly in front end of vehicle -- is diminished by apparent warping of front brake rotors. This became first noticeable to me at approx just 15k miles. Jeep (daimlerchrysler) wants no part of repair (warranty exp at 12k miles, they say). Independent repair shop informs me that this is chronic problem with jeeps. I complained to daimlerchrysler via latter in march; they declined to help via letter dated april 10, 2007.”

“Vehicle has turned off multiple times at highway speeds causing near fatal collisions, dash board would light up completely and blink on and off as if the key were turned off and on. We make sure that there is sufficient clearance from the key to our knees and we have never accidentally hit the ignition. We have had this happen approx. 15-20 times over the last year and the most recent time last week with both our 8 and 9 year olds in the vehicle on the highway. We need some help on resolving this issue and we are afraid that we will have an accident if this continues to happen.”

“Brakes failed twice since purchasing vehicle in april. Once with my wife driving and once with me which I will describe here: driving uphill at about 35 MPH and traffic light at top of hill turned red. Removed right foot from accelerator and pushed on brake pedal. The pedal felt very stiff and did not travel the normal distance. Brakes did not engage regardless of how hard I pressed on pedal. Had to swerve to shoulder. After about 3 seconds the brakes kicked in my locking up all 4 tires.”

“We have a 2007 Jeep/commander sport thats really somewhat a proble since we bought it (used) and its been a problem since getting it. It has a serious problem with lurching forward while in park/drive and while you're pressing the brakes at a stop. It did it at the dealership as well they did nothing about it. We've replaced inner parts to the transmission that chrysler refused to cover under the warranty. We've had some type of module replaced a couple of times because the truck started running rough( chrysler covered that) each time it happened. …”
