Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My vehicle would no longer accelerate in traffic causing me to almost get hit in the rear of the vehicle. I could do nothing but coast and brake. All gears became highlighted which were not previously. I am worried if this continues to happen I will be in an accident. This seems to be a common encounter among Jeep owners but there is no recall.”
NHTSA complaint #10956759, filed 2017-02, 145,000 miles“The vehicle ignition is faulty and under recall. The vehicle will just turn off by itself. I have contacted chrysler Jeep but they have not returned my calls to repair this vehicle. I own 2 of these Jeep commanders and neither of them are safe to drive. Chrysler is aware that they are not safe but yet will not repair them or provide safe transportation until repair is made.”
NHTSA complaint #10654303, filed 2014-11, 87,000 miles“I have had several problems with the 2007 Jeep commander. At times it will not start. Recently it has lost power/speed when accelerating. I was merging onto the highway and it suddenly lost power and would not go above 20mph. The engine had a strange noise to it. I have had it fixed multiple times but nothing seems to stop the problems. It is the worst car I have ever owned.”
NHTSA complaint #10455307, filed 2012-04, 79,300 miles“I own a 2007 Jeep commander and now it will shift in low speed mode while traveling at highway speeds. I have the dealer rest it and it did it again while coming home. The replacement of this module is 1000 dollars and with only 104k miles I feel that for safety and reliability this should is on recall. This Jeep is only 4 yrs old and to early for this type of problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10396731, filed 2011-04, 104,000 miles“The 2007 Jeep commander's engine and power shut off at highway speed (approx 65 MPH) on I-95. The power steering and power brakes were not operational. My wife had to cross four lanes of traffic to stop the vehicle on the side of the road to attempt to restart the vehicle. The key was not bumped or touched when the vehicle shut off. The vehicle did restart after coming to a stop.”
