“Our 2008 commander has stalled for no reason on two occasions recently. In both instances, we were driving slow, one into a parking spot and one into our garage, and the Jeep stalled. The vehicle has been well-maintained and driven responsibly. We are taking it to the shop this week, but this seems to be a common problem with Jeep commanders and is likely very difficult to resolve.”
NHTSA complaint #10394412, filed 2011-04, 48,000 miles“Driving on hwy 51 in tulsa. My 2008 Jeep commander stalled at 55-60 MPH. Coasted to an off ramp, put in park and it restarted. I called the dealership in broken arrow, ok. The service department told me I have to have a code reading before they can do anything, and because it was the first time it may not produce a code, if so, they could do nothing and good luck. I bought this car new and it has only 2000 miles.”

The first time the dealer thought it was an issue with the map sensor, well it stalled out the like 1-2 days later. Then they though it needed a transmission software update. Just the other day my family and I were coming home from my inlaws and it stalled again and this time in the middle of a busy inter section and I was so mad. I finally pushed the truck to the side of the road and could not start it, it took about 1/2 of an hour to start it and holding down the gas peddle. …”
