“Loss of power on freeway. I have a 2007 Jeep Commander 4.7l v6. Twice while on the freeway the service backup assist light comes on, then all the tranny indicators light up, and vehicle loses all power. Very dangerous while on the freeway in rainy weather and no power. Dealer says my vehicle was not part of the recall and my warranty ended in january.”

“My 2007 Jeep Commander stalled without warning while stopped at a traffic light in rush hour traffic. I pushed the brake and within seconds, the car stopped operating. Pushing the accelerator did nothing. I turned the car off, turned it back on, and was able to continue driving.”

“About 9 times over the last 3 years, my Jeep Commander 2007 limited v8 has stalled while moving causing the electrical components including lights, radio, dashboard panel, etc to momentarily turn off. Each time, the stall is accompanied by a loud clunking noise. In each instance I have been traveling on the interstate 60+ MPH. I am able to restart everytime by either pulling over or putting the car into neutral, restarting the engine, and then putting it back into drive while moving. …”

“As I was driving my Commander, it started to sputter and shift gears erratically and then died. The engine light was on as I pulled over to the side of the road. After I turned the car off completely, I tried to restart the car to continue to work. As soon as I put the vehicle in gear, it stalled once again. On the third try, I was able to place my vehicle in gear and complete my drive to work but the engine light remained on. This same scenario has happened five times since the original incident.”
