2010 Jeep Commander Engine Problems

“The Jeep will stall out while decelerating every few months for the last couple of years. Most of the time it has been while approaching an intersection from speeds of 30-45 MPH, so I have learned to pop the transmission into neutral to restart the car while in motion. This is horribly scary and dangerous since I obviously cannot steer during the process, and have, at least four times, been making a left-hand turn across traffic. …”

“Takata recall I am the original owner of a 2010 Jeep Commander. Unfortunately, this past week the timing chain broke and left me stranded on the side of the road. Thank goodness it was not during rush hour. There was no warning and could have caused an accident. Let me start by stating that this Jeep has been meticulously cared for from day 1 and every recommended service and oil change has been done on time. This is our family car and not an off road toy.

“I just purchased a used 2010 Jeep Commander limited with 5.7 hemi from philpot motors and brought it home june 25th, 2012. On friday, june 29th on my way home the engine completely shut off twice within 10 minutes. Both times it was as I was coming to a complete stop. I had to put it in park and turn the key and it started right back up like nothing was wrong. Philpot had it brought to an authorized Jeep dealer (allen samuels) where it sat for 2 weeks and they couldn't figure it out or reproduce the problem. …”

“The car drove fine pulled it in the garage. Got up thursday morning to go to work the car turned on and started shaking and I turned it of tried once more it would not turn on at all. So then I changed the crank sensor the cam sensor got a new battery put new spark plugs the truck still would not start. Had a garage look at it they said it was the intake manifold so they therefore told me to take it to Jeep because it was covered under warranty. I took it to Jeep and the told me this would not stop my car from running, they have had my car for a week and no diagnosis. …”

“With no warning,(no noise from engine) traveling about 25mph engine light flash on, lost all engine power, became hard to steer, was able to safely pull the vehicle out of the road. Later learned that the timing chain broke. I also learned that chrysler corporation recalled this engine 5.7 hemi in other products, but not the Jeep. This is a time bomb”
