While driving the commander it stalls. The engines shuts off with no warning. Then I have to put it in park and start it again. Sometimes it happens wth the lights, radio and wipers on. And it sounds like it does not want to start. This has happened 5 times. And the dealer does not know what to do.

My 2009 jeep commander stalled and finally cut off while driving. Everything completely shuts down and have to restart the engine immediately. It has happened 4 times now in approximately last four months. This condition has happened twice while my daughter was driving, and twice while my wife was driving. It is at random, and at different speeds of 35mph to 45mph on a city street. So frightening. The vehicle was purchased used in august of 2010 with 38+k miles on it. It has 141000mile now. I have replaced the...

My vehicle shuts-off/ stalls while driving. Within the first 3-5 miles of driving in truck, stalls once per day when I slow to a stop in traffic on the highway. It stalled once on a city street when I put is in reverse. When this happens, the steering wheel loses power. I quickly put it in neutral and restart. This happens almost daily. To date, it has stalled 11-times. I found the an estimated 300,000 chrysler, dodge and jeep vehicles manufactured in 2007 and 2008 were recalled for the same stalling problem that I am experiencing. I am very concerned for my safety and others because I do not know if this is a progressive problem where the engine may stall while in motion.

Identical issue as found with nhtsa # 10908927 vehicle stalls while driving and cannot be restarted without putting the vehicle in park. Purchased the vehicle used with 170,000 miles on it. Carfax shows great care into the vehicle, however within first 24 hours after purchase have found it to stall while driving and at idle near 6x. Have taken to auto repair shop/autozone/used ifixit code finder and nothing is found. This has created hazardous driving conditions as it will happen at random.

Was driving through town with no problem. Road turns into highway and speed limit is 65 mph. Tried to increase speed from 35 mph (town speed limit) and vehicle started slowing down and bucking and hesitating. Pulled off road and turned engine off for a few minutes. Could not increase speed to more than 25 mph. Towed home. Left alone for an hour and retried. Still have same problem. Tried this morning, still same problem. Will need to tow it to a garage. Check engine light also came on.

This morning the car would not start at all. Battery is 100%. All lights come on, everything else works fine but engine will not start. Vehicle is in excellent condition very low mileage. If this would have happened out in the bush we would be in serious trouble. Chatter on most of the jeep forums confirms multiple no start issues across the jeep product line.

Bumped the key and engine shut off...Called the service dept and found out there was recall on my truck prior to me buying it but was not disclosed. *Tr

I pulled out of a gas station after filling up my tank and was trying to make a right turn and my truck completely shut down, no warning lights came on and I was unable to steer. The truck rolled across 2 lanes of traffic, resting on the concrete divider of the street. I was able to put the truck into park and restart it. I have taken the truck to 2 dealerships and they have been unable to diagnose the issue. I have also contacted jeep and worked with a case manager with the company and they have been unable to help me. *Tr

Approximately 3 months after purchasing my jeep commander, it stalled with no warning. All the trucks lights lit up and the power steering would not work. I was able to start it back up and drive. I took it to the dealer and they were unable to help me as they could not recreate the issue. Since then it has happened an additional 2-3 times with the dealership still unable to help me. All times the truck has stalled out and I have been able to restart and drive away. The last time being in september of 2012 while driving on a freeway at approximately 65 mph. *Tr
