My 2007 Jeep Commander is stalling and shutting off while in park and while driving regardless of speed. It has been diagnosed at a Jeep dealership and they say the fuel pump is bad though are unsure if that will fix the problem.
For a number of years now I intermittently receive a "transmission over temp" message in my dash and the car won't start for about 24 hours later. This usually happens after a good rain. I will drive to somewhere and then park for about 10 minutes. When I try to start the vehicle, it doesn't start until about 24 hours later. I replaced the battery and still have the same issue. Auto shops were not able to fix this issue and no one seems to have a clue how to fix this. Right now the vehicle is unreliable as if I go somewhere there is a risk that I will be stranded.

The Jeep will not start and left us stranded 30 miles from home. I had to leave it overnight. All of the lights on the ic light up and it makes a clicking sound but won't turn over. Initially I thought it was a bad starter but after researching it that night I realized it could be a number of things that others are experiencing with their Commanders. I was able to get it home the next day by quickly turning the key from the "off" position to "start" rapidly. It started after 15-20 tries of this movement. Now that it is home, I was able to start it once each day since the initial issue. But now, I am unable to get it started again. Could be the wcm, starter harness, sentry key module, etc. Regardless, it is a widespread issue amongst Jeep Commander owners and something I think Jeep needs to be made aware of. I understand this isn't specifically a safety issue but it could be if my wife and 11 month old are left stranded somewhere because the Jeep decides it doesn't want to start.
