| It was a rainy day. i pulled my car in to the garage and shut off the engine. pulled out the key and entered my house. the garage is connected to my home. i came back to the garage some time later to find the engine was still on. i ran to the drivers seat to see no key in the ignition and verified the remote engine feature wasn't engaged, it is designed to turnoff after the car door is open for a short time. the engine wouldn't shut off. i brought it to my husband, who drove it a bit and could not get the engine off. eventually it self corrected. a truly dangerous issue since this car is parked in my home. we brought it to the dealer about 4 times, and while the engine hasn't done that again, various parts of the car turn on spontaneously. a single head light, a single brake light, all the lights. it seems the electrical system no longer has full control of the vehicle and that is dangerous. i believe my car is just one of many 2007 jeeps that are having enormous electrical problems, my case just illustrates how dangerous this could be. a car engine running spontaneously is unacceptable and it is clear this is just a symptom of a common problem to all these jeeps. | |||

| I purchased a 2007 jeep commander in october of 2006. at about 2,000 miles, i experienced an electrical failure that caused many gauges to come on or go off. i did lose my headlights & the transmission downshifted. i pulled over, powered off the vehicle & restarted. the vehicle has done this same or similar problem 4 times now. i've filed the lemon law in indiana, but it was denied. the last time i experienced the electrical fault, my seat starting moving forward for a few seconds while i was driving the car. the vehicle has registered fault codes every time that i saved. each time, the dealer can not duplicate & performs computer flash updates in hopes of correcting problem. in my opinion, the vehicle is dangerous to operate. *tr | |||
