Which Jeep Commander years should you avoid?
Going by 2,752 owner complaints filed with NHTSA, the Jeep Commander years to avoid are 2006 and 2007.
- 20061,635 complaints, 5.0× a typical Commander year, most often about the electrical system.
- 2007696 complaints, 2.1× a typical Commander year, most often about the electrical system.
How this is worked out: each year is compared with a typical year of the same model, which takes most of the difference in sales out of it, and its share of serious failures is compared with every other car of the same model year, because older cars were complained about differently. A year needs 25 complaints to be judged at all. Complaints are unverified owner reports. Full method →
