2006 Jeep Commander 4x2

MY CAR LEAKS DURING RAIN FROM THE SUNROOF TO THE BLUE HOSE DRAIN AND FLOODED MY CAR. WHICH MESSED UP THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. I'M HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR SAYING IT'S OVER HEATING BUT IT'S NOT IT'S THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TELLING THE COMPUTER IN CAR THAT IT'S HOW WHEN ITS NOT AND NOW MY TRANSMISSION IS MESSED UP WE THINK. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY AT JEEP DEALER IN CERRITOS, CA FOR 2 DAYS NOW AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHAT WRONG.

ENGINE STALLS AT SPEEDS ABOVE 60 MPH. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAYS AND HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE LAST WEEK.

THE SUNROOF DRAIN DESIGN WAS FAULTY. DURING RAINING WEATHER, THE SUNROOF DRAINS CANNOT HANDLE THE COLLECTED RAIN AND THE RAIN WILL OVERFLOW AND GO INTO THE CAR. THE RAIN THAT OVERFLOWS FALLS INTO THE FRONT PANEL AND HAS CAUSED MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL FAILURES AND SHORTAGES. MOST IMPORTANTLY THE WATER HAS DAMAGED THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND HEADLIGHT CONTROLS WHICH CAUSES THEM TO SHUT OFF WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE.

WHEN CRUISE IS SET CAR EXCELS IN SPEED *TT *TR

FIRST ANNOYANCE WAS THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. IT FAILED TO OPEN THE DOOR AT AROUND 45,000 MILES. THEN THE REAR PASSENGER INSIDE DOOR HANDLE JUST CRUMBLED OUT OF NOWHERE AROUND 47,000 MILES. THEN AROUND 50,000 MILES THE BRAKES 'FELT DIFFERENT' WHEN BRAKING AND IT FELT TO HARD TO PRESS DOWN ON THE PEDAL TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE BRAKE PEDAL FELT HARD AS A ROCK THEN THE ABS WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND AFTER A DIAGNOSIS I WAS TOLD THAT IT HAD TO BE REPLACED. WHENEVER WE WENT THROUGH A PUDDLE OF WATER ON A TURN THE JEEPS STEERING WOULD LOCK UP AND JUST KEPT MOVING FORWARD & NOT TURNING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER 4X2. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOOR HANDLES FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (HOLLYWOOD CHRYSLER JEEP, FT. LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA, 954-399-598) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DOOR PANELS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. LATER, THE REAR DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOOR HANDLES ALSO FRACTURED. THE FAILURES WERE NOT REPAIRED. ADDITIONALLY, THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V438000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 135,000. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

THE A/C INLET FITTING IS DEFECTIVE CAUSING THE COOLANT TO LEAK OUT AND THE ENGINE TO OVERHEAT, THE PCM IS DEFECTIVE AND SAYS THE TIRE PRESSURE IS LOW WHEN IT ISNT

DEFECTIVE VALVE SEAT FELL INTO CYLINDER. MANY COMPLAINTS ON LINE INCLUDING MINE. FULLY MAINTAINED. RAN FINE AND PARKED. WOULDN'T RE-START. HAD IT CHECKED AND THE CYLINDER WAS SHATTERED. GLAD I WASN'T DRIVING ON THE ROADWAY AS THE ENGINE WOULD OF STOPPED AND SO WOULD STEERING AND BRAKES.JEEP WAS IN STORAGE SINCE 2015.

DRIVING UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS THE VEHICLE ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF AND STALLS. THIS HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY, MOSTLY AT SPEEDS OF ABOUT 45-60 MPH. THE TWO RECALLS AVAILABLE ON THE VEHICLE AS IT RELATES TO THIS ISSUE (TCM/PCM ) ( IGNITION SWITCH) HAVE BEEN RECENTLY FIXED BY THE DEARLERSHIP, HOWEVER THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO MULFUNCTION IN THE SAME MANNER AND APPEARS TO BE GETTING WORSE. CONTACTING CHRYSLER, THEY ARE ABRASIVE AND UNCOOPERATIVE. A LITTLE RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL OWNER COMPLAINTS ON THIS VERY ISSUE DATING BACK TO 2006-2007-2008. THERE APPEARS TO BE AN "ACTIVE" INVESTIGATION ONGOING BY THE NHTSA-OFFICE OF DEFECTS INVESTIGATIONS. WHAT IS THE STATUS OF THIS INVESTIGATION-10 YEARS LATER??? THERE APPEARS TO BE NO INTEREST ON THE PART OF THE MANAUFACTURER TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE WITHOUT THE VEHICLE OWNER INCURRING MASSIVE LOSES IN ENDLESS DIAGNOSTIC AND REPAIR EXPENSES.

SEVERAL TIMES OVER A COUPLE OF MONTHS THIS VEHICLE HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS. AUTO SHOPS CANNOT IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM.
