2006 Jeep Commander 4x2 complaints

THE ROOF LEAKS AND WATER FALLS ON THE DRIVER WHILE DRIVING. THE WATER ACCUMULATES AND YOU CAN HEAR WATER SHIFT FROM SIDE TO SIDE WHILE DRIVING ABOVE YOUR HEAD. SEAT BELT DOES NOT WORK. DASHBOARD FLASHES. *TR

WHEN DRIVING VEHICLE JUST STOPS RUNNING COMPLETELY- POWERS DOWN! HAVE TO PUT IN PARK THEN RESTART. HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES AND IS SCARY ESPECIALLY WHEN IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION TURNING AND LOSE POWER STEERING AND CONTROL OF TURNING. *TR

I THINK IT WAS AROUND APRIL 20TH, I WOULD HAVE TO CHECK THE DATE FOR SURE..WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE DOING ABOUT 70 MPH AND THE VEH STARTED LOSING POWER.. IT MADE A TERRIBLE NOISE , SOUNDED IF YOU WERE ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND IT WAS VIBRATING TERRIBLE. IT HAS A TERRIBLE SMELL TOO IT AND LOST TOTAL POWER AND HAD TO PULL OVER. MY HUSBAND GOT OUT AND LOOKED AND THERE WAS OIL POURING OUT OF THE REAR END. THE CAR WOULD HARDLY MOVE AT ALL. WE HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ADVISED THE THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WENT OUT. THE JEEP HAD 62000 ON IT AND LOOKS AND ROAD LIKE A BRAND NEW CAR TILL THEN. WE HAD THAT REPAIRED 750.00 COST. NOWWWWWWWW WE HAVE A TERRIBLE LEAK NOT SURE WHERE IT IS COMING FROM, WHEN IT RAINS WE GET 3 INCHES OF WATER IN THE DRIVERS SIDE FLOOR BOARD, IT LEAKED SO BAD THE WIRING IS SHORTING OUT NOW. THE CARPET IS GETTING MOLDED AND HAS A BAD SMELL TOO IT. WE CAN NOT FIND THE LEAK WHAT SO EVER AND IT IS GETTING RATHER FRUSTRATING HAVING TO HAVE YOUR FEET IN 3 INCHES OF WATER WHEN TRYING TO DRIVE. THE SPEAKERS ON THE LEFT SIDE IF SHORTED OUT ON THE SATELLITE RADIO BUT WILL WORK FINE ON CD'S OR AM FM. THE AIR CONDITION NOW ONLY WORKS GOOD ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND IS WARM ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. *TR

WE HAVE CALLED JEEP TO LET THEM KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE VEHICLE. THE COMPUTER TO THE TRANSMISSION IS PUTTING IN GEARS THAT ARE NOT CORRECT. SOMETIMES U CAN LET GAS GO AND JEEP WILL BE RUNNING 20 TO 30 MILES ON ITS OWN. ALSO YESTERDAY I PUT THE JEEP ON NEUTRAL AND IT WENT REVERSE REAL FAST ABOUT 15 MILES. THE JEEP WAS LEVEL SO NO EXCUSE WHY IT SHOULD BE GOING BACKWARDS ON NEUTRAL. I HAVE CALLED JEEP AND LET THEM KNOW AND THEY TELL ME I HAVE TO TAKE IT TO GET FIXED. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO DO THIS RIGHT NOW. THIS CAN REALLY CAUSE A ACCIDENT IF SOMEONE WAS IN THE BACK OF MY JEEP AT THAT TIME . I TOOK IT TO GET CHECKED AT AUTO ZONE AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS FACTORY CODES AND THEY COULD NOT HELP BUT WHAT THE TRUCK WAS DOING COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

BOUGHT THIS JEEP IN 2007. RECENTLY WHEN I SLOW DOWN TO STOP IT JUMPS AND STALLS OUT. IT HAS BEEN TO THE MECHANIC SEVERAL TIMES AND HE CANNOT FIGURE OUT THE CAUSE. I FOUND A FORUM ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT WHY THIS VEHICLE DOES THIS. *TR

THE GAUGES STOP WORKING: ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS FLASH ON & OFF-- ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, CHECK ENGINE, AIRBAGS, ETC-- SPEEDOMETER & TACHOMETER FLOAT UP AND DOWN IN-SYNC IN A SPORADIC MANNER, TEMP GAUGE FAILS TO REGISTER, TURN SIGNALS/FLASHERS/BRAKE LIGHTS/HEADLIGHTS WORK INTERMITTENTLY, TRANSMISSION SHOWS ALL GEARS ARE ENGAGED, THROWING OVER 30 CODES, BUT STILL DRIVES PERFECTLY FUNCTIONAL MECHANICALLY. (I'VE EVEN TAKEN VIDEO TO SHOW MECHANICS WHEN I GET TO DEALERSHIP SINCE IT NEVER DOES IT WHILE I'M THERE.) ALL THE SAME SYMPTOMS, DIFFERENT FIX EACH TIME. 4/11/13: POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE REPLACED @94166 MILES 4/29/13: IGNITION CONTROL REPLACED @95,824 MILES 5/6/13: FRONT CONTROL MODULE REPLACED @96319 MILES. *TR

WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND WAS ACCELERATING TO ABOUT 55MPH, WHEN MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER STOPPED ACCELERATING AND HAD APPARENTLY JUMPED INTO NEUTRAL. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO CAME ON AT THAT TIME. I HAD TO PULL OVER PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND THEN BACK INTO DRIVE, AND THEN IT WAS FINE. THIS EXACT SAME THING HAS OCCURRED ABOUT 3-4 TIMES. ALWAYS WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOING OFF SOON AFTER. *TR

I EXPLAINED THE PREVIOUS EVENING I NOTICED STEERING DID NOT SEEM RIGHT AND I HAD TO PUSH ON GAS MORE TO GET THE CAR TO HAVE POWER. I MENTIONED THIS TO MY HUSBAND IN CASE IT WAS TIME TO CHECK SPARK PLUGS AND GET A TUNE UP. THE NEXT MORNING I WENT THROUGH A CAR WASH AND STARTED A 30 MILE COMMUTE. WHILE DRIVING 65-70 MPH ON A HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE LIGHTS AND ALL POWER SHUT DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. THE ONLY THING WORKING WAS THE RADIO. NO BRAKES, STEERING WAS DIFFERENT. THANKFULLY THIS TIME WAS ABLE TO PULL TO A SHOULDER AND COAST TO AN OFFRAMP. I COASTED TO A STOP, PUT IN PARK THEN TRIED TO START. THE VEHICLE STARTED AGAIN AND I DROVE STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP 4 MILES AWAY. I EXPLAINED TO THE DEALER AND ALSO CALLED THE MAKER OF THE VEHICLES RECALL DEPT. THEY OPENED A CASE. AT THIS POINT NO ONE HAS ANY IDEA WHAT HAPPENED AND THE ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT. THEY CANNOT REPLICATE AND I HAVE NOT HAD MY CAR FOR 6 DAYS. I HAVE RESEARCHED THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO AND MOST PEOPLE BECOME A MIDDLE MAN BETWEEN THE DEALER, THE WARRANTY COMPANY, AND NO RESOLUTION IS EVER MADE. MANY BECAME FRUSTRATED AND SOLD AND CUT THEIR LOSSES. THEY CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND IT CONTINUED TO HAPPEN. I AM NOT CLEAR ON THE STATISTICS BUT I READ ONE BLOG THAT STATED THIS INCIDENT HAS CAUSED 2 ACCIDENTS. I HAVE SURVIVED CANCER AND I HAVE 3 CHILLDREN. I CANNOT CONSIOUSLY DRIVE THE VEHICLE AGAIN. I AM THANKFUL THIS DID NOT HAPPEN DRIVING UPHILL ON A DARK MOUNTAINSIDE. WE HAD PLANNED A TRIP

THERE ARE REPORTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE WITH JEEP COMMANDERS. THIS NEEDS TO BE REVIEWED FOR RECALL AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE CHECK PARK ASSIST WARNING STARTED TO FLASH INTERMITTENTLY WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION. WHEN THIS OCCURRED, ALL GEAR INDICATORS ON THE DASH WOULD LIGHT UP AT THE SAME TIME. THERE WAS INITIALLY NO OTHER INDICATION THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. EVENTUALLY, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE DEALER DIAGNOSED IT AS NEEDING A NEW TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. THE SAME EVENTS OCCURRED WITHIN 2 WEEKS OF INSTALLING THE NEW MODULE. DEALER REPLACED IT AGAIN AND SAID THE PART WAS FAULTY. THE SAME EVENTS OCCURRED AGAIN WITH THE NEXT MONTH. DEALER WAS UNABLE TO FIND A PROBLEM AND RESET THE COMPUTER/WIPED THE ERROR. IT OCCURRED AGAIN AND PROGRESSED TO THE CAR LOOSING ACCELERATING POWER WHILE DRIVING AND/OR SHIFTING IN TO LOWER GEARS FOR NO REASON. NEW DEALER THIS TIME, SAYS THAT IT IS THE SHIFTING CONTROL MODULE. REVIEW OF THE ISSUE ON-LINE SHOWS A LONG HISTORY OF THIS PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH I AM FORTUNATE ENOUGH NOT TO HAVE IT HAPPEN WITHIN A FEW YEARS OF OWNERSHIP. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT CAN CAUSE INJURY TO PASSENGERS WHEN THE CAR SHIFTS DOWN AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND/OR ACCIDENTS BECAUSE THE DRIVER NO LONGER HAS CONTROL OF ACCELERATION. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR IT SIMPLY CUT OFF - WENT DEAD. I HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD WITH NO POWER STEERING. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH THIS VEHICLE. ONCE OFF THE ROAD - I AM ABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTART. THIS HAPPENS FOR NO REASON. I HAVE HAD THE CAR IN THE SHOP SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO EXPLANATION WHAT IS HAPPENING. *TR

I HAVE HAD 3 DOOR HANDLES BREAK SINCE OWNING THIS VEHICLE. ALL OF THEM CRACKED BEHIND THE HANDLE, WITH 2 OF THOSE 3 ALREADY COMPLETELY BUSTED. AT THIS POINT THOSE 2 OF THE 3 HANDLES ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO SIT THE HANDLE JUST RIGHT ON THE INSIDE EDGE. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY. JEEP DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE HANDLE, AND WANTED $850/PER DOOR TO FIX! YOU CAN'T JUST REPLACE THE HANDLE, YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE DOOR PANEL. THIS IS A MAJOR DESIGN FLAW ON JEEP'S PART, AND SHOULD BE FIXED. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL. EVERYONE IN MY FAMILY KNOWS HOW TO OPEN THE DOOR IN CALM CONDITIONS, BUT IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT/PANIC SITUATION I'M NOT SURE WE COULD THINK CLEARLY ENOUGH TO OPERATE THEM. SCARY!! I'M NOT COMFORTABLE HAVING PEOPLE RIDE WITH ME, AS I HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THEIR SAFETY AND SAFETY CONCERNS WHEN I SHOW THEM HOW TO USE THE HANDLES. THIS NEEDS FIXING BY JEEP!! *TR

DOOR HANDLES ON JEEP COMMANDER HAVE A FACTORY DEFECT IN MANUFACTURING OF THE DOOR HANDLE CARRIER CUP ON THE INSIDE OF THE DOOR PANALS. THIS IS DUE TO A POOR PLASTIC MATRIX RESULTING IN EMBRITTLEMENT. *TR THIS RESULTS IN OCCUPANTS BEING UNABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE ON VARIOUS JEEP FORUMS AND FOUND IT TO BE A UNIVERSAL PROBLEM. IT IS TIME FOR NTHSA TO HOLD CHRYSLER RSPONSIBLE FOR THIS FLAW AND ISSUE A SAFETY RECALL. I USE THIS VEHICLE TO CARRY MY CHILDREN AND IT WILL COST OVER $2000 TO REPLACE THE 4 DOOR PANELS, THE ONLY FIX.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER 4X2. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE WAS SITTING AT A TRAFFIC STOP WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE FUNCTIONED NORMALLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON ANOTHER OCCASION. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO TURN THE ENGINE SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THE VEHICLE WOULD START. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION BUT HE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOOR HANDLES WERE CRACKED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DOORS WERE ABLE TO BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE BUT THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR COULD NOT BE OPENED FROM THE INTERIOR. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT TO CALL THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED BUT PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE.

I AM HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY HEAD LIGHTS FLASHING AND MY DASH BOARD FLASHING ON AND OFF AND IT IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN IT HAPPENS AT NIGHT BCZ MY LIGHTS GO ON AND OFF MAKING IT HARD TO DRIVE AND TO FOCUS ON THE ROAD.MY SEAT BELTS FALLING APART AND NOT WANTING TO LATCH AND IS HARD TO GET IT APART WHEN IT DOES.NOT SURE WHAT IS GOING ON BUT ANY HELPFUL ADVISE WOULD BE APPRECIATED. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER 4X2. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE CONTACT APPLIED THE BRAKE PEDAL TWICE BEFORE A RESPONSE OCCURRED AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO REDUCE SPEED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED SPONTANEOUSLY. IN ADDITION, THE ENGINE WOULD STALL WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY BEING DIAGNOSED BY AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THERE WAS A RECALL UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 08V203000 (POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE,TCM, PCM). THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN WHETHER THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DEFECT AND PLANNED TO NOTIFY THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

THE FRONT AND REAR DOOR HANDLES CRACKED, AND DON'T WORK. IF MY CHILD OR THE DRIVER NEEDS TO GET OUT THEY CANT. MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP IN ORLANDO FLORIDA, WANTS ME TO PAY $750 FOR EACH. THIS IS CRAZY..... HOW CAN A HANDLE COST THAT. JEEP SHOULD REPLACE THIS FAULTY ISSUE NOT ME, I PAID ENOUGH FOR THE CAR. I HAVE OWNED 3 JEEPS IN MY LIFE. THIS WILL BE THE LAST. *JS

THE SAME DAY I PURCHASED MY USED 2006 JEEP COMMANDER, I WAS ATTEMPTING TO OPEN THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR FROM THE INSIDE WHEN THE TRIM AROUND THE HANDLE CRACKED AND A PIECE OF PLASTIC FLEW OFF. THE HANDLE NOW DANGLES, USELESS AND LOOSE. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THEY HAD ALSO JUST REPLACED THE DRIVER'S DOOR PANEL PRIOR TO OUR PURCHASE, HAVING ENCOUNTERED THE VERY SAME PROBLEM WITH THAT DOOR. UNFORTUNATELY, IT APPEARS THAT THESE REPAIRS REQUIRE REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE INTERIOR DOOR PANEL WHENEVER THE HANDLE BREAKS...I'M BEING TOLD IT IS A $700 REPAIR. *TR

ALL FOUR INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES AND PLASTIC AROUND THE DOOR HANDLES ARE BEGINNING TO CRACK AND BREAK. THE PLASTIC INDENT UNDERNEATH THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES HAS BECOME EXTREMELY BRITTLE AND WILL CRACK IF YOU BARELY TOUCH IT. THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR HANDLE HAS BROKEN FROM THE INSIDE OF THE DOOR PANEL AND ALL THE PLASTIC SURROUNDING THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE HAS BEGUN BREAKING AND FALLING INSIDE THE DOOR PANEL. I HAVE THOROUGHLY RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON COMPLAINT AND WAS SURPRISED THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL NOTICE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS. INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ARE EXTREMELY FRAGILE AND CAN EASILY BREAK OFF WHICH WOULD PREVENT SOMEONE FROM ESCAPING THE VEHICLE IN AN EMERGENCY. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT TO REPAIR THE DOOR HANDLE, THE ENTIRE DOOR PANEL NEEDS TO BE REPLACED (AT APPROXIMATELY $600 INCLUDING PARTS AND LABOR). THIS DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE ISSUE WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN AS THEY HAVE NOT MADE ANY CHANGES TO THE DOOR PANELS TO PREVENT IT FROM DOING SO. $2400 TO REPAIR THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLES OF MY VEHICLE WITH NO ASSURANCE THAT IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN SEEMS TO BE IMMORAL AND ILLEGAL. *TR

DOOR PULL INTERA ALL PULL OFF DOOR PANEL WILL NOT WORK TO GOT OUT CAR HAVE TO OPEN DOOR FROM OUT SIDE *TT

SEAT BELTS GETS HUNG UP IN DOOR JAM DOOR DOES NOT RETRACE. *TT

THE CUPS INSIDE THE HANDLES OF BOTH OF THE BACK DOORS OF MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER ARE BROKEN TO PIECES. ALTHOUGH THIS MAY SOUND LIKE A COSMETIC ISSUE, YESTERDAY, MY 13 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER THREW UP ALL OVER THE INSIDE OF THE TRUCK BECAUSE WHEN WE PULLED OVER FOR HER TO THROW UP, SHE WAS COMPLETELY UNABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR!!! I CANNOT SAY HOW ANGRY I AM AT THIS SCENARIO. I AM UPSET BECAUSE I HAVE TO CLEAN THE CAR, BUT AM FURIOUS BECAUSE, HAD THIS BEEN AN EVACUATION SITUATION, SHE COULD HAVE DIED! I CONTACTED MY JEEP DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WILL BE OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE DOOR PANELS IN THE BACK. I'M SORRY, BUT THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL!!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER 4X2. THE CONTACT STATED THAT BOTH FRONT INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES, WHICH WERE PLASTIC, WERE CRACKED. IN ADDITION, THE REAR PASSENGER INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE FRACTURED. THE DEFECTIVE DOOR HANDLES PREVENTED THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS FROM EXITING THROUGH THE DOORS. THE AUTOMATED WINDOW WAS RELEASED IN AN OPEN POSITION AND THE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES WERE ENGAGED IN ORDER TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. THE AUTHORIZED DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

I OWN A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER, AND HAVE 3 DOORS IN WHICH THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE BEZEL HAS BROKEN. BY RESEARCHING PRICE OF REPAIR, I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS ACTUALLY A VERY COMMON ISSUE. I WAS TOLD BY MY DEALERSHIP THAT IT WAS MY OWN FAULT FOR BEING TOO ROUGH ON MY DOOR HANDLES, HOWEVER I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLE I'VE OWNED. I HAVE 3 DAUGHTERS RANGING IN AGE FROM 18 MONTHS TO 14 YEARS, AND I DOUBT THEY SHOULD BE STRONG ENOUGH TO BREAK DOOR HANDLES. I'M REPORTING THIS AS I FEEL THIS IS A DEFECT FROM THE MANUFACTURER, IN LIGHT OF THE MULTITUDE OF EXAMPLES I'M FINDING ON THE INTERNET, AND IN TALKING TO OTHER COMMANDER OWNERS. THIS IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE, SINCE IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY, MY DAUGHTERS MAY NOT BE ABLE TO OPEN THE DOORS. EXAMPLES OF THIS ISSUE: HTTP://WWW.JEEPCOMMANDER.COM/FORUMS/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=2858&PAGE=1 HTTP://WWW.JEEPCOMMANDER.COM/FORUMS/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=15893&HIGHLIGHT=DOOR+HANDLE *KB

JEEP COMMANDER 2006 V8 4.7 -ENGINE STALLS WHILE DRIVING WITH 65 MI/H ON THE FREEWAY!!!IN THE PAST HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WHEN STOPPING ON A RED LIGHTS,BUT YESTERDAY HAPPENED AT A FREEWAY SPEED! I WILL NOT DRIVE MY CHILDREN WITH THIS VEHICLE UNTIL CHRYSLER FIX THE PROBLEM.I HAVE FILED COMPLAINT WITH THE COMPANY FEW WEEKS AGO ABOUT STALLING ON STOP LIGHTS AND THEY SAID THAT I NEED TO SHOW THE SERVICE PERSON THE PROBLEM ,BUT THAT VERY DAY THE VEHICLE WAS IN A GOOD MOOD AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO SHOW THE PROBLEM.THE CHRYSLER PERSON TOLD ME THAT THEY WILL PUT MY CASE ON HOLD FOR NOW( I GUESS THEY WILL LOOK INTO IT AFTER THE BLOODY CRASH). IF I SURVIVE THIS JEEP AND ITS TIME FOR A NEW CAR I WILL REMEMBER ALL THIS...MEAN TIME I WILL INFORM TEN THOUSAND OF MY CLOSEST FRIENDS ABOUT MY RUSSIAN ROULETTE WITH JEEP COMMANDER. TODAY I DROVE THE VEHICLE TO CHRYSLER,JEEP DEALER IN DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES AND I SEE HOW THIS ONE GOES... BEST REGARDS AND THANK YOU *TR

MY 2006 JEEP COMANNDER IS EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS LISTED BY MANY OWNERS, DELAYED TRANMISSION ENGAGEMENT, WARNING LIGHTS FLASHING ON & OFF, WON'T START. IT HAS STALLED ONCE. I HAVE CHECKED MY VIN # FOR RECALLS AND IT'S NOT ON ANY LIST. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE AND HAVE NO OTHER TRANPORTATION. THE DEALER I CONTACTED HAS NOT HEARD ABOUT THE FLASHING LIGHT PROBLEM AND HAS NOT GOT BACK TO ME AFTER GIVING HIM MY VIN #. I AM ALSO EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS, ALTHOUGH NOT LIFE THREATENING, THEY SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING TO A $40,000 VEHICLE; WHISTLING WINDOWS, THE SIDE OF MY DRIVERS SEAT BROKE OFF AND IT CONTAINS THE ELECTRICAL CORDS FOR MY SEAT, THE WINDOWS DON'T OPREATE PROPERLY. I DID NOT THINK ANY OF THESE THINGS TO BE OF CONSEQUENSE UNTIL I STARTED RESEARCHING MY INTERIOR LIGHT PROBLEM. *TR

2006 JEEP COMMANDER - VEHICLE STALLING BEFORE ACCELERATION, POWER-STEERING BECAME DIFFICULT: BETWEEN 24,000 - 30,000 MILES, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO STALL AND THE MOTOR HAS COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE INCIDENT. NO ACTIONS WERE TAKEN AT THE DEALERSHIP. WE WERE TOLD IF IT DOES NOT HAPPEN WHILE AT THE DEALER, THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. THE VEHICLE JUST REACHED 30,000 MILES AND THE POWER STEERING IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY MORE DIFFICULT. A SCRUBBING AND LOUD NOISE CAN BE HEARD WHILE TURNING THE WHEEL TO THE RIGHT. THE VEHICLE IS SCHEDULED TO BE LOOKED AT BY THE SAME DEALERSHIP. *TR

DASHBOARD LIGHTS UP WHILE DRIVING, ENGINE STALLS, THEN STARTS UP AGAIN. INTERMITTENT. *TR

INTERIOR DOOR PANELS BREAK AT THE DOOR HANDLE LOCATION LEAVING THE DOOR HANDLE INOPERABLE AND THE PASSENGER UNABLE TO OPEN THE VEHICLE DOOR. THIS IS A PROBLEM ON ALL FOUR PASSENGER DOORS. *TR

2006 JEEP COMMANDER. INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH THE DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS ALL COMING ON AT SLOW SPEED. DEALER CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THERE IS NOW CODE SHOWING THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. PROBLEM ONLY HAPPENS AT SLOW OR IDLE SPEEDS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WARNINGS. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND WAS RESTARTED . THE TECHNICIAN COULD NOT LOCATE ANY ERROR CODES, NOR DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,000.

2006 JEEP COMMANDER STALLS OUT. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ALL ELECTRICAL WENT AND STEERING LOCKED UP. PUT BACK IN PARK AND CRANKED UP. I HAVE ALREADY HAD THE PCM FLASHED WITH NEW SOFTWARE. AND IT STILL DOES IT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER OUT A PARKING LOT AND IT LOST COMPLETE POWER. IT STARTED STALLING AND I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY I HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THE PCM UPDATED AND THAT AFFECTED THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE. I DID SOME RESEARCH AFTER SPEAKING WITH THEM AND IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM ON THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE AND EVEN A RECALL (#08V20300). *TR

I DRIVE A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER LIMITED V8 AND IT HAS A TENDENCY TO STALL FOR NO REASON. IT HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH AND I HAVE READ THAT MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR COMMANDERS OF THE SAME YEAR MODEL. FORTUNATELY I HAVE NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE STALLING, HOWEVER, IT DOES IT AT ALL SPEEDS AND WHEN IT HAPPENS I LOSE ALL POWER. *TR

I LEASED MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER 4X2 4.7 V8 IN 2006. THE VEHICLE BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS THE SAME DAY I BROUGHT IT HOME. THE VEHICLE STALLS FREQUENTLY AND THE ELECTRIC SYSTEM DISABLES. THE STALLING OCCURS WITHOUT WARNING. THE STALLING ALSO OCCURS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND WHILE THE VEHICLE IS NOT MOVING. WHEN THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF, THE VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY DISABLED. THE BRAKES WONT WORK AND I LOSE TOTAL CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE. I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT IN 2007 DUE TO THIS ISSUE, JEEP/CHRYSLER HAS DENIED THE REPAIR EVEN THOUGH I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER. THE ODOMETER IS ALSO INCORRECT, IT CHANGES NUMBERS FREQUENTLY. CHRYSLER INFORMED ME THAT THE VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE AND DENIED ANY FURTHER REPAIRS CONCERNING THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE IS STILL THE SAME, IT STALLS VERY OFTEN. PLEASE HELP ME. *TR

2006 JEEP COMMANDER STALLS AT NO PARTICULAR TIME, ROLLS BACK ON AN INCLINE AFTER TAKING FOOT OFF BRAKE PEDAL, VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF AT NO PARTICULAR TIME. JEEP HAS RECALLS FOR THESE PROBLEMS BUT THE VIN SAYS NONE IS AVAILABLE THEREFORE DEALER WILL NOT PERFORM RECALL. RECALL IS FOR THE V8 MODEL BUT THE VEHICLE HAS THE EXACT SAME TRANSMISSION AND HAS THE SAME CHARACTERISTICS EVEN THOUGH IT IS A V6 MODEL. VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE WHILE HAVING THESE PROBLEMS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER 4X2. WHILE DRIVING 30-60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND LOST POWER WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED IN TRAFFIC ONCE AND THE CONTACT BELIEVES THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE A CRASH COULD HAVE OCCURRED. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER PRIOR TO RECEIVING A RECALL NOTICE, BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE RECALL NUMBER WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 23,305 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER 4X2. WATER DRAINS IN FROM THE SUNROOF, DOWN INTO THE DASHBOARD, AND THEN ONTO THE FRONT AND REAR CARPET. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE CAN HEAR THE WATER WHILE DRIVING. THE COILS UNDERNEATH BOTH FRONT SEATS HAVE RUSTED DUE TO THE WATER ENTERING THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT DOES NOT KNOW WHAT KIND OF DAMAGE THE WATER HAS CAUSED TO THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. HE STATED THAT THERE ARE TWO DRAINS ON EACH SIDE OF THE SUNROOF, AND THEY ARE NOT DRAINING THE WATER PROPERLY. THE FIRST TIME THE DRIVER'S SIDE DRAIN FAILED, THE DEALER STATED THAT A BUG WAS STUCK IN THE DRAIN. THE SECOND TIME, THE DEALER STATED THAT DIRTY RAIN WATER WAS IN THE PASSENGER DRAIN. IN ADDITION, THE AIR CONDITIONER FAN HAS BEGUN TO FLUTTER. THIS FAILURE HAS OCCURRED TWICE. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE SUNROOF DURING THE FIRST VISIT, AND THE CONTACT MADE THE REPAIR THE SECOND TIME. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 7,500 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000.

WE OWN A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER THAT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FROM THE FIRST MONTH WE OWNED IT. THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN MY WIFE AND 3 CHILDREN WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AT 65 MPH. THE VEHICLE HAS CONSISTENTLY EXPERIENCED THE SAME CHALLENGE AT LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS. IN ADDITION, WE HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR ISSUES AS OTHER OWNERS SUCH AS; TRANSMISSION NOISES AND SLIPPAGE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURES, EXCESSIVE BREAK NOISE, BREAK WEAR, EXCESSIVE CRACKING IN WINDSHIELD, SEATBELT FAILURE, WINDOW LEAKS, STEREO REPLACEMENT AND MORE! IN THE LAST 9 MONTHS THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR MORE THAN 6 TIMES FOR SIMILAR ISSUES. THE DEALER, AS WITH OTHER CUSTOMERS HAS CLAIMED THEY "CAN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM..." AND SENT US ON OUR WAY. I HAVE NOW EMBARKED UPON HAVING THE VEHICLE BOUGHT BACK BY THE MANUFACTURER AND WILL ALSO BEGIN A FORMAL LEGAL CASE TO ENSURE OTHER OWNERS RECEIVE RETRIBUTION. THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS AND THE MANUFACTURER IS AWARE OF THESE PROBLEMS, YOU ARE NOT CRAZY AND THE DEALERS ARE COVERING IT UP! *TR

OUR 2006 JEEP COMMANDER V8 4.7L HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING AT LEAST 5 TIMES. 3 TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY AND TWICE ON SLOW TURNS. INITIALLY THE PROBLEM SEEMED RELATED TO THE IGNITION SWITCH. JUST A SLIGHT BRUSH AGAINST THE KEY WAS ENOUGH TO KILL THE ENGINE AND SOME OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS (SPECIFICALLY POWER ASSIST). WHILE OUT OF TOWN DURING THIS PAST CHRISTMAS THE THIRD HIGHWAY FAILURE AND FIRST SLOW TURN FAILURE OCCURRED. THE OUT OF TOWN DEALER REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH. ANOTHER SLOW TURN FAILURE OCCURRED ON MARCH 20, 2008, WHERE THE DISABLED POWER ASSIST HAD MY WIFE VEERING INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. WE HAD THE DEALER PICK UP THE CAR AT OUR HOME. THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED THAT THIS WAS THE FIFTH COMMANDER HE HAD PERSONALLY SEEN WITH THIS ISSUE. THE CURRENT FIX WAS TO UPGRADE THE FIRMWARE OF THE ENGINE CONTROLLER UNIT. I ASKED FOR AND RECEIVED THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS REPAIR (CASE NUMBER K23158981, STAR ON LINE NUMBER: 18190602 0.4). THE BULLETIN DID NOT MENTION THE ROOT CAUSE FOR THIS ISSUE AND THE RECOMMENDATION ONLY STATES THAT THE ENGINE CONTROLLER SHOULD BE FLASHED. I ASKED FOR FURTHER TECHNICAL DETAILS IN HOPES OF FINDING SOME CONFIDENCE THAT THIS ISSUE HAS TRULY BEEN DIAGNOSED AND FIXED, BUT WAS TOLD THAT NO MORE INFORMATION WAS AVAILABLE. THE SERVICE MANAGER WAS FAIRLY CONFIDENT THAT THE ISSUE WOULD BE RESOLVED WITH THIS FIX, BUT HE COULD NOT BE CERTAIN. FRANKLY, THAT'S JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH WITH THIS KIND OF SAFETY CONCERN. WE ARE AT 39K MILES AND OUT OF

THE VEHICLE SPONTANOUSLY SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. *TR

DURING SEPT. '06, I INFORMED CHRYSLER AND A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP OF A SAFETY DEFECT--STALLING IN TRAFFIC--WITH MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER LIMITED . FROM SEPT. '06 TO DEC. '07, I MADE SEVERAL PHONE CALLS AND WROTE SEVERAL LETTERS TO CHRYSLER (VIA ITS REGISTERED AGENT) CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM. ALL OF MY LETTERS WERE IGNORED. FROM SEPT. '06 TO DEC. '07, CHRYSLER REQUIRED ME TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP CONCERNING THE STALLING PROBLEM, EVEN THOUGH CHRYSLER'S EMPLOYEES KNEW A TASK FORCE HAD BEEN FORMED TO DEAL WITH THE PROBLEM. IN LATE DEC. '07, I DISCOVERED AN INTERNET ARTICLE ENTITLED "JEEP STALLING PROBLEM" AND FAXED THE ARTICLE TO CHRYSLER. ACCORDING TO THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS ARTICLE, MANY CUSTOMERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE 2006 JEEP COMMANDER LIMITED, AND EVEN CHRYSLER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE. AS A RESULT OF GAINING ACCESS TO THIS ARTICLE, I WAS ABLE TO CHALLENGE CHRYSLER'S DISHONEST ASSERTION THAT MY PROBLEM WAS UNIQUE AND THAT NO OTHER CONSUMER HAD COMPLAINED OF THIS PROBLEM. THEREFORE, IN JAN. '08, A CHRYSLER MANAGER PHONED ME INDICATING THAT CHRYSLER HAD AGREED TO BUY BACK MY VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE STALLING PROBLEM AND A RESULTING AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT (SEPT. '07)(NOTE:THIS ACCIDENT OCCURRED ONE YEAR AFTER CHRYSLER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE SAFETY ISSUE). I WAS TOLD A REPRESENTATIVE OF IMPARTIAL SERVICES GROUP (ISG) WOULD GIVE ME A CALL CONCERNING DETAILS OF THE BUY BACK. I RECEIVED A CALL FROM ISG; HOWEVER, IT IS CLEAR THAT THIS

4.7L JEEP COMMANDER 06 STALLING DURING IDLE AND DRIVING. *TR

MY JEEP COMMANDER HAS SHUT OFF ON A FEW OCCASION IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. MOST RECENTLY IT SHUT OFF GOING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH WHILE GOING DOWN A STEEP HILL. ALL GAUGES, GAS POWER, AND AIR TURNED OFF THE RADIO WAS STILL ON. IT HAPPENS INFREQUENTLY AND NOT IN CONJUNCTION WITH ANY OTHER ACTION THAT I KNOW OF. *TR

SEVERAL TIME OUR 2006 JEEP COMMANDER HAS SHUT OFF FOR NO REASON. 4 TIMES WHILE TURNING INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THIS ISSUE CAN KILL SOMEBODY. *TR

2006 JEEP COMMANDER ENGINE DIES SUDDENLY. TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. PROBLEMS OCCURRED AT LEAST 14 TIMES AND 7 TIMES IN THE LAST 90 DAYS. FIRST OCCURRED AT 2500 MILES AND DEALER SAID NOTHING WRONG. OCCURRED AT 8000, 9000, 12000, 15100, 15500, 17500, 18600, 18700, 19000 AND 19406. AT 17500 TOOK TO DIFFERENT DEALER WHO REPLACED THE BATTERY AFTER TOWING IT IN AND KEPT CAR FOR 4 DAYS TO TRY AND DIAGNOSE ISSUE. ON 12/8, WE SMELLED GAS AND WE COULD NOT RESTART IT FOR 30 SECONDS. ON 12/21 IT DIED ON A RAILROAD CROSSING. MY WIFE CROSSES 6 TRACKS A DAY AND IT HAS DIED ONE OTHER TIME ON THE TRACKS, AND ONE TIME WHILE MERGING INTO 65 MPH TRAFFIC. HAVE SPENT 1 HOUR ON PHONE WITH CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE SO FAR BECAUSE I TOLD THEM WE ONLY DRIVE IT TO WORK AND WE WANT A LOANER OR NEW VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY. AM ALSO PROCEEDING WITH TEXAN LEMON LAW FILING. THIS LOOKS LIKE NHTSA#EA07007. *TR

JEEP COMMANDER HAD SIGNIFICANT FAILURES. COMMAND MODULE CAUSED VEHICLE TO LOSE ALL POWER AND CONTROL WHILE TRAVELING IN HEAVY HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC. SUB FRAME MIS MANUFACTURED CAUSING VEHICLE TO OUT OF SERVICE FOR OVER 2 WEEKS. BRAKE ROTORS WARPED CAUSING REDUCED BRAKING. *TR

JEEP COMMANDER STALLS WHEN SLOWING, OR PARKED. THERE HAS ALSO BEEN ONE OCCASION WHERE THE VEHICLE STALLED ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS JUST SERVICED ON THE 6TH OF DECEMBER AND THE DEALERSHIP "COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE", HOWEVER SINCE I HAVE GOT THE VEHICLE BACK IT HAS BEEN WORSE. *TR

2006 JEEP COMMANDERS ENGINE STALLS AND HEADLIGHTS GO OUT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, AT WHICH TIME THEY ADVISED THAT THEY COULD NOT HELP ME. THEY SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO SEE IT HAPPEN...LIKE WHEN MY LIGHTS WENT OUT ON A DARK FREEWAY ALMOST KILLING ME AND MY HUSBAND. *TR
