2006 Jeep Commander

Defect. This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, drivers should adjust their seat to allow clearance between the driver's knee and the ignition key, and remove all items from their key ring, leaving only the vehicle key. Chrysler Group LLC (Chrysler) is recalling certain model year 2005-2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles manufactured February 11, 2004, to July 5, 2007, and 2006-2007 Jeep Commander vehicles manufactured January 31, 2005, to July 5, 2007. In the affected vehicles, the driver may accidentally hit the ignition key with their knee, unintentionally knocking the key out of the run position, turning off the engine.

Risk. If the ignition key inadvertently moves into the OFF or ACCESSORY position, the engine will turn off, which will then depower various key safety systems including but not limited to air bags, power steering, and power braking. Loss of functionality of these systems may increase the risk of crash and/or increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.

Remedy. Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ignition switch, free of charge. Chrysler sent interim notifications to owners in September 2014. The recall began on October 9, 2015. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is P41.

Radiator coolant system failed and caused the engine to overheat and loss of power while traveling on an interstate highway. Pulled over to side of highway. The vehicle was towed to a private mechanic shop. The shop evaluated the engine could not start as it had seized from overheating. It was determined that the radiator plastic end caps suddenly failed causing the engine to overheat and seize. The radiator temperature is very high and the plastic and aluminum materials expand and contract at different rates therefore weakening the connection between the two materials until the part fails. This is a bad design, application, and mix of materials in a part that does follow the basic principles of thermodynamics.

Ignition switch

Transmission over temp is a never ending light that lights up daily. I've had 3 reprogrammed PCMs and the ECM replaced as well. The car was also reprogrammed at the dealership twice with the results the same. It will work for a couple days then right back to the original issue and including a few more. Recently the trans over temp came on and stalled in rush hour traffic. Resulting in a almost serious accident. Several attempts made to restart the car. Started and stalled immediately. After the 4th time and reving the engine very hard it stayed running. I've called the recall line on this and several other recalls (1 that was under warranty) with no resolution. This is now a safety issue for me and others on the road. This car is a lemon and should be taken off the road. I've waisted money at the dealership being charged over $300 each time to reprogrammed with no improvement. Bought 3 PCMs at $1200 each. I replaced almost everything under the hood and car with no positive results.

Ignition switch recall which was issued on my jeep commander was addressed and ultimately an appointment was made upon availability. However, since the recall, the jeep will not function normally upon initial start up attempt progressively into more attempts thereafter. Connection between key switch and cylinder not responding to connection, lack thereof. This occurred at first seldom to more and more random periodic "no signal, no start". Recalls are supposed to fix the initial severe problem, correct? Not result into another problem that wasn't present before, right? Found my time fruitless in getting clarity of this issue resolved from dealer. What can I do? What should be done? As the consumer we will feel the job done wasn't done correctly. Fact is there were not any start up issues prior to the recall addressed and ignition switch replaced/fixed?

2006 Jeep Commander Limited 5.7L V8 Message as appears on dash - TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP While driving a short distance the message TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP appears, the fan kicks on HIGH & is very loud, and it feels like the transmission disengages like being thrown into neutral, but is still drivable. About 2 weeks prior, I noticed smoke coming out from under hood & the engine coolant tank was almost empty. There were no visible leaks on carport. I refilled the tank & immediately called Kilby Automotive repair shop, then took it in. They said that the radiator cap needed to be replaced. The also said the valve cover gasket was leaking.

I took it into Kilby Automotive on May 27, 2021. They said it was a faulty transmission temperature sensor, but they could not repair. They have done a lot of repairs on the vehicle for several years. I called Ultimate Luxury Auto Service explaining the issue. The man said that he could put a new sensor in & there is a broken transmission mount. He replaced the sensor. Fix mount later. When I was driving home, the same message appeared & the fan kicked on as before. I messaged the shop & took the vehicle back in.

WORST VEHICLE EVER! WE GOT IT WITH AROUND 98K MILES ON IT, AND IT NOW ONLY HAS 103K MILES ON IT AND IN THE LAST 4K WE'VE PUT OVER $5K INTO IT TRYING TO GET IT TO RUN. WE HAD TO PUT A NEW TRANSMISSION IN ($2K) AND HAVE THE LIFTERS IN THE ENGINE REPLACED ($2,600). CURRENTLY IT'S BEEN SHUTTING OFF ON ITS OWN A FEW SECONDS AFTER I START IT AND GIVING RANDOM "TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP" AND "SERVICE 4X4 SYSTEM" MESSAGES EVEN THOUGH THERE'S NOT A PROBLEM WITH THOSE SYSTEMS. I TURN THE KEY, IT RUNS FOR 3 SECONDS, THEN SHUTS OFF. SOMETIMES IT DOES THIS SEVERAL TIMES IN A ROW AND THEN WON'T START AT ALL. OTHER TIMES IT STARTS FINE SO IT'S RIDICULOUSLY HARD TO DIAGNOSE. SOMETIMES WHEN IT'S DOING IT'S SHUT DOWN BIT, YOU CAN GET IT TO STAY ON A LITTLE LONGER BY REVVING THE ENGINE, AND IT WILL LET YOU PULL OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, BUT THEN SHUTS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. THE SUN ROOF LEAKS HORRIFICALLY, EVEN AFTER I'VE TRIED THE "CLIP THE NIPPLES OFF THE BOTTOM OF THE HOSES" TRICK.

WHILE DRIVING THE 2006 KEEP COMMANDER THE VEHICLE WILL START STALLING FROM DRIVING AS YOU PRESS THE GAS IT WILL NOT PULL AND MAKE A LOUD NOISE AND TURN OFF. THERE WAS A LOT OF SMOKE THAT CAME FROM THE HOOD OF THE CAR. WHEN YOU TRY TO START IT BACK UP IT WILL NOT START AND KEEP MAKING A WEIRD NOISE LIKE IT'S OUT OF GAS. THE GAS TANK IS FULL AND IT STILL WANT START. THE TRUCK WAS TOWED TO A MECHANICAL SHOP AND THEY ADVISED ME IT WAS A BAD ENGINE.

TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP KEEPS APPEARING AFTER FLUID, SHIFT SOLENOID, AND FILTERS HAVE BEEN CHANGED. SHIFT SOLENOIDS WHERE NEW FROM CHRYSLER AND STILL IT STATES TRANSMISSION IS OVER TEMP.

WHILE DRIVING I SMELT PLASTIC BURNING AND THE FLOOR IN THE BACKSEAT WAS ON FIRE. WITHIN 5 MINUTES MY CAR WAS ENGULFED, IT WAS TOTALED,

CAR ROLLS IN PARK FROM TIME TO TIME UNLESS THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IS SET. MAKES VERY LOUD GRINDING NOISE WHEN IN REVERSE AFTERWARD. HAS "SERVICE 4WD SYSTEM" MESSAGE. NO MECHANIC HAS BEEN ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM.

I WAS ON A SIDE STREET AND ROLLED OVER I HAD JUST BOUGHT THE CAR NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED

OUR 2006 JEEP COMMANDER HAS HAD A RECURRING PROBLEM OF STALLING AT RANDOM TIMES, WHILE BOTH DRIVING AND IDLING. EVERY DAY WE START THE VEHICLE BUT CANNOT DRIVE IT RIGHT AWAY BECAUSE IT STALLS OUT IF WE DON'T WAIT AT LEAST 5 MINUTES TO "WARM IT UP". ANOTHER EXAMPLE, WE WERE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AND TURNING LEFT IN AN INTERSECTION AND IT STALLED OUT WHILE IN MOTION AND LOST CONTROL OF STEERING AND BRAKING. I NOTICED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS FOR THOUSANDS OF 2006 JEEP COMMANDERS, BUT OUR VIN # SHOWS NO RECALLS FOR OUR CAR. WE ARE HAVING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM WITH THIS TRUCK AS THE OTHER OWNERS OF RECALLED 2006 JEEP COMMANDERS. IT IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP FOR THE THIRD TIME AND THE MECHANICS CANNOT RECREATE THE STALL WHILE MOVING ISSUE AND CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHY IT IS HESITATING AND STALLING. THIS IS MY 16 YEAR OLD NEW DRIVER'S VEHICLE AND I'M AFRAID FOR HER SAFETY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS BECAME ILLUMINATED. ADDITIONALLY, THE HEADLIGHTS BECAME DIM, THE RADIO VOLUME INDEPENDENTLY LOWERED, SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER FLUCTUATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BALD HILL DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM LOCATED AT 1035 BALD HILL RD, WARWICK, RI 02886, (844) 847-4671) HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SEVERAL YEARS AGO, THE ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED HOWEVER, THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ALTERNATOR FAILED TO ELIMINATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 126,000.
