2006 Jeep Commander complaints

I'M NOT GETTING ANYWHERE WITH CHRYSLER COMPANY RECALL SERVICE. MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER HAS A P41 RECALL ON IT, IT WILL DO ALL SORTS OF CRAZY AND UNSAFE THINGS WHEN DRIVING. EXAMPLES: THE JEEP WILL NOT START, WHEN STARTING IT THE IGNITION SWITCH CLICKS, THE POWER IS ON FOR EVERYTHING. JEEP TOLD ME TO PUT IN DRIVE AND THEN BACK IN PARK, THEN TRY TO START IT. THAT DOES NOT WORK. DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE THE JEEP WILL SHUT OFF AND THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. ONCE PULLED OVER IT NEEDS RESTARTED AND THEN IT RUNS AGAIN. IT ALSO SHIFTS TO 3RD GEAR WHEN COMING OFF THE EXIT RAMP WHEN SPEEDING UP TO GET ON INTERSTATE, AGAIN I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND TURN IT OFF AND RESTART IT. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND NOW I HAVE NO TRANSPORTATION. CALLING CHRYSLER, THEY SAID THAT THEY WILL NOT HELP OR PROVIDE A RENTAL CAR. THEY SAY EVERY TIME I CALL IT'S NOT THEIR FAULT THAT THE MANUFACTURER OF THE IGNITION REPLACEMENT PART IS NOT ESCALATING THE ORDER AND THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO FOR ME. THEY WANT US TO DRIVE A VERY UNSAFE VEHICLE INSTEAD OF PROVIDING US WITH A RENTAL CAR. THEY ALSO SAID THAT THEY HAVE NO TIME FRAME OF WHEN THE PART IS TO BE AVAILABLE TO THE DEALERS SO THIS ISSUE CAN BE CORRECTED AND THAT THEY CAN'T JUST GIVE OUT RENTALS TO EVERYONE WITHOUT KNOWING WHEN THE ISSUE WILL BE FIXED. I NEED HELP, I NEED A WAY TO WORK AND I NEED A SAFE VEHICLE. *JS

IN MARCH OF 2012, I WAS DRIVING MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER V8 ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY.AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT, I HAD BEEN DECREASING SPEED, WHEN THE TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME SUDDENLY SLAMMED ON HIS BRAKES. HOWEVER, WHEN I PRESSED DOWN HARD ON MY BRAKES, MY BRAKES/ANTI-LOCK BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED, CAUSING ME TO CRASH INTO THE TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME. WHILE TRYING TO BRAKE, MY CAR STALLED AND CONTINUED TO PROPEL FORWARD, CAUSING A LACK OF STEERING CAPABILITY, INEVITABLY CAUSING A CRASH, IN WHICH MY AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. AFTER THE POLICE ARRIVED, I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AND BARELY MADE IT HOME, HAVING TO PUSH IT SEVERAL BLOCKS. MY SUV WENT INTO THE SHOP FOR ALMOST ONE MONTH. AFTER MY SUV WAS FIXED, INCLUDING EXTERIOR AND RADIATOR, THE SUV CONTINUED TO OVERHEAT WITHOUT CAUSE AND IT WAS NOW CONSIDERED A TOTAL LOSS. I WAS NOT PREPARED FOR MY VEHICLE TO BE CONSIDERED A TOTAL LOSS AS THE ISSUES APPEARED TO BE MINOR. I ENDURED MAJOR HARDSHIP AS A RESULT ON THIS ACCIDENT, INCLUDING LACK OF WORK AND OCCURRED AT AN INOPPORTUNE TIME FOR ME TO BUY A NEW VEHICLE, RESULTING IN A HIGH INTEREST RATE AND SKYROCKETING INSURANCE, SINCE I WAS CONSIDERED AT FAULT, DESPITE LACK OF BEING CITED DUE TO VEHICLE ISSUES. AFTER 2 YRS, I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO REFINANCE MY CAR; HOWEVER, MY INSURANCE WILL REMAIN HIGH TIL FEB 2015 @$314 (35 MOS). I DID NOT REALIZE WHY THE VEHICLE'S BRAKING AND STALLING OCCURRED AS I WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE RECALL UNTIL JULY 2014! IF RECALLS OCCURRED IN 07-09, WHY WAS I NOT INF

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V438000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND CRASHED.

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY THE JEEP LOST POWER AT APPROXIMATELY 35MPH FROM THE ON RAMP ON TO THE RIGHT LANE OF THE FREEWAY. ALL THE LIGHTS SHUT OFF, ALL THE GAUGES SHUT DOWN, AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN. IT LASTED APPROXIMATELY 4-5 SECONDS, AND AFTER STEPPING ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE JEEP RE-ENGAGED AND WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN TO A SAFE DESTINATION. THE JEEP IS UNDER RECALL P41 FOR IGNITION SWITCH ISSUES, WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT BE CAUSING THE ISSUES, BUT THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE FROM CHRYSLER. THE PARTS HAVE NOT BEEN MANUFACTURED AND/OR DISTRIBUTED. IT IS POSSIBLE THE VEHICLE HAS A BAD CONTROL MODULE. THE RECALL FOR FAULTY CONTROL MODULES WAS ISSUED SEPT. 21, 2014 BUT THIS MAKE AND MODEL WAS NOT COVERED IN THAT RECALL ... ALTHOUGH IT SEEMS LIKELY IT IS HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES. *TR

AS I DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY I CAN BE GOING BETWEEN 40-60 MPH AND IF I LET OFF THE GAS AND JUST COAST AND THEN GIVE IT GAS AGAIN ITS LIKE IT IS IN NEUTRAL AND IT CONTINUES TO DO THIS UNTIL THE CAR IS GOING 20 MPH OR UNDER AND IT IS VERY DANGEROUS IT HAS CAUSED ME TO ALMOST HAVE SEVERAL WRECKS AND I HAVE 5 KIDS WHICH WERE WITH ME IN THE CAR EACH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE! *TR

SAFETY RECALL N23. I TOOK THIS VEHICLE IN FOR THE RECALL IN APRIL 2014. I WAS TOLD THE RECALL HAD ALREADY BEEN PERFORMED & NO WORK WAS NEEDED. THEY COULD NOT GIVE ME A DATE OF THE PREVIOUS UPDATE FOR THIS RECALL. SO THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED ON MY VEHICLE AT SOME TIME. NOW I HAVE A CONSTANT ERROR FLASHING "SERVICE 4WD SYSTEM."

ALMOST CAUSED CARS BEHIND ME TO SLAM INTO ME. THANK GOD AT THIS POINT I HAD ALREADY TURNED ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND THE CARS HAD A GOOD DISTANCE FROM ME. I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE BEEN MORE SCARED. IAM THE MOTHER OF TWO CHILDREN AND NOW REFUSE TO PUT MY KIDS IN THIS DEATH TRAP. I HAVE CONTACTED JEEP JUST TO BE TOLD THERE IS NOT A PART YET FOR RECALL OF IGNITION SWITCH. THIS CAR IS NOT DRIVABLE. IAM TERRIFIED AND CANT AFFORD A RENTAL OR A NEW CAR. HOW CAN JEEP BE ALLOWED TO MAKE US DRIVE THIS THINGS. THE RECALL HAS BEEN OUT FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AND YET NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. *TR

MY INSURANCE HAD TO COVER IT. THIS IS BECAUSE OF THE RECALL P41. I HAVE CALLED AND COMPLAINED SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT MY DASH LIGHTS FLICKERING, AND MY JEEP TURNING ITSELF OFF. I WAS WITHOUT MY VEHICLE FOR 3 WEEKS WHILE IT WAS BEING REPAIRED. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO GET THIS ISSUE FIGURED OUT! THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A MUCH WORSE ACCIDENT HAD I BEEN ON THE INTERSTATE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH THE VEHICLE JUST TURNED OFF. THERE IS A FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH RECALL BUT CHRYSLER WILL NOT DO ANYTHING TO HELP GET THIS REPAIRED. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE AND CONTACTED THEM BUT THEY WILL NOT GET BACK TO ME ABOUT REPAIR. THIS 2006 VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN BY MY DAUGHTER WHO IS 19 YEARS OLD AND AWAY AT COLLEGE.

I WAS SLOWLY PULLING THROUGH A STOP LIGHT (STOP AND GO TRAFFIC UP TO IT). JEEP SUDDENLY LOST POWER OF ALL KINDS - STALLED ENGINE, NO EMERGENCY FLASHERS, NO RADIO, NOTHING. TRIED TO TURN KEY & RESTART IT A # OF TIMES BUT IT WAS DEAD. AMBULANCE DROVE BY, STOPPED & PUSHED ME OUT OF THE ROAD. AS THEY WERE PUSHING ME, ELECTRICAL CAME BACK ON. SO I TRIED TO TURN KEY AGAIN AND CAR STARTED. **I AM PRETTY CONFIDENT THAT MY KNEE DID NOT TOUCH THE KEY- I AM TOO SHORT FOR THAT AND ALSO THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART ONCE STALLED- I TURNED KEY MANY TIMES TO TR AND GET OUT OF THE ROAD AND CAR REMAINED DEAD/POWERLESS. ALL ELECTRICAL WAS OFF. ONCE CAR CAME BACK ON, RADIO STATIONS NO LONGER PROGRAMMED, ETC. MUCH LIKE THE BATTERY HAD DIED. ** PLZ NOTE, MILEAGE IS ESTIMATED- I NEED TO GO LOOK INSIDE CAR. *TR

JEEP STARTED MAKING A TICKING NOISE RANDOMLY ONE DAY. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY EXPLAINED THE THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS WERE BROKEN ON BOTH SIDES. VERY STRANGE CONSIDERING THAT MY JEEP HAVE NEVER BEEN OFF-ROAD. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH IT HAS BECOME VERY OBVIOUS THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH ALL OF THE CHRYSLER VEHICLES WITH THE 4.7L V8. THE COMPANY DOESN'T TRY TO HELP WITH THE COST AND ACTUALLY CHARGES AN ASTRONOMICAL AMOUNT TO REPAIR SOMETHING THAT I CONSIDER BAD ENGINEERING ON THEIR PART. THE BROKEN BOLTS CAUSE AN EXHAUST LEAK THAT CAN NOW BE DETECTED WITHIN THE CAR AND I THINK IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS FOR THE PASSENGERS. WITH THE BOLTS BROKEN IT ALSO ALLOWS THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD TO WARP CAUSE ADDITION DAMAGE THAT NOW NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED/REPLACED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING - USUALLY AT NIGHT AND AT ALL SPEEDS MY HEADLIGHTS WILL FLICKER LIKE A STROBE LIGHT AND THEN GO OFF COMPLETELY, INCLUDING THE INTERIOR LIGHTS AS WELL INDICATING MY SPEED, ETC.. SOMETIMES I CAN USE MY HIGH BEAMS TO AT LEAST BE ABLE TO SEE, HOWEVER, EVEN SOMETIMES THIS DOES NOT WORK. VERY, VERY DANGEROUS TO NOT BE ABLE TO SEE OR BE SEEN AT NIGHT IN RANDOM PLACES ON THE FREEWAY, IN THE CITY, ETC....PLEASE SOMEONE HELP - DEALER STATES THAT THEY HAVE NO CLUE AS TO WHAT THE PROBLEM MIGHT BE!! ANOTHER PROBLEM, I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH, IS THE AIR CONDITIONER IN THE VEHICLE WILL STOP AND NOT BLOW ANY AIR. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PART TO FIX MY CAR. ON TOP OF THAT THEY GAVE ME A PIECE OF MY CAR THAT APPARENTLY FELL OFF, WHILE THEY WERE INSPECTING IT??!!?? THEY TOLD ME IT WAS NOT THEIR FAULT AND THAT IT IS A FAULTY PIECE CALLED THE HOUSING WHICH IS PART OF THE INLET HOUSING AND THAT IT WOULD COST $1,156.38 TO FIX. UNBELIEVABLE! *TR

IN JUNE OF 2011 I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FWY AT 70MPH WHEN THE ENGINE TURNED OFF STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND I HAS TO COAST OFF THE FWY LUCKILY IT WAS NIGHT AND LITTLE TRAFFIC (CALIFORNIA IS KNOWN FOR HEAVY FWY TRAFFIC.

AS RECENTLY AS APRIL OF 2014 IT BEGAN TURNING OFF COMPLETELY WHEN SLOWLY COMING TO A STOP ANYWHERE ON THE FWY AT A SIGNAL GOING UPHILL, DOWNHILL, PARKING IN A PARKING SPACE AND THIS HAPPENS EVERY DAY ALL DAY LONG - IT NEVER DOES NOT DO IT. AT THIS TIME I HAVE 117000 AND IT IS VERY UNSETTLING AS I HAVE A 7 YEAR OLD SON, A FULL TIME JOB AND LIVE IN BUSY CALIFORNIA - THE FACT THAT JEEP/CHRYSLER IS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE REPAIR NEEDED IS PUTTING MY FAMILY AT RISK DAY AFTER DAY - I CAN BARELY AFFORD AND MAKE ENDS MEET AND THIS HAS CAUSED ME MUCH STRESS. I CANNOT AFFORD TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE AS I HAVE TRIED FOR THE PAST YEAR. PLEASE HELP ME. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING ON AN EXPRESSWAY IN CENTRAL MICHIGAN, I WAS USING THE CRUISE CONTROL TO MAINTAIN A SPEED OF 75 MPH. WITH NO WARNING AT ALL, THE MECHANICAL COMPONENTS OF THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN, LEAVING MY JEEP "DEAD IN THE HIGHWAY". I WAS ABLE TO STEER AND BRAKE, BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESPOND TO ACCELERATION BY PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. I PULLED OFF TO THE SHOULDER, LUCKILY WITHOUT INCIDENT. TURNED THE KEY TO THE "OFF" POSITION AND WAITED ABOUT 10 SECONDS. I TURNED THE KEY TO THE "ON" POSITION AND IT STARTED BACK UP. I CAUTIOUSLY DROVE AT A CONSIDERABLY SLOWER SPEED UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO GET TO A REST STOP. WHEN I GOT TO MY DESTINATION I FOUND A LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE AND HAD THEM DO A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK. IT SHOWED A MAF SENSOR GONE BAD. MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR WAS REPLACED. HOPING THAT WAS THE ISSUE, AFTER SEVERAL DAYS, MY FAMILY AND I HEADED BACK HOME ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STATE. WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 60 MPH WITH CRUISE CONTROL, THERE WERE NO ISSUES. I FIGURED THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. UNFORTUNATELY, I WAS WRONG. AS I REACHED THE HIGHWAY WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS 70 MPH, I ACCELERATED TO 70 MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL. AS SOON AS I BROKE THE 70 MPH POINT, THE CAR MECHANICALLY STALLED AGAIN AS I WAS TRYING TO MERGE ONTO THE BUSY HIGHWAY. AGAIN, LUCKILY, I MADE IT SAFELY TO THE SHOULDER AND RESTARTED. I WAS ABLE TO EXCEED 70 MPH ON THE WAY HOME WITHOUT USING THE CRUISE CONTROL. CONCERNED FOR MY PREGNANT WIFE, TODDLER SON, AND MY OWN SAFETY, AS THIS HAPPENED ON A BUSY HIGHWAY AT A HIGH

BASICALLY THE DOOR HANDLE MECHANISMS DISINTEGRATED. THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT AND REAR DOOR PLASTIC THAT SURROUNDS THE DOOR HANDLES BROKE INTO SEVERAL SMALL PIECES AND FELL INSIDE THE DOOR. I FEEL THIS IS A DANGER BECAUSE EVENTUALLY THE CABLE THAT OPENS THE DOORS WILL BREAK AND I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO OPEN THE DOORS. I HAVE CHECKED INTO HAVING THEM REPAIRED BUT IT WAS VERY EXPENSIVE DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE PLASTIC AROUND THE HANDLES IS 1 PIECE WITH THE REST OF THE PLASTIC OF THE INSIDE OF THE DOOR. ALSO, ALTHOUGH THIS IS NOT A DANGER - THE DISPLAY SCREEN FOR ALL THE OF ELECTRONICS OF THE CAR, WENT BLACK SEVERAL YEARS AGO. I AM UNABLE TO ACCESS A LOT OF THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE CAR. WE PAID OVER $43,000 FOR THE CAR - THESE THINGS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. THE DOOR HANDLE REALLY SCARES ME. I HAVE SIGNED PETITIONS TO HAVE THIS RECALLED AS WELL AS CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER. IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. THANK YOU *TR

LESS THEN TWO WEEKS AFTER THE PURCHASE OF THE 2006 COMMANDER (PURCHASED ON 8/10), THE DASH STARTED TO FLICKER OFF AND ON AT RANDOM TIMES - SLOW AND FAST. AS I WOULD DRIVE IT WOULD GET WORSE AND I WOULD LOSE RPM, MPH, LIGHTS AT NIGHT, WIPERS DURING STORMS, RADIO, AIR, HEAT, DEFROST, ALL DASH WARNINGS FLASHING ON AND OFF, ETC. THE DASH WOULD GO BLACK AND THEN THE CAR WOULD STALL. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS ON A HWY GOING 65 AND HAD TO DRIFT TO THE SIDE WITHOUT KILLING MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE. I STARTED THE CAR BACK UP WITH NO PROBLEM. TWO HOURS LATER I WAS AT A STOP SIGN AND IT DID THE SAME THING. 8/27/14 TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT. THE THIRD TIME IT SURGED, I WAS IN A STORM CROSSING OVER A TWO LANE BRIDGE - DASH FLASHING, LIGHTS/DEFROST/RADIO/WIPERS ON AND OFF, AND THEN NOTHING BUT DARKNESS AND CAR STALLED - I HAD NOWHERE TO GO. I LOST ALL CONTROL WITH THE CAR AND ONLY GOING 35MPH. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO HIGH POINT OF THE BRIDGE WITH PASSING CARS BEEPING AND FLASHING THEIR LIGHTS AT ME. I STARTED THE CAR AND HAD THE REPEAT EXPERIENCE THREE MORE TIMES BEFORE GETTING HOME USING THE EMERGENCY BREAK - BRAKES LOCK WHEN CAR STALLS. 9/20/14 I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT. I WAS DRIVING 35 ON A HIGHWAY AND IT STARTED AGAIN AND I DECIDED TO TAPE THE ACTIVITY WITH MY PHONE - DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING BUT HAD TO SHOW SOMEONE WHAT WAS GOING ON - DEALER TOLD ME THEY COULD GET ME IN TO LOOK AT IT IN 4 DAYS. 10/13/14 DEALER PUTS ME IN A JUNK C
