MY VEHICLE IS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER THAT I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH EVEN THOUGH IT ONLY HAS ABOUT 78,000 MILES. I WAS DRIVING DOWN A RESIDENTIAL STREET WHEN IT STALLED AND AFTER I CUT OFF THE ENGINE TO RESTART IT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT TURN OVER. I HAD IT TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE CONTROL RELAY MODULE THAT WAS NOT COMMUNICATING EFFECTIVELY. I HAVE HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED, ALL THE RECALLS DONE, AND MANY OTHER THINGS. THIS IS SO UNSAFE AND RIDICULOUS. ITS NEARLY $1,000 TO HAVE THIS PART REPLACED, BUT BECAUSE IT IS SUCH A COMMON ISSUE IT IS ON BACK ORDER. CHRYSLER SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECTIVE ITEMS THEY PRODUCE AND SELL TO CUSTOMERS WHO BEAR THE BRUNT OF HAVING A BARELY DRIVABLE, MONEY PIT. *TR

MY DAUGHTERS WERE IN THE 3RD ROW SEATING WHEN THEY WENT TO BUCKLE THEIR SEATBELTS AND THEY WOULD NOT CLICK IN. THEY WERE BOTH BROKEN AND WOULD NOT STAY ATTACHED.

I EXPLAINED THAT THE ABOVE WAS ALL SAFETY ISSUES AND SHOULD BE FIXED BY MANUFACTURERS AND THEY SAID THAT IT WASN'T COVERED. I EVEN TOLD THEM THAT I SAW THE RECALLS AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WASN'T FOR MY JEEP. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED BY THE MANUFACTURER AND CONSIDERED A RECALL. *TR

WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I HAD MY CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 55 MPH AS I CAME INTO A 35 MPH ZONE I HAD TAPPED MY BRAKES AND THEN CAME TO A RED LIGHT WHERE I HAD TO STOP, WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I THEN TURNED ON STATE ROUTE 348 WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS BACK TO 55 WHEN I PUSHED THE BUTTON TO RESUME, MY 06 JEEP COMMANDER ACCELERATED TO A VERY HIGH SPEED AS IF I PUSHED THE PEDDLE TO THE FLOOR. WHEN I PUSHED THE BREAK IT THEN TURNED THE CRUISE CONTROL OFF, LUCKILY THERE WERE NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME OR I WOULD HAVE CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF THEIR VEHICLE AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. AT THIS POINT I CANNOT USE MY CRUISE CONTROL BECAUSE THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I TRY (NOTE: I ALWAYS MAKE SURE THERE IS NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME). *TR

THE PLASTIC PANEL OF THE INTERIOR DOOR (DRIVER'S SIDE) CRACKED BY THE DOOR HANDLE. ONE DAY I PULLED THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE, THE CRACK IN THE PANEL GREW AND PIECES CRUMBLED AND FELL INTO THE DOOR. THEN THE HANDLE FELL INTO THE DOOR. NOW THE ONLY WAY TO OPEN THE DOOR IS TO LOWER THE WINDOW AND OPEN IT FROM OUTSIDE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, AND I APPARENTLY AM NOT THE ONLY ONE.

OUR JEEP DOESN'T STAY IN GEAR, TO BACK UP OUT OF DRIVEWAY MUST GO FROM REVERSE TO NEUTRAL SEVERAL TIMES TO ENGAGE. ALSO WILL SLIP FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY, MANY, TIMES THAT OUR JEEP DOESN'T KNOW IT IS IN PARK OR NEUTRAL AND WILL NOT START UNTIL YOU MESS FOR ALONG TIME WITH SHIFTER. CONTACT WAS MADE WITH DEALERS IN AREA AND THEY STATE OUR VIN. ISN'T PART OF RECALL. WHEN DRIVING OUR JEEP HAS PUT ITSELF INTO NEUTRAL BUT SHIFTER IS IN DRIVE POSITION... PLEASE HELP US.. *TR

UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE HEARD TO BE WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A LOUD EXHAUST LEAK UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE ENGINE. WHILE DRIVING THE NOISE SEEMED TO LESSEN / GO AWAY. UPON DOING RESEARCH MANY REPORTS THAT IF YOU HEAR AN "EXHAUST LEAK" UPON START UP THEN FADE AWAY, IT COULD BE A POSSIBILITY THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS HAVE BROKEN. I TOOK IT UPON MYSELF TO LOOK UNDER THE HOOD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS COLD, AND LOW AND BEHOLD THE BOLT THAT GOES THROUGH THE HEAT SHIELD AND MANIFOLD AND INTO THE ENGINE BLOCK WAS CRACKED IN TWO PIECES SEPARATING THE MANIFOLD FROM THE BLOCK. I CALL MY MECHANIC, HE SAID BRING IT DOWN RIGHT AWAY, HE LOOKED AT IT AND SAW THAT THERE WAS 2 BOLTS BROKEN ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. AGAIN MANY COMPLAINTS FROM CUSTOMERS ONLINE ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM, AND THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THIS ISSUE IS TO LIFT THE ENGINE OUT OF THE VEHICLE TO DRILL OUT THE BROKEN BOLTS THAT ARE STUCK IN THE BLOCK. NOW. MY MECHANIC TRIES EVERYTHING ALL SORTS OF ANGLE TOOLS, OTHER TOOLS AND CANT REMOVE THE BOLTS, SO THE ONLY THING LEFT TO DO IS LIFT THE ENGINE. I HAVE THE ENGINE LIFTED AND FIND THAT THERE WERE MORE BOLTS BROKEN ON THE DRIVER SIDE AS WELL. I GO TO THE DEALER AND BUY ALL NEW "UPGRADED BOLTS" ( AS THE DEALER SPECIFIED) FOR THIS ALONG WITH GASKETS, REAR MAIN SEAL, FAN CLUTCH, OIL PAN GASKET ETC. I EXPLAIN TO THE DEALER THE PROBLEM AND THEY ADMIT TO THE PROBLEM BUT THERE'S NO RECALL ON THE 4.7L ONLY ON THE HEMI FOR THE BROKEN MANIFOLD BOLTS. I ASK WHAT WAS THE

AT ANY SPEED, ANYTIME, COLD OR HOT, THE VEHICLE WILL PRODUCE A MESSAGE ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER INFORMATION CENTER STATING " TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP ". THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO THE MECHANIC TWO TIMES ALREADY AND CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THIS MESSAGE WILL DISPLAY ON A COOL MORNING UPON START UP OR AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN RUNNING FOR SOME TIME. THE MESSAGE WILL NOT STAY ON LONGER THAN A FEW MINUTES, THEN WILL TURN OFF. A TON OF RESEARCH HAS BEEN DONE AND NO ONE HAS THE ANSWER YET. THE ONLY THING I CAME ACROSS WAS TO REPLACE THE PCM/ECM, SOMEONE STATED THERE WAS A GLITCH WITH THE COMPUTER. MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS RECURRING PROBLEM AND IT CAN'T BE FIXED YET. *TR

THE VEHICLE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR STALLS OUT NO MATTER HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING. EVERYTHING DIES, INCLUDING POWER STEERING. I HAVE TO COAST OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN RESTART IT AND IT RUNS FINE FOR AWHILE. THERE IS NO RHYME OR REASON TO IT. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 80 MPH AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND IT JUST SHUTS OFF. I HAVE ALSO BEEN ON SIDE ROADS GOING 35-40 MPH AND IT HAPPENS. IT ALWAYS RESTARTS AND THEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN. I HAD ALL THE SPARK PLUGS REPLACED IN 2012 AND IT WORKED FINE FOR AWHILE, PROBABLY ABOUT 5,000 MILES, THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN OUT OF THE BLUE IN 2014. I DON'T DRIVE THE CAR VERY OFTEN BECAUSE IT IS TOO DANGEROUS. I'VE ALMOST CAUSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS ON THE HIGHWAY FROM A SUDDEN SLOW DOWN FROM THE ENGINE DYING AND DECELERATING RAPIDLY. I'VE WRITTEN A COMPLAINT IN 2012, NEVER HEARD ANYTHING AND NOW I AM WRITING AGAIN. *TR

FOR NO REASON THE JEEP WOULD JUST DIE, ON THE INTRASTATE, IN TOWN, ANYWHERE, JUST SHUT OFF, THEN AFTER A HOUR OR SO IT WOULD START AGAIN. AFTER BEING IN THE SHOP MANY WEEKS FOR THIS, THE TWO COMPUTERS WERE FOUND TO BE THE PROBLEM. CHANGED THE COMPUTERS, AT THE FEE OF ALMOST $ 2000 AND NO MORE PROBLEMS, WHICH THE MONEY IS NOTHING KNOWING MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER WONT STALL ON THE INTRASTATE AND BE KILLED. CHRYLSER CORP CAN CARE LESS !!!! *TR

DRIVING MY JEEP COMMANDER FROM TOPEKA,KS TO MANHATTAN,KS DROVE ON THE HIGH WAY WHEN ACCELERATED THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO JERK AND OR BEGAN A ROCKING MOTION. THE VEHICLE JERKED OR ROCKED EVERY SO OFTEN NOT CONSISTENT BUT VERY RANDOMLY DID NOT NOTICE A PATTERN. THE VEHICLE DID NOT DRIVE WELL AND FELT VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE ON THE HIGH WAY. *TR

WATER LEAKS INTO VEHICLE FROM DOOR AND SUNROOF. *TR

MY VEHICLE PAINT IS "SPIDERING" AND CRACKING ON THE HOOD. YOU WOULDN'T THINK THIS COULD HAPPEN SINCE IT SAT IN A GARAGE FOR ALMOST A YEAR WHILE I WAS DEPLOYED, I WAX IT RELIGIOUSLY AND IT IS USED VERY LITTLE. WHEN TALKING TO THE JEEP DEALER, THEY MAKE IT SOUND LIKE IT IS ACCEPTABLE WEAR AND TEAR. I THINK THERE IS A FLAW IN THE PAINT USED FOR THAT SPECIFIC YEAR AND POSSIBLY MANUFACTURING LOCATION. *TR

HELLO, MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER STARTED STALLING OUT OVER A YEAR AGO AND HAS STALLED ON ME ON AND OFF VARIOUS TIMES AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS BUT USUALLY AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED, WHICH HAS BEEN VERY SCARY. I HAVE CHOSEN NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE ANYMORE AND NOW IT IS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY AND I AM DRIVING A 1991 HONDA BECAUSE I CANNOT AFFORD TO BUY A NEW CAR AT THIS TIME. I JUST PAID THIS JEEP OFF AND NOW I CANNOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER FIXED THE ONE RECALL ON THE VEHICLE CALLED THE FRONT CONTROL MODULE AND IT RAN FINE FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND NOW ONCE AGAIN THE CAR STALLED OUT WHILE I WAS HEADED TO A CAMPING TRIP WITH MY KIDS A COUPLE MONTHS AGO GOING 50 MPH AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I WAS ALMOST HIT BY A SEMI AND SEVERAL CARS WERE HONKING AND TRYING TO AVOID MY JEEP. I LOSE ALL POWER STEERING AND THERE ARE NO NOTIFICATIONS THAT THE CAR WILL STALL SO IT IS VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS FOR ME AND MY CHILDREN. I AM SO UPSET THAT I CANNOT DRIVE THE CAR AND FEEL SAFE. I HAVE CONTACTED JEEP AND THEY HAVE A RECALL FOR 2006 JEEP COMMANDERS THAT COVERS UP TO JANUARY 2006 AND MY VEHICLE WAS MADE IN MARCH SO THEY TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THE RECALL WAS FOR THE PCM WHICH MY CAR HAS THE SAME CODE ON THE DIAGNOSIS BUT NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AND I HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS. I REALLY HOPE THAT THIS SITUATION CAN BE RESOLVED BY JEEP STEPPING UP AND TAKING CARE OF THIS ISSUE FOR THE SAFETY OF PEOPLE. *TR

EVERYTIME I DRIVE MY JEEP IT STALLS AND THE WHEEL LOCKS UP (BASICALLY TURNS INTO MANUAL STEERING) AND MY BRAKES LOCK UP ( NO BRAKES AT ALL) AND I HAD JUST BOUGHT THIS JEEP A WK GO FROM MCGEE CHEVROLET IN RAYNHAM MA. THE FIRST NIGHT I DROVE IT HOME IT STALLED PULLING IN TO THE DRIVEWAY. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT MORNING TO TELL THEM AND THEY WOULDN'T TAKE THE JEEP TIL THE FOLLOWING WK TO LOOK AT IT THEY CAME UP WITH EVERY EXCUSE IN THE WORLD. WHEN I BROUGHT THE JEEP IN TODAY THEY HAD ME SIGN A DEDUCTIBLE OF 100 DOLLARS BUT YET WHEN I FIRST TEST DROVE THE JEEP IT I TOLD THEM TO FIX IT BUT ALL THEY DID WAS CLEARED THE CODES (FLASHED THE COMPUTER) NOW I HAVE A REJECTION STICKER ON THE VEHICLE AND NO CAR. *TR

THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE 2010. IT FIRST HAPPENED TO MY WIFE AS SHE DROVE ON I-75 THE CAR JUST TURNED OFF ON HER AND ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED BY A CAR THAT WAS BEHIND HER.

MY WIFE CONTACTED CHRYSLER THIS LAST TIME TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE ISSUE AND WAS TOLD THAT OUR CAR WAS UNDER INVESTIGATION ,THAT RECALLS WERE BEING DONE IN SEPTEMBER BUT THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS AND THEN GET REIMBURSED .I PERSONALLY DON'T THINK THE CONSUMER SHOULD PAY FOR ANYTHING MUCH LESS SOMETHING THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN DISCOVERED TO BE A MANUFACTURING FLAW. *TR
