2006 Jeep Commander complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 08V203000 (POWER TRAIN). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

BRAKING TO APPROACH A RED LIGHT AT AN INTERSECTION THE BRAKES FELT MUSHY FOLLOWED BY COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. I WAS STOPPED IN THE INSIDE LANE OF A 4-LANE HWY AT AN INTERSECTION WITHOUT POWER!. AFTER A MOMENT OF PANIC....THANK HEAVENS NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC BEHIND ME....I PUT THE CAR INTO PARK AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE. I TRAVELED TWO BLOCKS TO WHERE I COULD SAFELY EXIT THE HWY AND PARK. AFTER A FEW MINUTES WHILE I CALMED DOWN I PROCEEDED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO MY HOME. SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE TRIED TO GET THE VEHICLE IN FOR A CHECK BUT CANNOT GET AN APPOINTMENT UNTIL AUGUST. IT HAS BEEN A FEW DAYS AND I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO USE THE VEHICLE. I HAVE NOTED SOME MISSING AND HESITATING FROM TIME TO TIME BUT NOT COMPLETE FAILURE. HOWEVER, I WOULD NOT TAKE THIS VEHICLE ON AN OPEN HWY AS IT IS PERFORMING RIGHT NOW. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE 2/15/14 THREE WEEKS LATER WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY THE GAUGES JUST CAME ON AND KEPT FLASHING IT CONTINUED FOR THE DURATION OF MY DRIVE. ONCE I GOT TO WORK AND PUT IT IN PARK AND TURN IT OFF AND RESTARTED IT NOTHING HAPPENED. SO 8.5 TO 9 HRS LATER BACK ON THE HIGHWAY IT DOES IT AGAIN THIS TIME JUST FLASHED 3 TIMES. IT WAS TAKING TO A SHOP PER FINANCE COMPANY TO WHICH THE MECHANIC KEPT FOR ALMOST 2 WEEKS. THE MECHANIC STATED HE COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. HE NEEDED TO SEE IT HAPPEN. SO I TOOK IT BACK HOME THE FIRST WEEK NOTHING HAPPENED. SECOND WEEK NOTHING THAT THIRD WEEK IT HAPPENED AGAIN THIS TIME WHILE ON HIGHWAY ON THE WAY TO WORK MY SPEED DROPPED FROM 60 TO 5 IN LESS THAN A SECOND. I PULLED OVER AND SAT FOR 2 TO 3 MINUTES AN PROCEEDED ON WITH MY CELL PHONE READY TO SNAP A PICTURE IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND LOW AND BE HOLD IT DOES IT AGAIN AND THIS TIME IT WAS CONTINUES UNTIL I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE ONCE AGAIN IT WAS TAKEN TO THE SHOP WITH THE PROOF HE NEEDED AND AGAIN HE STATED HE COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG SO HE TOOK IT TO JEEP CHRYSLER AND HAD THEM RESET EVERYTHING AND GAVE IT BACK TO ME. FOR THE NEXT MONTH NOTHING HAPPENED. BUT THE FOLLOWING MONTH ONCE AGAIN THE PROBLEM STARTS AGAIN. BUT THIS TIME IT COMPLETELY KNOCKED OUT MY RADIO. THE FINANCE COMPANY WANT HELP AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. TODAY IS THE 25TH OF JULY BUT TWO OR THREE DAYS AGO THERE WAS A RECALL ON 2006-2007 JEEP COMMANDERS FOR FAULTY IGNITION SWITCHES. I REALLY DO N

IGNITION SWITCH DEFECTIVE. IT MOVED FROM RUN TO ACC WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN ONTO A ONRAMP GOING ABOUT 30 MPH. IT TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE JUST LIKE THE DEFECTIVE GM SWITCH DID. IT WAS ATTACHED TO OTHER KEYS AND MAY HAVE BEEN BUMPED BY KNEE DURING TURN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 180,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT AND THE DRIVER BECAME INVOLVED IN A CRASH WHILE TRAVELING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS. UPON IMPACT, THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE DRIVER WAS FATALLY INJURED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED UNKNOWN INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 175,000.

CAR TURNED ITSELF OFF,IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM, MAYBE SOFTWARE.HAS STALLED ON MANY OCCASIONS. HAS HAD SOFTWARE CHECKED BY DEALER AND THERE IS NO OTHER FIX, THEY SAY. IS THIS PART OF THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL PROBLEM WITH IGNITION SWITCH? THANK YOU! *TR

ELECTRICAL ISSUE THAT IS CAUSING ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS TO FLICKER ON AND OFF, HEAT/AIR GOES ON AND OFF, AUDIO CENTER GOES ON AND OFF ALL ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS GO NO AND OFF. DEALERSHIP BLAMED MY REMOTE STARTER(WHICH THEY. *TR INSTALLED) BUT TURNED OUT IT WASN'T AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT IS. SAY THEY CAN'T DETERMINE WHAT IT IS UNLESS IT IS HAPPENING WHEN I BRING IT IN. THE INTERIOR DOOR OPENING CASING CRUMBLES. ALREADY HAD DRIVERS DOOR FIXED BECAUSE I COULDN'T OPEN DOOR FROM INSIDE AND WAS TOLD ALL DOORS WOULD EVENTUALLY HAVE TO BE DONE. DOORS FREEZE DUE TO POOR DRAINAGE. WATER COLLECTS INSIDE DOOR FRAME AND RUNNING BOARD, FREEZING ALL DOORS. IF NOT FOR THE REMOTE STARTER, WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO GET IN THE CAR AT ALL. *TR

WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE FIRST NOTICED THE ELECTRIC MIRRORS TURNED UPWARD AND UNABLE TO CORRECT. THEN THE LEFT WINDOW WENT DOWN AND MOVES UP OR DOWN AT RANDOM. THE ELECTRIC DOOR LOCKS BECAME INOPERATIVE FROM DRIVER SIDE. THE WARNING GAUGES STARTED TO GO OFF AND ON AND DISPLAY STARTED TO FLASH DIFFERENT PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE. WHILE DRIVING THE NEXT DAY THE CRUISE CONTROL WENT OFF AND EVERYTHING STARTED FLASHING THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND HAVE PUT THE VEHICLE IN THE SHOP. I HAVE A VIDEO THAT I TOOK WHILE DRIVING. *TR

MY JEEP HAD AN N23 RECALL PERFORMED AT PARK JEEP IN BURNSVILLE, MN. AFTER THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED, THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM LOW RANGE BECAME INOPERABLE. A MESSAGE APPEARS ON THE DASH: 'SERVICE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE'. I NOTIFIED THE DEALER ABOUT HIS ISSUE. THEY PERFORMED SOME REPROGRAMMING THAT THEY SAID WOULD FIX THE ISSUE. THIS REPROGRAMMING DID NOT WORK, AS THE ISSUE HAS RETURNED, AND MY FOUR WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM IS NOT OPERATING AS EXPECTED. I NOTIFIED JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE, AND THEY HAVE NO SOLUTION FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALER HAS NO SOLUTION FOR THIS PROBLEM. ABOUT 500,000 GRAND CHEROKEES AND COMMANDERS THAT HAVE THIS FOUR WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM ARE AFFECTED. NO ONE CAN GUARANTEE THAT IT WILL NOT AFFECT NORMAL OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE. AND NO ONE KNOWS WHAT THE SYSTEM CAN DO IN TRAFFIC ON IT'S OWN WITHOUT WARNING TO THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE. THE N23 RECALL PERFORMED BY MY JEEP DEALER HAS CREATED THIS PROBLEM, AND IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER NOW. CHRYSLER/JEEP NEEDS TO PROVIDE A PROPER REPAIR SO THAT THE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES CAN COUNT ON THEIR JEEPS TO PERFORM AS THEY WERE REPRESENTED TO PERFORM WHEN PURCHASED, AND WITH THE KNOWLEDGE THAT THE VEHICLE WILL PERFORM IN A SAFE MANNER WITH NO UNEXPECTED LIMITATIONS OR ACTIONS AS THEY ARE DRIVEN ON THE PUBLIC ROADS. SEARCH ON THE INTERNET WILL SHOW SCORES OF LINKS TO THIS N23 RECALL CREATED PROBLEM, AND CHRYSLER/JEEP'S LACK OF ACTION ON THIS ISSUE. THIS NEEDS ACTION NOW. *TR

THE INTERIOR DOOR OPENING CASING CRUMBLES INTO PIECES. JEEP KNOW ABOUT THE FAULTY DESIGN AND ACTUALLY REDESIGNED THIS COMPONENT IN 2008. TO REPLACE THE DOOR HANDLE, THE ENTIRE DOOR PANEL MUST BE REPLACED - AT APPROXIMATELY $800 PER DOOR JUST FOR PARTS. THIS ITEM SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED BECAUSE IT CREATES A SAFETY ISSUE FOR PEOPLE TRYING TO EXIT THE VEHICLE IN AN EMERGENCY. *TR

I TOOK MY CAR TO THE RECALL TO GET THE REFLASH IN MAY OF LAST YEAR. WHEN THE WINTER CAME I TRIED USING MY 4 WHEEL DRIVE AND THE "SERVICE 4 WHEEL DRIVE" ERROR. FIX THIS! *TR

AS I WAS CONING TO A STOP MY CAR DIED THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES ALL WHILE COMING TO A STOP. I COULD HEAR A CLICKING NOISE AND THEN THE ENGINE WOULD JUST TURN OFF. I WOULD HAVE TO PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTART THE ENGINE. *TR ITS VERY SCARY TO THINK MY CAR TURNS OFF FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC BUT FOUND NOTHING NOW MY NAVIGATION DISPLAY IN THE RADIO COMES AND GOES TO A BLANK SCREEN. I ASSUME IT IS ALL CONNECTED SINCE THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS ALL RELATED. WHAT NEXT?

BELOW IS WHAT I SENT TO JEEP. I HAVE THEIR RESPONDENTS IN MY EMAIL. I CAN PROVED AS REQUESTED. THIS CORRESPONDENCE IS TO DOCUMENT MY CONCERN WITH THE SAFETY OF MY JEEP COMMANDER; YEAR 2006, MAKE LTD, VIN [XXX]. THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE THAT IS CAUSING VARIOUS COMPONENTS OF THE VEHICLE TO MALFUNCTION. EXAMPLES OF THESE EPISODES ARE THE FOLLOWING: THE A/C CUTTING IN AND OUT, THE DASHBOARD FLICKERING ON AND OFF, THE SPEEDOMETER FLICKERING RADICALLY UP AND DOWN, THE AUDIO CENTER TURNING ON AND OFF, HEADLIGHTS TO FLICKER, THE TURNING SIGNALS TO NOT CORRECTLY OPERATE.? I RECENTLY REPLACED THE AUDIO UNIT BECAUSE THE MALFUNCTION CAUSED THE UNIT TO BLOW. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE 2012; INITIALLY THE OCCURRENCES WERE RARE BUT HAVE BEEN INCREASING IN CONSISTENCE AND ESCALATING SINCE THEN.I TRIED ADDRESSING THE ISSUE ON 6.12.2012 AT CHAPMAN SCOTTSDALE AUTOPLEX.THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. I TRIED READDRESSING 05.01.2014 AT CHAPMAN SCOTTSDALE AUTOPLEX. I HAVE INCURRED DIRECT COST OF APPROXIMATELY $275 AND HAVE SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION TO SUPPORT. CHAPMAN SCOTTSDALE AUTOPLEX IS STATING THAT I NEED TO REPLACE A DIMMER SWITCH FOR A COST OF $229.00. I AM NOT CONFIDENT THAT IS WILL RESOLVE THE ISSUE AND NEITHER IS THE DEALERSHIP. I ORIGINALLY PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AT ROYAL GATE DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP, INC. ON 04.24.2009. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE IS A MATTER THAT THE MANUFACTURE SHOULD ADDRESS AND RESOLVE. THESE OCCURRENCES ARE NOT ROUTINE MAINTENANCE ITEMS. I WOULD PREFER TO ADDRESS THIS MAT

WHILE DRIVING ON SUNDAY JULY 6, 2014, MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF AND LOST POWER STEERING. WE WERE ABLE TO PULL OFF AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENED A COUPLE OF TIMES AND THEN SEEMED TO RUN NORMAL. *TR

I HAD THE N23 UPDATE DONE AND NOW I DO NOT HAVE 4 WHEEL DRIVE - THANKS CHRYSLER ANOTHER SCREW UP AND YOU WON'T FIX IT. *TR

AFTER N23 RECALL WAS UPDATED 4L WILL NOT WORK. SERVICE 4WD SYSTEM MESSAGE APPEARS. *JS

AT STARTUP VEHICLE INFO CENTER SHOWS SERVICE 4WD SYSTEM. VEHICLE WON'T SHIFT INTO 4WD LOW RANGE IF ATTEMPTED SERVICE 4WD MESSAGE COME ON AND STAYS ON UNTIL VEHICLE IS SHUT OFF. RECALL N23 WAS PERFORMED AND NOW CODES HAD SET STOPPING TRANSFER CASE OPERATION. CODES C1405 AND C140F CLEARED BY DEALER AND CLAIM IT IS FIXED. DEALER CHARGED FOR THIS SERVICE. *JS

ALL THE LIGHT ON MY DASH BOARD HAVE BEEN FLICKERING ON AND OFF FOR THE PAST TWO MONTHS. IT DOES NOT SEEM TO AFFECT MY ENGINE HOWEVER IT WILL COMPLETELY TAKE ALL GAUGES TO ZERO WHILE I AM DRIVING. I DROVE IT LAST NIGHT AND WHEN IT HAPPENED IT KILLED MY ALL MY LIGHTS. I CAN HEAR A CLICKING SOUND WHEN THE FLICKERING HAPPENS. IT DOESN'T CLICK CONTINUOUSLY BUT ENOUGH TO MAKE ME VERY UNEASY. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A NEIGHBORHOOD STREET AND RE-ADJUSTED MY SEATING POSITION. WHILE DRIVING, MY KNEE SLIGHTLY BUMPED THE KEY AND TURNED OFF MY CAR WHILE IT WAS IN DRIVE. I THEN LOST POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. LUCKILY I WAS MOVING SLOWLY AND COULD PULL OVER AND STOP THE CAR. I THEN TESTED IT AGAIN IN A PARKING LOT AND I DETERMINED THAT MY JEEP SHUTS OFF EVERY TIME I MOVE THE KEY WITH MY KNEE, EVEN WHILE DRIVING. POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

WE WERE ON A MAIN ROAD COMING UP TO A STOPLIGHT WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY STALLED. HANDS WERE STILL ON STEERING WHEEL. HAD MY SON AND SISTER WITH ME. HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN "PARK" AND RESTART THE ENGINE. DID NOT GET HIT, BUT DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO BEING HIT FROM BEHIND. *TR

I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN AND THE CAR SHUT OFF COULDN'T GET IT STARTED HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED AND HAD TO HAVE IGNITION SWITCH AND ASSY. REPLACED. *TR

THERE IS A SERIOUS ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH THE SUV WHICH STARTED WITHIN . THE DEALERS LOOKED AT IT, I PAID FOR COMPUTER DIAGNOSTICS AND STILL NOTHING. BESIDES ALL THE LIGHTS FLASHING ON AND OFF, THE SPEEDOMETER FLUCTUATING, ACTUALLY ALL THE INSTRUMENTS GOING ON AND OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING; ALSO, THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL PANEL DOES NOT LIGHT UP WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ON. I HAVE NEVER HAD AN AUTOMOBILE WITH ALL THESE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS THAT NO ONE CAN FIX. PLEASE RECALL THIS VEHICLE BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. I TRY NOT TO DRIVE LONG DISTANCES ALONE BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. ALL THIS AND MORE HAS BEEN GOING ON WITH THE VEHICLE SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN 2010. I'VE BEEN GIVEN THE SAME ANSWER FROM MANY DEALERSHIPS AND AUTO ZONES WITH THEIR COMPUTER DIAGNOSTIC READINGS. NOTHINGS WRONG WITH YOUR VEHICLE. I'M TIRED AND WANT OUT OF THIS THING. BREAKS WORK AND DON'T WORK TOO. TO ME ITS A LEMON I GOT STUCK WITH. *TR

NORMAL START UP AND DRIVING. ALL DASH LIGHTS, HEAD LIGHTS, WARNING LIGHTS BEGAN BLINKING ON AND OFF VERY QUICKLY FOR A FEW MINUTES UNTIL JIGGLING THE IGNITION KEY A FEW TIMES GOT ALL LIGHTS TO STAY ON AND WARNING LIGHTS TO STAY OFF. CAR CONTINUED TO RUN AT THE 35 MILES PER HOUR. GAUGES WERE GOING FROM 0 TO NORMAL READINGS DURING THIS SAME TIME PERIOD. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THIS FIRST INCIDENT. DID NOT NOTICE QUICKLY ENOUGH IF THE AIR BAG LIGHTS WERE GOING ON AND OFF ALSO BUT SUSPECT THAT THEY WERE. ALL WERE IN AND OUT OF ALARM. *TR

DRIVING NORTH FROM DETROIT WITH MY UNCLE,PASSING A SEMI ON I 75 AT ABOUT 70-75. THE ENGINE JUST QUIT,LIKESOME TURNED THE KEY OFF. GOT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD,PUT VEC. IN PARK STARTED BACK UP DROVE HOME. TOOK JEEP TO AL SERRA,S THE 29 TH GOT IT BACK 6/2/14 FOUND NO REASON WHY IT SHUT DOWN. JUNE 15 TH WHEN DRIVING ON BRISTOL ROAD AT 45 MPH IT QUIT AGAIN,TOOK IT BACK TO AL SERRA,S 2DAYS LATER GOT IT BACK,STILL COULDN'T FIND CAUSE. *TR

THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS IS A COMPLAINT CONCERNING A VERY WELL KNOWN ISSUE (ONE FOR WHICH I HAVE READ MANY OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS) IN WHICH THE CARPET AND FLOOR MAT FOR THE DRIVERS COMPARTMENT OF MY JEEP COMMANDER ARE SATURATED AFTER A HARD RAIN AND I AM NOT GETTING ANY SOUND COMING OUT OF MY STEREO (LIKELY DUE TO A SHORT FROM THE WATER). THIS APPEARS TO BE DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH A CLOGGED DRAINAGE TUBE COMING FROM MY SUNROOF. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS OTHER CARS WITH SUNROOFS AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED A SIMILAR PROBLEM. THIS WOULD APPEAR TO BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT ISSUE WHICH SHOULD BE ADDRESSED WITH A FULL RECALL FROM THE MANUFACTURER. *TR

WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THE CAR I HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR IT WOULD SLOW ALL THE WAY DOWN ON THE FREEWAY.THEY WOULD ALWAYS TELL ME IT WAS NOTHING. THE LAST TIME I TOOK IT TO THEM THEY SAID IT WAS THE GEAR, ONLY BECAUSE I PURCHASED A WARRANTY. WHEN I GO UP A HILL OR TURN MY CAR STILL SLOWS DOWN. I'VE BEEN PAYING FOR A CAR THAT HAS NEVER OPERATED CORRECTLY AND I CAN NOT AFFORD TO JUST GET ANOTHER ONE IT CHEAPER TO JUST PAY THE NOTE. *TR

I HIT THE KEY WITH MY KNEE AND THE CAR TURNED OFF. I WAS ON ROUTE 50 IN MARYLAND. LUCKILY I WAS GOING FAST ENOUGH, APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, TO PULL THE CAR OFF THE HIGHWAY TO A SAFE SPOT. AT FIRST I THOUGHT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE CAR. I WAS ABLE TO SEE THAT THE KEY, IN THE IGNITION HAD BEEN PUSHED TO THE OFF POSITION. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR WITHOUT ISSUE. I JUST LEARNED OF THE CONCERN AND I THOUGH IT IMPORTANT TO REPORT THIS. *TR

ALL FOUR DOOR HANDLES HAVE FALLEN APART, FIRST BY THE DOOR PANEL CRACKING AND GIVING WAY, THEN THE HANDLE ASSEMBLIES FELL TO PIECES OVER TIME. MY DAUGHTER RECENTLY CUT HER HAND TRYING TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE, AND THE ONLY WAY TO EXIT THE VEHICLE IS TO ROLL THE WINDOWS DOWN AND OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE HANDLES. IN MY PARTICULAR CASE, THE 2 REAR WINDOW MOTORS HAVE FAILED, SO THE REAR PASSENGERS ARE TRAPPED UNTIL SOMEONE UP FRONT LETS THEM OUT. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE FOR ALL PASSENGERS IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY REQUIRING A QUICK EXIT FROM THE VEHICLE. THE ENTIRE DOOR PANEL IS REQUIRED TO BE REPLACED IN ORDER TO FIX THIS ISSUE, QUOTES ARE ABOUT $600 PER PANEL. THIS SHOULD BE AN EXPENSE BORNE BY THE MANUFACTURER. *TR

I HAVE RANDOMLY CHOSEN AN INCIDENT DATE AS I AM NOT SURE OF THE EXACT DATE THE DOOR HANDLES CAVED IN. WHEN THE FIRST HANDLE CAVED IN I THOUGHT MY DAUGHTER PUSHED TO HARD TO OPEN THE DOOR AND THAT IT COULD BE REPAIRED BY SIMPLY REPLACING THE HANDLE. AS THE MONTHS AND YEARS HAVE GONE ALL FOUR DOOR HANDLES HAVE CAVED IN. AND I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT THE ENTIRE PANEL MUST BE REPLACED FOR EACH TO REPAIR. I AM APPALLED AND SHOCKED THAT JEEP HAS NOT RECALLED THESE DOORS. THIS IS CERTAINLY A SAFETY HAZARD. IT IS SO EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR AS WELL. I AM ALWAYS CONCERNED FOR ANY PASSENGER AS THOSE IN THE REAR ARE TOTALLY UNABLE TO OPEN THE DOORS FROM THE INSIDE. AND THE DRIVER'S DOOR IS JUST ABOUT IN THAT STATE. I WILL SAY ANY DAY NOW. BUT I AM MORESO AFRAID NOW THAT I HAVE A GRANDSON WHOSE SEAT IS LOCATED IN THE BACK. WHAT IF SOMETHING HAPPENS AND THE PERSON SITTING IN THE BACK WITH HIM CAN'T HIM OR THEMSELVES OUT. PLEASE ADVISE AS TO WHAT OR HOW JEEP CAN BE FORCED TO PROTECT US! IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THROUGH INTERNET RESEARCH THAT JEEP RESTRUCTURED THE DOOR DESIGN 2008 AND BEYOND TO ALLEVIATE THIS SAFETY HAZARD. PLEASE ADVISE AS I AM SO FEARFUL OF SOME CATASTROPHIC EVENT TAKING PLACE. *TR

THE SPEED CONTROL ACCELERATED AND KICKED INTO OVERDRIVE. IT JUMPED FROM 65 TO 80 IN JUST A MATTER OF SECONDS. I HAD TO HIT THE BRAKE AND TURN OF THE SPEED CONTROL. IT NOW DOES IT ALL THE TIME WHEN THE CRUISE CONTROL IS ENGAGED. *TR

ALL INTERIOR HANDLES ARE CRACKED OR BROKEN, SHOULD THERE BE AN ACCIDENT OR FIRE,THE OCCUPANTS MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT THE CAR, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN MOST COMMANDERS. CHRYSLER IS WELL AWARE OF THIS , THEY SHOULD RECALL THE JEEPS AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM< BEFORE PEOPLE GET KILLED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH AND COMPLETELY OUT OF THE BLUE THE CAR SHUT OFF AND CARS WERE HONKING AND I HAD TO GET THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I SAT THERE AND WAITED TO MAKE SURE THE CAR WAS NOT OVERHEATING OR ANYTHING ELSE BUT NO LIGHTS HAD COME ON OR ANY TYPE OF WARNING. I THEN STARTED THE CAR BACK UP AND IT RAN FINE BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT HAD COME ON. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO GET FIXED AND THEY SAID IT WAS A LOOSE AIR FILTER BOX. I FIXED THIS AND DID NOT HAVE THE PROBLEM FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND THEN THE OTHER DAY DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 50 MPH THE CAR SHUTOFF. ITS VERY SCARY FOR A CAR TO SUDDENLY SHUT OFF WITH NO WARNING WHATSOEVER AND I'M SO AFRAID I WILL GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. I JUST HAD A RECALL DONE TO THE CAR AND THEY THOUGHT IT WOULD TAKE CARE OF IT BUT IT IS STILL DOING IT. I JUST PAID THIS CAR OFF AND REALLY I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT NOW. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BATTERY DRAINED AND REQUIRED A JUMP, CAUSING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THERE WAS NOT A DIAGNOSTIC COMPLETED ON THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 60,040.

I OPENED MY CAR DRIVER'S DOOR ONE MORNING TO FIND TWO INCHES OF RAINWATER ON THE FLOOR NEAR THE PEDALS. UNABLE TO FIND THE SOURCE, I PUT MY JEEP COMMANDER IN THE SHOP. I WAS CHARGED FOR THEM FIXING THE LEAK THAT NEVER GOT FIXED. I HAVE HAD EVERYTHING CHECKED OUT NUMEROUS TIMES & NO ONE CAN TELL ME HOW WATER GETS IN. HOWEVER INCONVENIENT, I AM PARKING MY CAR IN PARKING GARAGES EVERY TIME IT RAINS NOW, GIVEN THERE SEEMS TO BE NO OTHER SOLUTION. IN ADDITION TO THE LEAK, MY COMMANDER'S RADIO/STEREO JUST STOPPED WORKING. I CAN'T GET IT TO TURN ON OR WORK & AND AM NOW EXPERIENCING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS HAVING TO DO WITH WINDOW CONTROLS. AFTER RESEARCHING MY OPTIONS I LEARNED THAT TOO OFTEN THESE SAME EXACT PROBLEMS APPEAR FOR MANY IF NOT MOST COMMANDER OWNERS. (I ALSO REPORTED A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR STALLING IN IT'S OWN COMPLAINT.) THESE PROBLEMS NEED TO BE ANALYZED BY REAL PROFESSIONALS & THE JEEP COMMANDER MUST BE RECALLED. *TR

MY BELOVED JEEP COMMANDER SUDDENLY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AT 40MPH. WITH NO PRIOR PROBLEMS OR WARNING SIGNS THE ENGINE COMPLETELY STALLED- INSTANTLY I LOST BOTH POWER STEERING & BRAKES. NEEDLESS TO SAY I WAS TERRIFIED. AFTER MUCH CONFUSION & HASSLE I WAS TOLD TO REPLACE MY KEY. (REASON BEING THE 'CHIP' INSIDE WAS MALFUNCTIONING.) I REPLACED THE $270 KEY WHICH SOLVED NOTHING. TO MY SURPRISE, MANY COMMANDER OWNERS EXPERIENCE THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH NO HELP FROM JEEP. NOT ONLY DO JEEP DEALERSHIPS IGNORE THE POTENTIAL RECALL WARNING ON THE COMMANDER, BUT THEY ACTUALLY RECOMMEND EXPENSIVE 'SOLUTIONS' THAT DO NOT EVEN TOUCH THE KNOWN PROBLEM. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THERE ARE NO SOLUTIONS FOR THIS FAULTY SYSTEM, GIVEN THAT NO DEALERSHIP CAN SUCCESSFULLY STOP THE SHUTTING OFF. THERE ARE WAY TOO MANY OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME DANGEROUS STALL. I CANNOT IN GOOD CONSCIENCE IGNORE THE FACT THAT THIS PROBLEM GOES BEYOND INCONVENIENCE; THIS IS POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS AND THE JEEP COMMANDER NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. *TR

DRIVING HOME FROM WORK YESTERDAY, WHEN MY STEERING WHEEL SUDDENLY LOCKED AND TRUCK STARTED DYING, AND I ALMOST HIT A GUARD RAIL . TURNED THE ENGINE COMPLETELY OFF AND TRIED TO TURN THE ENGINE BACK ON, BUT MY TRUCK WOULD NOT START. HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO THE DEALER THAT DAY 04/25/2014. RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE DEALER ON TODAY'S DATE 04/26/2014; TRUCK NEEDS A NEW TIPM MODULE. A NEW TIPM MODULE WAS JUST PUT IN MY TRUCK AT THE SAME DEALER A FEW DAYS SHORT OF A YEAR AGO (04/27/2013). PROBLEM IS SO COMMON WITH CHRYSLER THAT THE MODULE IS ON BACK ORDER (NATIONALLY). THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE AND IT IS SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS! I HAVE READ OTHER COMPLAINTS IN REGARDS TO THE TIPM MODULE (LAWSUITS AS WELL). DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE CHRYSLER DOES SOMETHING? I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE AFTER THE NEW TIPM MODULE IS PUT IN (WHENEVER THAT WILL BE) OR TO HAVE PASSENGERS RIDE IN MY VEHICLE. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'LL DO TO GET BACK AND FORTH TO WORK BECAUSE MODULE IS ON BACK ORDER AND THE DEALER DOES NOT DO LOANERS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ASCENDING AN INCLINE AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST ACCELERATION POWER AND FIRE EMITTED FROM UNDER THE HOOD. THE POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENTS WERE CALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REBUILT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE CONTACT WAS THEN UNABLE TO SHIFT TO DRIVE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 51,000.

MY EIGHT YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER WAS SITTING IN THE THIRD-ROW SEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AS WE DROVE DOWN THE FREEWAY. SHE LEANED FORWARD IN HER SEAT AND THE METAL PART OF THE SEAT BELT RETRACTOR COMPLETELY BROKE OFF ABOVE THE BOLT AND BELOW THE BUCKLE. THIS CAR WAS INVOLVED IN A MINOR FENDER-BENDER TWO YEARS AGO (WITH NO ONE SITTING IN THAT SEAT),BUT IS OTHERWISE ACCIDENT-FREE. AS A MOTHER OF FOUR SMALL CHILDREN, THIS MALFUNCTION IS OF EXTREME CONCERN. I DO MY BEST TO COMPLY WITH ALL THE CAR SEAT LAWS, BUT WHAT DOES IT MATTER IF THE SEAT BELTS THEMSELVES FAIL? *TR

THE DOOR HANDLE ASSEMBLY ON THE DRIVER SIDE HAS BECOME BRITTLE CAUSING THE UNIT TO BREAK POTENTIALLY CAUSING THE DRIVER TO BECOME TRAPPED. THIS IS CONCERNING ESPECIALLY DURING AN EMERGENCY. *TT

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A SERVICE ROAD, MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. IT WOULD NOT RESTART, AND WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT THE VALVE AND VALVE SEATING CAME LOOSE, AND FELL INTO MY CYLINDER, DAMAGING THE PISTON. THEY ARE NOW SAYING THAT I NEED A NEW ENGINE, AS MINE HAS TOO MUCH DAMAGE TO REPAIR. I CONTACTED JEEP CUSTOMER CARE, AND THEY ARE UNWILLING TO REPAIR THE DAMAGE. THE VEHICLE COST $12,500 AND THE NEW ENGINE, ONLY 2 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING IT, WILL COST ROUGHLY $7,000 WITHOUT INCLUDING LABOR. FROM MY RESEARCH, THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM, THAT JEEP KNOWS ABOUT, BUT IS UNWILLING TO FIX. *JS

I HAD PARKED MY JEEP ON A HILL I GOT OUT AND WALKED ABOUT 20 FEET IN BACK OF THE JEEP AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEAR A SOUND OF MOVEMENT AND I SAW THE JEEP MOVING DOWN THE HILL I WAS ABLE TO RUN FAST ENOUGH TO GET INTO THE JEEP AND PULL THE PARKING BRAKE WHICH STOPPED IT. I FORGOT ABOUT THE RECALL THAT WAS ON IT WITH THE FINAL DRIVE CONTROLLER MODULE I HAD CALLED THE JEEP DEALER TO TELL THEM THAT WERE I LIVE THEY DON'T HAVE THE PROPER SOFTWARE TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR IN ANY SHOP. I LIVE ON THE ISLAND OF KODIAK AK. THEY SAID THEY WERE WORKING ON GETTING THIS SOFTWARE TO A REPAIR SHOP HERE HOWEVER, AFTER I DIDN'T HEAR FROM THEM FOR SIX MONTHS I CALLED BACK AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY COULDN'T HELP ME AND I HAD TO TAKE MY JEEP TO THEM ON THE MAINLAND. I CAN'T AFFORD TO FERRY MY JEEP TO THE MAINLAND AND THEN STAY OVER THERE UNTIL THEY CAN REPAIR IT THEN FERRY IT BACK. SO NOW I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SITUATION WHICH COULD HAVE ENDED DIFFERENTLY THEN IT DID I AM THANKFUL NO ONE WAS HURT. *JS

OCTOBER, 2013 RECEIVED NOTIFICATION THAT THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL ON MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. (AS I HAVE 6 CHILDREN, THIS WAS A PRIORITY TO HAVE FIXED) I BROUGHT MY JEEP INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE N23 SAFETY RECALL PERFORMED. COME JANUARY, 2014 I ATTEMPT TO ACTIVATE MY 4 WHEEL LOW AND I GET A SERVICE LIGHT STATING "SERVICE 4WD". I CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP WHO HAD PERFORMED THE RECALL AND BRING IT IN TO BE LOOKED AT. THEY RUN A DIAGNOSIS AND DETERMINE THE TRUCK HAS AN INTERNAL SHORT IN THE TRANSFER CASE. THE SERVICE TECH ADVISED ME IT IS RELATED TO THE RECALL BUT HE CAN NOT DO ANYTHING AT THE DEALER LEVEL. I NEED TO CALL CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE WHO TELLS ME THEY WILL NOT BE DOING ANYTHING TO HELP. UPON A LITTLE RESEARCH (JEEP FORUMS) IT SEEMS THERE ARE MANY (MANY) OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUES. I AM SURE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE TO CALL JEEP WITH THIS ISSUE AND IF YOU CLEAR THE CODES THE 4 WHEEL LOW ENGAGES SO IT IS NOT A SHORT. I BELIEVE CHRYSLER JEEP SHOULD LOOK INTO WHAT WAS PERFORMED WITH THE N23 RECALL AND DETERMINE HOW IT EFFECTED THE 4 WHEEL LOW ON THESE VEHICLES. THEN REPROGRAM THEM TO WORK, AS THEY WERE, AT NO COST TO THE OWNER. SINCE THIS WAS A SAFETY RECALL I FELT I HAD NO OPTION BUT TO HAVE THE RECALL PERFORMED ON MY VEHICLE NOW I HAVE A FAULTY VEHICLE. DEALER TELLS ME THEY NEED TO UPDATE 4 WHEEL DRIVE BUT CANT DO IT BECAUSE IT IS NOT IN THE RECALL THIS HAS GONE ON FOR WAY 2 LONG . I AM GOING TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE BETTER BUSINESS AND I ASK EVERYONE WITH THIS

THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF. THE DASH GAUGES FLICKER AND/OR GO OFF FOR A BRIEF TIME. IF BREAKS ARE ENGAGED AT THAT TIME, ABS STOPS. IF HEADLIGHTS ARE ON AUTO, THEY TURN OFF. IF TURNING A HARD LEFT OR RIGHT (SUCH AS TURNING INTO A DRIVEWAY, TURNING ON TO A STREET, PARKING) POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING. IF THE LIGHTS ARE ON BUT NOT ON AUTO THE LIGHTS STAY ON. THE RADIO STAYS ON. THESE SYMPTOMS WOULD INDICATE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH. WHEN THIS ISSUE OCCURS, IT SEEMS TO STOP BY PUSHING ON THE KEY. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. AFTER VISITING THIS PAGE, A LOG WILL BE CREATED TO RECORD DATE, TIME, AND SPEED. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH MANY USERS OF INTERNET FORUMS FOR JEEPS, COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS ISSUE (REFERENCE URLS CAN BE PROVIDED). THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V047000 SOUNDS VERY SIMILAR IN NATURE. COULD THE NHTSA LOOK IN TO THE PARTS BEING THE SAME? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE TRAVELING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. A CRASH OCCURRED AFTER THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS INTERMITTENTLY FAILED. THE FAILURE WAS DIAGNOSED BY A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHERE THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 85,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 113,8096.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER AND CAUSED HER TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE VEERED OFF THE ROADWAY AND CRASHED INTO SEVERAL TREES. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED OF THE INCIDENT. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER AND A REAR PASSENGER WERE AIR LIFTED FROM THE SCENE FOR TREATMENT OF SEVERE INJURIES. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT BOTH PASSENGERS HAD TO UNDERGO SEVERAL SURGERIES TO RECONSTRUCT THE MUSCLED IN THEIR LEGS WHICH WERE DAMAGED IN THE CRASH. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND WAS NOT INSPECTED TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

THIS VEHICLE HAS NUMEROUS RECALLS RELATED TO ALL THE PROBLEMS OUR JEEP HAS. THERE IS 0 RECALL FOR OUR VIN. THE VEHICLE SURGES WHEN DRIVING UP HILLS. THE CAR WON'T START SOMETIMES BECAUSE THE SHIFTER CONTROL THINKS IT IS IN DRIVE WHEN IT IS IN PARK. THE CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK AND THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE KICKS IN WHEN DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS AND JUMPS THE CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED THEN ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN AND REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 08V203000 (POWER TRAIN). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,007 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 102,000. UPDATED 07/16/14 MA

AT AROUND OR ABOUT THE SPEED OF 55 MPH ,I HERE A LOUD AND SCARY THUMPING OR GRINDING SOUND UNDER THE CAR. IT SOUNDS LIKE ITS RIGHT UNDERNEATH MY SEAT. I IMMEDIATELY GOT OFF THE EXPRESSWAY AND SLOWED DOWN. THAT SEEMED TO HELP THE SOUND GO AWAY.WHEN I DRIVE TO WORK IN THE MORNING, I ONLY DRIVE 35 MPH AND I CAN HERE THE SOUND ALSO AND WHEN I LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR THE SOUND STOPS, BUT CONTINUES WHEN I PRESS ON THE GAS. PLS NOTIFY ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE WITH ANY HELPFUL INFORMATION AS I DO DRIVE WITH LITTLE CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. I WILL TAKE THE CAR TO THE JEEP DEALER TO GET CHECKED OUT. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE SEAT BELT ON THE THIRD ROW RIGHT SIDE SEAT IS COMPLETELY STUCK TIGHT AGAINST THE SEAT. THIS HAS TO BE A DEFECT BECAUSE WE RARELY USE THE THIRD ROW SEATS ON MY VEHICLE. WORST PART IS THAT I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN THAT COULD HAVE BEEN HURT VERY BADLY BECAUSE OF THE SEAT BELT. FURTHERMORE, THE SEAT BELTS ON THE SECOND ROW SEATS ARE COMPLETELY FALLING APART BECAUSE OF THE LOW QUALITY PLASTICS BEING USED BY JEEP. ONE SEAT BELT ON THE SECOND ROW HAS BECOME COMPLETELY USELESS BECAUSE IT JUST WONT CLICK IN ANYMORE. I HAVE 2 OTHER VEHICLES (2006 FORD F150, 2005 FORD FOCUS) WITH WHICH I HAVE NO TROUBLE WITH THE SEAT BELTS AT ALL. IN FACT, THE SEAT BELTS ON MY TWO OTHER VEHICLES LOOK AS GOOD AS NEW AND MY CHILDREN RIDE IN THEM JUST AS MUCH AS THEY RIDE MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO NO AVAIL. I NOTIFIED BOTH ABOUT THE DANGER OF MY 5 AND 9 YEAR OLD CHILDREN RIDING IN THE VEHICLE BUT HAVE GOTTEN NO POSITIVE RESPONSES. I AM WRITING TO THIS GOVERNMENT AGENCY BEFORE I GO SPEND HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO GET THE SEAT BELTS FIXED. PLEASE RESPOND BACK. *TR
