2006 Jeep Commander complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR CONDITION FAILED AND WOULD NOT BLOW COLD AIR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE DEALER PERFORMED A LEAK TEST THAT LOCATED THE FAILURE AT THE AIR CONDITIONING LINES. THE AIR CONDITIONING LINES WERE LOCATED AT THE REAR WHEEL AND ACCUMULATED SALT, THUS CAUSING THE AIR CONDITIONER LINES TO CORRODE AND LEAK. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 93,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 106,000.

THE PLASTIC HOUSING ON INTERIOR DOOR LATCHES IS FAULTY. THE DRIVER SIDE REAR DOOR IS COMPLETELY INOPERABLE. IT MUST BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE FRONT TWO DOOR LATCHES ARE CRACKED AND BEGINNING TO LOOSEN. THE REAR DOOR WAS NOTED AS A SAFETY CONCERN BY A COWORKER DURING A WORK-RELATED TRIP. THE EMPLOYEE UNDERSTANDABLY REFUSES TO DRIVE IN THE VEHICLE GOING FORWARD. THE PROBLEM IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND AN EMBARRASSMENT WHEN CONDUCTING BUSINESS JUNCTURES. I ATTEMPTED TO GET THE FAULTY DOOR HANDLE REPAIRED ON 4/20/11, BUT RECEIVED DOCUMENTATION THAT THE PANEL ASSEMBLY IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE PLATINUM DEALERSHIP WARRANTY. THE OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSE FOR ONE HANDLE IS OVER $500 AS THE ENTIRE DOOR PANEL MUST BE REPLACED. THE REPAIR WAS NOT COMPLETED. *JS

TWO OF MY INSIDE DOOR HANDLES HAVE BROKEN. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT IN AN EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY MY FAMILY AND I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT THE CAR. WITH FOUR CHILDREN IT IS PARAMOUNT THAT THIS PROBLEM IS RECTIFIED. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH I FOUND THAT MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THIS MODEL AND YEAR VEHICLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. IN ADDITION, IT IS DIFFICULT TO PROCURE REPLACEMENT PARTS. I FEEL THAT JEEP SHOULD TAKE SOME SENSE OF OWNERSHIP FOR THE INHERIT PROBLEM AND OFFER TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM AT THEIR EXPENSE. *JS

JEEP COMMANDER DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT BELTS DO NOT LOCK INTO PLACE CORRECTLY. TO GET THEM TO LOCK YOU HAVE TO PRESS AND HOLD IN THE RED BUTTON, THEN TO UNLOCK THE SEAT BELT YOU ALSO HAVE TO PRESS THE RED BUTTON. NOW IN ADDITION, THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT WHEN LOCKED INTO PLACE - THE ALARM GOES OFF AS IF THE SEAT BELT IS NOT ENGAGED AND THE DASH LIGHT ALSO IS LIT UP. SOMETIMES WITH MULTIPLE LOCK/UNLOCK ATTEMPTS THE ALARM MAY GO OFF. OFTEN IT CHIMES RELENTLESSLY EVEN WHEN SEAT BELT IS ENGAGED. CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE WILL NOT FULLY REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE SEAT BELTS EVEN THOUGH IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WARNING LAMPS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WOULD FLICKER ON AND OFF SPORADICALLY. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED SEVERAL TIMES IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 104,000.

2006 JEEP COMMANDER 4.7L. INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS ALL FLASH RANDOMLY ON AND SPEEDOMETER FLUCTUATES UP AND DOWN, OCCASIONALLY RADIO SHUTS OFF TOO WHEN THIS CYCLE HAPPENS. LOSS OF POWER AND CAR STALLS WITHOUT WARNING AT LOW SPEED. *JS

ALL INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ARE BROKEN. 3 OUT OF THE 4 ARE AT THE POINT WHERE IT'S VERY DIFFICULT AND TAKES A LONG TIME TO OPEN THE DOOR. THE PLASTIC PANELS BEHIND THE DOOR HANDLES ARE BROKEN. YOU HAVE TO WIGGLE THE HANDLE AROUND TO FIND THE RIGHT SPOT THAT OPENS THE DOOR. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. IT INCREASES THE RISK OF PASSENGERS BEING TRAPPED IN THE CAR IF IT WAS TO CATCH FIRE. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS AND CENTER CONSOLE LIGHTS FLASHED CONTINUOUSLY, DISTRACTING THE CONTACT FROM DRIVING AT NIGHT.

TCM DOWNSHIFTS WHILE DRIVING ON 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. TCM AND LINKAGE REPLACED FEB 2011 TO ADDRESS SITUATION. THE NEW TCM IS WORSE. IT WILL DOWNSHIFT TO LOWEST GEAR AND STAY THERE REGARDLESS OF VEH SPEED (HAS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY). THE PARKING ASSIST DISABLE LIGHT WILL COME ON AS A WARNING THEN THE TRANSMISSION WILL DOWNSHIFT. STOPPING THE VEHICLE AND PUTTING IT IN PARK REQUIREDTO ADDRESS THE SITUATION. VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND CHRYSLER WILL NOT HELP. HAPPENS ONCE A DAY.

ELECTRICAL DASH BOARD BLINKS WHILE DRIVING, DRIVER'S SEAT MOVES WHILE DRIVING, WHEN IT RAINS THE DRIVER'S FLOOR IS SOAKED WITH WATER AND PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR IS WET AS WELL, VEHICLE JERKS WHILE DRIVING. INDICATION LIGHTS POPS ON DASHBOARD SPORADICALLY, RADIO AND NAVIGATION DOESN'T WORK. *TR

I WAS DRIVING IN MY COMMUNITY ON A LOCAL STREET AT RATE OF 45 MILES HOUR. FOR NO REASON, MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER STALLED AND I HAD NO POWER OR ANYTHING CONTROL OF THE CAR. SCARY TO SAY THE LEAST. I HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTART MY CAR. NOW, WHEN I TRY TO START IT, THE HORN WILL NOT STOP AND I CANNOT TURN OFF MY FOG LAMPS OR HIGH BEAMS. NOW I AM MAD AND WANT ANSWERS. I PAY A LOT OF MONEY TO KEEP THIS CAR IN GOOD SHAPE, NOW THIS. *TR

THE AIR CONDITIONER MADE A LOUD NOISE AND THEN SMOKE BEGAN POURING OUT OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I OBSERVED SMOKE COMING FROM THE AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR. I HAD TO PUT THE FIRE OUT WITH WATER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE ENGINE WAS RESTARTED AND THE VEHICLE RESUMED AS NORMAL. THE FAILURE RECURRED SPORADICALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 08V203000 (POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE; TCM, PCM). THE SAME DAY THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED THE ENGINE STALLING FAILURE. THE RECALL REMEDY DID NOT CORRECT THE MALFUNCTION. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE 109,000.

IN THE 5 YEARS I HAVE OWNED THE 2006 JEEP COMMANDER IT HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING, STALLED WHILE PARKED. THIS HAPPENS AT NO SET FREQUENCY. SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS DAILY, OTHER TIMES IT WILL GO FOR MONTHS AND NOT HAPPEN. THE DASH LIGHTS REPEATEDLY FLASH OFF AND ON. SOME DASH LIGHTS DON'T WORK AT ALL FOR MONTHS THEN LIKE MAGIC WORK FINE FOR MONTHS. THE VEHICLE SPUTTERS WHEN ACCELERATING ALL THE TIME AND AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. IF I AM CROSSING OR TURINING I NEED TO MAKE SURE I HAVE LIKE 2 MILES BETWEEN ME AND ONCOMING TRAFFIC IN CASE IT DECIDES TO NOT WORK THAT TIME AND I GET STUCK IN THE INTERSECTION. THE CRUISE CONTROL NO LONGER WORKS. LUCKILY THE COMPUTER WENT OUT THAT CONTROLS THE CRUISE SO I CAN'T USE IT. THE CRUISE USED TO JUST SPEED UP AND SLOW DOWN ON ITS OWN. I WILL BE DRIVING ALONG AND ALL OF A SUDDEN WITHOUT NOTICE THE CAR WILL FLOOR ITSELF AND NOT STOP UNTIL I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL. REGARDLESS OF WHAT TEMPERATURE I HAVE THE HEATER SET TO THERE IS CONSTANTLY EXTREMELY HOT AIR BLOWING ON MY FEET. I CAN NOT DRIVE WITHOUT SHOES ON OR THE HOT AIR LITERALLY BURNS MY FEET. OVERALL- THERE ARE SOME SERIOUS ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL ISSUES WITH THE JEEP COMMANDER. I GOOGLED JEEP COMMANDER AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS (I AM SURE THOUSANDS) OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE OPERATED AS NORMAL UPON RESTART. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD INTERMITTENTLY EXPERIENCE DIFFICULTY STARTING AND REQUIRED A JUMP START. IN ADDITION, THE WINDOWS WOULD INVOLUNTARILY BEGIN OPENING WHEN HE INTENDED TO CLOSE THEM. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE COULD POSSIBLY HAVE BEEN DUE TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED BUT THE FAILURES CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 08V203000 (POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM, PPM)). NO ADDITIONAL REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

WHEN I BOUGHT MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER FROM BURNS MOTORS I DID NOT NOTICE THAT THE DRIVER DOOR HANDLE (PLASTIC CUP WHERE HANDLE GOES) WAS CRACKED. SURE ENOUGH WHEN MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING HE LEANED HIS KNEE ON THE DOOR AND THERE WAS A LOUD POP AND HANDLE CUP CAME OFF IN ABOUT 3-4 PIECES. I THEN NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE CUP WAS ALSO CRACKED, SO WITHIN A FEW MONTHS IT CAME OFF IN SEVERAL PIECES TOO. NOW WITH ABOUT 2 YEARS WITH THIS VEHICLE, I HAVE ALL 4 DOOR HANDLES BROKEN. I HAVE ALSO GOTTEN AN ESTIMATE AT THE DEALERSHIP WHEN I TOOK IT FOR SERVICE AND GOT AN ESTIMATE OF ABOUT 1,200 FOR 2 DOORS ONLY. I HAVE ALSO CHECK FOR PARTS ONLINE AND YOU NEED TO A DOOR TO GET THIS PIECE WHICH RANGES FROM 600 TO 1000 DOLLARS FOR 1 DOOR. NOW I AM STARTING TO GET VERY CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY ISSUES SINCE I HAVE 3 KIDS AND WOULDN'T EVEN WHAT TO THINK, WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF I NEEDED TO GET OUT IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY. I HAVE ALSO HAD MY PASSENGER COMPANIONS FIND IT VERY FRUSTRATING TO OPEN FROM OUTSIDE OR WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO OPEN DOOR FOR THEM. THERE SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL SINCE WE ARE A LOT OF CUSTOMERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE FROM CHRYSLER COMPANY. THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ MY CONCERN. GREATLY APPRECIATED AND HOPE SOMETHING GETS DONE TO HELP THE MANY CUSTOMERS LIKE ME THAT ARE CONCERN ABOUT THEIR SAFETY. *TR

A FEW MONTHS AGO THE INTERIOR DOOR TRIM ON THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT DOOR SHATTERED AROUND THE DOOR HANDLE. THE DOOR HANDLE STILL RELEASES THE DOOR BUT YOU NEED TO WIGGLE IT AROUND A BIT AND GET IT ALIGNED PROPERLY BEFORE BEING ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR. NOT DRIVING THE VEHICLE OFTEN AND THINKING IT WAS JUST A SMALL, EASILY REPLACED PART I DID NOT TAKE IT TOO SERIOUSLY. IT WAS ONLY WHEN I LOOKED INTO IT, REALIZED IT WAS THE WHOLE DOOR PANEL AND SAW THAT SO MANY OTHER OWNERS WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM THAT I DECIDED TO REPORT IT. AS A FIREFIGHTER, AND HAVING RESPONDED TO FATAL CAR FIRES, I WOULD HATE TO THINK OF WHAT MAY HAPPEN IF SOMEONE WAS TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT AND HAD TO GET OUT OF THEIR VEHICLE QUICKLY BUT COULDN'T BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT AFFORD TO FIX THIS ISSUE WHICH COSTS IN EXCESS OF $500 PER DOOR. *TR

2006 JEEP COMMANDER DOES NOT START. WE HAVE TO TRY ABOUT 30 TIMES SOMETIMES TO GET IT TO START. IT JUST MAKES A CLICKING NOISE. ALSO THE JEEP COMMANDER WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING. (VERY DANGEROUS) ESPECIALLY WITH TWO KIDS. ANOTHER PROBLEM IS IT GETS STUCK IN LOW GEAR OR 4X4 (NOT SURE WHICH). I HAVE READ COMPLAINT AFTER COMPLAINT ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THESE SAME PROBLEMS WITH MANY MANY 2006 COMMANDERS. I AM VERY DISPLEASED WITH HOW JEEP HAS SWEPT THESE PROBLEMS UNDER THE CARPET. YES, THEY HAVE HAD A FEW RECALLS, BUT NOTHING TO FIX THESE VERY SERIOUS AND VERY DANGEROUS DEFECTS. PLEASE HELP, AS WE SPENT A GOOD AMOUNT OF MONEY ON WHAT WE THOUGHT AND NEEDED TO BE A RELIABLE VEHICLE. IT IS NOT RELIABLE AT ALL. *TR

THE INTERIOR ELECTRICAL LIGHTING SYSTEMS OFTEN GOES OUT WHILE DRIVING IN BELOW FREEZING TEMPERATURES. THIS INCLUDES ALL SPEEDOMETER, TACHOMETER, AND DASH LIGHTS FOR ALL CONTROLS. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW IN FEBRUARY 2007. AFTER FIVE YEARS, THE LED LIGHTS ILLUMINATING THE SWITCHES FOR THE FAN SPEED, TEMPERATURE CONTROL, AND HEATED SEATS. I REPORTED THIS UNDER WARRANTY BUT NOW I AM TOLD I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIR. THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT FIND THE ELECTRICAL FAULT. THE LED SWITCH BULBS CANNOT SIMPLY BE REPLACED AS THE ENTIRE UNIT FOR EACH CONTROL MUST BE REPLACED. THE ENGINE WAS MAKING A PINGING SOUND AND THE DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED IT WRONG 3 TIMES. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY WHEN FIRST REPORTED. MANY MONTHS LATER AFTER WARRANTY LAPSED THE DEALERSHIP'S CORRECTIVE FIX WAS REPLACING ONE SIDE OF THE ENGINE'S HYDRAULIC LIFTERS. THIS MADE THE PROBLEM A BIT BETTER BUT DID NOT RESOLVE IT. *TR

THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES WERE POORLY DESIGNED AND HAVE ALL CRACKED ONLY AFTER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME WITH NORMAL USE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO THE FACT THAT PASSENGERS WOULD HAVE DIFFICULTY EXITING VEHICLE IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS VEHICLE. I'VE READ NUMEROUS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS. CHRYSLER DOES SEEM TO WANT RECOGNIZE THIS AS MANUFACTURING/DESIGN FLAW, WHICH IS UNFORTUNATE SINCE IT IS RATHER COSTLY TO REPLACE THE DOOR HANDLES. TO REPLACE ALL FOUR WOULD COST $2,000 PLUS DOLLARS. PLEASE DO SOMETHING TO PROTECT THE CUSTOMERS, WHO DESERVE BETTER. *TR

I HAD A WARRANTY ON MY JEEP AND CALLED IN ABOUT MY SEATS BELT IN 2008, TOLD THE COMPANY MY REAR SEATBELTS WERE FALLING APART AND NOT ABLE TO CLICK INTO PLACE, AS WELL AS MY 2ND ROW SEAT BELTS THE PLASTIC AROUND THEM ARE FALLING OFF AND THE BELTS ARE NOT LOCKING. THE DAIMLER CHRYSLER WARRANTY COMPANY TOLD ME IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY RECALL, BUT THIS WOULD BE A DEFECT IN THE SEAT BELTS NOT LOCKING INTO BELTS CLASPS AND NOT PLASTIC IS COMING OFF, AND MY KIDS ARE COMING OUT OF THE SEATBELTS, ALMOST ENDING UP IN A WRECK BACK IN 2007, REP FROM WARRANTY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR SEATBELTS TO BE LOOKED AT. I AM UNABLE TO SECURELY PUT MY KIDS IN THE BACK SEATS NOW. I AM RESEARCHING RECALLS NOW AND SEEN I CAN MAKE A FORMAL COMPLAINT. *TR

THE HEADLIGHTS BEGIN TO FLASH ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. THE LIGHTS WITHIN THE INSTRUMENT CONTROL PANEL ARE NOT ILLUMINATED AND FLASH AS WELL. I HAVE TO MANUALLY TURN THE LIGHTS OFF THEN TURN THEM BACK ON NUMEROUS TIMES TO GET THE FLASHING TO STOP. IT IS A VERY SCARY, DANGEROUS, AND EMBARRASSING PROBLEM WHEN IT HAPPENS. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR A FEW YEARS NOW. THE DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THERE ARE NO RECALLS OR WARRANTIES RELATED TO THE FAILURE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN TRYING TO START HER VEHICLE IT WOULD STALL INTERMITTENTLY. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL SPEEDOMETER GAUGE FAILED AND WOULD NOT DISPLAY HOW FAST THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD NOT OPERATE WHEN THEY WERE TURNED ON. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO ADVISED HER THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE STATED IT COULD BE RELATED TO THE NEGATIVE SIDE OF THE CAN-B BUS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 82,000.

THE AIRBAG SENSOR FOR THE 2006 JEEP COMMANDERS SEEMS TO BE A PREVALENT ISSUE. AFTER DOING A WEB SEARCH THE ISSUE SEEMS TO BE PREDOMINANTLY WITH 2006 JEEP COMMANDERS. THE DASH AIRBAG LIGHT COMES IN BECAUSE OF A SENSOR ISSUE. THIS IS IRRESPECTIVE OF MILEAGE. INDIVIDUALS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS ISSUE WHEN THE JEEP WAS AS LITTLE AS A YEAR OLD. *TR

THE STALLING PROBLEMS WITH MY JEEP STARTED THE FIRST WEEK I BOUGHT IT. IT HAD 17,000 MILES. IT WOULD IDLE AND THEN STALL AT STOP LIGHTS OR WHEN PARKED OR JUST SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING. LUCKILY EACH TIME I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT BEING HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. OTHER PROBLEMS INCLUDE NOT STARTING SPORADICALLY. BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE, ALTERNATOR REPLACED. IN THE SHOP 5 DIFFERENT TIMES FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM AND THEY TELL ME NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. OTHER MODELS FROM THE SAME YEAR WERE RECALLED FOR SIMILAR ISSUES BUT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. ALSO, SEAT BELT IN 2ND ROW DOES NOT LATCH. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING BECAUSE THERE ARE 700+ COMPLAINTS ON HERE FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG!! *TR

I OWN A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER LTD. WITH THE 5.7L HEMI. DATE OF MANUFACTURER WAS 06/06. IN THE PAST YEAR MY COMMANDER HAS BEGAN STALLING OUT SPORADICALLY WHILE STOPPED COMPLETELY. IT OCCURS AT ANY TIME, NIGHT OR DAY, USUALLY ONLY WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD OR COOL. THE PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AT A STOP SIGN, STOP LIGHT, OR ANY OTHER COMPLETE STOP IN DRIVE OR REVERSE. WHEN I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP THE RPM'S DROP AND THE VEHICLE STALLS OUT. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS SHOW UP ON THE DASH. WHEN IT OCCURS AT NIGHT ALL THE EXTERNAL VEHICLE LIGHTS TURN OFF, THUS MAKING ME AND MY VEHICLE VULNERABLE TO OTHER TRAFFIC. IT DOES NOT TRIP A CODE IN THE COMPUTER SO THE DEALER CANNOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THE FIRST TIME I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR MAINTENANCE REGARDING THE PROBLEM THE DEALER RECOMMENDED I REPLACE THE EGR VALVE SO I DID WHAT THEY RECOMMENDED. THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS. THE DEALER ADVISED ME THAT THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM THEREFORE THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. WHEN MY VEHICLE STALLS OUT IT TYPICALLY WILL DO IT 3-5 ADDITIONAL TIMES PER TRIP AND IT HAPPENS AT LEAST ONCE PER WEEK. I HAVE READ THAT NUMEROUS PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS AND JEEP HAS NO FIX. I AM VERY CONCERNED WITH THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE AS I WAS NEARLY STRUCK BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. RECENTLY I WAS TRAVELING DOWN THE STREET AT NIGHT AND WAS PREPARING TO TURN LEFT AT A STOP LIGHT. I STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION TO WAIT FOR THE ONCO

TWO DOOR HANDLES BROKE AND I WAS UNABLE TO OPEN DOORS, THE PLASTIC SHATTERED IN PIECES. I HAD TO GET OUT BY THE PASSENGER SIDE. I LOVE JEEP BUT THIS IS SIMPLY JUNK! *KB

THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS YEAR ROUND. ONCE YOU PUT THE VEHICLE INTO DRIVE, ALL OF THE SHIFT LIGHTS "PRND" LIGHT UP AND THE VEHICLE WON'T ACCELERATE. IF YOU ARE ALREADY DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD/ FREEWAY, IT WILL RANDOMLY LIGHT UP AND STOP ACCELERATING. WHEN IT RANDOMLY OCCURS, IT HAPPENS WITH NO WARNING, AND YOU HAVE TO ATTEMPT TO PULL THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF ROAD, PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL OR PARK OR RESTART THE VEHICLE, AND ATTEMPT IT AGAIN. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON AND THE PROBLEM WILL HAPPEN REPEATEDLY OVER A WEEK PERIOD, THEN THE PROBLEM WILL STOP FOR A WEEK OR TWO AND THEN RESURFACE AT THE WORST TIME- FOR EXAMPLE AN INTERSECTION, AN ON-RAMP, A BUSY STREET, AND IT HAS PRESENTED HUGE SAFETY ISSUES FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. DOES IT TAKE SOMEONE DYING FOR THIS TO GET RECALLED? I HAVE READ FORUM AFTER FORUM OF THE SAME ISSUE AMONGST CONSUMERS WITH MY EXACT MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR (AND EARLIER MODELS) AND YET, WHEN I CALLED JEEP, THEY SAY THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF IT, THERE IS NO RECALL, AND I'VE BEEN TURNED AWAY. *KB

MY COMMANDER IS STALLING WHILE DRIVING. AND AT TIMES JUST WILL NOT START. SEVERAL INCIDENTS DATING BACK TO YEARS. . I BOUGHT THIS COMMANDER NEW, NO MILES. ONE INCIDENT I WAS DRIVING GOING OVER 50 MPH AND ALL DASH BOARD LIGHTS CAME ON AND IT JUST STALLED. ANOTHER TIME STALLED SITTING AT RED LIGHT AND ALL DASH BOARD LIGHTS CAME ON AND IT STALLED. AND OVER 10 TIMES IT JUST WON'T START. RIGHT NOW IT IS BROKE DOWN, JUST WON'T START. OVER THE YEARS I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE STARTER IT WAS REPLACE 8/3/2010 (I HAD TO PAY FOR STARTER, LABOR AND TOWING) THEN NEXT TIME I REPLACED THE BATTERY. AND STILL THE SAME PROBLEMS. I DID A CHECK ON RECALLS AND FOUND THE 2008 COMMANDERS WAS RECALLED FOR THE SAME REASONS. WHY HAVEN'T THE 2006 COMMANDERS BEEN RECALLED? THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM. I COULD BE IN A WRECK WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I HAVE CHILDREN IN MY COMMANDER AGE 17 MONTHS AND 8 MONTHS. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED. CHRYSLER KNOWS THIS IS A EXISTING PROBLEM FOR OTHER YEAR COMMANDERS, THEY FIXED THEM WHY NOT MINE??? AND I FEEL SINCE CHRYSLER ACCEPTED THIS RECALL IN OTHER YEARS AND IF I WRECK CHRYSLER WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MY WRECK AND ANY INJURIES. ALL I WANT IS FOR CHRYSLER TO FIX MY COMMANDER.... *TR

I AM 5 MONTHS PREGNANT AND MY DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT WILL NOT CLICK INTO THE LATCH EASILY. I HAVE TO LITERALLY BANG IT TO GET THE LATCH TO CATCH. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY AND INTERGITY OF BELT ESPECIALLY IF IN A CRASH-WILL IT COME UNLATCH? PLUS, BEING MIDWAY THROUGH MY PREGNANCY I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE OTHER SEAT BELTS IN THE CAR, ESPECIALLY THE ONE I WILL BE USING TO CARRY MY CHILD IN. I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT A SAFE CAR SEAT NOW I MUST BE CONCERNED ABOUT THE SEAT BELT AS WELL!!! MY VEHICLES SEAT BELT WARNING SYSTEM WILL NOT ALERT TO UNCLICKED BELT. IT ASSUMES THAT THE BELT IS LATCHED IN PLACE. *TR

ALL INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ARE CRACKED AND 2 OF THEM AREN'T OPERABLE AND MYSELF AND KIDS CAN'T GET OUT OF THE JEEP WITH GETTING HELP FROM AN OUTSIDE PERSON TO OPEN THE DOOR. *TR

MULTIPLE TIMES; WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE STALLS. VEHICLE FLUCTUATES WHILE IDLING AND THEN FINALLY STALLS. *TR

THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLE OF THE RIGHT REAR PASSENGER SEAT BROKE LOOSE PREVENTING THE OCCUPANT FROM EXITING THE CAR. THREE MONTHS LATER, THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLE OF THE LEFT REAR PASSENGER SEAT BROKE LOOSE IN THE SAME MANNER. NOW THE DRIVER'S INSIDE DOOR HANDLE IS CRACKED AND DOOMED TO FAIL. WITHOUT THESE HANDLES FUNCTIONING PROPERLY, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO EGRESS THE VEHICLE WITHOUT BEING LET OUT BY SOMEONE OUTSIDE THE CAR OR BY LOWERING THE WINDOW AND AWKWARDLY USING THE OUTSIDE HANDLE. VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR SEAT BELTS HAD BEEN CUT AND DESTROYED BY THE REAR RETRACTABLE SEAT. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 06V037000 (SEAT BELTS:REAR) BUT WAS ADVISED BY THE MANUFACTURER THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED BECAUSE IT WAS NOT BUILT AT A PLANT AFFECTED BY THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 78,463 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED UNEXPECTEDLY. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND RESUME NORMAL OPERATION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRS TO THE VEHICLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT NOTICED THE FRONT AND REAR DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HANDLES WERE CRACKED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS. THE TECHNICIAN STATED ALL FOUR DOOR PANELS WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000.

PROBLEMS BEGAN 1 DAY AFTER COMMANDER WENT IN TO DEALER FOR THE REGULAR 3,000MILE OIL CHANGE, THAT CAR WAS RETURNED TO ME AFTER THAT OIL CHANGE, AS 'GOOD TO GO'; W/IN 24 HOURS OF THAT OIL CHANGE, THE COMMANDER WOULD NOT START AND REQUIRED A NEW STARTER (30K MILES). AFTER THE STARTER WAS REPLACED, THE COMMANDER WAS STALLING IF - IN THE MIDDLE OF A SLIGHT INCLINE IT HAD TO BRAKE AND THEN RESUME - AT THE RESUME IT WOULD STALL. ALSO, AFTER STARTER REPLACED DASHBOARD LIGHTS BLINKING; TRANSMISSION COOLER LINES LEAKING, POWER STEERING LINE FROM PUMP TO COOLER LEAKING, AND FRONT AND BACK BRAKE ROTORS HAD TO BE REPLACED (42K MILES) 60K MILES, THE CRUISE CONTROL TURNS ON BY ITSELF AND THE REAR PARK ASSIST TURNS OFF BY ITSELF; THE WATER LEAK INTO FRONT PASSENGER WELL. SPEAKING WITH CUSTOM RELATIONS AT CHRYSLER CORPORATE REGARDING CRUISE CONTROL, REAR ASSIST AND WATER LEAK PROBLEMS THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF THESE BEING A PROBLEM FOR MOST COMMANDER CUSTOMERS; HOWEVER, CHRYSLER JEEP IS AWARE OF THESE PROBLEMS AS EVIDENCED BY THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS PUBLISHED ON THEM YET CHRYSLER JEEP DOES NOT ISSUE A RECALL/TAKE FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR MANUFACTURER DEFECTS. MORE: CHRYSLER JEEP EXPECTS ME TO PAY THEM TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEMS SO THAT THEN SO LONG AS I HAVE PAID A DEALER TO REPAIR THEM THEY WILL CONSIDER (NOT NECESSARILY APPROVE; IN THE PAST THEY HAVE IN FACT DENIED ME REIMBUSEMENT TO FIX THESE PROBLEMS FOR WHICH THEY HAVE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS ON) REFUNDIN

I FILED A PREVIOUS COMPLAINT REGARDING MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER 5.7 L HEMI REGARDING THE ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON AND THE HESITATION YOU GET WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING. I WAS TOLD THAT THE PCM SENSOR NEEDED REPLACED AND IT HAS BEEN BUT THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE. WE HAVE HAD THE O2 SENSOR REPLACED TWICE, THE GAS FILTER REPLACED, TRANSMISSION FLUID AND FILTER CHANGED, MY JEEP HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP MANY TIMES FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM AND THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM ON SOME VISITS. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN IF MY JEEP WERE TO STALL FROM HESITATION THIS COULD CAUSE A DEADLY ACCIDENT. I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE TO GO FROM HERE BUT I WILL KEEP ON GOING UNTIL I GET SOMEONE TO LISTEN AND CORRECT THIS PROBLEM OR TAKE THESE VEHICLES OFF THE ROAD. *KB

THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HANDLES HAVE GRADUALLY CRACKED AND FALLEN APART SO THAT IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE OF THE CAR. THIS PROBLEM HAS ONLY OCCURRED ON THE FRONT DOORS, NOT THE BACK-SEAT DOORS AND BEGAN GRADUALLY BACK IN 2009 - 2010. IT HAS GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE BOTH HANDLES ARE FALLING BEHIND THE PANEL AND WE ARE VERY CAREFUL WHEN OPENING THE DOOR NOW AND PROHIBIT US FROM BEING ABLE TO EASILY OPEN THE FRONT DOOR(S). MY FAMILY AND I HAVE USED CARE WHEN OPENING THE DOORS AND HAVE NEVER USED EXCESSIVE FORCE OVER THE PAST 4-5 YEARS SO THERE IS NO LOGICAL REASON WHY THEY HAVE BROKEN THE SAME WAY ON BOTH SIDES.` *KB

ALL 4 INTERIOR DOOR OPENING HANDLES BREAKING/FAILING: 1 REAR DOOR TOTALLY INOPERABLE. ***THIS IS A DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE IF HANDLES BREAK OR ARE INOPERABLE IN CERTAIN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS, PASSENGERS MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE, CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH!*** MANUFACTURER CHARGE TO REPLACE/REPAIR HANDLES IS PROHIBITIVELY EXPENSIVE: IN MY CASE, THE COST OF SIX (6) MONTHLY CAR PAYMENTS! MANUFACTURER SAFETY RECALL WARRANTED! *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR LATCH OF OUR 2006 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4 SUFFERED A FAILURE CAUSING THE DOOR TO NOT BE ABLE TO BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE OF THE CAR POSING A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY RISK. THE DOOR LATCH IS A PLASTIC PULL WHICH IS PART OF THE ONE-PIECE MOLDED PLASTIC DOOR PANEL. THE PLASTIC BEHIND OUR DOOR LATCH STARTED TO CRACK OVER TIME AND UPON A FAMILY MEMBER CLOSING THE DOOR AND THE DOOR PANEL COMING IN CONTACT WITH THE INDIVIDUAL'S LEG, THE DOOR LATCH COMPLETELY DETACHED FROM THE DOOR PANEL CAUSING IT TO FLOAT INSIDE THE DOOR CAVITY. THE DOOR LATCH THEN FELL APART AND THE ONLY WAY TO OPEN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR IS TO REACH INSIDE THE HOLE IN THE CAVITY TO FIND WHAT THE DOOR LATCH WAS ATTACHED TO. HAVING THE DOOR LATCH ONLY SECURED TO THIN MOLDED PLASTIC OF THE DOOR PANEL IS A DESIGN WHICH LED TO OUR SAFETY FAILURE AND WE ARE NOT THE ONLY INDIVIDUALS WITH THIS ISSUE. UPON RESEARCHING ONLINE, THERE ARE DOZENS OF OTHER INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE HAD ONE IF NOT MULTIPLE DOOR LATCH FAILURES IN EARLY 2006 JEEP COMMANDERS CAUSING A SAFETY RISK.
