2006 Jeep Commander complaints

THE VEHICLE WILL STALL AT SLOW SPEEDS AND DURING IDLE. NO CODES ARE STORED IN THE COMPUTER SO THERE IS NO WAY FOR JEEP TO TRACK IT DOWN. IT HAS HAD ALL THE RECALLS CORRECTED ACCORDING TO JEEP. *TT

STALLING WHEN IN PARK, STALLING ON THE FREEWAY AT HIGH SPEEDS, VERY LOW IDLE WHEN PARKED OR AT A RED LIGHT P. *TR

THERE ARE NO EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE, OTHER THAN NORMAL OPENING AND CLOSING OF DOORS. I HAVE A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER AND THE DOOR HANDLES ARE CRACKING AND BREAKING OFF. THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE IS COMPLETELY BROKEN AND MY DAUGHTER CAN NOT OPEN THE DOOR UNLESS SHE OPENS THE WINDOW AND USES THE OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLE. THE DRIVER SIDE BACK PASSENGER DOOR HAS NOW DONE THE SAME THING. THE DRIVER DOOR HANDLE IS NOW CRACKING AND I AM AFRAID IT WILL DO THE SAME THING. THE CAR ONLY HAS 51,000 MILES ON IT AND IT IS VERY DANGEROUS THAT IF THE CAR WERE TO WRECK AND POWER WINDOWS COULDN'T BE USED, MY PASSENGERS WOULD BE UNABLE TO GET OUT. *KB

THE THIN PLASTIC HOUSING FOR THE DOOR HANDLES ON THE 2006 JEEP COMMANDER HAVE BOTH CRACKED, FALLEN APART AND FALLEN INTO THE DOOR. NOW I CONTINUE TO GET SCRATCHED AND CUT ON THE PIECES THAT REMAIN. AFTER REVIEWING ONLINE POST, IT IS APPARENT THAT THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PART. *KB

A/C BLOWER ONLY WORKS ON HIGH, NOT ANY OTHER SETTING. I'VE REPLACED THE BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR ON AVERAGE OF 3X PER YEAR (@ $32 FROM DEALER). THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN TOLD BY AUTO MECHANICS AND THE CHRYSLER DEALER SERVICE DEPT. IS WRONG WITH THE A/C SYSTEM....AND THAT "IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM." WHEN THE RESISTOR IS REPLACED, THE A/C WILL WORK PROPERLY FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AND THEN REPEAT THE PROBLEM. OBVIOUSLY, THERE IS SOMETHING CAUSING THIS PART TO SHORT/MALFUNCTION. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS TOPIC (ONLINE/INTERNET), I'VE FOUND MANY JEEP OWNERS HAVE ENCOUNTERED THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS NOT THE BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR, IT IS THE GUAGE OF WIRING CHRYSLER HAS USED TO INSTALL THE SYSTEM. THE WIRING CAN NOT HANDLE THE AMPS RUNNING THROUGH IT, AND THE CONNECTION/WIRING ACTUALLY MELTS. THIS IS THE CASE WITH MY VEHICLE, THE CONNECTION AT THE BLOWER RESISTOR IS MELTED. THE SYSTEM HAS A 40AMP FUSE, WHICH DOES NOT BLOW BEFORE THE WIRING MELTS???.....THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD. CHRYSLER SHOULD HAVE DONE A RECALL ON THIS. I'VE OPENED A CASE WITH CHRYSLER, AND SO FAR HAVE GOTTEN NOWHERE WITH THEM.....THEY JUST WANT ME TO TAKE VEHICLE INTO DEALER SO THEY CAN CHARGE ME THERE OUTRAGEOUS RATES FOR LOOKING AT THE PROBLEM, THEN (ACCORDING TO THE DISCUSSION THREADS ONLINE) THEY'LL SUGGEST I REPLACE THE WHOLE BLOWER UNIT/SYSTEM FOR ABOUT $800. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THE GUAGE OF THE WIRING IS TO SMALL FOR THE AMPS RUNNING THE SYSTEM, AND THE WIRING NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I'VE HEARD THERE IS A R

I OWN A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. IN LESS THAN ONE YEAR ALL FOUR OF MY VEHICLE DOORS HAVE CRACKED AND BROKEN BEYOND RECOGNITION. PIECES HAVE FALLEN FROM THE DOORS, AND THE LEVER MECHANISMS WORK ONLY HALF THE TIME. MOST OF THE TIME THE DOORS HAVE TO BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE, BY ANOTHER PASSENGER.

IF THE MECHANICS CAN NOT FIGURE IT OUT, THEN THAT IS A MAJOR CONCERN TO ME BECAUSE NOW MY LIFE, MY KIDS LIVES, AND ANY OTHER PASSENGERS LIVES ARE AT JEOPARDY WHILE IN THIS VEHICLE. IT'S A DEATH TRAP. CHRYSLER NOR THE MCCUNE ARE TAKING RESPONSIBILITY. ALL I AM GETTING IS THAT IT'S A COMMUNICATION PROBLEM WITHIN THE CAR. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS MATTER?

OUR 2006 JEEP COMMANDER INTERMITTENTLY STALLS WHILE DRIVING. USUALLY, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS GO CRAZY, ALL THE LIGHTS FLASHING ON AND OFF, AND THEN THE VEHICLE STALLS. THIS HAPPENS AT ANYTIME, AND HAS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY! THIS ISSUE LEAVES NO FAULTS ON THE COMPUTER WHEN CHECKED BY A DEALER. DEALER REPLACED THE IGNITION LOCK, BUT THIS DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. THEY HAVE NO MORE SUGGESTIONS. THE INTERNET IS FILLED WITH OTHER OWNERS OF THIS AND OTHER JEEP VEHICLES THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME SERIOUS ISSUE. OBVIOUSLY, THIS COULD BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!! *TR

2006 JEEP COMMANDER THEIR ARE 3 PROBLEMS WHICH I BELIEVE ARE ALL INTERRELATED AND PROBABLY HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. FIRSTLY, THE CAR 75% WILL NOT START, WILL NOT CRANK, AND ALL YOU WILL HEAR IS A CLICKING NOISE. SECONDLY, THE CAR WHILE IDLING IN TRAFFIC WILL LUNGE FORWARD WITH HIGHER RPM (WITH MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR MIND YOU) LUCKILY I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO BRAKE IN TIME EACH TIME IT DOES THAT. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKE THE CAR WILL THEN STALL AND THE NONSTARTING PROBLEM WILL REOCCUR. LASTLY AND MOST DANGEROUSLY, THE VEHICLE WILL CUT OUT/STALL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS - 65-70 MPH. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES TO ME (WHILE GOING AROUND DANGEROUS CURVES AND THANK GOD I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE). I HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEIR ONLY ADVICE IS TO BRING IT INTO A DEALERSHIP FOR A 'DIAGNOSTIC' WHERE THEY TRY TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE DONE THIS AND BELIEVE THEY KEEP TRYING UNTIL THE PROBLEM DOES NOT REPLICATE BECAUSE IT DOES IT ALMOST EVERY TIME WITH ME. CHRYSLER HAS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. IT IS NOT ONLY A HASSLE BUT A LIFE SAFETY ISSUE. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF POSTINGS ON THE INTERNET JUST LIKE MINE AND CHRYSLER STILL WILL NO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM. THIS CAR NEED TO BE 100% RECALLED AND TAKEN OFF THE ROAD AS IT IS A DEATH TRAP. I WOULD LIKE TO SELL MY CAR BUT I CANNOT MORALLY SELL THIS DANGEROUS CAR TO ANOTHER UNSUSPECTING CUSTOMER. PLEASE HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM. THERE ARE THOUSANDS LIKE ME WH

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 35,000.

FAILURE OF DOOR LATCH IN 2006 JEEP COMMANDER UNDER NORMAL USE. THE DOOR LATCH/LOCK MECHANISM LIMITS EXIT FROM THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE CAUSED BY POOR CRAFTMANSHIP IN THE DOOR PANEL WHICH THE LATCH IS ATTACHED TO. *TR

ON THE 2006 JEEP COMMANDER THE AREA BEHIND THE DOOR HANDLES VERY EASILY BREAKS CAUSING THE HANDLE TO GO UP IN TO THE DOOR PREVENTING IT FROM OPENING. IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY WITH THE NEED TO GET OUT OF THE CAR FAST YOU WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT. THE ONLY FIX IS REPLACING THE ENTIRE DOOR PANEL WITH IS OVER $500. BUT THE PROBLEM WOULD NOT BE FIXED SINCE IT WOULD JUST BE PUTTING THE EXACT DOOR PANEL BACK ON. 3 OF MY DOOR PANELS ARE EITHER BROKEN OR CRACKED. I'VE FOUND WEBSITE WHERE LOTS OF PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME YEAR MODEL HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. MY JEEP HAS NOT BEEN MISTREATED. THE PLASTIC BEHIND THE HANDLE BROKE IN TO MANY PIECES WHEN I JUST WENT TO OPEN THE DOOR. *TR

WE OWN A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER AND HAVE FAILING INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES THAT ARE PREVENTING OUR FAMILY FROM EXITING AND ENTERING THE VEHICLE ON DEMAND. FOR SAFETY REASONS THIS PROBLEM COULD LEAD TO THE DEATH OF ANYONE RIDING IN THE VEHICLE AND IS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, STALLED VEHICLE OR OTHER EVENT. BECAUSE OF THE FAULTY DESIGN THE ENTIRE PANEL HAS TO BE REPLACED AND IS QUITE COSTLY($500 + EACH). I DO NOT FEEL THIS BURDEN SHOULD BE PLACED ON JEEP OWNERS SIMPLY BECAUSE OF THE BAD DESIGN. I WOULD SUGGEST A RECALL OF THESE DOOR PANELS BEFORE A LAW SUIT IS BROUGHT AGAINST THE PEOPLE OR DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE OF THESE PANELS. I DO HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY TO 100,000 MILES AND PAID TO HAVE THE HIGHEST PLAN I CAN HAVE AND THESE STILL ARE NOT COVERED. I IMPLORE YOU TO PLEASE SEARCH THE INTERNET SEE ALL THE LOYAL JEEP OWNERS AND RECALL THESE PANELS BEFORE JEEP IS NO LONGER A TRUSTED NAME. *TR
