2006 Jeep Commander complaints

OUR 06 JEEP COMMANDER HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE SINCE THE DAY WE PURCHASED IT USED WITH 14K MILES ON IT IN 3/07. WE CONTINUE TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE DASH LIGHTS COMING ON, STALLING JUST TODAY 7/22- THE LIGHTS LIT UP AND THE AIR CONDITIONER QUIT WORKING!!! NO FAN NO BLOWER... NOTHING. IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN FOR THE RECALL FOR THIS BUT IT KEEPS HAPPENING. OH AND DID I MENTION THAT AUTOPARK JEEP IN CARY, NC SOLD ME A LEMON/BUYBACK.... THEY GAVE ME THE CARFAX REPORT AFTER 30 VISITS TO THE SERVICE DEPT.... FOOL ME ONCE, FOOL ME TWICE... I AM HOPING THAT JEEP WILL BUY IT BACK AGAIN FOR THIS COMPLETE LEMON!! I KNOW HAVE 37K ON IT AND THE SERVICE DEPT WAS TALKING THAT THEY DID NOT KNOW IF JEEP WOULD COVER THE WORK.... THEY CAN KEEP IT.. *TR

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WILL LOSE POWER AND THE DASH WARNING LIGHTS WILL START FLASHING. I TRY STEPPING ON THE ACCELERATOR TO GET IT TO GO, BUT IT DOES NOT RESPOND, THIS WILL LAST FOR ABOUT 15 SECONDS OR SO THEN THE VEHICLE WILL REGAIN POWER, THE DASH LIGHTS WILL STOP FLASHING, BUT, THE ESP/BAS LIGHTS STAY ON FOR A LONGER TIME. AND THE ONE WITH THE VEHICLE AND SKID MARKS. ON ONE OCCASION THE VEHICLE STALLED OUT COMPLETELY'.AND TURNED OFF I HAD TO MANEUVER THROUGH TRAFFIC TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF ROAD TO RESTART THE ENGINE'ALTHOUGH THE 2 LIGHTS REMAINED ON THE VEHICLE DID GO. *TR THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE PCM AND THAT IT HAD TO BE REFLASHED. THE CONSUMER DISCOVERED THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE EXACT PROBLEM SHE WAS EXPERIENCING. UPDATED 08/13/08

06' JEEP COMMANDER STALLS WHEN COMPLETELY STOPPED, WHEN MAKING UTURNS, AND TWO TIMES WHEN DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 25-30MPH. I HAVE HAD THIS COMPLAINT FOR QUITE SOMETIME AND HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE, WITH THEM BRUSHING IT OFF AS IF NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. IF THIS IS NOT FIXED PEOPLES LIVES ON IN DANGER NOT ONLY THE PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLES, BUT SURROUNDING MOTORIST. *TR

THIS IS AN UPDATE OF MY PREVIOUS POST. MY 2006 3.7 LITER COMMANDER 4X4 HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER SINCE MONDAY THE 7TH. WHEN I TOOK IT IN IT HAD BEEN STALLING NOW AND THEN, THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND THE DISPLAY "SERVICE PARK ASSIST" HAD CAME ON THE DAY BEFORE I TOOK IT IN. ON THE WAY TO THE DEALER, IT SHUT DOWN NO BREAKS, STEERING, NOTHING. THE DEALER TESTED IT AND SAID IT GAVE THEM A CODE U1400 WHICH WAS THE TCM MODULE. THEY REPLACED IT AND TOLD ME TO COME AND GET IT ON JUNE 9TH. I PICKED IT UP AND ON THE WAY HOME, GOING UP A SLIGHT INCLINE ABOUT A BLOCK FRO THE DEALER, IT SHUT DOWN AGAIN, AND STARTED ROLLING BACKWARD DOWN THE HILL, AND ALL I COULD DO WAS PULL THE EMERGENCY BREAK AND PRAY THAT IT STILL WORKED, IT DID. AFTER THREE TRIES, I GOT IT STARTED AND TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER, WHO PUT A COMPUTER ON IT AS SOON AS I GOT THERE, THEY TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO GET A RIDE HOME, AND THE NEXT DAY CALLED AND SAID IT NEEDED ECM MODULE, THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THEY CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY HAD A 1000 PIECE BACKLOG ON THEM. I ASKED THEM WHAT I SHOULD DO FOR TRANSPORT, AND THEY TOLD ME I SHOULD CALL CHRYSLER BECAUSE THE CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THERE HAD BEEN A MAJOR RECALL ON THE 2006 4.7 LITER COMMANDER FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT NOT THE 3.7 MODELS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN GREAT, BUT CHRYSLER HAS BEEN UNREAL TO DEAL WITH, THEY SIMPLY DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE CUSTOMER, AND HAVE BEEN NO HELP. I CALLED THE DEALER TODAY TO LET THEM KNOW THAT CHRYSLER TOLD ME THE PA

I BOUGHT MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER IN 2006 AS A DEMO WITH 18,000 MILES ON IT. I REALLY DIDN'T DRIVE IT THAT MUCH AS YOU CAN TELL BY THE MILEAGE ON IT AND IT HAS ONLY HAD THREE OIL CHANGES. WHEN IT REACHED ABOUT 20,000 MILES IT STALLED ON MY WAY TO WORK AND I CALLED AND SPOKE TO A TECH WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR, HE TOLD ME THAT I HAD PROBABLY GOTTEN SOME BAD GAS. THEN TWO WEEKS AGO IT STALLED AGAIN AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON FOR A DAY, THEN IT WENT OUT. IT CAME ON AGAIN AND STAYED ON AND IT CONTINUED TO STAY ON, AND "SERVICE PARK ASSIST" DISPLAYED ON THE DASH. THE DEALER WHERE WE BOUGHT THE CAR IS 20 MILES FROM WHERE WE LIVE SO I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A DODGE DEALER ABOUT 3 MILES FROM MY HOME. ON MONDAY JULY 7TH WHEN DRIVING THERE FOR THE APPOINTMENT, I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN AND IT SHUT DOWN, NO BRAKES, NO STEERING, NO LIGHTS ON THE DASH, NOTHING. I GOT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND IT RE-STARTED AFTER 3 TRIES. I MADE IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY CALLED MY TODAY AND SAID IT WAS READY AND THEY HAD TO INSTALL A TCM MODULE. I WENT TO PICK IT UP, AND ON THE WAY HOME, IT DID THE SAME THING AGAIN, THE ONLY THING IT DIDN'T DO WAS DISPLAY THE ENGINE LIGHT, BUT THE STALLING AND THE "SERVICE PARK ASSIST" CAME BACK ON. I TOOK IT BACK TO THEM AND THEY HOOKED IT BACK UP TO THE COMPUTER AND TOLD ME I NEEDED TO FIND A WAY HOME AND THEY WOULD CALL ME TOMORROW. THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT YET. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER 3.7 4X4 IN 2007 AS A DEMO. IT HAD 18,000 MILES ON IT WHEN I BOUGHT IT AND NOW IS HAS 28,000. I HAVE NOT DRIVEN IT VERY MUCH AS YOU CAN TELL BY THE MILEAGE, AND IT HAS ONLY HAD TO HAVE TWO OIL CHANGES (EVERY 3,000 MILES) AND IS ALMOST DUE FOR ANOTHER. I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES FOR THREE WEEKS NOW, 1. FIRST IT STALLED IN TRAFFIC WHEN I WAS DOING ABOUT 30 MPH. 2. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED FOR A DAY, WENT OFF AND CAME BACK ON TWO DAYS LATER AND HAS BEEN ON SINCE. 3. WHEN DRIVING, THE CAR WILL SHIFT REALLY HARD INTO SECOND GEAR FOR NO REASON. ON THE 3RD OF JULY IT STARTED DOING ALL SORTS OF WEIRD SHIFTS AND STALLS, I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER TOMORROW, AND I HAVE NOT DRIVEN IT SINCE THE 3RD OF JULY BECAUSE I AM WORRIED ABOUT BREAKING SOMETHING. *TR

I OWN A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. I GOT NOTICE FOR A RECALL ON IT, RECALL H19 ABOUT BAD SOFTWARE PROGRAMMED INTO THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE. I TOOK IT IN AND 2 DAYS LATER MY TRANSMISSION LOCKED INTO 3RD GEAR. I'M NOT A MECHANIC BUT I DO KNOW THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS POWERTRAIN. I TOOK IT IN TO GET CHECK AND THEY SAID I NEED A NEW SOLENOID WHICH GETS ITS SIGNAL TO SWITCH GEARS FROM THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE. THEY WON'T COVER IT THOUGH. I CALLED JEEP AND THEY ALSO SAID THEY WON'T COVER IT. I ASK THE GARAGE IF THEY COULD CHANGE IT BACK TO THE WAY IT WAS BEFORE THE RECALL AND THEY SAID NO. MY JEEP WAS RUNNING FINE BEFORE I BROUGHT IT IN FOR THE RECALL. ANYWAYS AFTER ARGUING WITH EVERYONE ABOUT IT I GAVE UP AND DECIDED I'LL PAY FOR IT, BUT COME TO FIND OUT, A TRANSMISSION SOLENOID PACK FOR JEEP COMMANDERS ARE ON FACTORY BACKORDER AND DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY'LL GET THE PART. SO THAT GOES TO SAY THAT ALOT OF JEEP COMMANDERS TRANSMISSION SOLENOIDS ARE GOING BAD. I WAS DRIVING WHEN THE TRANSMISSION LOCKED INTO 3RD GEAR, THE VEHICLE GAVE US A JERK WHEN IT SHIFTED DOWN TO 3RD GEAR, FROM THEN ON IT WOULDN'T GO INTO ANOTHER GEAR. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED TWICE ON THE HIGHWAY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THIS WAS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE THE FAILURE COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS CRASH. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN A RECALL AND WAS REMEDIED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY IN THE REPAIR SHOP, BUT THE MECHANIC CANNOT IDENTIFY THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN, RECALL NUMBER, AND MILEAGES WERE UNKNOWN.

2006 JEEP COMMANDER DRIVING AT 50+ MPH ON A STRAIGHT HIGHWAY ENGINE DIED. POWER BRAKES AND STEERING WAS LOST AS WELL AS ALL INSTRUMENT PANEL FUNCTION. THE JEEP RECALL FIX FOR ENGINE STALLING HAD BEEN PUT ON WITHIN THE LAST MONTH. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED AT HIGH SPEED DRIVING, THE FIRST TIME WAS ABOUT A YEAR AGO. IN BOTH CASES THE ENGINE CAN NOT BE RESTARTED UNTIL THE VEHICLE COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP AND PUT INTO PARK. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SPORADICALLY LOSES POWER AND THEN IMMEDIATELY STALLS. AFTER WAITING FOR A PERIOD OF TIME, THE VEHICLE WOULD RESTART AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WOULD CONSISTENTLY REMAIN ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT CONTROL PANEL. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND IT WAS REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 08V203000 (POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM, PCM)). IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE REPAIR, THE FAILURE BECAME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND IS IN THE PROCESS OF HAVING THE FUEL SYSTEM:GASOLINE DELIVERY PUMP REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 26,000.

I OWN A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER THAT HAS A WINDSHIELD DEFECT. I HAVE REPLACED THIS WINDSHIELD ONCE ALREADY AND HAVE 2 NEW STONE CHIPS IN THE WINDSHIELD. I HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE SAME VEHICLE MODEL AND THEY ARE SEEING THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS SEEMS LIKE A DESIGN MALFUNCTION. *TR

2006 JEEP COMMANDER WITH A RECALL FOR POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE REPROGRAMMING. CONSUMER STATES THAT THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION FILTERS. HE ALSO STATES THAT THE REPROGRAMMING DIDN'T CHANGE ANYTHING THE VEHICLE STILL STALLED. *KB

MULTIPLE INCIDENTS OF STALLING IN TRAFFIC WHILE VEHICLE IS IDLING. MOST RECENT STALL INCLUDED LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING FREQUENT FAILURE WITH THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING. THE VEHICLE ALSO STALLS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SLIPPING, STALLING, AND VIBRATION OCCUR WEEKLY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000.

2006 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CAR STALLS USUALLY WHEN TURNING, HOWEVER IT HAS DONE IT AT A RED LIGHT. CAR IS POWERLESS (BRAKES, STEERING, ETC) AND CONTINUES MOVING UNTIL THE KEY IS PULLED OUT OF THE IGNITION. IT HAS OCCURRED AT LEAST 10 TIMES, MOST OF WHICH HAVE BEEN TURNING AT LIGHTS WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. LUCKILY, ACCIDENTS WERE AVOIDED. NOTHING WAS DONE TO CORRECT THIS FAILURE, AFTER BEING REPORTED REPEATEDLY TO HENDERSON CHRYSLER JEEP. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THEY CANNOT "DUPLICATE" THE PROBLEM; *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. SHE CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON HER VEHICLE; HOWEVER, SHE HAS SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THE VEHICLE AND EVEN AN INVESTIGATION FOR THE SAME FAILURE. SHE SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT AT THE DEALER FOR LATER IN THE WEEK. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 15,300. UPDATED 5/30/08 *CN

2006 JEEP COMMANDER THE IGNITION KEY IS LOCATED AT KNEE HEIGHT AND PERPENDICULAR TO THE DASH. I HAVE ACCIDENTALLY TURNED OFF THE CAR WHILE DRIVING AT LEAST THREE TIMES. THIS OCCURS WHEN MOVING THE RIGHT KNEE SIDE TO SIDE. BECAUSE THE KEY IS HORIZONTALLY LOCATED IT ROTATES WITH LITTLE FORCE IF STRIKING THE DANGLING KEYS WITH THE KNEE. A PROPER DESIGN WOULD BE HAVING THE IGNITION ON THE STEERING COLUMN, OR HAVING A SLIGHT SUPERIOR ANGLE TO THE KEY IGNITION. THIS IS EASILY REPRODUCED ON ALL COMMANDER VEHICLES. *TR

2007 JEEP COMMANDER. SIX MONTHS AFTER THE PURCHASE OF A NEW JEEP COMMANDER THE JEEP STARTED LOSING POWER AND STALLING. IT DIDN'T MATTER WHAT SPEED THE JEEP WAS GOING. IT HAS STALLED AND LOST POWER AND ALL ELECTRONICS PULLING INTO TRAFFIC AND CRUISING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. THE JEEP WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE JUNCTION BOX WAS REPLACED. NUMEROUS TESTS WERE COMPLETED BUT NO DEFINITIVE REASON WAS FOUND FOR THE STALLING. I WAS TOLD THE JEEP WAS FIXED. THE JEEP HAS SINCE STALLED 3 MORE TIMES, ONE TIME WITH WHEN MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND MY DAUGHTERS AGES 4 AND 7 WERE ONBOARD. THIS TIME, THEY WERE NEARLY HIT BY A TRACTOR TRAILER PULLING OUT OF THE LOCAL GROCERY STORE. THE JEEP HAD TO BE TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT SITS RIGHT NOW. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SEEMS TO THINK IT'S THE IGNITION SWITCH BUT I KNOW BETTER. I'M SEEKING A LEASE BUY OUT BY CHRYSLER AND PLAN TO SUE IF THEY DO NOT TAKE THE JEEP BACK. THIS JEEP IS GOING TO KILL SOMEONE AND I WILL NOT LET IT BE MY WIFE OR CHILDREN. *TR

MY BRAKES PULSATE WHEN I PUMP THEM COMING DOWN HILLS. THE DEALERSHIP CONTINUES TO TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY BRAKES. IT IS REALLY BAD WHEN I AM COMING DOWN A MOUNTAIN AND I AM SCARED THAT THEY WILL FAIL ON ME. IT HAS HAPPENED EVERY TIME I'VE TRAVELED TO SEE MY DAUGHTER IN COLLEGE IN THE MOUNTAINS. I'VE TRIED GOING VERY SLOW AND PUMPING AS TO NOT PICK UP SPEED. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY. *TR

PROBLEM WITH MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER ENGINE STALLING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 3-4 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AND HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY IN A PARKING LOT. THE ENGINE JUST COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN AND NOTHING WORKS, INCLUDING THE STEERING. EACH TIME IT HAS HAPPENED I HAVE BEEN GOING AT A SLOW SPEED. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MY DEALER WHO SAYS THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT ( BOB SCHWARTZ-BUNKER HILL INDIANA).I AM GOING TO TAKE IT IN AGAIN TO SEE IF THEY CAN POSSIBLY FIX THIS PROBLEM NOW SINCE THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER COMMANDER OWNERS COMPLAIN. I AM REALLY AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE NOW ESPECIALLY WITH MY KIDS. IF JEEP IS AWARE OF THESE COMPLAINTS, THEY NEED TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THE 2006 & 2007 MODELS ALSO INSTEAD OF JUST THE 2008. IF THIS WOULD HAPPEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, IT WOULD HAVE POSSIBLY BEEN DEADLY!!! PLEASE HELP. *TR

2006 JEEP COMMANDER STALLING WHILE DRIVING 50-55 MILES PER HOUR, STALLING AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS, STALLING WHEN APPLYING BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN IN TRAFFIC..THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS I HAVE THREE CHILDREN WHO RIDE IN THIS VEHICLE. I NEED A DEPENDABLE VEHICLE AND I WILL NOT PUT MY KIDS IN THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE HELP BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. BOUGHT ON 3/28/08. HAD FOR ONE WEEK AND STALLED 4 TIMES. BROUGHT BACK TO DEALER, COULD NOT FIND PROBLEM. STALLED TWO MORE TIMES WHILE DRIVING AT SPEED. TOOK BACK 4/9/08..CALLED 4/18/08 THEY ARE AWARE OF PROBLEM WANT US TO CALL CHRYSLER. *TR

MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER HAS STALLED WITH ME SEVERAL TIMES. THE SCARIEST WHEN I WAS TURNING INTO A MIDDLE SCHOOL DRIVEWAY AND IT JUST SHUT OFF LEAVING ME WITHOUT ANY BRAKES OR STEERING. IT HAS ALSO STALLED SEVERAL TIMES AT THE END OF MY DRIVEWAY. BUT THE WORSE PROBLEM IS FOR THE SECOND TIME IN 4 MONTHS IT WILL NOT START. LAST TIME IT WAS A TIP FAILURE. SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE START UP MODULE. THIS WAS IN JAN. 23 08. NOW, APRIL 21, 2008 IT HAS DONE IT AGAIN. LAST TIME IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND I HAVE CALLED A TOW TRUCK THIS TIME TOO. IT IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY BUT WITH ONLY 3000 MILES TO GO. I AM WORRIED THIS PART WILL CONTINUE TO BREAK. I AM AFRAID I WILL BE ALONE AND THE CAR WILL NOT CRANK SOMEWHERE. THIS IS NOT SAFE. YOU MUST BE ABLE TO DEPEND ON YOUR VEHICLE STARTING. THE LAST TIME IT WAS REPAIRED WITH PART NUMBER 4692084-AB B;LCI NON 8015009 WHATEVER ALL THAT MEANS. IT WAS RUN WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS SINCE THAT REPAIR UNTIL TODAY. FORTUNATELY IT BROKE DOWN IN MY CARPORT. *TR

POWER WINDOW SWITCH SOMETIMES FAILS TO WORK CAUSING WINDOWS TO STAY STUCK IN OPEN POSITION. *TR

ENGINE WILL TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING, ALL POWER GOES OUT AND YOU CANNOT STEER THE CAR. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4 IN NOVEMBER 2007. SINCE BUYING IT, THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED OUT ON MY APPROXIMATELY 8 TIMES WHILE DRIVING IT. THE WHOLE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF. I CAN'T STEER IT OR DO ANYTHING. THIS COULD GET ME AND MY FAMILY KILLED. WHEN I CALLED ABOUT THE PROBLEM, THE MAN I SPOKE TO ACTED AS IF I WAS MAKING THIS UP AND TOLD ME NOTHING COULD BE DONE. *TR

IN THE FIFTEEN MONTHS I'VE OWNED THE CAR (PURCHASED NEW FROM A JEEP DEALER) IT HAS BEEN TO THE ORIG. DEALER AS WELL AS A DIFFERENT DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES FOR ELECTRONIC RELATED ISSUES. EARLY ON THE CAR EXPERIENCED TROUBLE WITH THE RIGHT FRONT ELECT. PASSENGER WINDOW OPERATING IMPROPERLY. THEN A SERIES OF INCIDENTS HAPPENED WHERE THE DASH PANEL LIGHTS WOULD COME ON AND THE CAR WOULD STALL. AT TIMES THERE WAS A NOISE FROM UNDER THE CAR. AFTER STOPPING AND RESTARTING THE CAR WOULD RUN PROPERTY FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. THEN THE INCIDENTS WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. THE MOST TROUBLING INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN I WAS STOPPING AT RED LIGHT - DEPRESED THE BRAKE PEDAL AT LOW SPEED.... AND THE CAR KEPT ROLLING UNTIL IT IMPACTED THE CAR IN FRONT. MINOR DAMAGE TO BOTH VEHICLES BUT SCARY AS HECK. INFORMED THE ORIG. DEALER AND THEY COULD FIND NOTHING. THE INCIDENTS WITH THE LIGHTS AND THE NOISE AND OTHER SPOOKY ELECT PROBLEMS - SUCH AS THE MIDDLE HVAC UNIT PUTTING OUT HEAT WHILE THE FRONT AND REAR PUT OUT COLD.- PROMPTED ME TO FIND A DIFFERENT DEALER TO TAKE THE CAR TO. THEY (NALLEY HERE IN ATLANTA) DID A GOOD JOB AND UPDATED SOME SOFTWEAR AND CHANGED THE IGNITION SWITCH. THAT ALLEVIATED THE PROBLEMS FOR TWO WEEKS THEN THE NEW IGNITION SWITCH FAILED. THE PROMPLTY REPLACED THAT AS WELL EVEN THOUGH IT WAS QUITE A MYSTERY TO THEM. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD TWO INCIDENTS WHERE TURNING ON THE IGNITION SWITCH FAILED TO START THE CAR - THERE WAS NO RESPONSE. ALLOWED THE CAR TO SIT FOR A MINUTE THEN IT STARTED. *TR

VEHICLE STALLS INTERMITTENTLY AT LOW SPEEDS OR IDLE. *TR

JEEP COMMANDER SHUTS OFF POWER WHILE DRIVING CAUSING TOTAL LOSS OF POWER...ITS GONE ON AT FAST SPEEDS, SLOW SPEEDS, WHILE CRUISE CONTROL WAS ENGAGED, NOT WHEN IT WAS ENGAGED, NIGHT TIME, AND DAY TIME...IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN EVERY 1,000 MILES...I AM NOW AT 36,000 MILES. *TR

2006 CHRYSLER JEEP COMMANDER---- FOR TWO YEARS NOW IT HAS AN IDLE ISSUE, CAR ACTS LIKE ITS GOING TO STALL ,RPM GAUGE FLUCTUATES WHEN THIS OCCURS, HAVE GIVEN CHRYSLER 11 OPPORTUNITIES TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, AND THEY DO NOT HAVE A FIX. FILED LEMON, WAS TOLD BY THE BOARD MY VEHICLE HAS A CONDITION, HOWEVER DOES NOT QUALIFY AS A LEMON. ALSO HAS A SHUDDER IN TRANSMISSION ACCELERATING BETWEEN 30 AND 40 MPH. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. WHILE DRIVING BELOW 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED IN TRAFFIC. THE FAILURE OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY AND THE DEALER STATED THAT IT COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE FAILURE HAS OCCURRED THREE TIMES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE IS 36,000. UPDATED 03/25/08. *LJ

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. WHILE MAKING RIGHT AND LEFT TURNS AT 39 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLS INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WILL BE TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSIS. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 18,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000.

2006 JEEP COMMANDER HAS A DESIGN FLAW IN THEIR WINDSHIELD. I HAVE 5 CHIPS ON 5 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AND ON 03/07/08 A NEW CHIP HAS TURNED INTI 8 INCH CRACK IN FRONT OF DRIVERS VIEW. I UNDERSTAND THEIR HAS BEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS TO CHRYSLER ABOUT THIS FLAW BUT DEALER SAYS CHRYSLER WILL NOT REPLACE OR FIX WINDSHIELD. DEALER ADMITTED DESIGN FLAW HAS CAUSED THIS CONTINUED PROBLEM. *TR

JEEP COMMANDER WILL COMPLETELY TURN OFF AT RANDOM TIMES WHEN DRIVING, MOST SEEM TO HAPPEN WHEN JEEP IS IDLING OR MOVING SLOW. HAS NOT HAPPENED AT TIME WERE AN ACCIDENT HAS HAPPENED, BUT HAS TURNED OF IN MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS SEVERAL TIMES. *TR

THERE IS A 4/07 NHTSA INVESTIGATION INTO 2006-7 JEEP COMMANDERS' INTERMITTENT AND PERSISTENT ENGINE STALLING PROBLEMS - SUPPOSEDLY IN RESPONSE TO 76 COMPLAINTS. NHTSA REALLY NEEDS TO READ ITS OWN COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, WHICH CAN BE FOUND NOT ONLY IN THE COMMANDER LINE BUT ALSO IN 2005-2008 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET (JEEPFORUM.COM, USENET NEWS, ETC.) ABOUT JEEP VEHICLES STALLING, BESIDES THE COMMANDER. I FEAR THAT EVEN IF CHRYSLER IS FINALLY FORCED TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM UNDER THIS INVESTIGATION, THEY WILL SIMPLY POINT TO THE "2006-7 COMMANDERS" PORTION OF THE SETTLEMENT AND COMPLETELY IGNORE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM IN OTHER YEARS AND OTHER MODELS OF JEEP. THEY CANNOT BE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE WAVING OFF THEIR CUSTOMERS, WHO PAID FOR THEIR PRODUCTS IN GOOD FAITH, AND NOW ARE NOT BEING SUPPORTED. THEY NEED TO BE FORCED TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND RECTIFY THIS VERY WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY, BEFORE THEIR NEGLIGENCE GETS SOMEONE KILLED. UNFORTUNATELY, WE LOWLY CONSUMERS HAVE LITTLE TO NO POWER OVER A GIANT LIKE CHRYSLER. THAT IS WHY WE NEED ORGANIZATIONS LIKE THE NHTSA TO HELP US. NHTSA, PLEASE REVIEW YOUR OTHER COMPLAINTS UNDER THE JEEP BRAND AND EXPAND YOUR INVESTIGATION AS APPROPRIATE. ANYONE ELSE WITH A JEEP THAT KEEPS STALLING, PLEASE CONTINUE TO POST YOUR COMPLAINTS HERE AND ANYWHERE ELSE YOU CAN FIND. THESE STALLING PROBLEMS NEED TO BE FIXED, AND CHRYSLER NEEDS TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE IMMEDIATELY. *TR

I OWN A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4 V8. I HAVE HAD A TON OF PROBLEMS WITH IT. IT MAKES A TERRIBLE WIND NOISE COMING FROM THE WINDSHIELD, MY AC SOUNDS LIKE A FREIGHT TRAIN WHEN SWITCH TO OR FROM AC, AND THE MOST DANGEROUS IS THAT MY CAR DIES WHILE TURNING ON A REGULAR BASIS. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN AND THE DEALER TELLS ME THEY CAN NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. I AM SO ANNOYED WITH MY DEATH TRAP. I DRIVE AROUND MY 3 KIDS, MY HUSBAND, AND MYSELF. I FEAR FOR OURS LIVES BEING IN THIS CAR. IT IS UNSAFE AND WILL END UP KILLING SOMEONE ONE DAY. *TR

I BOUGHT THE CAR USED AND WITHIN THE FIRST TWO WEEKS IT STALLED IN A PARKING LOT. THEN IT JERKS WHEN I LEAVE MY HOUSE IN THE MORNING ALL THE WAY DOWN THE HILL. THEY SAID IT NEEDED A COUPLE PARTS AND IT DIDN'T RESOLVE THAT ISSUE. THEN THE CAR STALLED WHILE DRIVING TWICE MORE WITH MY CHILD IN THE CAR ONCE I COULD BARELY GET OFF THE ROAD. THEN IT JUST TRIED TO STOP WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND I HAD TO REV THE ENGINE UNBELIEVABLY TO GET IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I BROUGHT IT TO TWO DEALERS WHO COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM OR DUPLICATE IT. THEY PUT IN A NEW STARTER ANYWAY. THEY TOLD ME TO NOT HIT THE IGNITION WITH MY KNEE. THEN THE CAR STALLED AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON DRIVING ABOUT 10 MILES PER HOUR. SO IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT THE SPEED IS. *TR

ENGINE SHAKING VIOLENTLY, CONSISTENTLY STALLING AT LOW RPMS. SLOW TO START, HAVE TO TURN KEY FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. *TR

MY AUTOMOBILE HAS STALLED TWICE WITHIN THE LAST WEEK, USUALLY WHILE GOING UNDER 10 MPH. DURING THE STALL I LOSE CONTROL MOMENTARILY AS MY AUTO 'LURCHES,' FORWARD 1-2 FEET. *TR

I HAVE HAD MY JEEP COMMANDER FOR TWO AND A HALF YEARS AND HAVE HAD 4 CRACKS IN MY WINDSHIELD EACH COSTING $40 TO FIX .I HAVE ALSO REPLACED MY ENTIRE WINDSHIELD BECAUSE OF A CRACK IN MY LINE OF VISION. I AM A STAY AT HOME MOM AND DO NOT SPEND HOURS ON THE FREEWAY . I DON'T BELIEVE I AM THAT UNLUCKY TO WARRANT ALL THE STRAY PROJECTILES DURING MY LIMITED HIGHWAY DRIVING OR THAT EACH ONE WOULD LEAD TO A TRIP TO AUTO GLASS REPAIR SHOP. I WILL CONTACT CHRYSLER ABOUT THIS ALSO. *TR

I HAVE HAD MY JEEP COMMANDER SINCE LATE 2005 AND I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE ONE TIME, BUT IT WILL NEED TO BE REPLACE FOR THE SECOND TIME SINCE IT HAS TWO MAJOR CRACKS ON THE LOWER PART OF THE WINDSHIELD BOTH GOING IN SEPARATE DIRECTIONS FROM THE LOWER CENTER OF THE WINDSHIELD, AN I BELIEVE IT WAS A GOOD I HAVE WAITED TO REPLACE MY WINDSHIELD BECAUSE DRIVING INTO WORK TODAY, ANOTHER CRACK FORMED AFTER BEING HIT BY A ROCK. THIS CRACK IS ON THE DRIVING SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD AND IT QUICKLY SPREAD ABOUT 6 INCHES FROM THE INITIAL CRACK. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THIS FLAW IN THE WINDSHIELD DESIGN AND/OR CRAFTSMANSHIP ON THE WINDSHIELD (WEAK). I HAVE NOTICED ON QUITE A FEW FORUMS THIS A VERY COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH MANY IF NOT ALL OWNERS, AND THIS SHOULD BE CAREFULLY REVIEWED SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHICH WILL OCCUR QUITE OFTEN IF NO PROPER SOLUTION IS FOUND! *TR

MY VEHICLE'S ENGINE UNEXPECTEDLY SHUTS OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING OVER 50 MPH, THAT SCARED ME BECAUSE I LOST MY POWER STEERING AND IT WAS HARD TO CONTROL MY VEHICLE. THE OTHER THING IS THAT ONCE IT SHUTS OFF, THE VEHICLE WON'T LET YOU RESTART ON THE FLY, YOU HAVE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND RESTART YOUR ENGINE. THAT CAN BE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS ON THE FREEWAY. *TR

JEEP COMMANDER. THIS IS THE 2ND REPORT I HAVE MADE. ON JANUARY 24, 2008 MY JEEP COMMANDER HAD ANOTHER ENGINE STALL. THE THIRD TIME I THE LAST 5 MONTHS THIS HAS HAPPENED. I CANNOT LOCATE MY ORIGINAL COMPLAINT TO YOU, BUT I WANTED TO FILE THIS AGAIN ANYWAY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN AN EMPTY ROAD, ABSOLUTELY NO CARS, THERE WAS A LOUD POP. AFTER A FEW SECONDS WE NOTICE THERE IS A SMALL "SPOT" ON THE BOTTOM OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDSHIELD. WE DIDN'T SEE A PEBBLE NOR HEAR WHAT WOULD SOUND LIKE A PEBBLE HITTING THE WINDSHIELD. IF I LOOK CLOSELY AT THE CRACK, IT APPEARS AS IS SOMETHING IS ACTUALLY PUSHING ON IT FROM THE INSIDE. THERE IS ALSO A LOUD ROARING NOISE FROM THE WINDSHIELD ARE WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS. *TR

MY JEEP STALLS WITHOUT WARNING - LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND OTHER POWER. THIS TENDS TO HAPPEN MID-TURN AND HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. ALTHOUGH WE HAVE COMPLAINED TO TECHNICIANS/SERVICE MANAGERS AT DEALERSHIP, NO CORRECTIVE ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN AS THEY SAY THE "COMPUTERS DON'T INDICATE A STALL." MOST RECENT INCIDENT DATE REPORTED BELOW. *TR

AT LOW SPEEDS MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER STALLS, STEERING IS LOST AND ON INCLINES EVEN ROLLS BACKWARDS. THIS BEGAN HAPPENING IN JULY 2007 WITH APPROXIMATELY 30,000 MILES. IT HAS HAPPENED NO LESS THAN 20 TIMES SINCE. THE DEALERSHIP CAN NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND NO CODES ARE PRESENT TO DETECT THE ISSUE. TO RECTIFY THE STALLING, I MUST TURN OFF THE CAR AND TURN IT BACK ON. IT RESTARTS IMMEDIATELY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE HEARD A LOUD SCREAMING SOUND. UPON INSPECTION, HE CONCLUDED THAT THE TIMING BELTS CAUSED THAT FAILURE. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY REROUTED THE TIMING BELTS AND THE BLOWER MOTOR. APPROXIMATELY TWO DAYS WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED EXCESSIVELY. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY PERFORMED A WHEEL ALIGNMENT. ONE WEEK LATER HE HEARD THE SCREAMING NOISE AGAIN. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE SERPENTINE BELT HOWEVER TWO WEEKS LATER HE HEARD A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE DEALER STATED THE COMPRESSOR CAUSED THE FAILURE. AS OF JANUARY 7, 2008, THE DEALER HAD NOT REPAIRED THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,121 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 36,120.

TOOK CAR TO DEALER TO HAVE RECALL #07V434000 -SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE ON CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, THE SOFTWARE PROGRAMMED INTO THE ABS ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE MAY ALLOW A MOMENTARY DELAY IN BRAKING WHEN COASTING UP A HILL DURING CERTAIN CONDITIONS--COULD CAUSE CRASH! WHEN THE DEALER CORRECTED THE RECALL ISSUE, THE ABS MODULE FAILED--THIS WAS IN NORTH CAROLINA WHERE CAR WAS BOUGHT INITIALLY. TOOK CAR TO PENNSYLVANIA DEALER TO HAVE THE ABS MODULE INSTALLED. WAITED FOR NEW MODULE WHEN IT ARRIVED 2 WEEKS LATER, DEALER SAID THAT NEW MODULES WERE FAILING AND COULD NOT BE FIXED AND THAT DETROIT WAS SAYING THEY KNEW THEY HAD A PROBLEM AND WERE ATTEMPTING TO CORRECT. I CALLED JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY SAID ALL THEY COULD DO WAS TELL ME WHAT ALREADY HAD BEEN TOLD BY DEALER THAT THEY WERE WAITING FOR A FIX/NEW COMPONENTS FROM JEEP. CUSTOMER SERVICE CHECKED WITH BOTH DEALERSHIPS AND AGAIN REITERATED THAT DETROIT WAS ATTEMPTING TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND AS SOON AS THEY DID THEY WOULD SEND NEW MODULE. THE JEEP IS NOW BEING DRIVEN W/O ABS OR THE ESP MODULES, BOTH LIGHTS ARE ON AND CAR KEEPS ALERTING TO GET SERVICE. MY INSURANCE GIVES ME A DISCOUNT FOR HAVING ABS BUT NOW I AM DRIVING W/O THEM. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR SINCE THE INITIAL RECALL SAID THAT A CRASH COULD OCCUR. DURING WINTER DRIVING HAVING TO STOP QUICKLY CAN OCCUR FROM OUT OF NOWHERE, NOW I DO NOT HAVE ABS OR ESP. THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. JEEP DOES NOT SEEM TO CARE. THE
