2006 Jeep Commander complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. WHILE DRIVING 55-60 MPH, THE REAR SEAT SPONTANEOUSLY CAUGHT ON FIRE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. AFTERWARDS, THE HORN AND RADIO FAILED TO WORK AND ALL THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER (JAKE SWEENEY CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM, 85 W KEMPER RD, CINCINNATI, OH 45246, (513) 782-1000) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 260,000.

THE VEHICLE DOOR HANDLES DO NOT FUNCTION ON ANY OF THE FOUR DOORS. THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME DEFECT AND THE ONLY WAY TO EXIT THE VEHICLE IS TO LET THE WINDOW DOWN IF YOU ARE ABLE TO AND UNLOCK THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SMOKING, FIRE, ETC., AND PASSENGERS ARE UNABLE TO GET OUT OF VEHICLE. THIS IS A DEFECT WITH THIS VEHICLE..

AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE CENTRAL FLORIDA GREENEWAY, MY SUNROOF AND BRACKET BLEW FROM THE CAR. ESTIMATED SPEED - 65 MPH. THE ELECTRIC SUNROOF WAS IN THE CLOSED POSITION. SUDDENLY, THE GLASS SUNROOF BLEW FROM THE CAR AND HALF THE BRACKET CAME UNASSEMBLED.

AT 100K WITH NO WARNING, ENGINE RUNS HOT, I WAIT FOR 30 MIN TO COOL DOWN.. DRIVE AGAIN AND IT RUNS HOT.. MECHANIC SAYS HEAD GASKET BLOWN..SMDH.. ALONG WITH THAT IT WAS RAINING AND THE SUNROOF STARTS LEAKING. 8 MONTHS PRIOR I HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. WHAT A JEEP AND I AM STILL PAYING ON IT.!! THE JEEP PEOPLE NEEDS TO RECALL THESE AND AT LEAST REIMBURSE PEOPLE, NOW IM STUCK WITH BUYING A 5000 ENGINE ON A SET INCOME...BASICALLY COULDVE BOUGHT A BRAND NEW CAR WITH THE FUNDS I PUT OUT SO FAR..

THE BACK PASSENGER INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE BROKE. I FEEL IS IT UNREASONABLE TO HAVE A WORKING HANDLE TO EXIT A VEHICLE. NOW SINCE MY SON IS OLDER, I AM CONCERNED WITH HIS ABILITY TO EXIT OUT SAFELY IN AN EMERGENCY. THE POOR DESIGN CREATES A SAFETY ISSUE FOR OWNERS AND THEIR PASSENGERS.

VEHICLE STALLS RANDOMLY, LOSING POWER BRAKES AND STEERING. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. UNFORTUNATELY, THERE NEEDS TO BE SOLID A RESOLUTION AS PEOPLE CAN'T SPEND TONS OF MONEY ON WHAT THE ISSUE "MIGHT" BE AND THEN GET BACK ON THE ROAD IN THIS DEATH TRAP TO ONLY HAVE IT STALL AGAIN.

I JUST PURCHASED THIS 2006 JEEP COMMANDER AND NOTICED AFTER PURCHASE THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. READ LATER THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. DID MANUFACTURER EVER PUT OUT A RECALL FOR THIS? IS THIS A SENSOR ISSUE?

VALVE SEALS WENT IN ENGINE CAUSING CATASTROPHIC FAIL. SHUT OFF VEHICLE, WENT TO START AGAIN, STARTED BUT STARTED TO MAKE A HORRIBLE NOISE, WOULD NOT STAY STARTED.

THE VEHICLE HAS POWER FAILURE WHILE DRIVING AND WHILE STATIONARY WITH ENGINE RUNNING! THE DASHBOARD INSTRUMENT PANEL, GAUGES, LIGHTS, HVAC, RADIO, ETC. SHUTS OFF BUT THE VEHICLE STILL RUNS, AND IT CONTINUES TO TURN OFF AND ON OVER AND OVER AGAIN. ALSO, IT OCCURS WHETHER ON A SMOOTH SURFACE IN MOTION OR WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD, AND IT OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SITTING STILL WITH ENGINE RUNNING. IT MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE THE VEHICLE IS ABOUT TO SHUT OFF. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY VEHICLE, REGARDLESS OF THE LOCATION. THERE IS A SAFETY RECALL FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH, AND I FEEL THIS PROBLEM MAY BE RELATED TO THAT ISSUE.

FIRST THE SEAT BELT WOULDN'T CLICK INTO PLACE WITHOUT PRESSING DOWN THE RED BUTTON. NOW EVEN IF YOU DO THAT THE SEAT BELT LIGHT/DINGS WILL BE ON THROUGHOUT THE RIDE. I SEE ON THE INTERNET MANY OTHERS HAVING THIS ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT NOTICED A STRONG ODOR OF EXHAUST FUMES INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND INDICATED THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLT WAS STRUCTURALLY UNSOUND. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHILE RAINING WATER DRAINS INTO VEHICLE FROM SUNROOF CAUSING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. LIGHTS CONSTANTLY FLICKERING, DASHBOARD LIGHTS CONSTANTLY TURNING ON AND OFF, INTERIOR WATER DAMAGE, RUSTING INSIDE COMPONENTS. THIS INCIDENT HAPPENS CONSTANTLY FORCING ME TO KEEP HEADLIGHTS ON HIGH BEAM AT ALL TIMES WHILE THE CAR IS STATIONARY AS WELL AS IN MOTION ON STREETS AS WELL AS HIGHWAYS. THIS PROBLEM CAUSES UNNECESSARY PROBLEMS BEING THAT WHILE THE CAR IS GOING THROUGH THIS THE TURNING SIGNALS, WIPER BLADES, AIR CONDITIONING TURN OFF AND ON. EVEN THOUGH MY CAR WAS SERVICED UNDER WARRANTY FOR REAR SEATBELTS THE BELTS ARE CONSTANTLY JAMMING KEEPING MY CHILDREN CAPTIVE AND AT SOME POINTS IT WILL NOT SUCCESSFULLY LATCH.

DOOR HANDLE BROKEN ALL 4 DOORS

ENGINES SURGES CONTINUOSLY. RPM'S SURGE.

ENGINE DIED WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY TWICE

WATER LEAK RIGHT SIDE A PILLAR WET FLOOR MAT ALSO WATER DRIPPING DOWN FROM FRONT OF THE SUNROOF AND BEHIND CONTROLS ON THE DASH STEREO SCREEN FLASHES ON AND OFF CANNOT READ SCREEN.

THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE CASING CRACKED AND COMPLETELY CRUMBLED. IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE BECAUSE OF THIS. A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH SHOWS THAT IT IS A PREVALENT PROBLEM AND NOT AN ISSUE CAUSED BY NORMAL WEAR. THIS CAN BE A SERIOUS HAZARD IF THE DRIVER NEEDS TO EXIT THE VEHICLE QUICKLY AND CANNOT ACCESS ANOTHER DOOR OR ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW TO OPEN IT FROM THE OUTSIDE.

VEHICLE WAS SOLD WITH NO LIGHTS IN BACK, INCLUDING BREAK AND REVERSE LIGHTS, BROKEN SEAT BELTS IN BACK SEATS AND ONE BACK SEAT THAT DOES NOT FOLD DOWN WHICH BLOCKS REAR VIEW, AND FINALLY WITH BALD TIRES THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY. THE LIGHTS WERE SUPPOSEDLY FIXED BY THE DEALERSHIP'S REPAIR SHOP BUT AFTER ONLY A FEW WEEKS THE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING. THE SEAT BELTS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE REPLACED AND WE WERE TOLD THAT REPLACEMENTS WERE ORDERED BUT THE DEALERSHIP NEVER CALLED BACK TO CONFIRM THAT THEY ARRIVED AND READY FOR INSTALLATION, THEY STILL HAVE NOT BEEN REPLACED. WE WERE TOLD THAT THE TIRES AND SEAT FOLDING DOWN WERE NOT SAFETY ISSUES AND HAD TO REPLACE THE TIRES OURSELVES. THE SEAT STILL DOES NOT FOLD DOWN AND THE LIGHTS ON THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE STILL DON'T STAY ON.

COMPUTER PROBLEMS AFTER N23 & P73 RECALL WORK COMPLETED 11/2015. WHEN DRIVING VEHICLE AFTER RECALL WORK COMPLETED, WHEN STOPPED & SHIFTED INTO REVERSE, VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE IN REVERSE, ENGINE REVERED UP WHEN PRESSESD ACCELERATOR AS IF IT WERE IN NEUTRAL. ALSO NOW HAVE INDICATOR MSG THT SAYS " SERVICE 4 WHEEL DRIVE". CALLED CHRYSLER & THEY MADE APPT WITH ANOTHER DEALERSHIP TO CHECK/REDO THE RECALL WORK. DEALERSHIP SAID THE FIRST TIME RECALL WORK WAS DONE IT WAS DONE INCORRECTLY & CHRYSLER PAID THEM TO REDO RECALL WORK. CON TIED TO HAVE SAME ISSUES. CALLED CHRYSLER AGAIN & THEY MADE APPT WITH LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO RECHECK VEHICLE. WAS TOLD BY DEALERSHIP THAT "SERVICE 4 WHEEL DRIVE" INDICATOR COMES ON AFTER SO MANY MILES ON VEHICLE & ONLY MEANS TO HAVE NORMAL MAINTANANCE PERFORMED ON VEHICLE, COST $400, HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH RECALL WORK. EXPLAINED THAT INDICATER CAME ON AFTER RECALL WORK DONE NOT BEFORE SO MILEAGE HADN'T REALLY CHANGED. MORLAN CHRYSLER ATTEMPTED RESETTING RECALL WORK & INSISTED I HAD TO PAY THEM TO PERFORM RECALL WORK. CALLED CHRYSLER & WAS REINBURSED FOR THE COST TO HAVE RECALL REDONE FOR 2ND TIME. CONTINUED TO HAVE SAME ISSUES & DEALERSHIP & CHRYSLER STATED IT'S NO LONGER A RECALL ISSUE. ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE IS DOING EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL NOTICE SAYS THE RECALL IS SUPPOSED TO FIX THAT THE VEHICLE WASN'T DOING PRIOR TO THE RECALL WORK BEING DONE. NOW 2 YRS LATER VEHICLE IS STILL SHIFTING ITSELF INTO NEUTRAL WHEN TRYING TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE IT IS ALSO SHIFTI

SEATBELTS DO NOT LATCH PROPERLY AND BECOME UNDONE WHILE TIGHTENING. THEY ALSO BECOME STUCK.THIS COULD POSE A SERIOUS PROBLEM IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT.

THIS MIGHT BE TAMARA INFLATORS. SERVICE LIGHT IS ON FOR PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AIRBAG

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. WHILE STATIONARY OR WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION.

WHILE SITTING AT A STOPLIGHT VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE FEELS AS THE LOSS OF POWER. VEHICLE DOES NOT WANT TO MOVE THEN TOLD IT'S IN SOME SORT OF SAFETY MODE I THINK THE LEAD FRAME IS FAILING FROM WHAT I CAN TELL. VEHICLE SITTING AT A STOPLIGHT FAILS TO ACCELERATE BARELY MOVES

JEEP COMMANDER 2006 LIMITED 5.7 L ENGINE. THE COMPLAINT IS AS FOLLOWS: WHILE DRIVING, AT RANDOM, SLOW AND MEDIUM SPEEDS, ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS ACTIVATE AT ONE TIME FOLLOWED BY IMMEDIATE LOSS OF ENGINE POWER. (AT NO TIME DID MY KNEE HIT THE KEY OR IGNITION CYLINDER) THIS ISSUE DOES NOT CLEAR UP ON ITS OWN. THE ONLY SOLUTION TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT IS TO IMMEDIATELY PUT INTO NEUTRAL, PULL OFF THE ROAD OR HIGHWAY AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. (AT THIS TIME, THE CAR IS SPUTTERING SEVERELY OR STALLS) NEXT STEP- TURN THE KEY TO OFF POSITION, WAIT A FEW SECONDS AND RE START THE VEHICLE. IT STARTS AND RUNS NORMALLY. THE LOSS OF POWER AND DASH LIGHT ACTIVATION IS OCCURRING EVERY OTHER DAY. UPON MY OWN FURTHER INVESTIGATION, MANY REPORTS HAVE BEEN LOGGED (WITH BASICALLY THE SAME COMPLAINT) ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM, WITH ADDITIONAL VIDEO PROOF ON U TUBE ( JUST TYPE IN JEEP COMMANDER DASHBOARD HAYWIRE) WITH SEVERAL VIDEOS OF THE INCIDENT. CHYRSLER CUSTOMER CARE CLAIMS ( AS OF TODAY) TO KNOW NOTHING ABOUT IT - TOLD ME TO CALL LOCAL DEALER, LOCAL JEEP DEALER (CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW) WAS CONTACTED- THEY CLAIM TO NOW NOTHING ABOUT IT. TOLD BOTH AGENCIES TO GET OFF THEIR BUTT TO LOOK AT CAR COMPLAINTS.COM OR JUST VIEW THE NUMEROUS U TUBE VIDEOS. WITH THIS MANY COMPLAINTS, I FIND IT SURPRISING THAT CHRYSLER TO NOT BE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE. I HAVE FOLLOWED ALL RECALLS AND HAD THE IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER AND REPROGRAM THE FINAL DRIVE CONTROL MODULE COMPLETED MANY MONTHS BEFORE PROBLEM OCCURRED. ANY ASSISTANCE

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 120,000.

ALL THE ELECTRICAL ON MY DASH MOST THE TIME IS LINES AND FLICKERS, BUT DECIDES TO SHOW UP ONCE IN A WHILE FOR A MINUTE OR TWO. MY BIG PROBLEM IS STARTING THE CAR. IT DOES THIS CLICK CLICK SOUND MOST THE TIME BUT THEN STARTS ONCE IN A WHILE OUT OF THE BLUE. I HAVE BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR WITHIN THE LAST YEAR. IT ALSO SLAMS FROM GEAR TO GEAR! I HAVE HAD FOUR DIFFERENT DIAGNOSTIC TESTS DONE BY DIFFERENT PLACES & I HAVE BEEN FIGHTING WITH THIS FOR A COUPLE YEARS!

I ACCEPTED THAT IT MAY BE COINCIDENCE, UNTIL ONE MONTH LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO MY DIVERS SIDE DOOR! IT CAN'T BE COINCIDENCE AND NOW I HAVE DIFFICULTY GETTING OUT OF MY VEHICLE.

MY FAVORITE, JEEP COMMANDER 2006 3.7 V6. 103600 MILEAGE. THE CAR SHUTS DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FROM LAST NOVEMBER. I FEEL LIKE I'M IN A DEATH TRAP BECAUSE WHEN CARS GOING 60 - 70 MPH ON I-495 AND CAR LOST POWER. ALL I CAN REALLY DO IS PRAY THAT MY FAMILY DON'T GET KILLED. THE DEALER FIXED FLIPPING KEY PROBLEM AT THE SAME YEAR OF SUMMER BECAUSE OF THE RECALL. THIS IS REALLY NOT RELATED I BELIEVE. IT HAPPENED 6 TIMES MOSTLY WINTER SEASON BETWEEN NOVEMBER THROUGH JANUARY EASTERN TIME LAST YEAR, AND THIS STALLING PROBLEM CAME BACK LAST SUNDAY DEC 10TH, 2017 WHILE DRIVING ON NORTHERN STATE PARKWAY TO MICRO CENTER IN NY. 3 TIMES ALREADY THIS SEASON. THE BEST WAY ONLY I FOUND FOR OUR SAFETY. SLOWLY MOVE OVER ON THE SHOULDER FINDING PLACE TO STOP WHILE SPEEDING DOWN, AND HAVE ONE CHANCE OF STOP TO BREAK VEHICLE WITHOUT POWER. HOWEVER, LUCKILY IT STARTS AGAIN AND RUNS NORMAL. THE DEALER, DAIMLER CHRYSLER CONSUMER CENTER. THEY NEVER CARE ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND KEEP CHARGING FOR THE SERVICE WITHOUT A SOLUTION. MY RESEARCH IS ON GOING TO FIND ECM, PCMA, AND FCM PROBLEMS. I AM SCARED FOR MY FAMILIES SAFETY. THE CAR CUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. ANY IDEAS, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP US.

EVERY SINGLE DOOR HANDLE IN THE JEEP BROKE UNDER NORMAL USE SOMEWHAT ABLE TO OPEN FROM INSIDE, BUT A VERY BIG SAFTY HAZARDS WHEN MY KIDS OR PASSENGERS CANNOT OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. KINDA SCARY WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT. SLIGHTLY AFTER REVIEVING MY USED JEEP ONE DOOR HANDLE AFTER THE OTHER BREAKS UPON BUMPING INTO HANDLE.

JEEP KEEPS STALLING WHEN BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY AND WHILE AT IDLE OR AT STOP SIGN ON CITY STREETS.

THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS PULLING OUT INTO BUSY TRAFFIC FROM A SIDE STREET. I ACCELERATED QUICKLY AND WHEN I BACKED MY FOOT OFF THE PEDDLE THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. I TAPPED THE PEDDLE A COUPLE TIMES THINKING IT WAS CAUGHT ON THE FLOOR MATT (NOT).IT BACK OFF AND THEN IT DID IT BRIEFLY AGAIN BEFORE CORRECTING ITSELF. THIS WAS ALL IN A 10 SEC. TIME PERIOD..... THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY. I STEPPED DOWN TO PASS A CAR AND THE PEDDLE MOVED TO THE FLOOR AND STAYED THERE FOR ABOUT 15 SECONDS, RELEASED AND WENT TO THE FLOOR AGAIN FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS. I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BREAK TRYING NOT TO HIT OTHER CARS AHEAD OF ME. EVERYTIME I LIFT MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE WE WENT FASTER. THEN IT CORRECTED ITSELF AGAIN. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD THE SECOND TIME AND CHECKED TO MAKE SURE THERE WAS NOTHING ON THE FLOOR BOARD THAT MIGHT HAVE INTERFERED WITH THE PEDDLE BUT THERE WAS NOTHING. I WAS NOT USING THE CRUISE CONTROL IN EITHER OCCURRENCE. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT BUT COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN. I DID HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE CAR.

I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I WAS IN TOWN TRAVELING ABOUT 30-35 MPH, THE CAR I WAS FOLLOWING SWITCHED LANES AND I HIT A CAR THAT WAS COMPLETELY STOPPED. THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT HAD BEEN GOING ON AND OFF FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS. I DIDN'T THINK TOO MUCH OF IT BECAUSE IT IS NOT THE ONLY WARNING LIGHT THAT SOMETIMES DOES THAT. I FIGURED THE ELECTRONICS PROBABLY DIDN;T LIKE ALL THE WATER THAT POURS INTO THE FRAME AND ONTO THE DRIVERS FLOOR.

INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE ON PASSENGER SIDE CRUMBLED. THE LEVER HANGS LOOSE AND YOU ARE UNABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR AND EXIT USING THE HANDLE. SOMEONE HAS TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM OUTSIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WITH A PASSENGER TRYING TO EXIT. THE DRIVER SIDE NOW HAS PLAY IN THE HANDLE AND I SUSPECT IT WILL NOT BE LONG BEFORE IT CRUMBLES AS WELL. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT A REPAIR KIT AND WAS TOLD THAT JEEP ONLY HAD A KIT FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE AND I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE DOOR PANEL FOR $350.00+. 3 PICTURES ATTACHED.
