2006 Jeep Commander complaints

MY HUSBAND AND I ARE LEASING A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER SINCE NOV 2005. I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN 3 SEPARATE TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS ON MAY 31 2006, AUGUST 8 2006 AND SEPTEMBER 20 2007. THE ENGINE STALLED DURING LOW SPEED TURNS ON BOTH AUGUST 8 2006 AND SEPTEMBER 20 2007. I HAD JUST LEFT A STOP SIGN ON MAY 31 2006 WHEN MY ENGINE STALLED IN THE INTERSECTION, RESULTING IN A CRASH. I WAS CITED FOR FAILURE TO YIELD ON MAY 31 2006. I WASN'T CITED ON AUGUST 8 2006 OR SEPTEMBER 20 2007, ALTHOUGH THE POLICE REPORT FROM THE SEPTEMBER 20 2007 ACCIDENT DESCRIBES A "FAILURE TO YIELD." I HAVE ALSO HAD ONGOING TIRE PRESSURE ISSUES AS WELL AS INTERMITTENT BRAKE FAILURE ISSUES. PRIOR TO MAY 31 2006 I HAD NEVER BEEN INVOLVED IN A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT NOR HAD I RECEIVED ANY TRAFFIC CITATIONS. I AM 48 YEARS OLD. MY VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED TWICE AFTER THE FIRST 2 ACCIDENTS, BUT I AM AWAITING CONTACT FROM THE OTHER PARTY'S AUTO INSURER BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH THE REPAIRS FOLLOWING YESTERDAY'S ACCIDENT. I'VE BROUGHT THE 2006 JEEP COMMANDER IN TO BUD MULCAHY'S JEEP ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THAT DEALERSHIP IS NOW CLOSED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. WHEN THE CONTACT STARTED THE VEHICLE, THE HEADLIGHTS AND INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE. HE STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES FAILED TO WORK AS WELL. WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNED IN EITHER DIRECTION WITHOUT APPLYING THE BRAKES, THE ABS WOULD ENGAGE AND THE VEHICLE DECELERATED. THE CONTACT FELT THE PULSATING VIBRATION THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL AND HEARD THE ABS ENGAGE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH AND GREATER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE, HOWEVER, THEY RESET THE CODES IN THE VEHICLE. TWO WEEKS LATER, WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DIFFERENT DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE REMOTE START MODULE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE AND FOUR WHEEL DRIVE LIGHTS WOULD OFTEN ILLUMINATE AND DIM AUTOMATICALLY. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 20,000.

MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER CONTINUALLY STALLS, THREATENING THE LIVES OF WHOEVER IS IN THE CAR. THERE IS NO WARNING. SUDDENLY THERE WILL BE A COMPLETE LOSS OF CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE. NO WARNING LIGHTS, NO BELLS, SOUNDS, WHISTLES...NOTHING! THE ONLY WAY TO REMEDY IS TO TURN VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART. THIS TURNS IN TO A LIFE THREATENING INCIDENT WHEN THE TRAFFIC BEHIND YOU IS UNAWARE THAT YOU ARE IN FACT STALLED. THE DEALERSHIP HAS NO UPDATES OR COMPLAINTS OF THIS PROBLEM (YA, RIGHT) AND DRIVES IT AROUND THE BLOCK...WITH NO INCIDENCES OCCURRING. IF THEY THINK IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN WHILE THEY'RE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THEY'RE WRONG. I 'M RISKING MY FAMILIES LIVES EVERY TIME WE GET IN THE CAR. IT'S THE MOST EXPENSIVE PIECE OF JUNK I'VE EVER OWNED! VISIBILITY OUT THE REAR WINDOW WHEN THE 3RD ROW SEATS ARE UP IS JUST ABOUT ZERO. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. YOU CAN'T SEE CARS, KIDS, OR YOUR NEIGHBORS HOUSE WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO SEE WHAT'S BEHIND YOU. DRIVER'S SIDE LOCKS ON IT'S OWN. LUCKILY THE PASSENGER DOORS REMAIN UNLOCKED, SO I HAVEN'T LOCKED MYSELF OUT...YET. *JB

JEEP COMMANDER STALLS AT SLOW SPEEDS WHEN COMING TO A STOP. STARTED TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC AND HAD NO POWER. THIS COULD BE A FATAL PROBLEM IF THIS HAPPENS IN BUSY TRAFFIC. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS! I HAVE HEARD AND READ STORY AFTER STORY OF THIS SAME PROBLEM HAPPENING TO OTHER JEEP COMMANDER OWNERS. *JB

STEPPED ON MY BRAKE AND THE CAR DID NOT STOP UNTIL I RE-APPLIED MY BRAKE. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH UPHILL, THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY WARNING INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AND THEN REGAINED SPEED WHEN TRAVELING DOWNHILL. THERE WAS NOT A LOSS OF STEERING OR BRAKES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED BY A DEALER. THE VIN, ENGINE SIZE, AND NUMBER OF CYLINDERS WERE UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 22,500. UPDATED 10/03/07 *TR

JEEP COMMANDER 2006. ENGINE STALLS WHILE DRIVING. LOSS OF POWER. *JB

TWICE WHILE PULLING INTO PARKING SPACES, ONCE WHILE PULLING OUT OF A DRIVE-THROUGH INTO THE MAIN ROAD, AND ONCE WHILE COMING TO A STOP SIGN, MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER HAS STALLED, LOSING BRAKES AND STEERING. I HAVE TO RESTART THE CAR USING THE KEY. NO INDICATOR LIGHT TELLS ME WHAT HAPPENED OR THAT THERE IS ANYTHING WRONG. THE FIRST TIME IT TOOK INTO THE DEALER, THEY SAID THAT MY COMPUTERIZED FUEL MIX RATIO WAS WAY OFF. THEY SAID IT SHOULD BE AT 0 AND THAT MINE WAS AT 6.SOMETHING. THEY RESET IT TO 1.5, THE LOWEST THEY COULD GET IT TO. THEY FELT THAT THIS WAS THE PROBLEM CAUSING THE STALL. I GOT THE CAR BACK AND IT DID NOT STALL FOR TWO MONTHS BUT THEN STALLED AGAIN. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY COMPUTERIZED INDICATOR TO TELL THEM WHY THIS WAS HAPPENING AND COULD NOT MAKE IT HAPPEN WHILE IT WAS AT THE SHOP. THE SHOP MANAGER SAID THAT HE EVEN LOOKED ON THE INTERNET TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY OTHER CASES AND COULD FIND NONE. HESAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING FROM DAIMLER/CHRYSLER ABOUT IT EITHER. WHEN I WENT TO THE NTSBA WEB SITE, I FOUND THAT THERE WAS AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS SINCE FEB 2007 AND THAT DAIMLER/CHRYSLER RESPONDED THAT THEY ARE NOW DOING THEIR OWN INVESTIGATION. IF THIS IS THE CASE, WHY WOULD THE DEALERSHIP NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I GOT THE CAR BACK AND WITHIN TWO WEEKS IT STALLED AGAIN AT THE STOP SIGN. THIS LAST INCIDENT WAS ON SEPT 13, 2007. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY DO NOT HAVE A SOLUTION. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED AND ALL OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS BLINKED ON AND OFF. SHE STATED THAT THERE WAS NO STABILITY WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE SWERVED AND THEN SHUT OFF WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUT DOWN INTERMITTENTLY AND THE CONTACT MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE OCCURS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. SHE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER 8 TIMES CONCERNING THE STALLING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE SHE FEARS SHE WILL CRASH. THE POWERTRAIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 32,500 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,000.

WE PURCHASED A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER IN APRIL 2007. SINCE WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, IT HAS STALLED ON 12 SEPARATE, RANDOM OCCASIONS. I HAVE DOCUMENTED THE STALLS WHICH HAVE OCCURRED WHILE IN REVERSE, DRIVING LESS THAN 10MPH, AND AT HIGHER SPEEDS ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN THE CAR SHUTS DOWN WHILE ON, I HAVE TO PULL OVER (WITH NO LIGHTS OR POWER STEERING) AND PUT THE CAR INTO PARK TO RESTART THE CAR. IT ALWAYS STARTS UP AGAIN WITH NO PROBLEMS. I HAVE ALSO NOTED THAT IT OCCURS IN BOTH COLD AND WARM TEMPERATURES. I HAVE HAD THE CAR IN JEEP'S SERVICE DEPTS ON THREE OCCASIONS. ON THE FIRST TWO VISITS, THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. ON THE THIRD VISIT, THEY ADMITTED THAT OTHERS HAD COMPLAINED OF THE SAME PROBLEMS AND THEY REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH TO SEE IF THAT CORRECTS THE PROBLEM. I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER COMMANDER OWNERS WHO ALSO HAVE HAD THIS SAME MAJOR ISSUE WITH THEIR VEHICLE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. WHILE DRIVING 5-30 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE HAS OCCURRED ELEVEN TIMES. THE DEALER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE ON FOUR OCCASIONS, BUT WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE FIRST FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,500 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 15,545. UPDATED 01/09/08. *LJ THE CONSUMER STATED VEHICLE HAS STALLED A FEW MORE TIMES, DEALER ATTEMPTED TO FIX BUT TO NO AVAIL. UPDATED 12/12/07 *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE ENGINE LOST POWER, HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO RUN AT A DECREASED SPEED. HE PLACED THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL, RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, AND THEN DROVE TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VIN, ENGINE SIZE, AND NUMBER OF CYLINDERS WERE UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 20,400.

JEEP COMMANDER LIMITED 2006 STALLED WHILE DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 25MPH. CAR LOST POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. THE CAR EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE ELECTRICAL FAILURE AND JUST DIED. EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE INCLUDE THE CAR RUMBLING TO THE POINT WHERE IT FEELS AS IF WOULD STALL BUT DID NOT. IT FINALLY DID COMPLETELY STALL AS NOTED IN THE OPENING SENTENCES. THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED, STATED THEY CANNOT PIN POINT THE EXACT CAUSE BUT PER CHRYSLER A POSSIBLE SOLUTION WAS TO CLEAN AND RESEAL THE MAIN WIRING HARNESS TO THE POWER DISTRIBUTION CENTER. AFTER THAT THEY HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTING PHONE CALLS TO CHRYSLER TO TROUBLESHOOT THE PROBLEM. WE WERE TOLD CHRYSLER CAN'T GUARANTEE THE PROBLEM WILL BE FOUND. NOW WE ARE LEFT WITH A CAR THAT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AS IT MAY STALL OUT WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT WARNING. *TR

CAR STALLS ON THE HIGHWAY. HAVE TO RENT A CAR UNTIL THE DEALERSHIP CAN FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. WAS INITIALLY TOLD THAT IT WAS A POWERTRAIN ISSUE AND A NEW COMPUTER WAS PUT IN BUT IT STILL SITS AT THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE NO ONE KNOWS WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT.

I OWN A JEEP COMMANDER AND IT HAS DIED ON ME FOR NOW REASON NOW MORE THAN 7 TIMES. I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT, SOMETIMES ON THE FREEWAY THE CAR JUST STOPS. I STEP ON THE GAS AND THE CAR DOESN'T MOVE THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF AND THE STEERING WHEEL HARDENS AND DOESN'T STEER. I TOOK IT INTO THE JEEP DEALER WHERE I LEASED IT FROM AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE ARE OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH OTHER COMMANDER OWNERS BUT THEY HAVE NO FIX TO IT. THEY EVEN TOLD ME THAT WHEN THEY FIND WHAT'S WRONG WITH SOMEONE ELSE'S COMMANDER THEY WOULD CALL ME SO I GUESS THEY STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG THIS HAD BEEN HAPPENING NOW A LOT LATELY. I AM GOING TO TAKE IT BACK AGAIN TO THE DEALER SHIP AND SEE WHAT THEY SAY. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON ALSO EVERY NOW AND THEN IT COMES ON AND STAYS ON FOR LIKE 5 TO 10 MINUTES THEN GOES OFF. *TR

WE OWN A JEEP COMMANDER 2006, WE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE SHUTTING OFF. IT HAS HAPPEN WHILE TURNING, WHILE TAKING AN OFF RAMP, ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE REFUSED TO ALLOW ANYONE TO DRIVE THE COMMANDER CONSIDERING I HAVE 3 CHILDREN AND MY WIFE. THE UPSETTING PART IS THAT THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THE COMPUTER SAYS THEIR IS NO PROBLEM. THE LAST INCIDENT WAS ON SEPT. 04 2007. *TR

MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER HAS STALLED ON MY TWICE NOW WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. DIDN'T REALIZE IT HAD STALLED UNTIL I TRIED TO GIVE GAS OR USE THE BRAKE. HARD TO MANEUVER OFF TO SIDE OF ROAD DUE TO POWER STEERING GOING OUT AFTER THE STALL. VERY DANGEROUS! *TR

LOSS OF STEERING WHEN RAINING AND VEHICLE IS DRIVEN THROUGH PUDDLES OF WATER ON THE ROADWAY. *TR

I TOOK MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER TO MY LOCAL DEALER WHERE I ORIGINALLY PURCHASED IT TO GET THE STALLING PROBLEM FIXED. FIVE DAYS LATER THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT THE PROBLEM WAS NOW SOLVED (AUGUST 24,2007) FINALLY. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THEY PUT IN A NEW PROGRAM THAT WOULD FIX THE JEEP FROM JUST LOSING POWER. AUGUST 25 SATURDAY MORNING AT 8:13 WHILE AT AN INTERSECTION THE JEEP JUST DIED AGAIN. ANOTHER PROBLEM IS THE WINDSHIELD BREAKING EASILY. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM WITH THE BREAKING WINDSHIELD COULD BE RELATED TO THE INPROPER FITTING OF THE WINDSHIELD WHICH RESULTS IN A LOUD NOISE BEING HEARD INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY WON'T FIX THE SEAL PROBLEM BECAUSE MY JEEP HAS TWO CRACKS ON IT. I SAID "IF YOU HAD FIXED THE WINDSHIELD SEAL PROBLEM THE FIRST 3 TIMES I BROUGHT IT IN WE WOULDN'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM'. NO PROBLEMS HAVE YET TO BE SOLVED. ANCIRA DEALERSHIP IN SAN ANTONIO,TX. MANY JEEP OWNERS ARE PURCHASING MULTIPLE WINDSHIELDS AT $385 A POP. THE DEALER TRIED TO SAY IT'S JUST ME UNTIL I POINTED OUT ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS IN WRITING WITH ALL DIFFERENT VIN NUMBERS AND EVEN SHOWED HER THE RENTAL CAR (JEEP COMMANDER) WHICH ALSO HAD A CRACKED WINDSHIELD. SHE'S CONVINCED TOO. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENTIRE VEHICLE WAS FLOODED WITH WATER. THE WATER APPEARED TO HAVE ORIGINATED FROM THE HANDRAILS LOCATED ON BOTH SIDES OF THE WINDSHIELD. THE WATER LEAKED INTO THE SIDE OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE SPEAKERS. THE DEALER REPLACED THE AMPLIFIER IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE EXTENSIVE WATER DAMAGE. THE ENGINE SIZE, POWERTRAIN, AND A VALID VIN WERE UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 7,368.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATOR LIGHTS PRESENT. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED AFTER EACH FAILURE. THE DEALER KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR A WEEK, BUT WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 45,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 43,000.

FRONT WINDSHIELD SEEMS TO BE EASILY DAMAGED. I INITIALLY THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ANOTHER PEBBLE BUT WHEN IT HAPPEN AGAIN WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN MY NEIGHBORHOOD STREET I REALIZED SOMETHING WAS WRONG. I THINK THE PROBLEMS I'M HAVING WITH A WHISTLING NOISE THAT'S HEARD WHILE DRIVING WHICH POINTS TO A SEAL PROBLEM ARE ASSOCIATED. WHEN A WINDSHIELD IS NOT PROPERLY FITTED IT CAN LEAD TO THE GLASS BEING MORE SENSITIVE TO DAMAGE. MY DEALER WOULD NOT FIX THE SEAL UNTIL I REPLACED THE WINDSHIELD UNTIL I POINTED OUT THEY ARE ASSOCIATED. *TR

SUNROOF AND WINDSHIELD HAS LEAK WHICH CAUSED WATER DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE. I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN WITH ALL THE OTHER DEFECTS THAT ARE NOW BE DISCOVERED WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THE SERVICE PEOPLE TOLD ME IT WAS MY FAULT FOR NOT CLEANING THE TUBES NEAR THE SUNROOF. AFTER SERVICING THE JEEP THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT DISCOVERED THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTED. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM SO I NOW HIRED AN ATTORNEY WHO IS VERY FAMILIAR WITH THESE PROBLEMS AND HAS SETTLED NUMEROUS SETTLEMENTS FOR ALL THESE DEFECTS. *TR

WINDSHIELD ISN'T SEALED PROPERLY WHICH CAUSES A LOUD WHISTLING NOISE WHILE DRIVING. DEALER COULD NOT FIX PROBLEM. FURTHER MORE, THE SEAL PROBLEM SEEMS TO MAKE THE WINDSHIELD MORE SENSITIVE TO BEING DAMAGED. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER LAST YEAR. I HAVE HAD THE FOLLOWING ITEMS REPLACED ON MY JEEP FRONT PASSENGER INTERIOR DOOR PANEL. STRANGE NOISE COMING FROM MY CAR THAT SOUNDED LIKE PLAYING CARDS IN BIKE TIRES ENDED WITH REPLACING FRONT AXEL RING AND PINION. CAR KEPT POPPING OUT OF GEAR THE ENTIRE GEAR SHIFT WAS REPLACED. MY PASSENGER WINDOW HAD TO BE FIXED IT KEPT STICKING HALFWAY UP. I HAD A PROBLEM WHERE MY CAR KEPT STALLING. I WAS TOLD THE FIRST TIME THAT NO ERROR APPEARS ON THE COMPUTER AND JEEP KNEW OF NO ISSUE WITH CARS STALLING SO MAYBE IT WAS BAD GAS. IT DIED SEVERAL MORE TIMES AND FINALLY THEY DID REPLACE A PART INSIDE THE IDOL. I ALSO HAD AN ISSUE WHERE MY HEADLIGHTS KEPT TURNING OFF AS I DROVE OR WOULD FLASH ON AND OFF. THEY REPLACED THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH. I HAVE HAD THE RUBBER STRIPPING FROM MY BACK DRIVER SIDE WINDOW COME OFF AND NOW IT IS OCCURRING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. FROM THE BEGINNING I HAVE TOLD THEM I DO NOT FEEL MY TRANSMISSION IS WORKING PROPERLY THAT IT SHIFTS HARD AND WHEN I SHIFT FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE THERE IS A BIG HESITATION. I HAVE BEEN TOLD NO ERROR IS APPEARING ON COMPUTER AND THAT JEEP AS USUAL HAS NO KNOWN ISSUES SO THEY HAD NO SUGGESTIONS. ONCE AGAIN THEY THOUGHT IT WAS A GAS ISSUE MOVING FROM WINTER TO SUMMER BLEND. THE LAST TIME I HAD IT IN WHEN IT WAS STALLING I TOLD THEM IT THE TRANSMISSION WAS STILL HESITATING AND WOULD MAKE A POP NOISE AT TIMES THEN IT WOULD GO. IT IS STILL OCCURRING AND AT TIMES THE CAR ACTS LIKE IT MIGHT NOT SHIFT I

I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER STALLING ON ME. I HAVE HAD IT SERVICED THREE TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND EACH TIME I AM TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM CAN NOT BE DUPLICATED AND NO ACTION WAS TAKEN. MOST RECENTLY THE VEHICLE STALLED ON ME IN STOP AND GO RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON THE FREEWAY. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR. *JB

I HAVE A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER THAT IN MY EXPERIENCE HAS A SEVERE DESIGN FLAW. THE WINDSHIELD WILL NOT AND DOES NOT DEFLECT EVEN SMALL ROAD DEBRIS. THE CURVE/ANGLE OF THE GLASS IS THE ISSUE. MY WINDSHIELD HAS BEEN CRACKED MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS I'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE. SEVERAL OTHERS FEEL THE SAME WAY JUST QUERY THE INTERNET. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT MAY END WITH THE LOSS OF LIFE. THIS DESIGN SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ALLOWED ON THE ROADS... PLEASE HELP. *JB

WE PURCHASED A 2006 BRAND NEW JEEP COMMANDER FOR SAFETY AND RELIABILITY REASONS. WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING WITH OUR THREE YOUNG DAUGHTERS ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS OF 70 MPH DURING THE EVENING HOURS THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF AND LOST ALL POWER. MY WIFE AVOIDED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT BY QUICKLY TURNING. SHE LATER RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND DROVE THE ENTIRE TRIP ON THE SERVICE ROAD. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE TO BOTH MY WIFE AND MYSELF. THE PROBLEM HAS NOW BEEN ID, IT'S THE LOCATION OF THE IGNITION KEY BEING JUST ABOVE THE RIGHT KNEE. WHILE DRIVING THE JEEP CLOSE CAUTION MUST BE EXERCISED WHILE DRIVING NOT TO HIT THE KEY. VERY DANGEROUS AND SERIOUS SITUATION. *JB

1) DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON; BRAKE WAS APPLIED TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL. 2) HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF, SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER AND FUEL GAUGE SHUT OFF; A MOMENT AFTER, THE TIRES LOCKED UP AND THE VEHICLE SPUN 180 DEGREES, THEN COLLIDED WITH A GUARD RAIL AND BOUNCED OFF AND RETURNED TO THE INTERSTATE IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC FACING THE WRONG WAY 3) INDEPENDENT INSPECTOR WAS HIRED BY CHRYSLER; THE REPORT FOUND NO MECHANICAL DEFECT NOR DID IT FIND ANY COMPUTER CODES THAT WOULD INDICATE A MALFUNCTION; CHRYSLER DENIES THERE IS A PROBLEM AND RECOMMENDED WE CONTACT OUR INSURANCE COMPANY FOR REPAIRS. *JB

WHILE DRIVING, VEHICLE HAS A COMPLETE BLACKOUT - IT COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN, ENGINE STOPS RUNNING, EVERYTHING DIES! THIS HAS HAPPENED WHEN DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND WHEN ON A LOCAL ROAD. DEALER CAN NOT FIND PROBLEM. VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT DEALER IN EXCESS OF 30 DAYS WITHOUT RESOLUTION. DEALER LENT US A LOANER - SAME MODEL - AND THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED. WHEN REPORTED TO CHRYSLER CORPORATE, THEY DID NOTHING AND WERE NOT INTERESTED IN HELPING ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. WE FEEL THIS PROBLEM IS SERIOUS ENOUGH TO CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT, DEATH AND OR INJURY. *TR

EXPERIENCED ENGINE STALL AND LOSS OF POWER TO INSTRUMENT PANEL MOMENTARILY WHILE APPROACHING RESIDENTIAL 30 MPH SPEED. HAD JUST PULLED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND WAS ACCELERATING WHEN IT HAPPENED. I NOTICED THE STALL AND LOOKED AT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, WHICH APPEARED TO BE INOPERATIVE. THEN IT 'CAME BACK TO LIFE' AND I TRIED TO ACCELERATE. THE ENGINE RESPONDED AND I KEPT DRIVING WITH NO OTHER ISSUES. *TR

MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER OCCASIONALLY "HESITATES" WHEN I ACCELERATE. THUS FAR IT HAS NOT CAUSED AN ACCIDENT, BUT CHANCES ARE GOOD THAT IT MIGHT HAPPEN ONE DAY SOON. THIS HESITATION OFTEN HAPPENS WHEN I AM TURNING AT AN INTERSECTION AND I FEAR THAT IT MAY HAPPEN WHEN I AM UNABLE TO EVADE AN ONCOMING CAR. *JB

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY AT 35 MPH WHEN SHE MADE A RIGHT HAND TURN INTO A PARKING LOT AND THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY DIED. ALL POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WERE LOST, WHICH NEARLY CAUSED HER TO WRECK INTO AN ON COMING CAR. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED AN IGNITION SWITCH AS THE ONLY PROBABLY CAUSE, BUT CAN NOT GUARANTEE THAT THIS WILL NOT OCCUR AGAIN. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS NOT A FATALITY HOWEVER THIS IS SOMETHING THAT COULD VERY EASILY LEAD TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AND THERE WAS A TOTAL LOSS OF POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED.

VEHICLE STARTS TO STALL WHILE MAKING LOW SPEED TURNS. AS SOON AS THE TURN IS COMPLETE, THE VEHICLE REGAINS ACCELERATION. *JB

UPON TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT FROM A STOP OR NEAR STOP THE ENGINE SIMPLY CUT OFF. *TR

ON THREE OCCASIONS, MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING, EACH TIME WHILE TURNING LEFT. ON ONE OCCASION, I LOST COMPLETE CONTROL OF STEERING, BRAKING AND ACCELERATING; THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO AVOID THE OTHER VEHICLES IN MY VICINITY. THE OTHER TWO TIMES I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING., BUT WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED BOTH TIMES DUE TO DRASTIC DECELERATION. I WILL BE TAKING MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE; HOWEVER I?M NOT CONFIDENT THAT THEY'LL FIND ANYTHING. FROM WHAT I'VE READ, IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT IS DIFFICULT TO REPLICATE. I HAVE 3 YOUNG CHILDREN AND NOW FEAR FOR OUR LIVES EACH DAY. I HOPE THAT JEEP WILL RECOGNIZE THIS GROWING PROBLEM AND RECALL THE VEHICLE BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS KILLED. IF I HAD THE MEANS TO BUY A NEW CAR, I WOULD IN A SECOND. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR. *TR
