2006 Jeep Commander complaints

VALVE SEAT DROPPED INTO ENGINE CAUSING CATOSTAPHIC FAILURE. ENGINE WILL NOT IDLE. THE ENGINE IS COMPLETELY DESTROYED. OUT OF WARRANTY. REPLACEMENT COST IS $6700.00. I WILL NEVER AGAIN BUY CHRYSLER, DODGE OR JEEP PRODUCT AGAIN. THE FAILUR HAPOENED UPON STARTUP WITH NO WARNING.

WE HAVE REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP 3 TIMES. THIS LAST TIME IT STILL DOES NOT START. THE FUEL PUMP IS GETTING POWER, WE TRACED THE POWER ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE FUEL PUMP AND IT IS GETTING POWER BUT IT IS NOT KICKING ON. WE HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR WIRING DIAGRAMS TO TRACE THE LINES BUT NO AVAIL. IF WE GET IT TO RUN IF IT GETS SHUT OFF WE CANNOT GET IT TO RESTART SOMETIMES FOR DAYS. WE HAVE DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY AT TIMES AND IT WILL START FOR A TIME OR TWO BUT IT GOES BACK TO NOT STARTING AGAIN. WITH THE AIR BAG, THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS COME ON IN THE DASH AND DOES NOT GO OUT.

THE SEAT BELTS IN MY THIRD ROW, WHICH I USE MAYBE 10% OF THE TIME ARE BROKEN. THEY BROKE WAY TOO EARLY IN MY CARS LIFE. I NEVER KNEW THAT I COULD REPORT IT UNTIL MY MECHANIC SAID TO. I CALLED JEEP TO LET THEM KNOW THAT ITS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I WOULD LIKE THEM REPLACED, AND THEY DECLINED TO DO SO. I HAVE HAD MANY JEEP NEW AND VERY OLD AND THE SEAT BELTS WERE NEVER AN ISSUE, WHICH MAKES ME THINK THESE SEAT BELTS WERE DEFECTIVE OR MAYBE THE WAY THE 3RD ROW FOLDS DOWN IS THE CAUSE.

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND CAR SHUT DOWN AS TURNING RIGHT AT STREET LIGHT. HAD TO RESTART CAR. DRIVER SIDE DOOR INTERIOR HANDLE IS BROKEN. CANNOT OPEN DOOR. DASH LIGHTS DO NOT WORK, RADIO VOLUME GOES UP AS YOU ARE TURNING THE CONTROLS DOWN. FRAME IS RUSTED...TOLD WOULD BE RUSTED THROUGH IN ANOTHER YEAR. CAR HAS 125,000 MILES ON IT. I'M THE ONLY OWNER. NORMAL DRIVING, NO OFF ROAD TRAVEL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE HESITATED AND STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE OXYGEN SENSOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED AND ALL THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MARSHALL CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (140 SPEARS LN, CRITTENDEN, KY 41030) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SPEED SENSOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER WAS IN THE PROCESS OF ATTEMPTING TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE AGAIN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 14V438000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

1ST MY CAR HAS BEEN HAVING STARTING ISSUES. THE FUEL PUMP WAS CHANGED TWICE AND THAT'S NOT THE ISSUE.IT SEEMS TO BE COMING FROM THE WIRING HEADING INTO THE FUSE PANEL IN THE ENGINE. WHEN I MOVE IT AROUND IT STARTS SOMETIMES. AND ALSO WHEN I PUT BLACK TAPE AROUND THE WIRES IT SEEMS TO CORRECT THE ISSUES FOR WEEKS AT A TIME. THE PROBLEM IS U NEVER KNOW WHEN ITS GONNA START OR NOT. NOW MY ENGINE, TRACTION CONTROL AND ESP/BAS WARNING LIGHTS ARE COMING ON. WHEN THAT HAPPENS THE TRANSMISSION STARTS GOING HAYWIRE AND FEELS LIKE ITS ONLY RUNNING ON 1 GEAR PLUS WHEN I REVERSE IT FEELS LIKE SOMETHING GRINDS IN THE GEARS. HOWEVER WHEN THOSE WARNING LIGHTS GO OFF EVERYTHING SEEMS TO GO BACK TO NORMAL. RECENTLY ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP WARNING CAME ON AND MY AC STOPPED BLOWING COLD AIR AND SHORTLY AFTER THE CAR STALLED IN TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY. THANK GOD I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT BUT THEN IT FELT LIKE THE CAR DROVE ALL THE WAY HOME USING 2ND GEAR ONLY IN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. FROM READING OTHER ISSUES PEOPLE ARE HAVING ONLINE ITS OBVIOUS THIS MODEL IS HAVING MAJOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES THAT NO ONE SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO CORRECT. I AM A JEEP LOVER BUT THIS MODEL HAS COMPLETELY MADE IT DIFFICULT ON ME SINCE ITS MY ONLY CAR AND ITS SO UNRELIABLE. I DON'T HAVE THE MEANS TO REPLACE IT RIGHT NOW SO THIS SITUATION HAS BEEN UNFORTUNATE FOR ME

THE GEAR INDICATOR HAS THE PRND AND IT INDICATES WHAT GEAR YOU ARE IN. WHEN YOU TRY TO DRIVE THE CAR IT INDICATES THAT IT IS IN ALL GEARS. WHEN IT DOES THIS IT STUMBLES REALLY BADLY. YOU HAVE TO PUT IT BACK TO DRIVE TO DRIVE NORMAL. IT CAN HAPPEN ABOUT 3 TIMES A DAY. RIGHT AFTER IT HAPPENS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON FOR ABOUT 3 DAYS. I HAVE SEARCHED ONLINE AND AT LEAST 50 OTHER PEOPLE WITH A 2006/2007 JEEP COMMANDER HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. SOME PEOPLE SAY IT HAPPENS TO THEM (ALL GEARS LIGHT UP) WHILE THEY ARE DRIVING. THIS CAUSES THEIR VEHICLE TO NOT ACCELERATE OR "JERK" BACK AND FORTH. THEY HAVE TO PULL OVER AND START THE CAR AGAIN AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS UP. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I WARM IT UP FOR OVER 10 MINUTES IT WILL STILL DO IT WHEN I PUT IT ON REVERSE OR DRIVE. I AM WORRIED IT WILL GET WORSE AND HAPPEN LIKE THE OTHER PEOPLE ONLINE WHEN I'M DRIVING OR ON THE FREEWAY. ONLINE MANY PEOPLE WRITE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WITH THEIR 2006/2007 JEEP COMMANDER. MANY DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS.

MY CAR STALLS WHILE TURNING OR IDLING AT STOP LIGHTS. I KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS HOWEVER THE DEALERSHIP SAYS MY VIN ISN'T INCLUDED HOWEVER IT HAS STALLED 10 TIMES THIS MONTH.

I HAVE EXPERIENCED ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS INCLUDING TODAY WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE LOOSES POWER SOUNDS AS IF MY TRANSMISSION IS NOT SHIFTING OR THE GEAR SHIFT WILL NOT SHIFT . AFTER I CUT THE OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES THEN I CAN SHIFT MY VEHICLE FROM PARK TO DRIVE WITHOUT A LOUD SCREECHING SOUND. TODAY, I HAD TO USE MY EMERGENCY BRAKES JUST TO KEEP MY VEHICLE STILL AFTER I PUT IT IN PARK. SEEMS AS THOUGH THE VEHICLE SHIFTS INTO ANOTHER GEAR AND GETS STUCK UNTIL I CUT MY VEHICLE OFF. I BELIEVE IT MAY BE THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE OR TRANSFER CASE ISSUE. I KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE FOR THE TCM BUT I DIDN'T HAVE IT DONE. I NEED HELP, THIS IS GETTING TO SCARY, CONSTANTLY PAYING FOR A VEHICLE AND CALL THE MANUFACTURER AND NOBODY WANTS TO DO ANYTHING.

ALL DOOR HANDLES ARE BROKEN AND HAVE BECOME IN OPERABLE FROM THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. ALSO WHEN STARTING THE JEEP IT WILL RUN FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN SHUT OFF. AFTER STARTING YOU CAN SHIFT TO DRIVE AND IT PUTS YOU IN DRIVE 3 THEM IT WILL QUIT. WHEN U START AND IT SHIFT INTO DRIVE THE JEEP WILL REMAIN RUNNING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THREE UNKNOWN DEALERS, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN IGNITION SWITCH RECALL REPAIR PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE. DIRECTLY AFTER THE REPAIR, THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED THE FAILURE. THE RECALL DETAILS WERE NOT PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 153,000.

THE VEHICLE CRUISE CONTROL MALFUNCTIONS: NOW EVEN PRESSING "SET" AT LEAST WHILE DRIVING OVER 40 MPH MAKES THE VEHICLE ACCELERATE FAST EVEN TO 80 MPH SO I PRESS BRAKE PEDAL WHICH DOES DISENGAGE CRUISE CONTROL. EVEN IF YOU TURN CRUISE CONTROL OFF AND THEN BACK ON IT KEEPS ON HAPPENING EVERY TIME YOU PRESS SET. I DISCONNECTED POWER TO THE CRUISE CONTROL.

AFTER HAVING THE RECALLED IGNITION AND TCM REPLACED/REPROGRAMMED THE ESP,BAS AND TRACTION LIGHTS COME AND THE TWO DRIVER SIDE BRAKES AND TIRES LOCK UP, MAKES A TERRIBLE GRINDING NOISE, AND THE VEHICLE SLIDES WHILE TRYING TO MAKE A TURN. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND WITHOUT WARNING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V438000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE MANUFACTURER REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE NEAREST DEALER. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

CHRYSLER JEEP ,MY WIFE AND I ARE DIE HARD JEEP CUSTOMERS. OUR 06 COMMANDER IS A SAFETY PROBLEM!! ALL INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ARE BROKE. THE REAR INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES WILL NOT OPEN THE DOORS AT ALL. MAKING IT UNSAFE FOR ANY PASSENGERS,ESPECIALLY OUR CHILDREN.HELP ME MAKE OUR 06 JEEP COMMANDER SAFE AGAIN RECALL THESE HANDLES FOR PUBLIC SAFETY.......

I DRIVE AND STOP THE JEEP. WHEN I TURN IT ON AND PUT IT ON DIRECT IT SHIFTS TO 3RD GEAR AUTOMATICALLY. I HAVE TO TURN OFF THE JEEP, DISCONNECT THE BATTERY IN ORDER TO DRIVE. AND THIS HAPPENS OVER AND OVER AGAIN. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND NO CODE WAS REVEALED AND THEY COULDN'T FIX. TOOK IT TO OTHER AUTO PARTS AND THE SAME RESULT CAME OUT WHEN THE HOOK IT UP TO THE COMPUTER. NO CODE. I HAVE FOUND THIS EXACT PROBLEM MENTIONED ON MULTIPLE JEEP FORUM SITES MENTIONING CODE P0700 TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM. THIS IS MALFUNCTIONING IN A UNSAFE MANNER AND I WAS TOLD IT HASN'T BEEN RECALLED YET. DON'T YOU HAVE ENOUGH COMPLAINTS ON THIS THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD BE DOING A RECALL?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE'S POWER FAILED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC MORE THAN TWICE AND THEY HAD BEEN UNABLE TO REPLICATE AND DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

WHILE DRIVING THE SERVICE REAR PARK ASSIST MESSAGE CAME ON AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN THIS HAPPENS ALL THE LIGHTS AROUND THE TRANSMISSION LETTERS ON THE DASHBOARD START TO FLASH AND THE TRANSMISSION STARTS TO SLIP. THIS HAPPENS WHEN YOU ACCELERATE. HAVE HAD VEHICLE AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR 3 WEEKS NOW AND HAVE HAD NO SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM . AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT TRANSMISSION SLIPPING WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC.

MY JEEP COMMANDER WILL START ACCELERATING EXCESSIVELY AND WILL NOT STOP UNTIL I DISABLE THE CRUISE CONTROL. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I HAD TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES AND GO INTO THE DITCH JUST TO AVOID A CAR.

OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS,ALL FOUR INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES HAVE BROKEN. THE DAMAGE OCCURRED WITH NOTHING MORE THAN NORMAL USAGE. THE BREAKAGE HAS LEFT ALL DOORS INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT TO OPEN. THIS BREAKAGE COULD SLOW AN OCCUPANTS ABILITY TO EXIT THE VEHICLE IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER OWNERS OF JEEPS COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUE. I FEEL JEEP SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF THIS APPARENT DESIGN FLAW AND OWNERS SHOULD BE PROVIDED COMPENSATION FOR THE REPAIR.

MY JEEP DIDN'T PULL CORRECTLY, IT BACK FIRE AND WIND. WE TOOK IT TO CHRYSLER TO GET IT FIX. THE MECHANIC TOLD US THAT THE SOLENOID WENT BAD... SO WERE CHARGED $405 FOR A CONVERTER, $357 FOR A SOLENOID, $7.75 FOR A SEALER, AND $3.60 FOR A NUT NONE... TOTAL LABOR AND PARTS $1930.31... TODAY WE GO TO PICK IT UP, AND IT STILL MAKES THE SAME NOISE AND THE PROBLEM WORSEN. WE LEFT IT THERE TO BE FIXED AGAIN... AT THE MOMENT WE ARE OUT OF $2000, NO CAR, AND THEN HAD THE NERVE TO TELL ME IT WAS SOMETHING ELSE WRONG WITH MY CAR AND IT'LL BE $800 MORE TO FIX IT. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I TOLD THEM I WANTED TO SPEAK WITH THE OWNER, HE SAID HE'LL CALL ME BACK.. NOT EVEN TWO MINUTES LATER, HE GOES... "WE'LL TAKE CARE OF IT...

ON CHRISTMAS I BACKED THE JEEP OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY SO I COULD DRIVE MY TRUCK. BUMPED THE CURB SLIGHTLY WHILE PARKING AND VEHICLE DIED. STARTED RIGHT BACK UP SO I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT. TODAY MY WIFE TOOK THE KIDS TO SCHOOL IN IT AND RAN FINE. PARKED FOR TWO HOURS AND WENT TO START AND IT WILL CRANK BUT NOT TURN OVER. FUEL GAUGE DOESN'T READ CORRECTLY. AT FULL IT SAYS HALF A TANK AND WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING IT MAY DROP TO BELOW EMPTY WITH A FULL TANK. I HAVE BEEN READING ALL THE REPORTS ABOUT THE 2006 COMMANDER AND A LOT OF PEOPLE SEEM TO BE HAVING THIS STARTING PROBLEM. I HAUL MY FAMILY AROUND IN IT BECAUSE WE CAN'T ALL FIT IN MY TRUCK BUT I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN IT BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S GONNA CUT OUT AND DIE. MY KIDS RANGE FROM 1 WEEK TO 11 AND I DON'T REALLY WANT THEM IN IT. I'M THINKING IT A FUEL PUMP OR WIRING ISSUE. BOTH ISSUES OCCURRED IN MY DRIVEWAY OR RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE. *TR

PROBLEM WITH IGNITION SWITCH CAUSES DASH NOT TO WORK AND CAR NOT TO BE ABLE TO START MOST OF TIME. KEY DOES NOT STAY IN PROPER POSITION IN IGNITION. VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND IN MOTION WHEN THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS. *TR

AFTER DRIVING FOR SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME ( 15-20 MINUTES) THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO LAG INTO SHIFTING. THERE IS ALSO A PROBLEM WHEN TRYING TO MANUALLY SHIFT GEARS. TRIED SHIFTING INTO LOW GEAR AT STOP LIGHT, AND THE INDICATOR ON THE DASH STAYS IN ' D' AND WILL NOT ENGAGE IN OTHER LOWER GEARS. IT ALSO APPEARS TO LAG WHEN TRAVELING AT A STEAD SPEED, ABOUT 30-45 MILES PER HOUR.

2006 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4 DIES AT LOW SPEED. ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENT ON FREEWAY. HAD THE IGNITION RECALL TAKEN CARE OF. HOPING THAT IT WAS THE PROBLEM. IT WAS NOT... NOW TRYING TO SELL VEHICLE AND DON'T WANT TO CUZ I WOULD HAVE TO HAVE SOMEONE ELSE GET HURT. IN THAT DEATH TRAP THE JEEP NOW SITS IN MY SIDE YARD MY WIFE REFUSES TO DRIVE IT. I'M LOOKING FOR ANY IDEAS ON WHAT TO DO? PLEASE HELP

MY VEHICLE STALLS AND CUTS OFF WHEN STOPPED AT STOP SIGNS AND TRAFFIC LIGHTS. THE ENGINE ALSO SHAKES AND ACTS AS IF IT WANTS TO DIE WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR RECALLS AFTER I LEFT THE SERVICE CENTER IT ONCE AGAIN CUT OFF AT THE FIRST STOP LIGHT I CAME TO. *TR

FOR THE PASSED 3 YEARS OUR VEHICLE HAS SWITCHED GEARS FROM DRIVE TO 3RD GEAR, WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE JOLTS AND CHANGES GEAR FOR A FEW MONTHS AND RETURNS BACK TO NORMAL. WE CONTINUE TO USE IT AT 3RD GEAR. THERE IS NO WAY TO CHANGE IT BACK TO DRIVE MANUALLY. WE'VE TAKEN IT IN TO AUTO SHOPS AND THE SYMPTOMS RETURN. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 1ST NEW CAR EVER HOPING TO KEEP IT FOREVER. I TREAT IT VERY WELL ALL SERVICES DONE ON TIME AND WITH TOP QUALITY PRODUCT. AT 105,000 MILES MY VALVE DROPPED IN THE ENGINE RUINING THE COMPLETE BLOCK. THIS HAPPENED IN MY DRIVEWAY AS I STARTED IT TO LEAVE. COSTING ME 8,278.40 TO REPLACE MY ENGINE. AFTER THIS I HAVE LEARNED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM TO WHICH CHRYSLER HAS YET TO ADMIT FAULT! I WILL HOLD OUT HOPE AND KEEP PAYING THAT ENGINE BILL FINGERS CROSSED SOMEDAY THEY WILL COMPINCATE ME.

TRANMISSIOM GOING OUT. GEAR NOT SHIFTING INTO DRIVE.

THE VEHICLE STALLS IN MOTION ON BOTH RESIDENTIAL AND HIGHWAY AND LOSES POWER STEERING. CRUISE CONTROL ONCE YOU SET IT ACCELERATION OCCURS ON ITS OWN THIS OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY. IGNITION BUMPS OUT OF THE ON POSITION INTO ACCESSORY OR OFF ON IT'S OWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, ALL THE INTERNAL DOOR HANDLES FRACTURED. THE CONTACT HAD TO ROLL THE WINDOWS DOWN IN ORDER TO OPEN THE DOORS FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DOOR PANELS AND LATCHES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWO TIMES AND THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V438000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 180,588.

TAKATA RECALL THE MOTOR KEEPS DYING WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC THAT TOLD ME THAT THE MOTOR WAS DEFECTIVE AND THE MOTOR HAS TO BE REPLACED. THE ENGINE ONLY HAS LESS THAN 85000 MILES. THE MECHANIC TOLD US TO BUY A JASPER MOTOR BECAUSE JASPER MADE CHANGES TO THE MOTOR BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL MOTOR WAS DEFECTIVE. MOPAR NO LONGER MAKES THE MOTOR AND REFERRED US TO AN AER MOTOR. THE PARTS DEPARTMENT AT CHRYSLER SAID THAT THEY ARE NOT SURE OR NOT IF THE ORIGINAL MOPAR MOTOR HAS MADE THE SAME CHANGES TO THE MOTOR THAT JASPER HAS MADE. JASPER STATES THAT CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE MOTOR AND SPECIFICALLY STATES THAT IMPROVEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE TO SOLVE THE DEFECTIVE ISSUES OF AN ORIGINAL 2006 MOTOR. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE IT HAS HAPPENED TO. MOTORS WERE BEING REPLACED AT 75,000 MILES ARE A COMMON PROBLEM ACCORDING TO GOOGLE ON THIS MODEL. *TR

MY CAR WILL NOT START. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE, AND THERE HAS BEEN NO EXPLANATION AS TO WHY THIS HAPPENS.

VEHICLE STALLS FOR NO REASON. USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN PULLING FROM MY DRIVEWAY AFTER BEING PARKED. AFTER DRIVING FOR A FEW HUNDRED YARDS, TO THE INTERSECTION OF THE MAIN ROAD. UPON HITTING THE BRAKE AND STOPPING, THE VEHICLE STALLED. IF I HAD ROLLED INTO THE INTERSECTION, I WOULD HAVE BEEN RIGHT ON A MAIN ROAD WITHOUT ENGINE RUNNING. NO WARNING, IT JUST STALLS. I HAD THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE THE IGNITION SWITCH, BUT THAT WAS REPLACED ALREADY, AND THIS HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS ALMOST IN THE SAME PLACE AND SITUATIONS EVERY TIME. I START THE VEHICLE, AND WITHOUT MUCH DELAY, BACK OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. PULL DOWN THE STREET, MAKE A RIGHT TURN AFTER ABOUT 40 YARDS. MAKE A LEFT TURN AFTER ABOUT 100 YARDS. THEN MOVE FORWARD TO THE STOP SIGN AT THE MAIN INTERSECTION ABOUT 80 YARDS FURTHER. UPON STOPPING, THE VEHICLE STALLS. IT'S HAPPENED ABOUT 10 TIMES IN THE PAST 3 YEARS, AND TWICE IN THE PAST WEEK. IT SURELY IS A DANGER, BECAUSE I LOSE POWER AND COULD ROLL INTO AN INTERSECTION OR CAUSE ANOTHER HAZARD.

REAR SEATBELT LATCHES ARE BREAKING, AND SUSCEPTIBLE TO BREAKAGE. THE ORANGE RELEASE BUTTON ON THE SEATBELTS BREAK EASILY. MY CONCERN IS THAT IT WILL HAPPEN WHEN THERE'S AN EMERGENCY AND THE OCCUPANT MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE DEFECTIVE MATERIAL IN THE LATCH RELEASE, POSSIBLY TRAPPING THE OCCUPANT. I SUSPECT THAT THE MATERIAL USED FOR THESE PLASTIC RELEASE LATCHES WAS INCORRECTLY SPECIFIED, AND BECAME BRITTLE OVER TIME.

I WENT TO START MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER AND IT WOULD TURN OVER, BUT IT WOULD NOT START. I FINALLY WORKED WITH IT A LITTLE BIT AND GOT IT TO START, BUT THEN MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT. I CUT IT OFF AND TRIED IT AGAIN AND EVERYTHING WENT BACK TO NORMAL. HOWEVER, WHEN I GOT GOING, THERE WAS A HORRIBLE GAS SMELL COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THIS STARTING ISSUE HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND EVERY TIME THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT A PUBLIC PLACE AFTER IT HAD BEEN RUNNING FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES.

SEAT BELT WARNING CHIME CONTINUALLY SOUNDS WHEN FRONT DRIVER OR PASSENGER SEAT BELTS ARE LATCHED, THE SEATS ARE OCCUPIED, AND THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.

WE HAVE A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER AND IT SOMETIMES JERKS BACK AND FORTH WHILE DRIVING SOMETIMES IT EVEN SHIFTS INTO NEUTRAL AND THEN BACK TO DRIVE THE POWER STEERING WORKS ONLY PART OF THE TIME AND THE AIRBAG SYSTEM SAYS ITS OFF ALL THE TIME AND IT WILL SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING SOMETIMES TOO REALLY FRUSTRATED WITH THIS VEHICLE ITS A DISASTER AND WAITING TO HAPPEN

WHEN I AM DRIVING ON THE MAIN CITY ROAD OR HIGHWAY I NOTICE ABOUT THREE THINGS THAT HAPPEN ALL AT ONCE. THE FIRST THING IS I LOSE CONTROL OF MY STEERING. THE SECOND THING IS IT FEELS LIKE MY JEEP WENT INTO PARK CAUSING ALL MY WHEELS TO BREAK FOR 1 TO 3 SECOND. THE THIRD THING IS IT FEELS AS THE ENGINE STALLED. ALL THESE THINGS HAPPEN AT THE SAME TIME. THIS CAUSES MY JEEP TO STOP OR STALL ON THE ROAD SENDING ME AND MY PASSENGERS TO LOUNGE FORWARD AS IF I HAD HIT AN INVISIBLE WALL AT FULL FORCE.

REPLACED BEZEL GEAR SELECTOR 3 TIMES SINCE 2006. AS OF SEPTEMBER 2016 A 4TH REPLACEMENT IS REQUIRED PER GOLLING CHRYSLER. VEHICLE ATTEMPTS TO STALL AFTER 1-2 SECONDS WHEN STARTING FROM A STOPPED POSITION. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATES AND A SERVICE MESSAGE APPEARS STATING "SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM." SEVERAL TIMES FROM 2006 - 2016 THE VEHICLE ALMOST STALLED WHEN ENTERING INTERSECTIONS OF CITY STREETS. WHENEVER CONDITION OCCURED THE PART WAS REPLACED (3 TIMES). PART CAUSING THE CONDITIONS IS PART# CH68004143-AF PRNDL BEZEL GEAR SELECTOR AND CH52108308-AC CONNECTOR ELECTRICAL (TRANSMISSION). I BELIEVE THE GEAR SELECTOR AND TRANSMISSION TO BE DEFECTIVE DUE TO THE FREQUENT FAILURE WHICH COULD CAUSE A SAFETY INCIDENT.

INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE PLASTIC HOUSING BROKE ON TWO OF FOUR DOORS, THE DRIVER FRONT AND PASSENGER REAR. THE DRIVE SIDE CRACKED WHEN I OPENED IT. THE PASSENGER REAR BROKE IN HALF WHEN MY 5 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER OPENED THE DOOR. THIS IS NOW A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE DOOR IS VERY HARD TO OPEN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE STALLED AFTER IT WAS STARTED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSFER ACTUATOR, NUID PUMP, AND PURGE SOLENOID NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

THIS RECALL HAS BEEN SINCE 2014. I AM A LITTLE AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS JEEP FOR FEAR IT WILL QUIT WHILE DRIVING. OTHER PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY HAD AN ACCIDENT SO HOW LONG DO WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR A FIX. IT CAN ALSO CAUSE THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY SO THAT'S A REAL PROBLEM. EITHER FIX WHAT U HAVE INSTEAD OF MAKING MORE VEHICLE OR BUY THEM BACK

2006 JEEP COMMANDER RANDOMLY WILL NOT START. BATTERY TESTS FINE...TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND PAID OVER $400 AND THE REPLACED THE STARTER AND YELLOW SOLINOID CABLE WHICH BRINGS POWER TO THE STARTER. STILL WILL NOT START OCCASIONALLY. THE DASH LIGHTS UP, BUT THE ENGINE DOESN'T TURN OVER...WAIT 5 MINUTES AND IT MAY START AT OTHER TIMES IT WON'T. VERY FRUSTRATING, BECAUSE IT IS RANDOM...MAY GO A WEEK STARTING FINE, AND THEN SUDDENLY IT WON'T START. SOMETIMES THIS HAPPENS FIRST THING IN THE MORNING, SOMETIMES ONLY AFTER SHORT 5 MINUTE TRIPS TO THE STORE, AND SOMETIMES AFTER LONG TRIPS. ALSO, I ALREADY HAD THE IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED DUE TO RECALL.

JUST PURCHASED, CAR FAX SHOWS OPEN RECALL.

UNKNOWN REASON FOR LOST OF MOTOR OIL, NO OBSERVED SOURCE OF A LEAK.
