STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
THE PLASTIC INSERTS THAT THE DOOR MECHANISM CONNECTS TO HAS FAILED AND BROKEN ON ALL 4 DOORS, IN THIS CASE THE DOOR OPENED ON THE HIGHWAY WITH NO INJURIES. HOWEVER WHEN I REPORTED IT TO JEEP THEY TOLD ME IT WAS DUE TO EXTREME WEAR CAUSED BY ME, IT'S ONLY ME AND MY WIFE IN OUR HOUSE NO KIDS SO THE BACK DOORS HAVE NOT BEEN USED. YET THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS. JEEP IS HAPPY TO FIX THIS AT A COST OF $2600. WHEN I DID SOME SEARCHING ONLINE, I FOUND A FEW WEBSITES DEDICATED TO THIS PROBLEM. SOMETIMES YOU CAN'T GET OUT OF THE CAR, WHAT IF THEIR WAS A FIRE? *JS

AS OF JUNE 8TH 2011 I BOUGHT MY JEEP USED WITH APPROXIMATELY 42000 MILES ON IT SOON AFTER IT STARTED HAVING FILLING ISSUES THEN FOR A WHILE THE ISSUE CEASED NOW ABOUT A MONTH BEFORE DATE OF STALL LISTED ABOVE IT STARTED WITH THE SAME FILLING ISSUES EXCEPT WORSE NOW CAUSING IT TO NOT WANT TO SHIFT INTO GEARS AS NORMAL CAR WOULD, KINDA JERKING IN BETWEEN SHIFTS FROM DIFFERENT SPEEDS AND RPM INCREASE AND DECREASE. IT HAS STALLED ON ME TWICE NOW. THE FIRST TIME ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH WITH MY 3 KIDS AND PREGNANT WIFE IN THE CAR CAUSING ALL POWER FUNCTIONS TO BE LOST AND WE ALMOST GOT RAN OVER BY A TRANSFER TRUCK TRYING TO GET TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. I HAD IT LOOK AT AND THE THROTTLE BODY AND INTAKE CLEANED OF CARBON DEPOSITED AND NOW TODAY JUNE 12TH 2012 IT STALLED AGAIN GETTING OFF THE INTERSTATE HEADING TO MY WORK. STILL FILLING HIGH AND LOW AND STALLING AND JERKING BETWEEN THE NATURAL SHIFTING OF THE TRANSMISSION. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WE BOUGHT THIS 2007 JEEP COMMANDER 2 YEARS AGO AND HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE (ESM) ALONG THE WHOLE WAY. THE VEHICLE'S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON FOLLOWED BY ALL OF THE SHIFT LOCATIONS ON THE DASH LIGHTED UP. NEXT THE SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM WARNING ON THE DASH. THE NEXT THING IS THE ENGINE BOGS DOWN AND YOU CANNOT GO OVER 20 MPH. WE PULL OFF THE ROAD AND RESTART THE ENGINE AND CONTINUE ON UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN. THIS IS A MAJOR DESIGN FLAW AS IT HAS ALMOST CAUSED 2 POTENTIALLY FATAL CAR ACCIDENTS ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY WIFE AND BABY. PLEASE TAKE CARE OF THIS ASAP AS I CANNOT AFFORD THE $1400 DOLLAR REPAIR TO FIX THE ESM THAT COULD END MY WIFE AND BABY'S LIFE. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
FRONT PASSEGER DOOR CLOSED ON MY WIFES HEEL AND SHATTERED THE DOOR HANDLE. I WAS SHOCKED THAT THE WEIGHT OF THE DOOR CLOSING ON ITSELF WOULD CAUSE THIS AND JEEP WILL NOT COVER THE COST AT $500+ A DOOR PANEL. NOW ITS BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME, ESPECIALLY IF IT HAPPENS TO ALL MY DOORS. IF WE HAD A FIRE IN THE CABIN OF THE CAR, WE WOULD BE AT SERIOUS RISK OF BURNS OR EVEN DEATH. I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THIS IS HAPPENING TOO, THERE ARE MANY COMMANDER OWNERS REPORTING THE SAME ISSUES AND SAFETY CONCERNS. SINCE JEEP IS NOT STEPPING UP TO HELP, WHAT IS THE NHTSA DOING ABOUT IT? *JS
