ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I OWN A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. IT STARTED STALLING ON ME IN FEB OR 07. SINCE THEN IT HAS STALLED 20 TIMES OR MORE. IT WAS AT THE DEALERS MANY OF TIME WITH ME IN A RENTAL CAR FOR PERIODS OF OVER 2 MONTHS AT A TIME. THEY HAVE YET TO FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS WITH MY JEEP. IT WAS LABELED A LEMON BY CHRYSLER BUT THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME AN OUTRAGEOUS AMOUNT FOR USE ON THE CAR. I DON'T FEEL FOR SAFETY REASONS THIS CAR SHOULD EVEN BE ON THE ROAD. I HAVE TOLD CHRYSLER IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO ME OR MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR WHEN IT STALLS THEY ARE 100% LIABLE. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE. IT WILL STALL JUST DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I HAVE HAD MY STALL WITH NO WARNING ON ARE LOCAL HWY HERE I90. VERY UNSAFE THIS AUTO IS. I WANT MY MONEY BACK OR A REPLACEMENT WITH OUT ALL THE PENALTIES. THIS IS JUST STUPID I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS SINCE FEB 07 AND I AM TIRED OF IT. I BOUGHT THE CAR TO DRIVE NOT HAVE IT IN THE SHOP BE MAKING THE PAYMENTS ON IT AND WHEN I DO HAVE IT FEAR FOR MY FAMILY'S AND MY OWN SAFETY IN THE CAR. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, STEERING, AIR BAGS
SINCE THE BEGINNING OF OWNERSHIP, THIS CAR HAS STALLED MANY TIMES (AS WELL AS OTHER VARIOUS AND ODD ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS.) MANY TIMES I CAN TURN THE CAR OFF AND ON AND IT WILL RESTART. THIS DOES HAPPEN IN PARKING LOTS AND HIGHWAY SPEEDS AS WELL. I HAVE ALSO LOST POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WHEN IN PARKING LOTS AT A VERY SLOW ACCELERATION SPEED. I HAVE ALSO HAD AIR BAG WARNING LIGHTS GO ON AND STAY ON THEN RANDOMLY SHUT OFF. THE DEALER HAS TRIED TO HELP RESOLVE BUT IS LIMITED BY CHRYSLER'S ABILITY TO RECOGNIZE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. IF THERE IS NO CODE IN THE CARS COMPUTER, THERE IS NO PROBLEM AND CAN'T BE DUPLICATED. IF THE PROBLEM CAN'T BE DUPLICATED, THERE IS NO REPAIR. BUT IT KEEPS HAPPENING OVER AND OVER. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH CHRYSLER WITH NO RESOLVE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS HAD MY CAR AND DROVE IT FOR 3 WEEKS TO TRY TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. SINCE IT IS SO RANDOM AND THEY JUST DIDN'T GET ENOUGH TIME/MILES IN, THE PROBLEM DIDN'T HAPPEN. IT STALLED AGAIN ABOUT 3 WEEKS AFTER THAT PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. THERE HAS BEEN NO REPAIR, BECAUSE CHRYSLER SAYS THERE IS NO PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WITH A 15 YEAR OLD ON A PERMIT DRIVING WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR SINCE MARCH 2006 AND THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING MANY TIMES REPEATEDLY SINCE THEN. NOT ALL HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED AND BECAUSE IT OCCASIONALLY HAPPENS ON WEEKENDS OR HOLIDAYS, I HAVE NO ABILITY TO GET IT IN TO A DEALERSHIP. IN ORDER FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO READ A CODE, I WOULD HAVE TO LEAVE THE CAR IN A STALLED POSITION WHEREVER IT OCCURRED AND HAVE IT TOWED DIRECTLY TO THE DEALER. THIS IS HIGHLY IMPRACTICAL AND UNSAFE. ESPECIALLY SCARY AT HIGH SPEEDS ON THE HIGHWAY. I DO NOT WANT TO BE A CASUALTY OF CHRYSLER'S FAILURE TO RECOGNIZE THAT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF THESE VEHICLES OUT THERE DOING THIS EXACT SAME THING. DO A "GOOGLE" SEARCH SEE THE #'S! SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE!!! *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT ON 4 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS OVER A PERIOD OF 2 WEEKS, THE VEHICLE LOST TOTAL ELECTRICAL POWER AND ENGINE SHUT OFF BY IT SELF. THE 2006 JEEP COMMANDER RESTARTED IMMEDIATELY AFTER PUTTING IN PARK AND TURNING IGNITION. THE JEEP WAS BROUGHT INTO THE JEEP SERVICE CENTER ON 9-11-2007. SERVICE TECH SAID THAT THEY HAD SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH ANOTHER JEEP COMMANDER IN THE SERVICE CENTER AND COULD NOT FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. PER THE SERVICE TECH NO ERROR MESSAGES WERE REPORTED. THEY CALLED CHRYSLER WHO TOLD THEM TO DO A PCM REFLASH INSTALL PER STAR. THE CAR HAS STALLED AGAIN SINCE THEN. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
MY WIFE'S JEEP COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHILE GOING 45 MILES AN HOUR AND SHE WENT OFF OF THE ROAD. THIS HAPPENED LESS THAN A MONTH AFTER WE TOOK IT TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP TO HAVE FIXED. THEY SAID AS IM SURE EVERY ONE WHO HAS PUT IN AN APPARENT USELESS COMPLAINT THAT " NO ERRORS ARE COMING UP AND THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE A PROBLEM. " WHAT BOTHERS ME THE MOST ABOUT THIS IS THAT JEEP HAS NOT ISSUED ANY STATEMENT AFTER THE COUNTLESS COMPLAINTS KEEP FILING IN. JUST BECAUSE NO ERROR MESSAGE IS COMING UP WHEN IT IS PLUGGED IN DOESN'T MEAN THESE HUNDREDS OF JEEP COMMANDER OWNERS ARE LYING ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING. I HAVE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT TOMORROW. THIS EXERCISE IS GETTING OLD . IT SHOULD NOT HAVE TO TAKE A DEATH FROM SOME ONE DRIVING THESE VEHICLES TO HAVE CHRYSLER DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS . I HAVE READ MANY OF THESE COMPLAINTS THAT OTHER CONCERNED DRIVERS HAVE PUT IN. APPARENTLY THIS SITE DOESN'T GET CHRSLERS ATTENTION . *JB

MY HUSBAND AND I FINANCED A USED 2006 JEEP COMMANDER WHILE HE WAS HOME ON 2 WEEKS OF LEAVE FROM AND 18 MONTH TOUR IN AFGHANISTAN. ABOUT A WEEK AFTER WE TOOK THE CAR HOME IT STALLED OUT FOR THE FIRST TIME. A WEEK AFTER THAT IT DID IT AGAIN AND WE IMMEDIATELY PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND TOOK IT TO THE CLOSEST DEALER WHICH WAS LUCKILY LESS THAN 2 MILES DOWN THE ROAD. HE HOOKED IT UP TO DIAGNOSTICS AND TOLD US SOMETHING ABOUT THE COMPUTER RECORDING A FREAK READING OF BAROMETRIC PRESSURE WHICH IS WHAT MADE THE CAR SHUT OFF AND THAT IT SHOULDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. AFTER MY HUSBAND RETURNED TO AFGHANISTAN TO FIGHT TERRORISM FOR THE US ARMY I WAS DRIVING HOME AFTER DARK FROM OUT OF TOWN AND MY HEADLIGHTS STARTED TO FLICKER...THE FREQUENCY OF THIS KEPT INCREASING AND EACH TIME THIS HAPPENED THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WOULD ALSO FLICKER AND IT BECAME INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT TO HAVE THE LIGHTS COME BACK ON. LUCKILY I GOT HOME BEFORE THEY QUIT WORKING COMPLETELY. TODAY, I WAS AT THE END OF A DRIVE TO VISIT FAMILY AND THE CAR STALLED FOR THE THIRD TIME IN LESS THAN A MONTH! I LOST BRAKES, STEERING, LIGHTS, AC, AND RADIO. TRAFFIC WAS HEAVY AND I NARROWLY AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT!!!! AFTER ABOUT A MINUTE, I WAS ABLE TO POP THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND GET IT STARTED AGAIN. THANK GOD MY TWO CHILDREN WERE NOT IN THE CAR! I GOT TO MY RELATIVES HOUSE AND BEGAN RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET, SOMETHING WE WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF WHEN BUYING THE VEHICLE. THE FACT THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO HUNDREDS OF OTHER FAMILIES MAKES ME LIVID. MY HUSBAND IS GETTING SHOT AT EVERYDAY FOR HIS COUNTRY AND ITS OKAY FOR AN AMERICAN MANUFACTURER TO SELL FAULTY VEHICLES TO PEOPLE?!?!?! *JB

SINCE PURCHASING OUR COMMANDER IN EARLY 2006, WE HAVE EXPERIENCED NO LESS THAN 12 INCIDENTS OF STALLING. THE VEHICLE STALLED AT A COMPLETE STOP, AS WELL AS WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 50-65 MPM. WE ALSO HAVE EXPERIENCED EXTREMELY SLUGGISH ACCELERATION AT HIGHWAY SPEED, BOTH SITUATIONS PLACING US AT IN DANGER OF A COLLISION. FINALLY, WHEN CONDUCTING HARD TURNS (SIMILAR TO A U-TURN), THE ENGINE WILL SPUTTER AND BARELY ACCELERATE IN TRAFFIC SITUATIONS, SEVERAL TIMES NEARLY RESULTING IN A COLLISION. *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER V8 HAS STALLED 4 TIMES SINCE BUYING IT IN APRIL OF 2007. THE FIRST TIME WAS WHEN I WAS BACKING UP IN REVERSE IN MY DRIVEWAY. THE SECOND TIME A FEW MONTHS LATER, AFTER BACKING UP, PUT THE JEEP IN DRIVE AND IT STALLED. THE THIRD TIME WAS IN AUGUST, I HAD BACKED UP IN MY PARKING LOT AT WORK PUT THE JEEP IN DRIVE AND WAS GOING ABOUT 15 MPH AND THE JEEP STALLED. THE LAST TIME WAS AUGUST 28, 2007, I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN INTO MCDONALD'S WITH MY 8 MONTH OLD, 6+7 YEAR OLD CHILDREN AS WELL AS BEING 5 MONTHS PREGNANT, THE JEEP STALLED, I LOST MY BRAKES AND POWER STEERING WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC HEADING TOWARDS ME. IT TOOK I MY STRENGTH TO TURN THE WHEEL TP GET OUT OF THE ROAD. I HAVE HAD THE JEEP TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THIS LOOKED AT 3 TIMES. THE LAST IN AUGUST BEFORE THE 4TH EPISODE. THEY HAD MY JEEP FOR 4 DAYS AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. I HAVE CALLED JEEP AND MADE A COMPLAINT. THEIR RESPONSE WAS TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED AND FEEL UNSAFE WITH MY CHILDREN IN THIS VEHICLE AND NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE OR WANT TO HELP. AFTER LOOKING AT THIS LIST OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEBSITE ON 2006 JEEP COMMANDERS STALLING, SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
WHILE DRIVING MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER IN A VERY CROWDED PARKING LOT, IT COMPLETELY STALLED WITHOUT WARNING!! THE CAR BEHIND ME HAD TO MAKE A VERY SUDDEN STOP TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WENT OUT AND I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTART IT. THIS SAME THING OCCURRED WHEN MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING IT APPROX. ONE MONTH AGO, BUT WE WRONGLY ATTRIBUTED IT TO THE CAR HAVING ONLY A QUARTER TANK OF GAS IN IT AT THE TIME. I HAVE 8 YEAR OLD TRIPLETS THAT DEPEND ON THIS CAR DAILY AND I WILL NOT PUT THEIR SAFETY AT RISK!! PLEASE HELP US SCARED COMMANDER OWNERS TO MAKE CHRYSLER DO THE RIGHT THING BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR EVEN KILLED. THANK YOU. *JB

I JUST LEASED A 2007 JEEP CHEROKEE IN MARCH OF '07. AND, IT DRIVES WONDERFULLY! HOWEVER, I'VE NOTICED A FEW (GLITCHES) CONCERNS LATELY WITH THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE MAJOR LEAKS IN MY SIDE RAILS RIGHT ABOVE THE DASHBOARD WHEN IT RAINS. I BELIEVE THIS IS BECAUSE OF HOW THE INSULATION WAS DONE ON THE ACTUAL ROOF AS WELL AS THE DOORS. I'VE ALSO NOTICED MY PASSENGER WINDOW STICKING WHILE LOWERING THE WINDOW OR RAISING THE WINDOW. AND, MY WINDSHIELD SEEMS TO BE GLISTENING NOW -- I'M THINKING THAT THOSE GLISTENING SMALL CRACKS WILL TRULY TURN INTO MAJOR PROBLEMS LONG-TERM! I AM CURRENTLY LEASING AND WAS SERIOUSLY DECIDING TO PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE. BUT, WITH MY CONCERNS LISTED I'M NOT SURE HOW LONG THIS JEEP COMMANDER WILL LAST ME FINANCIALLY. HOPEFULLY THESE PROBLEMS WILL BE RECALLED AND MAYBE MY DECISION TO PURCHASE WILL CHANGE. I'M SURE THAT THESE PROBLEMS ARE NOT JUST AFFECTING ME. WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS. HOPEFULLY YOU CAN HELP! HAVE A NICE DAY!! *TR
