ENGINE
ENGINE STALLING! HI, MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER WITH 71K ON IT HAS BEEN STALLING A LOT LATELY AND THE ENGINE LIGHT GOES ON. IT STARTS RIGHT AWAY BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON. I TOOK IT TO MY DEALERSHIP & THEY REPROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER, BUT LESS THAN 50 MILES LATER IT STALLED AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY WHERE I WOULD LOSE POWER AND FIND IT HARD TO CONTROL THE CAR. I KNOW THAT A LOT OF OWNERS COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE AND THE DEALERSHIPS SEEM TO BE PUZZLED BY IT AS WELL. JEEP HAS TO FIND A SOLUTION TO THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS IN AN ACCIDENT. JEEP SHOULD ALSO COVER THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SEVERAL SERVICE COSTS. I'VE SENT THE SAME TO JEEP/CHRYSLER CORPORATION AND HAVE YET TO HEAR FROM THEM. MY CAR IS CURRENT ON ALL RECALLS ISSUED SULFER. I SUGGEST THAT JEEP BE FORCED TO BUY BACK ALL THESE COMMANDERS AND SAVE THEMSELVES A BIG HEADACHE. *TR

AS IN MANY PREVIOUS YEAR MODELS JEEP HAS ALLOWED ITS COMMANDER TO BE MANUFACTURED WITH INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ATTACHED TO VERY THIN AND BRITTLE PLASTIC DOOR PANELS. THIS ALLOWS THE DOOR HANDLES TO BREAK LOOSE FROM THE PANELS AND MAKE THE HANDLE INOPERABLE. IN ORDER TO EXIT THE VEHICLE YOU HAVE TO OPEN THE WINDOW AND USE THE OUTSIDE HANDLE. THIS CONDITION OBVIOUSLY CAN PRESENT A VERY UNSAFE SITUATION ESPECIALLY IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION . IT HAPPENS TO ALL FOUR DOORS AS TIME GOES ON SO THAT IT BECOMES DANGEROUS NOT ONLY FOR THE DRIVER BUT ALL THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE. JEEP HAS NOT FOUND IT IN THEIR BEST INTEREST TO RECOGNIZE THIS OBVIOUS DEFECT THEREFORE YOU MUST GO THRU A LONG COMPLICATED PROCEDURE TO MAKE ANY TYPE OF CLAIM WITH NO GUARANTEE OF A RESOLUTION IN YOUR FAVOR. I WOULD SUGGEST THIS CONDITION BE DETERMINED A DANGER TO THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT OR DIES BECAUSE THEY CAN'T GET OUT THE DOOR. IN READING VARIOUS COMPLAINTS AT JEEP COMMANDER.COM THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF THE SAME SCENARIOS PLAYING OUT IN THE SAME MODELS THAT JEEP MANUFACTURES. PLEASE TRY AND HELP CORRECT A SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS OVERSITE IN THE DESIGN AND PRODUCTION OF THESE VEHICLES. THANK YOU *TR

HOW MANY SPECIFIC INCIDENT REPORTS DOES THE NHTSA NEED BEFORE THEY REQUIRE CHRYSLER TO EXPLAIN THEIR FAULTY/DEFECTIVE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES? PLEASE REVIEW THE HIGH NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS THAT POINT TO FAILURE OF THE 2006 JEEP COMMANDER'S INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES AND BEGIN THE PROCESS TO REQUIRE A SAFETY RECALL. THIS IS NOT A COSMETIC ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE PLASTIC HOUSING THAT HOLDS THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES IS BRITTLE, CAUSING THE HANDLE TO BREAK, WHICH RENDERS THE HANDLE INOPERABLE (FROM THE INSIDE). OCCUPANTS REPORT HAVING TO ROLL DOWN THEIR WINDOW TO UNLATCH THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE SHEAR NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS (BOTH IN YOUR WEBSITE AND ON VARIOUS JEEP ON-LINE FORUMS) INDICATES THAT THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE THAT CAN NOT BE ATTRIBUTED TO ROUGH HANDLING. *TR

DOOR HANDLES ON JEEP COMMANDER HAVE A FACTORY DEFECT IN MANUFACTURING OF THE DOOR HANDLE CARRIER CUP ON THE INSIDE OF THE DOOR PANALS. THIS IS DUE TO A POOR PLASTIC MATRIX RESULTING IN EMBRITTLEMENT. *TR THIS RESULTS IN OCCUPANTS BEING UNABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE ON VARIOUS JEEP FORUMS AND FOUND IT TO BE A UNIVERSAL PROBLEM. IT IS TIME FOR NTHSA TO HOLD CHRYSLER RSPONSIBLE FOR THIS FLAW AND ISSUE A SAFETY RECALL. I USE THIS VEHICLE TO CARRY MY CHILDREN AND IT WILL COST OVER $2000 TO REPLACE THE 4 DOOR PANELS, THE ONLY FIX.

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
