UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE VEHICLE DOOR HANDLES DO NOT FUNCTION ON ANY OF THE FOUR DOORS. THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME DEFECT AND THE ONLY WAY TO EXIT THE VEHICLE IS TO LET THE WINDOW DOWN IF YOU ARE ABLE TO AND UNLOCK THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SMOKING, FIRE, ETC., AND PASSENGERS ARE UNABLE TO GET OUT OF VEHICLE. THIS IS A DEFECT WITH THIS VEHICLE..

STRUCTURE:BODY
THE BACK PASSENGER INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE BROKE. I FEEL IS IT UNREASONABLE TO HAVE A WORKING HANDLE TO EXIT A VEHICLE. NOW SINCE MY SON IS OLDER, I AM CONCERNED WITH HIS ABILITY TO EXIT OUT SAFELY IN AN EMERGENCY. THE POOR DESIGN CREATES A SAFETY ISSUE FOR OWNERS AND THEIR PASSENGERS.

ENGINE
VEHICLE STALLS RANDOMLY, LOSING POWER BRAKES AND STEERING. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. UNFORTUNATELY, THERE NEEDS TO BE SOLID A RESOLUTION AS PEOPLE CAN'T SPEND TONS OF MONEY ON WHAT THE ISSUE "MIGHT" BE AND THEN GET BACK ON THE ROAD IN THIS DEATH TRAP TO ONLY HAVE IT STALL AGAIN.

AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES
I JUST PURCHASED THIS 2006 JEEP COMMANDER AND NOTICED AFTER PURCHASE THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. READ LATER THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. DID MANUFACTURER EVER PUT OUT A RECALL FOR THIS? IS THIS A SENSOR ISSUE?

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE VEHICLE HAS POWER FAILURE WHILE DRIVING AND WHILE STATIONARY WITH ENGINE RUNNING! THE DASHBOARD INSTRUMENT PANEL, GAUGES, LIGHTS, HVAC, RADIO, ETC. SHUTS OFF BUT THE VEHICLE STILL RUNS, AND IT CONTINUES TO TURN OFF AND ON OVER AND OVER AGAIN. ALSO, IT OCCURS WHETHER ON A SMOOTH SURFACE IN MOTION OR WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD, AND IT OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SITTING STILL WITH ENGINE RUNNING. IT MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE THE VEHICLE IS ABOUT TO SHUT OFF. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY VEHICLE, REGARDLESS OF THE LOCATION. THERE IS A SAFETY RECALL FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH, AND I FEEL THIS PROBLEM MAY BE RELATED TO THAT ISSUE.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SEAT BELTS
WHILE RAINING WATER DRAINS INTO VEHICLE FROM SUNROOF CAUSING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. LIGHTS CONSTANTLY FLICKERING, DASHBOARD LIGHTS CONSTANTLY TURNING ON AND OFF, INTERIOR WATER DAMAGE, RUSTING INSIDE COMPONENTS. THIS INCIDENT HAPPENS CONSTANTLY FORCING ME TO KEEP HEADLIGHTS ON HIGH BEAM AT ALL TIMES WHILE THE CAR IS STATIONARY AS WELL AS IN MOTION ON STREETS AS WELL AS HIGHWAYS. THIS PROBLEM CAUSES UNNECESSARY PROBLEMS BEING THAT WHILE THE CAR IS GOING THROUGH THIS THE TURNING SIGNALS, WIPER BLADES, AIR CONDITIONING TURN OFF AND ON. EVEN THOUGH MY CAR WAS SERVICED UNDER WARRANTY FOR REAR SEATBELTS THE BELTS ARE CONSTANTLY JAMMING KEEPING MY CHILDREN CAPTIVE AND AT SOME POINTS IT WILL NOT SUCCESSFULLY LATCH.

STRUCTURE:BODY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE SUNROOF DRAIN DESIGN WAS FAULTY. DURING RAINING WEATHER, THE SUNROOF DRAINS CANNOT HANDLE THE COLLECTED RAIN AND THE RAIN WILL OVERFLOW AND GO INTO THE CAR. THE RAIN THAT OVERFLOWS FALLS INTO THE FRONT PANEL AND HAS CAUSED MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL FAILURES AND SHORTAGES. MOST IMPORTANTLY THE WATER HAS DAMAGED THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND HEADLIGHT CONTROLS WHICH CAUSES THEM TO SHUT OFF WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE.
