INSIDE DOORS FAILING ALL FOUR ARE CRACKED THE DRIVER SIDE PASSENGER DOES NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE. IF IN AN ACCIDENT THEY MIGHT ALL FAIL AND THEN NO ONE WILL BE ABLE TO EXIT THE CAR, IF A FIRE HAPPENS OR WE JUST NEED TO GET OUT FOR OTHER REASON. WE WILL NEED TO OPEN WINDOWS, TO OPEN DOOR FROM OUTSIDE, WHICH MIGHT NOT BE POSSIBLE IF WRECKED AND WINDOWS FAIL. IF REPLACED AND DEFECT IS NOT FIXED IT DEALERS WILL NOT HELP AND AVERAGE PRICE AS 450.00 DOLLARS PER DOOR. WHEN WE PURCHASED THE JEEP IN 2008 WE NOT INFORMED OF THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION IN THIS MATTER. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
I OWN A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. IN LESS THAN ONE YEAR ALL FOUR OF MY VEHICLE DOORS HAVE CRACKED AND BROKEN BEYOND RECOGNITION. PIECES HAVE FALLEN FROM THE DOORS, AND THE LEVER MECHANISMS WORK ONLY HALF THE TIME. MOST OF THE TIME THE DOORS HAVE TO BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE, BY ANOTHER PASSENGER. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFTEY ISSUE. EACH TIME THAT WE ATTEMPT TO EXIT THE VEHICLE, IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO OPEN THE DOORS. IF WE SHOULD HAVE AN EMERGENCY, WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN FOR RECALL INFORMATION, BUT I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL. EACH TIME THAT I HAVE TALKED TO A DEALER, THEY HAVE STATED THAT NO RECALLS ARE ON FILE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I WAS DRIVING 25 MILES AND HIT A BUMP. NOISE STARTING COMING FROM UNDER THE MIDDLE ROW SEAT. CHECKED UNDER THE CAR, COULD SEE NO ISSUES. BROUGHT IT TO 2 MECHANICS COULD NOT SEE PROBLEM. DROVE CAR EVERYTHING WAS FINE UNTIL HIT A BUMP AND THE NOISE STARTING AGAIN. BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE MECHANIC AND COULD NOT SEE OR HERE PROBLEM. CALLED CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE AND THAT THE BRAKE CABLE FALLS DOWN AND HITS THE DIFFERENTIAL AND THE DRIVE SHAFT. I ASKED IF THIS WAS A RECALL ISSUE AND THEY SAID NO THAT I WOULD HAVE TO COVER REPAIRS. CONTACTED JEEP DEALER AND IT IS GOING TO BE $350 FOR REPAIR. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL AS IF IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN BRAKES CAN FAIL. *TR
