ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
OUR 2006 JEEP COMMANDER HAS HAD A RECURRING PROBLEM OF STALLING AT RANDOM TIMES, WHILE BOTH DRIVING AND IDLING. EVERY DAY WE START THE VEHICLE BUT CANNOT DRIVE IT RIGHT AWAY BECAUSE IT STALLS OUT IF WE DON'T WAIT AT LEAST 5 MINUTES TO "WARM IT UP". ANOTHER EXAMPLE, WE WERE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AND TURNING LEFT IN AN INTERSECTION AND IT STALLED OUT WHILE IN MOTION AND LOST CONTROL OF STEERING AND BRAKING. I NOTICED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS FOR THOUSANDS OF 2006 JEEP COMMANDERS, BUT OUR VIN # SHOWS NO RECALLS FOR OUR CAR. WE ARE HAVING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM WITH THIS TRUCK AS THE OTHER OWNERS OF RECALLED 2006 JEEP COMMANDERS. IT IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP FOR THE THIRD TIME AND THE MECHANICS CANNOT RECREATE THE STALL WHILE MOVING ISSUE AND CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHY IT IS HESITATING AND STALLING. THIS IS MY 16 YEAR OLD NEW DRIVER'S VEHICLE AND I'M AFRAID FOR HER SAFETY.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
UPON STARTING THE ENGINE READS A HIGH IDLE, DRIVE THE JEEP DOWN THE ROAD AND A RED LIGHTNING BOLT APPEARS AND THEN ACROSS THE DASH READS CHECK GAUGES. AT THIS POINT THE COOLANT GAUGE QUITS WORKING. IF SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED THE JEEP SOMETIMES WON'T START AND WILL SAY TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING EVEN WHEN IT'S NOT. IT WILL SOUND LIKE THE STARTER IS STUCK AND KEEP TRYING TO START UNTIL THE KEY IS REMOVED. AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES OF IT SITTING IT WILL NOW START AND THE GAUGES WILL WORK PROPERLY AND NO WARNING LIGHTS. ALREADY REPLACED THERMOSTAT AND TEMPERATURE SENSOR.

SEAT BELTS
THE 3RD ROW SEATBELTS CLICK AS IF THEY'RE LATCHING AND DO NOT LOCK. THIS ALLOWS THEM TO POP OUT WHEN UNEXPECTED AND WOULD BE DANGEROUS IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS 3ROW PRETTY MUCH FITS CHILDREN WHO MAY NOT RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM. I PAID TO REPLACE MINE AND WITHIN 4 MONTHS THE NEW ONES I BOUGHT FROM DEALER BROKE. IT APPEARS THE FAULTY DESIGN OF THE FOLDING SEAT IS ONE THING THAT BREAKS THE SEATBELTS LATCHES. SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND JUST SELL THE VEHICLE TO SOME UNSUSPECTING PERSON. BELOW I PUT ROUGHLY THE DATE I FOUND IT, BUT HAD BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS ALREADY BROKEN. I JUST DIDN'T KNOW IT OR KNOW TO CHECK IT.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE VEHICLE IS CONSTANTLY STALLING....AND HAS TO BE RESTARTED. THIS OCCURS AT STOP LIGHTS, WHILE IDLING, WHILE STARTING TO BRAKE SO YOU DON'T HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF YOU. IF IT DOESN'T STALL INSTEAD IT WILL REV UP THE RPMS ON ITS OWN WHILE YOU ARE BRAKING AND JUMP FORWARD... ALSO THIS OCCURS WITH YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE IT WILL STILL JUMP FORWARD. PROBLEM CONTINUES.

ENGINE
WE HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH OUR JEEP JUST SUDDENLY TURNING OFF. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION SPECIALLY SINCE WE HAVE OUR KIDS IN THE JEEP WITH US WHEN IT HAPPENS. WE COULD BE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND THE JEEP WILL JUST SHUT OFF AND WILL NOT SHOW NO PROBLEM CODES. THIS HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED AND NO SPEED. WE TURN THE JEEP ON A LET IT WARM UP. ABOUT 2 MINUTES LATER IT SHUTS OFF. WE HAVE TO TURN IT BACK ON. THEN WE WOULD BE DRIVING AT SPEED BELOW 30 MPH AND TURNS OFF. AND MOST DANGEROUSLY ON THE FREEWAY WHEN IT JUST TURNS OFF AND WE HAVE TO PULL OVER AND THIS IS HARD SPECIALLY BECAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL IS SO STIFF. HOPEFULLY JEEP/CHRYSLER CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE THROUGH A STONE TUNNEL ON THE BLUE RIDGE PARKWAY THAT HAD NO LIGHTING WITHIN THE TUNNEL THE JEEP SUFFERED AN TOTAL ELECTRICAL FAILURE AND A TOTAL BLACKOUT TOOK PLACE. THANKFUL THAT I WAS NOT KILLED AND THAT NO ONE ELSE WAS IN THE TUNNEL AT THE TIME, THE JEEP WAS COASTED TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE TUNNEL AND OFF TO THE SIDE ON THE GRASS. HAD ANYONE BEEN COMING IN EITHER DIRECTION I MAY HAVE HAD ENOUGH LIGHT BUT IT WAS PITCH BLACK. I HAVE READ OF HUNDREDS OF ELECTRICAL FAILURES IN THIS JEEP VEHICLE AND WONDER WHY I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED. THIS IS A PRODUCT WARRANTY ISSUE FOR JEEP AND IT NEARLY WAS ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR VEHICULAR HOMICIDE! THE JEEP JUST CUT OFF ALL ELECTRIC AND NOT EVEN DASHBOARD LIGHTS AFFORDED VISUAL. I HAVE THE PARK RANGERS REPORT AND SHE SAID THIS MOST LIKELY WAS TOTAL ELECTRICAL FAILURE. I HAVE PICTURES FROM THE ACCIDENT AS THE JEEP HIT THE STONE TUNNEL SIDE AND THEN THE STEERING ROD ON THE RIGHT BROKE. THE INSURANCE COMPANY CHOSE TO JUNK THE JEEP AND I WAS LEFT WITHOUT EVEN A RENTAL CAR. I HAVE PICTURES AND THE RANGERS REPORT AND MY REPORT IF REQUESTED. HOW DO I CONTACT JEEP FOR A PRODUCT LIABILITY COMPLAINT?

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY JEEP HAS PERIODIC STARTING ISSUES. ALL THE LIGHTS WORK ON THE DASH IT JUST CLICKS. THIS IS VERY RANDOM. IF YOU JUMP IT THE VEHICLE WILL START. SOMETIMES IF YOU WAIT A PERIOD OF TIME IT WILL START. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY REPLACED STARTER BUT ISSUE STILLS PERSIST. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO RECREATE. DEALERS HAVE NO CLUE WHAT IS CAUSING THE ISSUE.
