ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
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

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35MPH AND ENGAGING THE BRAKE PEDAL INTERMITTENTLY, THE ENGINE STALLED. THE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES ALSO FAILED AND THE RADIO CONTINUED TO PLAY. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER FOR 28 DAYS TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED DURING OR AFTER THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE RESTARTS IMMEDIATELY. SPEED WAS NOT A FACTOR WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,000.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
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 HAVE A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER WITH ONLY 13,000 MILES ON IT AND IT HAS STALLED TWICE WHILE DRIVING. DEALERSHIP HAS SEEN IT ONCE AND RELOADED COMPUTER SOFTWARE TO SEE IF THAT FIXES THE PROBLEM. THE SECOND TIME OCCURRED AFTER THAT SO IT'S BEING TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REVIEW. I AM NERVOUS ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY/CHILDREN. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I PURCHASED MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER IN OCT. 2005. FIRST, MY BRAKES WOULD SHIMMY WHEN I CAME TO A STOP. THEN, BEGINNING SEPT. 13, I NOTICED MY DASH BOARD LIGHTS FLASHING ON AND OFF AS I ACCELERATED AFTER A STOP AND DROVE UPHILL. NOW, IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I AM DRIVIG THE VEHICLE UPHILL OR ON LEVEL AREAS ON THE HIGHWAYS AND FREEWAYS. IT GETS WORSE AND WORSE EVERYDAY. ON MONDAY, SEPT. 17, I CALLED TONY MCCUNE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP AND ARRANGED FOR AN APPOINTMENT TO BRING MY VEHICLE FOR A CHECK UP. THE DEALERSHIP WANTED TO CHARGE ME $190 TO ANALYZE IT. THEN, THEY CALLED ME IN THE AFTERNOON AND SAID IT WOULD COST ME OVER $400 TO REPAIR THE JEEP EVENTHOUGH THEY STILL DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE. BEFORE I WENT IN THE NEXT DAY, I SURFED THE INTERNET AND LEARNED THAT CHRYSLER WAS RECALLING MY MODEL FOR THE CONDITIONS I EXPLAINED ABOVE (MALFUNCTION OF THE COMPUTER SYSTEM, WHICH AFFECTS THE BRAKING SYSTEM). THE DEALERSHIP INSISTED THAT MY JEEP WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. CALLING CHRYSLER IN OAK RIDGE, TN, I EXPERIENCED THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE FROM A REPRESENTATIVE WHO INSISTED THERE WAS NO RECALL IN PLACE FOR MY MODEL. THE DEALERSHIP CALLED ME BACK AND SAID THAT CHRYSLER WOULD EXTEND MY WARRANTY (SINCE IT HAD ALREADY EXPIRED) IF I WOULD PAY $100 DEDUCTIBLE. ATER I PICKED UP MY JEEP AND DRIVE OFF, I NOTICED THE SAME THING HAPPENING AS I DROVE ONTO THE FREEWAY. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND EXPLAINED THE SITUATION. THE REPRESENTATIVE (BRUCE) INSISTED THAT THE IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPAIRED. I DON'T BELIEVE THE DEALERSHIP EVER REPAIRED MY JEEP. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE RUN-AROUND I AM RECEIVING FROM JEEP, CHRYSLER AND THE LOCAL SERVICE REPS. I AM ALSO GRAVELY CONCERNED FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY IN THIS VEHICLE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM/PCM/TECM)
I PURCHASED MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER IN OCT. 2005 FROM MCCUNE CHRYSLER JEEP IN NATIONAL CITY, CA. INITIALLY, I STARTED NOTICING MY BRAKES SHIMMYING AS I CAME TO A STOP. I REPORTED TO MY DEALERSHIP A FEW TIMES BUT NO GOOD CAME OUT OF IT. THEN, LAST THURSDAY, SEPT. 13, I NOTICED MY DASHBOARD LIGHTS (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, BRAKES AND TRANSMISSION LIGHTS) FLASHING ON AND OFF AS I ACCELERATED FROM A STOP AND HEADED UPHILL. IT FELT AS THOUGH THE JEEP WANTED TO STOP AND GO AT THE SAME TIME. I REPORTED IT TO MY DEALERSHIP AND BROUGHT IN THE VEHICLE THE NEXT WEEK. THE DEALERSHIP QUOTED ME $190 TO ANALYZE IT (SINCE MY JEEP WAS ABOUT 8,000 MILES BEYOND THE WARRANTY PERIOD). THEN, THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD COST ME OVER $400 TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. I BEGAN TO RESEARCH THE INTERNET ABOUT RECALLS ON THIS MAKE AND MODEL AND FOUND THAT CHRYSLER HAD ISSUED A RECALL ON FRIDAY, SEPT. 14, 2007. I PRINTED THE ARTICLE AND BROUGHT IT TO MY SERVICE REP AT MCCUNE. THE REP INSISTED THAT IT WAS NOT MY PROBLEM AND THAT HIS DEALERSHIP HAD NOT HEARD OF A RECALL ON MY MAKE AND MODEL. SO, I CALLED CHRYSLER'S CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT IN OAK RIDGE, TN. THE REPRESENTATIVES THERE INSISTED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. FRUSTRATED, I ACCEPTED THE DEALERSHIPS OFFER TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE. THEY QUOTED ME A $100 DEDUCTIBLE TO PLACE THE VEHICLE UNDER WARRANTY. AS I DROVE OFF, THE SAME THING HAPPENED ALL OVER AGAIN. I CALLED THE SERVICE ADVISOR AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAD HAPPENED. HE INSISTED THAT HE TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE AND THE LIGHTS NEVER CAME ON. I DIDN'T BELIEVE HIM. I FEEL THAT HE MISLEAD ME AND THAT HIS DEALERSHIP NEVER REPAIRED MY VEHICLE. I WILL BRING MY VEHICLE BACK TO MCCUNE MONDAY MORNING (9/24/07) AND I WILL SEE WHAT WILL HAPPEN. I PAID FOR A RENTAL VEHICLE LAST WEEK (OVER $100 AND THE DEALERSHIP NEVER OFFERED TO COVER MY EXPENSES. I AM SO FRUSTRATED. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER AND I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM. EVERYTIME I TURN MY VEHICLES, AND SWITCH PEDALS FROM BRAKE TO GAS, MY CAR JUST LOCKS IN PLACE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE AS I AM GOING INTO A MAJOR INTERSECTIONS AND I ALMOST WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT (REAR ENDED) BECAUSE OF THIS. BASICALLY THE VEHICLE HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS DESCRIBED ON THE CHRYSLER RECALL PRESS RELEASE BUT ON THEIR WEBSITE I CHECKED THE VIN NUMBER AND IT SAYS THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE. *TR

MY HUSBAND AND I ARE LEASING A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER SINCE NOV 2005. I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN 3 SEPARATE TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS ON MAY 31 2006, AUGUST 8 2006 AND SEPTEMBER 20 2007. THE ENGINE STALLED DURING LOW SPEED TURNS ON BOTH AUGUST 8 2006 AND SEPTEMBER 20 2007. I HAD JUST LEFT A STOP SIGN ON MAY 31 2006 WHEN MY ENGINE STALLED IN THE INTERSECTION, RESULTING IN A CRASH. I WAS CITED FOR FAILURE TO YIELD ON MAY 31 2006. I WASN'T CITED ON AUGUST 8 2006 OR SEPTEMBER 20 2007, ALTHOUGH THE POLICE REPORT FROM THE SEPTEMBER 20 2007 ACCIDENT DESCRIBES A "FAILURE TO YIELD." I HAVE ALSO HAD ONGOING TIRE PRESSURE ISSUES AS WELL AS INTERMITTENT BRAKE FAILURE ISSUES. PRIOR TO MAY 31 2006 I HAD NEVER BEEN INVOLVED IN A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT NOR HAD I RECEIVED ANY TRAFFIC CITATIONS. I AM 48 YEARS OLD. MY VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED TWICE AFTER THE FIRST 2 ACCIDENTS, BUT I AM AWAITING CONTACT FROM THE OTHER PARTY'S AUTO INSURER BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH THE REPAIRS FOLLOWING YESTERDAY'S ACCIDENT. I'VE BROUGHT THE 2006 JEEP COMMANDER IN TO BUD MULCAHY'S JEEP ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THAT DEALERSHIP IS NOW CLOSED. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. WHEN THE CONTACT STARTED THE VEHICLE, THE HEADLIGHTS AND INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE. HE STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES FAILED TO WORK AS WELL. WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNED IN EITHER DIRECTION WITHOUT APPLYING THE BRAKES, THE ABS WOULD ENGAGE AND THE VEHICLE DECELERATED. THE CONTACT FELT THE PULSATING VIBRATION THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL AND HEARD THE ABS ENGAGE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH AND GREATER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE, HOWEVER, THEY RESET THE CODES IN THE VEHICLE. TWO WEEKS LATER, WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DIFFERENT DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE REMOTE START MODULE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE AND FOUR WHEEL DRIVE LIGHTS WOULD OFTEN ILLUMINATE AND DIM AUTOMATICALLY. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 20,000.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, VISIBILITY
MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER CONTINUALLY STALLS, THREATENING THE LIVES OF WHOEVER IS IN THE CAR. THERE IS NO WARNING. SUDDENLY THERE WILL BE A COMPLETE LOSS OF CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE. NO WARNING LIGHTS, NO BELLS, SOUNDS, WHISTLES...NOTHING! THE ONLY WAY TO REMEDY IS TO TURN VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART. THIS TURNS IN TO A LIFE THREATENING INCIDENT WHEN THE TRAFFIC BEHIND YOU IS UNAWARE THAT YOU ARE IN FACT STALLED. THE DEALERSHIP HAS NO UPDATES OR COMPLAINTS OF THIS PROBLEM (YA, RIGHT) AND DRIVES IT AROUND THE BLOCK...WITH NO INCIDENCES OCCURRING. IF THEY THINK IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN WHILE THEY'RE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THEY'RE WRONG. I 'M RISKING MY FAMILIES LIVES EVERY TIME WE GET IN THE CAR. IT'S THE MOST EXPENSIVE PIECE OF JUNK I'VE EVER OWNED! VISIBILITY OUT THE REAR WINDOW WHEN THE 3RD ROW SEATS ARE UP IS JUST ABOUT ZERO. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. YOU CAN'T SEE CARS, KIDS, OR YOUR NEIGHBORS HOUSE WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO SEE WHAT'S BEHIND YOU. DRIVER'S SIDE LOCKS ON IT'S OWN. LUCKILY THE PASSENGER DOORS REMAIN UNLOCKED, SO I HAVEN'T LOCKED MYSELF OUT...YET. *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
TWICE WHILE PULLING INTO PARKING SPACES, ONCE WHILE PULLING OUT OF A DRIVE-THROUGH INTO THE MAIN ROAD, AND ONCE WHILE COMING TO A STOP SIGN, MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER HAS STALLED, LOSING BRAKES AND STEERING. I HAVE TO RESTART THE CAR USING THE KEY. NO INDICATOR LIGHT TELLS ME WHAT HAPPENED OR THAT THERE IS ANYTHING WRONG. THE FIRST TIME IT TOOK INTO THE DEALER, THEY SAID THAT MY COMPUTERIZED FUEL MIX RATIO WAS WAY OFF. THEY SAID IT SHOULD BE AT 0 AND THAT MINE WAS AT 6.SOMETHING. THEY RESET IT TO 1.5, THE LOWEST THEY COULD GET IT TO. THEY FELT THAT THIS WAS THE PROBLEM CAUSING THE STALL. I GOT THE CAR BACK AND IT DID NOT STALL FOR TWO MONTHS BUT THEN STALLED AGAIN. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY COMPUTERIZED INDICATOR TO TELL THEM WHY THIS WAS HAPPENING AND COULD NOT MAKE IT HAPPEN WHILE IT WAS AT THE SHOP. THE SHOP MANAGER SAID THAT HE EVEN LOOKED ON THE INTERNET TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY OTHER CASES AND COULD FIND NONE. HESAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING FROM DAIMLER/CHRYSLER ABOUT IT EITHER. WHEN I WENT TO THE NTSBA WEB SITE, I FOUND THAT THERE WAS AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS SINCE FEB 2007 AND THAT DAIMLER/CHRYSLER RESPONDED THAT THEY ARE NOW DOING THEIR OWN INVESTIGATION. IF THIS IS THE CASE, WHY WOULD THE DEALERSHIP NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I GOT THE CAR BACK AND WITHIN TWO WEEKS IT STALLED AGAIN AT THE STOP SIGN. THIS LAST INCIDENT WAS ON SEPT 13, 2007. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY DO NOT HAVE A SOLUTION. *TR
