ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING 70MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY, MY CAR SUDDENLY STALLED. I WAS FORCED TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY STOP ON THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY. UNLUCKY FOR ME, WHERE MY CAR DECIDED TO STALL WAS NEAR THE OFF RAMP OF THE HIGHWAY, UNDER A BRIDGE. IT WAS QUITE A DANGEROUS POSITION TO BE IN. THE JEEP DEALERSHIP DECIDED THAT IT WAS A THROTTLE POSITIONING SENSOR. SEVERAL MONTHS LATER AND MY CAR IS RANDOMLY STALLING AGAIN AND THE DEALERSHIP DOES NOT UNDERSTAND WHY. I'VE HAD MY SHIFT ASSEMBLY FULLY REPLACED AS WELL AS A NEW STARTER. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE ISSUES THAT I AM FACING AND WHY SO LITTLE IS KNOWN BY THE JEEP DEALERSHIP WHEN THIS SUV HAS BEEN OUT FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW. *TR

OUT OF THE BLUE THE WHOLE RADIO/CD/NAVIGATION CONSOLE WENT OUT! THE RADIO STILL WORKS, BUT ONLY THE PRESET STATIONS AND I CAN ONLY CONTROL IT FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. THEN I NOTICED THAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT(ON INSTRUMENT PANEL) IS TURNING ON AND OFF AND BEEPING EACH TIME. THERE HAVE ALSO BEEN WATER ISSUES COMING FROM THE SUNROOF, SOAKING THE FLOOR BOARDS IN MAINLY THE PASSENGER SIDE BUT SOMETIMES ALSO THE DRIVERS SIDE. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED. *TR

MY JEEPS CUTS OFF GOING ABOUT 70 MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE HAD TO STAFFORD JEEP IN WINCHESTER VA 4 TIMES AND THEY CAN NOT SEEM TO FIND THE PROBLEM. THE WAS A RECALL ON THE PCM MODULE BUT THEY ASSURE ME THAT THE RECALL WAS DONE CORRECTLY. NOW THE JEEP HAD THROTTLE CONTROL ISSUES. IT WILL SPEED UP AND LOSE POWER. THIS HAS CAUSE OTHER ISSUES AS NOW MY JEEP IS MIS FIRING. STAFFORD JEEP WANTS TO CHARGE ME FOR ALL OF THIS AND I BELIEVE IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE CONTROL MODULES. *TR

ON ALL 2006 AND 2007 JEEP COMMANDER'S WITH 4.6 4.7 AND HEMI ENGINES HAVE AN ISSUE WITH EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS BREAKING, REQUIRING EXTENSIVE REPAIR, WHICH CAN COST IN THE THOUSANDS. THE INTERNET IS FULL OF THIS ISSUE AND IT IS KNOWN WITH ALL DEALERS, BUT CHRYSLER THEMSELVES IGNORE IT. IF THE ISSUE ISN'T FIXED BECAUSE OF THE PRICE THE ENGINE CAN HAVE MORE ISSUES DUE TO THE BOLTS. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE SINCE THE COMPANY THAT MAKES THE VEHICLE WONT. EVEN ON THERE OWN FORUM IT STATES "JEEP COMMANDER PROBLEM MODEL YEARS AFFECTED: 2006, 2007 ENGINES AFFECTED: 3.7L V6, 4.7L V8, 5.7L V8 HEMI AVERAGE MILEAGE: 79,474 MI (40,000 MI - 154,000 MI) VERIFIED 3.7 V6 AND 4.7 V8 ENGINES MAY DEVELOP EXHAUST LEAKS DUE TO BROKEN EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS. EXHAUST MANIFOLD GASKETS AND BOLTS SHOULD BE REPLACED AS NECESSARY. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY
I OWN A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER WITH 78K MILES AND THE DRIVER FRONT AND PASSANGER REAR DOORS HAVE SHATTERED BEHIND THE HANDLE CAUSING THE HANDLE TO BECOME USLESS FROM THE INSIDE. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFTY ISSUE AS NO ONE CAN EXIT THE VEHICLE FROM THOSE DOOR IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY. AFTER DOING A LITTLE RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS PROBLEM IS NOT A ONE TIME OCCURANCE AND IS HAPPENING MORE AND MORE OFTEN. THE COST TO REPLACE THE WHOLE DOOR PANEL IS WELL OVER $600.00 EACH AND THAT FROM MY UNDERSTANDING IS THE ONLY FIX TO THIS LITTLE CHEAP PIECE OF PLASTIC BREAKING. LETS HOPE THIS IS FIXED BEFORE SOME ONE IS HURT OR KILLED. *TR

ENGINE
STARTED THE CAR AT THE HOUSE AND DROVE 1 MILE TO THE GAS STATION. SHUT THE CAR OFF TO FILL THE TANK. TRIED TO RESTART AND IT WOULD NOT START UNTIL I PUSHED THE GAS IN. WHEN IT STARTED SMOKE POURED OUT THE BACK. TOOK IT ACROSS THE STREET TO A MECHANIC AND THEY SAID THE ENGINE WAS TRASHED. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE JEEP DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT IT. THEY SAID THE SAME THING THAT THE MOTOR WAS TRASHED. I PAID THE DODGE DEALER TO TEAR DOWN THE ENGINE SO I COULD KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE VALVE IN THE 4TH CYLINDER HAD SLIPPED DOWN INTO THE MOTOR AND DESTROYED THE PISTON AND CYLINDER WALL. HAVE TO HAVE A NEW ENGINE INSTALLED. THE VEHICLE IS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER WITH THE 5.7 HEMI AND ONLY HAS 77,000 MILES ON IT AND FROM WHAT I HAVE RESEARCHED AND TALKING TO MECHANICS THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN. THIS PART SHOULD NOT FAIL IN THIS MANOR. HAVE GOTTEN NO RESPONSE FROM CHRYSLER AND AM TAKING ON THE COST OF THE REPAIR MYSELF. IF I WAS HARD ON THE MOTOR IT WOULD BE ONE THING BUT IT WAS ONLY DRIVEN TO WORK BY MY WIFE. WE ONLY PUT MAYBE 20,000 MILE ON IT SINCE WE BOUGHT IT. I AM AWARE THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED IN OTHER VEHICLES AND WHO KNOWS HOW MANY WERE REPAIRED BY CHRYSLER, UNDER WARRANTY. I WILL BE INTO THIS VEHICLE ABOUT 40,000 DOLLARS AFTER THE NEW ENGINE IS INSTALLED AND I THINK CHRYSLER BARES PART OF THE BLAME AND SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME IN CONSIDERING THIS MATTER. *TR

DRIVER SIDE FLOOR HAS HAD APPROX 1-2 INCHES OF WATER AFTER RAINING ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. LOCAL JEEP DEALER SAID THE SUNROOF DRAIN WAS CLOGGED. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING, ONLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED. IT'S PRETTY PRICEY TO HAVE THESE DRAINS UNCLOGGED AND FROM READING ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM ON EDMUNDS, IT IS A CONSISTENT SERVICE THAT NEEDS DONE. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED BECAUSE THIS SOUNDS LIKE A DEFECT ON CHRYSLER'S PART, BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT IT. WHEN THIS WATER FLOODS MY FLOOR IT STINKS IN THE VEHICLE. I ALSO NOTICE FLIES AND GNATS. I AM AFRAID OF MOLD, DRY ROT AND ELECTRICAL ISSUES. MY RADIO IS GOING OUT AND I BELIEVE THE WATER HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THIS. I NEVER HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE RADIO UNTIL THIS STARTED. THE SCREEN IS NO LONGER CLEAR, THE GPS DOESN'T WORK, THE UCONNECT HANDS FREE DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY ANYMORE AND THE RADIO RANDOMLY CHANGES STATIONS ON ITS OWN. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
PROBLEM STARTED WITH VEHICLE LOSING POWER ON ACCELERATION FROM DEAD STOP. IT DID THAT TWICE BEFORE THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON AS I WAS PULLING OUT INTO HEAVY TRAFFIC. IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO GARAGE WHICH DETERMINED CODE WERE U0404 (IMPLAUSIBLE DATA RECEIVED FROM ESM), P0607 (ECU INTERNAL PERFORMANCE) AND B1A28 (ECM MISMATCH WITH SKM). DEALERS HAD TWO SHIFTER/ESM ASSEMBLIES IN STOCK. THAT TELLS ME THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AS I HAVE READ ON THE INTERNET THAT IT IS. THIS VEHICLE IS PAMPERED AND ONLY DRIVEN ABOUT 5K PER YEAR, MOSTLY WHEN I GOT TO OUR HUNTING CAMP UP STATE. REPAIR COST $1,130.99. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO PONY UP WITH A RECALL AND FIX THIS ISSUE WITHOUT COST AS WELL AS REIMBURSE THOSE OF US WHO HAVE ALREADY PAID TO HAVE THE DEFECT FIXED. SOMEONE COULD BE INJURED OR KILLED AS A RESULT OF THIS DEFECT. *TR

THERE ARE REPORTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE WITH JEEP COMMANDERS. THIS NEEDS TO BE REVIEWED FOR RECALL AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE CHECK PARK ASSIST WARNING STARTED TO FLASH INTERMITTENTLY WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION. WHEN THIS OCCURRED, ALL GEAR INDICATORS ON THE DASH WOULD LIGHT UP AT THE SAME TIME. THERE WAS INITIALLY NO OTHER INDICATION THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. EVENTUALLY, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE DEALER DIAGNOSED IT AS NEEDING A NEW TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. THE SAME EVENTS OCCURRED WITHIN 2 WEEKS OF INSTALLING THE NEW MODULE. DEALER REPLACED IT AGAIN AND SAID THE PART WAS FAULTY. THE SAME EVENTS OCCURRED AGAIN WITH THE NEXT MONTH. DEALER WAS UNABLE TO FIND A PROBLEM AND RESET THE COMPUTER/WIPED THE ERROR. IT OCCURRED AGAIN AND PROGRESSED TO THE CAR LOOSING ACCELERATING POWER WHILE DRIVING AND/OR SHIFTING IN TO LOWER GEARS FOR NO REASON. NEW DEALER THIS TIME, SAYS THAT IT IS THE SHIFTING CONTROL MODULE. REVIEW OF THE ISSUE ON-LINE SHOWS A LONG HISTORY OF THIS PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH I AM FORTUNATE ENOUGH NOT TO HAVE IT HAPPEN WITHIN A FEW YEARS OF OWNERSHIP. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT CAN CAUSE INJURY TO PASSENGERS WHEN THE CAR SHIFTS DOWN AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND/OR ACCIDENTS BECAUSE THE DRIVER NO LONGER HAS CONTROL OF ACCELERATION. *TR
