STRUCTURE:BODY
WHEN I BOUGHT MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER FROM BURNS MOTORS I DID NOT NOTICE THAT THE DRIVER DOOR HANDLE (PLASTIC CUP WHERE HANDLE GOES) WAS CRACKED. SURE ENOUGH WHEN MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING HE LEANED HIS KNEE ON THE DOOR AND THERE WAS A LOUD POP AND HANDLE CUP CAME OFF IN ABOUT 3-4 PIECES. I THEN NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE CUP WAS ALSO CRACKED, SO WITHIN A FEW MONTHS IT CAME OFF IN SEVERAL PIECES TOO. NOW WITH ABOUT 2 YEARS WITH THIS VEHICLE, I HAVE ALL 4 DOOR HANDLES BROKEN. I HAVE ALSO GOTTEN AN ESTIMATE AT THE DEALERSHIP WHEN I TOOK IT FOR SERVICE AND GOT AN ESTIMATE OF ABOUT 1,200 FOR 2 DOORS ONLY. I HAVE ALSO CHECK FOR PARTS ONLINE AND YOU NEED TO A DOOR TO GET THIS PIECE WHICH RANGES FROM 600 TO 1000 DOLLARS FOR 1 DOOR. NOW I AM STARTING TO GET VERY CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY ISSUES SINCE I HAVE 3 KIDS AND WOULDN'T EVEN WHAT TO THINK, WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF I NEEDED TO GET OUT IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY. I HAVE ALSO HAD MY PASSENGER COMPANIONS FIND IT VERY FRUSTRATING TO OPEN FROM OUTSIDE OR WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO OPEN DOOR FOR THEM. THERE SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL SINCE WE ARE A LOT OF CUSTOMERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE FROM CHRYSLER COMPANY. THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ MY CONCERN. GREATLY APPRECIATED AND HOPE SOMETHING GETS DONE TO HELP THE MANY CUSTOMERS LIKE ME THAT ARE CONCERN ABOUT THEIR SAFETY. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
BEGINNING IN OCTOBER 2009 WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 36K ON IT THE ENGINE STALLED ONCE. I THOUGHT MAYBE GAS OR SOMETHING....THEN TWO MORE TIMES IN OCTOBER WHILE STOPPED. GETS WORSE BY THE WEEK UNTIL IT IS ACTUALLY STALLING WHEN DRIVING AT 60MPH.....HAVE HAD IT IN FOR SERVICE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND THEY HAVE REPLACED SEVERAL COMPONENTS AND STILL WILL STALL. THIS IS 2012 AND SINCE IT ALL BEGAN I HAVE FILED 2 CASES WITH CHRYSLER, ON THE FIRST GO ROUND, THEY THOUGHT THEY FIXED IT AND AGAIN A FEW WEEKS LATER IT BEGAN TO STALL. MY DAUGHTER, 6 YEARS OF AGE, IN THE CAR AND I AM TAKING HER TO SCHOOL AND THE ENGINE STALLS AND WE ALMOST WERE HIT BY A VEHICLE TRAVELING IN EXCESS OF 55 MPH, IF THAT VEHICLE DID NOT GET OUT OF THE WAY IT WOULD HAVE DIRECTLY HIT WHERE MY DAUGHTER WAS SITTING. SHE BEGAN TO CRY AND SHE WILL NO LONGER RIDE IN THE COMMANDER. WE ARE ALL AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. IT HAS STALLED ON US I KNOW OVER 100 TIMES IN THE PAST 4 YEARS. I HAVE BEGGED CHRYSLER TO REPLACE THE VEHICLE. I LOVED MY COMMANDER I HAVE HAD SEVERAL JEEPS AND THIS IS SO UPSETTING. CHRYSLER SEEMS TO DENY THEY HAVE ANY CLUE OF THESE PROBLEMS WITH 2007 COMMANDERS AND I SEE SEVERAL POSTINGS ON THIS WEBSITE ALONE OF THE SAME ISSUE. IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE SERIOUSLY INJURED. PLEASE MAKE THEM STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND OWN UP TO THIS BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE FOR SOMEONE. I WILL NEVER BELIEVE IT IS ACTUALLY FIXED AND THEY MAKE US DRIVE IT UNTIL IT SO BAD THAT THEY CAN MAKE IT STALL. IN THE MEAN TIME, WE ARE IN DANGER DAILY. PLEASE HELP US AND ADVISE US HOW TO GET OUT OF THIS VEHICLE AND INTO A SAFE ONE FOR MY FAMILY. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY
A FEW MONTHS AGO THE INTERIOR DOOR TRIM ON THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT DOOR SHATTERED AROUND THE DOOR HANDLE. THE DOOR HANDLE STILL RELEASES THE DOOR BUT YOU NEED TO WIGGLE IT AROUND A BIT AND GET IT ALIGNED PROPERLY BEFORE BEING ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR. NOT DRIVING THE VEHICLE OFTEN AND THINKING IT WAS JUST A SMALL, EASILY REPLACED PART I DID NOT TAKE IT TOO SERIOUSLY. IT WAS ONLY WHEN I LOOKED INTO IT, REALIZED IT WAS THE WHOLE DOOR PANEL AND SAW THAT SO MANY OTHER OWNERS WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM THAT I DECIDED TO REPORT IT. AS A FIREFIGHTER, AND HAVING RESPONDED TO FATAL CAR FIRES, I WOULD HATE TO THINK OF WHAT MAY HAPPEN IF SOMEONE WAS TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT AND HAD TO GET OUT OF THEIR VEHICLE QUICKLY BUT COULDN'T BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT AFFORD TO FIX THIS ISSUE WHICH COSTS IN EXCESS OF $500 PER DOOR. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
2006 JEEP COMMANDER DOES NOT START. WE HAVE TO TRY ABOUT 30 TIMES SOMETIMES TO GET IT TO START. IT JUST MAKES A CLICKING NOISE. ALSO THE JEEP COMMANDER WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING. (VERY DANGEROUS) ESPECIALLY WITH TWO KIDS. ANOTHER PROBLEM IS IT GETS STUCK IN LOW GEAR OR 4X4 (NOT SURE WHICH). I HAVE READ COMPLAINT AFTER COMPLAINT ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THESE SAME PROBLEMS WITH MANY MANY 2006 COMMANDERS. I AM VERY DISPLEASED WITH HOW JEEP HAS SWEPT THESE PROBLEMS UNDER THE CARPET. YES, THEY HAVE HAD A FEW RECALLS, BUT NOTHING TO FIX THESE VERY SERIOUS AND VERY DANGEROUS DEFECTS. PLEASE HELP, AS WE SPENT A GOOD AMOUNT OF MONEY ON WHAT WE THOUGHT AND NEEDED TO BE A RELIABLE VEHICLE. IT IS NOT RELIABLE AT ALL. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
THE INTERIOR ELECTRICAL LIGHTING SYSTEMS OFTEN GOES OUT WHILE DRIVING IN BELOW FREEZING TEMPERATURES. THIS INCLUDES ALL SPEEDOMETER, TACHOMETER, AND DASH LIGHTS FOR ALL CONTROLS. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW IN FEBRUARY 2007. AFTER FIVE YEARS, THE LED LIGHTS ILLUMINATING THE SWITCHES FOR THE FAN SPEED, TEMPERATURE CONTROL, AND HEATED SEATS. I REPORTED THIS UNDER WARRANTY BUT NOW I AM TOLD I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIR. THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT FIND THE ELECTRICAL FAULT. THE LED SWITCH BULBS CANNOT SIMPLY BE REPLACED AS THE ENTIRE UNIT FOR EACH CONTROL MUST BE REPLACED. THE ENGINE WAS MAKING A PINGING SOUND AND THE DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED IT WRONG 3 TIMES. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY WHEN FIRST REPORTED. MANY MONTHS LATER AFTER WARRANTY LAPSED THE DEALERSHIP'S CORRECTIVE FIX WAS REPLACING ONE SIDE OF THE ENGINE'S HYDRAULIC LIFTERS. THIS MADE THE PROBLEM A BIT BETTER BUT DID NOT RESOLVE IT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE STALLS AND DRIVER LOSES COMMAND OF ACCELERATOR, POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. HAPPENS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS BUT OBVIOUSLY MOST DANGEROUS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. WHEN VEHICLE LOSES POWER, ALL GEAR INDICATORS LIGHT UP ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE VEHICLE INFORMATION SYSTEM DISPLAY READS "SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM" AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARS. RECOMMENDED DEALER REPAIR IS THE REPLACEMENT OF THE "ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE". THIS TEMPORARILY SOLVES THE PROBLEM BUT RECURS WITHIN A FEW THOUSAND MILES. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES WERE POORLY DESIGNED AND HAVE ALL CRACKED ONLY AFTER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME WITH NORMAL USE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO THE FACT THAT PASSENGERS WOULD HAVE DIFFICULTY EXITING VEHICLE IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS VEHICLE. I'VE READ NUMEROUS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS. CHRYSLER DOES SEEM TO WANT RECOGNIZE THIS AS MANUFACTURING/DESIGN FLAW, WHICH IS UNFORTUNATE SINCE IT IS RATHER COSTLY TO REPLACE THE DOOR HANDLES. TO REPLACE ALL FOUR WOULD COST $2,000 PLUS DOLLARS. PLEASE DO SOMETHING TO PROTECT THE CUSTOMERS, WHO DESERVE BETTER. *TR

THE DAIMLER CHRYSLER WARRANTY COMPANY TOLD ME IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY RECALL, BUT THIS WOULD BE A DEFECT IN THE SEAT BELTS NOT LOCKING INTO BELTS CLASPS AND NOT PLASTIC IS COMING OFF, AND MY KIDS ARE COMING OUT OF THE SEATBELTS, ALMOST ENDING UP IN A WRECK BACK IN 2007, REP FROM WARRANTY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR SEATBELTS TO BE LOOKED AT. I AM UNABLE TO SECURELY PUT MY KIDS IN THE BACK SEATS NOW. I AM RESEARCHING RECALLS NOW AND SEEN I CAN MAKE A FORMAL COMPLAINT. *TR

THE HEADLIGHTS BEGIN TO FLASH ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. THE LIGHTS WITHIN THE INSTRUMENT CONTROL PANEL ARE NOT ILLUMINATED AND FLASH AS WELL. I HAVE TO MANUALLY TURN THE LIGHTS OFF THEN TURN THEM BACK ON NUMEROUS TIMES TO GET THE FLASHING TO STOP. IT IS A VERY SCARY, DANGEROUS, AND EMBARRASSING PROBLEM WHEN IT HAPPENS. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR A FEW YEARS NOW. THE DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THERE ARE NO RECALLS OR WARRANTIES RELATED TO THE FAILURE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ABOUT 9 TIMES OVER THE LAST 3 YEARS, MY JEEP COMMANDER 2007 LIMITED V8 HAS STALLED WHILE MOVING CAUSING THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS INCLUDING LIGHTS, RADIO, DASHBOARD PANEL, ETC TO MOMENTARILY TURN OFF. EACH TIME, THE STALL IS ACCOMPANIED BY A LOUD "CLUNKING" NOISE. IN EACH INSTANCE I HAVE BEEN TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE 60+ MPH. I AM ABLE TO RESTART EVERYTIME BY EITHER PULLING OVER OR PUTTING THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL, RESTARTING THE ENGINE, AND THEN PUTTING IT BACK INTO DRIVE WHILE MOVING. I HAVE DISCUSSED THIS WITH THE DEALERSHIP ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO UNLESS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON WHICH HAS NEVER OCCURRED. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO BOTH OF THE PRIMARY DRIVERS OF THE VEHICLE, AND THE IGNITION SWITCH HAS NEVER BEEN ACCIDENTALLY TURNED OFF. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
DURING ACCELERATION THROTTLE BECAME STUCK. VEHICLE STARTED INCREASING IN SPEED WITHOUT THE PEDAL BEING DEPRESSED. I INITIALLY HELD ON THE BRAKES FOR 3 CONSECUTIVE COMPRESSIONS WITHOUT ANY NOTICEABLE DECREASE IN SPEED OR RPM. SHIFTED CAR TO LOWER GEAR ALONG WITH BRAKES, STILL RPM AND SPEED WAS INCREASING. PLAN B WAS TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND LET THE ENGINE BLOW OR SHUT VEHICLE OFF WHILE DRIVING ON BUSY HIGHWAY. IN THE MIDST OF GOING THROUGH THESE ACTIONS VEHICLE STOPPED ACCELERATING. GOING TO DEALER FIRST THING MONDAY MORNING, GOD ONLY KNOWS WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF MY WIFE AND KIDS WERE IN THIS VEHICLE WHEN THIS NEGLIGENT, UNSAFE, HAZARD OCCURRED. THIS IS TOTALLY UNCALLED FOR IN A BASICALLY BRAND NEW VEHICLE, ME, MY SON AND THE INNOCENT PEDESTRIANS ALONG THE HIGHWAY WERE IN JEOPARDY WHEN THIS SAFETY INCIDENT OCCURRED. *TR
