THE DOOR HANDLE HAS COMPLETELY BROKEN OFF THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. THERE WAS NO ABUSE TO THIS DOOR AT ALL. I HAVE SEARCHED FOR A REPLACEMENT PART AND THE DESIGN REQUIRES THAT THE ENTIRE DOOR PANEL BE REPLACED. THIS WAS CHANGED THE FOLLOWING MODEL YEAR AS CHRYSLER KNEW IT WAS A MAJOR DEFECT. THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR OWNERS OF THIS YEAR & MODEL OF JEEP. *TR

I HAD A FEARFUL INCIDENT AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE PASSING LANE IN MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER GOING APPROX. 60 MILES PER HOUR. WHEN SUDDENLY MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL , IT REMAINED AT 60 MILES AN HOUR FOR ABOUT A MILE WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC ON ALL SIDES OF ME. AN ALERT WAS DISPLAYED VERY QUICKLY STATING SERVICE PARKING ASSIST SYSTEM AND MY PANEL HIGHLIGHTED ALL GEARS AT ONCE. I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN AND GET OFF THE HIGHWAY. I TOOK ALL THE SIDE ROADS TO GET HOME AND MY JEEP BEGAN TO HESITATE LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL ON ME. THE NEXT DAY MY ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND REMAINED ON AND LEFT ME STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY . I CONTACTED MY DEALER TO GET IT IN FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE WAS BAD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I HAD PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE MODULE WAS NOT A COVERED PART. THE ESTIMATED PRICE WAS $1025. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY ABOUT TO GO OVER A BRIDGE WHEN THE DASHBOARD LIGHT STARTING BLINKING ON AND OFF. THE CAR THEN STALLED AND I LOST ALL FUNCTIONS OF THE VEHICLE, I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO PULL OVER WITH OUT INCIDENT. THE CAR THEN DID START RIGHT BACK UP. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS AND COMPONENTS TO BLINK 2 OTHER TIMES SINCE (TAKING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL THIS MORNING IS THE MOST RECENT TIME). LUCKILY THE CAR DID NOT STALL THESE OTHER TIMES. HOWEVER, WHEN IT BEGINS TO HAPPEN I CANNOT START FREAKING OUT THAT MY CAR IS GOING TO ALL OF A SUDDEN SHUT DOWN. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
THE "PRND" GEARS LIT UP WITH BOXES AROUND THEM - THE "SERVICE PARKING ASSIST BRAKE" CAME ON AS WELL.... I COULD NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL AFTER THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN - HAD TO TURN ON HAZARD LIGHTS AND TURN VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON - WORKED FINE FOR 10 MINUTES OR SO AND THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, IT HAS BEEN ON EVER SINCE. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS THEY ASKED ME TO BRING IT IN FOR DIAGNOSING, BUT HESITANT BECAUSE OF ALL THE SAME KIND OF STORIES THAT I HAVE READ ON THIS ISSUE. GOING TO HAVE TO GIVE IN THOUGH, THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN OF MINE NOW... HAVE NOT SEEN A RECALL FOR THIS EVEN THOUGH SOMEONE CAN CERTAINLY HAVE A DEVASTATING ACCIDENT, NOT WILLING TO TAKE THAT CHANCE... LOVE MY VEHICLE, BUT NOW I HATE THE AGGRAVATION THAT THIS IS CAUSING.. WITH ALL THE HORROR STORIES WITH THE SAME SORT OF ISSUE YOU WOULD THINK THAT JEEP WOULD TAKE CARE OF THIS, I GUESS THAT THIS IS WHY THEY DISCONTINUED THE COMMANDER? *TR

POWER TRAIN
I HAD COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND WHEN I ACCELERATED MY VEHICLE IT STALLED AS I WAS ROUNDING A CORNER. MY ENGINE LIGHT BEGAN TO FLASH. THE PRND LETTERS ON THE DASH ALL LIT UP AND THE SCREEN READ SERVICE PARK ASSIST. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN MULTIPLE TIMES WHERE ALL THE LETTERS LIGHT UP AND IT WILL NOT ACCELERATE ON THE HIGHWAY. I CAN USUALLY TELL WHEN IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN BECAUSE IT TENDS TO STRUGGLE ON ACCELERATION. SOMETIMES IT WILL KICK BACK AND THEN LETTERS LIGHT UP. REALLY ANNOYING WHEN IT HAPPENS 4-5 TIMES A DAY. OTHER TIMES IT HAPPENS AS I'M GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE OTHER VEHICLES BEHIND HAVE TO BRAKE FAST DUE TO STALL. VERY DANGEROUS!! *TR

WE OWN A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER . TOOK REAL GOOD CARE OF THIS CAR. IT ONLY HAS 40,000 MILES ON IT AND ALL FOUR OF THE DOOR PANEL HAVE BROKE I MEAN INTO PIECES 3 TO THE POINT THE DOOR LATCH HAS DROPPED DOWN. THE FIRST ONE WAS WHEN I JUST SHUT THE DOOR AND THEN NOTICE A CRACK,AND THEN THE REST DID THE SAME THING I AN CONCERN ABOUT MY GRANDKIDS IN THE BACK,IF THEY NEEDED TO EXIT IN A HURRY THEY COULD NOT. IT TAKES A FEW MINUTES TO GET THE LATCH JUST RIGHT TO OPEN THE DOOR. WE ALSO HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE REAR END FIXES TWICE. ROARING NOISE. EEP DOES NOT SEEM TO WANT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. SO DON'T BUY A JEEP. A BAD FAULT IN CAR DESIGN. *TR
