MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER DRIVER'S DOOR HANDLES BREAK - 3 OF THE 4 HAVE BROKEN AFTER NOTHING BUT NORMAL EVERYDAY USE. IF YOU'RE IN A WRECK YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE IF THE HANDLES ARE BROKEN. CHECKING THE WEB FOR CONSUMER'S THAT HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THE JEEP COMMANDER DOOR HANDLES BREAKING AND FINDING OUT THERE ARE HUNDREDS IF NOT A COUPLE THOUSAND THAT HAVE HAD THE EXACT SAME BREAKAGE OF THE DOOR HANDLE OPERATING MECHANISM. IF YOU TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE JEEP DEALER FOR REPAIR, THEY WANT $600.00 - $800.00 PER DOOR TO ENSURE YOUR SAFETY IN EXITING THE VEHICLE. DESCRIBING WHAT HAPPENS WITH YOUR VEHICLE: IT IS JUST EVERYDAY ORDINARY OPERATIONAL USE AS TO WHEN THE DRIVER OR PASSENGERS ON THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND "NORMALLY "PULL" THE HANDLE TO OPEN THE DOOR AND EXIT THE VEHICLE THAT THE HANDLE AND HANDLE HOUSING BREAKS INTO PIECES. THIS BREAKAGE HAPPENS TO ALL THE DOOR HANDLES (FRONT & REAR) IN THE 2006 JEEP COMMANDER.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE VEHICLE ENGINE SHUTS OFF; AIRBAG LIGHT FLASHES ON AS WELL AS DASH LIGHTS. THIS HAS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 10 TIMES IN THE MIDDLE OF A EIGHT LANE HIGHWAY IN RUSH HOUR. IT HAS TORN MY NERVES ALL TO PIECES TRYING TO DRIVE IT UNDER THESE CONDITIONS SO I HAD TO PARK IT AND BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE. NEED ACTION SOON. STARTED APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS AGO AND HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. NOTIFIED CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD TO REMOVE ALL KEYS FROM RING EXCEPT SWITCH KEY; DID THAT AND IT STILL HAPPENS

CHRYSLER ISSUED A SAFETY RECALL P41 / NHTSA 14V-438 AND SENT NOTIFICATION IN JUNE OF 2014. 15 MONTHS HAVE PASSED AND I HAVE BEEN CALLING PERIODICALLY. I WAS INFORMED THE MANUFACTURER IS NOT YET MAKING THE PART. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE VEHICLE CAN INTERMITTENTLY SHUT DOWN DURING OPERATION. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE AND TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER FOR INVESTIGATION PRIOR TO RECEIVING THE RECALL NOTICE. TO HAVE SUCH AN ISSUE, NOTIFY OWNERS AND THEN NOT BE ABLE TO PROVIDE A RESOLUTION OR AN ANTICIPATED DATE IS UNACCEPTABLE.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHEN DRIVING CAR AT NIGHT THE DASH LIGHTING AND THE HEAD LIGHTS WENT DARK FOR 5 MINUTES AND CAME BACK ON, DRIVER HAD TO PULL OVER AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT DUE TO NO LIGHTING. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN THE PAST 3 WEEKS VERY CONCERNING. HEADLIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTING SHOULD NOT GO BAD BEFORE THE POWER TRAIN ON ANY CAR BUILT EVER.THANK GOD THE PERSON DRIVING WAS CALM ENOUGH TO HANDLE THE DISTRACTION.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I CURRENTLY OWN A 2006 COMMANDER. I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH DASH LIGHT SHUTOFFS SINCE 2009, JUST RECENTLY THE VEHICLE HAS STARTED TO DO EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL HAS STATED THAT IT WILL DO. THE DASH COMPONENTS WILL GO FROM ON TO OFF AND THEN BACK ON. THE WARNING LIGHTS WILL ALL COME ON AND THEN OFF AGAIN WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAN MOTOR FOR THE HEATER IS NOW STARTING TO CUT IN AND OUT IN UNISON WITH ALL THE INDICATOR LIGHTS. RIGHT NOW IT IS ONLY THE LIGHTS BUT AT SOME TIME THE IGNITION IS GOING TO SHUT OFF LEAVING MYSELF IN A SITUATION THAT I CANNOT CONTROL WITH NO STEERING OR BRAKES TO SAFELY GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AT THIS POINT I CAN HIT THE DASH TO THE RIGHT OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND IT COMES BACK ON BUT HOW LONG CAN I DO THIS. THIS VEHICLE IS DEFINITELY A LEMON. SEPT 20, 2015

I DRIVE 26 MILES ONE WAY TO WORK AND THEN THE SAME BACK HOME. ON MY WAY TO WORK SEPTEMBER 9, 2015 I WAS DRIVING 40 MPH AND PUTTING ON CRUISE CONTROL AND IT REVVED UP TO 7 RPMS AND I WAS DOING 95 WITHIN ABOUT 20 SECONDS. I AM UNABLE TO USE CRUISE CONTROL BECAUSE INSTANTLY IT REVS UP AND I AM A DANGER TO THOSE ON THE ROAD. SO FAR NOTHING HAPPENS WHEN THE CRUISE CONTROL IS OFF. IT HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY. IT SHOULD BE PUT ON THE RECALL LIST AS THIS IS DEADLY ON THE FREEWAY.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
DASH LIGHTS AND GAUGES BEGAN FLICKERING AND ON / OFF. EVENTUALLY OVER A PERIOD OF MONTHS, ALL VEHICLE LIGHTS BEGAN OCCASIONAL GOING ON AND OFF COMPLETELY. THIS INCLUDED HEAD LIGHTS, TAIL LIGHTS, DASH LIGHTS. BEGAN DOING THIS MORE AND MORE OFTEN. DO A LOT OF MECHANICAL WORK MYSELF. SAW THAT THIS WAS A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM WITH JEEPS AS REPORTED ON THE INTERNET. CAUSE WAS A FAULTY LIGHT CONTROL SWITCH ON THE STEERING COLUMN. BOUGHT A NEW CONTROL ARM/SWITCH FOR ABOUT $130. AND INSTALLED IT MYSELF. PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE REPAIRED NOW. SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL FOR THESE SWITCHES IN LOSING ALL INSIDE AND OUTSIDE LIGHTS WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. HAVE CHECKED AROUND AND DO NOT SEE ANY RECALL AS OF YET FOR THIS PROBLEM.
