STRUCTURE, STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
BASICALLY THE DOOR HANDLE MECHANISMS DISINTEGRATED. THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT AND REAR DOOR PLASTIC THAT SURROUNDS THE DOOR HANDLES BROKE INTO SEVERAL SMALL PIECES AND FELL INSIDE THE DOOR. I FEEL THIS IS A DANGER BECAUSE EVENTUALLY THE CABLE THAT OPENS THE DOORS WILL BREAK AND I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO OPEN THE DOORS. I HAVE CHECKED INTO HAVING THEM REPAIRED BUT IT WAS VERY EXPENSIVE DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE PLASTIC AROUND THE HANDLES IS 1 PIECE WITH THE REST OF THE PLASTIC OF THE INSIDE OF THE DOOR. ALSO, ALTHOUGH THIS IS NOT A DANGER - THE DISPLAY SCREEN FOR ALL THE OF ELECTRONICS OF THE CAR, WENT BLACK SEVERAL YEARS AGO. I AM UNABLE TO ACCESS A LOT OF THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE CAR. WE PAID OVER $43,000 FOR THE CAR - THESE THINGS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. THE DOOR HANDLE REALLY SCARES ME. I HAVE SIGNED PETITIONS TO HAVE THIS RECALLED AS WELL AS CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER. IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. THANK YOU *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
LESS THEN TWO WEEKS AFTER THE PURCHASE OF THE 2006 COMMANDER (PURCHASED ON 8/10), THE DASH STARTED TO FLICKER OFF AND ON AT RANDOM TIMES - SLOW AND FAST. AS I WOULD DRIVE IT WOULD GET WORSE AND I WOULD LOSE RPM, MPH, LIGHTS AT NIGHT, WIPERS DURING STORMS, RADIO, AIR, HEAT, DEFROST, ALL DASH WARNINGS FLASHING ON AND OFF, ETC. THE DASH WOULD GO BLACK AND THEN THE CAR WOULD STALL. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS ON A HWY GOING 65 AND HAD TO DRIFT TO THE SIDE WITHOUT KILLING MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE. I STARTED THE CAR BACK UP WITH NO PROBLEM. TWO HOURS LATER I WAS AT A STOP SIGN AND IT DID THE SAME THING. 8/27/14 TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT. THE THIRD TIME IT SURGED, I WAS IN A STORM CROSSING OVER A TWO LANE BRIDGE - DASH FLASHING, LIGHTS/DEFROST/RADIO/WIPERS ON AND OFF, AND THEN NOTHING BUT DARKNESS AND CAR STALLED - I HAD NOWHERE TO GO. I LOST ALL CONTROL WITH THE CAR AND ONLY GOING 35MPH. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO HIGH POINT OF THE BRIDGE WITH PASSING CARS BEEPING AND FLASHING THEIR LIGHTS AT ME. I STARTED THE CAR AND HAD THE REPEAT EXPERIENCE THREE MORE TIMES BEFORE GETTING HOME USING THE EMERGENCY BREAK - BRAKES LOCK WHEN CAR STALLS. 9/20/14 I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT. I WAS DRIVING 35 ON A HIGHWAY AND IT STARTED AGAIN AND I DECIDED TO TAPE THE ACTIVITY WITH MY PHONE - DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING BUT HAD TO SHOW SOMEONE WHAT WAS GOING ON - DEALER TOLD ME THEY COULD GET ME IN TO LOOK AT IT IN 4 DAYS. 10/13/14 DEALER PUTS ME IN A JUNK CAR AND SAYS THEY ARE GOING TO FIX IT AND WANTS ME TO BE SAFE. THINKS IT IS A RECALL. LOVE THE CAR BUT DON'T WANT TO DIE IN IT BECAUSE OF AN ELECTRICAL SURGE. MY CONCERN IS THAT THESE COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN COMING IN SINCE 2007 AND IT IS JUST NOW GETTING ATTENTION. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I WISH I WOULD HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH BEFORE BUYING THE CAR, SHAME ON ME. *TR

POWER TRAIN
MY VEHICLE IS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER THAT I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH EVEN THOUGH IT ONLY HAS ABOUT 78,000 MILES. I WAS DRIVING DOWN A RESIDENTIAL STREET WHEN IT STALLED AND AFTER I CUT OFF THE ENGINE TO RESTART IT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT TURN OVER. I HAD IT TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE CONTROL RELAY MODULE THAT WAS NOT COMMUNICATING EFFECTIVELY. I HAVE HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED, ALL THE RECALLS DONE, AND MANY OTHER THINGS. THIS IS SO UNSAFE AND RIDICULOUS. ITS NEARLY $1,000 TO HAVE THIS PART REPLACED, BUT BECAUSE IT IS SUCH A COMMON ISSUE IT IS ON BACK ORDER. CHRYSLER SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECTIVE ITEMS THEY PRODUCE AND SELL TO CUSTOMERS WHO BEAR THE BRUNT OF HAVING A BARELY DRIVABLE, MONEY PIT. *TR

POWER TRAIN, SERVICE BRAKES, AIR BAGS
MY CAR CUT OUT AT 65 MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I LOST MY POWER BRAKES AND STEERING. ADDITIONALLY I LOST MY AIRBAGS. THIS IS THE 12TH TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED. I CALLED JEEP AND ASKED FOR A LOANER OR RENTAL TILL THIS IS RESOLVED BECAUSE THERE IS NO FIX AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT. I HAVE NOTHING ON MY KEY RING THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THIS PROBLEM AND MY KNEE IS 8 INCHES FROM THE IGNITION SO I KNOW I DID NOT BUMP IT WITH MY KNEE. JEEP WILL NOT WORK WITH ME AND STATE IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE AND I SHOULD BE CAREFUL AND TRY NOT TO HIT ANY BUMPS. *TR
