TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER 4X2. WATER DRAINS IN FROM THE SUNROOF, DOWN INTO THE DASHBOARD, AND THEN ONTO THE FRONT AND REAR CARPET. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE CAN HEAR THE WATER WHILE DRIVING. THE COILS UNDERNEATH BOTH FRONT SEATS HAVE RUSTED DUE TO THE WATER ENTERING THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT DOES NOT KNOW WHAT KIND OF DAMAGE THE WATER HAS CAUSED TO THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. HE STATED THAT THERE ARE TWO DRAINS ON EACH SIDE OF THE SUNROOF, AND THEY ARE NOT DRAINING THE WATER PROPERLY. THE FIRST TIME THE DRIVER'S SIDE DRAIN FAILED, THE DEALER STATED THAT A BUG WAS STUCK IN THE DRAIN. THE SECOND TIME, THE DEALER STATED THAT DIRTY RAIN WATER WAS IN THE PASSENGER DRAIN. IN ADDITION, THE AIR CONDITIONER FAN HAS BEGUN TO FLUTTER. THIS FAILURE HAS OCCURRED TWICE. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE SUNROOF DURING THE FIRST VISIT, AND THE CONTACT MADE THE REPAIR THE SECOND TIME.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
2006 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CAR STALLS USUALLY WHEN TURNING, HOWEVER IT HAS DONE IT AT A RED LIGHT. CAR IS POWERLESS (BRAKES, STEERING, ETC) AND CONTINUES MOVING UNTIL THE KEY IS PULLED OUT OF THE IGNITION. IT HAS OCCURRED AT LEAST 10 TIMES, MOST OF WHICH HAVE BEEN TURNING AT LIGHTS WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. LUCKILY, ACCIDENTS WERE AVOIDED. NOTHING WAS DONE TO CORRECT THIS FAILURE, AFTER BEING REPORTED REPEATEDLY TO HENDERSON CHRYSLER JEEP. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THEY CANNOT "DUPLICATE" THE PROBLEM; *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
DRIVING ON HWY 51 IN TULSA. MY 2008 JEEP COMMANDER STALLED AT 55-60 MPH. COASTED TO AN OFF RAMP, PUT IN PARK AND IT RESTARTED. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP IN BROKEN ARROW, OK. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME I HAVE TO HAVE A CODE READING BEFORE THEY CAN DO ANYTHING, AND BECAUSE IT WAS THE FIRST TIME IT MAY NOT PRODUCE A CODE, IF SO, THEY COULD DO NOTHING AND GOOD LUCK. I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW AND IT HAS ONLY 2000 MILES. *TR

STRUCTURE
2006 JEEP COMMANDER THE IGNITION KEY IS LOCATED AT KNEE HEIGHT AND PERPENDICULAR TO THE DASH. I HAVE ACCIDENTALLY TURNED OFF THE CAR WHILE DRIVING AT LEAST THREE TIMES. THIS OCCURS WHEN MOVING THE RIGHT KNEE SIDE TO SIDE. BECAUSE THE KEY IS HORIZONTALLY LOCATED IT ROTATES WITH LITTLE FORCE IF STRIKING THE DANGLING KEYS WITH THE KNEE. A PROPER DESIGN WOULD BE HAVING THE IGNITION ON THE STEERING COLUMN, OR HAVING A SLIGHT SUPERIOR ANGLE TO THE KEY IGNITION. THIS IS EASILY REPRODUCED ON ALL COMMANDER VEHICLES. *TR

WE OWN A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER THAT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FROM THE FIRST MONTH WE OWNED IT. THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN MY WIFE AND 3 CHILDREN WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AT 65 MPH. THE VEHICLE HAS CONSISTENTLY EXPERIENCED THE SAME CHALLENGE AT LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS. IN ADDITION, WE HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR ISSUES AS OTHER OWNERS SUCH AS; TRANSMISSION NOISES AND SLIPPAGE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURES, EXCESSIVE BREAK NOISE, BREAK WEAR, EXCESSIVE CRACKING IN WINDSHIELD, SEATBELT FAILURE, WINDOW LEAKS, STEREO REPLACEMENT AND MORE! IN THE LAST 9 MONTHS THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR MORE THAN 6 TIMES FOR SIMILAR ISSUES. THE DEALER, AS WITH OTHER CUSTOMERS HAS CLAIMED THEY "CAN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM..." AND SENT US ON OUR WAY. I HAVE NOW EMBARKED UPON HAVING THE VEHICLE BOUGHT BACK BY THE MANUFACTURER AND WILL ALSO BEGIN A FORMAL LEGAL CASE TO ENSURE OTHER OWNERS RECEIVE RETRIBUTION. THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS AND THE MANUFACTURER IS AWARE OF THESE PROBLEMS, YOU ARE NOT CRAZY AND THE DEALERS ARE COVERING IT UP! *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
2007 JEEP COMMANDER. SIX MONTHS AFTER THE PURCHASE OF A NEW JEEP COMMANDER THE JEEP STARTED LOSING POWER AND STALLING. IT DIDN'T MATTER WHAT SPEED THE JEEP WAS GOING. IT HAS STALLED AND LOST POWER AND ALL ELECTRONICS PULLING INTO TRAFFIC AND CRUISING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. THE JEEP WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE JUNCTION BOX WAS REPLACED. NUMEROUS TESTS WERE COMPLETED BUT NO DEFINITIVE REASON WAS FOUND FOR THE STALLING. I WAS TOLD THE JEEP WAS FIXED. THE JEEP HAS SINCE STALLED 3 MORE TIMES, ONE TIME WITH WHEN MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND MY DAUGHTERS AGES 4 AND 7 WERE ONBOARD. THIS TIME, THEY WERE NEARLY HIT BY A TRACTOR TRAILER PULLING OUT OF THE LOCAL GROCERY STORE. THE JEEP HAD TO BE TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT SITS RIGHT NOW. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SEEMS TO THINK IT'S THE IGNITION SWITCH BUT I KNOW BETTER. I'M SEEKING A LEASE BUY OUT BY CHRYSLER AND PLAN TO SUE IF THEY DO NOT TAKE THE JEEP BACK. THIS JEEP IS GOING TO KILL SOMEONE AND I WILL NOT LET IT BE MY WIFE OR CHILDREN. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY BRAKES PULSATE WHEN I PUMP THEM COMING DOWN HILLS. THE DEALERSHIP CONTINUES TO TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY BRAKES. IT IS REALLY BAD WHEN I AM COMING DOWN A MOUNTAIN AND I AM SCARED THAT THEY WILL FAIL ON ME. IT HAS HAPPENED EVERY TIME I'VE TRAVELED TO SEE MY DAUGHTER IN COLLEGE IN THE MOUNTAINS. I'VE TRIED GOING VERY SLOW AND PUMPING AS TO NOT PICK UP SPEED. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
PROBLEM WITH MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER ENGINE STALLING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 3-4 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AND HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY IN A PARKING LOT. THE ENGINE JUST COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN AND NOTHING WORKS, INCLUDING THE STEERING. EACH TIME IT HAS HAPPENED I HAVE BEEN GOING AT A SLOW SPEED. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MY DEALER WHO SAYS THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT ( BOB SCHWARTZ-BUNKER HILL INDIANA).I AM GOING TO TAKE IT IN AGAIN TO SEE IF THEY CAN POSSIBLY FIX THIS PROBLEM NOW SINCE THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER COMMANDER OWNERS COMPLAIN. I AM REALLY AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE NOW ESPECIALLY WITH MY KIDS. IF JEEP IS AWARE OF THESE COMPLAINTS, THEY NEED TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THE 2006 & 2007 MODELS ALSO INSTEAD OF JUST THE 2008. IF THIS WOULD HAPPEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, IT WOULD HAVE POSSIBLY BEEN DEADLY!!! PLEASE HELP. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER HAS STALLED WITH ME SEVERAL TIMES. THE SCARIEST WHEN I WAS TURNING INTO A MIDDLE SCHOOL DRIVEWAY AND IT JUST SHUT OFF LEAVING ME WITHOUT ANY BRAKES OR STEERING. IT HAS ALSO STALLED SEVERAL TIMES AT THE END OF MY DRIVEWAY. BUT THE WORSE PROBLEM IS FOR THE SECOND TIME IN 4 MONTHS IT WILL NOT START. LAST TIME IT WAS A TIP FAILURE. SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE START UP MODULE. THIS WAS IN JAN. 23 08. NOW, APRIL 21, 2008 IT HAS DONE IT AGAIN. LAST TIME IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND I HAVE CALLED A TOW TRUCK THIS TIME TOO. IT IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY BUT WITH ONLY 3000 MILES TO GO. I AM WORRIED THIS PART WILL CONTINUE TO BREAK. I AM AFRAID I WILL BE ALONE AND THE CAR WILL NOT CRANK SOMEWHERE. THIS IS NOT SAFE. YOU MUST BE ABLE TO DEPEND ON YOUR VEHICLE STARTING. THE LAST TIME IT WAS REPAIRED WITH PART NUMBER 4692084-AB B;LCI NON 8015009 WHATEVER ALL THAT MEANS. IT WAS RUN WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS SINCE THAT REPAIR UNTIL TODAY. FORTUNATELY IT BROKE DOWN IN MY CARPORT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY DOING APPROX 112 KM/HR WHEN MY VEHICLE A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER LOST ALL POWER, ALL SYSTEMS WENT COMPLETELY DEAD FOR APPROX 5 SECONDS, JUST AS I STARTED TO PANIC EVERYTHING STARTED UP AGAIN. MY YOUNG DAUGHTER AND I WERE SCARED DRIVING THE REST OF THE WAY HOME WORRIED IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED IT FROM ST. ALBERT DODGE JEEP AND BOOKED IT IN FOR A CHECK. THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD FIND NOTHING AND THAT THEY HAD NOT HEARD OF ANY SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THESE VEHICLES. I TOLD THEM I WAS NOT PICKING IT UP UNTIL IT WAS RESOLVED AS I HAVE 4 YOUNG CHILDREN AND DO NOT WANT THE VEHICLE DYING ON ME AGAIN WHILE DRIVING. AT THIS POINT I WENT ONLINE TO SEE WHAT I COULD FIND AND WAS SHOCKED TO DISCOVER THAT 76 OTHER COMPLAINTS HAD BEEN LODGED NHTSA ACTION NUMBER EA07007. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THEY KNEW NOTHING ABOUT THIS AND FOR ME TO BRING IN THE INFORMATION WHEN I PICK UP MY VEHICLE. *TR
