ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. I WAS DRIVING MY 7 YEAR OLD SON TO CAMP. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 45 MPH ON A 2 LANE ROAD. SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT ANY WARNING THE ENGINE, AS WELL AS ALL ELECTRICAL ITEMS COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. I ALSO LOST ALL ASSIST FUNCTIONS. WHEN I WAS APPLYING THE BRAKES I GOT THE NOISE THAT USUALLY YOU HEAR WHEN THE ABS SYSTEM HAS TAKEN CONTROL. AFTER PULLING TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD I RESTARTED THE CAR AND THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER DROPPING MY SON OFF I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE CAR. I HAD NO INSTRUMENT PANEL FUNCTIONS (GAS GAUGE, WATER TEMP, ODOMETER, ETC.). I WILL BE TAKING THE CAR IN TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 7/5/2007 FOR ANALYSIS.

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD
WITHIN 500 MILES OF OWNING A NEW 2006 JEEP COMMANDER, A SMALL STONE GLANCED OFF THE WINDSHIELD LEAVING A CHIP. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY, THE CHIP BEGAN TO RUN. A FEW DAYS LATER, SOME MUD WAS FLICKED UP BY A LAWNMOWER SHATTERING THE WINDOW IN A NUMBER OF PLACES. FUNNY THING IS, THE PAINT STOOD UP TO THE THROWN MUD BUT THE WINDSHIELD SHATTERED. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I RECENTLY PURCHASED A NEW 2006 JEEP COMMANDER LIMITED. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS LESS THAN 6000 MILES. OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS THE JEEP HAS UNEXPECTEDLY STALLED AT LEAST 7 TIMES. ONE PARTICULAR STALL HAPPENED WHILE PULLING INTO A BUSY STREET AND NEARLY RESULTED IN A COLLISION. I WANT TO RETURN THE VEHICLE BUT THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT TAKE IT BACK. I PURCHASED THE JEEP FOR MY WIFE TO DRIVE AND SHE TAKES OUR 2 CHILDREN WITH HER IN THE VEHICLE. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THEM BEING INJURED OR MORE EVEN MORE SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES AS A RESULT OF THE JEEP STALLING. MY GOAL IS TO RECEIVE A FULL REFUND OR TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPLACED WITH SAME MAKE, MODEL, ETC WITH AN ENGINE THAT IS MECHANICALLY SOUND AND DOES NOT STALL. WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS?

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD
THERE IS A DESIGN PROBLEM WITH THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. IN THE LAST THREE WEEKS I HAVE GOTTEN THREE HITS TO THE WINDSHIELD WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY. ALL THREE WERE BELOW THE WIPER LINE. THE FIRST ONE RESULTED IN AN IMMEDIATE CRACK WHICH WA S NOW A FOOT LONG. BEFORE I HAD A CHANCE TO REPAIR THAT I RECEIVED ANOTHER STONE HIT. THIS ONE ALSO CRACKED IMMEDIATELY, AND WAS ABOUT 8" LONG. THIS THIRD HIT HAPPENED THIS MORNING AND COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS. THE HIT WAS AGAIN BELOW THE WIPER BLADE ,BUT THIS TIME THE WINDSHIELD SHATTERED AND BLEW SMALL GLASS PIECES INSIDE THE VEHICLE. IF IT WOULD HAVE BEEN 6 MORE INCHES TO THE LEFT I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN HIT IN THE FACE. AS IT WAS I GOT HIT IN THE ARM, AND HAD GLASS DUST AND SHARDS ALL OVER THE DASHBOARD AND PASSENGER SEAT. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE NOW.*AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
NOT SO MUCH A COMPLAINT BUT A STATEMENT CAR DIED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON DUE TO MY KNEE STRIKING THE IGNITION KEY, TURNING IT BACK TO THE ACCESSORY" POSITION AS I MOVED MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO FLAT ON THE FLOOR. THIS WAS SIMPLY OPERATOR ERROR ON MY PART. I' READ THE OTHER COMPLAINTS ON ENGINE DYING, AND ALMOST DIDN'T PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE DUE TO THOSE, BUT UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION ON MY PART I FELT FAIRLY SURE REPORTED PROBLEMS COULD BE OPERATOR ERROR RATHER THAN AN ACTUAL ELECTRICAL ISSUE. THIS WAS ONLY MY OPINION BUY BASED ON MY ACTUAL LIFE EXPERIENCE, THE CAR DIED WHILE GOING ON THE ROAD WAS DUE TO MY OWN ACTION. I WILL NOTE THAT I HAD ZERO PROBLEMS CONTROLLING THE CAR AFTER THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. I SIMPLY STEERED OVER TO THE SHOULDER, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTARTED IT. I PROBABLY COULD HAVE JUST AS EASILY PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND RESTARTED IT WHILE COASTING ON THE ROAD. IF OTHERS GET TO VOICE THEIR COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE I FEEL I SHOULD BE ALLOWED THIS STATEMENT ON THAT SAME TYPE OF EVENT SO THAT CONSUMERS INVESTIGATING THIS VEHICLE CAN MAKE MORE OF AN INFORMED DECISION ABOUT PURCHASING ONE. ADDITIONALLY, MY SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM WAS TO SIMPLY MOVE MY SEAT BACK; I AM 6'3" AND I WAS SIMPLY UNNECESSARILY CROWDING MYSELF. I WILL ALSO POINT OUT THAT WE HAD JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR 2 DAYS AGO, SO STILL GETTING USE TO IT.*AK
