ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE PROBLEM STARTED IN JANUARY 2019. THE VEHICLE STARTED HAVING IDLING ISSUES, COLD START IN MORNING IDLES AROUND 900, WHEN PUT IN REVERSE IT DIPS TO AROUND 500 AND WOBBLES BACK AND FORTH WHILE BACKING UP, PUT IN DRIVE AND IT WOULD BE OK BUT WOULD STALL SOMETIMES AT STOP SIGN- CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NEVER CAME ON. I HAD THROTTLE BODY CLEANED AND FUEL SYSTEM SERVICE DONE AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SAME DAY. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR RECALLS AND THEY REPLACED THROTTLE BODY ALSO. IT DROVE OK FOR A DAY AND I HAVE THE UNSTABLE IDLE BACK AND THE RPM JUMPS UP WHILE IN DRIVE BUT STOPPED AT A LIGHT. ABOUT A WEEK AGO I AM SLOWING DOWN TO STOP AT A LIGHT AHEAD AND IT STARTS VIBRATING LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL AND THE ETC AND TCS LIGHT CAME ON AND I SHUT IT OFF AND IT CRANKED RIGHT BACK UP AND DROVE IT THE REST OF THE DAY WITH NO ISSUE. ETC LIGHT WILL COME ON WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSE NO ISSUES OTHER THAN THE UNSTABLE IDLE. TODAY-5-10-19, COMING HOME AND START TO TURN LEFT AND ETC AND TCS LIGHT COME ON AND IT SEEMS LIKE IT IS IN LIMP MODE BECAUSE THERE IS A LOSS OF POWER AND ETC LIGHT IS NOW BLINKING, SO I PULL IN A PARKING LOT, CUT IT OFF FOR FIVE MINUTES AND IT CRANKS RIGHT BACK UP WITH NO LIGHTS ON AND I AM ABLE TO DRIVE 5 MILES HOME.

MY CAR LEAKS DURING RAIN FROM THE SUNROOF TO THE BLUE HOSE DRAIN AND FLOODED MY CAR. WHICH MESSED UP THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. I'M HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR SAYING IT'S OVER HEATING BUT IT'S NOT IT'S THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TELLING THE COMPUTER IN CAR THAT IT'S HOW WHEN ITS NOT AND NOW MY TRANSMISSION IS MESSED UP WE THINK. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY AT JEEP DEALER IN CERRITOS, CA FOR 2 DAYS NOW AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHAT WRONG.

THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLES ARE BREAKING APART. MINE HAVE NOT GOTTEN TO WHERE THEY WILL NOT OPERATE YET BUT THEY ARE LOOSE I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF GETTING STUCK IN THE JEEP IF THEY QUIT WORKING. ONLINE THEY ARE AFTERMARKET FIXES FOR THIS PROBLEM WHICH MEANS THERE ARE A LOT OF JEEPS WITH THIS PROBLEM. I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT THIS IS NOT A SAFETY PROBLEM THAT IS BEING OVER LOOKED.

POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
BEGAN EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH STARTING AT ALL AFTER THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL WAS WORKED ON AND RESOLVED. THE JEEP WON'T START AT DIFFERENT TIMES, DIFFERENT WEATHER CONDITIONS. THE PROPER POSITIONING AND THE VEHICLE ACKNOWLEDGING IT BEING IN PARK IS AN ISSUE. THE JEEP REQUIRES PARKING TO BE FORCED -USING THE GEAR LEVER SHIFT FROM DRIVE TO PARK AND LOOK FOR THE JOLT TO INDICATE IT'S IN THE APPROPRIATE GEAR, IN PARK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN WE FIRST GOT THE CAR IT WAS WORKING LIKE ANY NORMAL CAR, HOWEVER, AFTER LESS THAN A MONTH WE STARTED TO NOTICE A LOT OF CHANGE. THE FIRST PROBLEM WE STARTED TO SEE WAS THE WHOLE SCREEN TURNED OFF WE ARE ABLE TO PLAY MUSIC BUT ONLY RADIO STATION THAT WAS SAVED. WE ARE UNABLE TO TUNE/SEEK TO A NEW RADIO STATION. THEN WE STARTED TO NOTICE DURING THE RAINY SEASON THAT WATER WOULD ENTER INTO OUR CAR. AFTER MANY TRIES OF SOLVING THIS ISSUE, IT IS STILL HAPPENING TO OUR CAR. THE SECTION WHERE THE PETALS ARE ALWAYS WET AND WE HAVE CLOSED THE SUNROOF AND THE COVER BUT, NOTHING SEEMS TO WORK. NOW TODAY THE CHECK ENGINE TURN ON AND ALSO THE OIL IN THE DASHBOARD BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL. WE ARE WORRIED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE CAR AND HOPE TO SEE CHANGES SOON FROM YOU. THANK YOU FOR READING THE ISSUE WE CONSTANTLY FACE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SEATS, SUSPENSION
ALL THE LIGHTS ON MY DASH PANEL WENT ON & I LOST POWER OF THE VEHICLE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IT CAME BACK ON THEN OFF & ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER HAS BROKEN INTO A FEW PIECES. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THIS HAPPENS OFTEN TO THESE VEHICLES & BELIEVES THERE IS A RECALL ON THEM. I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE 4 1/2 YRS & THIS IS THE 2ND TIME IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. MY STRUTS HAVE GONE A FEW TIMES ON MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. THE REAR SEATBELT IN THE MIDDLE & DRIVER REAR DON'T LATCH & WHEN THEY DO ITS REALLY TIGHT ON MY DAUGHTER. LASTLY MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THE REAR DOORS BOTH PASSENGER & DRIVER SIDES. THE HANDLES DON'T WORK ALL THE TIME. THEY HAVE BOTH BEEN FIXED 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THEY OPEN WHEN THEY FEEL LIKE IT. THE CHILD LOCK IS NOT ON.

2006 JEEP COMMANDER V8 4.7. I HAVE TWO YOUNG CHILDREN AND THIS IS SERIOUSLY A SAFETY HAZARD THAT JEEP/CHRYSLER WILL NOT ADDRESS OR RECALL. ALMOST ALL 2006 JEEP COMMANDERS HAVE THIS ISSUE AND IT'S VERY DANGEROUS AND A PASSENGER COULD BECOME EASILY TRAPPED INSIDE THE VEHICLE DURING A FIRE/ACCIDENT DUE TO THE DOORS NOT BEING ABLE TO BE OPENED BECAUSE OF THE BROKEN DOOR HANDLES. THE HANDLES ARE NOT A SEPARATE PIECE THAT YOU CAN JUST REPLACE. THE WHOLE ENTIRE DOOR PANEL NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND IT'S VERY COSTLY APPROXIMATELY $500 PER DOOR OR MORE. AND ALL 4 HANDLES ARE BROKEN THIS IS A HASSARD AND OVER 500.00 PER HANDLE TO BE FIXED PROFESSIONAL AND FOR SAFETY IS RIDILOUS ..SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS AND I HAVE SEEN THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE..PAYING GOOD MONEY FOR A VEHICLE AND THIS IS NOT CONSIDERED AN ISSUE THIS IS SO NOT RIGHT TO ANY OF US THAT OWN THIS VEHICHLE"06 JEEP COMMANDER AND ALL 4 HANDLES ARE BROKEN THIS IS A HASSARD AND OVER 500.00 PER HANDLE TO BE FIXED PROFESSIONAL AND FOR SAFETY IS RIDILOUS ..SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS AND I HAVE SEEN THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE..PAID $36,000 FOR THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW AND STILL ORIGINAL OWNER BUT UNABLE TO DRIVE AT THE MOMENT DUE TO DOORS AND SAFETY ISSUE. THIS IS NOT CONSIDERED AN ISSUE BY JEEP CHRYSLER THIS IS SO NOT RIGHT TO ANY OF US THAT OWN THIS VEHICHLE". EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!! THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR SOME TIME NOW WITH MY VEHICLE JUST GOTTEN WORSE OVER TIME AND HAVE CONTACTED JEEP ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS TO HAVE FIXED THEY WILL NOT COVER THE COSTS. WE SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS REPAIR IT IS DEFECTIVE MATERIALS/PRODUCT AND THEY NEED TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE REPAIRS!!!!! OR TAKE THE CAR BACK AND GIVE US A NEW ONE!!!!

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
INTERMITTENT INABILITY TO START VEHICLE. MY JEEP COMMANDER 2006 HAS A PROBLEM THAT IS BEING DISCUSSED ALL OVER THE INTERNET IN CHAT ROOMS AND BLOGS BUT IS NOT BEING ACKNOWLEDGED BY JEEP. THE ISSUE OCCURRED WHEN JEEP WAS IN PARKED POSITION. I AM A DISABLED MAN AND I WAS LEFT STRANDED IN VERY COLD WEATHER FOR TWO HOURS WITH A CAR THAT WOULD NOT START. IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE STARTER, OR THE SOLENOID. THIS SEEMS TO BE A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH JEEPS AND A SAFETY ISSUE TO THE OWNER ESPECIALLY IF THE OWNER IS STRANDED AND HAS NO HEAT AND UNABLE TO WALK TO GET HELP. I AM REQUESTING NHTSA TO LOOK INTO THIS BECAUSE JEEP IS STONEWALLING THE PUBLIC AND THIS IS A SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT THE PUBLIC SHOULD BE AWARE OF BY WAY OF A RECALL. PEOPLE RELY UPON THEIR AUTOMOBILES AND EXPECT THEM TO OPERATE ACCORDINGLY AND NOT TO HAVE RANDOM AND INTERMITTENT ENGINE NON STARTS FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND WITH NO EXPLANATION FROM JEEP AND NO SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM GOING ON 9 YEARS NOW. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS WIDESPREAD PROBLEM KNOWN TO BE AN ISSUE WITH JEEP COMMANDER.

AIR BAGS
WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD @ 40 MPH & MY HORN STARTED SOUNDING NON STOP & KEPT DRAINING MY BATTERY. TURNS OUT IT IS A FAULTY CLOCK SPRING, & MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 51K. THE PART TO FIX IS RETAILED OVER $800 & YOU CANNOT GET AHOLD OF ONE BECAUSE THEY ARE ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER. WAS TOLD CHRYSLER WILL NOT DO A RECALL BECAUSE THIS VEHICLE IS OVER 10 YEARS OLD, BUT IT ONLY HAS 51K & THIS HAS BEEN RECALLED ON OTHER JEEP/CHRYSLER MODELS. SINCE IT IS HOOKED TO MY AIRBAG, THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE, BUT CHRYSLER DOES NOT SEE IT THAT WAY. WILL NEVER BY ANOTHER JEEP BECAUSE OF THIS.

THE DOOR HANDLES HAVE COMPLETELY DISENTEGRATED AN THE WINDOWS NO LONGER OPERATE. THE SEAT BELTS WORK INTERMITTENTLY AND THE DOOR LOCKS UNLOCK AN LOCK AT RANDOM. THE ENGINE STARTS AN STOPS ON IT'S OWN. THIS VEHICLE WAS MY DREAM VEHICLE BUT NOW I FEEL TOTALLY ENDANGERED BY THE LACK OF CARE AND DESIGN BY JEEP. I FEEL IT IS A TICKING TIME BOMB READY TO CAUSE DANGER AT SOME POINT TO ME OR MY FAMILY
