ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
WE PURCHASED A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER IN APRIL 2007. SINCE WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, IT HAS STALLED ON 12 SEPARATE, RANDOM OCCASIONS. I HAVE DOCUMENTED THE STALLS WHICH HAVE OCCURRED WHILE IN REVERSE, DRIVING LESS THAN 10MPH, AND AT HIGHER SPEEDS ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN THE CAR SHUTS DOWN WHILE ON, I HAVE TO PULL OVER (WITH NO LIGHTS OR POWER STEERING) AND PUT THE CAR INTO PARK TO RESTART THE CAR. IT ALWAYS STARTS UP AGAIN WITH NO PROBLEMS. I HAVE ALSO NOTED THAT IT OCCURS IN BOTH COLD AND WARM TEMPERATURES. I HAVE HAD THE CAR IN JEEP'S SERVICE DEPTS ON THREE OCCASIONS. ON THE FIRST TWO VISITS, THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. ON THE THIRD VISIT, THEY ADMITTED THAT OTHERS HAD COMPLAINED OF THE SAME PROBLEMS AND THEY REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH TO SEE IF THAT CORRECTS THE PROBLEM. I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER COMMANDER OWNERS WHO ALSO HAVE HAD THIS SAME MAJOR ISSUE WITH THEIR VEHICLE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
JEEP COMMANDER LIMITED 2006 STALLED WHILE DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 25MPH. CAR LOST POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. THE CAR EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE ELECTRICAL FAILURE AND JUST DIED. EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE INCLUDE THE CAR RUMBLING TO THE POINT WHERE IT FEELS AS IF WOULD STALL BUT DID NOT. IT FINALLY DID COMPLETELY STALL AS NOTED IN THE OPENING SENTENCES. THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED, STATED THEY CANNOT PIN POINT THE EXACT CAUSE BUT PER CHRYSLER A POSSIBLE SOLUTION WAS TO CLEAN AND RESEAL THE MAIN WIRING HARNESS TO THE POWER DISTRIBUTION CENTER. AFTER THAT THEY HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTING PHONE CALLS TO CHRYSLER TO TROUBLESHOOT THE PROBLEM. WE WERE TOLD CHRYSLER CAN'T GUARANTEE THE PROBLEM WILL BE FOUND. NOW WE ARE LEFT WITH A CAR THAT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AS IT MAY STALL OUT WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT WARNING. *TR

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I OWN A JEEP COMMANDER AND IT HAS DIED ON ME FOR NOW REASON NOW MORE THAN 7 TIMES. I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT, SOMETIMES ON THE FREEWAY THE CAR JUST STOPS. I STEP ON THE GAS AND THE CAR DOESN'T MOVE THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF AND THE STEERING WHEEL HARDENS AND DOESN'T STEER. I TOOK IT INTO THE JEEP DEALER WHERE I LEASED IT FROM AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE ARE OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH OTHER COMMANDER OWNERS BUT THEY HAVE NO FIX TO IT. THEY EVEN TOLD ME THAT WHEN THEY FIND WHAT'S WRONG WITH SOMEONE ELSE'S COMMANDER THEY WOULD CALL ME SO I GUESS THEY STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG THIS HAD BEEN HAPPENING NOW A LOT LATELY. I AM GOING TO TAKE IT BACK AGAIN TO THE DEALER SHIP AND SEE WHAT THEY SAY. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON ALSO EVERY NOW AND THEN IT COMES ON AND STAYS ON FOR LIKE 5 TO 10 MINUTES THEN GOES OFF. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER STALLS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND HAS TO BE RESTARTED IN MOTION. IT ALSO STALLS IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS AND WHILE SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AT LEAST 4 TIMES AND IT HAS HAPPENED AT 70MPH AT LEAST TWICE. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. THE DEALER HAS DONE ALL THEY CAN TO TRY TO FIX IT BUT CAN NEVER RECREATE THE PROBLEM. IT STOPPED FOR ABOUT 6-8 MONTHS BUT YESTERDAY THEY HAD TO REPLACE MY BATTERY AND IT STARTED ALL OVER AGAIN. IT HAS DONE IT 3 TIME IN THE LAST 24HRS WITH MY CHILDERN IN THE CAR. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS POSTS REGARDING THE SAME PROBLEM AND CAN'T BELIEVE A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED. I GUESS SOMEONE HAS TO BE INJURED OR WORSE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
WE OWN A JEEP COMMANDER 2006, WE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE SHUTTING OFF. IT HAS HAPPEN WHILE TURNING, WHILE TAKING AN OFF RAMP, ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE REFUSED TO ALLOW ANYONE TO DRIVE THE COMMANDER CONSIDERING I HAVE 3 CHILDREN AND MY WIFE. THE UPSETTING PART IS THAT THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THE COMPUTER SAYS THEIR IS NO PROBLEM. THE LAST INCIDENT WAS ON SEPT. 04 2007. *TR

MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER KEEPS DYING WHEN I'M DRIVING IT! I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES OVER THE LAST 2 YEARS AND THEY TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE BECAUSE THEY CAN'T "DUPLICATE MY PROBLEM". I HAVE FILED FOR THE LEMON LAW AND MY HEARING IS TOMORROW. I HOPE TO GET OUT OF THIS VEHICLE BEFORE DISASTER STRIKES MY FAMILY OR ANOTHER TEXAS FAMILY THAT MAY BE ON THE ROAD THE SAME TIME I AM. *JB

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I TOOK MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER TO MY LOCAL DEALER WHERE I ORIGINALLY PURCHASED IT TO GET THE STALLING PROBLEM FIXED. FIVE DAYS LATER THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT THE PROBLEM WAS NOW SOLVED (AUGUST 24,2007) FINALLY. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THEY PUT IN A NEW PROGRAM THAT WOULD FIX THE JEEP FROM JUST LOSING POWER. AUGUST 25 SATURDAY MORNING AT 8:13 WHILE AT AN INTERSECTION THE JEEP JUST DIED AGAIN. ANOTHER PROBLEM IS THE WINDSHIELD BREAKING EASILY. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM WITH THE BREAKING WINDSHIELD COULD BE RELATED TO THE INPROPER FITTING OF THE WINDSHIELD WHICH RESULTS IN A LOUD NOISE BEING HEARD INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY WON'T FIX THE SEAL PROBLEM BECAUSE MY JEEP HAS TWO CRACKS ON IT. I SAID "IF YOU HAD FIXED THE WINDSHIELD SEAL PROBLEM THE FIRST 3 TIMES I BROUGHT IT IN WE WOULDN'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM'. NO PROBLEMS HAVE YET TO BE SOLVED. ANCIRA DEALERSHIP IN SAN ANTONIO,TX. MANY JEEP OWNERS ARE PURCHASING MULTIPLE WINDSHIELDS AT $385 A POP. THE DEALER TRIED TO SAY IT'S JUST ME UNTIL I POINTED OUT ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS IN WRITING WITH ALL DIFFERENT VIN NUMBERS AND EVEN SHOWED HER THE RENTAL CAR (JEEP COMMANDER) WHICH ALSO HAD A CRACKED WINDSHIELD. SHE'S CONVINCED TOO. *TR

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD
FRONT WINDSHIELD SEEMS TO BE EASILY DAMAGED. I INITIALLY THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ANOTHER PEBBLE BUT WHEN IT HAPPEN AGAIN WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN MY NEIGHBORHOOD STREET I REALIZED SOMETHING WAS WRONG. I THINK THE PROBLEMS I'M HAVING WITH A WHISTLING NOISE THAT'S HEARD WHILE DRIVING WHICH POINTS TO A SEAL PROBLEM ARE ASSOCIATED. WHEN A WINDSHIELD IS NOT PROPERLY FITTED IT CAN LEAD TO THE GLASS BEING MORE SENSITIVE TO DAMAGE. MY DEALER WOULD NOT FIX THE SEAL UNTIL I REPLACED THE WINDSHIELD UNTIL I POINTED OUT THEY ARE ASSOCIATED. *TR

SUNROOF AND WINDSHIELD HAS LEAK WHICH CAUSED WATER DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE. I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN WITH ALL THE OTHER DEFECTS THAT ARE NOW BE DISCOVERED WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THE SERVICE PEOPLE TOLD ME IT WAS MY FAULT FOR NOT CLEANING THE TUBES NEAR THE SUNROOF. AFTER SERVICING THE JEEP THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT DISCOVERED THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTED. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM SO I NOW HIRED AN ATTORNEY WHO IS VERY FAMILIAR WITH THESE PROBLEMS AND HAS SETTLED NUMEROUS SETTLEMENTS FOR ALL THESE DEFECTS. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER LAST YEAR. I HAVE HAD THE FOLLOWING ITEMS REPLACED ON MY JEEP FRONT PASSENGER INTERIOR DOOR PANEL. STRANGE NOISE COMING FROM MY CAR THAT SOUNDED LIKE PLAYING CARDS IN BIKE TIRES ENDED WITH REPLACING FRONT AXEL RING AND PINION. CAR KEPT POPPING OUT OF GEAR THE ENTIRE GEAR SHIFT WAS REPLACED. MY PASSENGER WINDOW HAD TO BE FIXED IT KEPT STICKING HALFWAY UP. I HAD A PROBLEM WHERE MY CAR KEPT STALLING. I WAS TOLD THE FIRST TIME THAT NO ERROR APPEARS ON THE COMPUTER AND JEEP KNEW OF NO ISSUE WITH CARS STALLING SO MAYBE IT WAS BAD GAS. IT DIED SEVERAL MORE TIMES AND FINALLY THEY DID REPLACE A PART INSIDE THE IDOL. I ALSO HAD AN ISSUE WHERE MY HEADLIGHTS KEPT TURNING OFF AS I DROVE OR WOULD FLASH ON AND OFF. THEY REPLACED THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH. I HAVE HAD THE RUBBER STRIPPING FROM MY BACK DRIVER SIDE WINDOW COME OFF AND NOW IT IS OCCURRING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. FROM THE BEGINNING I HAVE TOLD THEM I DO NOT FEEL MY TRANSMISSION IS WORKING PROPERLY THAT IT SHIFTS HARD AND WHEN I SHIFT FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE THERE IS A BIG HESITATION. I HAVE BEEN TOLD NO ERROR IS APPEARING ON COMPUTER AND THAT JEEP AS USUAL HAS NO KNOWN ISSUES SO THEY HAD NO SUGGESTIONS. ONCE AGAIN THEY THOUGHT IT WAS A GAS ISSUE MOVING FROM WINTER TO SUMMER BLEND. THE LAST TIME I HAD IT IN WHEN IT WAS STALLING I TOLD THEM IT THE TRANSMISSION WAS STILL HESITATING AND WOULD MAKE A POP NOISE AT TIMES THEN IT WOULD GO. IT IS STILL OCCURRING AND AT TIMES THE CAR ACTS LIKE IT MIGHT NOT SHIFT INTO DRIVE. I AM SATISFIED WITH HOW MY DEALERSHIP IS WORKING WITH ME THEY ARE DOING THEIR BEST TO HELP ME. I BLAME JEEP/CHRYSLER ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS SEARCH THE WEB TO SEE THAT THERE ARE SO MANY OTHERS JUST LIKE ME WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. THEY NEED TO RECALL THESE CARS NOW AND IF THEY CAN NOT FIND THE PROBLEM THEN REPLACE THEM FOR US. *TR

I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER STALLING ON ME. I HAVE HAD IT SERVICED THREE TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND EACH TIME I AM TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM CAN NOT BE DUPLICATED AND NO ACTION WAS TAKEN. MOST RECENTLY THE VEHICLE STALLED ON ME IN STOP AND GO RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON THE FREEWAY. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR. *JB
