VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, POWER TRAIN
AT AROUND OR ABOUT THE SPEED OF 55 MPH ,I HERE A LOUD AND SCARY THUMPING OR GRINDING SOUND UNDER THE CAR. IT SOUNDS LIKE ITS RIGHT UNDERNEATH MY SEAT. I IMMEDIATELY GOT OFF THE EXPRESSWAY AND SLOWED DOWN. THAT SEEMED TO HELP THE SOUND GO AWAY.WHEN I DRIVE TO WORK IN THE MORNING, I ONLY DRIVE 35 MPH AND I CAN HERE THE SOUND ALSO AND WHEN I LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR THE SOUND STOPS, BUT CONTINUES WHEN I PRESS ON THE GAS. PLS NOTIFY ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE WITH ANY HELPFUL INFORMATION AS I DO DRIVE WITH LITTLE CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. I WILL TAKE THE CAR TO THE JEEP DEALER TO GET CHECKED OUT.

SEAT BELTS
THE SEAT BELT ON THE THIRD ROW RIGHT SIDE SEAT IS COMPLETELY STUCK TIGHT AGAINST THE SEAT. THIS HAS TO BE A DEFECT BECAUSE WE RARELY USE THE THIRD ROW SEATS ON MY VEHICLE. WORST PART IS THAT I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN THAT COULD HAVE BEEN HURT VERY BADLY BECAUSE OF THE SEAT BELT. FURTHERMORE, THE SEAT BELTS ON THE SECOND ROW SEATS ARE COMPLETELY FALLING APART BECAUSE OF THE LOW QUALITY PLASTICS BEING USED BY JEEP. ONE SEAT BELT ON THE SECOND ROW HAS BECOME COMPLETELY USELESS BECAUSE IT JUST WONT CLICK IN ANYMORE. I HAVE 2 OTHER VEHICLES (2006 FORD F150, 2005 FORD FOCUS) WITH WHICH I HAVE NO TROUBLE WITH THE SEAT BELTS AT ALL. IN FACT, THE SEAT BELTS ON MY TWO OTHER VEHICLES LOOK AS GOOD AS NEW AND MY CHILDREN RIDE IN THEM JUST AS MUCH AS THEY RIDE MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO NO AVAIL. I NOTIFIED BOTH ABOUT THE DANGER OF MY 5 AND 9 YEAR OLD CHILDREN RIDING IN THE VEHICLE BUT HAVE GOTTEN NO POSITIVE RESPONSES. I AM WRITING TO THIS GOVERNMENT AGENCY BEFORE I GO SPEND HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO GET THE SEAT BELTS FIXED. PLEASE RESPOND BACK. *TR

THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES HAVE ALL, BUT ONE SHATTERED. THE LAST INCIDENT, CAUSING A DEEP CUT TO A 10 YEAR OLD CHILD'S HAND. THIS IS THE THIRD HANDLE TO BREAK. THE RISK OF INJURY TO MY FAMILY, DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE AFTER AN ACCIDENT HAS SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
EARLY 2010 I EXPERIENCED ISSUES WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT, "SERVICE PARK ASSIST' AND ALL MY GEARS LIGHTING UP AT ONCE, AND NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE IN THE MIDDLE OF 65MPH TRAFFIC!. AFTER RESEARCHING THE 'SYMPTOMS' AND TALKING TO SEVERAL MECHANICS IT WAS DISCOVERED THE ESM 'WAS BAD' AND WAS REPLACED. IT BEGAN AT APPROX 55,000 MILES. I WENT THRU QUITE A PROCESS WITH CHRYSLER OVER THIS ISSUE. LONG STORY SHORT, NOW...AMAZINGLY AFTER ANOTHER 60,000 MILES (COINCIDENCE???) I NEED TO HAVE IT REPLACED AGAIN AS ALL THE SAME THINGS ARE HAPPENING? JEEPS USUALLY LAST A LONG TIME, AND THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE WITH MAINTAINING MY VEHICLE OR HOW I DRIVE...SO I WILL HAVE TO POTENTIALLY REPLACE IT AGAIN AND AGAIN? OF COURSE CHRYSLER TELLS ME ITS NOT A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLES YET JUST ON THIS SITE AND LOOKING FOR THE EXACT COMPLAINTS I FIND NO LESS THAN 45 OF THE SAME COMPLAINT AND AT LEAST ANOTHER 100+ THAT ARE PROBABLY THE SAME JUST WORDED DIFFERENTLY. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS DOES IT TAKE TO HAVE A COMPANY PAY FOR AND REPLACE DEFECTIVE PARTS? DOES IT TAKE A CERTAIN NUMBER OF FATALITIES?? I HONESTLY DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW IT JUST GETS IGNORED FORT YEARS AND YEARS. ON TOP OF THAT, THE WORK HAS TO BE DONE AT A DEALER DUE TO CERTAIN TOOLS NEEDED, AND ITS NO LESS THAN $1000 TO REPLACE. HOW CONVENIENT FOR THE COMPANY. *TR

SUSPENSION, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ENGINE IDLES WHEN STOPPED AND SOMETIMES THE JEEP LUNGES FORWARD. LIGHTS ON DASH COME ON INTERMITTENTLY. TIRES KEEP NEEDING REPLACED EVEN WHEN GETTING THE JEEP CONTINUALLY BALANCED AND ROTATED. THEY WEAR DOWN ON THE OUTER RIM OF FRONT TIRES ONLY. HAVE TO KEEP GETTING NEW BATTERIES BECAUSE VEHICLE KEEPS DYING. I HAVE HAD MORE PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE SINCE I BOUGHT IT NEW IN 2006 THAN I HAVE HAD WITH A CAR IN A LIFETIME. INTERIOR POWER STATIONS DON'T WORK, PASSENGER WINDOW WILL NOT CLOSE OR OPEN AT TIMES. SOME TIMES THE HORN WILL JUST START GOING OFF. I KEEP RECEIVING RECALL NOTICES ALMOST YEARLY. JEEP NEEDS TO RECALL THIS VEHICLE. IT HAS BEEN A LEMON FROM THE SECOND I BROUGHT IT HOME. *TR

1.THE VEHICLE LEAKS. I SUSPECTED IT WAS THE THE SUN ROOF AS THAT WOULD BE THE OBVIOUS CHOICE. AFTER COMPLETELY CLEANING AND TESTING THE DRAIN LINES. I NOW FEEL LIKE THIS IS THE ISSUE HTTP://XKJEEPS.COM/TSB/TSB_XK_2305005.PDF. MY VEHICLE HAS HAD ABOUT 3/4' OF WATER IN THE FLOORBOARD AND I HAVE TO KEEP 2 CONTAINERS OF DAMPRID IN THE VEHICLE AT ALL TIMES TO AVOID HAVING A MILDEW SMELL. NOT TO MENTION THAT IT CAN'T BE GOOD FOR THE ELECTRONICS THAT RUN AROUND THE BASE OF THE CAR. CONSIDERING THAT THEY HAVE A REPAIR SHEET ON IT. I FEEL LIKE THEY SHOULDN'T CHARGE THEIR CUSTOMERS TO REPAIR ANYTHING. 2. DOOR HANDLES. ALL OF THE DOOR HANDLES OF THE VEHICLE ARE BROKEN EXCEPT FOR THE DRIVERS SIDE WHICH CLEARLY HAS A AFTERMARKET FIX ON IT. THE CHEAP PLASTIC USED TO MOUNT THEM HAS CRACKED AND NOW THE DOOR HANDLES JUST HANG. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IT POTENTIALLY COULD TRAP PEOPLE IN THE CAR. I HAVE READ ABOUT THE ISSUES ALL OVER THE INTERNET YET JEEP IS TRYING TO MAKE THE CUSTOMERS PAY $2000 FOR THE DOOR PANEL REPLACEMENTS. THAT IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. *TR

MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER VEHICLE HAD PROBLEMS WITH IDLING AND STALLING, CAR WOULD CUTOFF WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 35-60 MILES AND AS WELL DURING IDLING. THIS HAD BEEN AN ON GOING PROBLEM SINCE 2010 THOUGH 2012 AND THEN SOME TIME BEFORE. I OFFICIALLY FOR THE RECORD FILE THIS COMPLAINT UNDERSTANDING THAT MANY JEEP OWNERS HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM MANY TIMES OVER ALTHOUGH THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION NEVER DID A RECALL REGARDING THIS PROBLEM PERTAINING TO 2006-2008 JEEP VEHICLES WHICH WAS AND IS SUCH A DISSERVICE TO THE CONSUMERS. *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER
IN THE BEGINNING OF DECEMBER, WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 58 MPH, AN ONCOMING CAR THREW A ROCK UP AND CHIPPED OUR WINDSHIELD. WE HAD THIS CHIP REPAIRED BY OUR INSURANCE COMPANY. A WEEK OR SO LATER, ANOTHER ROCK WAS THROWN UP AND CHIPPED OUR WINDSHIELD AGAIN WHILE GOING AROUND 55 MPH. IN THE BEGINNING OF FEBRUARY WHILE LEAVING OUR HOUSE, ABOUT 2 MINUTES INTO THE DRIVE, OUR PASSENGER SIDE WINDSHIELD CRACKED. (ABOUT A 12+ INCH CRACK.) ON OUR WAY HOME THAT DAY ANOTHER ROCK WAS THROWN AND CHIPPED THAT WINDSHIELD WHILE GOING AROUND 55 MPH. WE CONTACTED THE INSURANCE COMPANY AND HAD THAT WINDSHIELD REPLACED BECAUSE IT COULD NOT BE REPAIRED. NOW ABOUT 3 WEEKS LATER, ANOTHER ROCK WAS THROWN UP AND CHIPPED OUR BRAND NEW WINDSHIELD GOING 60 MPH. I HAVE LOOKED UP OTHER COMMANDER REVIEWS AND SEE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND QUITE AN INCONVENIENCE FOR COMMANDER OWNERS AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. *TR
