STRUCTURE:BODY
I'VE NOTICED THAT MY JEEP IS A MONEY HUNGRY MACHINE. I BOUGHT IT BECAUSE I HAD PREVIOUSLY OWNED A JEEP CHEROKEE LMT AND NEEDED SOMETHING BIGGER AND SAFER TO HAUL AROUND THE BOYS I NANNY. I BOUGHT IT THINKING I WOULD HAVE IT FOR AWHILE. I HAVE REPORTED SEVERAL SAFETY AND HAZARDOUS PROBLEMS TO NHTSA ALREADY. I HAVE ANOTHER COMPLAINT NOW. I HAVE THREE RATHER LARGE RUST SPOTS AROUND MY REAR LICENSE PLATE ON THE TAIL GATE. THEY HAVE A WARRANTY FOR RUST UP TO 100,000 MILES. I TOOK IT IN TO GET REPAIRED BECAUSE I HAVE 94,000 MILES AND THEY WONT FIX IT BECAUSE THEY STATE THAT IT NEEDS TO BE RUSTED THROUGH. I HAVE NOT FOUND IN ANY FORM THAT IT NEEDS TO BE RUSTED THROUGH BUT THEY STILL WONT FIX IT. THE PAINT ON BOTH BUMPERS ARE PEELING OFF AND BOTH HAVE LARGE BLACK SPOTS FROM THE BUMPER BEING EXPOSED. THEY WONT HELP FIX ANY OF THIS. I AM GOING TO HAVE TO PAINT THE ENTIRE THING WHICH IS GOING TO BE A VERY EXPENSIVE OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE. I BOUGHT THIS JEEP THINKING IT'S AMERICAN MADE AND I SHOULD STICK WITH THEM. QUITE FRANKLY THEY HAVE THE WORSE COSTUMER SERVICE OF ANYONE I HAVE BEEN. I WANT TO JUST GET RID OF THE VEHICLE BUT THEY MESSED ME OVER ON MY INTEREST RATE AND MY LOAN IS STILL HUGE. I HAVE REFINANCED AND GOT WITH A COMPANY THAT TREATS ME LIKE A PERSON. CHRYSLER ALSO MESSED UP MY CREDIT RATING BY REPORTING THAT I WENT MONTHS WITHOUT PAYMENT. I PAID THEM AND HAVE DISPUTED MY CREDIT. CHRYSLER I REALIZE WERE GOING INTO BANKRUPTCY AT THE TIME OF MY VEHICLE PURCHASE BUT THAT'S NO WAY TO TREAT PAYING CUSTOMERS. MY NEXT VEHICLE WILL BE A FOREIGN FOR SURE. IM SICK AND TIRED OF PAYING ALL THESE EXPENSES WHEN I PICKED AN EXPENSIVE VEHICLE SO THIS WOULDN'T HAPPEN. IT JUST SUCKS BEING IN AND OUT OF SHOPS, RUNNING UP BILL AND NOT GETTING ANYTHING FIXED, AND BEING WITHOUT A VEHICLE. PLEASE LOOK INTO ALL THESE COMPLAINTS...... ALOT ON HERE I HAVE EXPERIENCED WITH MINE, I WILL CONTINUE TO LEAVE COMPLAINTS. IT IS VERY TIME CONSUMING TO CONSTANTLY BE DOING IT. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM/PCM/TECM)
I WAS DRIVING MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER OUT A PARKING LOT AND IT LOST COMPLETE POWER. IT STARTED STALLING AND I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY I HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THE PCM UPDATED AND THAT AFFECTED THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE. I DID SOME RESEARCH AFTER SPEAKING WITH THEM AND IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM ON THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE AND EVEN A RECALL (#08V20300). *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
HAVE A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. LIGHTS HAVE BEEN FLICKERING AND CAR HAS NOT WANTED TO START. FOUND THAT BATTERY WAS NOT HOLDING CHARGE AND REPLACED. NOW WE DRIVE AT SPEED AND THE ENGINE BEGINS TO RACE WHILE NOT INCREASING SPEED. HAVE TAKEN TO DEALER IN CINCINNATI,NORTHGATE AND THEY RESET COMPUTER BUT BEFORE WE COULD LEAVE THE BAY AREA IT STARTED MAKING A GRINDING NOISE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS BACK ON. THEY SAY THE ARE GOING TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION GUY LOOK AT IT AND GET BACK TO US. I READ HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON YOUR SITE AND THE MAJORITY OF THEM ARE DESCRIBING PROBLEMS THAT ARE VERY SIMILAR OVER THE LAST 3 YEARS. DON'T YOU HAVE ENOUGH COMPLAINTS ON THIS THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD BE DOING A RECALL? AFTER ALL THE GOVERNMENT IS NOW DEEPLY INVESTED IN CHRYSLER. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW
I BOUGHT A JEEP COMANDER IN MAY OF 2008, TWO DAYS LATER I HAD TO HAVE WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A REALLY GREAT NEW CAR TOWED ON A ROLLBACK TO THE DEALER I HAD JUST GOTTEN IT FROM. IM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND IT STARTS MAKING A TERRIBLE NOISE AND THEN IT WILL NOT TURN AND JUST DIES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WITH TRAFFIC COMING AT ME. SINCE THEN THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR AND TRAFFIC ALL AROUND.I DROVE IT STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND ALSO HAD THEM TELL ME IT WAS THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE. I GOT A RENTAL AND THEY CALLED THE NEXT DAY TO SAY THEY COULD FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. DURING THE WINTER MY CAR DECIDED TO GET A MIND OF ITS OWN AND WHEN YOU WOULD TURN THE HEAT ON YOU HAD TO HAVE IT ON HIGH OR IT WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING,BUT IF YOU DROVE AROUND A CURVE TO THE RIGHT IT WOULD CUT OFF, IF YOU WENT AROUND A CURVE TO THE LEFT IT WOULD CUT BACK ON. A COUPLE MONTHS LATER IT WAS TIME TO GET BRAKES AND HAVE ROTORS TURNED. I ALSO HAD THE STEREO WORKED ON BECAUSE I GUESS IT TOOK LESSONS FROM MY HEATER, AND WOULD CHANGE STATIONS OR NOT TURN AT ALL .IT STILL DOESN'T WORK RIGHT AT THIS POINT I'VE KIND OF GIVEN UP ON IT.BUT THEN THE WINDOW S STARTED NOT GOING UP ALL THE WAY THEYWOULD GO HALFWAY UP THEN GO BACK DOWN IN THE DOOR. I HAVE JUST TAKEN MY CAR ON FRIDAY TO GET NEW TIRES, MONDAY FOR AN ALIGNMENT,WHERE I WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T DO ONE BECAUSE MY TIEROD HAD TO MUCH PLAY IN IT AND WAS A SAFETY CONCERN. MY DEALERSHIP NO LONGER HAS THEIR LICENSE SO I HAD MY CAR TAKEN TO THE CLOSEST JEEP PLACE AND MY WARRANTY COULDN'T BE FOUND AND I BASICALLY STOOD ON THE STREET TO WAIT FOR A RIDE AS THEY CLOSED FOR THE NIGHT. BUT THEN WHEN I GOT TO TALK TO THEM AGAIN I NEEDED NEW BRAKES AND ROTORS ALL THE WAY AROUND AT A GRAND TOTAL OF 600.00 . *TR

I OWN A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER SPORT. IT HAS STALLED ON ME APPROXIMATELY 4 TIMES. MOST RECENTLY TODAY IT STALLED AFTER BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY INTO THE STREET. I HAVE HAD IT IN FOR SERVICE IN WHICH I BELIEVE THE MAP SENSOR WAS REPLACED. THIS DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH THIS BY OTHER COMMANDER OWNERS AND THOUGHT I WOULD FILE A INCIDENT REPORT AS WELL. *TR

I DRIVE A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER LIMITED V8 AND IT HAS A TENDENCY TO STALL FOR NO REASON. IT HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH AND I HAVE READ THAT MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR COMMANDERS OF THE SAME YEAR MODEL. FORTUNATELY I HAVE NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE STALLING, HOWEVER, IT DOES IT AT ALL SPEEDS AND WHEN IT HAPPENS I LOSE ALL POWER. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, INTERIOR LIGHTING
DURING REGULAR DRIVE OF THE CAR, I EXPERIENCED MAJOR ELECTRICAL SHUT DOWN. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN VERY OFTEN. I NOTICED THAT IS HAPPENING IN SUMMER TIME MORE OFTEN THAN IN WINTER TIME. I NOTICED IT FOR A FIRST TIME 2 YEARS AGO AND REPORTED TO LOCAL SERVICE DEALER. THEY TOLD ME TO KEEP AN EYE ON IT AND TO TELL THEM IF I NOTICE ANY TREND. EXCEPT FOR SUMMER/WINTER, I COULDN'T NOTICE ANY OTHER TREND. LAST SUMMER IT WAS HAPPENING QUITE OFTEN AND AFTER BRINGING IT TO THE SERVICE, THEY COULDN'T FIND CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. I THINK THEY PERFORMED SOME RECALL FIRMWARE UPDATE (08V-203 I THINK) BUT I STILL HAVE SAME ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. I DON'T HAVE ENGINE STALL HOWEVER. LAST NIGHT (JULY 3RD 2009) IT HAPPEN TO ME FOR THE FIRST TIME DURING NIGHT AND I JUST REALIZED HOW SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE IT ACTUALLY IS. WHILE DRIVING HOME WITH MY FAMILY, EVERYTHING IN THE CAR (HEADLIGHTS, AC , STEREO (EXCEPT LCD DISPLAY) ALL LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD (EXCEPT P R N D GEAR INDICATION)) WENT OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS AND CAME BACK ON. IT HAPPENED 15-20 TIMES IN 30 MINUTES TIME FRAME. AT ONE POINT AFTER ~10TH INTERRUPTION, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON (ERROR CODE U1411). SO, ALL LIGHTS DISAPPEARED WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT PUTTING ME AND MY FAMILY AT RISK OF AN SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I DON'T HAVE CONFIDENCE IN THIS CAR ANY MORE UNLESS THERE IS A PERMANENT FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

AIR BAGS
OCTOBER 2008 WE PURCHASED A JEEP COMMANDER WITH WARRANTY FROM CARMAX MODESTO, CA.A NUMBER OF WEEKS LATER THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND WENT OFF, CAME BACK ON ETC. WE TOOK IT TO CAR MAX AND MADE INQUIRIES AS TO TRADING IT IN. DURING THE INSPECTION WE WERE TOLD THAT THEY COULDN'T TAKE IT BACK AS THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION THE REPAIR IT MATERIALIZED THAT THE WINDSCREEN HAD BEEN DAMAGED AND REPLACED WITH ALL OF ITS WIRING ETC CUT AND NOT REPLACE/REPAIRED AT CARMAX ROSEVILLE, CA BEFORE IT WAS SOLD TO US CAR MAX TOLD US THIS THEMSELVES. JEEP FIXED THE AIR BAG & TRANSMISSION BUT CARMAX INSISTED THAT THEY REPAIR THE WINDSCREEN, WIPERS, WIRING ETC. BEFORE WE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO TURN IT IN TO REPAIR THE ORIGINAL REPAIR JOB THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME BACK ON. 4 WEEKS AGO CAR MAX MODESTO WAS IN RECEIPT OF OUR VEHICLE AND IT HAS YET TO BE FIXED. THEY COULDN'T FIX IT AND SENT IT TO JEEP. JEEP COULDN'T FIX IT SO THEY CONTACTED CHRYSLER. WE ASKED THEM TO TAKE BACK THIS VEHICLE; THEY REFUSED TO. WHEN THEY LEARNED FROM JEEP & CHRYSLER THAT THE REPAIR WOULD COST THEM $6,000 EARLIER THIS WEEK THEY THEN DECIDED TO CONSIDER OUR REQUEST. THEY DECIDED NOT TO. IT HAS TAKEN NEARLY 4 WEEKS TO FIND A WAY TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE AS THE PARTS REQUIRED TO COMPLETE THE JOB ARE NO LONGER BEING PRODUCED. BUT APPARENTLY THEY HAVE COME UP WITH A WAY TO WORK AROUND THIS! OUR COMPLAINT IS 1)UNETHICAL SALES PRACTICES I.E. THE SALE OF A FAULTY VEHICLE AND THE ASSURANCES FROM THE SALES ASSOCIATE WITH WHOM WE WORKED THAT NO WORK OF ANY SIGNIFICANCE HAD BEEN CONDUCTED ON THIS VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH IT HAD BEEN WORKED ON BY CARMAX. BY THEIR OWN ADMISSION IT WAS SOLD TO US FAULTY 2) THEY DEEM IT APPROPRIATE TO RETURN A VEHICLE TO A FAMILY OF 4 WHEN ITS AIRBAG FUNCTIONALITY IS QUESTIONABLE 3) INEFFECTIVE POST PURCHASE CARE. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE A 2006 JEEP LIMITED COMMANDER. I BOUGHT NEW. IN LESS THAN 9,000 MILES I HAD THE CAR IN THE SHOP 3 TIMES FOR TRANSMISSION ISSUES. THEN IN JULY 2007 THE TRANSFER CASE HAD TO BE REPLACED, STALLING MY FAMILY IN THE MIDDLE OF HWY 71 GOING 65 MPH. AFTER THAT THE HARD SHIFTING CONTINUED AND I TOOK TO SHOP THREE OTHER TIMES. ALL THAT WAS SAID IS CAN'T DUPLICATE PROBLEM. YESTERDAY WITH 41K MILES ON THE CAR, ALL OF THE GAUGES WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING. NO TAC, NO SPEED, AC WENT OUT. VERY BAD AND VERY DANGEROUS. JEEP KNOWS ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND WILL NOT FIX PROPERLY. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW IN JANUARY 2006. WHEN I DRIVE THEN ENGINE WILL STALL - USUALLY WHEN MAKING A SHARP RIGHT TURN. ALSO, ALL OF THE LIGHTS WILL GO OFF AND THEN COME BACK ON IN THE AREA WHERE THE SPEEDOMETER IS. BEING AS THIS IS ELECTRICAL FAULT, I AM AFRAID MY CAR WILL CATCH ON FIRE. *TR

I HAVE OWNED A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER FROM BRAND NEW SINCE JUNE 10 2006. I HAVE HAD OVER 5 OCCURRENCES OF THE VEHICLE STALLING WHEN I COME TO A STOP SIGN, OR STOP LIGHT. ALMOST EVERY TIME I HAVE REPORTED IT TO THE LOCAL JEEP DEALER. ON ABOUT THE SECOND OR THIRD REPORT WHEN I BROUGHT IT THERE, THEY CLAIMED I HAD CARBON BUILD UP ON THE THROTTLE BLADE WHICH CAN CAUSE IT TO STALL. THAT STILL DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. IT HAS HAPPENED A FEW MORE TIMES, AND IT HAS HAPPENED TODAY. I GOOGLED JEEP COMMANDER STALLING AND THERE WAS A FORUM WITH THIS LINK IN IT. ALSO THE TRANSMISSION IS DELAYED IN ENGAGING AT CERTAIN TIMES. *TR
