ENGINE, STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES
I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM A USED DEALERSHIP I HAVE ONLY OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS. HAVE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE FOR THE LAST MONTH AND A HALF. AND IT ALL BEGAN ON THE INTERSTATE. I WAS TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE DOING ABOUT 75 AND IT JUST SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF A CLUSTER OF CARS AND I HAD TO GO OVER 2 LANES TO GET TO THE SHOULDER. I LOST STEERING AND BRAKES WITHIN 10 SECONDS. ONE OF THE MOST SCARIEST RIDES EVER. I AM NOW AFRAID TO TRAVEL ON THE INTERSTATE WITH THIS VEHICLE. SINCE THIS HAS HAPPENED IT HAS SHUT OFF AN ADDITIONAL 5 TIMES I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP CAUSE THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND THEY SAID IT WAS A MAP SENSOR, I HAVE REPLACED THIS TWICE ALREADY. NOW IT DOESN'T IDLE RIGHT AND LOOSES POWER IN BETWEEN 30 AND 35 MPH. AND THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS ONCE AGAIN CAME ON. HAVEN'T HAD IT CHECKED YET CAUSE IT IS A SATURDAY NIGHT GUESS I WILL HAVE TO TAKE IT SOMEWHERE ON MONDAY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I'M DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED ALONG WITH OTHER VINS OF IT'S MAKE. IT HAS STALLING ISSUES. IT DIES GOING ANY SPEED AT ANY TIME. I'VE OWNED IT FOR JUST OVER A YEAR AND HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM SINCE MONTH ONE. THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN PARTS INCLUDING, ALL SENSORS, COMPUTER, CONTROL MODULE AND WIRE HARNESS HAS BEEN REPLACED AND IT IS STILL GOING ON. WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL CRYSLER REPS FROM DETROIT DOWN TO THE DEALERSHIP ITS AT TO LOOK TO HELP FIND THE PROBLEM BUT THEY'VE SCRATCHED THEIR HEADS AND SUGGEST WE JUST TRADE IT IN. WE ARE THE 4TH OWNERS OF THIS AND CARFAX WOULD SUGGEST THAT'S WHAT THE PREVIOUS OWNERS WERE TOLD TO DO JUST TRADE IT IN AND LET SOMEONE ELSE GET THE DEATH TRAP. I PAY $600 A MONTH FOR A VEHICLE I CANT DRIVE BECAUSE ITS NOT SAFE TO TRADE IN AND LETTING IT GO IS NOT AN OPTION. CRYSLER IS DOING NOTHING TO HELP WITH THIS ISSUE AND ACT LIKE THEY HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM THO JEEP FORUMS WOULD SUGGEST OTHER WISE. THIS WAS A KNOW ISSUE IN 06-08 COMMANDERS AND LIBERTYS AS WELL. WARRANTY WONT DO ANYTHING TIL THE DEALERSHIP CAN PIN POINT WHAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THIS IS WHY ALLEN SAMUELS HAS PAID FOR ALL THE PARTS THEMSELVES. THEY SAY THEIR OUT OF OPTIONS THERES NOTHING ELSE THEY CAN DO BUT I CAN'T DRIVE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE WITH CHILDREN. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
IN APRIL OF 2013 I STARTED HAVING TILTING ISSUES WITH MY HIGH-INTENSITY DISCHARGE HEADLAMPS AUTOMATIC HEADLAMP LEVELING SYSTEM. MY VEHICLE IS A 2010 JEEP COMMANDER. WHEN I DRIVE AT NIGHT MY LIGHTS WOULD LOWER ALL THE WAY DOWN RANDOMLY, LEAVING THE ROAD INFRONT OF ME PITCH BLACK. I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO DRIVE WITH MY HIGH BEAMS ON DURING THESE EPISODES UNTIL THE LIGHTS WOULD RAISE AGAIN TO THE NORMAL SETTING. WITH IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS THE LIGHTS WON'T RAISE AT ALL AND I AM FORCED TO LIMIT MY DRIVING AFTER DARK. I HAVE 2 SMALL CHILDREN AND CLEARLY THIS POSES A SAFETY ISSUE. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO CUETER JEEP IN YPSILANTI, MI TO HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED AND THE SERVICE TECH TOLD ME THAT HE COULDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE HE COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. ( A RECAP: THE PROBLEM WAS THAT THE LIGHTS WOULD NOT MOVE INTO A LEVEL ADJUSTMENT AT THIS POINT AS I EXPLAINED TO THE SERVICE TECH.) WHEN I DROPPED OFF MY VEHICLE I ALSO HAD AN OIL CHANGE AND TAILGATE WORK DONE. I LEFT THE VEHICLE OVERNIGHT FOR ALL THE WORK TO BE COMPLETED AS THEY WERE WAITING FOR TAILGATE PARTS(DROP OFF TIME AT CUETER JEEP SERVICE 7AM THURSDAY APRIL 25,2013/ PICK UP TIME 12PM FRIDAY APRIL 26,2013). THE SERVICE TECH TOLD ME AT THE PICK UP TIME THAT HE COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THAT HE COULDN'T FIX THE HEADLIGHT PROBLEM AND THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE ACTING THAT WAY BECAUSE THE HIGHBEAM AUTO DIM WAS TURNED ON, IN WHICH WAS NOT THE CASE AS THAT FEATURE WAS NOT TURNED ON NOR HAVE I EVER TURNED THAT FEATURE ON. MAY 1,2013 9:31AM, I TALKED WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER AT CUETER JEEP (RICHARD BAYER) AND HE TOLD ME THAT THEY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM UNLESS I LEFT THE VEHICLE OVER NIGHT SO THEY CAN DRIVE IT AT NIGHT AND I EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT I DID AND ALSO CONFIRMED THAT THE TECH'S LEAVE THE DEALERSHIP AT 6PM. SO MY SAFETY ISSUE HASN'T BEEN RESOLVED BY CUETER JEEP, MY 5 STAR DEALER. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
2006 JEEP COMMANDER. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO SUDDEN ACCELERATION. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED WHILE TRAVELING SOUTHBOUND ON THE NORTHWAY, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING ACCELERATED AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED OF ABOUT 90 MPH. AT THE TIME, THE CONSUMER WAS ABOUT FIVE CAR LENGTHS FROM AN AUTOMOBILE AHEAD OF HIM IN THE SAME LANE, AND IN 10 SECONDS HE WAS JUST A FEW FEET OF OVERTAKING AND CRASHING INTO THE VEHICLE. HE APPLIED THE BRAKE, THEN THE ACCELERATOR, REPEATING IT OVER AND OVER, BUT TO NO AVAIL, UNABLE TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP OR EVEN SLOW IT DOWN. REALIZING THAT CRASHING INTO THE VEHICLE WAS IMMINENT, HE MADE AN OBLIQUE TURN INTO THE TRAFFIC LANE TO HIS LEFT AND CONTINUED AT 90 MPH WITH THE ENGINE SCREAMING AND WITH THE THRUST OF A ROCKET, HIS FOOT WAS ON THE ACCELERATOR, TRYING TO SHUT THE VEHICLE DOWN. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED ON AT A HIGH SPEED FOR ANOTHER 10 OR 15 SECONDS AND THEN THE SITUATION CORRECTED ITSELF AND IT SETTLED DOWN TO 50 MPH. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, WHERE AN INSPECTION REVEALED THE THROTTLE BODY PLATE WAS FULL OF CARBON AND THAT INTERFERED WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF THE THROTTLE CAUSING THE SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION OF THE VEHICLE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, STEERING
MY 2008 JEEP COMMANDER OVERLAND EDITION HAS SHUT OFF MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE I AM DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 60 + MPH. I LOOK ALL FUNCTION WHEN THIS HAPPENS; POWER STEERING, GAS, ELECTRICAL, ETC. I HAVE TO MAKE MY WAY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTART IT. IT ALWAYS RESTARTS RIGHT AWAY. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR IN 4-6 TIMES TO ALLEN SAMUELS DODGE, JEEP IN KATY TX TO TRY AND HAVE THE PROBLEM DIAGNOSED. EACH TIME THEY KEEP MY CAR FOR MULTIPLE DAYS AND THEN TELL ME THEY CANNOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE AND AM GETTING NO HELP FROM THEM EITHER. THEY KEEP TELLING ME TO TAKE THE CAR IN TO GET IT LOOKED AT SO THEY CAN DIAGNOSE IT. YET EACH TIME I TAKE THE CAR IN TO GET A DIAGNOSIS, I AM CHARGED FOR A RENTAL CAR FOR A FEW DAYS, BUT THEN TOLD THEY CANNOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND THEY SEND ME ON MY WAY. WITHIN WEEKS, I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM OF THE CAR SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM ONLINE AND HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS IN THEIR 2008 JEEP COMMANDER. I AM AT A LOSS AS TO WHAT TO DO NOW. I FEEL THE CAR IS EXTREMEMLY UNSAFE, YET CHRYSLER IS DOING NOTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

SINCE DECEMBER 2012,I NOW HAVE 2 DEFECTIVE {BROKEN} INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES, BOTH REAR PASSENGER & NOW DRIVER!! I DO CHILDCARE AND IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO TRANSPORT CHILDREN TO & FROM SCHOOL. WHEN I REALIZED THE FIRST HANDLE WAS BROKEN,IT WAS WHEN I WAS TAKING THE CHILDREN TO SCHOOL.THE LITTLE GIRL GOT OUT OF THE TRUCK, WENT TO SHUT THE DOOR AND IT BOUNCED BACK AT HER.I PULLED OVER THINKING THE SEATBELT WAS IN THE WAY.HERE IS WAS THE DOOR HANDLE FROM THE INSIDE,BROKEN, NOT EVEN ALLOWING THE DOOR TO SHUT!I HAD TO RIG THE HANDLE SO THAT IT WOULD CLOSE THE DOOR! ON 3/26/13 MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING & HEARD A NOISE,HE LOOKED DOWN AND THE DRIVER SIDE BROKE! NOT EVEN BEING TOUCHED. TO GET OUT, I HAVE TO PUT THE WINDOW DOWN,REACH OUT & OPEN BY THE EXTERIOR HANDLE. PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME HOW THIS IS SAFE!?!?!... IF MY CAR WERE TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT AND GOD FORBID THE ELECTRIC DIDN'T WORK, HOW THE HELL AM I GETTING OUT. OR MY PASSENGERS!!! USE THE OTHER TWO DOORS THAT WILL MOST LIKELY BUST SOON!?! I CAN'T IMAGINE THAT JEEP CANNOT AFFORD A RECALL TO FIX THIS.WOULD JEEP RATHER CORRECT THIS OR SPEND MILLIONS OF $$$ IN LAWSUITS GOD FORBID ANY DEATHS SHOULD OCCUR.THIS IS THE LAST THING THAT SHOULD GO WRONG BEFORE THE VEHICLE GOES TO THE GRAVEYARD. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A DEFECT ON JEEP'S END B/C THIS IS HAPPENING TO JEEP COMMANDER OWNERS FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY!! JEEP NEEDS TO STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT AND PUT OUT A RECALL ON THIS HAZARDOUS VEHICLE THAT WE ARE DRIVING. IT'S A SHARP LOOKING VEHICLE. IF JEEP WANTS A GOOD REP AND THEIR DRIVERS/PASSENGERS SAFE, THEN WE AS JEEP COMMANDER OWNERS INSIST ON A RECALL!! I KNOW THERE ARE A LOT OF US OUT HERE.IF THERE WEREN'T, WHY WOULD ANOTHER COMPANY DEVELOP AND MARKET AN "AFTER-MARKET" FIX? IF IT WAS JUST A FEW OF US, IT WOULDN'T MAKE BUSINESS SENSE TO DO SO. *TR

ONE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE (RIGHT REAR) WAS BROKEN WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, RENDERING THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE INOPERABLE. WITHIN TWO MONTHS, MY LEFT REAR HANDLE BROKE IN A SIMILAR FASHION (CRUNCHING SOUND UNDER LIGHT USE).THE INTERIOR HANDLE 'CUP' SHATTERED IN APPROXIMATELY 12 PIECES, RENDERING THAT DOOR HANDLE INOPERABLE. THE DRIVER'S FRONT SHOWS SEVERAL LARGE CRACKS, AND THE PASSENGER FRONT SHOWS 2 CRACKS. ALL HAVE BEEN REBUILT/REINFORCED USING AN EPOXY STICK. JEEP UNWILLING TO ASSIST AS A DEFECT. I AM HIGHLY CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD CAUSE AN INABILITY TO EGRESS IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. *TR

ALL OF THE DOOR HANDLES/OPENERS ON ALL (4) DOORS ARE DEFECTIVE CAUSED FROM NORMAL USAGE ON VERY POOR PLASTIC MATERIAL THAT GETS BRITTLE AFTER A WHILE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN CONSIDERING THAT UNDER THE RIGHT CIRCUMSTANCES NO ONE WOULD BE ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE IN AN EMERGENCY. I HAVE READ WERE A JEEP COMMANDER LIKE MINE HAS WRECKED INTO A BODY OF WATER AND ALL OF THE WINDOWS SHORTED OUT AND THE PERSON COULD NOT EXIT THE VEHICLE AND DIED. PLEASE HANDLE THIS MATTER CORRECTLY BEFORE THERE ARE ANY MORE DEATHS. THANK YOU. *TR

EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY, STRUCTURE:BODY, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
APPARENTLY THERE IS/WAS A DEFECT IN EITHER THE DESIGN OR PRODUCTION OF THE DOOR HANDLE ASSEMBLY IN THE 2006 JEEP COMMANDERS. THE PLASTIC HOUSING WHICH CONTAINS THE DOOR OPENING MECHANISM BECOMES TOO BRITTLE AND CRACKS RENDERING THE OPENING MECHANISM INOPERABLE. ON MY COMMANDER ALL BUT ONE DOOR IS AFFECTED. AT THE MOMENT, ONLY TWO OUT OF THE FOUR DOORS WORK, THE FRONT-SIDE PASSENGER AND THE DRIVER-SIDE REAR. IF THIS VEHICLE WAS IN AN ACCIDENT IN WHICH THERE WAS A NEED TO EXIT QUICKLY (FIRE OR WATER), THE LIVES OF MY FAMILY WOULD BE IN EXTREME JEOPARDY. I POSTED A VIDEO ON YOUTUBE, AND HAVE HEARD FROM MANY OTHER WITH THE SAME ISSUE. CHRYSLER JEEP PRODUCED APPROXIMATELY 80,000 OF THESE VEHICLES IN 2006. I TRULY BELIEVE THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF THERE JEEP COMMANDERS ON THE ROAD WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. IN FACT THE CONDITION IS SO PREVALENT; ONE COMPANY IS PRODUCING AN AFTER-MARKET REPAIR KIT.
