SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN I AM DRIVING ON THE MAIN CITY ROAD OR HIGHWAY I NOTICE ABOUT THREE THINGS THAT HAPPEN ALL AT ONCE. THE FIRST THING IS I LOSE CONTROL OF MY STEERING. THE SECOND THING IS IT FEELS LIKE MY JEEP WENT INTO PARK CAUSING ALL MY WHEELS TO BREAK FOR 1 TO 3 SECOND. THE THIRD THING IS IT FEELS AS THE ENGINE STALLED. ALL THESE THINGS HAPPEN AT THE SAME TIME. THIS CAUSES MY JEEP TO STOP OR STALL ON THE ROAD SENDING ME AND MY PASSENGERS TO LOUNGE FORWARD AS IF I HAD HIT AN INVISIBLE WALL AT FULL FORCE.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
REPLACED BEZEL GEAR SELECTOR 3 TIMES SINCE 2006. AS OF SEPTEMBER 2016 A 4TH REPLACEMENT IS REQUIRED PER GOLLING CHRYSLER. VEHICLE ATTEMPTS TO STALL AFTER 1-2 SECONDS WHEN STARTING FROM A STOPPED POSITION. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATES AND A SERVICE MESSAGE APPEARS STATING "SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM." SEVERAL TIMES FROM 2006 - 2016 THE VEHICLE ALMOST STALLED WHEN ENTERING INTERSECTIONS OF CITY STREETS. WHENEVER CONDITION OCCURED THE PART WAS REPLACED (3 TIMES). PART CAUSING THE CONDITIONS IS PART# CH68004143-AF PRNDL BEZEL GEAR SELECTOR AND CH52108308-AC CONNECTOR ELECTRICAL (TRANSMISSION). I BELIEVE THE GEAR SELECTOR AND TRANSMISSION TO BE DEFECTIVE DUE TO THE FREQUENT FAILURE WHICH COULD CAUSE A SAFETY INCIDENT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THIS RECALL HAS BEEN SINCE 2014. I AM A LITTLE AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS JEEP FOR FEAR IT WILL QUIT WHILE DRIVING. OTHER PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY HAD AN ACCIDENT SO HOW LONG DO WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR A FIX. IT CAN ALSO CAUSE THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY SO THAT'S A REAL PROBLEM. EITHER FIX WHAT U HAVE INSTEAD OF MAKING MORE VEHICLE OR BUY THEM BACK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
2006 JEEP COMMANDER RANDOMLY WILL NOT START. BATTERY TESTS FINE...TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND PAID OVER $400 AND THE REPLACED THE STARTER AND YELLOW SOLINOID CABLE WHICH BRINGS POWER TO THE STARTER. STILL WILL NOT START OCCASIONALLY. THE DASH LIGHTS UP, BUT THE ENGINE DOESN'T TURN OVER...WAIT 5 MINUTES AND IT MAY START AT OTHER TIMES IT WON'T. VERY FRUSTRATING, BECAUSE IT IS RANDOM...MAY GO A WEEK STARTING FINE, AND THEN SUDDENLY IT WON'T START. SOMETIMES THIS HAPPENS FIRST THING IN THE MORNING, SOMETIMES ONLY AFTER SHORT 5 MINUTE TRIPS TO THE STORE, AND SOMETIMES AFTER LONG TRIPS. ALSO, I ALREADY HAD THE IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED DUE TO RECALL.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE AC/HEATER CONTROL UNTIL HAS A SHORT WHEN YOU PUSH THE BREAKS IT GOES OFF. PLUS IT HAS AFFECTED MY NAV/RADIO SYSTEM. I AM AFRAID THAT MY VWHICLE IS GOING TO CATCH ON FIRE. YOU CAN HIT A BUMP WHILE DRIVING AND IT WILL WORK. THE NAV/RADIO SYSTEM WILL TURN ON WHEN IT WANTS BUT AS SOON AS YOU PUT THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE OR TAP THE BREAKS IT GOES OFF. SOMETIMES IT SMELLS LIKE BURNT PLASTIC ON THE CONTROL PANEL WHERE THE AC/HEATER IS LOCATED. I HAVE SPOKE WITH THE LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP NEAR ME. THEY WILL NOT LOOK AT IT WITHOUT WANTING TO CHARGE ME AN OUTRAGEOUS PRICES. THIS IS NOT MY FAULT AND THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP IS ACTING LIKE I MADE A MISTAKE AND TORE UP MY VEHICLE. I CAN GET NO ANSWER OUT OF THEM.

SERVICE BRAKES, SUSPENSION, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
2006 JEEP COMMANDER WITH 93000. I HAVE HAD SERVICED MULTIPLE TIMES OVER BRAKES AND SUSPENSION. BRAKES WILL JUST GRIND WHEN TRYING TO STOP AT TIMES. BRAKES HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND PROBLEM STILL OCCURS. EVERY MECHANIC HAS SAID EVERYTHING LOOKS GOOD. HAD BIGOTIRES DO 3 INSPECTIONS ON BRAKES AND SUSPENSION AND EVERYTHING CHECKED OUT! SUSPENSION- I HAVE HAD SERVICES 3 TIMES. ALL NEW PARTS HAVE BEEN PUT ON FRONT DRIVERS SIDE YET PROBLEM STILL PERSIST. POPPING NOISE AND SQUEAKING WHEN TURNING AND HITTING SPEED BUMPS OR POT HOLES AND VERY NOISY WHEN BACKING UP. LIGHTING HAS ALSO STARTED TO GO OFF AND ON! I BELIEVE SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE LIGHTING. SOMETIMES WHEN I TURN THEM ON THEY DO NOT COME ON AND ONCE I TURNED THEM OFF AND THEY DID NOT TURN OFF AND MADE BATTERY GO DEAD BUT ONCE JUMPS THEY WERE BACK TO NORMAL EXCEPT MY BACK TAIL LIGHT WHICH I HAVE TRIED HAVING REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES DOES NOT WORK ANYMORE AND FRONT PASSENGER SIDE HEAD LIGHT HAS SOME MAJOR ISSUES! ALSO IT IS VERY HARD TO SEE WHEN IT RAINS EVEN WITH BRAND NEW WIPERS THERE JUST WASN'T MUCH THOUGHT PUT INTO THE COMMANDERS! TOO MANY BLIND SPOTS AND ALSO DOOR HANDLES ON THE INSIDE EASILY BREAK OFF!

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER 4.7. LAST MONTH AFTER COMING HOME FROM ANOTHER STATE, THE CAR PARKED FOR SEVERAL DAYS WHILE I WAS OUT OF TOWN IT WOULD NOT CRANK WHEN I WENT TO START IT... JUST THE CLICKING SOUND. MY BOYFRIEND JUMPED IT AND IT OVERHEATED HIS CABLE. THEN IT HAPPENED AFTER SITTING JUST OVERNIGHT, SAME SCENARIO. I DID NOT LEAVE ANYTHING ON LIKE LIGHTS, ETC. I HAD THE BATTERY CHECKED AND IT WAS FINE. IT BEGAN TO HAPPEN MORE FREQUENTLY (SEVERAL NIGHTS IN A ROW). TOOK IT INTO A DEALER AND HE REPLACED A FEW PARTS BUT NOTHING CHANGED. THEN THE BATTERY STARTED DRAINING AFTER SITTING FOR 15 MINUTES WITH THE IGNITION OFF. TOOK IT TO A FRIEND WHO'S AN AUTO MECHANIC, HE SAID SOMETHING WAS DISCHARGING FROM SOMEWHERE.
