ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER WITH ONLY 13,000 MILES ON IT AND IT HAS STALLED TWICE WHILE DRIVING. DEALERSHIP HAS SEEN IT ONCE AND RELOADED COMPUTER SOFTWARE TO SEE IF THAT FIXES THE PROBLEM. THE SECOND TIME OCCURRED AFTER THAT SO IT'S BEING TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REVIEW. I AM NERVOUS ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY/CHILDREN. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I PURCHASED MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER IN OCT. 2005. FIRST, MY BRAKES WOULD SHIMMY WHEN I CAME TO A STOP. THEN, BEGINNING SEPT. 13, I NOTICED MY DASH BOARD LIGHTS FLASHING ON AND OFF AS I ACCELERATED AFTER A STOP AND DROVE UPHILL. NOW, IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I AM DRIVIG THE VEHICLE UPHILL OR ON LEVEL AREAS ON THE HIGHWAYS AND FREEWAYS. IT GETS WORSE AND WORSE EVERYDAY. ON MONDAY, SEPT. 17, I CALLED TONY MCCUNE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP AND ARRANGED FOR AN APPOINTMENT TO BRING MY VEHICLE FOR A CHECK UP. THE DEALERSHIP WANTED TO CHARGE ME $190 TO ANALYZE IT. THEN, THEY CALLED ME IN THE AFTERNOON AND SAID IT WOULD COST ME OVER $400 TO REPAIR THE JEEP EVENTHOUGH THEY STILL DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE. BEFORE I WENT IN THE NEXT DAY, I SURFED THE INTERNET AND LEARNED THAT CHRYSLER WAS RECALLING MY MODEL FOR THE CONDITIONS I EXPLAINED ABOVE (MALFUNCTION OF THE COMPUTER SYSTEM, WHICH AFFECTS THE BRAKING SYSTEM). THE DEALERSHIP INSISTED THAT MY JEEP WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. CALLING CHRYSLER IN OAK RIDGE, TN, I EXPERIENCED THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE FROM A REPRESENTATIVE WHO INSISTED THERE WAS NO RECALL IN PLACE FOR MY MODEL. THE DEALERSHIP CALLED ME BACK AND SAID THAT CHRYSLER WOULD EXTEND MY WARRANTY (SINCE IT HAD ALREADY EXPIRED) IF I WOULD PAY $100 DEDUCTIBLE. ATER I PICKED UP MY JEEP AND DRIVE OFF, I NOTICED THE SAME THING HAPPENING AS I DROVE ONTO THE FREEWAY. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND EXPLAINED THE SITUATION. THE REPRESENTATIVE (BRUCE) INSISTED THAT THE IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPAIRED. I DON'T BELIEVE THE DEALERSHIP EVER REPAIRED MY JEEP. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE RUN-AROUND I AM RECEIVING FROM JEEP, CHRYSLER AND THE LOCAL SERVICE REPS. I AM ALSO GRAVELY CONCERNED FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY IN THIS VEHICLE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM/PCM/TECM)
I PURCHASED MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER IN OCT. 2005 FROM MCCUNE CHRYSLER JEEP IN NATIONAL CITY, CA. INITIALLY, I STARTED NOTICING MY BRAKES SHIMMYING AS I CAME TO A STOP. I REPORTED TO MY DEALERSHIP A FEW TIMES BUT NO GOOD CAME OUT OF IT. THEN, LAST THURSDAY, SEPT. 13, I NOTICED MY DASHBOARD LIGHTS (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, BRAKES AND TRANSMISSION LIGHTS) FLASHING ON AND OFF AS I ACCELERATED FROM A STOP AND HEADED UPHILL. IT FELT AS THOUGH THE JEEP WANTED TO STOP AND GO AT THE SAME TIME. I REPORTED IT TO MY DEALERSHIP AND BROUGHT IN THE VEHICLE THE NEXT WEEK. THE DEALERSHIP QUOTED ME $190 TO ANALYZE IT (SINCE MY JEEP WAS ABOUT 8,000 MILES BEYOND THE WARRANTY PERIOD). THEN, THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD COST ME OVER $400 TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. I BEGAN TO RESEARCH THE INTERNET ABOUT RECALLS ON THIS MAKE AND MODEL AND FOUND THAT CHRYSLER HAD ISSUED A RECALL ON FRIDAY, SEPT. 14, 2007. I PRINTED THE ARTICLE AND BROUGHT IT TO MY SERVICE REP AT MCCUNE. THE REP INSISTED THAT IT WAS NOT MY PROBLEM AND THAT HIS DEALERSHIP HAD NOT HEARD OF A RECALL ON MY MAKE AND MODEL. SO, I CALLED CHRYSLER'S CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT IN OAK RIDGE, TN. THE REPRESENTATIVES THERE INSISTED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. FRUSTRATED, I ACCEPTED THE DEALERSHIPS OFFER TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE. THEY QUOTED ME A $100 DEDUCTIBLE TO PLACE THE VEHICLE UNDER WARRANTY. AS I DROVE OFF, THE SAME THING HAPPENED ALL OVER AGAIN. I CALLED THE SERVICE ADVISOR AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAD HAPPENED. HE INSISTED THAT HE TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE AND THE LIGHTS NEVER CAME ON. I DIDN'T BELIEVE HIM. I FEEL THAT HE MISLEAD ME AND THAT HIS DEALERSHIP NEVER REPAIRED MY VEHICLE. I WILL BRING MY VEHICLE BACK TO MCCUNE MONDAY MORNING (9/24/07) AND I WILL SEE WHAT WILL HAPPEN. I PAID FOR A RENTAL VEHICLE LAST WEEK (OVER $100 AND THE DEALERSHIP NEVER OFFERED TO COVER MY EXPENSES. I AM SO FRUSTRATED. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER AND I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM. EVERYTIME I TURN MY VEHICLES, AND SWITCH PEDALS FROM BRAKE TO GAS, MY CAR JUST LOCKS IN PLACE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE AS I AM GOING INTO A MAJOR INTERSECTIONS AND I ALMOST WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT (REAR ENDED) BECAUSE OF THIS. BASICALLY THE VEHICLE HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS DESCRIBED ON THE CHRYSLER RECALL PRESS RELEASE BUT ON THEIR WEBSITE I CHECKED THE VIN NUMBER AND IT SAYS THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE. *TR

MY HUSBAND AND I ARE LEASING A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER SINCE NOV 2005. I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN 3 SEPARATE TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS ON MAY 31 2006, AUGUST 8 2006 AND SEPTEMBER 20 2007. THE ENGINE STALLED DURING LOW SPEED TURNS ON BOTH AUGUST 8 2006 AND SEPTEMBER 20 2007. I HAD JUST LEFT A STOP SIGN ON MAY 31 2006 WHEN MY ENGINE STALLED IN THE INTERSECTION, RESULTING IN A CRASH. I WAS CITED FOR FAILURE TO YIELD ON MAY 31 2006. I WASN'T CITED ON AUGUST 8 2006 OR SEPTEMBER 20 2007, ALTHOUGH THE POLICE REPORT FROM THE SEPTEMBER 20 2007 ACCIDENT DESCRIBES A "FAILURE TO YIELD." I HAVE ALSO HAD ONGOING TIRE PRESSURE ISSUES AS WELL AS INTERMITTENT BRAKE FAILURE ISSUES. PRIOR TO MAY 31 2006 I HAD NEVER BEEN INVOLVED IN A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT NOR HAD I RECEIVED ANY TRAFFIC CITATIONS. I AM 48 YEARS OLD. MY VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED TWICE AFTER THE FIRST 2 ACCIDENTS, BUT I AM AWAITING CONTACT FROM THE OTHER PARTY'S AUTO INSURER BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH THE REPAIRS FOLLOWING YESTERDAY'S ACCIDENT. I'VE BROUGHT THE 2006 JEEP COMMANDER IN TO BUD MULCAHY'S JEEP ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THAT DEALERSHIP IS NOW CLOSED. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. WHEN THE CONTACT STARTED THE VEHICLE, THE HEADLIGHTS AND INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE. HE STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES FAILED TO WORK AS WELL. WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNED IN EITHER DIRECTION WITHOUT APPLYING THE BRAKES, THE ABS WOULD ENGAGE AND THE VEHICLE DECELERATED. THE CONTACT FELT THE PULSATING VIBRATION THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL AND HEARD THE ABS ENGAGE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH AND GREATER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE, HOWEVER, THEY RESET THE CODES IN THE VEHICLE. TWO WEEKS LATER, WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DIFFERENT DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE REMOTE START MODULE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE AND FOUR WHEEL DRIVE LIGHTS WOULD OFTEN ILLUMINATE AND DIM AUTOMATICALLY. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 20,000.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, VISIBILITY
MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER CONTINUALLY STALLS, THREATENING THE LIVES OF WHOEVER IS IN THE CAR. THERE IS NO WARNING. SUDDENLY THERE WILL BE A COMPLETE LOSS OF CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE. NO WARNING LIGHTS, NO BELLS, SOUNDS, WHISTLES...NOTHING! THE ONLY WAY TO REMEDY IS TO TURN VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART. THIS TURNS IN TO A LIFE THREATENING INCIDENT WHEN THE TRAFFIC BEHIND YOU IS UNAWARE THAT YOU ARE IN FACT STALLED. THE DEALERSHIP HAS NO UPDATES OR COMPLAINTS OF THIS PROBLEM (YA, RIGHT) AND DRIVES IT AROUND THE BLOCK...WITH NO INCIDENCES OCCURRING. IF THEY THINK IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN WHILE THEY'RE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THEY'RE WRONG. I 'M RISKING MY FAMILIES LIVES EVERY TIME WE GET IN THE CAR. IT'S THE MOST EXPENSIVE PIECE OF JUNK I'VE EVER OWNED! VISIBILITY OUT THE REAR WINDOW WHEN THE 3RD ROW SEATS ARE UP IS JUST ABOUT ZERO. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. YOU CAN'T SEE CARS, KIDS, OR YOUR NEIGHBORS HOUSE WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO SEE WHAT'S BEHIND YOU. DRIVER'S SIDE LOCKS ON IT'S OWN. LUCKILY THE PASSENGER DOORS REMAIN UNLOCKED, SO I HAVEN'T LOCKED MYSELF OUT...YET. *JB

ONCE WITH MY WIFE DRIVING AND ONCE WITH ME WHICH I WILL DESCRIBE HERE: DRIVING UPHILL AT ABOUT 35 MPH AND TRAFFIC LIGHT AT TOP OF HILL TURNED RED. REMOVED RIGHT FOOT FROM ACCELERATOR AND PUSHED ON BRAKE PEDAL. THE PEDAL FELT VERY STIFF AND DID NOT TRAVEL THE NORMAL DISTANCE. BRAKES DID NOT ENGAGE REGARDLESS OF HOW HARD I PRESSED ON PEDAL. HAD TO SWERVE TO SHOULDER. AFTER ABOUT 3 SECONDS THE BRAKES KICKED IN MY LOCKING UP ALL 4 TIRES. *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
WHILE DRIVING OUR PRACTICALLY NEW FAMILY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER THE ENGINE STALLED, AT HIGHWAY SPEED (70 MPH +). I PULLED TO THE SHOULDER; AND RE-STARTED THE JEEP. I DROVE ABOUT 40 MILES, AND W/O WARNING THE JEEP STALLED AGAIN. IT ALSO STALLED A FEW DAYS LATER, AS I DROVE AT CITY SPEED (30 MPH). EVERY THING APPEARED TO BE NORMAL DURING THESE OCCURRENCES -- NO WARNING LIGHTS OR BEEPS. WHEN MY HUSBAND AND I RETURNED FROM THE TRIP, WE TOOK THE JEEP TO THE DEALER. THEY KEPT THE JEEP 6 DAYS. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT REP. SAID THE ENGINEERS WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, THAT EVERY THING CHECKED OUT OKAY. THE REP DID SAY THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT DO NOT HAVE A FIX, HOWEVER HE WAS ADVISED TO RELEASE THE JEEP TO US. WE OBJECTED TO TAKING THE JEEP AND THE DEALER WORKED OUT AN ACCEPTABLE DEAL ON ANOTHER MODEL. WE BOUGHT THE JEEP NEW, 3 MONTHS BEFORE THE INCIDENT. *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
TWICE WHILE PULLING INTO PARKING SPACES, ONCE WHILE PULLING OUT OF A DRIVE-THROUGH INTO THE MAIN ROAD, AND ONCE WHILE COMING TO A STOP SIGN, MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER HAS STALLED, LOSING BRAKES AND STEERING. I HAVE TO RESTART THE CAR USING THE KEY. NO INDICATOR LIGHT TELLS ME WHAT HAPPENED OR THAT THERE IS ANYTHING WRONG. THE FIRST TIME IT TOOK INTO THE DEALER, THEY SAID THAT MY COMPUTERIZED FUEL MIX RATIO WAS WAY OFF. THEY SAID IT SHOULD BE AT 0 AND THAT MINE WAS AT 6.SOMETHING. THEY RESET IT TO 1.5, THE LOWEST THEY COULD GET IT TO. THEY FELT THAT THIS WAS THE PROBLEM CAUSING THE STALL. I GOT THE CAR BACK AND IT DID NOT STALL FOR TWO MONTHS BUT THEN STALLED AGAIN. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY COMPUTERIZED INDICATOR TO TELL THEM WHY THIS WAS HAPPENING AND COULD NOT MAKE IT HAPPEN WHILE IT WAS AT THE SHOP. THE SHOP MANAGER SAID THAT HE EVEN LOOKED ON THE INTERNET TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY OTHER CASES AND COULD FIND NONE. HESAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING FROM DAIMLER/CHRYSLER ABOUT IT EITHER. WHEN I WENT TO THE NTSBA WEB SITE, I FOUND THAT THERE WAS AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS SINCE FEB 2007 AND THAT DAIMLER/CHRYSLER RESPONDED THAT THEY ARE NOW DOING THEIR OWN INVESTIGATION. IF THIS IS THE CASE, WHY WOULD THE DEALERSHIP NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I GOT THE CAR BACK AND WITHIN TWO WEEKS IT STALLED AGAIN AT THE STOP SIGN. THIS LAST INCIDENT WAS ON SEPT 13, 2007. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY DO NOT HAVE A SOLUTION. *TR

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
