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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS NOW I INTERMITTENTLY RECEIVE A "TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP" MESSAGE IN MY DASH AND THE CAR WON'T START FOR ABOUT 24 HOURS LATER. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS AFTER A GOOD RAIN. I WILL DRIVE TO SOMEWHERE AND THEN PARK FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES. WHEN I TRY TO START THE VEHICLE, IT DOESN'T START UNTIL ABOUT 24 HOURS LATER. I REPLACED THE BATTERY AND STILL HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. AUTO SHOPS WERE NOT ABLE TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND NO ONE SEEMS TO HAVE A CLUE HOW TO FIX THIS. RIGHT NOW THE VEHICLE IS UNRELIABLE AS IF I GO SOMEWHERE THERE IS A RISK THAT I WILL BE STRANDED.

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!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE IGNITION WOULD NOT TURN OFF AND LET THE KEY FOB BE REMOVED. WE FINALLY HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AS THE KEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING. COULD NOT GET THE KEY TO TURN ON IN ORDER TO PUT THE COMMANDER IN ANY GEAR IN ORDER FOR IT TO BE PLACED ON THE FLATBED. THE WIN MODULE HAD TO BE REPLACED AND NEW KEYS BOUGHT. I DO SEE WHERE THE WIN MODULE IS ON RECALL BUT NOT THE VIN # OF MY 2008 COMMANDER.
