ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
WORST VEHICLE EVER! WE GOT IT WITH AROUND 98K MILES ON IT, AND IT NOW ONLY HAS 103K MILES ON IT AND IN THE LAST 4K WE'VE PUT OVER $5K INTO IT TRYING TO GET IT TO RUN. WE HAD TO PUT A NEW TRANSMISSION IN ($2K) AND HAVE THE LIFTERS IN THE ENGINE REPLACED ($2,600). CURRENTLY IT'S BEEN SHUTTING OFF ON ITS OWN A FEW SECONDS AFTER I START IT AND GIVING RANDOM "TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP" AND "SERVICE 4X4 SYSTEM" MESSAGES EVEN THOUGH THERE'S NOT A PROBLEM WITH THOSE SYSTEMS. I TURN THE KEY, IT RUNS FOR 3 SECONDS, THEN SHUTS OFF. SOMETIMES IT DOES THIS SEVERAL TIMES IN A ROW AND THEN WON'T START AT ALL. OTHER TIMES IT STARTS FINE SO IT'S RIDICULOUSLY HARD TO DIAGNOSE. SOMETIMES WHEN IT'S DOING IT'S SHUT DOWN BIT, YOU CAN GET IT TO STAY ON A LITTLE LONGER BY REVVING THE ENGINE, AND IT WILL LET YOU PULL OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, BUT THEN SHUTS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. THE SUN ROOF LEAKS HORRIFICALLY, EVEN AFTER I'VE TRIED THE "CLIP THE NIPPLES OFF THE BOTTOM OF THE HOSES" TRICK.

WHILE DRIVING THE 2006 KEEP COMMANDER THE VEHICLE WILL START STALLING FROM DRIVING AS YOU PRESS THE GAS IT WILL NOT PULL AND MAKE A LOUD NOISE AND TURN OFF. THERE WAS A LOT OF SMOKE THAT CAME FROM THE HOOD OF THE CAR. WHEN YOU TRY TO START IT BACK UP IT WILL NOT START AND KEEP MAKING A WEIRD NOISE LIKE IT'S OUT OF GAS. THE GAS TANK IS FULL AND IT STILL WANT START. THE TRUCK WAS TOWED TO A MECHANICAL SHOP AND THEY ADVISED ME IT WAS A BAD ENGINE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
OUR 2006 JEEP COMMANDER HAS HAD A RECURRING PROBLEM OF STALLING AT RANDOM TIMES, WHILE BOTH DRIVING AND IDLING. EVERY DAY WE START THE VEHICLE BUT CANNOT DRIVE IT RIGHT AWAY BECAUSE IT STALLS OUT IF WE DON'T WAIT AT LEAST 5 MINUTES TO "WARM IT UP". ANOTHER EXAMPLE, WE WERE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AND TURNING LEFT IN AN INTERSECTION AND IT STALLED OUT WHILE IN MOTION AND LOST CONTROL OF STEERING AND BRAKING. I NOTICED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS FOR THOUSANDS OF 2006 JEEP COMMANDERS, BUT OUR VIN # SHOWS NO RECALLS FOR OUR CAR. WE ARE HAVING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM WITH THIS TRUCK AS THE OTHER OWNERS OF RECALLED 2006 JEEP COMMANDERS. IT IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP FOR THE THIRD TIME AND THE MECHANICS CANNOT RECREATE THE STALL WHILE MOVING ISSUE AND CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHY IT IS HESITATING AND STALLING. THIS IS MY 16 YEAR OLD NEW DRIVER'S VEHICLE AND I'M AFRAID FOR HER SAFETY.

THE VEHICLE IS CONSTANTLY STALLING....AND HAS TO BE RESTARTED. THIS OCCURS AT STOP LIGHTS, WHILE IDLING, WHILE STARTING TO BRAKE SO YOU DON'T HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF YOU. IF IT DOESN'T STALL INSTEAD IT WILL REV UP THE RPMS ON ITS OWN WHILE YOU ARE BRAKING AND JUMP FORWARD... ALSO THIS OCCURS WITH YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE IT WILL STILL JUMP FORWARD. PROBLEM CONTINUES.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE THROUGH A STONE TUNNEL ON THE BLUE RIDGE PARKWAY THAT HAD NO LIGHTING WITHIN THE TUNNEL THE JEEP SUFFERED AN TOTAL ELECTRICAL FAILURE AND A TOTAL BLACKOUT TOOK PLACE. THANKFUL THAT I WAS NOT KILLED AND THAT NO ONE ELSE WAS IN THE TUNNEL AT THE TIME, THE JEEP WAS COASTED TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE TUNNEL AND OFF TO THE SIDE ON THE GRASS. HAD ANYONE BEEN COMING IN EITHER DIRECTION I MAY HAVE HAD ENOUGH LIGHT BUT IT WAS PITCH BLACK. I HAVE READ OF HUNDREDS OF ELECTRICAL FAILURES IN THIS JEEP VEHICLE AND WONDER WHY I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED. THIS IS A PRODUCT WARRANTY ISSUE FOR JEEP AND IT NEARLY WAS ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR VEHICULAR HOMICIDE! THE JEEP JUST CUT OFF ALL ELECTRIC AND NOT EVEN DASHBOARD LIGHTS AFFORDED VISUAL. I HAVE THE PARK RANGERS REPORT AND SHE SAID THIS MOST LIKELY WAS TOTAL ELECTRICAL FAILURE. I HAVE PICTURES FROM THE ACCIDENT AS THE JEEP HIT THE STONE TUNNEL SIDE AND THEN THE STEERING ROD ON THE RIGHT BROKE. THE INSURANCE COMPANY CHOSE TO JUNK THE JEEP AND I WAS LEFT WITHOUT EVEN A RENTAL CAR. I HAVE PICTURES AND THE RANGERS REPORT AND MY REPORT IF REQUESTED. HOW DO I CONTACT JEEP FOR A PRODUCT LIABILITY COMPLAINT?

ENGINE
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. ENGINE SURGED RPMS AND LOST ALL POWER WHILE DRIVING. I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND STARTED IT BACK UP. UPON PARKING, RPMS SURGED AGAIN, VEHICLE TRIED TO PULL FORWARD BEFORE THE RPMS DROPPED AND STALLED THE ENGINE IN DRIVE. I CHECKED USED MY SCAN TOOL TO CHECK THE CODE AND IT CAME BACK P1521 WHICH IS FOR WRONG ENGINE OIL. I USED ROYAL PURPLE 5W20 IN MY LAST OIL CHANGE. IT DROVE THE VEHICLE FOR 2098 MILES BEFORE THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED WITH NO ISSUES IN BETWEEN. I NOTICED THE 4.7 LITRE HAD A RECALL DONE FOR THE SAME EXACT ISSUE AND IT BEING A SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR THE POWER CONTROL MODULE.
