LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
ALL INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ARE BROKEN. 3 OUT OF THE 4 ARE AT THE POINT WHERE IT'S VERY DIFFICULT AND TAKES A LONG TIME TO OPEN THE DOOR. THE PLASTIC PANELS BEHIND THE DOOR HANDLES ARE BROKEN. YOU HAVE TO WIGGLE THE HANDLE AROUND TO FIND THE RIGHT SPOT THAT OPENS THE DOOR. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. IT INCREASES THE RISK OF PASSENGERS BEING TRAPPED IN THE CAR IF IT WAS TO CATCH FIRE. *JS

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS DRIVING IN MY COMMUNITY ON A LOCAL STREET AT RATE OF 45 MILES HOUR. FOR NO REASON, MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER STALLED AND I HAD NO POWER OR ANYTHING CONTROL OF THE CAR. SCARY TO SAY THE LEAST. I HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTART MY CAR. NOW, WHEN I TRY TO START IT, THE HORN WILL NOT STOP AND I CANNOT TURN OFF MY FOG LAMPS OR HIGH BEAMS. NOW I AM MAD AND WANT ANSWERS. I PAY A LOT OF MONEY TO KEEP THIS CAR IN GOOD SHAPE, NOW THIS. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
IN THE 5 YEARS I HAVE OWNED THE 2006 JEEP COMMANDER IT HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING, STALLED WHILE PARKED. THIS HAPPENS AT NO SET FREQUENCY. SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS DAILY, OTHER TIMES IT WILL GO FOR MONTHS AND NOT HAPPEN. THE DASH LIGHTS REPEATEDLY FLASH OFF AND ON. SOME DASH LIGHTS DON'T WORK AT ALL FOR MONTHS THEN LIKE MAGIC WORK FINE FOR MONTHS. THE VEHICLE SPUTTERS WHEN ACCELERATING ALL THE TIME AND AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. IF I AM CROSSING OR TURINING I NEED TO MAKE SURE I HAVE LIKE 2 MILES BETWEEN ME AND ONCOMING TRAFFIC IN CASE IT DECIDES TO NOT WORK THAT TIME AND I GET STUCK IN THE INTERSECTION. THE CRUISE CONTROL NO LONGER WORKS. LUCKILY THE COMPUTER WENT OUT THAT CONTROLS THE CRUISE SO I CAN'T USE IT. THE CRUISE USED TO JUST SPEED UP AND SLOW DOWN ON ITS OWN. I WILL BE DRIVING ALONG AND ALL OF A SUDDEN WITHOUT NOTICE THE CAR WILL FLOOR ITSELF AND NOT STOP UNTIL I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL. REGARDLESS OF WHAT TEMPERATURE I HAVE THE HEATER SET TO THERE IS CONSTANTLY EXTREMELY HOT AIR BLOWING ON MY FEET. I CAN NOT DRIVE WITHOUT SHOES ON OR THE HOT AIR LITERALLY BURNS MY FEET. OVERALL- THERE ARE SOME SERIOUS ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL ISSUES WITH THE JEEP COMMANDER. I GOOGLED JEEP COMMANDER AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS (I AM SURE THOUSANDS) OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. *JS
