ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON ABOUT 5 MINUTES AFTER I STARTED DRIVING THROUGH RESIDENTIAL STREETS AND ONTO A FREEWAY. I EXITED THE FREEWAY AND WENT TO THE AUTO STORE WHERE I HAD ORIGINALLY PURCHASED THE BATTERY FROM, ABOUT A YEAR AGO, WHICH IS LESS THAN 5 MILES FROM MY HOUSE. THEY TESTED MY BATTERY AND SAID THE BATTERY WAS GOOD BUT MY ALTERNATOR WAS BAD. I DROVE MY JEEP COMMANDER HOME AND PARKED IT IN THE GARAGE, PER USUAL. WHEN I EXITED MY JEEP THERE WAS NO ODOR, NO SMOKE, NO SOUND OF ANY SORTS COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. LESS THAN 20 MINUTES OF PARKING MY JEEP, MY JEEP WAS ON FIRE AND CAUGHT MY HOUSE ON FIRE. NO WARNING NOTHING! MY JEEP WAS 10 YEARS OLD AND JUST TURNED 103,000 MILES. I FAITHFULLY SERVICED MY JEEP AT THE LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP OR MIDAS. MY JEEP HAD NO PREVIOUS ISSUES OF ANY SORT (NO LOSS OF POWER, NO LEAKS, WASN'T RUNNING HOT, ETC.).

I HAVE A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER THAT I BOUGHT 2 MONTHS AGO. IT HAS BEEN ONE PROBLEM AFTER ANOTHER. FIRST OF ALL THE FIRST DAY IT RAINED THE WHOLE ENTIRE CAB WAS SOAKED, COME TO FIND OUT THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE SUNROOF DRAINAGE OF THESE JEEPS. THE DRAIN LINES DON'T STAY CONNECTED TO THE FLOOR AND WHEN THAT OCCURS THE CARPET GET DRENCHED. I HAD TO PULL ALL OF THE CARPET OUT OF THE JEEP BECAUSE OF MOLD CONCERNS. SECONDLY SHORTLY THEREAFTER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THE FIRST TIME I DROVE THE JEEP. TOOK IT TOO A MECHANIC AND THE CODE SHOWED A CRANK SENSOR AND A CAM SENSOR. GOT BOTH OF THOSE REPLACED AND IT REQUIRED A DRIVESHAFT REPAIR KIT. ANOTHER DAY LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF AGAIN. THE TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE AND SHIMMY SO WE HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF A HIGHWAY BECAUSE IT WASN'T SAFE. TOOK IT INTO ANOTHER MECHANIC THAT WAS CLOSER TO WHERE I WAS HAVING THE ISSUES AND THEY PUT ANOTHER SET OF CRANK AND CAM SENSORS IN AGAIN. SUPPOSINGLY I WAS GOOD TO GO BUT JUST 2 DAYS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON.WENT BACK TO ANOTHER MECHANIC THAT WAS CLOSE IN PROXIMITY TO WHERE I WAS HAVING TROUBLE IN WHICH THE TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE AND SHIMMY AGAIN. THIS MECHANIC FOUND A SHORT TO THE GROUND IN ALTANATER UNIT WHICH REQUIRED A NEW ALTANATER BECAUSE THE OTHER ONE WASN'T PULLING ENOUGH VOLTAGE. TODAY (SEPT 5TH) WENT TO START THE TRUCK AND IT STALLED AGAIN AND WHEN I RESTARTED IT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS BACK ON. I HAVE SPENT WELL OVER $2000 ON THIS SITUATION AND IT STILL ISN'T FIXED. I HAVE READ A LOT OF OTHER CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS MODEL AS WELL AS OTHERS WHO ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS FROM CHRYSLER TO FIX WHATEVER ISSUES THESE CARS ARE HAVING. THEY HAVE BEEN GETTING AWAY WITH THIS CRAP WAY TOO LONG NOW. GOING DOWN THE FREEWAY 70 PLUS MILES AN HOUR AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON.

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.
