POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
JEEP COMMANDER GETS HARD JOLT, AS IF BEING HIT FROM BEHIND, AND ENGINE "DIES". NO LIGHTS ON DASH, JUST WON'T GO. ENGINE DOESN'T REV. TACH AT 0 REGARDLESS OF AMOUNT OF ACCELERATOR. YOU CAN PUT IT IN PARK AND IT WILL START AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, I HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, ALWAYS WITH THE REPORT OF NOTHING IS SHOWING ON THE COMPUTER REPORT. I HAVE SPENT OVER $1000 ON VARIOUS FUEL SYSTEMS SERVICES, TUNE UPS, ETC WHICH THEY SAY MAY BE THE PROBLEM, BUT IT IS STILL STALLING. DEALER SAYS THAT THE PROBLEM CAN'T BE REPLICATED. WITH ALL THESE REPORTS, AND THE OBVIOUS DANGER OF AN UNEXPECTED STALL THIS IS LIFE THREATENING AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILE OPENING THE RIGHT REAR PASSENGER DOOR OF MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLE BROKE, THIS PREVENTED THE PASSENGER FROM EXITING THE VEHICLE. I CONTACTED THE JEEP DEALER AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY ISSUES RELATING TO THE DOOR HANDLE. I REMOVED THE DOOR PANEL AND MADE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS. TWO MONTHS LATER THE LEFT REAR HANDLE BROKE AND THEN THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER HANDLE BROKE. I MADE REPAIRS TO BOTH OF THOSE HANDLES AS WELL. LAST MONTH THE RIGHT REAR HANDLE HAS BROKEN AGAIN, I HAVE DID A TEMPORARY REPAIR ON THE HANDLE. MY FEARS ARE THAT IF I WAS TO GET IN SOME TYPE OF ACCIDENT WHERE THE PASSENGER(S) WOULD HAVE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE IN A HURRY THAT THE HANDLES WILL FAIL AND THE PASSENGER(S) WILL NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE IN A TIMELY MANNER AND COULD RESULT IN THE PASSENGER(S) BEING TRAPPED INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THERE SHOULD BE SOME TYPE OF SAFETY RECALL.

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
ON MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER, 3 OUT OF THE 4 INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ARE BROKEN. THE PLASTIC ON THE DOORS FIRST BEGAN TO CRACK, PRODUCING HOLES IN THE HANDLE CUT-OUT. NOW THE INTERIOR HANDLES MOVE UP AND DOWN, AND IF NOT SITUATED PROPERLY, PREVENT YOU FROM ENTERING OR EXITING THE VEHICLE. OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR EVERY PASSENGER IN THE CAR. AFTER DOING ONLINE RESEARCH, IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A PERVASIVE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT THE WHOLE DOOR PANEL NEEDS REPLACING AT AN APPROXIMATE COST OF $500 PER PANEL AND IS NOT COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. THEY SUGGESTED I LOOK ONLINE FOR REPLACEMENTS AND THEY WOULD HAPPILY INSTALL THEM. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
MARCH OF 2009 WE EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM WITH OUR 2006 JEEP COMMANDER WITH THE ELECTRONICS IN THE VEHICLE SHUTTING DOWN CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL. WE TOOK IT INTO OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY INFORMED US THAT THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE SHIFTER MODULE AND THAT IT HAD TO BE REPLACED. WELL $2500 LATER AND MISSING PARTS WE REQUESTED TO KEEP OUR VEHICLE WAS BACK IN OUR POSSESSION WITH THE PROBLEM STILL HAPPENING. NOT AS SEVERE AS WHAT IT HAD BEEN PRIOR TO SENDING IT IN, HOWEVER STILL HAPPENING. THIS EVENING MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK WHEN THIS HAPPENED AGAIN. ONLY THIS TIME THE ABS WENT OUT AND THE BRAKES STARTED PUMPING FOR NO REASON, AS WELL AS THE VEHICLE STALLING OUT WHILE DRIVING 110KMPH. WHEN HOME WE REVIEWED RECALLS RECOMMENDED FOR 2006 JEEP COMMANDERS AND THERE IS ONE WHERE IT DESCRIBES THE SYMPTOMS OUR VEHICLE IS HAVING IN QUITE DETAIL. AMONGST INVESTIGATING FURTHER IT WAS DETERMINED THAT OUT PARTICULAR VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ALTHOUGH EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS. *TR
