ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
SOON AFTER I PURCHASE MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER SPORT 4X4 (5 SPEED)... I BEGAN TO DO SOME RESEARCH ON THIS VEHICLE (I SHOULD HAVE DONE THIS PRIOR TO THE PURCHASE)... I WAS GOING THROUGH THIS COMPLAINT DATABASE AND I WAS ALARMED TO READ THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS A HISTORY OF STALLING. WELL, IT FINALLY HAPPENED TO ME ON 11/4/2007 (WITH 11,600 EXACT MILEAGE) DRIVING HOME FROM SHOPPING WITH MY FAMILY. THE COMMANDER STALLED OUT ON DURING THE HIGHWAY MERGED. LUCKILY, I WAS IN THE FAR RIGHT LANE TO JUMP OFF THE HIGHWAY IMMEDIATELY. THE POWER LOSS THAT I EXPERIENCE WAS ONLY WITH ABILITY TO MOVE THE VEHICLE. MY DASHBOARDS LIGHTS, HEADLIGHTS, RADIO; BREAKS WERE FULLY OPERATIONAL (THANKFULLY). NO ACCIDENTS, NO INJURIES EXCEPT MY CHILDREN ARE NOW AFRAID OF BEING INSIDE OF THE COMMANDER. TO BE HONEST, SO AM I. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS REPORTS ON WHAT IS OCCURRING?.. EVERYTHING FROM DOWNLOADING AN UPGRADED TO DEBRIS IN THE HOSE. EITHER WAY, CHRYSLER NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS IMMEDIATELY; THE POTENTIAL OF DEATH IS VERY REALISTIC. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THREE TIMES I EXPERIENCED POWER LOSS WHILE DRIVING MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER, 4X4. THE FIRST TIME -- I TURNED THE IGNITION TO START THE JEEP AND IT DIDN'T KICK OVER RIGHT AWAY, ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS LIT UP SIMULTANEOUSLY, THEN RANDOMLY AND AT VARYING LENGTHS OF TIME WENT OUT. THE DASH LIGHTS AND THE RADIO WERE TURNING ON AND OFF. WEIRD, I SHUT IT OFF AND WAITED ABOUT 2 MINUTES. I STARTED IT AGAIN AND EVERYTHING SEEMED OK (EXCEPT THE AIRBAG LIGHT REMAINED ON). AS I WAS PULLING OUT OF THE PARKING LOT ONTO THE MAIN ROAD, THE DASHBOARD LIT UP AGAIN, FLASHING ON AND OFF AS BEFORE, AND THEN A CLUNK-JERK -- NO POWER STEERING, NO POWER BRAKES, LIGHTS STILL GOING CRAZY. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO COAST INTO ANOTHER PARKING LOT, STOP SAFELY. I TURNED IT OFF, WAITED 5 MINUTES, THEN IT STARTED AND I MADE IT HOME WITHOUT INCIDENT (AIRBAG LIGHT STILL LINGERED FOR A WHILE). TWO AND A HALF WEEKS LATER, AS I WAS LEAVING MY HOUSE (SO I WAS GOING SLOW) THE DASHBOARD STARTED THE SAME FLASHING ROUTINE AS BEFORE. I SHUT THE JEEP OFF IMMEDIATELY, WAITED ABOUT 2 MINUTES AND RE-STARTED. NO FURTHER PROBLEMS BUT THE AIRBAG LIGHT LINGERED A FEW MINUTES AS BEFORE. THE THIRD INCIDENT (OCTOBER 29TH), I WAS DRIVING ALONG THE MAIN ROAD ABOUT 40 MHP ON A STRAIGHT SMOOTH SECTION WHEN ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS BEGAN FLASHING ON/OFF (OH, NO!). AT THE FIRST OPPORTUNITY I TURNED OFF THE MAIN ROAD AND KEPT DRIVING SLOWLY TO MY GARAGE. I MADE IT THERE WITHOUT LOSING THE STEERING/BRAKES, LIGHTS FLASHING THE WHOLE WAY. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT NOW. THE DEALER IS UNABLE TO RE-CREATE THE PROBLEM, THEIR ONLY SOLUTION WAS TO CALL THE MANUFACTURER, WHO SUGGESTS THAT I REMOVE THE OTHER THREE KEYS FROM MY KEYRING BECAUSE THEIR WEIGHT MUST BE CAUSING THE HIGHLY-SENSITIVE IGNITION TUMBLER TO TOGGLE TO ACCESSORY MODE. UUUUUGGGGHHHHHH. I AM NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THIS EXPLANATION. I AM STILL AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. WHAT SHOULD I DO? *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
PULSATING OF BRAKES WHEN APPLIED TO COME TO A STOP. ASKED DEALERSHIP 2X TO CHECK. FIRST TIME WAS TOLD THEY WERE FINE, SECOND TIME THEY TOOK OUT FOR A TEST DRIVE AND EXPERIENCED THE PULSING. INSPECTED THE BRAKE SYSTEM AND FOUND THAT ALL 4 ROTORS WERE NOT WORN DOWN, BUT WERE WARPED. THEY EXPLAINED THAT IT WAS MOST LIKELY CAUSED BY BEING HEATED UP BY FREQUENTLY STOPPING SHORT. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 30 YEARS AND HAVE HAD MANY VEHICLES AND NEVER AN ISSUE WITH REPLACING ROTORS AFTER 2 YEARS, NOT DUE TO THE LIFE OF THE ROTOR, BUT WARPING. I HAVE BEEN IN THE SAME JOB FOR 23 YEARS AND DRIVING THE SAME ROADS. I DO NOT FREQUENTLY STOP SHORT OR RIDE MY BRAKES. IF ANYTHING I UTILIZE THE FEATURE OF DOWN SHIFTING AS NOT TO APPLY THE BRAKES AS OFTEN. I WAS TOLD THAT WHEN I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE THERE SHOULD NOT BE ANY ISSUES BECAUSE IT WAS A FIRST MODEL BECAUSE IT WAS BASED ON THE JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION SUIT REGARDING THE BRAKES ON THAT MODEL. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER STALLS ON ME WHY DRIVING. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR 8 MONTHS NOW. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THE CAR WILL SHUT DOWN ON YOU WHEN DRIVING. PROMPTING YOU TO HAVE TO BRING THE CAR TO A COMPLETE STOP TO RESTART. I HAVE BEEN DEALING FOR MONTHS ON THIS ISSUE AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. I AM I N A RENTAL CAR 90% OF THE TIME. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO GET OFF THEIR ASS AND DOING SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT. I AM INTERSTED AND FILEING A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST THEM. IF YOU ARE INTERSTED AND YOUR JEEP IS STALLING TOO. PLEASE CONTACT ME. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MORE THEN ONE OCCASION. THE 1ST COUPLE OF TIMES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ONE, IT TOOK 2 TIMES THERE AND THEY REPLACED THE MODULAR. AFTER THAT THAT WAS TAKEN CARE OF BUT THEN WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET ALL THE INSTRUMENT LIGHTS ON THE PANEL CAME ON AND ALL GAUGES WENT TO ZERO. THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED, I WAS DRIVING TO WORK GOING ABOUT 35 MILES PER HOUR, AGAIN ALL LIGHTS ON INSTRUMENT PANEL CAME ON AND THE JEEP STALLED CAUSING MY WHEELS TO LOCK AND MY STEERING TO NOT WORK, I HAD TO SKID OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, THANK GOODNESS NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME. I STARTED MY JEEP A COUPLE MINUTES LATER AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND ALL GAUGES WERE STILL AT ZERO AND FRIGHTENED, I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHICH WAS THERE A DAY BECAUSE THEY KNEW I WAS FURIOUS AT THIS TIME BECAUSE I COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT CAUSING INJURY TO MYSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS, I THEN GOT IT BACK AND WAS DRIVING HOME AGAIN THANK GOODNESS NOT ON THE FREEWAY AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER WHO TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE BECAUSE NOTHING IS BEING DETECTED ON THE CHIP SO THEY CAN NOT FIX IT, THEY ADVISED ME TO JUST DRIVE IT AND KEEP A LOG OF THE PATTERN TO HELP THEM DETERMINE THE CAUSE. I CALLED THE SERVICE MANAGER AND TOLD HIM THAT I HAVE A HUGE PROBLEM WITH THEM ASKING ME TO DRIVE THIS FOR A PATTERN AND CAUSING A POTENTIONALLY FATAL ACCIDENT TO GET A PATTERN WHICH THEY ALREADY KNOW HAD DONE THIS BEFORE, THE SERVICE MANGER IS HAVING THE SERVICE WRITER DRIVE MY JEEP AND HAS BEEN SO FOR ALMOST A WEEK NOW. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THIS ISSUE IS NOT BEING TAKEN SERIOUS, I COULD HAVE CAUSED A VERY VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON THE FREEWAY AND MORE SO WHEN IT STARTS TO SNOW. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE, NOT ONLY FOR MYSELF BUY OTHER'S ON THE ROAD. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF NOW BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES THERE LIFE. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM/PCM/TECM), SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
I HAVE EXPERIENCED 3 SEPARATE ACCIDENTS ON MAY 31 2006, AUGUST 2 2006 AND SEPTEMBER 20 2007 WITH THE 2006 JEEP COMMANDER LIMITED. I HAD JUST LEFT THE STOP SIGN IN THE FIRST ACCIDENT AND PROCEEDED INTO THE INTERSECTION OF A 2-WAY STOP. MY VEHICLE STALLED AND I COLLIDED WITH A GRAND AM. THE DRIVER OF THAT VEHICLE HAS FILED A CIVIL ACTION AGAINST ME IN WHICH METLIFE AUTO & CASUALTY HAS HIRED AN ATTORNEY TO REPRESENT ME. I WAS FOUND TO BE PRIMARILY AT FAULT FOR THIS ACCIDENT. THE LAWSUIT IS CLAIMING I WAS NEGLIGENT. THE SECOND ACCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN I WAS TURNING AROUND TO GET A BETTER "SHOT" INTO A PRIVATE DRIVEWAY. I SUCCESSFULLY TURNED AROUND IN A PARKING AREA ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE DRIVEWAY AND I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF ENTERING THE DRIVEWAY WHEN MY VEHICLE STALLED AND MY DRIVER SIDE FRONT BUMPER WAS STRUCK, BREAKING THE TIE ROD. THE POLICE AND THE OTHER PARTY'S INSURANCE FOUND THE OTHER DRIVER WHO WAS 93 TO BE AT FAULT FOR THE ACCIDENT. THE THIRD ACCIDENT OCCURRED ON SEPTEMBER 20 2007, WHEN I WAS ATTEMPTING TO TURN LEFT ON A GREEN LIGHT FROM A TURN LANE. I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF TURNING LEFT WHEN ANOTHER DRIVER WHO WAS SPEEDING COLLIDED WITH MY VEHICLE WHICH HAD STALLED DURING THE LEFT HAND TURN. THE PASSENGER FRONT BUMPER WAS DAMAGED INCLUDING A BROKEN TIE ROD. THE OTHER DRIVER'S INSURANCE HAS DETERMINED I AM PRIMARILY AT FAULT FOR THAT ACCIDENT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I OWN A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. IT STARTED STALLING ON ME IN FEB OR 07. SINCE THEN IT HAS STALLED 20 TIMES OR MORE. IT WAS AT THE DEALERS MANY OF TIME WITH ME IN A RENTAL CAR FOR PERIODS OF OVER 2 MONTHS AT A TIME. THEY HAVE YET TO FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS WITH MY JEEP. IT WAS LABELED A LEMON BY CHRYSLER BUT THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME AN OUTRAGEOUS AMOUNT FOR USE ON THE CAR. I DON'T FEEL FOR SAFETY REASONS THIS CAR SHOULD EVEN BE ON THE ROAD. I HAVE TOLD CHRYSLER IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO ME OR MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR WHEN IT STALLS THEY ARE 100% LIABLE. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE. IT WILL STALL JUST DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I HAVE HAD MY STALL WITH NO WARNING ON ARE LOCAL HWY HERE I90. VERY UNSAFE THIS AUTO IS. I WANT MY MONEY BACK OR A REPLACEMENT WITH OUT ALL THE PENALTIES. THIS IS JUST STUPID I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS SINCE FEB 07 AND I AM TIRED OF IT. I BOUGHT THE CAR TO DRIVE NOT HAVE IT IN THE SHOP BE MAKING THE PAYMENTS ON IT AND WHEN I DO HAVE IT FEAR FOR MY FAMILY'S AND MY OWN SAFETY IN THE CAR. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, STEERING, AIR BAGS
SINCE THE BEGINNING OF OWNERSHIP, THIS CAR HAS STALLED MANY TIMES (AS WELL AS OTHER VARIOUS AND ODD ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS.) MANY TIMES I CAN TURN THE CAR OFF AND ON AND IT WILL RESTART. THIS DOES HAPPEN IN PARKING LOTS AND HIGHWAY SPEEDS AS WELL. I HAVE ALSO LOST POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WHEN IN PARKING LOTS AT A VERY SLOW ACCELERATION SPEED. I HAVE ALSO HAD AIR BAG WARNING LIGHTS GO ON AND STAY ON THEN RANDOMLY SHUT OFF. THE DEALER HAS TRIED TO HELP RESOLVE BUT IS LIMITED BY CHRYSLER'S ABILITY TO RECOGNIZE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. IF THERE IS NO CODE IN THE CARS COMPUTER, THERE IS NO PROBLEM AND CAN'T BE DUPLICATED. IF THE PROBLEM CAN'T BE DUPLICATED, THERE IS NO REPAIR. BUT IT KEEPS HAPPENING OVER AND OVER. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH CHRYSLER WITH NO RESOLVE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS HAD MY CAR AND DROVE IT FOR 3 WEEKS TO TRY TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. SINCE IT IS SO RANDOM AND THEY JUST DIDN'T GET ENOUGH TIME/MILES IN, THE PROBLEM DIDN'T HAPPEN. IT STALLED AGAIN ABOUT 3 WEEKS AFTER THAT PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. THERE HAS BEEN NO REPAIR, BECAUSE CHRYSLER SAYS THERE IS NO PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WITH A 15 YEAR OLD ON A PERMIT DRIVING WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR SINCE MARCH 2006 AND THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING MANY TIMES REPEATEDLY SINCE THEN. NOT ALL HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED AND BECAUSE IT OCCASIONALLY HAPPENS ON WEEKENDS OR HOLIDAYS, I HAVE NO ABILITY TO GET IT IN TO A DEALERSHIP. IN ORDER FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO READ A CODE, I WOULD HAVE TO LEAVE THE CAR IN A STALLED POSITION WHEREVER IT OCCURRED AND HAVE IT TOWED DIRECTLY TO THE DEALER. THIS IS HIGHLY IMPRACTICAL AND UNSAFE. ESPECIALLY SCARY AT HIGH SPEEDS ON THE HIGHWAY. I DO NOT WANT TO BE A CASUALTY OF CHRYSLER'S FAILURE TO RECOGNIZE THAT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF THESE VEHICLES OUT THERE DOING THIS EXACT SAME THING. DO A "GOOGLE" SEARCH SEE THE #'S! SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE!!! *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT ON 4 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS OVER A PERIOD OF 2 WEEKS, THE VEHICLE LOST TOTAL ELECTRICAL POWER AND ENGINE SHUT OFF BY IT SELF. THE 2006 JEEP COMMANDER RESTARTED IMMEDIATELY AFTER PUTTING IN PARK AND TURNING IGNITION. THE JEEP WAS BROUGHT INTO THE JEEP SERVICE CENTER ON 9-11-2007. SERVICE TECH SAID THAT THEY HAD SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH ANOTHER JEEP COMMANDER IN THE SERVICE CENTER AND COULD NOT FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. PER THE SERVICE TECH NO ERROR MESSAGES WERE REPORTED. THEY CALLED CHRYSLER WHO TOLD THEM TO DO A PCM REFLASH INSTALL PER STAR. THE CAR HAS STALLED AGAIN SINCE THEN. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
MY WIFE'S JEEP COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHILE GOING 45 MILES AN HOUR AND SHE WENT OFF OF THE ROAD. THIS HAPPENED LESS THAN A MONTH AFTER WE TOOK IT TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP TO HAVE FIXED. THEY SAID AS IM SURE EVERY ONE WHO HAS PUT IN AN APPARENT USELESS COMPLAINT THAT " NO ERRORS ARE COMING UP AND THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE A PROBLEM. " WHAT BOTHERS ME THE MOST ABOUT THIS IS THAT JEEP HAS NOT ISSUED ANY STATEMENT AFTER THE COUNTLESS COMPLAINTS KEEP FILING IN. JUST BECAUSE NO ERROR MESSAGE IS COMING UP WHEN IT IS PLUGGED IN DOESN'T MEAN THESE HUNDREDS OF JEEP COMMANDER OWNERS ARE LYING ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING. I HAVE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT TOMORROW. THIS EXERCISE IS GETTING OLD . IT SHOULD NOT HAVE TO TAKE A DEATH FROM SOME ONE DRIVING THESE VEHICLES TO HAVE CHRYSLER DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS . I HAVE READ MANY OF THESE COMPLAINTS THAT OTHER CONCERNED DRIVERS HAVE PUT IN. APPARENTLY THIS SITE DOESN'T GET CHRSLERS ATTENTION . *JB
