THE DOOR HANDLES OF MY JEEP COMMANDER 2006 HAVE SNAPPED. THR VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. FIRST IT WAS THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE DOOR, THEN BEFORE I COULD SCHEDULE TO GET THAT ONE FIXED, THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HANDLE SNAPPED. I ACCEPTED THAT IT MAY BE COINCIDENCE, UNTIL ONE MONTH LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO MY DIVERS SIDE DOOR! IT CAN'T BE COINCIDENCE AND NOW I HAVE DIFFICULTY GETTING OUT OF MY VEHICLE. IT DEFINITELY POSES A SAFETY ISSUE.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING, STRUCTURE:BODY
FIRST ANNOYANCE WAS THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. IT FAILED TO OPEN THE DOOR AT AROUND 45,000 MILES. THEN THE REAR PASSENGER INSIDE DOOR HANDLE JUST CRUMBLED OUT OF NOWHERE AROUND 47,000 MILES. THEN AROUND 50,000 MILES THE BRAKES 'FELT DIFFERENT' WHEN BRAKING AND IT FELT TO HARD TO PRESS DOWN ON THE PEDAL TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE BRAKE PEDAL FELT HARD AS A ROCK THEN THE ABS WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND AFTER A DIAGNOSIS I WAS TOLD THAT IT HAD TO BE REPLACED. WHENEVER WE WENT THROUGH A PUDDLE OF WATER ON A TURN THE JEEPS STEERING WOULD LOCK UP AND JUST KEPT MOVING FORWARD & NOT TURNING.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
MY FAVORITE, JEEP COMMANDER 2006 3.7 V6. 103600 MILEAGE. THE CAR SHUTS DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FROM LAST NOVEMBER. I FEEL LIKE I'M IN A DEATH TRAP BECAUSE WHEN CARS GOING 60 - 70 MPH ON I-495 AND CAR LOST POWER. ALL I CAN REALLY DO IS PRAY THAT MY FAMILY DON'T GET KILLED. THE DEALER FIXED FLIPPING KEY PROBLEM AT THE SAME YEAR OF SUMMER BECAUSE OF THE RECALL. THIS IS REALLY NOT RELATED I BELIEVE. IT HAPPENED 6 TIMES MOSTLY WINTER SEASON BETWEEN NOVEMBER THROUGH JANUARY EASTERN TIME LAST YEAR, AND THIS STALLING PROBLEM CAME BACK LAST SUNDAY DEC 10TH, 2017 WHILE DRIVING ON NORTHERN STATE PARKWAY TO MICRO CENTER IN NY. 3 TIMES ALREADY THIS SEASON. THE BEST WAY ONLY I FOUND FOR OUR SAFETY. SLOWLY MOVE OVER ON THE SHOULDER FINDING PLACE TO STOP WHILE SPEEDING DOWN, AND HAVE ONE CHANCE OF STOP TO BREAK VEHICLE WITHOUT POWER. HOWEVER, LUCKILY IT STARTS AGAIN AND RUNS NORMAL. THE DEALER, DAIMLER CHRYSLER CONSUMER CENTER. THEY NEVER CARE ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND KEEP CHARGING FOR THE SERVICE WITHOUT A SOLUTION. MY RESEARCH IS ON GOING TO FIND ECM, PCMA, AND FCM PROBLEMS. I AM SCARED FOR MY FAMILIES SAFETY. THE CAR CUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. ANY IDEAS, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP US.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS PULLING OUT INTO BUSY TRAFFIC FROM A SIDE STREET. I ACCELERATED QUICKLY AND WHEN I BACKED MY FOOT OFF THE PEDDLE THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. I TAPPED THE PEDDLE A COUPLE TIMES THINKING IT WAS CAUGHT ON THE FLOOR MATT (NOT).IT BACK OFF AND THEN IT DID IT BRIEFLY AGAIN BEFORE CORRECTING ITSELF. THIS WAS ALL IN A 10 SEC. TIME PERIOD..... THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY. I STEPPED DOWN TO PASS A CAR AND THE PEDDLE MOVED TO THE FLOOR AND STAYED THERE FOR ABOUT 15 SECONDS, RELEASED AND WENT TO THE FLOOR AGAIN FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS. I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BREAK TRYING NOT TO HIT OTHER CARS AHEAD OF ME. EVERYTIME I LIFT MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE WE WENT FASTER. THEN IT CORRECTED ITSELF AGAIN. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD THE SECOND TIME AND CHECKED TO MAKE SURE THERE WAS NOTHING ON THE FLOOR BOARD THAT MIGHT HAVE INTERFERED WITH THE PEDDLE BUT THERE WAS NOTHING. I WAS NOT USING THE CRUISE CONTROL IN EITHER OCCURRENCE. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT BUT COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN. I DID HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE CAR.

AIR BAGS
I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I WAS IN TOWN TRAVELING ABOUT 30-35 MPH, THE CAR I WAS FOLLOWING SWITCHED LANES AND I HIT A CAR THAT WAS COMPLETELY STOPPED. THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT HAD BEEN GOING ON AND OFF FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS. I DIDN'T THINK TOO MUCH OF IT BECAUSE IT IS NOT THE ONLY WARNING LIGHT THAT SOMETIMES DOES THAT. I FIGURED THE ELECTRONICS PROBABLY DIDN;T LIKE ALL THE WATER THAT POURS INTO THE FRAME AND ONTO THE DRIVERS FLOOR.

INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE ON PASSENGER SIDE CRUMBLED. THE LEVER HANGS LOOSE AND YOU ARE UNABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR AND EXIT USING THE HANDLE. SOMEONE HAS TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM OUTSIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WITH A PASSENGER TRYING TO EXIT. THE DRIVER SIDE NOW HAS PLAY IN THE HANDLE AND I SUSPECT IT WILL NOT BE LONG BEFORE IT CRUMBLES AS WELL. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT A REPAIR KIT AND WAS TOLD THAT JEEP ONLY HAD A KIT FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE AND I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE DOOR PANEL FOR $350.00+. 3 PICTURES ATTACHED. BROKEN HANDLE, BROKEN PIECES, AND DRIVER HANDLE INTACT.

AIR BAGS, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WE HAVE REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP 3 TIMES. THIS LAST TIME IT STILL DOES NOT START. THE FUEL PUMP IS GETTING POWER, WE TRACED THE POWER ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE FUEL PUMP AND IT IS GETTING POWER BUT IT IS NOT KICKING ON. WE HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR WIRING DIAGRAMS TO TRACE THE LINES BUT NO AVAIL. IF WE GET IT TO RUN IF IT GETS SHUT OFF WE CANNOT GET IT TO RESTART SOMETIMES FOR DAYS. WE HAVE DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY AT TIMES AND IT WILL START FOR A TIME OR TWO BUT IT GOES BACK TO NOT STARTING AGAIN. WITH THE AIR BAG, THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS COME ON IN THE DASH AND DOES NOT GO OUT.

SEAT BELTS
THE SEAT BELTS IN MY THIRD ROW, WHICH I USE MAYBE 10% OF THE TIME ARE BROKEN. THEY BROKE WAY TOO EARLY IN MY CARS LIFE. I NEVER KNEW THAT I COULD REPORT IT UNTIL MY MECHANIC SAID TO. I CALLED JEEP TO LET THEM KNOW THAT ITS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I WOULD LIKE THEM REPLACED, AND THEY DECLINED TO DO SO. I HAVE HAD MANY JEEP NEW AND VERY OLD AND THE SEAT BELTS WERE NEVER AN ISSUE, WHICH MAKES ME THINK THESE SEAT BELTS WERE DEFECTIVE OR MAYBE THE WAY THE 3RD ROW FOLDS DOWN IS THE CAUSE.
