STARTED THE CAR AT THE HOUSE AND DROVE 1 MILE TO THE GAS STATION. SHUT THE CAR OFF TO FILL THE TANK. TRIED TO RESTART AND IT WOULD NOT START UNTIL I PUSHED THE GAS IN. WHEN IT STARTED SMOKE POURED OUT THE BACK. TOOK IT ACROSS THE STREET TO A MECHANIC AND THEY SAID THE ENGINE WAS TRASHED. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE JEEP DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT IT. THEY SAID THE SAME THING THAT THE MOTOR WAS TRASHED. I PAID THE DODGE DEALER TO TEAR DOWN THE ENGINE SO I COULD KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE VALVE IN THE 4TH CYLINDER HAD SLIPPED DOWN INTO THE MOTOR AND DESTROYED THE PISTON AND CYLINDER WALL. HAVE TO HAVE A NEW ENGINE INSTALLED. THE VEHICLE IS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER WITH THE 5.7 HEMI AND ONLY HAS 77,000 MILES ON IT AND FROM WHAT I HAVE RESEARCHED AND TALKING TO MECHANICS THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN. THIS PART SHOULD NOT FAIL IN THIS MANOR. HAVE GOTTEN NO RESPONSE FROM CHRYSLER AND AM TAKING ON THE COST OF THE REPAIR MYSELF. IF I WAS HARD ON THE MOTOR IT WOULD BE ONE THING BUT IT WAS ONLY DRIVEN TO WORK BY MY WIFE. WE ONLY PUT MAYBE 20,000 MILE ON IT SINCE WE BOUGHT IT. I AM AWARE THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED IN OTHER VEHICLES AND WHO KNOWS HOW MANY WERE REPAIRED BY CHRYSLER, UNDER WARRANTY. I WILL BE INTO THIS VEHICLE ABOUT 40,000 DOLLARS AFTER THE NEW ENGINE IS INSTALLED AND I THINK CHRYSLER BARES PART OF THE BLAME AND SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME IN CONSIDERING THIS MATTER. *TR

ENGINE STALLING! HI, MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER WITH 71K ON IT HAS BEEN STALLING A LOT LATELY AND THE ENGINE LIGHT GOES ON. IT STARTS RIGHT AWAY BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON. I TOOK IT TO MY DEALERSHIP & THEY REPROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER, BUT LESS THAN 50 MILES LATER IT STALLED AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY WHERE I WOULD LOSE POWER AND FIND IT HARD TO CONTROL THE CAR. I KNOW THAT A LOT OF OWNERS COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE AND THE DEALERSHIPS SEEM TO BE PUZZLED BY IT AS WELL. JEEP HAS TO FIND A SOLUTION TO THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS IN AN ACCIDENT. JEEP SHOULD ALSO COVER THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SEVERAL SERVICE COSTS. I'VE SENT THE SAME TO JEEP/CHRYSLER CORPORATION AND HAVE YET TO HEAR FROM THEM. MY CAR IS CURRENT ON ALL RECALLS ISSUED SULFER. I SUGGEST THAT JEEP BE FORCED TO BUY BACK ALL THESE COMMANDERS AND SAVE THEMSELVES A BIG HEADACHE. *TR

AS IN MANY PREVIOUS YEAR MODELS JEEP HAS ALLOWED ITS COMMANDER TO BE MANUFACTURED WITH INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ATTACHED TO VERY THIN AND BRITTLE PLASTIC DOOR PANELS. THIS ALLOWS THE DOOR HANDLES TO BREAK LOOSE FROM THE PANELS AND MAKE THE HANDLE INOPERABLE. IN ORDER TO EXIT THE VEHICLE YOU HAVE TO OPEN THE WINDOW AND USE THE OUTSIDE HANDLE. THIS CONDITION OBVIOUSLY CAN PRESENT A VERY UNSAFE SITUATION ESPECIALLY IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION . IT HAPPENS TO ALL FOUR DOORS AS TIME GOES ON SO THAT IT BECOMES DANGEROUS NOT ONLY FOR THE DRIVER BUT ALL THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE. JEEP HAS NOT FOUND IT IN THEIR BEST INTEREST TO RECOGNIZE THIS OBVIOUS DEFECT THEREFORE YOU MUST GO THRU A LONG COMPLICATED PROCEDURE TO MAKE ANY TYPE OF CLAIM WITH NO GUARANTEE OF A RESOLUTION IN YOUR FAVOR. I WOULD SUGGEST THIS CONDITION BE DETERMINED A DANGER TO THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT OR DIES BECAUSE THEY CAN'T GET OUT THE DOOR. IN READING VARIOUS COMPLAINTS AT JEEP COMMANDER.COM THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF THE SAME SCENARIOS PLAYING OUT IN THE SAME MODELS THAT JEEP MANUFACTURES. PLEASE TRY AND HELP CORRECT A SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS OVERSITE IN THE DESIGN AND PRODUCTION OF THESE VEHICLES. THANK YOU *TR

MY JEEP COMMANDER DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT BELTS DO NOT LOCK INTO PLACE CORRECTLY. TO GET THEM TO LOCK YOU HAVE TO PRESS AND HOLD IN THE RED RELEASE BUTTON, THEN TO UNLOCK THE SEAT BELT YOU HAVE TO PRESS THE RED RELEASE BUTTON. NOW AS OF NOVEMBER 22, 2012 THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT IS HARD TO LOCK INTO PLACE EVEN WHEN PUSHING THE BUTTON.THE ALARM GOES OFF AS IF IT IS NOT ENGAGED AND THE LIGHT ON THE DASH LIGHTS UP AND CHIMES CONTINUOUSLY. I CALLED CHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403 ON NOVEMBER 26, 2012 AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS. I WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE IT IN AND PAY FOR A DIAGNOSTIC AND THEN CALL BACK AND MAYBE SOMETHING CAN BE DONE. SHE GAVE ME A REFERENCE NUMBER, BUT SAID THAT SHE IS STILL CLOSING THE CASE. WHEN THIS HAPPENED I LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD BE HANDLED PROPERLY BY CHRYSLER SINCE IT IS A DEFECT. I HARDLY EVEN DRIVE THIS CAR AND HAVE HAD OLDER CARS WHICH I DROVE MORE OFTEN THAT NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES. WITH THIS SAME VEHICLE I HAD TO DEAL WITH THE STALL ISSUES FOR SEVERAL MONTHS BEFORE IT WAS FIXED. EVERY TIME I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO HAVE IT HAPPEN WHILE THEY HAVE IT TO DIAGNOSE IT. I HAVE HAD A WRANGLER IN THE PAST TOO THAT HAD PROBLEMS. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER, ABOUT 6 MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED THE USED VEHICLE THE 2ND ROW SEAT BELTS LOCKED IN TO PLACE & WON'T COME OUT. I CAN NOT BRING ALL MY CHILDREN WITH ME AND IT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE THAT THE SEAT BELTS DO NOT WORK. I SAW THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 3RD ROW & FEEL THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THE 2ND ROW AS WELL.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A NEIGHBORHOOD STREET AND RE-ADJUSTED MY SEATING POSITION. WHILE DRIVING, MY KNEE SLIGHTLY BUMPED THE KEY AND TURNED OFF MY CAR WHILE IT WAS IN DRIVE. I THEN LOST POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. LUCKILY I WAS MOVING SLOWLY AND COULD PULL OVER AND STOP THE CAR. I THEN TESTED IT AGAIN IN A PARKING LOT AND I DETERMINED THAT MY JEEP SHUTS OFF EVERY TIME I MOVE THE KEY WITH MY KNEE, EVEN WHILE DRIVING. POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

VEHICLE STALLS. APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS AGO VEHICLE WAS DOING THE SAME THING. REPLACED THE MAP SENSOR. NOW IT IS DOING IT AGAIN. JEEP HAS A RECALL BUT IT IS ONLY THE 2006 COMMANDER BUILT IN CERTAIN PLANTS. *JS

AT HIGHWAY SPEED, THE ENGINE DIED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE ENGINE COULD BE RE-STARTED AFTER PLACING THE CAR IN PARK. THE CONDITION OCCURRED TWICE ON THE 11TH AND ONCE ON THE WAY TO WORK THIS MORNING. *JS

THERE ARE REPORTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE WITH JEEP COMMANDERS. THIS NEEDS TO BE REVIEWED FOR RECALL AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE CHECK PARK ASSIST WARNING STARTED TO FLASH INTERMITTENTLY WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION. WHEN THIS OCCURRED, ALL GEAR INDICATORS ON THE DASH WOULD LIGHT UP AT THE SAME TIME. THERE WAS INITIALLY NO OTHER INDICATION THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. EVENTUALLY, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE DEALER DIAGNOSED IT AS NEEDING A NEW TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. THE SAME EVENTS OCCURRED WITHIN 2 WEEKS OF INSTALLING THE NEW MODULE. DEALER REPLACED IT AGAIN AND SAID THE PART WAS FAULTY. THE SAME EVENTS OCCURRED AGAIN WITH THE NEXT MONTH. DEALER WAS UNABLE TO FIND A PROBLEM AND RESET THE COMPUTER/WIPED THE ERROR. IT OCCURRED AGAIN AND PROGRESSED TO THE CAR LOOSING ACCELERATING POWER WHILE DRIVING AND/OR SHIFTING IN TO LOWER GEARS FOR NO REASON. NEW DEALER THIS TIME, SAYS THAT IT IS THE SHIFTING CONTROL MODULE. REVIEW OF THE ISSUE ON-LINE SHOWS A LONG HISTORY OF THIS PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH I AM FORTUNATE ENOUGH NOT TO HAVE IT HAPPEN WITHIN A FEW YEARS OF OWNERSHIP. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT CAN CAUSE INJURY TO PASSENGERS WHEN THE CAR SHIFTS DOWN AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND/OR ACCIDENTS BECAUSE THE DRIVER NO LONGER HAS CONTROL OF ACCELERATION. *TR
