2006 Jeep Commander Complaint Log

THE PLASTIC HOUSING AROUND THE DOOR HANDLE HAS CRACKED AND BROKEN. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM FOR MANY OWNERS. THIS COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE (NOT BEING ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE IN AN EMERGENCY). THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM. *TT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL AT ANY TIME WITHOUT WARNING. A LOCAL MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER ADVISED THE CONTACT OF THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 08V203000 (POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM, PCM)) BUT ADVISED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 84,500.

THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR LATCH OF OUR 2006 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4 SUFFERED A FAILURE CAUSING THE DOOR TO NOT BE ABLE TO BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE OF THE CAR POSING A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY RISK. THE DOOR LATCH IS A PLASTIC PULL WHICH IS PART OF THE ONE-PIECE MOLDED PLASTIC DOOR PANEL. THE PLASTIC BEHIND OUR DOOR LATCH STARTED TO CRACK OVER TIME AND UPON A FAMILY MEMBER CLOSING THE DOOR AND THE DOOR PANEL COMING IN CONTACT WITH THE INDIVIDUAL'S LEG, THE DOOR LATCH COMPLETELY DETACHED FROM THE DOOR PANEL CAUSING IT TO FLOAT INSIDE THE DOOR CAVITY. THE DOOR LATCH THEN FELL APART AND THE ONLY WAY TO OPEN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR IS TO REACH INSIDE THE HOLE IN THE CAVITY TO FIND WHAT THE DOOR LATCH WAS ATTACHED TO. HAVING THE DOOR LATCH ONLY SECURED TO THIN MOLDED PLASTIC OF THE DOOR PANEL IS A DESIGN WHICH LED TO OUR SAFETY FAILURE AND WE ARE NOT THE ONLY INDIVIDUALS WITH THIS ISSUE. UPON RESEARCHING ONLINE, THERE ARE DOZENS OF OTHER INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE HAD ONE IF NOT MULTIPLE DOOR LATCH FAILURES IN EARLY 2006 JEEP COMMANDERS CAUSING A SAFETY RISK. THE ISSUES OCCURS AT VARIOUS MILEAGE POINTS AND OFTEN WITH LITTLE TO NO WEAR/TEAR AND IT APPEARS DEALERSHIPS ARE NOT CONSISTENTLY REPLACING THESE PARTS UNDER WARRANTY. ONE EXAMPLE OF MULTIPLE PEOPLE THAT HAVE THIS ISSUE CAN BE FOUND ON THE FOUR PAGES OF COMMENTS HERE: HTTP://WWW.JEEPCOMMANDER.COM/FORUMS/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=656 AS THE DOOR PANELS AND DOOR LATCH APPEARS TO BE EITHER POORLY ENGINEERED OR POORLY MANUFACTURERED LEADING TO A SAFETY RISK, WE WANTED TO SUBMIT THIS COMPLAINT FORM IN HOPES THAT THIS SAFETY ISSUE WILL BE ADDRESSED, POSSIBLY AS A RECALL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY THE CAR SHUT OFF WHILE GOING 60 MILES PER HOUR. I COASTED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE ENGINE WAS ABLE TO RESTART. IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS THOUGH HAVING THE CAR SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING 60 MILES PER HOUR ON A BUSY ROAD AND TRYING TO PULL OFF THE ROAD SAFELY. THE ENGINE LIGHTS STAYED ON AFTER THE CAR WAS RESTARTED. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE SERVICE CENTER FOR REPAIR. THEY RE-FLASHED TO CORRECT THE CODES. *TT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. THE INTERIOR LIGHTING AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTING BEGAN TO FLICKER ERRATICALLY, AND A WARNING LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL DISPLAYED A MESSAGE INDICATING THAT THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT SHE PREVIOUSLY EXPERIENCED INTERMITTENT DECELERATION AS WELL AS FLICKERING OF THE INTERIOR LIGHTING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED HOME. THE DEALER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO BRING THE BATTERY IN FOR INSPECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 94,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL OF THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES CRACKED AND THE FRONT DRIVER'S DOOR HANDLE COMPLETELY FRACTURED FROM THE INTERIOR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO HAVE THE FAILURE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT ALL OF THE DOOR PANELS WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000.

I WAS GETTING OFF ON AN EXIT WITH A SLIGHT INCLINE. I HAD MY FOOT SLIGHTLY ON THE BREAK TO DECELERATE. THE CAR JERKED AND THE TRACTION CONTROL AND ABS LIGHTS CAME ON. THE ROADS WERE DRY. THERE WAS NO REASON FOR THE TRACTION CONTROL AND ABS TO TURN ON. THE LIGHTS REMAINED ON. IT FELT AS IF SOMEONE PUT THEIR FOOT ON THE BREAKS QUICKLY. AFTER I ARRIVED AT MY LOCATION I TURNED THE CAR OFF. WHEN I RESTARTED THE CAR THE LIGHTS WERE OFF. I CONTACTED MY SERVICE CENTER. THEY HAD ME BRING IN THE CAR. THEY RE-FLASHED TO CORRECT THE CODES. *TT

MY SON WAS A PASSENGER IN HIS 2006 JEEP COMMANDER WHEN THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE BLEW. THE PERSON DRIVING IT TRIED TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE ENDED UP ROLLING SEVERAL TIMES. NONE OF THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. OUR CONCERN WAS SPECIFICALLY THE SIDE AIRBAGS THAT ARE SUPPOSE TO DEPLOY ON A ROLL OVER. MY SON SUFFERED A SKULL FRACTURE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF HIS HEAD FROM HITTING HIS HEAD ON THE WINDOW EACH TIME THE CAR ROLLED OVER. HE ALSO SUFFERED BROKEN CLAVICLE, SCAPULA AND HUMERUS ON THE RIGHT SIDE. THE PASSENGER SUFFERED WHIP LASH AND A SLIGHT CONCUSSION. MY SON IS PERMANENTLY BLIND IN HIS RIGHT EYE AND IS GOING THROUGH PHYSICAL AND OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO THIS FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS. WE HAVE PHOTOS OF THE VEHICLE UPON REQUEST. JEEP DID AN INVESTIGATION AND SENT ME A LETTER STATING THAT THE IMPACT WAS NOT SUFFICIENT TO CAUSE THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY. I HAVE A CONCERN ABOUT THIS EXPLANATION. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS ARE TO DEPLOY WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTS THE ROLL OVER, NOT ON AN IMPACT. *TR

THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES OF 3 OUT OF 4 DOORS HAVE ALL CRACKED AND BROKEN INTO PIECES. THESE HANDLES HAVE NO BECOME A SAFETY CONCERN, BASED ON THE ABILITY TO FREE THE PASSENGERS FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY. I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 5 AND IT HAS BECOME VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN THE DOORS FROM THE INSIDE.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE ECM WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED.

I WAS DRIVING ALONG THE HIGHWAY, WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED AND ALL OF THE LIGHTS CAME ON. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTARTED IT AND DROVE AWAY. AFTER TAKING IT IN I WAS TOLD IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR AND THAT IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER REPLACING THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR AND DRIVING IT BACK UP TO THE MOUNTAINS, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. SAME PROBLEM. I REPLACED THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR FOR A SECOND TIME. 6 MONTHS LATER A SIMILAR PROBLEM HAPPENED BUT INSTEAD OF SHUTTING DOWN THE CAR JUST SPUTTERED AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STARTED BLINKING. AFTER TAKING IT IN THE SHOP SAID THAT THE 02 SENSOR NEEDED REPLACING. I HAD PASSENGER FRONT O2 SENSOR REPLACED LAST MONTH, AND NOW IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN. THE SHOP IS NOW SAYING THAT THE PCM IS BAD AND THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. WHEN WILL THIS END? *TR

SUDDENLY OUT OF NOWHERE MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER V6 JUST START JERKING AND DRIVING VERY POORLY. IT ONLY STAYS IN THIRD GEAR AND THE MIL LIGHT INDICATOR IS ON. IT ALSO JERKS AND SEEMS LIKE THERE'S ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I'VE READ ONLINE HUNDREDS OF USERS POSTING THE SAME ISSUE BUT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THE VEHICLE YET. THIS IS VERY IRRITATING AND THIS COULD'VE EASILY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I DO NOT EVER PLAN ON PURCHASING AN AMERICAN MADE VEHICLE EVER AGAIN. THE JEEP DEALER WILL NOT ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I STILL HAVE THE ISSUE. *TR

AT THIS TIME I HAVE 117000 AND IT IS VERY UNSETTLING AS I HAVE A 7 YEAR OLD SON, A FULL TIME JOB AND LIVE IN BUSY CALIFORNIA - THE FACT THAT JEEP/CHRYSLER IS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE REPAIR NEEDED IS PUTTING MY FAMILY AT RISK DAY AFTER DAY - I CAN BARELY AFFORD AND MAKE ENDS MEET AND THIS HAS CAUSED ME MUCH STRESS. I CANNOT AFFORD TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE AS I HAVE TRIED FOR THE PAST YEAR. PLEASE HELP ME. *TR

2006 JEEP COMMANDER. ON A RECENT TRIP 6-6-11. WIFE WAS DRIVING. ATTEMPTED TO SET (SET) CRUISE CONTROL. EXPERIENCED RUNAWAY THROTTLE WIDE OPEN. NEARLY REARENDED CARS. IT CONTINUES TO DO THIS. I CONTACTED JEEP AND REPORTED THE EXPERIENCE AND HAVE SETUP A SERVICE APPOINTMENT. JEEP CLAIMS NO RECALLS. STRINS ON THE INTERNET WOULD INDICATE IT IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE HAS BROKEN. I WENT TO EXIT MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER AND THE PLASTIC BEHIND THE DOOR HANDLE BROKE AWAY FROM THE DOOR PANEL AND I COULDN'T OPEN THE DOOR. I HAD TO EXIT THE VEHICLE FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE. I AM THANKFUL THAT IT WASN'T AN EMERGENCY SITUATION LIKE A FIRE! THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL! VERY DANGEROUS!

DOOR HANDLES , INTERIOR, ARE CHEAPER PLASTIC THAN FOR CHILD'S TOY CAR. THREE OUT OF FOUR HAVE SHATTERED DURING NORMAL USE, THE FOURTH IS ALMOST COMPLETELY CRACKED. VEHICLE CANNOT BE OPENED TO EXIT FROM INSIDE. IMAGINE TRYING TO GET OUT IN WATER, OR OTHER EMERGENCY SITUATION. HAVE SPOKEN TO DEALER, AND CHRYSLER TAKES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DEFECT. SERIOUS AND COMMON ISSUE. *TR

2006 JEEP COMMANDER DOES NOT START. WE HAVE TO TRY ABOUT 30 TIMES SOMETIMES TO GET IT TO START. IT JUST MAKES A CLICKING NOISE. ALSO THE JEEP COMMANDER WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING. (VERY DANGEROUS) ESPECIALLY WITH TWO KIDS. ANOTHER PROBLEM IS IT GETS STUCK IN LOW GEAR OR 4X4 (NOT SURE WHICH). I HAVE READ COMPLAINT AFTER COMPLAINT ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THESE SAME PROBLEMS WITH MANY MANY 2006 COMMANDERS. I AM VERY DISPLEASED WITH HOW JEEP HAS SWEPT THESE PROBLEMS UNDER THE CARPET. YES, THEY HAVE HAD A FEW RECALLS, BUT NOTHING TO FIX THESE VERY SERIOUS AND VERY DANGEROUS DEFECTS. PLEASE HELP, AS WE SPENT A GOOD AMOUNT OF MONEY ON WHAT WE THOUGHT AND NEEDED TO BE A RELIABLE VEHICLE. IT IS NOT RELIABLE AT ALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE, THE KEY WOULD NOT EJECT FROM THE IGNITION AND REMAINED IN THE OFF POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V438000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE PART TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

I HAVE HAD 3 DOOR HANDLES BREAK SINCE OWNING THIS VEHICLE. ALL OF THEM CRACKED BEHIND THE HANDLE, WITH 2 OF THOSE 3 ALREADY COMPLETELY BUSTED. AT THIS POINT THOSE 2 OF THE 3 HANDLES ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO SIT THE HANDLE JUST RIGHT ON THE INSIDE EDGE. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY. JEEP DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE HANDLE, AND WANTED $850/PER DOOR TO FIX! YOU CAN'T JUST REPLACE THE HANDLE, YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE DOOR PANEL. THIS IS A MAJOR DESIGN FLAW ON JEEP'S PART, AND SHOULD BE FIXED. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL. EVERYONE IN MY FAMILY KNOWS HOW TO OPEN THE DOOR IN CALM CONDITIONS, BUT IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT/PANIC SITUATION I'M NOT SURE WE COULD THINK CLEARLY ENOUGH TO OPERATE THEM. SCARY!! I'M NOT COMFORTABLE HAVING PEOPLE RIDE WITH ME, AS I HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THEIR SAFETY AND SAFETY CONCERNS WHEN I SHOW THEM HOW TO USE THE HANDLES. THIS NEEDS FIXING BY JEEP!! *TR

FAULTY DOOR PANELS AND DOOR HANDLES ON 2006 JEEP COMMANDER , THEY BREAK AND CRACK EASILY THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ON JEEP COMMANDER WITH SAME ISSUE. *TR

1ST PROBLEM WAS MY INTERIOR LIGHTS FLASHING ON AND OFF. I COULD NOT GET IT TO DO IT WHILE AT THE DEALERS. 2008 I THOUGHT MY TRANSMISSION WAS GOING BAD. THE DEALER SAID THAT MY TRANSMISSION HAD A LEAK AND CHARGED ME TO REPLACE SOME PART. THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THEN THEY SAID I NEEDED TO SERVICE THE TRANSMISSION. I AM SURPRISED THAT DEALER NEVER MENTION ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE JEEP COMMANDER ( I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST MY CAR) AS I HAVE CALLED SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT THE CAR SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL, AND WONDERING IF IT WAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM COMES AND GOES. I JUST PAID MY CAR OFF, AND NOW WHEN I RIDE ON THE EXPRESS WAY AND GO PAST 60 THE ENITRE CAR SHAKES BAD. IF I HIT A BUMP I CAN HEAR SOMETHING LIKE A CRACK NOISE. SOMETIMES WHEN I MAKE A SHARP TURN I HEAR A CLICK CLICK NOISE. AT THIS I DIDN'T TRUST THE DEALER AND WAS THINKING THAT MAYBE IT WAS MY AXIL. TOOK IT TO PET BOYS AND THEY COULD FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. THEY SAID I NEEDED NEW TIRES, SO I BOUGHT 4. THE PROBLEM STILL CONTINUED. I AM SO UPSET AS I AM A SINGLE MOM AND JUST FINISHED PAYING MY CAR OFF. I ALSO HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR, RADIATOR, WATER PUMP, THERMOMETER, WHICH I THOUGH WAS NORMAL AS THE CAR IS 2006. NOW PAST 2 DAYS I CAN SMELL A FUNNY SMELLY, WHITE FOG COMES OUT OF MY VENTS, AND THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR IS WET. I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM AND IT SAYS THAT IT IS THE "HEATER CORE". THE TIRE LIGHT IS ALWAY ON WITH NO FLAT. THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON FREQUENTLY AND SAYS CHECK GAS CAP. SO FAR I HAVE BOUGHT 3 GAS CAPS. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT I STRUGGLED TO PAY THIS CAR OFF AND NOW HAVING ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS. I AM NOT SURE WHICH PROBLEMS ARE NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR AND WHICH ONES ARE A MANUFACTURER PROBLEMS, BUT THIS IS A NIGHT MARE. I AM SO MAD THAT I EVER BOUGHT MY JEEP COMMANDER. JEEP SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES. *TR

WHILE DRIVING, I HAVE A TOTAL LOSS OF INTERIOR ELECTRICAL. ALL SYSTEMS GO OFF ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE CONTINUES RUNNING. THIS AFFECTS THE STEERING AS WELL AS BRAKING. THERE IS NOTHING CONSISTENT ABOUT THE PROBLEM. IT HAS BEEN TAKEN TO MULTIPLE DEALERS AND THEY CAN FIND NO ISSUE. I'VE EVEN TAKEN IN A VIDEO RECORDING OF THE SITUATION.

I HAVE AN EXTREME PROBLEM. I HAVE A JEEP COMMANDER AND ALL 4 DOOR HANDLES HAVE BROKEN AND NOW YOU CANT OPEN MY REAR DOORS. MY KIDS CANT GET OUT UNLESS I LET THEM OUT. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND I CANT BELIEVE AFTER THE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON JEEP WEBSITES, THAT NHTSA HASN'T SHOVED A RECALL DOWN CHRYSLER'S THROAT. C'MON FOLKS THIS IS DANGEROUS!!! HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF FOLKS HAVING PROBLEMS. LOOK ON YOU TUBE AND SEE WHAT IS LISTED THERE FOR YOU TO SEE. JUST REGULAR FOLKS HAVING A MULTI BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY STUFF IT TO EM. CHRYSLER DIDN'T EVEN OFFER TO SEND ME NEW DOOR HANDLES. THIS IS A MANUFACTURERS ERROR. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WHEN THE DRIVER WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH. UPON RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, IT OPERATED NORMALLY.

ALL INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ARE CRACKED DUE TO PLASTIC MATERIAL CRACKING. HANDLES ARE ALL EXPOSED AND HANGING BY A SPRING. AT TIMES HANDLES WON'T OPEN DOORS & THEY HAVE TO BE OPENED FROM EXTERIOR. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IF IN A SITUATION WHERE YOU COULDN'T EXIT VEHICLE. IT APPEARS FROM RESEARCH THAT THE MANUFACTURER WILL NOT REPLACE EVEN THOUGH THIS IS AN EXTREME WIDESPREAD PROBLEM. MANY THREADS ONLINE DISCUSS THIS ISSUE. THE FIX IS TO REPLACE ENTIRE DOOR PANEL AT UP TO NEARLY $700 EACH. I CAN'T IMAGINE HAVING TO PAY $2800 TO FIX MY DOOR HANDLES DUE TO A MANUFACTURER'S FAULTY DESIGN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO STALL INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTICS WHERE THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

THE LIGHTS ON MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER AC/HEAT PANEL WILL NOT LIGHT UP SINCE 2011. ALSO MY STEREO LIGHTS, HEAD LIGHTS AND SPEEDOMETER LIGHTS AND OTHER INSTRUMENT LIGHT FLICKER RANDOMLY. MY OTHER PROBLEM THAT STARTED IN APRIL OF 2014 IS WHEN I AM DRIVING AT 55/60 MPH A WARNING MESSAGE WILL POP UP THAT READS TRANSMISSION OVER TEMPERATURE. IT SOMETIMES GOES OUT ON ITS OWN WHILE I AM STILL DRIVING AND SOMETIMES IT WILL TAKE ME TO TURN THE TRUCK OFF AND RESTART THE ENGINE THEN IT WILL GO OFF. *TR

OUR 2006 JEEP COMMANDER INTERMITTENTLY STALLS WHILE DRIVING. USUALLY, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS GO CRAZY, ALL THE LIGHTS FLASHING ON AND OFF, AND THEN THE VEHICLE STALLS. THIS HAPPENS AT ANYTIME, AND HAS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY! THIS ISSUE LEAVES NO FAULTS ON THE COMPUTER WHEN CHECKED BY A DEALER. DEALER REPLACED THE IGNITION LOCK, BUT THIS DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. THEY HAVE NO MORE SUGGESTIONS. THE INTERNET IS FILLED WITH OTHER OWNERS OF THIS AND OTHER JEEP VEHICLES THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME SERIOUS ISSUE. OBVIOUSLY, THIS COULD BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!! *TR

I WAS DRIVING 25 MILES AND HIT A BUMP. NOISE STARTING COMING FROM UNDER THE MIDDLE ROW SEAT. CHECKED UNDER THE CAR, COULD SEE NO ISSUES. BROUGHT IT TO 2 MECHANICS COULD NOT SEE PROBLEM. DROVE CAR EVERYTHING WAS FINE UNTIL HIT A BUMP AND THE NOISE STARTING AGAIN. BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE MECHANIC AND COULD NOT SEE OR HERE PROBLEM. CALLED CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE AND THAT THE BRAKE CABLE FALLS DOWN AND HITS THE DIFFERENTIAL AND THE DRIVE SHAFT. I ASKED IF THIS WAS A RECALL ISSUE AND THEY SAID NO THAT I WOULD HAVE TO COVER REPAIRS. CONTACTED JEEP DEALER AND IT IS GOING TO BE $350 FOR REPAIR. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL AS IF IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN BRAKES CAN FAIL. *TR

DRIVER DOOR HANDLE BACK PANEL CRACKED THEN BROKE WITHOUT PHYSICAL DAMAGE BEING DONE TO IT. JEEP COMMANDER 2006. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER 4X2. THE CONTACT STATED THAT BOTH FRONT INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES, WHICH WERE PLASTIC, WERE CRACKED. IN ADDITION, THE REAR PASSENGER INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE FRACTURED. THE DEFECTIVE DOOR HANDLES PREVENTED THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS FROM EXITING THROUGH THE DOORS. THE AUTOMATED WINDOW WAS RELEASED IN AN OPEN POSITION AND THE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES WERE ENGAGED IN ORDER TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. THE AUTHORIZED DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

TWO OF MY INSIDE DOOR HANDLES HAVE BROKEN. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT IN AN EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY MY FAMILY AND I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT THE CAR. WITH FOUR CHILDREN IT IS PARAMOUNT THAT THIS PROBLEM IS RECTIFIED. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH I FOUND THAT MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THIS MODEL AND YEAR VEHICLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. IN ADDITION, IT IS DIFFICULT TO PROCURE REPLACEMENT PARTS. I FEEL THAT JEEP SHOULD TAKE SOME SENSE OF OWNERSHIP FOR THE INHERIT PROBLEM AND OFFER TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM AT THEIR EXPENSE. *JS

2006 JEEP COMMANDER THEIR ARE 3 PROBLEMS WHICH I BELIEVE ARE ALL INTERRELATED AND PROBABLY HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. FIRSTLY, THE CAR 75% WILL NOT START, WILL NOT CRANK, AND ALL YOU WILL HEAR IS A CLICKING NOISE. SECONDLY, THE CAR WHILE IDLING IN TRAFFIC WILL LUNGE FORWARD WITH HIGHER RPM (WITH MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR MIND YOU) LUCKILY I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO BRAKE IN TIME EACH TIME IT DOES THAT. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKE THE CAR WILL THEN STALL AND THE NONSTARTING PROBLEM WILL REOCCUR. LASTLY AND MOST DANGEROUSLY, THE VEHICLE WILL CUT OUT/STALL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS - 65-70 MPH. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES TO ME (WHILE GOING AROUND DANGEROUS CURVES AND THANK GOD I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE). I HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEIR ONLY ADVICE IS TO BRING IT INTO A DEALERSHIP FOR A 'DIAGNOSTIC' WHERE THEY TRY TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE DONE THIS AND BELIEVE THEY KEEP TRYING UNTIL THE PROBLEM DOES NOT REPLICATE BECAUSE IT DOES IT ALMOST EVERY TIME WITH ME. CHRYSLER HAS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. IT IS NOT ONLY A HASSLE BUT A LIFE SAFETY ISSUE. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF POSTINGS ON THE INTERNET JUST LIKE MINE AND CHRYSLER STILL WILL NO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM. THIS CAR NEED TO BE 100% RECALLED AND TAKEN OFF THE ROAD AS IT IS A DEATH TRAP. I WOULD LIKE TO SELL MY CAR BUT I CANNOT MORALLY SELL THIS DANGEROUS CAR TO ANOTHER UNSUSPECTING CUSTOMER. PLEASE HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM. THERE ARE THOUSANDS LIKE ME WHO ARE BEING TOLD OFF BY CHRYSLER. THIS PROBLEM MUST BE RESOLVED OR DEATHS WILL CERTAINLY OCCUR. *TR

I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER STALLING AND THE RPM IDLING..IT CONTINUES TO STALL ON ME WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY (70 MPH) AND ON THE SURFACE ROADS. IT HAS BEEN AT THE CERRITOS DODGE DEALERSHIP AT LEAST EVERY TWO WEEKS SINCE APRIL 2011..THEY CONTINUE TO FIX SOMETHING BUT TELL ME THAT CAR IS FINE AND THE NEXT WEEK IT IS BACK AGAIN. EVEN THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD HE THAT HE DIDN'T THINK I WOULD EVER PUT MY KIDS IN THAT JEEP AGAIN. I PICKED IT UP MAY 28TH AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY CLEANED THE CIRCUIT BOARD AND THAT EVERYTHING WOULD BE FINE...NEEDLESS TO SAY, THE JEEP IS AT THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN..THEY KEEP TELLING ME THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT, BUT YET, IT STALLED ON ME TWICE TODAY. ONCE ON THE WAY HOME FROM WORK AND ON THE WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP...I KEEP ASKING CHRYSLER AND JEEP CORP FOR HELP BECAUSE THIS JEEP IS DANGEROUS AND THEY REFUSE TO HELP ME BECAUSE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. IT HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP AT LEAST 5 TIMES SINCE APRIL 8, 2011. PLEASE HELP ME, I HAVE ALL THE DOCUMENTATION TO SUPPORT MY CONCERNS...I HAVE SPENT ALOT OF MONEY GETTING THIS JEEP REPAIR AND IT STILL STALLS ....PLEASE HELP ME, I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY FAMILY'S SAFETY. *TR

FAILURE OF DOOR LATCH IN 2006 JEEP COMMANDER UNDER NORMAL USE. THE DOOR LATCH/LOCK MECHANISM LIMITS EXIT FROM THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE CAUSED BY POOR CRAFTMANSHIP IN THE DOOR PANEL WHICH THE LATCH IS ATTACHED TO. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE AND TWO REAR DOOR HANDLES FRACTURED AND DETACHED FROM THE DOOR. AS A RESULT, THE DOORS WERE UNABLE TO BE OPENED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

THE PLASTIC HOUSING ON INTERIOR DOOR LATCHES IS FAULTY. THE DRIVER SIDE REAR DOOR IS COMPLETELY INOPERABLE. IT MUST BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE FRONT TWO DOOR LATCHES ARE CRACKED AND BEGINNING TO LOOSEN. THE REAR DOOR WAS NOTED AS A SAFETY CONCERN BY A COWORKER DURING A WORK-RELATED TRIP. THE EMPLOYEE UNDERSTANDABLY REFUSES TO DRIVE IN THE VEHICLE GOING FORWARD. THE PROBLEM IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND AN EMBARRASSMENT WHEN CONDUCTING BUSINESS JUNCTURES. I ATTEMPTED TO GET THE FAULTY DOOR HANDLE REPAIRED ON 4/20/11, BUT RECEIVED DOCUMENTATION THAT THE PANEL ASSEMBLY IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE PLATINUM DEALERSHIP WARRANTY. THE OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSE FOR ONE HANDLE IS OVER $500 AS THE ENTIRE DOOR PANEL MUST BE REPLACED. THE REPAIR WAS NOT COMPLETED. *JS

FRONT PASSEGER DOOR CLOSED ON MY WIFES HEEL AND SHATTERED THE DOOR HANDLE. I WAS SHOCKED THAT THE WEIGHT OF THE DOOR CLOSING ON ITSELF WOULD CAUSE THIS AND JEEP WILL NOT COVER THE COST AT $500+ A DOOR PANEL. NOW ITS BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME, ESPECIALLY IF IT HAPPENS TO ALL MY DOORS. IF WE HAD A FIRE IN THE CABIN OF THE CAR, WE WOULD BE AT SERIOUS RISK OF BURNS OR EVEN DEATH. I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THIS IS HAPPENING TOO, THERE ARE MANY COMMANDER OWNERS REPORTING THE SAME ISSUES AND SAFETY CONCERNS. SINCE JEEP IS NOT STEPPING UP TO HELP, WHAT IS THE NHTSA DOING ABOUT IT? *JS
