MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER IS VERY PRONE TO DEVELOP WINDSHIELD CRACKS. WITHOUT OBVIOUS IMPACTS, IT HAS DEVELOPED CRACKING THAT HAS REQUIRED THE WINDSHIELD TO BE REPLACED THREE TIMES IN THE PAST 18 MONTHS. *TR

I OWN A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER THAT HAS A WINDSHIELD DEFECT. I HAVE REPLACED THIS WINDSHIELD ONCE ALREADY AND HAVE 2 NEW STONE CHIPS IN THE WINDSHIELD. I HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE SAME VEHICLE MODEL AND THEY ARE SEEING THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS SEEMS LIKE A DESIGN MALFUNCTION. *TR

POWER WINDOW SWITCH SOMETIMES FAILS TO WORK CAUSING WINDOWS TO STAY STUCK IN OPEN POSITION. *TR

2006 JEEP COMMANDER HAS A DESIGN FLAW IN THEIR WINDSHIELD. I HAVE 5 CHIPS ON 5 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AND ON 03/07/08 A NEW CHIP HAS TURNED INTI 8 INCH CRACK IN FRONT OF DRIVERS VIEW. I UNDERSTAND THEIR HAS BEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS TO CHRYSLER ABOUT THIS FLAW BUT DEALER SAYS CHRYSLER WILL NOT REPLACE OR FIX WINDSHIELD. DEALER ADMITTED DESIGN FLAW HAS CAUSED THIS CONTINUED PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE HAD MY JEEP COMMANDER SINCE LATE 2005 AND I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE ONE TIME, BUT IT WILL NEED TO BE REPLACE FOR THE SECOND TIME SINCE IT HAS TWO MAJOR CRACKS ON THE LOWER PART OF THE WINDSHIELD BOTH GOING IN SEPARATE DIRECTIONS FROM THE LOWER CENTER OF THE WINDSHIELD, AN I BELIEVE IT WAS A GOOD I HAVE WAITED TO REPLACE MY WINDSHIELD BECAUSE DRIVING INTO WORK TODAY, ANOTHER CRACK FORMED AFTER BEING HIT BY A ROCK. THIS CRACK IS ON THE DRIVING SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD AND IT QUICKLY SPREAD ABOUT 6 INCHES FROM THE INITIAL CRACK. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THIS FLAW IN THE WINDSHIELD DESIGN AND/OR CRAFTSMANSHIP ON THE WINDSHIELD (WEAK). I HAVE NOTICED ON QUITE A FEW FORUMS THIS A VERY COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH MANY IF NOT ALL OWNERS, AND THIS SHOULD BE CAREFULLY REVIEWED SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHICH WILL OCCUR QUITE OFTEN IF NO PROPER SOLUTION IS FOUND! *TR

I HAVE HAD MY JEEP COMMANDER FOR TWO AND A HALF YEARS AND HAVE HAD 4 CRACKS IN MY WINDSHIELD EACH COSTING $40 TO FIX .I HAVE ALSO REPLACED MY ENTIRE WINDSHIELD BECAUSE OF A CRACK IN MY LINE OF VISION. I AM A STAY AT HOME MOM AND DO NOT SPEND HOURS ON THE FREEWAY . I DON'T BELIEVE I AM THAT UNLUCKY TO WARRANT ALL THE STRAY PROJECTILES DURING MY LIMITED HIGHWAY DRIVING OR THAT EACH ONE WOULD LEAD TO A TRIP TO AUTO GLASS REPAIR SHOP. I WILL CONTACT CHRYSLER ABOUT THIS ALSO. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN AN EMPTY ROAD, ABSOLUTELY NO CARS, THERE WAS A LOUD POP. AFTER A FEW SECONDS WE NOTICE THERE IS A SMALL "SPOT" ON THE BOTTOM OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDSHIELD. WE DIDN'T SEE A PEBBLE NOR HEAR WHAT WOULD SOUND LIKE A PEBBLE HITTING THE WINDSHIELD. IF I LOOK CLOSELY AT THE CRACK, IT APPEARS AS IS SOMETHING IS ACTUALLY PUSHING ON IT FROM THE INSIDE. THERE IS ALSO A LOUD ROARING NOISE FROM THE WINDSHIELD ARE WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER 4X2. WATER DRAINS IN FROM THE SUNROOF, DOWN INTO THE DASHBOARD, AND THEN ONTO THE FRONT AND REAR CARPET. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE CAN HEAR THE WATER WHILE DRIVING. THE COILS UNDERNEATH BOTH FRONT SEATS HAVE RUSTED DUE TO THE WATER ENTERING THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT DOES NOT KNOW WHAT KIND OF DAMAGE THE WATER HAS CAUSED TO THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. HE STATED THAT THERE ARE TWO DRAINS ON EACH SIDE OF THE SUNROOF, AND THEY ARE NOT DRAINING THE WATER PROPERLY. THE FIRST TIME THE DRIVER'S SIDE DRAIN FAILED, THE DEALER STATED THAT A BUG WAS STUCK IN THE DRAIN. THE SECOND TIME, THE DEALER STATED THAT DIRTY RAIN WATER WAS IN THE PASSENGER DRAIN. IN ADDITION, THE AIR CONDITIONER FAN HAS BEGUN TO FLUTTER. THIS FAILURE HAS OCCURRED TWICE. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE SUNROOF DURING THE FIRST VISIT, AND THE CONTACT MADE THE REPAIR THE SECOND TIME. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 7,500 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000.

WINDSHIELD IN THE 06 JEEP COMMANDER IS WEAK, AND SEEMS TO BE A TARGET FOR ROCKS AND BUGS. I HAVE OWNED THE CAR FOR 3 MONTHS AND HAVE TO REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD DUE TO EXTREME CRACKS FROM 2 SEPARATE ROCKS HITTING IT. *JB

I HAVE A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER THAT IN MY EXPERIENCE HAS A SEVERE DESIGN FLAW. THE WINDSHIELD WILL NOT AND DOES NOT DEFLECT EVEN SMALL ROAD DEBRIS. THE CURVE/ANGLE OF THE GLASS IS THE ISSUE. MY WINDSHIELD HAS BEEN CRACKED MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS I'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE. SEVERAL OTHERS FEEL THE SAME WAY JUST QUERY THE INTERNET. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT MAY END WITH THE LOSS OF LIFE. THIS DESIGN SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ALLOWED ON THE ROADS... PLEASE HELP. *JB

WINDSHIELD CRACKING. *AK

I OWN A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS WINDSHIELD CRACKS AND ENDED UP HAVING TO REPLACE THE GLASS AFTER OWNING THE VEHICLE FOR JUST 6 MONTHS. *TR

FRONT WINDSHIELD CRACKS (2) IN 1ST 3,000 MILES.

I HAVE HAD OUR 2006 JEEP COMMANDER FOR JUST OVER SIX MONTHS. WHILE TRAVELING ON A PAVED SURFACE, A ROCK, ABOUT THE SIZE OF A QUARTER, WAS THROWN UP INTO MY WINDSHIELD CAUSING A"BULLSEYE" EXACTLY IN MY LINE OF SIGHT. I BELIEVE THAT EITHER THE DESIGN AND POSITION OF THE WINDSHILD OR THE MATERIALS USED MUST BE THE PROBLEM AS I HAVE HEARD OF OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROMLEM. I DO BELIEVE THAT THIS COULD BE A SAFETY PROBLEM.

WINDSHIELD APPEARS TO CRACK EASILY. WHEN THE WINDSHIELD WAS BEING REPLACED IT DEFECTIVE BODY SEALANT/BONDING WAS DISCOVERED. THE DEALERSHIP AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE CONTACTED, AND SAID THEY WOULD LOG THE COMPLAINT. BUT THEY WERE UNWILLING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THE GLUE USED TO BOND THE VEHICLE PIECES AT THE PINCH WELDS WAS SOFT, AND COULD BE REMOVED WITH ONE'S FINGERTIP. THE WINDSHIELD SEALANT, WHEN PEELED OFF, REMOVED THE GLUE FROM THE BODY, INDICATING THAT THE PAINT ADHERED BETTER TO THE BODY, GLUE WAS NOT SUFFICIENTLY BONDED TO THE BODY. I HAVE PICTURES TO DOCUMENT THIS CASE.*AK

WINDSHIELD CRACKED FROM ROAD STONE. 2 WINDSHIELDS REPLACED IN 3 WEEKS. *TR
