2006 Jeep Commander Complaint Log

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE VEHICLE ENGINE SHUTS OFF; AIRBAG LIGHT FLASHES ON AS WELL AS DASH LIGHTS. THIS HAS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 10 TIMES IN THE MIDDLE OF A EIGHT LANE HIGHWAY IN RUSH HOUR. IT HAS TORN MY NERVES ALL TO PIECES TRYING TO DRIVE IT UNDER THESE CONDITIONS SO I HAD TO PARK IT AND BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE. NEED ACTION SOON. STARTED APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS AGO AND HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. NOTIFIED CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD TO REMOVE ALL KEYS FROM RING EXCEPT SWITCH KEY; DID THAT AND IT STILL HAPPENS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTED OUT OF DRIVE AND INTO NEUTRAL INDEPENDENTLY, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED SEVERAL TIMES. THE TRACTION CONTROL AND THE TRANSMISSION WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AFTER THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC PERFORMED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 110,600.

DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOOR HANDLES. BOTH HANDLES HAVE SNAPPED CAUSING THE FLIMSY PLASTIC PANEL TO BREAK. THIS REQUIRES THE ENTIRE PANEL BE CHANGED . VERY EXPENSIVE AND DANGEROUS MAKES OPENING THESE DOORS VERY DIFFICULT.

THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT DOES NOT LATCH. YOU HAVE TO HOLD DOWN THE RED PRESS BUTTON TO LATCH. ONCE LATCHED THE SEAT BELT ALARM CONTINUES TO CHIME LIKE IS DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THE SEAT BELT IS LATCHED. IT'S ANNOYING BUT AT THE SAME TIME CONCERNED IF THE SEAT BELT IS WORKING PROPERLY. AFTER RESEARCHING ON LINE THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS AND THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDER A RECALL. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V438000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, ALL OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTING FAILED TO ILLUMINATE INTERMITTENTLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. IN ADDITION, THE AIR BAG AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS WOULD INTERMITTENTLY ILLUMINATE AND ALL THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS FAILED TO OPERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

ALL DASH INDICATOR LIGHTS WOULD BLINK ON AND OFF; TWO TIMES ENGINE CUT-OFF WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY ( DRIVERS KNEE WAS NOT NEAR IGNITION KEY AS A CAUSE THAT HAS BEEN BLAMED ). FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH WAS DIAGNOSED AND REPLACED AT AUTHORIZED DEALER [ MONROEVILLE CHRYSLER JEEP, MONROEVILLE PA., MAY 28,2013 ] AT MY EXPENSE. NO PROBLEMS SINCE REPAIR. RECALL NOTICE P41 /NHTSA 14V-438 FOR IGNITION SWITCH RECEIVED SEPT 2014. DOCUMENTATION OF REPAIR FOR REIMBURSEMENT WAS PROVIDED AS PER REQUESTED INFORMATION IN RECALL NOTICE. CHRYSLER CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE IS REFUSING TO REIMBURSE ($211.45). *TR

TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE BLOWER MOTOR CUT OFF AND THE LIGHTS ON THAT COME ON WHEN YOU FIRST TURN THE KEY ON CAME ON. WHEN THAT CYCLE WAS OVER THE CRUISE CONTROL CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE RAPIDLY ACCELERATED. HAD TO TURN THE KEY OFF TO KILL THE CRUISE CONTROL. THIS PROBLEM WITH THE KEY HASN'T HAPPENED WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD BEFORE ONLY WHILE SITTING IN PARK. WHEN WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THEY REPLACED THE KEY SAYING IT WAS THE KEY CAUSING THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM CONTINUED AFTER THE KEY WAS REPLACED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AND HAD TO STOP BEHIND ANOTHER DRIVER WHO WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN. I WAS ON A SLIGHT INCLINE. WHEN THEY TURNED I BEGAN TO ACCELERATE. THIS IS WHEN I ENCOUNTERED MY PROBLEM. I HAD TO PUSH THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR. IT WAS AS IF THE CAR SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL. THINKING THIS WAS STRANGE I LOOKED ON MY DASHBOARD TO MAKE SURE THE CAR WAS STILL IN DRIVE. WHAT I FOUND WHEN I LOOKED WAS THAT ALL THE GEARS WERE HIGHLIGHTED. AT THIS POINT THE CAR STILL WOULDN'T GO OVER 20-25MPH. (I WAS ON A 45MPH ROAD ON A VERY BUSY MONDAY.) I GENTLY MOVED MY GEAR SHIFT AND THAT PUT MY GEAR BACK INTO DRIVE. A FEW SECONDS LATER I LOOK AT MY DASHBOARD AND ALL THE GEARS WERE BRIEFLY HIGHLIGHTED AND THEN IT WENT BACK TO JUST THE DRIVE GEAR HIGHLIGHTED. I TOOK IT IN TO AN AUTHORIZED JEEP DEALER THE NEXT DAY AND WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED A NEW SHIFTER MODULE/BEZEL. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND SOMETHING THE CHRYSLER COMPANY SHOULD OF KNOWN ABOUT AND PUT A RECALL OUT ON THIS VEHICLE. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND WAS ONLY TOLD THAT THERE ARE RECALLS OUT ON JEEP COMMANDERS FOR IT SLIPPING INTO NEUTRAL BUT THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF SAID RECALL. ALTHOUGH THE GEAR ON MY CAR SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL WHEN I HAD IT IN DRIVE. THE RECALL ALSO STATES THAT VEHICLES MANUFACTURED BETWEEN CERTAIN DATES SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR THE RECALL. MY CAR FALLS INTO THOSE DATES. I HAD TO PAY $829.00 FOR A PART AND $209.98 FOR LABOR AND $14.70 FOR SHOP SUPPLIES. THIS BROUGHT MY TOTAL TO $1,127.44. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW A PART COULD COST ME THIS MUCH? AM I THE ONLY OWNER WITH THIS PROBLEM? I GOT THE PROBLEM FIXED AND THE VEHICLE RUNS FINE NOW. I AM WANTING CHRYSLER TO ADMIT THAT THIS IS A DEFECT ON THEIR PART AND REIMBURSE ME FOR THE TOTAL SUM STATED ABOVE. *TR

WAS GOING TO GET GAS TURNED ON THE ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN OVER LIGHTS WOULD NOT WORK. TRIED TO JUMP THE THE TRUCK AND IT STILL WOULD NOT START. IT LOOKS LIKE IT MIGHT BE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 55MPH. AND OUT OF NOWHERE THE CAR RPM'S DROPPED TO 0 AND THE CAR DIED. AS I PUMPED ON THE GAS I LOOKED IN THE REARVIEW TO MAKE SURE I WAS NOT GOING TO GET HIT. AFTER THAT I TURNED THE CAR OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY AND PUT ON MY HAZARDS. IT THEN TURNED ON AND AFTER WILL GO TO 2 RPM'S AND THEN START TO JERK BACK AND FORTH. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES SO FAR AND AS OF NOW THE 3RD TIME AND 3RD WITH A RENTAL IT FINALLY HAPPENED TO THE MECHANIC AT THE DEALERSHIP. AND HE HAS NO CLUE HIS WORDS. SO IN A TWO WEEK FRAME TIME I HAVE ONLY HAD MY JEEP 4 DAYS WHY BECAUSE THEY CANT EVEN FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. I HAVE REPORTED IT TO CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND CHECKED FOR A RECALL AND THEY SAID THERE IS NO RECALL AS OF YET. I WORRY BECAUSE THIS COULD CAUSE A ACCIDENT AND TYPICALLY I HAVE MY WIFE AND TWO CHILDREN IN THE JEEP WITH ME. IF U GO TO CARCOMPLAINTS.COM AND LOOK UP. THIS MODEL U WILL SEE THERE ARE UP TO 60 MORE INCIDENTS. BUT THE DEALERSHIP/CHRYSLER HAS YET TO DO ANYTHING. HOPEFULLY IT DOES NOT SERIOUSLY HARM THE OWNER OF THE JEEP OR A PERSON WHO HITS THEM. *TR

ALL OF THE DOOR HANDLES ON THE VEHICLE ARE COMING LOOSE FROM THE DOOR PANEL. THEY ARE SO LOOSE THAT THEY COULD NOT OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE IF ANYONE NEEDED TO EXIT THE VEHICLE IN A TIMELY MANNER. I HAVE ALREADY HAD TO HAVE ONE REPLACED BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT OPEN THE DOOR. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS ISSUE AS I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THE SAME ISSUE FOR SIMILAR VEHICLES. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IF SOMEONE CANNOT EXIT THE VEHICLE IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. *TR

I OWN A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. WE LOVE THIS VEHICLE. HOWEVER 2 OF OUR INSIDE DOOR HANDLES HAVE BROKEN. THE DRIVER'S DOOR HANDLE AND BACK SEAT LEFT DOOR HANDLE.. IN SEEING ALL OF THE POSTS REGARDING THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH OTHER JEEP COMMANDER OWNERS IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS A CONSISTENT PROBLEM. IT IS ABSOLUTELY A SAFETY ISSUE FOR MY CHILDREN, MYSELF AND ANYONE INSIDE THE CAR. MY SON SWITCHED THE CHILD SAFETY LOCK ON THE BACKSEAT (LEFT SIDE) DOOR AS WELL AND NOW BECAUSE THE DOOR HANDLE IS BROKEN WE ARE UNABLE TO SWITCH IT BACK. THEREFORE, THE ONLY WAY THAT PASSENGER CAN GET OUT OF THE CAR IS IF SOMEONE OPENS THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. DOOR LATCHES/HANDLES BREAKING IS AN ENORMOUS SAFETY PROBLEM AND VIABLE REASON FOR A RECALL. WE ARE REQUESTING AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS MATTER FOR CONSIDERATION OF A RECALL. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE ENGINE JUST TURNED OFF,COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED OFF THE KEY AND RESTARTED ENGINE,CONTINUING DOWN THE ROAD IT HAPPENED AGAIN. IT SEEMS TO HAVE GONE AWAY AND I MADE IT HOME OK BUT MY BABY WAS IN THE CAR,WHAT IF I HAD BEEN IN A SITUATION THAT PREVENTED MY SAFE PULL OVER AND WE GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT. *TR

MY 8 YEAR OLD NIECE WAS BUCKLING HER SEATBELT IN THE THIRD ROW WHEN THE LOCKING MECHANISM OF THE SEAT BELT BROKE OFF IN HER HAND. WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IN (GOD FORBID) AN ACCIDENT? IT SURE WOULDN'T HAVE RESTRAINED HER! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER 4X2. DURING RAINY WEATHER CONDITIONS, WATER LEAKED INSIDE THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE FRONT AND REAR OF THE VEHICLE FLOODED AND THE REAR INTERIOR WAS MOLDING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ROOF DRAINS AND TUBES WERE CLOGGED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES OF MY VEHICLE HAVE ALL DEVELOPED HAIRLINE FRACTURES AND THEN THEY END UP SHATTERING UPON NORMAL USE. ALL 4 OF MY INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ARE NOW COMPLETELY BROKEN AND THE DRIVER DOOR TAKES TIME AND CARE TO OPEN IT FROM THE INSIDE. I AM AFRAID THAT IF THERE IS AN AUTO ACCIDENT I AM INVOLVED IN, I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF MY VEHICLE OR GET MY THREE VERY YOUNG CHILDREN OUT EITHER. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH AND COMPLETELY OUT OF THE BLUE THE CAR SHUT OFF AND CARS WERE HONKING AND I HAD TO GET THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I SAT THERE AND WAITED TO MAKE SURE THE CAR WAS NOT OVERHEATING OR ANYTHING ELSE BUT NO LIGHTS HAD COME ON OR ANY TYPE OF WARNING. I THEN STARTED THE CAR BACK UP AND IT RAN FINE BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT HAD COME ON. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO GET FIXED AND THEY SAID IT WAS A LOOSE AIR FILTER BOX. I FIXED THIS AND DID NOT HAVE THE PROBLEM FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND THEN THE OTHER DAY DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 50 MPH THE CAR SHUTOFF. ITS VERY SCARY FOR A CAR TO SUDDENLY SHUT OFF WITH NO WARNING WHATSOEVER AND I'M SO AFRAID I WILL GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. I JUST HAD A RECALL DONE TO THE CAR AND THEY THOUGHT IT WOULD TAKE CARE OF IT BUT IT IS STILL DOING IT. I JUST PAID THIS CAR OFF AND REALLY I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT NOW. *TR

ON THE EVENING OF 5/04/2013 WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT A RATE OF BETWEEN 65 & 70 MPH MY HEADLIGHTS ALONG WITH MY ENTIRE DASHBOARD AND INSTRUMENT PANEL BEGIN FLICKERING AND EVENTUALLY WENT OUT! I PULLED OVER TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTED IT THE HEADLIGHT CAME ON IMMEDIATELY, HOWEVER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FLICKERED FOR A BIT THEN EVENTUALLY ILLUMINATED. WENT INTO AUTOZONE (@#$%) GOT A READING, WAS TOLD IT WAS A MINOR ISSUE AND TO GET IT CHECKED OUT. A COUPLE DAYS GO BY REALLY NOT DRIVING IT MUCH A LITTLE NERVOUS, HOWEVER WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE NONE OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL IS WORKING, THY TACHOMETER NEEDLE, THE SPEEDOMETER NOTHING, HOWEVER THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING AND IT WOULD SHIFT IN AND OUT OF GEAR, BUT IT WOULD JERK AND STALL AND WHENEVER I TRIED TO MAKE A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN THE BRAKES WOULD GRIND AND SCREECH! "YITES" THANK GOD, WE HAVE ANOTHER VEHICLE! ANYWAY I CALLED A LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO BE CHARGED A DIAGNOSTIC FEE OF $130.00 FOR EACH COMPONENT TESTED??? REALLY! ANYWAY IT GETS BETTER I CALLED CHRYSLER-JEEP MANUFACTURER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT ALTHOUGH MY CAR WAS DOING EXACTLY WHAT MILLIONS OF OTHER RECALLED COMMANDERS MADE IN THE SAME YEAR 2006 WERE DOING, MY "VIN" NUMBER WASN'T ON THE RECALL LIST, GOOOOO FIGURE! SO YEAH, ALTHOUGH MY JEEP SHIFTS IN AND OUT OF GEAR ON THE HIGHWAY, CLUSTER BOARD AND HEADLIGHTS FLICKER OFF AND IT STALLS LIKE IT GOING TO SHUT OFF! NO CIGAR! I GUESS I'LL BRING TO WHERE I PURCHASED IT FROM AND USE MY "MAX CARE WARRANTY" GOD GIVE ME THE STRENGTH! *TR

HAVING FRONT SEAT BELT ISSUES. THEY BOTH DON'T LOCK PROPERLY. I HAVE TO HOLD DOWN THE RED RELEASE BUTTON TO LOCK THEM AND NOW THE COMPUTER DOES NOT RECONIZE THEM AS BEING LOCKED AND THE SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON AND IT CHUMES ALL THE TIME AND DOES NOT STOP. IS THERE A RECALL FOR THIS BECAUSE I SEE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS FOR THIS ISSUE. IS THERE AN EASY FIX FOR THIS AND CAN IT BE TURNED OFF. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRIECIATED.

THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ARE BROKEN. YOU CANNOT OPEN THE DOORS FROM THE INSIDE. IF INSIDE THE VEHICLE YOU HAVE TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW TO OPEN THE DOOR. THE DOORS AND HANDLES HAVE NOT BEEN ABUSED, AND HAVE ONLY BEEN SUBJECTED TO NORMAL EVERYDAY USE.

I THINK IT WAS AROUND APRIL 20TH, I WOULD HAVE TO CHECK THE DATE FOR SURE..WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE DOING ABOUT 70 MPH AND THE VEH STARTED LOSING POWER.. IT MADE A TERRIBLE NOISE , SOUNDED IF YOU WERE ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND IT WAS VIBRATING TERRIBLE. IT HAS A TERRIBLE SMELL TOO IT AND LOST TOTAL POWER AND HAD TO PULL OVER. MY HUSBAND GOT OUT AND LOOKED AND THERE WAS OIL POURING OUT OF THE REAR END. THE CAR WOULD HARDLY MOVE AT ALL. WE HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ADVISED THE THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WENT OUT. THE JEEP HAD 62000 ON IT AND LOOKS AND ROAD LIKE A BRAND NEW CAR TILL THEN. WE HAD THAT REPAIRED 750.00 COST. NOWWWWWWWW WE HAVE A TERRIBLE LEAK NOT SURE WHERE IT IS COMING FROM, WHEN IT RAINS WE GET 3 INCHES OF WATER IN THE DRIVERS SIDE FLOOR BOARD, IT LEAKED SO BAD THE WIRING IS SHORTING OUT NOW. THE CARPET IS GETTING MOLDED AND HAS A BAD SMELL TOO IT. WE CAN NOT FIND THE LEAK WHAT SO EVER AND IT IS GETTING RATHER FRUSTRATING HAVING TO HAVE YOUR FEET IN 3 INCHES OF WATER WHEN TRYING TO DRIVE. THE SPEAKERS ON THE LEFT SIDE IF SHORTED OUT ON THE SATELLITE RADIO BUT WILL WORK FINE ON CD'S OR AM FM. THE AIR CONDITION NOW ONLY WORKS GOOD ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND IS WARM ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. *TR

NORMAL START UP AND DRIVING. ALL DASH LIGHTS, HEAD LIGHTS, WARNING LIGHTS BEGAN BLINKING ON AND OFF VERY QUICKLY FOR A FEW MINUTES UNTIL JIGGLING THE IGNITION KEY A FEW TIMES GOT ALL LIGHTS TO STAY ON AND WARNING LIGHTS TO STAY OFF. CAR CONTINUED TO RUN AT THE 35 MILES PER HOUR. GAUGES WERE GOING FROM 0 TO NORMAL READINGS DURING THIS SAME TIME PERIOD. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THIS FIRST INCIDENT. DID NOT NOTICE QUICKLY ENOUGH IF THE AIR BAG LIGHTS WERE GOING ON AND OFF ALSO BUT SUSPECT THAT THEY WERE. ALL WERE IN AND OUT OF ALARM. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER FROM CITY AUTO IN MEMPHIS, TN ON 9/14/11 AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A ONE-OWNER VEHICLE ORIGINATING FROM THE STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA. I NOTICED HESITATION IN THE TRANSMISSION AND VARIANCES (ROUGH - UP AND DOWN) IN THE IDLING SHORTLY AFTER MY PURCHASE. I THEN STARTED TO GET THE "TRANSMISSION/ENGINE" LIGHT COMING ON. BUT IT WOULD GO AWAY ALMOST AS QUICK AS IT WOULD COME ON. I THEN HAD MY ENGINE STALL WHILE DRIVING FULL SPEED ON THE INTERSTATE. I LOST ALL POWER! FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO GET OVER TO THE SHOULDER SAFELY! WE IMMEDIATELY STARTED DOING SOME RESEARCH ON VARIOUS FORUMS, INCLUDING JEEP FORUM, ON THE "STALLING ISSUE" AND "LIGHTS COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY". MY HUSBAND TOOK IT TO OUR LOCAL AUTOZONE AND THEY HOOKED IT UP TO THEIR CODING SCANNER MACHINE. IT GAVE US THE CODE TO CHANGE THE MAP SENSOR NEEDED TO BE CHANGED. MY HUSBAND CHANGED THIS OUT LAST SUMMER (2013). IT HELPED FOR A LITTLE BIT. :( THEN BEGAN HAVING THE SAME ISSUES, STALLING OUT WHILE DRIVING, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON/OFF AND ROUGH IDLING. HUSBAND WENT BACK AND HAD THEM HOOK UP TO CODING MACHINE AND THIS TIME WAS GIVEN THE CODE FOR O2 SENSOR, WHICH HE PURCHASED AND CHANGED OUT. NOW IT'S WORSE THAN EVER! IT WON'T EVEN STAY IDLED. IT STALLS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY! I HAVE TO KEEP MY FOOT ON THE GAS (AND BRAKE WHEN NEEDED) ALL THE TIME! IF I LET IT GO BELOW 1000RPMS IT DIES! WE TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC & WAS TOLD THE PCM WAS BAD. BUT HE TOLD US THAT THERE WERE RECALLS THAT MAY FIX THE ISSUE. SO WE TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP WHO PERFORMED THE RECALL BUT UNFORTUNATELY IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEMS. THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE "FIX" TO A PROBLEM THAT APPEARS TO HAVE NEVER HAVE BEEN RESOLVED PROPERLY BY THE MANUFACTURER!! THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER AS IT IS A MAJOR DRIVING & SAFETY HAZARD! *TR

ALL THE SAME SYMPTOMS, DIFFERENT FIX EACH TIME. 4/11/13: POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE REPLACED @94166 MILES 4/29/13: IGNITION CONTROL REPLACED @95,824 MILES 5/6/13: FRONT CONTROL MODULE REPLACED @96319 MILES. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HWY AT 60 MPH. MY JEEP SUDDENLY SLOWED DOWN WITHOUT ME PUSHING THE BRAKE. I PULLED OVER AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AS WELL. IT WOULD NOT START BACK UP. *TR

2006 JEEP COMMANDER. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO SUDDEN ACCELERATION. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED WHILE TRAVELING SOUTHBOUND ON THE NORTHWAY, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING ACCELERATED AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED OF ABOUT 90 MPH. AT THE TIME, THE CONSUMER WAS ABOUT FIVE CAR LENGTHS FROM AN AUTOMOBILE AHEAD OF HIM IN THE SAME LANE, AND IN 10 SECONDS HE WAS JUST A FEW FEET OF OVERTAKING AND CRASHING INTO THE VEHICLE. HE APPLIED THE BRAKE, THEN THE ACCELERATOR, REPEATING IT OVER AND OVER, BUT TO NO AVAIL, UNABLE TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP OR EVEN SLOW IT DOWN. REALIZING THAT CRASHING INTO THE VEHICLE WAS IMMINENT, HE MADE AN OBLIQUE TURN INTO THE TRAFFIC LANE TO HIS LEFT AND CONTINUED AT 90 MPH WITH THE ENGINE SCREAMING AND WITH THE THRUST OF A ROCKET, HIS FOOT WAS ON THE ACCELERATOR, TRYING TO SHUT THE VEHICLE DOWN. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED ON AT A HIGH SPEED FOR ANOTHER 10 OR 15 SECONDS AND THEN THE SITUATION CORRECTED ITSELF AND IT SETTLED DOWN TO 50 MPH. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, WHERE AN INSPECTION REVEALED THE THROTTLE BODY PLATE WAS FULL OF CARBON AND THAT INTERFERED WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF THE THROTTLE CAUSING THE SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION OF THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT BOTH REAR INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES WERE FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS ADVISED THAT BOTH REAR DOOR PANELS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

WE HAVE CALLED JEEP TO LET THEM KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE VEHICLE. THE COMPUTER TO THE TRANSMISSION IS PUTTING IN GEARS THAT ARE NOT CORRECT. SOMETIMES U CAN LET GAS GO AND JEEP WILL BE RUNNING 20 TO 30 MILES ON ITS OWN. ALSO YESTERDAY I PUT THE JEEP ON NEUTRAL AND IT WENT REVERSE REAL FAST ABOUT 15 MILES. THE JEEP WAS LEVEL SO NO EXCUSE WHY IT SHOULD BE GOING BACKWARDS ON NEUTRAL. I HAVE CALLED JEEP AND LET THEM KNOW AND THEY TELL ME I HAVE TO TAKE IT TO GET FIXED. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO DO THIS RIGHT NOW. THIS CAN REALLY CAUSE A ACCIDENT IF SOMEONE WAS IN THE BACK OF MY JEEP AT THAT TIME . I TOOK IT TO GET CHECKED AT AUTO ZONE AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS FACTORY CODES AND THEY COULD NOT HELP BUT WHAT THE TRUCK WAS DOING COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

I PURCHASED THE COMMANDER IN SEPTEMBER 2012. IT RAN GREAT FOR A FEW MONTHS AND THEN IT STARTED TO STALL. I REPLACED THE MAPS SENSOR AND TPS SENSOR AND IT'S STILL STALLING. THE STALLING IS AT RANDOM AND HAS HAPPENED MANY TIME WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 65+. THAT'S EXTEREMLY DANGEROUS AND THIS ISSUE SHOULD HAVE BEEN RESOLVED BY NOW. DOING RESEARCH ONLINE I KNOW SEE THAT THERE IS THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THIS VERY SAME ISSUE AND NO ONE HAS SUCCESSFULLY RESOLVED IT. THERE IS AN OBVIOUS DEFECT WITH THIS JEEP AND CHRYSLER NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. I BLAME MYSELF FOR NOT DOING ANY PROPER RESEARCH BEFORE PURCHASING. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCT AGAIN.

I HAVE A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER AND ALL FOUR INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ARE CRACKED AND BROKEN. THE DOORS CAN'T BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AND THE CAR ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN THE CAR STARTED TO LOSE ACCELERATING AT 60 MPH AND I HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE RIDE AND RE START THE CAR AND I WAS ON THE FREEWAY GOING TO WORK WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP THIS IS THE CAR THAT I USE EVERYDAY TO GO TO WORK AND I ONLY HAD JUST CAR FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS AND WHEN I PURCHASE A CAR I EXPECT THAT IT WILL LAST FOR ME WHILE I'M MAKING THE PAYMENTS AND I HAVE 3 MORE YEARS TO PAY ON THE CAR I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT THE ISSUE. I HAVE LET THE DEALERSHIP ONLY WORK ON MY CAR SINCE I PURCHASE THE VEHICLE. CHRYSLER PERFORMS ALL MY OILS CHANGES TUNE UP AND EVERYTHING THAT I NEED TO HAVE DOWN AND ITS NOT FAIR THAT THE TRUCK WAS DISCONTINUE I FEEL LIKE THE COMPANY KNOWS THAT THE TRUCK IS HAVING THE PROBLEMS AND NOBODY WANTS TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM A USED DEALERSHIP I HAVE ONLY OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS. HAVE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE FOR THE LAST MONTH AND A HALF. AND IT ALL BEGAN ON THE INTERSTATE. I WAS TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE DOING ABOUT 75 AND IT JUST SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF A CLUSTER OF CARS AND I HAD TO GO OVER 2 LANES TO GET TO THE SHOULDER. I LOST STEERING AND BRAKES WITHIN 10 SECONDS. ONE OF THE MOST SCARIEST RIDES EVER. I AM NOW AFRAID TO TRAVEL ON THE INTERSTATE WITH THIS VEHICLE. SINCE THIS HAS HAPPENED IT HAS SHUT OFF AN ADDITIONAL 5 TIMES I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP CAUSE THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND THEY SAID IT WAS A MAP SENSOR, I HAVE REPLACED THIS TWICE ALREADY. NOW IT DOESN'T IDLE RIGHT AND LOOSES POWER IN BETWEEN 30 AND 35 MPH. AND THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS ONCE AGAIN CAME ON. HAVEN'T HAD IT CHECKED YET CAUSE IT IS A SATURDAY NIGHT GUESS I WILL HAVE TO TAKE IT SOMEWHERE ON MONDAY. *TR

MY INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ARE BREAKING DUE TO WHAT APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURE DEFECT. WITH THE DOOR HANDLES BREAKING IT IS AND OR WILL CAUSE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION IF YOUR ARE EVER IN AN ACCIDENT AND OR FIRE PREVENTING YOU FROM EXITING THE VEHICLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER PARKING AND EXITING THE VEHICLE, IT SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL INDEPENDENTLY, ROLLED AWAY, AND IMPACTED HER. NO POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THE DRIVER SUSTAINED A BLOOD CLOT AFTER THE IMPACT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 110,000. *TR

BOUGHT THIS JEEP IN 2007. RECENTLY WHEN I SLOW DOWN TO STOP IT JUMPS AND STALLS OUT. IT HAS BEEN TO THE MECHANIC SEVERAL TIMES AND HE CANNOT FIGURE OUT THE CAUSE. I FOUND A FORUM ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT WHY THIS VEHICLE DOES THIS. *TR

MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER SEEMED TO LOSE POWER OR SHIFT TO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME 2 TIMES. I HAD MY 3 CHILDREN TRAVELING IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME ONE OF THOSE TIMES. I HAD TO RECRANK THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING. IT COMES WITHOUT WARNING. WHEN I SAW RECALL N23 I WAS RELIEVED THAT I WOULD HAVE RECOURSE TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED, BUT WHEN I CALL TODAY, THEY TELL ME MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF MY OWN POCKET FOR ANY REPAIRS BECAUSE CHRYSLER DETERMINED MY VEHICLE WASN'T COVERED. I HAVE RECENTLY HAD OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE, THAT I NOW SEE MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE HAD. THE DOOR HANDLES ARE ALL BROKEN FROM FLIMSY PLASTIC. IT REQUIRES THE WHOLE DOOR PANEL TO BE REPLACED TO REPAIR. ALSO I AM NOW HAVING STARTING PROBLEMS THAT ARE UNABLE TO BE DIAGNOSED. I HAVE BEEN A PROUD JEEP OWNER AND HAVE ENJOYED THIS VEHICLE HOWEVER, NOW I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED BY CHRYSLER. I WILL NOT BE A REPEAT CUSTOMER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTROL PANEL FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE CONTACT COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V438000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AND STATED THAT THE PART NEEDED FOR THE RECALL REPAIR WERE NOT AVAILABLE. 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 APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,000.

BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FEBRUARY, 2 DAYS AFTER I GET IT, THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLE BREAKS AND EVENTUALLY ALL OF THEM HAVE FELL IN. THEY BREAK WITH A BUMP OF A KNEE OR ANYTHING. I HAVE HAD ONE REPLACED AND NOW THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH MY KIDS THEY CANT OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. THESE INSIDE DOOR HANDLES ARE VERY CHEAPLY MADE AND NOT SAFE FOR ANYONE IF THEY HAD TO GET OUT FAST. *JB

THE REAR PASSENGER INSIDE DOOR HANDLE IS NO LONGER FUNCTIONING. THERE IS A PIECE OF PLASTIC WITHIN THE DOOR THAT BRACES THE HANDLE SO IT IS SECURE ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO PULL IT AND OPEN ( UNLATCH) THE DOOR. AT THIS POINT THE DOOR CLOSES BUT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE PASSENGER TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN FOR I HAVE 2 CHILDREN THAT RIDE IN THE BACK FREQUENTLY. MY JEEP DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND I WAS TOLD THAT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. MY JEEP IS UNDER 100, 000 MILES AND FOR THIS TO HAPPEN INSIDE THE DOOR WHERE NO PERSON CAN TOUCH THIS RIDICULOUS. *TR
