The airbag sensor for the 2006 jeep commanders seems to be a prevalent issue. After doing a web search the issue seems to be predominantly with 2006 jeep commanders. The dash airbag light comes in because of a sensor issue. This is irrespective of mileage. Individuals have complained about this issue when the jeep was as little as a year old.

I just purchased this 2006 jeep commander and noticed after purchase the airbag indicator light came on.read later this is a common problem.did manufacturer ever put out a recall for this?is this a sensor issue?
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.
Was driving down the road @ 40 mph & my horn started sounding non stop & kept draining my battery. Turns out it is a faulty clock spring, & my vehicle only has 51k. The part to fix is retailed over $800 & you cannot get ahold of one because they are on national back order. Was told chrysler will not do a recall because this vehicle is over 10 years old, but it only has 51k & this has been recalled on other jeep/chrysler models. Since it is hooked to my airbag, this should be a safety issue, but chrysler does not see it that way. Will never by another jeep because of this.

I was driving;the dashboard lit up and the air bag sign said air bags disengaged. Then the car shut off. I restarted it after several attempts. I want to know when are you going to get this problem fixed. I was fortunate in that i was driving slowly in town. But it has shut off a number of times. I keep only the key in the ignition and it has still done that. To me i think if i am driving on the interstate or some other high volume and high speed area and this occurs again causing an accident you will be the ones to blame.

The vehicle randomly shuts off.the dash gauges flicker and/or go off for a brief time.if breaks are engaged at that time, abs stops.if headlights are on auto, they turn off.if turning a hard left or right (such as turning into a driveway, turning on to a street, parking) power steering stops working. If the lights are on but not on auto the lights stay on.the radio stays on.these symptoms would indicate that there is a problem with the ignition switch.when this issue occurs, it seems to stop by pushing on the key.this has happened multiple times.after visiting this page, a log will be created to record date, time, and speed. This is a huge safety issue.after much research many users of internet forums for jeeps, complain about this issue (reference urls can be provided). The nhtsa campaign number: 14v047000 sounds very similar in nature.could the nhtsa look in to the parts being the same?
My airbags in my vehicle would shut off on there own then my lights started turning on and off as i drove.. Thats the start ..one day im driving home with my kids and my car stalls out in the middle of the road tryed everything wouldnt start but windows worked except front and lights but no power. I had it towed to jeep and they insisted it was my battery.i go get my truck and as im driving all my lights come back on and all my gauges no longer worked,airbags no longer worked. They put it on the computer and p41 code came on which is my ignition switch recall from chrysler.jeep had me contact chrysler and they said that part wont be available no time soon and they were going to put me in a rental . The next day chrysler contacted jeep and then jeep said they have no idea its some electrical but they cant guarantee so i called the manager and told them its unacceptable i am without a car because chrysler wont fix the recall its a safety issue and they told me they cant do anything

Air bag light is on
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander.while driving 40 mph she was sideswiped by a van on the passenger side which caused the vehicle to roll over three to four times.the contact suffered neck, back and shoulder injuries. The vehicle was destroyed.the airbags in the vehicle did not deploy. The manufacturer stated that the right side airbag did not deploy because the impact was not strong enough to cause deployment.the current and failure mileage were 4,000.
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.
I purchased this vehichle in aug of 2012 and have been having electrical issues that have caused my vehichle to shut of while driving. I have also had issues with starting because the electrical system is failing.i have researched this issue and there are already many complaints on this vehichle with the same issues i'm having. I am very disappointed in this vehichle after spending the money to purchase it with 44,000 miles on it and have had nothing but issues with the electrical system, dash lights, and battery.

My jeep commander has a recall, i took it in right away and was told part not available. It has been over a year and still not fixed. The dealership says no parts in yet and its been over one year. One year and i have made multiple trips and calls to the rio vista california chrysler dealership and their response is that chrysler is to send me a letter when the part is available. Dealership is saying part not available. This is a safety issue and my children's safety comes first. I'm appalled at how this has been handled. I've been patient for too long.
In march of 2012, i was driving my 2006 jeep commander v8 on a two lane highway.at the time of the accident, i had been decreasing speed, when the truck in front of me suddenly slammed on his brakes. However, when ipressed down hard on my brakes, my brakes/anti-lock brakes completely failed, causing me to crash into the truck in front of me. While trying to brake, my car stalled and continued to propel forward, causing a lack of steering capability, inevitably causing a crash, in which my air bags did not deploy. After the police arrived, i was able to start the car and barely made it home, having to push it several blocks. My suv went into the shop for almost one month. After my suv was fixed, including exterior and radiator, the suv continued to overheat without cause and it was now considered a total loss. I was not prepared for my vehicle to be considered a total loss as the issues appeared to be minor. I endured major hardship as a result on this accident, including lack of work and occurred at an inopportune time for me to buy a new vehicle, resulting in a high interest rate and skyrocketing insurance, since i was considered at fault, despite lack of being cited due to vehicle issues. After 2 yrs, i finally was able to refinance my car; however, my insurance will remain high til feb 2015 @$314 (35 mos). I did not realize why the vehicle's braking and stalling occurred as i was not made aware of the recall until july 2014! if recalls occurred in 07-09, why was i not informed prior to this accident? this accident could have been prevented! when i called to speak to chrysler, they said that there was nothing that they could do because the car was scrapped. I do not understand why some people can be compensated for issues, but i am disregarded despite the ongoing hardship caused by a defect caused by chrysler! is there anyone out there that can help!?
The door handles have completely disentegrated an the windows no longer operate. The seat belts work intermittently and the door locks unlock an lock at random. The engine starts an stops on it's own. This vehicle was my dream vehicle but now i feel totally endangered by the lack of care and design by jeep. I feel it is a ticking time bomb ready to cause danger at some point to me or my family

My jeep was hit by another car traveling about 40 mph in a t-bone manner causing my vehicle to spin around and begin barrel roll two revolutions before nose-over landing on the roof. The collision resulted in both vehicles being totally destroyed. No fatalities but serious injuries were sustained by me. I am a former traffic cop and have work many, many traffic crashes with all types of vehicles with all types of injuries / fatalities reporting so i feel qualified to say i am surprised that the air bags on my jeep never deployed.
October 2008 we purchased a jeep commander with warranty from carmax modesto, ca.a number of weeks later the airbag light came on and went off, came back on etc. We took it to car max and made inquiries as to trading it in. During the inspection we were told that they couldn't take it back as there was a problem with the transmission the repair it materialized that the windscreen had been damaged and replaced with all of its wiring etc cut and not replace/repaired at carmax roseville, ca before it was sold to us car max told us this themselves. Jeep fixed the air bag & transmission but carmax insisted that they repair the windscreen, wipers, wiring etc.before we had the opportunity to turn it in to repair the original repair job the airbag light came back on. 4 weeks ago car max modesto was in receipt of our vehicle and it has yet to be fixed. They couldn't fix it and sent it to jeep. Jeep couldn't fix it so they contacted chrysler. We asked them to take back this vehicle; they refused to. When they learned from jeep & chrysler that the repair would cost them $6,000 earlier this week they then decided to consider our request. They decided not to. It has taken nearly 4 weeks to find a way to repair the vehicle as the parts required to complete the job are no longer being produced. But apparently they have come up with a way to work around this! our complaint is 1)unethical sales practices i.e. The sale of a faulty vehicle and the assurances from the sales associate with whom we worked that no work of any significance had been conducted on this vehicle even though it had been worked on by carmax. By their own admission it was sold to us faulty 2) they deem it appropriate to return a vehicle to a family of 4 when its airbag functionality is questionable 3) ineffective post purchase care.
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.

While driving down the road the vehicleengine 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 ihad 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

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.
Since the beginning of ownership, this car has stalled many times (as well as other various and odd electrical problems.)many times i can turn the car off and on and it will restart.this does happen in parking lots and highway speeds as well. I have also lost power steering and brakes when in parking lots at a very slow acceleration speed. I have also had air bag warning lights go on and stay on then randomly shut off.the dealer has tried to help resolve but is limited by chrysler's ability to recognize that there is a problem.if there is no code in the cars computer, there is no problem and can't be duplicated.if the problem can't be duplicated, there is no repair. But it keeps happening over and over.i have filed a complaint with chrysler with no resolve.the dealership has had my car and drove it for 3 weeks to try to duplicate the problem.since it is so random and they just didn't get enough time/miles in, the problem didn't happen.it stalled again about 3 weeks after that pulling out of my driveway.there has been no repair, because chrysler says there is no problem.i have been in the middle of an intersection with a 15 year old on a permit driving with oncoming traffic.i have had this car since march 2006 and this has been occurring many times repeatedly since then.not all have been documented and because it occasionally happens on weekends or holidays, i have no ability to get it in to a dealership.in order for them to be able to read a code, i would have to leave the car in a stalled position wherever it occurred and have it towed directly to the dealer.this is highly impractical and unsafe.especially scary at high speeds on the highway.i do not want to be a casualty of chrysler's failure to recognize that there are thousands of these vehicles out there doing this exact same thing.do a "google" searchsee the #'s!something needs to be done!!!
In september of 2014 i recently bought a 2006 jeep commander. A few weeks after purchasing the vehicle i noticed the car was shutting off when i was at stop signs, red lights, and most seriously when i was driving. I was not sure as to why my car was doing this. I tried everything from a new battery and countless appointments at my mechanic. I was not informed of any type of recall on my car, until i did my own personal research. In may of 2015 i took my car to a chrysler, dodge, jeep and ram dealership to find out when i could order the part for the p-41 recall on my car. I was informed that the part was not available in the country and they were not sure of when it would arrive. I was told the car was "safe" to drive. I was given a few tips: sit far enough away from the steering wheel so my knees were not close to the key, have the car key only on a ring by itself, always wear my seat belt, and avoid having a front passenger. It was only a matter of 4 weeks until i was experiencing the issue again. I was driving on the highway with my boyfriend and one year old daughter going about 65mph when my car completely shut off, i lost power steering, brakes, and every single light turned on. I had to resort to pulling the e-brake which did not help slow my car down. This was the most serious and dangerous incident, luckily we did not get hurt, or hurt anyone else. As a result, i took my car to another jeep dealership and was advised the same information that the part was not able to be ordered and given the same tips. I requested a rental for the safety of myself and my daughter. It took me 2 weeks to finally receive a rental. I have had a rental for almost two weeks now and was told by the dealership, by pulling the e-brake it was going to cost me $1600 to fix. I do not feel as if i am responsible for the cost of the repair, considering this was caused by the p-41 recall.
While driving at 45 mph the vehicle just turned off. There is a faulty ignition switch recall but chrysler will not do anything to help get this repaired. I received a recall notice and contacted them but they will not get back to me about repair. This 2006 vehicle is being driven by my daughter who is 19 years old and away at college. Unfortunately my vehicle is a 2007 jeep commander and has the same recall therefore i can't even give her my vehicle to drive since it is unsafe as well. At the very least chrysler should repair these vehicle pronto! in the interim they should provide a safe vehicle for my daughter to drive.

P41 recall.before recall my 2006 jeep commander turned off on its own numerous times. This resulted in engine shut down, no electrical system, etc. I have contacted chrysler several times. I get the same response, part not available. Why?i am told the supplier does not have part. Why not?. This is an old recall, however chrysler is repairing or buying back newer models of vehicles due to faulty design. 2006 jeep commander recall is just as serious as newer recalls. The faulty ignition switch results in entire shut down of jeep, including air bags.i was told to adjust seat so that knee does not make contact with keys in ignition. What?i suggest thatvehicles with faulty ignition switch be a part of the chrysler buy back or repair immediately. Also, to avoidfurther serious accidents and possible death resulting form faulty ignition switch.
This might be tamara inflators. Service light is on for passenger side front airbag
My jeep commander turned off, causing my brakes to fail along with steering and airbags to fail. I crashed into the back of someone towing a pontoon boat. The total cost of damage was over $7,000. My insurance had to cover it. This is because of the recall p41. I have called and complained several times about my dash lights flickering, and my jeep turning itself off. I was without my vehicle for 3 weeks while it was being repaired. Chrysler needs to get this issue figured out! this could have been a much worse accident had i been on the interstate.

All of my safety warning lights flash on and off repeatedly. When this happens my car electrical things turn off including the ac,radio and everything else. The engine how ever did not. The car kept running but everything else stalled and turned off and on.. The first time was on the street but it continued even on the freeway going 60 mph. I took to dealer and they stated nothing is wrong. They could not find anythin. They even put in on the computer machine and nothing. I have only had vehicle for 2 months and im very worried. I have no other transportation and have to drive the vehicle to work and my kids around.i have a video of how the car kept doing that. If someone can contact me , i would be more than happy to send the vehicle video over.

I own a jeep commander and it has died on me for now reason now more than 7 times. I was at a stop light, sometimes on the freeway the car just stops. I step on the gas and the car doesn't move the engine shuts off and the steering wheel hardens and doesn't steer. I took it into the jeep dealer where i leased it from and they found nothing wrong with it. They told me that there are other complaints with other commander owners but they have no fix to it. They even told me that when they find what's wrong with someone else's commander they would call me so i guess they still don't know what's wrong this had been happening now a lot lately. I am going to take it back again to the dealer ship and see what they say.

I bought a jeep comander in may of 2008, two days later i had to have what was supposed to be a really great new car towed on a rollback to the dealer i had just gotten it from. Im driving down the road and it starts making a terrible noise and then it will not turn and just dies in the middle of the road. Right in the middle of an intersection with traffic coming at me. Since then the same thing happened again as i was driving down the interstate with my children in the car and traffic all around.i drove it straight to the dealership, and also had them tell me it was the driver of the vehicle. I got a rental and they called the next day to say they could find anything wrong with the car. During the winter my car decided to get a mind of its own and when you would turn the heat on you had to have it on high or it wouldn't do anything,but if you drove around a curve to the right it would cut off, if you went around a curve to the left it would cut back on. A couple months later it was time to get brakes and have rotors turned. I also had the stereo worked on because i guess it took lessons from my heater, and would change stations or not turn at all .it still doesn't work right at this point i've kind of given up on it.but then the window s started not going up all the way theywould go halfway up then go back down in the door. Ihave just taken my car on friday to get new tires, monday for an alignment,where i was told they couldn't do one because my tierod had to much play in it and was a safety concern. My dealership no longer has their license so i had my car taken to the closest jeep place and my warranty couldn't be found and i basically stood on the street to wait for a ride as they closedfor the night.but then when i got to talk to them again i needed new brakes and rotors all the way around at a grand total of 600.00 .

Three times i experienced power loss while driving my 2006 jeep commander, 4x4. The first time -- i turned the ignition to start the jeep and it didn't kick over right away, all the warning lights lit up simultaneously, then randomly and at varying lengths of time went out. The dash lights and the radio were turning on and off. Weird, i shut it off and waited about 2 minutes. I started it again and everything seemed ok (except the airbag light remained on). As i was pulling out of the parking lot onto the main road, the dashboard lit up again, flashing on and off as before, and then a clunk-jerk -- no power steering, no power brakes, lights still going crazy. Luckily i was able to coast into another parking lot, stop safely. I turned it off, waited 5 minutes, then it started and i made it home without incident (airbag light still lingered for a while).two and a half weeks later, as i was leaving my house (so i was going slow) the dashboard started the same flashing routine as before. I shut the jeep off immediately, waited about 2 minutes and re-started. No further problems but the airbag light lingered a few minutes as before.the third incident (october 29th), i was driving along the main road about 40 mhp on a straight smooth section when all the warning lights began flashing on/off (oh, no!). At the first opportunity i turned off the main road and kept driving slowly to my garage. I made it there without losing the steering/brakes, lights flashing the whole way. I am scared to drive it now. The dealer is unable to re-create the problem, their only solution was to call the manufacturer, who suggests that i remove the other three keys from my keyring because their weight must be causing the highly-sensitive ignition tumbler to toggle to accessory mode.uuuuugggghhhhhh. I am not comfortable with this explanation. I am still afraid to drive this vehicle. What should i do?

My 2006 jeep commander 5.7l sometimes loses all the displays in the front panel dash board. Everything goes out. My a/c will not turn on. No radio, etc. This happens intermittently, like something is loose. It has never happened at night yet, so i am not sure if i also lose my headlights, but anything on the dashboard is off, no gas gauge, no speedometer, no temp gauge, etc. It has happened 5 times already. Is there a recall to 2006 jeep commanders that address this problem?
For no reason the jeep would just die, on the intrastate, in town, anywhere, justshut off, then after a hour or so it would start again.after being in the shop many weeks for this, the two computers were found to be the problem.changed the computers, at the fee of almost $ 2000 and no more problems, which the money is nothing knowing my teenage daughter wont stall on the intrastate and be killed. Chrylser corp can care less !!!!
While driving at 45 mph the vehicle just turned off. There is a faulty ignition switch recall but chrysler will not do anything to help get this repaired. I received a recall notice and contacted them but they will not get back to me about repair. This 2006 vehicle is being driven by my daughter who is 19 years old and away at college. Unfortunately my vehicle is a 2007 jeep commander and has the same recall therefore i can't even give her my vehicle to drive since it is unsafe as well. At the very least chrysler should repair these vehicle pronto! in the interim they should provide a safe vehicle for my daughter to drive.
Chrysler issued a safety recall p41 / nhtsa 14v-438 and sent notification in june of 2014.15 months have passed and i have been calling periodically.i was informed the manufacturer is not yet making the part.this is a safety issue as the vehicle can intermittently shut down during operation.i have experienced this multiple times since purchasing the vehicle and taken it to the dealer for investigation prior to receiving the recall notice.to have such an issue, notify owners and then not be able to provide a resolution or an anticipated date is unacceptable.
Takata recall my jeep commander has been nothing but trouble since i purchased it i have had all the recalls done by my local jeep dealership and still have to constantly replace wheel speed (abs) sensors and reprogram the computer. At low speeds off aproxamitly 15-20 mph i loose power like the vehicle is trying to starve itself from fuel affecting accelerate so if you pull out into a intersection it practically dies and the. When you go to brake the pedal gets hard and the vehicle keeps rolling i have to replace all 4 wheel sensor (abs) and get computer reprogrammed for it to stop costing hundreds of dollars to do over the time that i have owned the vehicle i have learned to perform such task on my own . But i am sick and tired of every summer having to buy 4 50 dollar sensors and getting charged 125 dollars to redo the computer and not to mention when the jeep decides to act up it put my child and mother to my child in serious danger never knowing when it will misfunction again and like many others i am upside down on the payments of the vehicle due to all the money invested.

Approximately 40 miles from home, on a day with the temperature well below zero degrees fahrenheit, we rolled our front windows down to talk to our neighbors, who were shopping at the same mall as us.after visiting with them, our windows would not roll back up.our family had to drive in freezing weather back home, on a sunday, with the windows rolled down.on the way, by rapidly depressing the windows lock button, while my wife repeatedly pulled up on the front passenger window switch, we got her window to roll up.we never could get the drivers front window to roll up.i replaced the master switch assembly on the drivers door panel, but that did not help.the dealership told me that i probably have multiple broken wires in the wire bundle in the door hinge area.jeep has not, to my knowledge, addressed this problem at all.the internet forums are chock-full of hundreds and hundreds of consumers that have had, and are having this same problem.

This has happened twice, i was driving home from work at 55mph with my new born child, and the engine shut off, the electirc shut off and the power sterring quit. The car behind me almost smashed into me. The jeep came to a stop and then i turned the key and it turned back on. Please help me!
Out of the blue the whole radio/cd/navigation console went out!the radio still works, but only the preset stations and i can only control it from the steering wheel.then i noticed that the air bag light(on instrument panel) is turning on and off and beeping each time.there have also been water issues coming from the sunroof, soaking the floor boards in mainly the passenger side but sometimes also the drivers side.this only happens when the vehicle is parked.

Often my whole electrical system will flash on and off and has since jan 2009. Three timessince march of last year vehicle has turned its self off while driving (complete steering loss), fortunately at low speed. Also, in 2010 ( i have repair receipt) my transmission control module went out. I had to pay a $200 copay per request of jeep to have it replaced, after much argument. They said my particular 2006 jeep commander wasn't part of the recall, as was all other failing parts included on 2006 commander recalls, excepting ignition.still waiting on ignition fix, its been a year.

As i was driving down the road my automobile turned off and stopped working while driving! this is very dangerous and is very ridiculous considering i received a recall notice over 1 year ago concerning this problem. I make every attempt to ensure the functions of my vehicle are running properly for the safety of my family.i have young children and they could have been seriously injured had we been involved in an accident at the time of my vehicle's failure to operate correctly, due to the manufacturers irresponsibility of taking care of this problem within a proper time frame! jeep and local dealers have been contacted multiple times to try to correct this problem, with no help from them it has yet to be repaired!

We were traveling home on the interstate going about 75 mph, and all of a sudden everything lights up on the dashboard, and my jeep commander starts shutting down without warning!we had to coast off of a exit ramp, and were thankful we did not get smacked from behind or killed! this is the third time that this happened to me.one other time i was taking my child to school, and it just shut off without warning while the truck was in motion, and i had to coast off to the side to a cvs pharmacy parking lot!another problem with this particular truck is that the door handles are poorly made.all of my door handles just started crumbling one by one and will not open from the inside.i have already put in a complaint about the door handles to nhtsa.the last complaint that i have is when it rains heavily, a huge puddle will dampen my passenger side because water is backed up in the sunroof drains. Jeep has cheated a lot of people with this jeep commander!it has too many problems to count and everything cost more than what the jeep is worth!i will never deal with chrysler, jeep, dodge again!they are a bunch of crooks!nhtsa please do something !this broken door handle issue and shutting off without warning is going to get someone seriously hurt or killed!

Our 06 jeep commander has been a nightmare since the day we purchased it used with 14k miles on it in 3/07. We continue to have problems with the dash lights coming on, stalling just today 7/22- the lights lit up and the air conditioner quit working!!! no fan no blower... Nothing. It has been brought in for the recall for this but it keeps happening. Oh and did i mention that autopark jeep in cary, nc sold me a lemon/buyback.... They gave me the carfax report after 30 visits to the service dept.... Fool me once,fool me twice... I am hoping that jeep will buy it back again for this complete lemon!! i know have 37k on it and the service dept was talking that they did not know if jeep would cover the work.... They can keep it..

Vehicle is a 2006 jeep commander 4x4 limited with the 4.7l engine.vehicle has suddenly stalled 4 times while driving in the last 6-8 weeks.vehicle stalled while backing out of parking space, driving 15-20 mph on a city street, while idling at a stop sign, and while accelerating from a stop light.these are the first occurrences in the 4 years we have owned the vehicle.
Have a 2006 jeep commander.lights have been flickering and car has not wanted to start.found that battery was not holding charge and replaced.now we drive at speed and the engine begins to race while not increasing speed.have taken to dealer in cincinnati,northgate and they reset computer but before we could leave the bay area it started making a grinding noise and the check engine light is back on.they say the are going to have the transmission guy look at it and get back to us.i read hundreds of complaints on your site and the majority of them are describing problems that are very similar over the last 3 years.don't you have enough complaints on this that chrysler should be doing a recall?after all the government is now deeply invested in chrysler.

In the fifteen months i've owned the car (purchased new from a jeep dealer) it has been to the orig. Dealer as well as a different dealer multiple times for electronic related issues.early on the car experienced trouble with the right front elect. Passenger window operating improperly.then a series of incidents happened where the dash panel lights would come on and the car would stall. At times there was a noise from under the car.after stopping and restarting the car would run property for a period of time.then the incidents would happen again.the most troubling incident occurred when i was stopping at red light - depresed the brake pedal at low speed.... And the car kept rolling until it impacted the car in front. Minor damage to both vehicles but scary as heck.informed the orig. Dealer and they could find nothing.the incidents with the lights and the noise and other spooky elect problems - such as the middle hvac unit putting out heat while the front and rear put out cold.-prompted me to find a different dealer to take the car to.they (nalley here in atlanta) did a good job and updated some softwear and changed the ignition switch.that alleviated the problems for two weeks then the new ignition switch failed.the promplty replaced that as well even though it was quite a mystery to them.since then i have had two incidents where turning on the ignition switch failed to start the car - there was no response. Allowed the car to sit for a minute then it started.
Worst vehicle ever! we got it with around 98k miles on it, and it now only has 103k miles on it and in the last 4k we've put over $5k into it trying to get it to run. We had to put a new transmission in ($2k) and have the lifters in the engine replaced ($2,600). Currently it's been shutting off on its own a few seconds after i start it and giving random "transmission over temp" and "service 4x4 system" messages even though there's not a problem with those systems.i turn the key, it runs for 3 seconds, then shuts off. Sometimes it does this several times in a row and then won't start at all. Other times it starts fine so it's ridiculously hard to diagnose. Sometimes when it's doing it's shut down bit, you can get it to stay on a little longer by revving the engine, and it will let you pull out of the driveway, but then shuts off in the middle of the street. The sun roof leaks horrifically, even after i've tried the "clip the nipples off the bottom of the hoses" trick.
Problems began 1 day after commander went in to dealer for the regular 3,000mile oil change, that car was returned to me after that oil change, as 'good to go'; w/in 24 hours of that oil change, the commander would not start and required a new starter (30k miles). After the starter was replaced, the commander was stalling if - in the middle of a slight incline it had to brake and then resume - at the resume it would stall.also, after starter replaced dashboard lights blinking; transmission cooler lines leaking, power steering line from pump to cooler leaking, and front and back brake rotors had to be replaced (42k miles)60k miles, the cruise control turns on by itself and the rear park assist turns off by itself; the water leak into front passenger well.speaking with custom relations at chrysler corporate regarding cruise control, rear assist and water leak problems they told me that they were not aware of these being a problem for most commander customers; however, chrysler jeep is aware of these problems as evidenced by the technical service bulletins published on them yet chrysler jeep does not issue a recall/take fiscal responsibility for their manufacturer defects.more: chrysler jeep expects me to pay them to diagnose the problems so that then so long as i have paid a dealer to repair them they will consider (not necessarily approve; in the past they have in fact denied me reimbusement to fix these problems for which they have technical service bulletins on)refunding me total or partial cost of repairs.more: i was only informed of a safety recall regarding ebc module (brake) when i called in last week (12/2011) regarding the water leak & cruise control problem. Making this more poignant, the reason for this recall - that i was not notified about when it was first issued- is a brake issue that i had detailed to chrysler jeep in 2009!
Dash lights flash on/off, gauges go to zero, air bag indicator comes on, anti skid brakes go out then come back on. When will chrysler have fix?recall has been issued but no fix yet.

Recall notice back in sept. Still no status. How long does it take for a safety recall. One life to many i'm guessing. Another issue to look at is the door handle issue. If an accident did occur how would you get out?

I'm a owner of a 2006 jeep commander limited and starting to become frustrated and scared to drive this beautiful car.the problem is that the car stalls out (looses power, electrical, power brakes/ steering, everything) when slowing down at a red light, stop sign, parking spot, etc.i have contacted the dealer and several repair shops concerning this problem and they all tell me that they have no idea what it could be and there are no recalls on the issue.just wanted to see what if anything you suggest for me to do as this i not the first time this has happened and probably not the last.thanks
Just dropped my children off - on my way to work again - going approx 40-45 mph..... All of a sudden i feel a slight jerk and my car completely shuts off. (key still in on position-so no, my knee did not hit the keys)brakes - electrical - engine - all went out. I coasted to the side of the road. Waited about 10 mins after speaking with my husband - started it back up engine light was on.... I p laced my hazards on and proceeded to continue down the road- at this pointi am approx 15-20 miles from work.
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 wouldhave 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.

This has been the 3rd time this type of event happens, the first time was at a city street driving straight forward at 30-35mph and the engine started stalling, truck completely went off, head lights would go on and off, along with my interior dashboard indicators and media center. Second time, same thing, and the third time while driving at about 35-40mph in a city street and gradually slowing down to10-15mph to make a left the truck completely went off, head lights would go on and off, along with my interior dashboard indicators and media center. It seem like i had turned off the engine completely for like a split second. I though it might've been that i hit the key with my knee, but i pulled over restarted the engine after 15 min, and the problem continued. All the lights would go on and off and the engine power would shut down, when putting the gears, it would sound very forcing. I turned it off again and waited 30 min, restarted the truck again it did the problem for a few seconds and then it was like nothing ever happened.
While driving the suv just shut off. Not a stall but a complete electrical shutdown. All lights, gauges and engine shut off. This happened at approximately 35 mph on a long down grade. The car was brought to a stop in the roadway and upon placement into park, was able to be restarted. This situation nearly caused an accident as approaching cars saw no brake lights and the vehicle needed to come to a complete stop in the roadway to be restarted. Currently this vehicle is at the dealer and no problem can be found. It has been road tested over 75 miles without additional failure. Since this is the second electrical system issue with this vehicle, the safety of my family is a real concern.
I purchased the 2006 commander in june 2010. The first 6 weeks i had the vehicle i loved it. The first incident i had with the vehicle was the service park assist warning came on and stayed on for two days, then went off on its own prior to getting an appointment to have it checked. The next incident happened when i was idling in traffic ata stoplight. Every indicator light on the dash came on and the vehicle started to stall but did not completely stall out. Since that episode i have had issues with the driver side front window and passenger side rear window not functioning properly (at times won't roll up or down from either control). More recently i have had increasing episodes (two to three times per month) of the dash lighting up, headlights dimming and the vehicle losing power (so far always while parked or shifting from park to drive), as well as the service park assist warning and window issues. After hearing of a coworker with a 2007 commander having some of the same issues i began searching the internet and have found numerous complaints of the same issues as mine. I am afraid to drive this vehicle with my children inside in the event that it would stall out on the highway and i would not be able to control it. I spoke with the dealer that sold me the vehicle yesterday and they have agreed to look at it free of charge this morning since there is no warranty on it now, but i still am not sure i want to keep this vehicle any longer. Chrysler needs to recall these vehicles and fix this issue. I used to be a die hard jeep fan...but no longer! i am surprised that i have not found any reports of death or serious injury as a result of these electrical issues with this particular model.
1st my car has been having starting issues. The fuel pump was changed twice and that's not the issue.it seems to be coming from the wiring heading into the fuse panel in the engine. When i move it around it starts sometimes. And also when i put black tape around the wires it seems to correct the issues for weeks at a time. The problem is u never know when its gonna start or not. Now my engine, traction control and esp/bas warning lights are coming on. When that happens the transmission starts going haywire and feels like its only running on 1 gear plus when i reverse it feels like something grinds in the gears. However when those warning lights go off everything seems to go back to normal. Recently all the warning lights came on and the transmission over temp warning came on and my ac stopped blowing cold air and shortly after the car stalled in traffic on the highway. Thank god i was able to restart it but then it felt like the car drove all the way home using 2nd gear only in the automatic transmission. From reading other issues people are having online its obvious this model is having major electrical issues that no one seems to be able to correct. I am a jeep lover but this model has completely made it difficult on me since its my only car and its so unreliable.i don't have the means to replace it right now so this situation has been unfortunate for me

Weown a 2006 jeep commander which was having electrical problems.all of the dashboard lights, air conditioning, interior, and exterior lighting flashed off and on like an electrical surge.this happenedusually once a day.it has been to the local jeep dealership four times for the same problem.theycould not replicate the problem, so they statedthat they coulddo nothing to repair it. This was a dangerous problem because it impairedone's driving ability.they will not write on the service report that we feel it is dangerous.they said that if we felt that way, then we shouldn't drive it.the first two times it was in for the electrical malfunction, they didn't write it up on the service reports because they couldn't replicate it.after the last trip to the repair shop (it is still sitting there) they told us that they will not accept it for service again for the same problem because then it would possibly fall under the lemon law.upon research into the problem, we saw the number of other complaints and even the open engineering review required by the odi.we spoke to a representative at daimler chrysler who was going to put us in contact with a case manager.they need to repair the problem before something more serious happens.we have fortunately not been involved in an accident due to the malfunction, but others have.the field in the bottom portion of the report will only accept numbers, so i will write here that it is an ongoing problem, happening on almost a daily basis.

All the electrical on my dash most the time is lines and flickers, but decides to show up once in a while for a minute or two. My big problem is starting the car. It does this click click sound most the time but then starts once in a while out of the blue. I have bought a new battery and alternator within the last year. It also slams from gear to gear! i have had four different diagnostic tests done by different places & i have been fighting with this for a couple years!
I opened my car driver's door one morning to find two inches of rainwater on the floor near the pedals. Unable to find the source, i put my jeep commander in the shop. I was charged for them fixing the leak that never got fixed. I have had everything checked out numerous times & no one can tell me how water gets in. However inconvenient, i am parking my car in parking garages every time it rains now, given there seems to be no other solution. In addition to the leak, my commander's radio/stereo just stopped working. I can't get it to turn on or work & and am now experiencing electrical problems having to do with window controls. After researching my options i learned that too often these same exact problems appear for many if not most commander owners. (i also reported a major problem with this car stalling in it's own complaint.) these problems need to be analyzed by real professionals & the jeep commander must be recalled.
This vehicle has numerous recalls related to all the problems our jeep has. There is 0 recall for our vin. The vehicle surges when driving up hills. The car won't start sometimes because the shifter control thinks it is in drive when it is in park. The cruise control does not work and the 4 wheel drive kicks in when driving at high speeds and jumps the car.
I'm not getting anywhere with chrysler company recall service.my 2006 jeep commander has a p41 recall on it, it will do all sorts of crazy and unsafe things when driving.examples:the jeep will not start, when starting it the ignition switch clicks, the power is on for everything.jeep told me to put in drive and then back in park, then try to start it. That does not work.driving down interstate the jeep will shut off and the power steering goes out. Once pulled over it needs restarted and then it runs again.it also shifts to 3rd gear when coming off the exit ramp when speeding up to get on interstate, again i have to pull over and turn it off and restart it.this is very unsafe and now i have no transportation.calling chrysler, they said that they will not help or provide a rental car. They say every time i call it's not their fault that the manufacturer of the ignition replacement part is not escalating the order and there's nothing they can do for me.they want us to drive a very unsafe vehicle instead of providing us with a rental car. They also said that they have no time frame of when the part is to be available to the dealers so this issue can be corrected and that they can't just give out rentals to everyone without knowing when the issue will be fixed.i need help, i need a way to work and i need a safe vehicle.
A/c blower only works on high, not any other setting.i've replaced the blower motor resistor on average of 3x per year (@ $32 from dealer).this is what i've been told by auto mechanics and the chrysler dealer service dept. Is wrong with the a/c system....and that "it's a common problem."when the resistor is replaced, the a/c will work properly for a short period of time and then repeat the problem.obviously, there is something causing this part to short/malfunction.after researching this topic (online/internet), i've found many jeep owners have encountered the exact same problem.the problem is not the blower motor resistor, it is the guage of wiring chrysler has used to install the system.the wiring can not handle the amps running through it, and the connection/wiring actually melts.this is the case with my vehicle, the connection at the blower resistor is melted.the system has a 40amp fuse, which does not blow before the wiring melts???.....this is a fire hazard.chrysler should have done a recall on this.i've opened a case with chrysler, and so far have gotten nowhere with them.....they just want me to take vehicle into dealer so they can charge me there outrageous rates for looking at the problem, then (according to the discussion threads online) they'll suggest i replace the whole blower unit/system for about $800.the only problem is the guage of the wiring is to small for the amps running the system, and the wiring needs to be replaced.i've heard there is a replacement wiring harness available, but when i asked chrysler about this part they claimed to know nothing about it.

I purchased the vehicle in 2010 and within a month some electrical issues were intermittently occurring. The dealer said the ignition had to be replaced and did so. These problems seemed to continue thought not often. The symptoms are as follows-first the lights start flickering and then go out. All of the dash components go out including the speedometer, fuel gage, radio etc. The ac fan also turned off. This condition did not stop the vehicle from running it just turned off the electrical componentsthere was however a problem with stalling, a separate issue from the electrical issue., a few times while in the vehicle was stopped it would stall when stopping or starting off again. This was true in reverse and forward. I was never really worried about safety until last night when the lights went out while driving on a dark curvy country road. It was only for a few seconds but it was terrifying. This issue needs to be dealt with.in 2015 there were several recalls issued and they seemed to be related to the problems i was having. I had all of the recall notices dealt with. The software upgrades and the ignition replacement. This didn't solve the problem. In fact it
I have just purchased this used 2006 jeep commander 1 week ago. The vehicle is in great condition, no previous accidents, no engine lights/error codes. On the 2nd day of owning the jeep i experienced my first stall, and since then 4 more stalls. There is no engine lights, error codes, etc. The vehicle seems to be 100% okay, however the vehicle has just shut off 4 times losing brakes, steering, lights, etc - whether i am moving or at a stop. At first i thought "i must have bought a lemon" but i have been reading through several forums and blogs that there are 100's if not 1,000's of people who are experiencing the same issue with their 5.7l hemi commander, and some of the blogs date back to 2006 when these vehicles were brand new with less than a thousand miles on them. One person actually suffered an accident due to this electrical issue - losing control of steering and brakes. Because their is no engine codes or lights dealerships are not assessing the issue at all or are just throwing parts at it hoping it is fixed and charging the customer a boat load of money. Several people have identified that the issue potentially resides in the pcm and the ignition coils, some say that the coils put of an em interference that is disrupting the pcm. Regardless - chrysler needs to get this fixed so no one else gets hurt, or killed.
Was driving down the road going about 50 mph when the car just shut off!!!! took it in and the dealer couldn't find anything wrongwe are taking it into the dealer tomorrow.

This is in response to the recall for the ignition switch on my 2006 jeep commander. My vehicle has had the ignition switch replaced at the dealership but you should know that the replacement does not cure the problems that it was meant to fix. The work was completed at 9:30am and the next time i drove that day,it didthe same exact shutdown as it did before (with all lights on the dash flashing).the stalling and shutdown does not occur because of hitting the key with your leg as i am only 5'4" and my leg doesn't touch the ignition. The shutdown occurs because of a short somewhere inside the ignition. It occurs randomly and sometimes can be stopped by lightly turning the key to the left. I have also found that the shutdown occurs at extreme frequency when driving in heavy rain or extremely slushy roads, which tells me that somewhere, something is getting wet and shorting the vehicle out. It is very hard to get the lights to stop flashing in this type of weather and i have had to pull over a couple times because of the danger of stalling in traffic. I am stuck with this dangerous vehicle because of my financial situation and have fought for something to be done about it by the dealer starting 20 days after i bought it but of course nothing was done until the government got involved and sadly it still hasn't cured the problem.i hope you receive more complaints and make the dealership correct the problem the right way.thank you for your time,[xxx]'information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).'

This vehicle was recalled for the ignition switch experiencing an unintended change in ignition switch position and because the ignition switch was loose made it difficult at times to start and remain running. The vehicle was taken in for recall work and was supposedly fixed, however upon picking it up the vehicle was difficult to start and the dealership stated it was because of the new ignition system and that you had to press and turn the key just right for it to start. This condition only worsened the next week and eventually the car would not start at all.when the vehicle was towed to the dealership they started the starter and the wiring to the starter was fried and that it had nothing to do with the ignition replacement and said it would cost over $800.00 to repair!!!

We took it into our local dealership where they informed us that the problem was with the shifter module and that it had to be replaced. Well $2500 later and missing parts we requested to keep our vehicle was back in our possession with the problem still happening. Not as severe as what it had been prior to sending it in, however still happening. This evening my husband was driving home from work when this happened again.

I purchased my 2006 jeep commander in oct. 2005 from mccune chrysler jeep in national city, ca.initially, i started noticing my brakes shimmying as i came to a stop.i reported to my dealership a few times but no good came out of it.then, last thursday, sept. 13, i noticed my dashboard lights (electrical system, brakes and transmission lights) flashing on and off as i accelerated from a stop and headed uphill.it felt as though the jeep wanted to stop and go at the same time.i reported it to my dealership and brought in the vehicle the next week.the dealership quoted me $190 to analyze it (since my jeep was about 8,000 miles beyond the warranty period).then, they told me that it would cost me over $400 to repair the vehicle even though they did not know what was wrong with it.i began to research the internet about recalls on this make and model and found that chrysler had issued a recall on friday, sept. 14, 2007.i printed the article and brought it to my service rep at mccune.the rep insisted that it was not my problem and that his dealership had not heard of a recall on my make and model.so, i called chrysler's customer service department in oak ridge, tn.the representatives there insisted that there was no recall.frustrated, i accepted the dealerships offer to repair my vehicle.they quoted me a $100 deductible to place the vehicle under warranty.as i drove off, the same thing happened all over again.i called the service advisor and explained what had happened.he insisted that he test drove the vehicle and the lights never came on.i didn't believe him.i feel that he mislead me and that his dealership never repaired my vehicle.i will bring my vehicle back to mccune monday morning (9/24/07) and i will see what will happen.i paid for a rental vehicle last week (over $100 and the dealership never offered to cover my expenses.i am so frustrated.
I have a 2006 jeep commander 4.7. Last month after coming home from another state, the car parked for several days while i was out of town it would not crank when i went to start it... Just the clicking sound. My boyfriend jumped it and it overheated his cable. Then it happened after sitting just overnight, same scenario. I did not leave anything on like lights, etc. I had the battery checked and it was fine. It began to happen more frequently (several nights in a row). Took it into a dealer and he replaced a few parts but nothing changed. Then the battery started draining after sitting for 15 minutes with the ignition off. Took it to a friend who's an auto mechanic, he said something was discharging from somewhere.

During regular drive of the car, i experienced major electrical shut down. It does not happen very often. I noticed that is happening in summer time more often than in winter time. I noticed it for a first time 2 years ago and reported to local service dealer. They told me to keep an eye on it and to tell them if i notice any trend. Except for summer/winter, i couldn't notice any other trend. Last summer it was happening quite often and after bringing it to the service, they couldn't find cause of the problem. I think they performed some recall firmware update (08v-203 i think) but i still have same electrical problem. I don't have engine stall however. Last night (july 3rd 2009) it happen to me for the first time during night and i just realized how serious safety issue it actually is. While driving home with my family, everything in the car (headlights, ac , stereo (except lcd display) all lights on the dashboard (except p r n d gear indication)) went off for a few seconds and came back on. It happened 15-20 times in 30 minutes time frame. At one point after ~10th interruption, check engine light came on (error code u1411).so, all lights disappeared while driving at night putting me and my family at risk of an serious accident. I don't have confidence in this car any more unless there is a permanent fix for this problem.

All the light on my dash board have been flickering on and off for the past two months. It does not seem to affect my engine however it will completely take all gauges to zero while i am driving. I drove it last night and when it happened it killed my all my lights. I can hear a clicking sound when the flickering happens. It doesn't click continuously but enough to make me very uneasy.
I was driving;the dashboard lit up and the air bag sign said air bags disengaged. Then the car shut off. I restarted it after several attempts. I want to know when are you going to get this problem fixed. I was fortunate in that i was driving slowly in town. But it has shut off a number of times. I keep only the key in the ignition and it has still done that. To me i think if i am driving on the interstate or some other high volume and high speed area and this occurs again causing an accident you will be the ones to blame.

Electrical issue that is causing all dashboard lights to flicker on and off, heat/air goes on and off, audio center goes on and off all electrical functions go no and off. Dealership blamed my remote starter(which they. Installed) but turned out it wasn't and they have no idea what it is. Say they can't determine what it is unless it is happening when i bring it in. The interior door opening casing crumbles. Already had drivers door fixed because i couldn't open door from inside and was told all doors would eventually have to be done. Doors freeze due to poor drainage. Water collects inside door frame and running board, freezing all doors. If not for the remote starter, wouldn't be able to get in the car at all.

If you are still unable to get relief, contact the nhtsa. Although you can skip the first two steps and contact nhtsa immediately, it is usually better to contact the service manager and manufacturer first -- since most problems are solved at those levels. You can contact the nhtsa by telephone at 888-327-4236 or by mail at 1200 new jersey avenue, se, west building, washington, d.c. 20590. Or fill out a form at the nhtsa's interactive website at www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov.yet, nothing is being done.there is no remedy and no one is making chrysler give another solution.exactly how long does the manufacturer have to comply?i think over 3 months is plenty of time.

This problem happens randomly. All dash lights come on and off, speedometer and tach goes to zero and air bag, abs and stabillty control warning comes on and stays lit till i restart engine and multiple error codes. It seems to be getting worse. Called dealer and they said they do not have he parts to fix the recall as of yet.
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!
I hit the key with my knee and the car turned off.i was on route 50 in maryland.luckily i was going fast enough, approximately 60 mph, to pull the car off the highway to a safe spot.at first i thought there was an issue with the car.i was able to see that the key, in the ignition had been pushed to the off position.i was able to restart the car without issue.i just learned of the concern and i though it important to report this.

The car went into a neutral position while driving. It has done it about 5 or 6 time in the past couple of months while going down the road.

I filed a previous complaint regarding my 2006 jeep commander 5.7 l hemi regarding the engine light coming on and the hesitation you get when you are driving.i was told that the pcm sensor needed replaced and it has been but the problem is still there.we have had the o2 sensor replaced twice, the gas filter replaced, transmission fluid and filter changed, my jeep has been in the shop many times for this same problem and they cannot duplicate the problem on some visits.this is a huge safety concern if my jeep were to stall from hesitation this could cause a deadly accident.i have no idea where to go from here but i will keep on going until i get someone to listen and correct this problem or take these vehicles off the road.
2006 jeep commander electrical system recall 13v175000nhtsa:action number: n/aservice bulletin number: 13v175000 i had my commander taken to the local jeep dealer to perform the recall. After the recall was performed my car would not shift into 4lo, and i got a service light. I returned my car to the dealer twice more to redo the recall. My 4lo would work for a few days then it would again not work and the service light would return. My dealer then ordered a transfer case shift actuator under warranty, and assured me this would fix the problem. After the actuator was installed, i had no problems for about 2 months. I really thought it was fixed for good. Then, the problem returned. I have since talked to others who have had this recall done, and they also complain about the loss of 4lo, and a service light afterward. These problems were non existent prior to the recall in most cases. I believe this recall should be looked at, and recalled again to fix this recall induced problem.
Ignition switch recall which was issued on my jeep commander was addressed and ultimately an appointment was made upon availability. However, since the recall, the jeep will not function normally upon initial start up attempt progressively into more attempts thereafter. Connection between key switch and cylinder not responding to connection, lack thereof. This occurred at first seldom to more and more random periodic "no signal, no start". Recalls are supposed to fix the initial severe problem, correct? not result into another problem that wasn't present before, right? found my time fruitless in getting clarity of this issue resolved from dealer. What can i do? what should be done? as the consumer we will feel the job done wasn't done correctly. Fact is there were not any start up issues prior to the recall addressed and ignition switch replaced/fixed?

My vehicle stalls and cuts off when stopped at stop signs and traffic lights. The engine also shakes and acts as if it wants to die while driving. I took my vehicle in for recalls after i left the service center it once again cut off at the first stop light i came to.
The car jumps and then stalls when it is idling in reverse or drive. It also will accelerate on its own and the brakes are hard to press. This happens when the lighting bolt appears and the anti side lights on the dash, then the care either doesn't respond to pressing the gas and is harder to press the brakes. I have to restart the car for it to work. This all began after recalls being updated, it has been diagnosed as my power train control modual and that it has been recalled in other vehicles for the same reasons but there is no recall attached to my vin according to chrysler. Ive done research online and numerous other jeep commanders and other jeep modules made around the same time are having the same issue. The problem is on going and has been for over a year but has gotten much worse after fixing of recalls a few months ago. The date below is estimate of when the recall was fixed.
The interior electrical lighting systems often goes out while driving in below freezing temperatures. This includes all speedometer, tachometer, and dash lights for all controls. This has been a problem since i purchased the vehicle new in february 2007. After five years, the led lights illuminating the switches for the fan speed, temperature control, and heated seats. I reported this under warranty but now i am told i am responsible for repair. The dealership cannot find the electrical fault. The led switch bulbs cannot simply be replaced as the entire unit for each control must be replaced.the engine was making a pinging sound and the dealership diagnosed it wrong 3 times.this should have been repaired under warranty when first reported. Many months later after warranty lapsed the dealership's corrective fix was replacing one side of the engine's hydraulic lifters.this made the problem a bit better but did not resolve it.

I have had my 2006 jeep commander for a year and in that time period i have had a consistent problem. When i am driving the vehicle i will randomly lose power to the instrument panel,windows , windshield wipers and almost everything electrical. The engine will continue to run but if it happens at night i lose interior lights dash lights i can't see how fast i am going due to the panel not working. I have had it to the mechanic and he insists it has something to do with the ignition switch. I know a recall has been issued for a separate ignition problem but after reading online and seeing many other reports just like mine i,believe there is another issue to be handled. This problem is also making it impossible to get the vehicle inspected because when it acts up it cause the check engine light to come on and has to be reset. Then before all sensors have reset it occurs again. I have spent a small fortune is gas trying to get lucky to be able to pass inspection.

When we first got the car it was working like any normal car, however, after less than a month we started to notice a lot of change. The first problem we started to see was the whole screen turned off we are able to play music but only radio station that was saved. We are unable to tune/seek to a new radio station. Then we started to notice during the rainy season that water would enter into our car. After many tries of solving this issue, it is still happening to our car. The section where the petals are always wet and we have closed the sunroof and the cover but, nothing seems to work. Now today the check engine turn on and also the oil in the dashboard behind the steering wheel. We are worried about the safety of the car and hope to see changes soon from you. Thank you for reading the issue we constantly face.

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.
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.
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.

I have a 2006 jeep commander that i bought 2 months ago. It has been one problem after another. First of all the first day it rained the whole entire cab was soaked, come to find out that there is a problem with the sunroof drainage of these jeeps. The drain lines don't stay connected to the floor and when that occurs the carpet get drenched. I had to pull all of the carpet out of the jeep because of mold concerns. Secondly shortly thereafter the check engine light came on the first time i drove the jeep. Took it too a mechanic and the code showed a crank sensor and a cam sensor. Got both of those replaced and it required a driveshaft repair kit. Another day later the check engine light went off again. The truck started to shake and shimmy so we had to pull over on the side of a highway because it wasn't safe. Took it into another mechanic that was closer to where i was having the issues and they put another set of crank and cam sensors in again. Supposingly i was good to go but just 2 days later the check engine light came back on.went back to another mechanic that was close in proximity to where i was having trouble in which the truck started to shake and shimmy again. This mechanic found a short to the ground in altanater unit which required a new altanater because the other one wasn't pulling enough voltage. Today (sept 5th)went to start the truck and it stalled again and when i restarted it the check engine light was back on. I have spent well over $2000 on this situation and it still isn't fixed. I have read a lot of other customer complaints about this model as well as others who are having the same problem. There should be a recall on this from chrysler to fix whatever issues these cars are having. They have been getting away with this crap way too long now. Going down the freeway 70 plus miles an hour and all of a sudden the check engine light comes on.

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.

This is an update of my previous post.my 2006 3.7 liter commander 4x4 has been at the dealer since monday the 7th.when i took it in it had been stalling now and then, the engine light was on and the display "service park assist" had came on the day before i took it in.on the way to the dealer, it shut down no breaks, steering, nothing.the dealer tested it and said it gave them a code u1400 which was the tcm module. They replaced it and told me to come and get it on june 9th.i picked it up and on the way home, going up a slight incline about a block fro the dealer, it shut down again, and started rolling backward down the hill, and all i could do was pull the emergency break and pray that it still worked, it did.after three tries, i got it started and took it back to the dealer, who put a computer on it as soon as i got there, they told me i would have to get a ride home, and the next day called and said it needed ecm module, they also told me that they contacted chrysler and they had a 1000 piece backlog on them.i asked them what i should do for transport, and they told me i should call chrysler because the car was unsafe to drive.they also told me that there had been a major recall on the 2006 4.7 liter commander for the same problem, but not the 3.7 models.the dealership has been great, but chrysler has been unreal to deal with, they simply do not care about the customer, and have been no help.i called the dealer today to let them know that chrysler told me the part would be ready for delivery on july 18th, but my guess is that if there's 1000 backordered, it will be some time before i will get mine.i guess we will see.

P41 recall.before recall my 2006 jeep commander turned off on its own numerous times. This resulted in engine shut down, no electrical system, etc. I have contacted chrysler several times. I get the same response, part not available. Why?i am told the supplier does not have part. Why not?. This is an old recall, however chrysler is repairing or buying back newer models of vehicles due to faulty design. 2006 jeep commander recall is just as serious as newer recalls. The faulty ignition switch results in entire shut down of jeep, including air bags.i was told to adjust seat so that knee does not make contact with keys in ignition. What?i suggest thatvehicles with faulty ignition switch be a part of the chrysler buy back or repair immediately. Also, to avoidfurther serious accidents and possible death resulting form faulty ignition switch.

My jeep commander started having trouble skipping. There was a recall on the control module and the fix determined by chrysler was to re-program it. I took it in to have the recall performed and the transmission check afterwards. When i arrived to pick it up, the dealership said the technician was out sick so all they could do was the recall. The car drove worse after i started home and failed to get transition between gears. I was forced to stop at the closest transmission shop. Their certified technician diagnosed that the transmission was bad. So, i had them they replaced it. When they went to test drive it, apparently the new transmission also failed due to the control module. They took it to the dealership and had a new control module installed. After repairing the new transmission, i was charged $4000. Whatever the recall "fix" for the control module was, it clearly was the cause for the transmission's destruction. The other recall for the ignition could not be done because chrysler has no manufactured part to fix it. I sold the commander the next day. I needed reliable transportation.the consumer stated she started having problems with the starter.updated 04/06/15

October, 2013 received notification that there was a safety recall on my 2006 jeep commander. (as i have 6children, this was a priority to have fixed) i brought my jeep into the dealership to have the n23 safety recall performed. Come january, 2014 i attempt to activate my 4 wheel low and i get a service light stating "service 4wd". I contact the dealership who had performed the recall and bring it in to be looked at. They run a diagnosis and determine the truck has an internal short in the transfer case. The service tech advised me it is related to the recall but he can not do anything at the dealer level. I need to call chrysler customer service who tells me they will not be doing anything to help. Upon a little research (jeep forums) it seems there are many (many) others with the same issues. I am sure i am not the only one to call jeep with this issue and if you clear the codes the 4 wheel low engages so it is not a short. I believe chrysler jeep should look into what was performed with the n23 recall and determine how it effected the 4 wheel low on these vehicles. Then reprogram them to work, as they were, at no cost to the owner. Since this was a safety recall i felt i had no option but to have the recall performed on my vehicle now i have a faulty vehicle.dealer tells me they need to update 4 wheel drive but cant do it because it is not in the recall this has gone on for way 2 long . I am going to file a complaint with the better business and i ask everyone with this same problem doit also please complain somewhere so something can be done.

My jeepupon being on the highway and in the right lane suddenly slowed down to the point of stalling and i had to bring the car to the side of the road and began shutting it off when coincidently the the light went on in the roof of the car and my headlight dimmed. I called the jeep place for an oil change and they diagnoised the car and did a recall on the ignition switch and told me the powertrain transfer case is bad and thermostat leaking from the housing and 4 wheel drive failed. I have never used the 4 wheel drive as i recently purchased the car at the end of april and own it for just 7 months. They said it will cost me over $750.00 dollars to be fixed. I called chrysler and they said my vehicle is not included however on your web site nhtsa campain# 13v175000 seems to apply to my diagnoised problems. I love my car but this is a defect in manufacturing and not something that i have done. The previous owner had this car constantly maintained at executive jeep in north haven ct. I want my car fixed at chrysler's cost notmine. I drive my car with my grandchildren in it and now feel it is unsafe.. Please help me.

While driving al dash lights will light up and heat will shut off.. Come back on and happens again. There's no certain times it happens wheneve it wants to between 1-15 times a day driving and parked. Sunroof leaks through tubes into passenger side floor board and freezes windshield if temp is low. Transmission overheated warning comes on and transmission/ and or fluid is fine. Have had all issues checked and they can not find the problem! also need is reading code that suddenly my key isn't registered since this has been happening and my auto start won't work because of the key not being linked to my car anymore. This is unsafe and eventually will stop me from being able to drive my car. The lights all come on and then go off while driving on any street any speed or even parked. Heat shuts off while lights are on and comes back on after they shut off.
Bought 2006 commander in 2009,every month it either shuts down while driving or will not start at all, i have replaced the starter, battery,fuses,and switches at my own expense,chrysler will do nothing, i don't know what to do..there are no recalls for v-6 commmanders.

In may, 2013 i received recall, n23. Soon after i had the recall applied. On the first attempt to use the 4 wheel drive feature it failed. I went to another dealer who disconnected the transfer case, checked the connections and voltages and found them ok. They reconnected the transfer case and reported it operational. A few weeks later, while traveling, i received another warning that the transfer case failed. I went to a local jeep dealer who diagnosed the problem as needing an actuator.when i returned home i went to the dealer that applied the original recall which was a software update. After they cleared the error codes they said they found a broken connector on the actuator. I assume all the manual handling of the actuator probably caused the connector to brake. I was told that the actuator had to be replaced but was on backorder.i have paperwork that indicates that the original problem found was a cracked circuit board in the actuator. How can a software update fix a cracked circuit board? could that be why there are no new actuators available? were they pulled off the market?there are many jeep owners that i am in contact with that are having the same problem as i am and are being told the same thing by chrysler that i am: that the recall did not cause the damage to the actuator. Something needs to be done to resolve this problem. Someone outside of chrysler and the owners needs to investigate to get to the bottom.
Stalling problems while driving. This issue has been going on for over a year now, i was told by jeep to get p41 recall repaired and possibly fix the problem.i've had p41 done and the same problem keeps happening.everything just completely shuts down and i am unable to steer and have to restart the engine.this has happened to me numerous of times including driving on the freeway.i've contacted jeep customer service, i was told i was the only one they know of regarding this issue which is not true.another problem is dashboard lights will light up on and off while driving.all light indicators will stay on for period of time until car is restarted again.

My vehicle died in the middle of me driving without warning. I was on a main roadturning into a mcdonald's when my car died. I was going about 20 when my car died.my steering locked up, couldn't brake or accelerate, and had to pull over and turn my car off to and back on to get it running again. Once i got my car started again the idle kept pulsating above one thousand rpm and would have to keep it in neutral at a stop so it would lurk forward.
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?

I purchased my jeep commander on february 12, 2014. A week after i purchased it my check light came on so i took it back to the dealership. It was for my catalytic converter. The people in the garage stated it was just a sensor and not to worry about it i told them to fix it while it was still covered under my warranty. They wouldn't. The next day all of the dome lights and dashboard lights in my truck started flickering while driving down the road. (still does it to this day). Soon after my brakes went out on me while driving down the road with my kids so i had to get the calipers and everything changed. Next it was the windows they all stopped working. The end of january 2015, while driving down the road again with my children, all of the lug nuts and bolts fell off of my tire rear passenger side tire. I ended up calling the tow truck and took it back to the dealership where i bought it. $2500 and two weeks later i get my truck back, have it for a day & it starts jerking on my way to work. They fixed everything that had to do with my tires and suspension. They also inform me i need my catalytic converter changed after they told me not to worry about it it's just the sensor acting funny. (it could've been fixed when i asked them to do it while it was covered under my warranty) now my lights start flashing my wheel speed sensors aren't working and is messing with my abs system and traction. They just tell me to shut the traction off while i'm driving it should fix the problem. I end up taking it back in the shop. A month later i'm driving home from work and my serpentine belt busts and i lose control of my truck. Another $500 dollar job. Present day, my truck is back in the shop for a routine brakes and rotors fix and they call and say i need my outer tirods fixed and rear axle something. I've put more money into this truck than i've paid for it in the past year.

While driving the vehicle on a slippery road during a snowfall, my wife observed all of the indicator lights on the dashboard light up simultaneously. Shortly thereafter, the engine shut off, causing a loss of power steering and consequently a loss of control of the vehicle on the slippery roadway. As a result, the vehicle slid into a highway maintenance marker along the shoulder of the road, causing minor damage to the license plate holder and bumper of the vehicle. Our concern is that this incident is apparently due to a defective ignition switch, which is the subject of a current recall (14v-438) issued by the manufacturer on 9/3/14. However, the manufacturer has not provided a remedy for this defect, citing the unavailability of repair parts, and as of this morning the manufacturer has no idea as to when these repair parts will be available. In the meantime, the phenomenon of the dashboard indicators suddenly and spontaneously illuminating while driving continues to recur rather frequently, and we are afraid that a recurrence of the engine shutoff and loss of power steering and brake assist will also recur, perhaps at a time and location where a much more serious crash will result.
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.

I was slowly pulling through a stop light (stop and go traffic up to it). Jeep suddenly lost power of all kinds - stalled engine, no emergency flashers, no radio, nothing. Tried to turn key & restart it a # of times but it was dead. Ambulance drove by, stopped & pushed me out of the road. As they were pushing me, electrical came back on. So i tried to turn key again and car started. **i am pretty confident that my knee did not touch the key- i am too short for that and also the car would not restart once stalled- i turned key many times to tr and get out of the road and car remained dead/powerless. All electrical was off. Once car came back on, radio stations no longer programmed, etc. Much like the battery had died.** plz note, mileage is estimated- i need to go look inside car.

The gear indicator has the prnd and it indicates what gear you are in. When you try to drive the car it indicates that it is in all gears. When it does this it stumbles really badly. You have to put it back to drive to drive normal. It can happen about 3 times a day. Right after it happens the check engine light comes on for about 3 days. I have searched online and at least 50 other people with a 2006/2007 jeep commander have the same problem. Some people say it happens to them (all gears light up) while they are driving. This causes their vehicle to not accelerate or "jerk" back and forth. They have to pull over and start the car again and the check engine lights up. It doesn't matter if i warm it up for over 10 minutes it will still do it when i put it on reverse or drive. I am worried it will get worse and happen like the other people online when i'm driving or on the freeway. Online many people write about this problem with their 2006/2007 jeep commander. Many don't know what it is.
I purchased this vehicle 2/15/14 three weeks later while driving on highway the gauges just came on and kept flashing it continued for the duration of my drive. Once i got to work and put it in park and turn it off and restarted it nothing happened. So 8.5 to 9 hrs later back on the highway it does it again this time just flashed 3 times. It was taking to a shop per finance company to which the mechanic kept for almost 2 weeks. The mechanic stated he could not find anything wrong with it. He needed to see it happen. So i took it back home the first week nothing happened. Second week nothing that third week it happened again this time while on highway on the way to work my speed dropped from 60 to 5 in less than a second. I pulled over and sat for 2 to 3 minutes an proceeded on with my cell phone ready to snap a picture if it happened again and low and be hold it does it again and this time it was continues until i turned off the vehicle once again it was taken to the shop with the proof he needed and again he stated he could not find anything wrong so he took it to jeep chrysler and had them reset everything and gave it back to me. For the next month nothing happened. But the following month once again the problem starts again. But this time it completely knocked out my radio. The finance company want help and i don't know what to do. Today is the 25th of july but two or three days ago there was a recall on 2006-2007 jeep commanders for faulty ignition switches.

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.

While attempting to get on the highway the jeep lost power at approximately 35mph from the on ramp on to the right lane of the freeway.all the lights shut off, all the gauges shut down, and the vehicle began to slow down.it lasted approximately 4-5 seconds, and after stepping on the accelerator, the jeep re-engaged and was able to be driven to a safe destination.the jeep is under recall p41 for ignition switch issues, which may or may not be causing the issues, but the parts are not available from chrysler.the parts have not been manufactured and/or distributed.it is possible the vehicle has a bad control module.the recall for faulty control modules was issued sept. 21, 2014 but this make and model was not covered in that recall ... Although it seems likely it is having similar issues.
I purchased this vehichle in aug of 2012 and have been having electrical issues that have caused my vehichle to shut of while driving. I have also had issues with starting because the electrical system is failing.i have researched this issue and there are already many complaints on this vehichle with the same issues i'm having. I am very disappointed in this vehichle after spending the money to purchase it with 44,000 miles on it and have had nothing but issues with the electrical system, dash lights, and battery.
My wife's jeep completely shut down while going 45 miles anhour and she went off of the road. This happened less than a month after we took it to the jeep dealership to have fixed. They said as im sure every one who has put in an apparent useless complaint that " no errors are coming up and there doesn't seem to be a problem. " what bothers me the most about this is that jeep has not issued any statement after the countless complaints keep filing in. Just because no error message is coming up when it is plugged in doesn't mean these hundreds of jeep commander owners are lying about what is happening. Ihave another appointment tomorrow. This exercise is getting old . It should not have to take a death from some one driving these vehicles to have chrysler do something about this . I have read many of these complaints that other concerned drivers have put in.apparently this site doesn't get chrslers attention .

My jeep acts as if i turned the ignition off while going down the road.today it did it again going down the highway at 65-70 mph.i have no additional keys on the key chain.my seat is slid back and there was no contact with my knee and the ignition switch.i have a 2006 jeep commander and have complained about this since 2007.there is a current recall(p41 / nhtsa 14v-438), that i was finally notified about by my dealera year ago but there are still no parts available to fix the problem.how long should a known safety issue be allowed to go on without a fix.should we wait for someone to get into an accident and die?

The problem started today out of the blue on a cold wet day.i drove home from work at 7am in the rain and parked.at 2pm i tried to start the vehicle and it wouldn't start.it would just stall.after several attempts at starting it, it would just stall.then it wouldn't start at all so i let it sit for a while.when i went to start it again, it would start but all the lights were flashing, the radio was going on and off, the windshield wipers would go and stop.i rented a code reader that read u1411, no connection to the problem so i cleared the code and it fixed the problem for about an hour.now it doesn't fix it.jeep says they don't know unless i take it in for a diagnostic. But i looked online and found lots and lots of jeep owners having the exact same complaint.all of their complaints started the same way, in the rain and without warning and they were all fixed the same way, replacing the ignition switch.it appears to me that there is a problem but jeep isn't addressing the problem.i don't think i should have to go pay them to diagnose and fix a problem that they already know about, but won't admit!
This problem has been occurring since 2010. It first happened to my wife as she drove on i-75 the car just turned off on her and almost got rear ended by a car that was behind her. It has occurred at least 7 times since and recently much more than before where the same thing happens the car turns off and you lose complete control of everything,brakes ,steering etc the car just floats for about two blocks and you are helpless until it stops. My wife contacted chrysler this last time to complain about the issue and was told that our car was under investigation ,that recalls were being done in september but that we would have to pay for the repairs and then get reimbursed .i personally don't think the consumer should pay for anything much less something that has already been discovered to be a manufacturing flaw.

There is a serious electrical problem with the suv which started within. The dealers looked at it, i paid for computer diagnostics and still nothing. Besides all the lights flashing on and off, the speedometer fluctuating, actually all the instruments going on and off while i am driving; also, the temperature control panel does not light up when the headlights are on. I have never had an automobile with all these electrical problems that no one can fix. Please recall this vehicle before someone dies. I try not to drive long distances alone because of this problem.

While raining water drains into vehicle from sunroof causing electrical problems. Lights constantly flickering, dashboard lights constantly turning on and off, interior water damage, rusting inside components. This incident happens constantly forcing me to keep headlights on high beam at all times while the car is stationary as well as in motion on streets as well as highways. This problem causes unnecessary problems being that while the car is going through this the turning signals, wiper blades, air conditioning turn off and on. Even though my car was serviced under warranty for rear seatbelts the belts are constantly jamming keeping my children captive and at some points it will not successfully latch.

These things that are happening with my car is filed from the national highway traffic safety administration with recall report electrical system, electrical system: ignition: switch and rear seat belts. My car keeps on shutting off. I have had myself and my children in the car when this has happened. I saved us too many times. There has been timeswhen my car shut down and i lost breaks and steering. There was multi times when i am driving and all of my lights start going crazy. Now i have a problem that i tried starting my car and the lights go on but my ignition will not turn on the car. Another phone call was made to the corporate office and the dealership to complain again. We where told that theyare still waiting for the parts to come in they are on back order.

So i don't know what else to do i need to work and transport my children toand fromdifferent school/sports activities. If something happens to me or my family it will lie on you and your company. Enough is enough i am scared for my life and my children please help me!!!!!
Re: ignition switch recall (p41): i am now going on 2 years with a faulty iginition switch that has been recalled. When i last contacted the local dealership (larry h miller jeep, riverdale, utah) i was informed they do have the parts for the recall, but they "do not have the specific part" for my jeep. How long is it reasonable to wait for a recall to be dealt with? i just want my jeep fixed and i grow tired of larry miller auto group sending me mailings saying they will buy back my jeep and put me in a new car. How long must one wait for a recall to be fixed?
Seat belt warning chime continually sounds when front driver or passenger seat belts are latched, the seats are occupied, and the vehicle is in motion.
My jeep commander has a recall, i took it in right away and was told part not available. It has been over a year and still not fixed. The dealership says no parts in yet and its been over one year. One year and i have made multiple trips and calls to the rio vista california chrysler dealership and their response is that chrysler is to send me a letter when the part is available.

There is a serious electrical problem with the suv which started within . The dealers looked at it, i paid for computer diagnostics and still nothing. Besides all the lights flashing on and off, the speedometer fluctuating, actually all the instruments going on and off while i am driving; also, the temperature control panel does not light up when the headlights are on. I have never had an automobile with all these electrical problems that no one can fix. Please recall this vehicle before someone dies. I try not to drive long distances alone because of this problem. All this and more has been going on with the vehicle since i bought it in 2010. I've been given the same answer from many dealerships and auto zones with their computer diagnostic readings. Nothings wrong with your vehicle. I'm tired and want out of this thing. Breaks work and don't work too. To me its a lemon i got stuck with.

Well ... ?you're never going to believe to this?about 20 minutes ago i was driving sheri and myselfback home from an appointmentand went to pull out of a tee junction-, rossway road and the road was wet, i dabbed the throttle and pulled out gently, unfortunately a cadillac came over the brow of the hill traveling fast and stamped on the gas to accelerate out of the way- nope he refused to move, i had my foot on the gas, flat to the floor- zero just min power, after what seemed like 1seconds it picked up- full throttle ? went sideways spinning the tires and was at that point on the shoulder- it then left off up the road like a drag car- 5000+rpm.now the scary bit, such a maneuver should have turned the esp light on at least, nothing, i've got to tell you at this point i am done with this thing.i just called chris xxx at the dealership and he says that he can?t do anything for me except call dcc and a lawyer- he needs to hear from them what to do.but he says as there are no error codes stored he will have no data to work with anyway. I?m on hold with dcc now and i?m on hold waiting to talk to the next dept? chief , they will do nothing for me i?m sure.i've copied mr. Martin lee, who is my attorney on this message and i'm going to wait to see what he says?please add this to my file, thanks- another emergency has been narrowly avoided...while driving 54 mph with the cruise control on the vehicle's headlight went out and the vehicle stalled.the consumer turn the key to the off position then back to on and the vehicle started right up.the vehicle was taken to the dealer but the found nothing wrong.updated 05/02/06.

There is actually a recall on the ignition switch for my vehicle, p41/nhtsa 14v-438.i have tried several times calling chrysler's group recall assistance center at 800-853-1403 and get automated response that part is not available. Several times over the last few years, mainly while using the cruise control, my knee has hit the switch and the vehicle shuts off. Most times i have been able to start back up right away. However, recently i lost all power and another vehicle was rapidly approaching me from behind and it wouldn't restart, i had to quickly pull off to the side, just narrowly avoiding getting rear ended on the interstate. Now, i have a 15 year old that is starting to drive and it scares me to have my child drive this vehicle. Is there anything you can do to expedite chrysler fixing this problem or possibly buy back this vehicle as it is becoming increasingly unsafe to drive. Please let me know and thank you for your time.

We started the vehicle and as we started to accelerate the lights in the dashboard and stereo started to flicker and as we went down the road for about 2 minutes it kept doing it not sure if the main front lights turned off also because it was daytime but now i'm scared of driving my vehicle at night time.
My car was turning off when driving. I had the ignition switch replaced and paid for it. I received a recall notice in september 2014 that the ignition switch was recalled. I sent in my receipt and paperwork from the chrysler dealership that fixed my jeep on 9/22/2014. It says you will be reimbursed within 60 days. They received my receipt and told me the part was on back order. I said it doesn't matter because my jeep was fixed on 11/15/2012. It has been over 6 months and i still have not received my $108.30 refund. This part is still not available and it has been over 6 months, since my car was repaired and i proved it with my receipt i want my money refunded.
I wrote about this problem several times and realize others also have similar problems.when will chrysler be forced to recall and fix the problem.does someone have to die first for this to be considered serious? there is a serious electrical problem with the suv which started within 3 yrs of having the truck.the dealers looked at it, i paid for computer diagnostics and still nothing.besides all the lights flashing on and off, the speedometer fluctuating, actually all the instruments going on and off while i am driving; also, the temperature control panel does not light up when the headlights are on.i have never had an automobile with all these electrical problems that no one can fix.please recall this vehicle before someone dies.i try not to drive long distances alone because of this problem.
I have a 2006 jeep commander. I was driving my 7 year old son to camp. I was driving about 45 mph on a 2 lane road. Suddenly and without any warning the engine, as well as all electrical items completely shut off. I also lost all assist functions. When i was applying the brakes i got the noise that usually you hear when the abs system has taken control. After pulling to the side of the road i restarted the car and the engine warning light came on. After dropping my son off i attempted to restart the car. I had no instrument panel functions (gas gauge, water temp, odometer, etc.). I will be taking the car in to the dealership on 7/5/2007 for analysis.

Our 2006 jeep commander has had a recurring problem of stalling at random times, while both driving and idling. Every day we start the vehicle but cannot drive it right away because it stalls out if we don't wait at least 5 minutes to "warm it up". Another example, we were driving on a city street and turning left in an intersection and it stalled out while in motion and lost control of steering and braking. I noticed that there have been recalls for thousands of 2006 jeep commanders, but our vin # shows no recalls for our car.we are having the same exact problem with this truck as the other owners of recalled 2006 jeep commanders. It is currently in the shop for the third time and the mechanics cannot recreate the stall while moving issue and cannot figure out why it is hesitating and stalling. This is my 16 year old new driver's vehicle and i'm afraid for her safety.
While driving home on the interstate my vehicle's console started blinking in about 2 minutes laterthe console completely powered off shutting down my vehicle. I was going over a bridge there was no shoulder to pull out into. I held on wheel and prayed made it .3 miles samething happened again wheel freezes and brakes will not work. Almost caused cars behind me to slam into me. Thank god at this point i had already turned on my hazard lights and the cars had a good distance from me. I have never in my life been more scared. Iam the mother of two children and now refuse to put my kids in this death trap. I have contacted jeep just to be told there is not a part yet for recall of ignition switch. This car is not drivable. Iam terrified and cant afford a rental or a new car. How can jeep be allowed to make us drive this things. The recall has been out for several months and yet nothing has been done.
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 upand 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.

Regardless of distance traveled, outside temperature, the 'transmission over temp' message appears on the dash.had coolant flushed 2x but message still appears intermittently.had mechanic look at more than a few times, however could not replicate message and thus no resolution/fix to problem.jeep recently had ignition switch recall completed (thought that would never happen) but 'transmission over temp' would occur prior to that recall being completed.thought the two were connected somehow.main concern is the engine does not overhear, temp reads below middle mark but when transmission message appears, after a few minutes, transmission feels 'off' or jumpy.something is definitely happening.not safe to drive, not confident taking it on long trips because of possible damage that may occur, not to mention being stranded.this is my girlfriends truck and i'm not comfortable having her drive too far, especially in the evening.his is inconvenient because we take care of our vehicles, this truck has low miles, 62,000.would really like to resolve this because we love the trick but cannot trust taking it on trips, towing our boat which was the original purpose of having truck.what a stressful vehicle to have.very dissatisfied with this truck.again, the transmission over temp would occur intermittently, on the highway at times, in traffic, small trips, after sitting parked aftera short trip, message reappears once truck is started again.no rhyme of reason to this.

Engine stall for the second time in 2 months. Occurs when turning. Engine just quits but restarts upon re-ignition. First incident happened on a highway while maneuvering around a stalled vehicle. Scared me to my wits end as cars zipped by me. Second incident today was when turning to the street from parking. Luckily no traffic. Very dangerous. Planning to bring to dealer within the next couple of weeks. Jeepforum.com lists similar incidents.
While driving home from work i noticed my truck was slowing down without me applying the brakes and once i did apply the brakes i was informed i had only one brake light working. At that time i immediately went to a part store to have the fuses check and i purchased more bulbs and found out that was not the problem. The service department informed me that this was electrical problem not even the new bulbs worked and the fuses were good as well. I purchased this vehicle in october 2014 from drive time of columbus, ga and was not informed of the recall. The carfax associated with this vehicle did not mention any defects as a matter of fact the carfax listed this vehicle as almost perfect.i have contact chrysler regarding this matter and they too let me know this problem was part of the recall but they are not able to correct the problem because they do not have the parts and it is may 2015. Now i am driving a truck that is really not safe. I spoke with the dealership where i purchase the truck without any resolution. They are only concerned with the payments., can something be done? can this dealership be made to give me my money back i have spent on this truck or give me another vehicle which i afraid to trust anyone at this point. Your advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
Takata recallas i was driving my car on the four lane my car started to have white rubber smelling smoke fill the car and all my dash lights went crazy, my radio kicked off and my speakers and my turn signals quit working. I started to panic and stopped on the side of the rode. I had my kids in the car so i first removed my children then tried to find the problem. At this point my car was completely full of smoke n it like as if it was burning down.my wiring in the cars passenger side rear floor board had caught on fire ! the fire burnt through my floor and my floor mats. I almost choked to death on the smoke and had to take the battery out of the car to kill the power and dump water on the floor.

Driver side floor has had approx 1-2 inches of water after raining on multiple occasions. Local jeep dealer said the sunroof drain was clogged. This has never happened while driving, only when the vehicle is parked. It's pretty pricey to have these drains unclogged and from reading all the other complaints about this same problem on edmunds, it is a consistent service that needs done. I am very frustrated because this sounds like a defect on chrysler's part, but nothing has been done about it. When this water floods my floor it stinks in the vehicle. I also notice flies and gnats. I am afraid of mold, dry rot and electrical issues. My radio is going out and i believe the water has something to do with this. I never had problems with the radio until this started. The screen is no longer clear, the gps doesn't work, the uconnect hands free doesn't work properly anymore and the radio randomly changes stations on its own.
All the electrical components go off and on i.e. A/c, lights on the dashboard and radio then causes the breaks to stop working, while driving! the car keeps stalling out especially while driving and in park!!!

The vehicle randomly shuts off.the dash gauges flicker and/or go off for a brief time.if breaks are engaged at that time, abs stops.if headlights are on auto, they turn off.if turning a hard left or right (such as turning into a driveway, turning on to a street, parking) power steering stops working. If the lights are on but not on auto the lights stay on.the radio stays on.these symptoms would indicate that there is a problem with the ignition switch.when this issue occurs, it seems to stop by pushing on the key.this has happened multiple times.after visiting this page, a log will be created to record date, time, and speed. This is a huge safety issue.after much research many users of internet forums for jeeps, complain about this issue (reference urls can be provided).

Car dash lights radio and headlights went on and off 5 times in a 1 mile drive. Car also shifted into neutral on its own. Called jeep. They said that even though these things are on the recall list my car is not eligible due to my vin number. And if i want these things fixed i would have to pay.

I purchased my 2006 jeep commander in oct. 2005.first, my brakes would shimmy when i came to a stop.then, beginning sept. 13, i noticed my dash board lights flashing on and off as i accelerated after a stop and drove uphill.now, it doesn't matter if i am drivig the vehicle uphill or on level areas on the highways and freeways.it gets worse and worse everyday.on monday, sept. 17, i called tony mccune chrysler dodge jeep and arranged for an appointment to bring my vehicle for a check up.the dealership wanted to charge me $190 to analyze it.then, they called me in the afternoon and said it would cost me over $400 to repair the jeep eventhough they still did not know what was wrong with my vehicle.before i went in the next day, i surfed the internet and learned that chrysler was recalling my model for the conditions i explained above (malfunction of the computer system, which affects the braking system).the dealership insisted that my jeep was not part of the recall.calling chrysler in oak ridge, tn, i experienced the worst customer service from a representative who insisted there was no recall in place for my model.the dealership called me back and said that chrysler would extend my warranty (since it had already expired) if i would pay $100 deductible.ater i picked up my jeep and drive off, i noticed the same thing happening as i drove onto the freeway.i called the dealership and explained the situation.the representative (bruce) insisted that the it should have been repaired.i don't believe the dealership ever repaired my jeep.i am very concerned about the run-around i am receiving from jeep, chrysler and the local service reps.i am also gravely concerned for my family's safety in this vehicle.
This has happened on more then one occasion.the 1st couple of times the check engine light was one, it took 2 times there and they replaced the modular.after that that was taken care of but then while driving down the street all the instrument lights on the panel came on and all gauges went to zero.the second time this happened, i was driving to work going about 35 miles per hour, again all lights on instrument panel came on and the jeep stalled causing my wheels to lock and my steering to not work, i had to skid off the side of the road, thank goodness no one was behind me.i started my jeep a couple minutes later and the check engine light and all gauges were still at zero and frightened, i was able to drive home through the neighborhood.i took it to the dealership which was there a day because they knew i was furious at this time because i could have caused an accident causing injury to myself and other drivers, i then got it back and was driving home again thank goodness not on the freeway and it happened again.i took it back to the dealer who told me there is nothing that can be done because nothing is being detected on the chip so they can not fix it, they advised me to just drive it and keep a log of the pattern to help them determine the cause.i called the service manager and told him that i have a huge problem with them asking me to drive this for a pattern and causing a potentionally fatal accident to get a pattern which they already know had done this before, the service manger is having the service writer drive my jeep and has been so for almost a week now.i can'tbelieve that this issue is not being taken serious,i could have caused a very very serious accident on the freeway and more so when it starts to snow.i do not feel safe in this vehicle, not only for myself buy other's on the road.this is something that needs to be taken care of now before someone loses there life.

I own a 2006 jeep commander. It started stalling on me in feb or 07. Since then it has stalled 20 times or more. It was at the dealers many of time with me in a rental car for periods of over 2 months at a time. They have yet to find out what the problem is with my jeep. It was labeled a lemon by chrysler but they wanted to charge me an outrageous amount for use on the car. I don't feel for safety reasons this car should even be on the road. I have told chrysler if anything happens to me or my children in the car when it stalls they are 100% liable. This car is unsafe. It will stall just driving down the road. I have had my stall with no warning on are local hwy here i90. Very unsafe this auto is. I want my money back or a replacement with out all the penalties. This is just stupid i have been dealing with this since feb 07 and i am tired of it. I bought the car to drive not have it in the shop be making the payments on it and when i do have it fear for my family's and my own safety in the car.
Less then two weeks after the purchase of the 2006 commander (purchased on 8/10), the dash started to flicker off and on at random times - slow and fast.as i would drive it would get worse and i would lose rpm, mph, lights at night, wipers during storms, radio, air, heat, defrost, all dash warnings flashing on and off, etc.the dash would go black and then the car would stall. The first time this happened i was on a hwy going 65 and had to drift to the side without killing myself or someone else.i started the car back up with no problem. Two hours later i was at a stop sign and it did the same thing. 8/27/14 took it to the dealer and they said they fixed it. The third time it surged, i was in a storm crossing over a two lane bridge - dash flashing, lights/defrost/radio/wipers on and off, and then nothing but darkness and car stalled - i had nowhere to go. I lost all control with the car and only going 35mph. I was able to coast to high point of the bridge with passing cars beeping and flashing their lights at me. I started the car and had the repeat experience three more times before getting home using the emergency break - brakes lock when car stalls. 9/20/14 i took it to the dealer and they said they fixed it. I was driving 35 on a highway and it started again and i decided to tape the activity with my phone - dangerous while driving but had to show someone what was going on - dealer told me they could get me in to look at it in 4 days. 10/13/14 dealer puts me in a junk car and says they are going to fix it and wants me to be safe. Thinks it is a recall.love the car but don't want to die in it because of an electrical surge. My concern is that these complaints have been coming in since 2007 and it is just now getting attention. This is a huge safety issue. I wish i would have done my research before buying the car, shame on me.

On two separate occasions while sitting in traffic, my 2006 jeep commander has stalled.just as i was about to accelerate from a stopped position, the engine sputtered and shut off.no warning signs proceeded the shut off and it immediately started up again.it was annoying to say the least considering it's a brand new vehicle, only 3500 miles on it.but if this happened while driving at high speeds it could obviously result in injury or death.
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.
All lights on the dash flip off and on in succession and the odometer and tachometer drop to 0 while maintaining speed.highbeams and headlights also seem to be effected. Happened first on december 31 and has continued happening since this time at random times.

Had cruise control set to 65 mph on the freeway. Out of nowhere the car began accelerating on its own to reaching speeds of 85 mph. If cruise control is turned on now it accelerates on its own and i ma not able to control the speed at all.have taken car to dealership but they say nothing is wrong. Front windshield leaks and lets in too much air. I should not have to pay for repairs since it is a defect. Driver side window does not go down. Now rear passenger side window is starting to get stuck.have replaced driver side switch and the problem still exists. Front passenger window goes down but thedriver side which has controls to all the windows does not work for any of the windows.my car accelerates on its own on a daily basis. It can go from 35 mph to uncontrollable speeds.taken to dealership several times but they never find the problems. Dealership cant even figure out what is wrong with the electrical windows.
While stopped at a stop light on 4 different occasions over a period of 2 weeks, the vehicle lost total electrical power and engine shut off by it self. The 2006 jeep commanderrestarted immediately after putting in park and turning ignition. The jeep was brought into the jeep service center on 9-11-2007. Service tech said that they had similar problem with another jeep commander in the service center and could not figure out the problem. Per the service tech no error messages were reported. They called chrysler who told them to do a pcm reflash install per star.the car has stalled again since then.

Driving down the road at 65mph and the speedometer and tach will go to 0 and then back up to operating speed. Warning lights on dash will come on and off along with the fan for heater and air.chrysler recalled these exact issues in july stating " some jeep commander vehicles may experience an unintended change in ignition switch position while driving which may result in loss of engine power, power steering, and braking assist increasing the risk of a crash and disabling one or more of the vehicles safety features including the frontal airbags.until this repair is completed the vehicle can be driven". My only question is for how long?how long until someone is injured or dead from the vehicle losing power. On chrysler recall website for this vehicle it stated they were to issue another letter or information on this issue in september.it is now november.

My commander is stalling while driving. And at times just will not start. Several incidents dating back to years. . i bought this commander new, no miles. One incident i was driving going over 50 mphand all dash board lights came onand it just stalled. Another time stalled sitting at red light and all dash board lights came on and it stalled.and over 10times it just won't start.right now it is broke down, just won't start.over the years i was told it was the starter it was replace 8/3/2010 (i had to pay for starter, labor and towing) then next time i replaced the battery. And still the same problems.i did a check on recalls and found the 2008 commanders was recalled for the same reasons. Why haven'tthe 2006 commanders been recalled?this is a very serious problem. I could be in a wreck when this happens. I have children in my commander age 17 months and 8 months. This problem needs to be recalled and fixed. Chrysler knows this is a existing problem for other year commanders, they fixed them why not mine???and i feel since chrysler accepted this recall in other years and if i wreck chrysler will be responsible for my wreck and any injuries. All i want is for chrysler to fix my commander....

This problem appears to be wide spread. All the intstrument panel warning lights come on and the a/c radio heater tachometer speedometer etc stop working. I investigated online and it seems this is a common problem with no clear cut fix. My jeep is included in the ignition switch recall and i'm concerned that this is a related problem. There is no eta for the ignition switch parts! i spoke with chrysler customer service yesterday.
Was driving the vehicle first noticed the electric mirrors turned upward and unable to correct.then the left window went down and moves up or down at random.the electric door locks became inoperative from driver side. The warning gauges started to go off and on and display started to flash different problems with the vehicle. While driving the next day the cruise control went off and everything started flashingthis has happened several times and have put the vehicle in the shop.i have a video that i took while driving.
Hi my jeep commander has been in garage most of the time one day it stayed out in the rain and all the water got in the driver side and the electrical system failed radio shut off and on same with the dashboard lights, headlights and interior lights the it would stay on dash service suspension system check gauges the check engine would com on the battery and the oil and the tire pressure and sometimes it wont start the other day it shut off while driving i have 4 kids and im afraid it could happen when they re with me and they could get hurt i called chrysler and they take no responsibility for this problem i'm reporting this to the bbb and to the consumers affairs hopefully someone will help.
Additional problems reference odi complaint #10244597.received car back from dealership ran fine for two weeks.the car is now stalling on the highway at 40 mph near our home.thank god i was able to get the car to the side of the road. Then the park assist service light came on and went off again.i got the car home.my husband took it out.the transmission was slipping and not shifting into higher gear.today taking the kids to the bus it stalled again.when i was able to restart, i put my foot on the gas and the car hesitate, almost causing an accident.i have pretty much decided on voluntary repossession, as my kids are worth more than the deficient balance.

After contacting my local jeep dealership, i am told there still is "no solution" to fix the current ignition switch recall on my jeep. They have known about this for years. My "official" recall notification was september 2014, and there is no solution yet. How long does one have to wait for a viable solution? why not just install a new ignition switch instead of replacing parts? i believe i have waited long enough, and still no fix. My concern now is with the rush to fix air bad my fix will be delayed even longer. How long is a reasonable time to wait before the government demand action?
I purchased my 2006 jeep commander in july 20138/3/13 i was driving on the freeway when all the warning lights started flashing. The gauges stop working. Head lights went out, ac fan shut down, radio went off. Everything electrical shut down. Then it just came back on, then off. It continued to do this until i shut the car off and waited for a few minutes. But it started again after a few minutes of driving. I have taken back to dealer where i purchased it. They have replaced the ecu,and the pcu but it's still doing it. It's been in out of the shop 4 times so far.they have had my car longer than i have. As of now they are unable to determine what's wrong with it.so i am paying for a car that i can't drive and i can't get out of my loan because the cars not worth what i paid for it and it's not drivable!!!!
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.

I have 2006 jeep commander in which i am experiencing issues with the ignition switch on my vehicle. The defective ignition switch causes every light on my dashboard to illuminate and it causes my vehicle to stall, as well as flickering lights with no power to fuel gauges, mph, and rpm needles. After all the lights illuminate and go away the check engine light stays on, and the defective ignition switch drains my battery causing my vehicle to not start without a jump start by the next day. With a slight tap on the key it will move some or a bump in the road will make the ignition switch start acting up and make some of the previously described symptoms act up. Occasionally there are clicks that come from the ignition switch after the vehicle has started, which signifies that the defective ignition switch is going to fail soon. I received the notification from the chrysler corporation about the recall and that my vehicle is included in it, but haven't received the second notice to this date about when the part would be available. I called in november to check and see what can be done but i was told the same thing that no parts are available. So this leaves me at the end of the road with this vehicle. I check online almost all the time for updates and still the same thing. I have been following this recall since it popped up in the news before i received notification from chrysler, because i have had this problem with my vehicle. I am scared for my life that the key will move into the wrong places disabling my car or when the ignition switch acts up it will make me loose control of my vehicle and it could be dangerousfor me or any of my passengers even fatal. Safety should be chryslers number one priority. At this point i hope to get rid of this car and move away from chrysler's products for good especially since fiat is running the show!
I bought a jeep comander in may of 2008, two days later i had to have what was supposed to be a really great new car towed on a rollback to the dealer i had just gotten it from. Im driving down the road and it starts making a terrible noise and then it will not turn and just dies in the middle of the road. Right in the middle of an intersection with traffic coming at me. Since then the same thing happened again as i was driving down the interstate with my children in the car and traffic all around.i drove it straight to the dealership, and also had them tell me it was the driver of the vehicle. I got a rental and they called the next day to say they could find anything wrong with the car. During the winter my car decided to get a mind of its own and when you would turn the heat on you had to have it on high or it wouldn't do anything,but if you drove around a curve to the right it would cut off, if you went around a curve to the left it would cut back on. A couple months later it was time to get brakes and have rotors turned. I also had the stereo worked on because i guess it took lessons from my heater, and would change stations or not turn at all .it still doesn't work right at this point i've kind of given up on it.but then the window s started not going up all the way theywould go halfway up then go back down in the door. Ihave just taken my car on friday to get new tires, monday for an alignment,where i was told they couldn't do one because my tierod had to much play in it and was a safety concern. My dealership no longer has their license so i had my car taken to the closest jeep place and my warranty couldn't be found and i basically stood on the street to wait for a ride as they closedfor the night.but then when i got to talk to them again i needed new brakes and rotors all the way around at a grand total of 600.00 .
My car will not start. This has happened several times before, and there has been no explanation as to why this happens.
2006 jeep commandervehicles is shutting off randomly while driving and the steering wheel is locking up. Also the lights on the dash board flicker randomly. Mechanics could not find anything wrong. There is no recalls on my specific vin but for other 2006 jeep commanders. I do not want my family and i driving down the highway and it's does this and we die then you finally say oops yeah there's a recall on that...

Since the first few months that i owned this 2006 jeep commander it has randomly shut down while i am driving.i have noticed that it happens more often in the summer.it has been taken in and had pcm reprogramming, parts replaced, and other work.at the time we purchased it my husband was the gm at the dealership.the tech's tried everything.since then the dealership has switched to another automotive group.i have contacted several jeep service departments and many say there is nothing they can do.they are aware of the problem, but have no solutions other than what has already been done.i drive on highways with my two children often and several times it has cut off when speed limits where 65+ mph.i do not want to pass this problem along to another owner.i managed service departments for years and know how to react to problems, but i am concerned that jeep has done nothing to fix this.i know of several other owners who purchased vehicles at the same time who had the same problem.many have been traded in and now new owners are having to deal with this dangerous condition.

Car turned itself off,ignition switch problem, maybe software.has stalled on many occasions.has had software checked by dealer and there is no other fix, they say. Is this part of the ignition switch recall problem with ignition switch? thank you!
This problem happens year round.once you put the vehicle into drive, all of the shift lights "prnd" light up and the vehicle won't accelerate.if you are already driving down the road/ freeway, it will randomly light up and stop accelerating.when it randomly occurs, it happens with no warning, andyou have to attempt to pull the vehicle over to the side of road, put it into neutral or park or restart the vehicle, and attempt it again.the check engine light will come on and the problem will happen repeatedly over a week period, then the problem will stop for a week or two and then resurface at the worst time- for example an intersection, an on-ramp, a busy street, and it has presented huge safety issues for me and my family.does it take someone dying for this to get recalled?i have read forum after forum of the same issue amongst consumers with my exact make, model, and year (and earlier models) and yet, when i called jeep, they say they have never heard of it, there is no recall, and i've been turned away.
The vehicle will suddenly lose power to the headlights, taillights, instrument panel, speedometer, odometer, and the interior some lights will turn themselves on without cause or warning. In the most recent event, vehicular damage and possible personal injury nearly occurred when driving in the dark, almost striking a utility pole. Also, the automatic window control will not function properly when trying to roll up the window itself. It will stop halfway and bring itself back down. It usually takes 3-4 times to roll the window up. This has occurred numerous times, so many that i can't keep track. The local dealership cannot pinpoint the issue and this vehicle is not safe to be on the road.
Ignition problem ..dealer replaced ignition due a recallon vehicle,but the problem was not fixed.dash turns off suddenly while driving and car stops suddenly too.have to start it sgain. Dealer replaced the ignition switch to prevent this to happen,but it's happening now more than any time.people say that the problem wasn't solved after replacing the ignition.
Problem with ignition switch causes dash not to work and car not to be able to start most of time.key does not stay in proper position in ignition.vehicle is stationary and in motion when this happens while driving on city streets.

I was driving in my community on a local street at rate of 45 miles hour. For no reason, my 2006 jeep commander stalled and i had no power or anything control of the car. Scary to say the least.i had to pull over to the side of the road and restart my car. Now, when i try to start it, the horn will not stop and i cannot turn off my fog lamps or high beams. Now i am mad and want answers. I pay a lot of money to keep this car in good shape, now this.
On three occasions (july 22, aug. 2, august 14) my 2006 jeep commander has stalled while i was driving. These incidents all occurred while i was slowing to a stop. On two of the occasion i was slowing to a stop on an incline. When the incident occurs the power steering shuts off and the engine stops. The automobile restarts after the transmission is put in park. The dealer indicates that the on-board computer detects no failures and that they were unable to replicate the incident.

I received recalls p73 and p41 called sorg dodge in goshen and downey chrysler jeep in nappanee in sept of 2015 needless to say no one will do the recall work.i have had nothing but the run around since these came out. What am i suppose to do??
The seat belt wont latched unless you press down the released buttonon both driver and passenger. Also the panels leaked on passenger side and the top.
Headlights and interior lights shut off while driving at night at highway speed, but the radio remained on and the engine was also working. All the lights on the instrument panel flipped on and then off with the exception of the base esp and the traction control lights, they stayed on. Power steering and power brakes were working and if it had not been dark out, could have drove home. The vehicle did come back to normal working order within a few seconds. This record of events happened 3 times within a few minutes at 10 pm and was very scary.i brought the vehicle to the jeep dealership and they replaced the power junction block. They said there were multiple codes they found in the system but the fault that leaped out to them was u0200.
A window went about 1/3 of the way down and stopped. Could not get it to go up or down after that. The vehicle was parked at the time. We wondered if it was the motor. We watched a video on the internet on how to check it and it said to check the wires behind the door panel because it is a common problem for this type of vehicle to have broken wires and low and behold that's exactly what had happened.

Had continuous issues w/the performance -service dept can't fix the problem.approx three months afterpurchase, i was pulling off from a parking space -car cut off completely.i assumed that i hit the gear or didn't have completely engaged.b/c a new car, i thought it was strange but not a real issue.in aug '06, taking my car in for routine service, backing up in the dealership lot & the car cut off completely.added the request to have the issue checked.i explained this wasn't the 1st time the car cut off and there must be a problem.was told that nothing found.in sept '06, i was driving to work in stop & go traffic - my car cut off completely.i was able to apply the hazard lights to warn other drivers.i was able to start the car and took it into the dealership for service.i explained that this was the 3rd time that the car completely shut off, and something needed to be done.i was told that they could not replicate the situation and was asked to pick up my car.i told the service advisor that i was not picking up my car until something was done.my car cuts off while driving!that is not safe. I can't wait until i am in a tragic accident to say see, it happened again.the service department reported that they contacted the star hotline and replaced the pcm and installed a control program.i have continued to experience stalling and hesitation while driving but the car has not completely shut off.i have no confidence in accelerating to merge into traffic, nor pass other vehicles.i feel totally vulnerable that the commander will shut off while driving. During my last scheduled maintenance 1/31/07, i informed the service advisor that i am still experiencing hesitation/stalling.they did not find anything.i have been advised to set up a time to leave my vehicle for overnight road test.

While driving the car shut off.no speed or power steering.this occurred on a busy road and a crash was avoided.i have called chrysler and was told the recall parts are still unavailable.
The ac/heater control until has a short when you push the breaks it goes off.plus it has affected my nav/radio system. I am afraid that my vwhicle is going to catch on fire. You can hit a bump while driving and it will work.the nav/radio system will turn on when it wants but as soon as you put the vehicle in reverse or tap the breaks it goes off. Sometimes it smells like burnt plastic on the control panel where the ac/heater is located. I have spoke with the local jeep dealership near me. They will not look at it without wanting to charge me an outrageous prices.this is not my fault and the local dealership is acting like i made a mistake and tore up my vehicle.i can get no answer out of them.

I cannot "safely" drive my vehicle as the car goes into neutral on it's own? there have been many a times that i have been on the highway traveling 55 mph or more and all of a sudden, the car would slightly jerk and then loose complete power. I would step on the accelerator but no change, i would simply pull off to the side of the highway. Wait a few minutes and eventually the car would start up again? the headlights and interior lights go off and on? the face plate to the radio system gets hot? and has affected the illumination of the dashboard instrumental lighting? this is not a vin thing but a jeep commander thing? such an attractive vehicle with so many many issues? safety issues. And the company has yet to fulfill the recalls? its been more than a year? dealers keep telling the consumers, the part isn't available yet? i need to be able to drive to work, this has cost me additional money to buy a reliable vehicle to get me to work.i paid over $35,000 for it, and meanwhile it sits in the garage. A lot of money for your average joe to fork out. Who's going to force the manufacturer to honor the recall?

I received a recall notice about a week prior to this incident for nh23. It stated there were no parts to repair it and to put the emergency brake on while the vehicle is in park in the meantime which i did. On july 3rd- i took my daughter to the bmv to take her road test in my jeep. The officer and my child stated that the car was malfunctioning and not safe to test in. We had no problem on the way there. I went out to see what could be wrong and the vehicle was surging loudly and "jumping" in place. It would not switch gears either so it could not be driven.i had it towed to my mechanic and was told my transmission was gone. I called the recall number and spoke to [xxx] who told me that a software glitch would've prevented this problem from being diagnosed and to have it towed to ganley chrysler in bedford, oh. I learned on 7/9 when mike a service tech there called me requesting $936 to open the transmission. "it's a broken part in the transmission." i asked him if it was related to the tca. He said, "what's that? let me look it up." he then stated, "no. That's just a piece that is used to program the car. It has nothing to do with it." i called chrysler back and spoke with [xxx]. I gave her the background info and she called mike. She told me "it has nothing to do with the recall." the dealership did not know to diagnose my car once it was dropped of there. After speaking with the representative instead of doing a thorough check they maintained that the problem is that there is a broken part in the transmission and it is not r/t to the transfer case actuator. Even though the tca going bad can cause the transmission to ??go bad?? or break. I firmly believe it could not be appropriately diagnosed d/t a software glitch and that the tca needed replacing and the dealer did not have the parts as the recall stated. Why then should i pay for the repairs? information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Below is what i sent to jeep. I have their respondents in my email. I can proved as requested.this correspondence is to document my concern with the safety of my jeep commander; year 2006, make ltd, vin [xxx]. There is an electrical issue that is causing various components of the vehicle to malfunction. Examples of these episodes are the following: the a/c cutting in and out, the dashboard flickering on and off, the speedometer flickering radically up and down, the audio center turning on and off, headlights to flicker, the turning signals to not correctly operate.?i recently replaced the audio unit because the malfunction caused the unit to blow. The problem has been occurring since 2012; initially the occurrences were rare but have been increasing in consistence and escalating since then.i tried addressing the issue on 6.12.2012 at chapman scottsdale autoplex.the problem continued. I tried readdressing 05.01.2014 at chapman scottsdale autoplex. I have incurred direct cost of approximately $275 and have supporting documentation to support. Chapman scottsdale autoplex is stating that i need to replace a dimmer switch for a cost of $229.00. I am not confident that is will resolve the issue and neither is the dealership. I originally purchased the vehicle at royal gate dodge chrysler jeep, inc. On 04.24.2009. I believe this issue is a matter that the manufacture should address and resolve. These occurrences are not routine maintenance items. I would prefer to address this matter without filing a formal correspondence to national highway traffic safety administration. I will be providing a copy of this correspondence to my attorney [xxx]&for record purposes. Please respond to this correspondence within seven business of receipt. I look forward to resolving this matter.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

As i was coning to a stop my car died this happened several times all while coming to a stop.i could hear a clicking noise and then the engine would just turn off. I would have to put it in park and restart the engine.its very scary to think my car turns off for no apparent reason.they did a diagnostic but found nothing now my navigation display in the radio comes and goes to a blank screen. I assume it is all connected since the electrical system is all related.what next?

I own a 2006 jeep commander ltd. With the 5.7l hemi. Date of manufacturer was 06/06. In the past year my commander has began stalling out sporadically while stopped completely. It occurs at any time, night or day, usually only when the engine is cold or cool. The problem occurs when i come to a complete stop at a stop sign, stop light, or any other complete stop in drive or reverse. When i come to a complete stop the rpm's drop and the vehicle stalls out. No warning lights or check engine lights show up on the dash. When it occurs at night all the external vehicle lights turn off, thus making me and my vehicle vulnerable to other traffic. It does not trip a code in the computer so the dealer cannot diagnose the problem. The first time i took my vehicle in for maintenance regarding the problem the dealer recommended i replace the egr valve so i did what they recommended. The problem still occurs. The dealer advised me that they cannot duplicate the problem therefore there is nothing they can do to correct the problem. When my vehicle stalls out it typically will do it 3-5 additional times per trip and it happens at least once per week. I have read that numerous people are having the same problems and jeep has no fix.i am very concerned with this problem because it is unsafe as i was nearly struck by another vehicle. Recently i was traveling down the street at night and was preparing to turn left at a stop light. I stopped in the middle of the intersection to wait for the oncoming traffic to pass, when my car stalled out and all of the lights turned off (headlights, running lights, etc) making my vehicle completely invisible to traffic. I was unable to move the vehicle until i placed it in neutral and had to restart the engine and move out of the intersection. Please look further into this problem with 2006 jeep commanders as this is not something that should happen.

Bought vehicle 3/31/06 new now has 60,000 miles. The vehicle has had numerous instances with stalling while driving. All the instrument panel lights will light up and headlights will switch on/off to high beams on their own. Will lose powersteering and there seems to be a change in acceleration. On march 20th i was traveling at approx 30 miles per hour and lost power but the instrument panel lights did not go off as usual. I pulled off the road and parked vehicle. Had my step-father come to assist and he stated there car didn't seem to want to go gear properly, assumed this was due to the prior "electrical" problems and drove commander to dealership approx. 1 mile away. Was told there was a plug in the transmission leaking where the electrical wires enter, cost to repair $430. After completing those repairs was told the transmission is destroyed and needs replaced at $3500. Chrysler is not offering any assistance to an obvious manufacturer issue. Stated i knowingly drove a vehicle with low transmission fluid and am negligent.

Bought car used at a dealership, but was not told of recalls or issues. Car stalled on me twice, once in traffic approaching a light and another in a parking lot turning left to weave out of lot. The 4 wheel low was recalled and checked, but problem persist. The engine hesitates while driving, little stumbles and shakes while accelerating. While in park, weird sound is heard from light rev. I have had car for less than 3 days and problems occurred. I have a 2 ton paper weight at the moment as i feel it is unsafe to drive. I now have a decent size transmission leak after i park from short drives. I have but maybe 250 miles on it. I have heard of the 4.7 having some of these issues and a recall has been done, but not for the 5.7l hemi's. I have read numerous complaints on similar issues of exact engine model of commander, but recalls for it aren't available and only such for the 4.7l version.
I currently own a 2006 commander. I have been having problems with dash light shutoffs since 2009, just recently the vehicle has started to do exactly what the recall has stated that it will do. The dash components will go from on to off and then back on. The warning lights will all come on and then off again without warning. The fan motor for the heater is now starting to cut in and out in unison with all the indicator lights. Right now it is only the lights but at some time the ignition is going to shut off leaving myself in a situation that i cannot control with no steering or brakes to safely get to the side of the road.at this point i can hit the dash to the right of the steering wheel and it comes back on but how long can i do this. This vehicle is definitely a lemon. Sept 20, 2015

The vehicle has power failure while driving and while stationary with engine running! the dashboard instrument panel, gauges,lights, hvac, radio, etc. Shuts off but the vehicle still runs, and it continues to turn off and on over and over again. Also, it occurs whether on a smooth surface in motion or when you hit a bump in the road, and it occurs when the vehicle is sitting still with engine running. It makes you feel like the vehicle is about to shut off. This occurs every time i drive my vehicle, regardless of the location.there is a safety recall for the ignition switch, and i feel this problem may be related to that issue.

My 2006 jeep commander seems to have electrical or computer problems, i'm not certain which.since january 2009 i've had several instances when all the instrument panel lights, the heat, and radio flash on and off while i am driving and all the gauges fluctuate; during this time there is also a clicking sound.i've taken it back to the dealer several times and paid $100 to have their computer evaluate the problem but they found no problems.recently, on 12/11/09 when the flashing was constant for over 5 miles of driving, i brought it straight to the dealer for an immediate evaluation.i asked if others reported similar problems i was told "no", so i was very surprised to see the number of individuals in your database with similar problems over the past 2 years.the service managers always want me to pay for additional evaluations but i believe this is a defect that needs to be addressed by the manufacturers.when the problem began i only had 55,250 miles on the truck.currently the problem has gotten worst because it is more frequent and last longer.the dealer has a huge turnover of service managers and mechanics so each time i have to explain in detail what the problem is because the service managers pretend i'm the only one who ever complained about such a problem.i fear that the truck will stall in traffic and kill me or an innocent driver.the problem is i have no other means of transportation and i'm still paying for this truck. What can i do about this problem without resorting to discontinue paying for the defected vehicle? the dealer/service managers report no problems including battery, alternator, and computer working properly so currently i feel stuck and afraid of the ramifications of this defected vehicle.
Brought car on 10/02/06.

While driving down the road, the entire cluster of instrument warning lights begins to flash intermittently, creating a distraction and safety hazard while driving.in addition, the fuel gauge drops to "e", the speedometer drops to zero and then goes up and down and all gauges go up and down erratically.also, the heated seats turn off as does the fan for the heater/ac unit.verified with local mechanic that this is not related to the ignition switch and is most likely an ecm and/or pcm issue. Replaced battery but problem still exists. Engine malfunction indicator light comes on for several cycles, computer reboots itself and then the trouble starts again shortly after.this appears to be an ongoing issue with the 06 commander but my vin was not included in the ecm/pcm recall (08v203000) because i have the 6-cylinder rather than the 8 cylinder engine. This is a safety hazard while driving and i just feel fortunate that as of yet, my car is not stalling like so many others. However, i feel my issue is related to this same recall and want to have it on file.
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!
I bought my jeep commander on the 14th of august and on the 23 and 24 and 28 of august it rained and now my floor is wet i had the car looked at on the 25 and they said my sun roof drain tube were completely block and the cleaned them out and yet i wake up today after it had rained over night and my drivers side floor was wet again. Im taking it in again to make sure its not my window and i called the dealer that sold it to me and he said to let him know how that turned out or he would get to the bottom of this problem for us. I hope he does or the jeep is going back!!! i have been reading on the internet of thousands that have the same problem please make them do a recall. If mold begins to grow someone will get sick . My husband has an autoimmune disease and im sure mold wont be good for his health problems!!!! please make them fix the problems with these jeep commanders[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Just as i was slowing down to 30 mph to enter a parking lot the entire dashboard lit up and then all lights faded and turned off. The ac turned off and the radio turned off. The car still continued driving but the power steering was gone, causing the car to shake and jolt mid turn. The brakes weren't working as they normally would resulting in a very dangerous situation had any other car been close to me at the time. I took it to my mechanic right away and he tested everything, including the alternator and the battery. Everything was functioning at 100% capacity and he couldn't find a reason for the check engine light to be on. This has happened 3 more times. I am unable to drive the vehicle in fear that it will break down or my family or another driver.
1) driving on the interstate with the cruise control on; brake was applied to disengage the cruise control.2) headlights shut off, speedometer and tachometer and fuel gauge shut off; a moment after, the tires locked up and the vehicle spun 180 degrees, then collided with a guard rail and bounced off and returned to the interstate in oncoming traffic facing the wrong way3) independent inspector was hired by chrysler; the report found no mechanical defect nor did it find any computer codes that would indicate a malfunction;chrysler denies there is a problem and recommended we contact our insurance company for repairs.

The issues i have had is stalling in my 2006 jeep commander.there is not any warning sign associated with this.my car has stalled before while driving on the expressway as well as while parked.there is no warning, it just stalls.while driving the car on the expressway it just cut off.luckily i was in the far left lane and was able to steer the car to the shoulder.i turned the ignition off then started to car and it drove as if nothing ever happened.it also stalls while parked with no warning.there is no apparent reason.you then have to unplug the battery for at least 24 hours then hope it starts the next day.i have had the alternator changed and this problem still happens.what i was told by a mechanic is when i unplug the battery it is resetting the electrical control panel.but this has not helped.i still have the same problem.

While driving, 06 jeep commander had smoke pouring into the inside from the gear shift, vents, etc. Smelled electrical. Car refused to turn off on two attempts with keys already out of the ignition. That was the first occasion for that problem. Have had several times when i was driving that the car stalls, locking up the steering wheel, etc. Have taken it to the dealership for this problem and they said they fixed the recall ???? it still stalls, sometimes three times a day...which is difficult when you have several people behind you. The vehicle is at the shop now as i had to get it towed when it quit running, during the fire. I am currently searching to see if others have had this problem.
Since the beginning of ownership, this car has stalled many times (as well as other various and odd electrical problems.)many times i can turn the car off and on and it will restart.this does happen in parking lots and highway speeds as well. I have also lost power steering and brakes when in parking lots at a very slow acceleration speed. I have also had air bag warning lights go on and stay on then randomly shut off.the dealer has tried to help resolve but is limited by chrysler's ability to recognize that there is a problem.if there is no code in the cars computer, there is no problem and can't be duplicated.if the problem can't be duplicated, there is no repair. But it keeps happening over and over.i have filed a complaint with chrysler with no resolve.the dealership has had my car and drove it for 3 weeks to try to duplicate the problem.since it is so random and they just didn't get enough time/miles in, the problem didn't happen.it stalled again about 3 weeks after that pulling out of my driveway.there has been no repair, because chrysler says there is no problem.i have been in the middle of an intersection with a 15 year old on a permit driving with oncoming traffic.i have had this car since march 2006 and this has been occurring many times repeatedly since then.not all have been documented and because it occasionally happens on weekends or holidays, i have no ability to get it in to a dealership.in order for them to be able to read a code, i would have to leave the car in a stalled position wherever it occurred and have it towed directly to the dealer.this is highly impractical and unsafe.especially scary at high speeds on the highway.i do not want to be a casualty of chrysler's failure to recognize that there are thousands of these vehicles out there doing this exact same thing.do a "google" searchsee the #'s!something needs to be done!!!

Electrical was going haywire for a year prior to new ignition switch being replaced after recall. Things were fine for a couple of months and now the car has started doing the same thing. Lights flashing, stalling mutilple lights on at the same time ie: engine, park assist, etc.
Hi, this is the second notice that i have received regarding the recall for the ignition switch (p41/nhtsa 14v-438). Upon receiving the notice i called my local jeep dealer and both times was told that the parts are not available. I have experienced some of the problems described in the recall. I have two young children and i am concerned for their safety. I have brought my vehicle (2006 jeep commander) in for service before the recall was made aware of and they could not diagnose the problem. At times i have been driving and all of a sudden my vehicle's instrument panel seems to shut off, the steering tightens, and the lights flicker on and off. This happens quite frequently and now that i know that there is a recall i'm more afraid that i may be putting my family and myself in danger. I realize that the recall notice has been made public for a year now but this has been happening for much longer than that. I read on your site that it may be possible for the vehicle to be purchased back. My vehicle has 115600 miles and i'm the original owner. How does that work? thank you for your time.

My wife was driving at approximately at 35 mph when she made a right hand turn into a parking lot and the vehicle completely died.all power steering and brakes were lost, which nearly caused her to wreck into an on coming car.the dealership replaced an ignition switch as the only probably cause, but can not guarantee that this will not occur again.obviously this is not a fatality however this is something that could very easily lead to a serious accident.

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.
Chrysler released the n23 recall to update the final drive controller, this update has affected the transfer case motor function. My 2006 commander has had a catastrophic failure and cannot be fixed. The jeep dealer informed me that chrysler has pulled all the replacement parts from the supply system (transfer case motor) and there is no timeline for availability. There is no substitute parts to fix, nor aftermarket option. My car is worthless now!

Had an ignition recall, which the service was performed by jeep dealer. They also replaced the starter. Still having the issue after having it looked at 4 times.

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.

1.it leaks.whenever there is rain i have 2-3 inches of water in the front foot area on both sides.in addition to that water leaks through the lining and front pillars of the truck landing on the dashboard.what is this about?this not only results in my time to drain out the water it also leads to a gross musty smell.after a rain i can hear the water swishing back and forth in ht roof of my car.this is rediculous.further this issue has done something to the electrical system.2.the electrical system. The driver's side door window/lock/mirror switches no longer work. So that means that the driver's side window hasn't been down in forever.that makes life quite difficult.the next electrical problem is that for no apparent reasons lights come on.as i driving the interior lights just start to shine bright all of them at the same time. One night i woke up at three in the morning to find my headlights on.i tried to turn them off but couldn't.it eventually wore the battery out.lastly electronics wise is my dashboard lights flicker crazy.3.the door handles.behind the actual door handle is plastic.this has all broken away.i am sure it is just a matter of time before i can open the doors at all.4.it just stops running.five times now as i am driving (streets or highway) the truck has just shut down.fortunately it starts right back up but this is extemely dangerous. This form asks for dates...all of this is ongoing.
While sitting at a traffic light, most or all of the warning lights came on, wipers came on, horn started honking and the engine stalled. The horn continued to honk, the wipers to operate as if i had turned them on, which i had not. Once i was able to restart the engine, the incident stopped and operated fine until the next occurrence. The second and third time this same thing happened; i was driving on an interstate, somewhere between 60 and 70mph, and all the above random things happened again, although the engine did not stall. The fourth time i was driving in suburban traffic and stopped at a light, all the same things happened and the engine did stall. I was not able to stop the horn from blaring, nor shut off the high beams this time, even after the engine was stopped and the key was withdrawn. I had to disconnect the battery cable to shut off the horn and lights. Once i reconnected the battery, about an hour later, all was fine again. These 4 occurrenceshappened over the last ~2 months at random times in various traffic and weather conditions. It's frightening to think that i may be on an interstate in heavy traffic, and the engine stalls!
Can you tell me when chrysler will have parts for my vehiclethat is on recall for ignition switch. I am still having problems with the vehicle cutting off while driving. I have the recall notification for some time now and waiting for them to notify me when i can have it repaired.

I enter the date above as today which is not the recall date only to complete this form.thank you[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

My jeep didn't pull correctly, it back fire and wind. We took it to chrysler to get it fix. The mechanic told us that the solenoid went bad... So were charged $405 for a converter, $357 for a solenoid, $7.75 for a sealer, and $3.60 for a nut none... Total labor and parts $1930.31... Today we go to pick it up, and it still makes the same noise and the problem worsen. We left it there to be fixed again... At the moment we are out of $2000, no car, and then had the nerve to tell me it was something else wrong with my car and it'll be $800 more to fix it. Needless to say,i told them i wanted to speak with the owner, he said he'll call me back.. Not even two minutes later, he goes... "we'll take care of it...
I have two of these 2006 commanders which are driven by my two daughters. I received the recall notice for the ignition switch months ago but it said that parts are not available, which is apparently still the case. How long are my girls supposed to drive these vehicles in this condition? will these parts ever be available? i sold a previous jeep to buy this one because the old one, as i found out after i purchased it, was susceptible to gas tank explosion. And now this. Will chrysler ever be forced to remedy this situation? or will they be allowed to wait until several more people die from their lack of attentiveness to this problem?
Vehicle would not start and we had experienced this off and on so we replaced the battery.within a month, car would not start again.while trying to get it started the lights came on, no start. Waited, tried again, dimmer lights; waited again nothing!electrical system totally non functioning.we have also had stalling issues and car automatically changing gears.it feels like it just can't get speed up and not even a high rate, just in town.i was driving and noticed the gear went from drive to 3rd!i tried turning it off and restarting with no luck and then that stalling feeling all the way to work. The truck has a mind of it's own but it's not working!

A/c blower motor and resistor keeps failing. Original failure on 9/4/2008, replaced blower motor and resistor, mileage 57771. Failure # 2, 5/18/2009, same failure, blower motor replaced, mileage 64773. Failure # 3, 6/1/2012, mileage 115274, blower motor and resistor replaced, also paid for "new baffle screen" per jeep, a design flaw and debris coming in and getting lodged in ac motor fan blades, would correct problem from happening again. I paid for 1/2 of the parts as i was out of warranty, but was given a "goodwill repair" credit on labor from dealer and $100 refund from cd for parts on this repair, mileage 115274. Failure # 4, 11/19/2012, same failure, blower motor, except this time, blower motor smoked, electrical burn and smoke inside vehicle, i had to evacuate my vehicle on side of freeway, mind you i am disabled with service dog. Dealer covered repair with their own parts and repair warranty. Failure # 5, 4/30/2013, mileage 131318,.....current status, waiting repair....because it is failing intermittently, only low air setting, and not others, lithia dealer requesting i wait until complete failure, which i find unsafe. I have called jeep and told them that if this happens again, i will file a lawsuit, this is a "unsafe" problem for it's consumers. It has yet to completely fail, but previous problems tell me it's only a matter of time.

In the 5 years i have owned the 2006 jeep commander it has stalled while driving, stalled while parked.this happens at no set frequency.sometimes it happens daily, other times it will go for months and not happen.the dash lights repeatedly flash off and on.some dash lights don't work at all for months then like magic work fine for months.the vehicle sputters when accelerating all the time and at different speeds.if i am crossing or turining i need to make sure i have like 2 miles between me and oncoming traffic in case it decides to not work that time and i get stuck in the intersection. The cruise control no longer works.luckily the computer went out that controls the cruise so i can't use it.the cruise used to just speed up and slow down on its own.i will be driving along and all of a sudden without notice the car will floor itself and not stop until i put the car in neutral.regardless of what temperature i have the heater set to there is constantly extremely hot air blowing on my feet.i can not drive without shoes on or the hot air literally burns my feet.overall- there are some serious electrical and mechanical issues with the jeep commander.i googled jeep commander and there are hundreds (i am sure thousands) of similar complaints.
Electrical-- started about 1 year ago with clock light dimming then flash back to normal . Now,loss of dash and headlights -flickers on and off several times, then willsometimes go out completely.

Driving my 2006 jeep commander on 635e in dallas, tx, the car just died going 70 mph with 6 lanes of traffic, and i was in the lane next to the hov lane and it had not shoulder, just a concrete wall.rather that cross 4 lanes of heavy fast traffic with no acceleration in the car, i went into the hov lane which had less traffic and got rear ended but was not a serious wreck as it well could have been.i put my car in park and started it and took the next exit and reported the accident to the police.when i got home i looked up recalls for my jeep and found the v8 engine had a recall on the front control module since the car would stall on the highway.my car is a v6.i took it to the dealership and they could not find anything wrong.i called jeep and they said i should take it to another dealership 50 miles away to "see another doctor to find the problem" in the meantime i have to fix the damage from the rear end collision and thank my luck stars i am still alive to fix it.your campaign number for the recall i referred to is: 08v059000.

For the passed 3 years our vehicle has switched gears from drive to 3rd gear, while driving. The vehicle jolts and changes gear for a few months and returns back to normal. We continue to use it at 3rd gear. There is no way to change it back to drive manually. We've taken it in to auto shops and the symptoms return.

I filed a complaint about 2 weeks ago about an ongoing problem that i've been having with my 2006 jeep commander since january 2009.i am going to be killed in this vehicle which seems to have an electrical problem.the headlights flash on and off which in an age of road rage could get me killed if someone thinks i'm willfully flashing them.all the instrument panel gauges go on and off, the radio and climate control system go on and off; did i forget to say randomly.this is a dangerous situation that chrysler needs to take care of.i've taken it to the dealer but they tell me there's nothing wrong with it.in the past they charged me for the evaluation, now i refuse to keep paying them and have them say "sorry can't find anything on the computer."someone will be liable for the people who will be killed or seriously injured by this defected vehicle.on 12/24/09 on my way home from work it flashed the people before me, i got concerned and switched lanes on the highway; every time i switched lanes they switched before me.i believe they thought i was purposefully flashing them.this is very frustrating.something needs to be done immediately before people are hurt.

This recall has been since 2014. I am a little afraid to drive this jeep for fear it will quit while driving. Other people have already had an accident so how long do we have to wait for a fix. It can also cause the airbags to deploy so that's a real problem. Either fix what u have instead of making more vehicle or buy them back
In heavy rain the sunroof has leaked and created a large puddle of water inside on the front passenger side floor. This incident has now happened twice and when i contacted jeep corporate i was told that it was known issue with some of the jeeps however a recall has not been issued. I again i have to pay to have the leak fixed and have my carpet attended too so that mildew will not become an issue.. Please assist

Jeep commander 2006 limited 5.7 l engine. The complaint is as follows:while driving, at random, slow and medium speeds, all the dashboard lights activate at one time followed by immediate loss of engine power. (at no time did my knee hit the key or ignition cylinder) this issue does not clear up on its own. The only solution to avoid an accident is to immediately put into neutral, pull off the road or highway as quickly as possible. (at this time, the car is sputtering severely or stalls) next step- turn the key to off position, wait a few seconds and re start the vehicle. It starts and runs normally. The loss of power and dash light activation is occurring every other day. Upon my own further investigation, many reports have been logged (with basically the same complaint) on carcomplaints.com, with additional video proof on u tube ( just type in jeep commander dashboard haywire) with several videos of the incident. Chyrsler customer care claims ( as of today) to know nothing about it - told me to call local dealer, local jeep dealer (car was purchased new) was contacted- they claim to now nothing about it. Told both agencies to get off their butt to look at car complaints.com or just view the numerous u tube videos. With this many complaints, i find it surprising that chrysler to not be aware of this issue. I have followed all recalls and had the ignition lock cylinder and reprogram the final drive control module completed many months before problem occurred.any assistance in resolving this serious safety issue would be greatly appreciated.
While driving this vehicle through a stone tunnel on the blue ridge parkway that had no lighting within the tunnel the jeep suffered an total electrical failure and a total blackout took place. Thankful that i was not killed and that no one else was in the tunnel at the time, the jeep was coasted to the outside of the tunnel and off to the side on the grass. Had anyone been coming in either direction i may have had enough light but it was pitch black. I have read of hundreds of electrical failures in this jeep vehicle and wonder why i was never notified. This is a product warranty issue for jeep and it nearly was also responsible for vehicular homicide! the jeep just cut off all electric and not even dashboard lights afforded visual. I have the park rangers report and she said this most likely was total electrical failure. I have pictures from the accident as the jeep hit the stone tunnel side and then the steering rod on the right broke. The insurance company chose to junk the jeep and i was left without even a rental car. I have pictures and the rangers report and my report if requested. How do i contact jeep for a product liability complaint?
My family and i were driving down the highway at 75 mph and without any warning, the engine died. When the engine died, the engine indicator light came on. Power steering and braking were fine at first. I steered the car to the side of the road. Before coming to a stop, the power steering stopped working. Once on the side of the road, i turned the ignition off and then tried to restart the vehicle. The car re-started immediately, however, the engine light remained on. I have taken the car into the shop and the technician was unable to find any problems with the vehicle. ...updated 09/22/15 about one week prior to the above event, i was driving home from the train station on a perfectly dry and clear day and when i was driving, the various traction control lights came on and the car would periodically buck while the rpm's would rev higher for a moment. After arriving home, i turned the car off and parked it in the garage. The nest day when i started it, the traction lights were off and the car appeared to drive normally. The lights that were on were the esp, bas, and the picture of the car sliding. When i took the car in for repair, the dealer couldn't find any issue with the traction system. The same traction issue has happened several more times and has yet to be repaired. Updated 09/29/15

In the 5 years i have owned the 2006 jeep commander it has stalled while driving, stalled while parked.this happens at no set frequency.sometimes it happens daily, other times it will go for months and not happen.the dash lights repeatedly flash off and on.some dash lights don't work at all for months then like magic work fine for months.the vehicle sputters when accelerating all the time and at different speeds.if i am crossing or turining i need to make sure i have like 2 miles between me and oncoming traffic in case it decides to not work that time and i get stuck in the intersection. The cruise control no longer works.luckily the computer went out that controls the cruise so i can't use it.the cruise used to just speed up and slow down on its own.i will be driving along and all of a sudden without notice the car will floor itself and not stop until i put the car in neutral.regardless of what temperature i have the heater set to there is constantly extremely hot air blowing on my feet.i can not drive without shoes on or the hot air literally burns my feet.overall- there are some serious electrical and mechanical issues with the jeep commander.i googled jeep commander and there are hundreds (i am sure thousands) of similar complaints.

November 24 evening leaving fuji (children in car)november 30 morning on way to work ? hit mailbox (baby in car)december 5 morning on way to work ? dies turning out of subdivision and stalls in middle of street (baby in car) there was one other instance when i had all kids with me?it was prior to nov 24 but i do not recall the actual dateall of the instances the engine stalled, the lights (when on) went out, i lost the ability to steer and brake as well.the mph ranged from 4 or 5 mph to 35 mph.there were times when it was warm and days that it was cold.nothing seemed to standout as a possible "trigger"i took car to dealer after the november 24th incident.tony in the service department said there was really nothing that they could do unless it was a problem they could "make happen" when they drove it.a few days later i wrecked into a mailbox when my jeep stalled and i lost steering and braking capability....i am lucky it was not head on with a large truck or a tree.
It started out that the car was acting up, every warning light was illuminated, the speedometer and tachometer were going all over the place (like they were bouncing).we took it in to the dealer and they said we would have to bring the car back in when it was still doing this, because they plugged it in to the computer and couldn't find anything wrong.so to the dismay of my wife we took the car back even though they couldn't find anything wrong with it.about a week later my wife was pulling into the mall (on the 29th of dec.), it was extremely busy, so the mall had flagmen out directing traffic.she was on a downhill ramp waiting for the flagmen to let her go.as she was sitting there stopped the instrument panel started going nuts again.at that moment her foot, which was on the brake went straight to the floor, she had lost all brake pressure in the pedal.as she was pumping the brakes she had to honk and wave to the flagmen that she couldn't stop and to move.she had traveled about a 100 feet and finally came to a stop when the car hit the one that was further downhill from her.we call reuther jeep and told them what had happened and they said to tow the car to their shop and they would give us a rental car.they told me to contact chrysler and have them do an investigation.they did they investigation (without driving the car) plugged it into the computer, and later told me that there was no problem with the car, and we should contact our insurance company.no other explanation was given.i did some searching online and found numerous instances where this seems to be a problem and falls in line with the recall that chrysler had recently done on the 64000+ cars.i don't want this car back, i don't feel it is safe and i fear for my wife and kids that are always in this car.we leased the vehicle i don't see why they should be able to make this right.i just want a safe vehicle for my wife and kids.

Vehicle stalls at random times at random speeds, sometimes while sitting at a stoplight, other times while accelerating , and also while just cruising at freeway speeds. Several times i have lost all power to engine, steering and electronics(lights, gauges radio), and a few times i have only lost power to my electronics and then they kick back on like nothing happened..this is a serious problem that is wide spread throughout the jeep commander community, i seriously seesome lawsuits in the near future due to the accidents this is going to cause...im a second owner of mine and have had it for about 3 months with no problems, then within the last week it has died at least once a day...thank god im still under warranty.

Not so much a complaint but a statement car died while driving down the road with cruise control on due to my knee striking the ignition key, turning it back to the accessory" position as i moved my foot from the accelerator pedal to flat on the floor.this was simply operator error on my part. I' read the other complaints on engine dying, and almost didn't purchase this vehicle due to those, but upon further investigation on my part i felt fairly sure reported problems could be operator error rather than an actual electrical issue.this wasonly my opinion buy based on my actual life experience, the car died while going on the road was due to my own action.i will note that i had zero problems controlling the car after the engine shut off.i simply steered over to the shoulder, put the car in park and restarted it.i probably could have just as easily put the car in neutral and restarted it while coasting on the road. If others get to voice their complaints on this issue i feel i should be allowed this statement on that same type of event so that consumers investigating this vehicle can make more of an informed decision about purchasing one.additionally, my solution to this problem was to simply move my seat back; i am6'3" and i was simply unnecessarily crowding myself.i will also point out that we had just purchased this car 2 days ago, so still getting use to it.
Since purchasing our commander in early 2006, we have experienced no less than 12 incidents of stalling. The vehicle stalled at a complete stop, as well as while driving at approximately 50-65 mpm. We also have experienced extremely sluggish acceleration at highway speed, both situations placing us at in danger of a collision. Finally, when conducting hard turns (similar to a u-turn), the engine will sputter and barely accelerate in traffic situations, several times nearly resulting in a collision.
I live in canada but didn't know who to contact up here.i have a new 2006 jeep commander (3000 kms).this truck has now stalled twice on the freeway while traveling in excess of 100 km/h.both times, the instrument panel goes to zero and i lose all power to brakes and steering.the 2nd time almost caused a crash with my wife and 1 year old in the vehicle.the dealership has looked at it twice now: the first time they couldn't reproduce and the second time they replaced the ignition stating they "hoped" it would fix the problem but were not 100%.i've read all kinds of complaints surrounding this issue on various websites so there are definitely other people being impacted.
I received a safety recall notice in october that said i would receive another one for a defect that needed to be fixed concerning my ignition switch.

We purchased a 2006 brand new jeep commander for safety and reliability reasons. While my wife was driving with our three young daughters on the highway at speeds of 70 mph during the evening hours the vehicle suddenly shut off and lost all power. My wife avoided a serious accident by quickly turning.shelater restarted the vehicle and drove the entire trip on the service road. The dealership could not duplicate the problem. The problem has happened several times since to both my wife and myself. The problem has now been id, it's the location of the ignition key being just above the right knee. While driving the jeepclose caution must be exercised while driving not to hit the key.very dangerous and serious situation.

I purchased a 2006 jeep commander 2 1/2 weeks ago. I have had it into service twice for the annoying whistle that appears to be common on this vehicle, but apparently hard to fix. While i was doing some research on the internet into the whistling problem, i kept reading about another problem that some commander owners were having. When i took my vehicle to the service department, the service manager and i took it out to reproduce the whistle. I brought the other concern to his attention and he tried, and successfully, recreated the problem about 4 times. When the vehicle is running, if you accidentally but barely, tap the key the car shuts off. This requires the driver, if the vehicle is moving at the time, to put it in neutral, turn the key off and then back on. So potentially, a person could be driving on a multi-lane highway, doing 55-65 mph, and accidentally hit the key with their knee. This would shut the vehicle off, causing a loss of power steering. The driver would then, while avoiding driving into other lanes and being rear ended due to the car drastically loosing speed, have to put the car into neutral, turn the key off and then back on. I want to make sure that i make it clear, this has not happened yet to me, but the service manager was able to recreated this while we were sitting in traffic at a red light. He seemed to be quite stunned, and said he was calling jeep that day to report the problem. He also saw this as a huge safety concern. I am trying to be pro-active in this complaint, bringing the problem to others attention before an accident has to occur, perhaps with tragic results.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 10 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning.

The manufacturer was notified of the failure and stated that the vin was included in nhtsa campaign number: 14v438000 (electrical system). The failure mileage was 89,000.
All of my safety warning lights flashed on and off repeatedly. At one point i lost power but turned car off and back on and it ran. Lights have still been flashing. On another occasion in the last month the ignition switchwas knocked accidentally and the car lost power while we were exiting a freeway in the pouring rain. We were able to pull off to the side of the road and restart the car but we were scared to death. I have been told these could be related issues. When i called the dealer all i got was...well we don't have the parts for the recall...no concern for our safety. This concerns me.
This complaint is similar to odi 10178480.the odi 10181086 could also be possibly connected. The design and position of the ignition switch in 2006 jeep commander is such that a slight knee movement might turn the ignition off , resulting in lost of power and power steering. I have experienced this on three different occasions, most recent one while driving on highway i-5 in the left lane at 65 mph, with heavy traffic in the right lane. Luckily enough i was able to slowly steer left onto unpaved median and stop and restart the vehicle. Merging back from median into the left line was extremely dangerous.

There is actually a recall on the ignition switch for my vehicle, p41/nhtsa 14v-438.i have tried several times calling chrysler's group recall assistance center at 800-853-1403 and get automated response that part is not available. Several times over the last few years, mainly while using the cruise control, my knee has hit the switch and the vehicle shuts off. Most times i have been able to start back up right away. However, recently i lost all power and another vehicle was rapidly approaching me from behind and it wouldn't restart, i had to quickly pull off to the side, just narrowly avoiding getting rear ended on the interstate. Now, i have a 15 year old that is starting to drive and it scares me to have my child drive this vehicle. Is there anything you can do to expedite chrysler fixing this problem or possibly buy back this vehicle as it is becoming increasingly unsafe to drive. Please let me know and thank you for your time.

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.
Would driving like 25 mph the car stops and engine shot offalso light coming on the inside and the air conditioned it does t work low you have to put it always until high the way it can startworking also problem with the engine making a noise like rcrccrcrcrcrcrccrclike the manifold or exhaust problems this car is sooo weird i already took it to the private mechanic and they can t do anything cause the manufactured problems.
My commander is stalling while driving. And at times just will not start. Several incidents dating back to years. . i bought this commander new, no miles. One incident i was driving going over 50 mphand all dash board lights came onand it just stalled. Another time stalled sitting at red light and all dash board lights came on and it stalled.and over 10times it just won't start.right now it is broke down, just won't start.over the years i was told it was the starter it was replace 8/3/2010 (i had to pay for starter, labor and towing) then next time i replaced the battery. And still the same problems.i did a check on recalls and found the 2008 commanders was recalled for the same reasons. Why haven'tthe 2006 commanders been recalled?this is a very serious problem. I could be in a wreck when this happens. I have children in my commander age 17 months and 8 months. This problem needs to be recalled and fixed. Chrysler knows this is a existing problem for other year commanders, they fixed them why not mine???and i feel since chrysler accepted this recall in other years and if i wreck chrysler will be responsible for my wreck and any injuries. All i want is for chrysler to fix my commander....
Takata recall my jeep commander has been nothing but trouble since i purchased it i have had all the recalls done by my local jeep dealership and still have to constantly replace wheel speed (abs) sensors and reprogram the computer. At low speeds off aproxamitly 15-20 mph i loose power like the vehicle is trying to starve itself from fuel affecting accelerate so if you pull out into a intersection it practically dies and the. When you go to brake the pedal gets hard and the vehicle keeps rolling i have to replace all 4 wheel sensor (abs) and get computer reprogrammed for it to stop costing hundreds of dollars to do over the time that i have owned the vehicle i have learned to perform such task on my own . But i am sick and tired of every summer having to buy 4 50 dollar sensors and getting charged 125 dollars to redo the computer and not to mention when the jeep decides to act up it put my child and mother to my child in serious danger never knowing when it will misfunction again and like many others i am upside down on the payments of the vehicle due to all the money invested.
My jeeps cuts off going about 70 mph down the highway.i have had to stafford jeep in winchester va 4 times and they can not seem to find the problem.the was a recall on the pcm module but they assure me that the recall was done correctly.now the jeep had throttle control issues.it will speed up and lose power.this has cause other issues as now my jeep is mis firing.stafford jeep wants to charge me for all of this and i believe it has something to do with the control modules.
After having the recalled ignition and tcm replaced/reprogrammed the esp,bas and traction lights come and the two driver side brakes and tires lock up, makes a terrible grinding noise, and the vehicle slides while trying to make a turn. This problem occurs while the vehicle is in motion and without warning.
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.
While driving, the instrument panel began flashing all the warning lights several times for a period of 5 minutes. The warning lights that stayed on afterwards: traction control and electronic stability program and bsp. This could have caused a crash because i was distracted by the malfunction.
In march of 2012, i was driving my 2006 jeep commander v8 on a two lane highway.at the time of the accident, i had been decreasing speed, when the truck in front of me suddenly slammed on his brakes. However, when ipressed down hard on my brakes, my brakes/anti-lock brakes completely failed, causing me to crash into the truck in front of me. While trying to brake, my car stalled and continued to propel forward, causing a lack of steering capability, inevitably causing a crash, in which my air bags did not deploy. After the police arrived, i was able to start the car and barely made it home, having to push it several blocks. My suv went into the shop for almost one month. After my suv was fixed, including exterior and radiator, the suv continued to overheat without cause and it was now considered a total loss. I was not prepared for my vehicle to be considered a total loss as the issues appeared to be minor. I endured major hardship as a result on this accident, including lack of work and occurred at an inopportune time for me to buy a new vehicle, resulting in a high interest rate and skyrocketing insurance, since i was considered at fault, despite lack of being cited due to vehicle issues. After 2 yrs, i finally was able to refinance my car; however, my insurance will remain high til feb 2015 @$314 (35 mos). I did not realize why the vehicle's braking and stalling occurred as i was not made aware of the recall until july 2014! if recalls occurred in 07-09, why was i not informed prior to this accident? this accident could have been prevented! when i called to speak to chrysler, they said that there was nothing that they could do because the car was scrapped. I do not understand why some people can be compensated for issues, but i am disregarded despite the ongoing hardship caused by a defect caused by chrysler! is there anyone out there that can help!?
Often my whole electrical system will flash on and off and has since jan 2009. Three timessince march of last year vehicle has turned its self off while driving (complete steering loss), fortunately at low speed. Also, in 2010 ( i have repair receipt) my transmission control module went out. I had to pay a $200 copay per request of jeep to have it replaced, after much argument. They said my particular 2006 jeep commander wasn't part of the recall, as was all other failing parts included on 2006 commander recalls, excepting ignition.still waiting on ignition fix, its been a year.
On june 25, 2012 while driving w/b on i10 on my way to a appointment in baldwin park, ca. My vehicle started acting violently, dash board cluster warning lights flickering, stalling, steering and abs not responding normally.pulling off the highway i called my husband immediately i told him there is a serious safety issues with the car the need to be fixed. My husband analyzed the car with a hand held device which gave him a manufacturer code of "u1411". He drove on surface streets to the local dealer service for diagnostic, no problems were found? everything was fine? driving it home the issue continued? my husband rediagnosed the issues and it seems to be a "faulty ignition switch" that needs to be addressed! vehicle will shut-off on its own at any time!
The car jumps and then stalls when it is idling in reverse or drive. It also will accelerate on its own and the brakes are hard to press. This happens when the lighting bolt appears and the anti side lights on the dash, then the care either doesn't respond to pressing the gas and is harder to press the brakes. I have to restart the car for it to work. This all began after recalls being updated, it has been diagnosed as my power train control modual and that it has been recalled in other vehicles for the same reasons but there is no recall attached to my vin according to chrysler. Ive done research online and numerous other jeep commanders and other jeep modules made around the same time are having the same issue. The problem is on going and has been for over a year but has gotten much worse after fixing of recalls a few months ago. The date below is estimate of when the recall was fixed.
We were traveling home on the interstate going about 75 mph, and all of a sudden everything lights up on the dashboard, and my jeep commander starts shutting down without warning!we had to coast off of a exit ramp, and were thankful we did not get smacked from behind or killed! this is the third time that this happened to me.one other time i was taking my child to school, and it just shut off without warning while the truck was in motion, and i had to coast off to the side to a cvs pharmacy parking lot!another problem with this particular truck is that the door handles are poorly made.all of my door handles just started crumbling one by one and will not open from the inside.i have already put in a complaint about the door handles to nhtsa.the last complaint that i have is when it rains heavily, a huge puddle will dampen my passenger side because water is backed up in the sunroof drains. Jeep has cheated a lot of people with this jeep commander!it has too many problems to count and everything cost more than what the jeep is worth!i will never deal with chrysler, jeep, dodge again!they are a bunch of crooks!nhtsa please do something !this broken door handle issue and shutting off without warning is going to get someone seriously hurt or killed!
Jeep commander stalls at driving speeds in which has almost caused 3 vehicle accidents, bas esp and traction control light is on and malfunctioned, all wheel drive malfunction. Dealer claims internal fault in front control module.
March of 2009 we experienced a problem with our 2006 jeep commander with the electronics in the vehicle shutting down causing the vehicle to stall. We took it into our local dealership where they informed us that the problem was with the shifter module and that it had to be replaced. Well $2500 later and missing parts we requested to keep our vehicle was back in our possession with the problem still happening. Not as severe as what it had been prior to sending it in, however still happening. This evening my husband was driving home from work when this happened again. Only this time the abs went out and the brakes started pumping for no reason, as well as the vehicle stalling out while driving 110kmph. When home we reviewed recalls recommended for 2006 jeep commanders and there is one where it describes the symptoms our vehicle is having in quite detail. Amongst investigating further it was determined that out particular vehicle was not included in the recall although experiencing the same problems.
I have a 2006 jeep commander 4.7. Last month after coming home from another state, the car parked for several days while i was out of town it would not crank when i went to start it... Just the clicking sound. My boyfriend jumped it and it overheated his cable. Then it happened after sitting just overnight, same scenario. I did not leave anything on like lights, etc. I had the battery checked and it was fine. It began to happen more frequently (several nights in a row). Took it into a dealer and he replaced a few parts but nothing changed. Then the battery started draining after sitting for 15 minutes with the ignition off. Took it to a friend who's an auto mechanic, he said something was discharging from somewhere.
Sept 2013 -- stalled, shut down, no start. No restart. Piston was replaced.car never worked properly after incident.jeep would pulsate when slowing down or stopped. April 2014 -- stalled, shut down, no start. Car stalled while driving at approximately 25mph. Battery and solenoid/starter. June 2014 -- no start, transmission over temp". Jeep would start for very short period, over-heat and shut down.hoses and water pump replaced. Blower motor replaced. July 2014 -- stalled, shut down, no start. Dealership can't find any problems.had tune-up; replaced spark plugs, etc. Engine light on.dash lights would come on and shut completely off while driving. After car was shut off it wouldn't restart. Windows wouldn't work or if they finally engaged would go up and down sporadically.car horn came on by itself and wouldn't shut off until relay was taken out. Sept 2014 -- stalled, shut down, no start .starter replaced, new battery.car started hesitating while driving.dash lights would all come on and then all shut off.when coming to a stop or slowing down car would lose power. While coming to an intersection to make a left turn on a green turn arrow car wouldn't engage to excel.my 7 year old daughter was in the car.i feared we were going to stall in the middle of theintersection of a busy street.all the dash lights came on and shut off repeatedly as we coasted around the turn. Got a new battery. Car still wouldn't start. Dealership replaced solenoid/starter. Sept 2014 -- hesitates, lights on dash on and off, engine light on, dealership can't find any problems. Again, dashboard lights came and all shut off.jeep is/was hesitating while driving and not engaging / changing gears while driving.also, periodically accelerates randomly while driving.dealership suggests replacing control module and having wiring harness diagnosed.
Driving my jeep commander from topeka,ks to manhattan,ksdrove on the high way when accelerated the vehicle began to jerk and or began a rocking motion. The vehicle jerked or rocked every so often not consistent but very randomly did not notice a pattern. The vehicle did not drive well and felt very unsafe to drive on the high way.
While driving down the road the vehicleengine 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 ihad 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
In june of 2011 i was driving down the fwy at 70mph when the engine turned off steering wheel locked and i has to coast off the fwy luckily it was night and little traffic (california is known for heavy fwy traffic.it started again early 2012 this time the transmission would not shift at appropriate times and rev the engine while maintaining speed in any gear and would do that for 5-7 days in a row and then run normally (this still occurs at least once a month) dealership and other mechanics could not find an issue and basically stated the engine was running hot and the fan had not kicked in no the case since this was winter time when it began.as recently as april of 2014 it began turning off completely when slowly coming to a stop anywhere on the fwy at a signal going uphill, downhill, parking in a parking space and this happens every day all day long - it never does not do it.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.
My jeep didn't pull correctly, it back fire and wind. We took it to chrysler to get it fix. The mechanic told us that the solenoid went bad... So were charged $405 for a converter, $357 for a solenoid, $7.75 for a sealer, and $3.60 for a nut none... Total labor and parts $1930.31... Today we go to pick it up, and it still makes the same noise and the problem worsen. We left it there to be fixed again... At the moment we are out of $2000, no car, and then had the nerve to tell me it was something else wrong with my car and it'll be $800 more to fix it. Needless to say,i told them i wanted to speak with the owner, he said he'll call me back.. Not even two minutes later, he goes... "we'll take care of it...
Below is what i sent to jeep. I have their respondents in my email. I can proved as requested.this correspondence is to document my concern with the safety of my jeep commander; year 2006, make ltd, vin [xxx]. There is an electrical issue that is causing various components of the vehicle to malfunction. Examples of these episodes are the following: the a/c cutting in and out, the dashboard flickering on and off, the speedometer flickering radically up and down, the audio center turning on and off, headlights to flicker, the turning signals to not correctly operate.?i recently replaced the audio unit because the malfunction caused the unit to blow. The problem has been occurring since 2012; initially the occurrences were rare but have been increasing in consistence and escalating since then.i tried addressing the issue on 6.12.2012 at chapman scottsdale autoplex.the problem continued. I tried readdressing 05.01.2014 at chapman scottsdale autoplex. I have incurred direct cost of approximately $275 and have supporting documentation to support. Chapman scottsdale autoplex is stating that i need to replace a dimmer switch for a cost of $229.00. I am not confident that is will resolve the issue and neither is the dealership. I originally purchased the vehicle at royal gate dodge chrysler jeep, inc. On 04.24.2009. I believe this issue is a matter that the manufacture should address and resolve. These occurrences are not routine maintenance items. I would prefer to address this matter without filing a formal correspondence to national highway traffic safety administration. I will be providing a copy of this correspondence to my attorney [xxx]&for record purposes. Please respond to this correspondence within seven business of receipt. I look forward to resolving this matter.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
While raining water drains into vehicle from sunroof causing electrical problems. Lights constantly flickering, dashboard lights constantly turning on and off, interior water damage, rusting inside components. This incident happens constantly forcing me to keep headlights on high beam at all times while the car is stationary as well as in motion on streets as well as highways. This problem causes unnecessary problems being that while the car is going through this the turning signals, wiper blades, air conditioning turn off and on. Even though my car was serviced under warranty for rear seatbelts the belts are constantly jamming keeping my children captive and at some points it will not successfully latch.
The problem started in january 2019. The vehicle started having idling issues, cold start in morning idlesaround 900, when put in reverse it dips to around 500 and wobbles back and forth while backing up, put in drive and it would be ok but would stall sometimes at stop sign- check engine light never came on. I had throttle body cleaned and fuel system service done and the engine light came on same day. Took it to the dealer for recalls and they replaced throttle body also. It drove ok for a day and i have the unstable idle back and the rpm jumps up while in drive but stopped at a light. About a week ago i am slowing down to stop at a light ahead and it starts vibrating like it is going to stall and the etc and tcs light came on and i shut it off and it cranked right back up and drove it the rest of the day with no issue. Etc light will come on while driving and cause no issues other than the unstable idle. Today-5-10-19, coming home and start to turn left and etc and tcs light come on and it seems like it is in limp mode because there is a loss of power and etc light is now blinking, so i pull in a parking lot, cut it off for five minutes and it cranks right back up with no lights on and i am able to drive 5 miles home.
See doc i had to replace engiine and now the company that did might responsible for it as well need a attorney or a bbb for help
To whom this may concern, i called back in late 2014 about a problem i was having, i was told that when the part was made i would receive a call to bring my car in to be fixed. Well it keeps on happening again in january and now more then three time in february. I am now going to be incontact with a lawyer and together we will be documenting everything. I am a family of five and my car is not safe. Your company is giving me the run around and it is your responsibility. These things that are happening with my car is filed from the national highway traffic safety administration with recall report electrical system, electrical system: ignition: switch and rear seat belts. My car keeps on shutting off. I have had myself and my children in the car when this has happened. I saved us too many times. There has been timeswhen my car shut down and i lost breaks and steering. There was multi times when i am driving and all of my lights start going crazy. Now i have a problem that i tried starting my car and the lights go on but my ignition will not turn on the car. Another phone call was made to the corporate office and the dealership to complain again. We where told that theyare still waiting for the parts to come in they are on back order. Every day i have to drive this car with and without my childrenwe are at risk. Your responsible, i have had two otherjeeps and lovedthem never had a problem like this before. So i don't know what else to do i need to work and transport my children toand fromdifferent school/sports activities. If something happens to me or my family it will lie on you and your company. Enough is enough i am scared for my life and my children please help me!!!!!
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.
Takata recall : my commander is having an issue where all the gears light up on the dash at the same time and power to the vehicle slows down drastically. The steering wheel is hard to control when this happens. The dash lights up service park assist system.the vehicle is in motion when this happens.
2006 jeep commander stalled while on the highway and would not move. The vehicle towed to a service facility. The torque converter in the transmission came apart. The vehicle had 60,000 miles on it. Chrysler was no help at all. Transmission was replaced at a cost of $3200.
2006 jeep commander limited 4wd. 179,000 miles.traction assist is activating while driving straight on dry pavement causing unexpected deceleration power loss.while driving on flat dry paved highway, at approximately 40-45 mph, the vehicle began to stumble and lose power.the traction control light was blinking during this time.during which time, when i turn off the traction assist via the button, the effect disappeared.no fault codes were stored or set.this issue has just begun to occur periodically and has happened approximately 5 times.have almost had a crash event occur when trying to merge into traffic, and had to turn off the traction assist via the button on the center console.
I purchased my jeep commander on february 12, 2014. A week after i purchased it my check light came on so i took it back to the dealership. It was for my catalytic converter. The people in the garage stated it was just a sensor and not to worry about it i told them to fix it while it was still covered under my warranty. They wouldn't. The next day all of the dome lights and dashboard lights in my truck started flickering while driving down the road. (still does it to this day). Soon after my brakes went out on me while driving down the road with my kids so i had to get the calipers and everything changed. Next it was the windows they all stopped working. The end of january 2015, while driving down the road again with my children, all of the lug nuts and bolts fell off of my tire rear passenger side tire. I ended up calling the tow truck and took it back to the dealership where i bought it. $2500 and two weeks later i get my truck back, have it for a day & it starts jerking on my way to work. They fixed everything that had to do with my tires and suspension. They also inform me i need my catalytic converter changed after they told me not to worry about it it's just the sensor acting funny. (it could've been fixed when i asked them to do it while it was covered under my warranty) now my lights start flashing my wheel speed sensors aren't working and is messing with my abs system and traction. They just tell me to shut the traction off while i'm driving it should fix the problem. I end up taking it back in the shop. A month later i'm driving home from work and my serpentine belt busts and i lose control of my truck. Another $500 dollar job. Present day, my truck is back in the shop for a routine brakes and rotors fix and they call and say i need my outer tirods fixed and rear axle something. I've put more money into this truck than i've paid for it in the past year.
The first time wasturning in store all dash lights and engine light on only had jeep week,then find out recall take to dodge ,chrysler they do not know how fix yet.nextesp,bas and engine lights place i bought said bring monday they will check it then on way home it cuts off while moving manage stop.we hope all this covered by chrysler.
Transmission stop shifting properly and shuttering in motion..took it to transmission shop, they said transmission needed replaced. Got new transmission, still had same problem. Took it back to shop, they did a second repair and charged me $2959.50. They didnt described what they did the second time. I had no problems since..so far.
While driving home on the interstate my vehicle's console started blinking in about 2 minutes laterthe console completely powered off shutting down my vehicle. I was going over a bridge there was no shoulder to pull out into. I held on wheel and prayed made it .3 miles samething happened again wheel freezes and brakes will not work. Almost caused cars behind me to slam into me. Thank god at this point i had already turned on my hazard lights and the cars had a good distance from me. I have never in my life been more scared. Iam the mother of two children and now refuse to put my kids in this death trap. I have contacted jeep just to be told there is not a part yet for recall of ignition switch. This car is not drivable. Iam terrified and cant afford a rental or a new car. How can jeep be allowed to make us drive this things. The recall has been out for several months and yet nothing has been done.
While driving down a service road, my 2006 jeep commander stalled and the check engine light came on.it would not restart, and was towed to the dealership.the dealership says that the valve and valve seating came loose, and fell into my cylinder, damaging the piston.they are now saying that i need a new engine, as mine has too much damage to repair.i contacted jeep customer care, and they are unwilling to repair the damage.the vehicle cost $12,500 and the new engine, only 2 months after purchasing it, will cost roughly $7,000 without including labor. From my research, this is a fairly common problem, that jeep knows about, but is unwilling to fix.

Vechile will turn off while running and brakes and steering will go out,randomly lights,ac and deck lights will flicker on and off. Over temp transmission goes off randomly.
While driving and turning a left corner resulted in loss of engine power, power steering, and braking.this has happened on several occasions and we have stopped driving the family vehicle due to this safety issue which is not deemed safe to drive especially up and down hills....we had to purchase another vehicle since the recall fix is still not available and won't be for over 1 year!

2006 jeep commander idling up on its own and engine made a loud noise.*mwthe dealer informed the consumer, the noise was normal for a hemi engine.the consumer was then informed, the problem was the throttle. Also when it rained, the consumer discovered water on the driver's side floor. The dealer was unable to find a leak.
Exhaust manifold bolts broken allowing gases into the passenger compartment.
Sept 7 the engine just cut out of gear and stopped running had to pull over tothe side of the road before being hit from behind as it stalled.pulled over shut off the engine, restarted it and it was firm...drove a few miles and the light went off.the same thing just happened again on i-95 in baltimore traveling at 65 mph.

2006 jeep commander limited 5.7l v8 message as appears on dash - transmission over temp while driving a short distance the message transmission over temp appears, the fan kicks on high & is very loud, and it feels like the transmission disengages like being thrown into neutral, but is still drivable. About 2 weeks prior, i noticed smoke coming out from under hood & the engine coolant tank was almost empty. There were no visible leaks on carport. I refilled the tank & immediately called kilby automotive repair shop, then took it in. They said that the radiator cap needed to be replaced. The also said the valve cover gasket was leaking. They replaced the radiator cap & made an appointment for june 3rd to replace the valve cover gasket. Before that appointment the vehicle started displaying the transmission over temp message. I took it into kilby automotive on may 27, 2021. They said it was a faulty transmission temperature sensor, but they could not repair. They have done a lot of repairs on the vehicle for several years.i called ultimate luxury auto service explaining the issue. The man said that he could put a new sensor in & there is a broken transmission mount. He replaced the sensor. Fix mount later. When i was driving home, the same message appeared & the fan kicked on as before. I messaged the shop & took the vehicle back in. They put a 2nd sensor in, drove it & received the same transmission over temp message. They returned the 2 new sensors & put my original sensor back in. They said they were sorry they could not fix it & dropped the price of repairs. I entered the make, model, & message online & found out a lot of people have the same problem. Some people have said they replaced numerous parts & it did not fix it, and others say they replaced the pcm. I am disabled and do not want to be stranded or have a vehicle fire. I am afraid that it would pose a risk to me & others, as transmission oil can ignite on hot surfaces and cause a fire in the engine.

The vehicle was taken to a private mechanic, who stated that the cylinder head had failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted about the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.
Upon starting the vehicle heard to be what sounded like a loud exhaust leak under the passenger side of the engine. While driving the noise seemed to lessen / go away. Upon doing research many reports that if you hear an "exhaust leak" upon start up then fade away, it could be a possibility that the exhaust manifold bolts have broken. I took it upon myself to look under the hood on the passenger side while the vehicle was cold, and low and behold the bolt that goes through the heat shield and manifold and into the engine block was cracked in two pieces separating the manifold from the block. I call my mechanic, he said bring it down right away, he looked at it and saw that there was 2 bolts broken on the passenger side. Again many complaints from customers online about the same problem, and the only way to fix this issue is to lift the engine out of the vehicle to drill out the broken bolts that are stuck in the block. Now. My mechanic tries everything all sorts of angle tools, other tools and cant remove the bolts, so the only thing left to do is lift the engine. I have the engine lifted and find that there were more bolts broken on the driver side as well. I go to the dealer and buy all new "upgraded bolts" ( as the dealer specified) for this along with gaskets, rear main seal, fan clutch, oil pan gasket etc. I explain to the dealer the problem and they admit to the problem but there's no recall on the 4.7l only on the hemi for the broken manifold bolts. I ask what was the problem. The dealer replied " the manufacturer installed the wrong grade bolts from the manifold to the block." now i'm out almost $3500 for parts and labor for a known problem that hasn't been recalled, this is something chrysler/jeep should be on top of considering this is an ongoing issue. This is my second jeep, and i'm not sure i'd purchase another one.

I bought my 1st new car ever hoping to keep it forever. I treat it very well all services done on time and with top quality product. At 105,000 miles my valve dropped in the engine ruining the complete block. This happened in my driveway as i started it to leave. Costing me 8,278.40 to replace my engine. After this i have learned this is a common problem to which chrysler has yet to admit fault! i will hold out hope and keep paying that engine bill fingers crossed someday they will compincate me.
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.
I have just purchased this used 2006 jeep commander 1 week ago. The vehicle is in great condition, no previous accidents, no engine lights/error codes. On the 2nd day of owning the jeep i experienced my first stall, and since then 4 more stalls. There is no engine lights, error codes, etc. The vehicle seems to be 100% okay, however the vehicle has just shut off 4 times losing brakes, steering, lights, etc - whether i am moving or at a stop. At first i thought "i must have bought a lemon" but i have been reading through several forums and blogs that there are 100's if not 1,000's of people who are experiencing the same issue with their 5.7l hemi commander, and some of the blogs date back to 2006 when these vehicles were brand new with less than a thousand miles on them. One person actually suffered an accident due to this electrical issue - losing control of steering and brakes. Because their is no engine codes or lights dealerships are not assessing the issue at all or are just throwing parts at it hoping it is fixed and charging the customer a boat load of money. Several people have identified that the issue potentially resides in the pcm and the ignition coils, some say that the coils put of an em interference that is disrupting the pcm. Regardless - chrysler needs to get this fixed so no one else gets hurt, or killed.
At 100k with no warning, engine runs hot, i wait for 30 min to cool down.. Drive again and it runs hot.. Mechanic says head gasket blown..smdh.. Along with that it was raining and the sunroof starts leaking. 8 months prior i had to replace the transmission. What a jeep and i am still paying on it.!! the jeep people needs to recall these and at least reimburse people, now im stuck with buying a 5000 engine on a set income...basically couldve bought a brand new car with the funds i put out so far..
My car stalls while turning or idling at stop lights.i know there was a recall for this however the dealership says my vin isn't included however it has stalled 10 times this month.
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.
I was driving down the interstate and the engine completely shut off. One of the scariest things i have ever experienced. Luckily traffic was minimal at the time, but in traffic, it could have been a huge disaster.
P41 recall.before recall my 2006 jeep commander turned off on its own numerous times. This resulted in engine shut down, no electrical system, etc. I have contacted chrysler several times. I get the same response, part not available. Why?i am told the supplier does not have part. Why not?. This is an old recall, however chrysler is repairing or buying back newer models of vehicles due to faulty design. 2006 jeep commander recall is just as serious as newer recalls. The faulty ignition switch results in entire shut down of jeep, including air bags.i was told to adjust seat so that knee does not make contact with keys in ignition. What?i suggest thatvehicles with faulty ignition switch be a part of the chrysler buy back or repair immediately. Also, to avoidfurther serious accidents and possible death resulting form faulty ignition switch.
1.it leaks.whenever there is rain i have 2-3 inches of water in the front foot area on both sides.in addition to that water leaks through the lining and front pillars of the truck landing on the dashboard.what is this about?this not only results in my time to drain out the water it also leads to a gross musty smell.after a rain i can hear the water swishing back and forth in ht roof of my car.this is rediculous.further this issue has done something to the electrical system.2.the electrical system. The driver's side door window/lock/mirror switches no longer work. So that means that the driver's side window hasn't been down in forever.that makes life quite difficult.the next electrical problem is that for no apparent reasons lights come on.as i driving the interior lights just start to shine bright all of them at the same time. One night i woke up at three in the morning to find my headlights on.i tried to turn them off but couldn't.it eventually wore the battery out.lastly electronics wise is my dashboard lights flicker crazy.3.the door handles.behind the actual door handle is plastic.this has all broken away.i am sure it is just a matter of time before i can open the doors at all.4.it just stops running.five times now as i am driving (streets or highway) the truck has just shut down.fortunately it starts right back up but this is extemely dangerous. This form asks for dates...all of this is ongoing.
All of my safety warning lights flash on and off repeatedly. When this happens my car electrical things turn off including the ac,radio and everything else. The engine how ever did not. The car kept running but everything else stalled and turned off and on.. The first time was on the street but it continued even on the freeway going 60 mph. I took to dealer and they stated nothing is wrong. They could not find anythin. They even put in on the computer machine and nothing. I have only had vehicle for 2 months and im very worried. I have no other transportation and have to drive the vehicle to work and my kids around.i have a video of how the car kept doing that. If someone can contact me , i would be more than happy to send the vehicle video over.
Driving to work at an intersection. In the midst of turning left on to the road to my work parking lot... My car stalled on me.again, i was in an intersection with on coming traffic. No lights came on (warning lites) no weird sounds , no jerking - just stalled. Started back up once i turned the key off and then on again.

The vehicle check engine light comes on and the car stalls out no matter how fast you are going. Everything dies, including power steering. I have to coast over to the side of the road and turn the car off and then restart it and it runs fine for awhile. There is no rhyme or reason to it. I have been driving on the highway going 80 mph and the check engine light comes on and it just shuts off. I have also been on side roads going 35-40 mph and it happens. It always restarts and then it happens again. I had all the spark plugs replaced in 2012 and it worked fine for awhile, probably about 5,000 miles, then it happened again out of the blue in 2014. I don't drive the car very often because it is too dangerous. I've almost caused several accidents on the highway from a sudden slow down from the engine dying and decelerating rapidly. I've written a complaint in 2012, never heard anything and now i am writing again.

I was stopped at an intersection. When i proceeded to go across the intersection, the vehicle started going but very slowly no matter how much i pressed the accelerator and there were cars coming at me. It drove very slowly for a couple of blocks and i came to another stop.as i started to go into the intersection again, the vehicle started off very slowly even with the accelerator to the floor. As i proceeded it went a little faster but not much faster. My daughter informed me that this same thing happened to her earlier when she was driving the jeep and she turned it off and she cut it off completely then restarted it and it ran fine. I proceeded to do the same thing(cutting it off completely and turning it back on) and it ran well again. When i took it to the dealership, they sad that they were unable to duplicate the same problem and can not fix what they can't find.

Approx 2miles from work - making a right hand turn at a light. Hazards on - taking precaution... Car behind me. Once i make the turn my car completely shuts off again. No brakes not steering -nothing... My car just happened to coast to the right as it is.... Car behind missed me by an inch of slamming into me. Waited a good 1/2 hour - my husband came and drove it the rest of the way to the work parking lot. I called jeep in lugoff sc and like every other dealership out there - they have no memory of hearing of any 2006 - 2007 jeep commander problems. I have called chyrsler care 8009921997- dealerships... They all make me out to be crazy. I am going to report them to the bbb as well. I have 3 children - 9,8, and 20 mths old. Chrysler must be waiting for someone to get killed.... I normally take the hwy to work - but today for some reason i decided to head to work on a back road. .... I can not believe with all the issues and complaints i have read about this same problem - that it is even legal to sell this car used,...

Jeep commander stalls at driving speeds in which has almost caused 3 vehicle accidents, bas esp and traction control light is on and malfunctioned, all wheel drive malfunction. Dealer claims internal fault in front control module.
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.
As i have now read online of hundreds of complaints regarding the same problem... I was driving down the hwy at 70 mph, the engine just quit on my and everything shutdown.i was able to move the car to the side (without and power steering) and stop completely, take out the key, reinsert it and it started up.no problems after that until i was driving the hwy again in september and it did it again with the same results.i have now taken it to the dealership (wolfchase jeep in germantown, tn) and they are replacing the map sensor and a couple of other things - including a manifold gasket - for a total of $1000.interestingly when i asked the service rep. If jeep has a problem with this, he denied any knowledge of such a problem!

For the passed 3 years our vehicle has switched gears from drive to 3rd gear, while driving. The vehicle jolts and changes gear for a few months and returns back to normal. We continue to use it at 3rd gear. There is no way to change it back to drive manually. We've taken it in to auto shops and the symptoms return.
While driving a highway speed the engine stalled.has happened multiple times since the first incident.all power is lost and i have to pull over to the side of the road.engine does restart.
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.
All the electrical on my dash most the time is lines and flickers, but decides to show up once in a while for a minute or two. My big problem is starting the car. It does this click click sound most the time but then starts once in a while out of the blue. I have bought a new battery and alternator within the last year. It also slams from gear to gear! i have had four different diagnostic tests done by different places & i have been fighting with this for a couple years!
October, 2013 received notification that there was a safety recall on my 2006 jeep commander. (as i have 6children, this was a priority to have fixed) i brought my jeep into the dealership to have the n23 safety recall performed. Come january, 2014 i attempt to activate my 4 wheel low and i get a service light stating "service 4wd". I contact the dealership who had performed the recall and bring it in to be looked at. They run a diagnosis and determine the truck has an internal short in the transfer case. The service tech advised me it is related to the recall but he can not do anything at the dealer level. I need to call chrysler customer service who tells me they will not be doing anything to help. Upon a little research (jeep forums) it seems there are many (many) others with the same issues. I am sure i am not the only one to call jeep with this issue and if you clear the codes the 4 wheel low engages so it is not a short. I believe chrysler jeep should look into what was performed with the n23 recall and determine how it effected the 4 wheel low on these vehicles. Then reprogram them to work, as they were, at no cost to the owner. Since this was a safety recall i felt i had no option but to have the recall performed on my vehicle now i have a faulty vehicle.dealer tells me they need to update 4 wheel drive but cant do it because it is not in the recall this has gone on for way 2 long . I am going to file a complaint with the better business and i ask everyone with this same problem doit also please complain somewhere so something can be done.
While driving the car will shift off for no reason. It appears to be something wrong i have a new battery and don't now why it's losing power.. It cuts off while driving and when i made a turn but also while driving straight . Also the wheels feels like they are wobbly while driving in the front.
Jeep started making a ticking noise randomly one day. I made an appointment with the local dealership and they explained the the exhaust manifold bolts were broken on both sides. Very strange considering that my jeep have never been off-road. After doing some research it has become very obvious that this is an issue with all of the chrysler vehicles with the 4.7l v8. The company doesn't try to help with the cost and actually charges an astronomical amount to repair something that i consider bad engineering on their part. The broken bolts cause an exhaust leak that can now be detected within the car and i think is potentially dangerous for the passengers. With the bolts broken it also allows the exhaust manifold to warp cause addition damage that now needs to be repaired/replaced.

Engine idles when stopped and sometimes the jeep lunges forward.lights on dash come on intermittently.tires keep needing replaced even when getting the jeep continually balanced and rotated.they wear down on the outer rim of front tires only.

My family (husband & 2 small children) were driving home on the miami turnpike in crazy traffic. We hit a spot on the road where 2 roads meet and the engine complitley turned off. I freaked out because a car was behind me and it was busy traffic. Once my senses kicked in i started wiggling the key and turned it and the car started back up. I did not want to drive home! my husband called jeep and they were closed. I called the recall line this morning at 8:00 am and the service was horrible. I was told it is my prerogative to keep driving because they have no fix. I let them know the vehicle is not safe to drive. The supervisor told me there was no fix they could put me on an email list for when a fix is avavilable!!!! are you kidding? then i said what if we die in an accident and sue and she said that's your families prerogative if they want to sue!!!!! i asked to speak to a different supervisor and she flat out said no i have helped you and i will not let you speak to another supervisor!!!!!!

Turned vehicle off at store, came out to start it and while i was in the store a valve seat fell out of the cylinder head into the cylinder. Engine now needs an entire rebuild costing half of the book value of the vehicle. Upon research online, this is a very common problem with these engines specific to 2006-2007. From what i have read it was due to a known issue from a vender that supplied the cylinder heads.
While traveling at highway speed and after about 1.5 hours of continuous highway operation, the vehicle stalled without warning. I was able to safely move to the emergency lane and brake to a stop. I placed the vehicle in park, turned the key to off, and re-started without incident.since the first occurrence, this has happened almost daily, always at highway speeds and sometimes while on a curve. This occurs during my daily commute, which is approximately 20 miles, each way.

I was driving and when i accelerated the car seemed very sluggish and hesitant to switch gears. As i approached the stop light and came to a stop i noticed the car stalled. So i turned it off and restarted it. This has happen twice now that the car has just stalled. I have now noticed that since this incident my car has been idling rough and has been vary sluggish while driving, especially up hills. I am worried for my safety that this will happen again while i am driving.
Engine shut off while driving on a winding road.loss of steering and brakes became a potentially catastrophic problem.this is the second occurrence of this type in the past month.our mechanic is scratching his head.
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!
While driving on the highway, at highway speed the car shut off with out warning. While driving the car on the street or pulling out my driveway the car will shut off with out notice / warning
My beloved jeep commander suddenly shut off while driving at 40mph.with no prior problems or warning signs the engine completely stalled- instantly i lost both power steering & brakes. Needless to say i was terrified. After much confusion & hassle i was told to replace my key. (reason being the 'chip' inside was malfunctioning.) i replaced the $270 key which solved nothing. To my surprise, many commander owners experience this same problem with no help from jeep. Not only do jeep dealerships ignore the potential recall warning on the commander, but they actually recommend expensive 'solutions' that do not even touch the known problem. It seems as though there are no solutions for this faulty system, given that no dealership can successfully stop the shutting off. There are way too many owners experiencing the same dangerous stall. I cannot in good conscience ignore the fact that this problem goes beyond inconvenience; this is potentially very dangerous and the jeep commander needs to be recalled.

On christmas i backed the jeep out of the driveway so i could drive my truck. Bumped the curb slightly while parking and vehicle died. Started right back up so i didn't think much of it. Today my wife took the kids to school in it and ran fine. Parked for two hours and went to start and it will crank but not turn over. Fuel gauge doesn't read correctly. At full it says half a tank and while you are driving it may drop to below empty with a full tank. I have been reading all the reports about the 2006 commander and a lot of people seem to be having this starting problem. I haul my family around in it because we can't all fit in my truck but i don't feel safe in it because you never know when it's gonna cut out and die. My kids range from 1 week to 11 and i don't really want them in it. I'm thinking it a fuel pump or wiring issue. Both issues occurred in my driveway or right in front of my house.

I think its terrible how jeep/chrysler cant fix a recall...when families got to drive a car that they know there's something wrong with them....since sept..everytime i stop at a red light or a stop sign my jeep turns off..i have to put it in park and start it up again....i cant drive it on the highway because of this...and dealerships say they don't have the parts to fix it....so chrysler making the money they make cant help people trying to make a living when all they have is only one car and its a car they made...

At highway speed, the engine died forno apparent reason. The engine could be re-started after placing the car in park. The condition occurred twiceon the 11th and once on the way to work this morning.
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 upand 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.
Vehicle stalls randomly, losing power brakes and steering. This is a major safety issue.unfortunately, there needs to be solid a resolution as people can't spend tons of money on what the issue "might" be and then get back on the road in this death trap to only have it stall again.
On all 2006 and 2007 jeep commander's with 4.6 4.7 and hemi engines have an issue with exhaust manifold bolts breaking, requiring extensive repair, which can cost in the thousands. The internet is full of this issue and it is known with all dealers, but chrysler themselves ignore it. If the issue isn't fixed because of the pricethe engine can have more issues due to the bolts. Please look into this issue since the company that makes the vehicle wont. Even on there own forum it states "jeep commander problemmodel years affected: 2006, 2007engines affected: 3.7l v6, 4.7l v8, 5.7l v8 hemiaverage mileage: 79,474 mi (40,000 mi - 154,000 mi)verified3.7 v6 and 4.7 v8 engines may develop exhaust leaks due to broken exhaust manifold bolts. Exhaust manifold gaskets and bolts should be replaced as necessary.
While traveling on an expressway in central michigan, i was using the cruise control to maintain a speed of 75 mph.with no warning at all, the mechanical components of the vehicle shut down, leaving my jeep "dead in the highway".i was able to steer and brake, but the vehicle would not respond to acceleration by pressing the gas pedal.i pulled off to the shoulder, luckily without incident.turned the key to the "off" position and waited about 10 seconds.i turned the key to the "on" position and it started back up.i cautiously drove at a considerably slower speed until i was able to get to a rest stop.when i got to my destination i found a local auto parts store and had them do a diagnostic check.it showed a maf sensor gone bad.mass air flow sensor was replaced.hoping that was the issue, after several days, my family and i headed back home on the other side of the state.while driving about 60 mph with cruise control, there were no issues.i figured the problem was fixed.unfortunately, i was wrong.as i reached the highway where the speed limit is 70 mph, i accelerated to 70 mph with the cruise control.as soon as i broke the 70 mph point, the car mechanically stalled again as i was trying to merge onto the busy highway.again, luckily, i made it safely to the shoulder and restarted.i was able to exceed 70 mph on the way home without using the cruise control.concerned for my pregnant wife, toddler son, and my own safety, as this happened on a busy highway at a high rate of speed; with no warning lights or sounds.

All the electrical components go off and on i.e. A/c, lights on the dashboard and radio then causes the breaks to stop working, while driving! the car keeps stalling out especially while driving and in park!!!
Safety recall from chrysler.
My vehicle constantly stalls while slowing down to almost a stop or a stops.it happens almost every time now.when slowing down for a light while traffic is slowly moving my jeep stalls and i've almost been hit 5 times now.not good.
Engines surges continuosly. Rpm's surge.
Shuts off without warning while drivingignition switch was replaced dealer can,t find any other problem i was on the highway 3 times and a couple times on a local street
Our 2006 jeep commander has had a recurring problem of stalling at random times, while both driving and idling. Every day we start the vehicle but cannot drive it right away because it stalls out if we don't wait at least 5 minutes to "warm it up". Another example, we were driving on a city street and turning left in an intersection and it stalled out while in motion and lost control of steering and braking. I noticed that there have been recalls for thousands of 2006 jeep commanders, but our vin # shows no recalls for our car.we are having the same exact problem with this truck as the other owners of recalled 2006 jeep commanders. It is currently in the shop for the third time and the mechanics cannot recreate the stall while moving issue and cannot figure out why it is hesitating and stalling. This is my 16 year old new driver's vehicle and i'm afraid for her safety.
Tranmissiom going out. Gear not shifting into drive.
The car intermittedly shuts off while driving.diagnostics lights for whole dashboard will come on. The car shuts off at least 1 to 2 times per month.
Vehicle was parked at the gas station. It was working fine previously. Had been at dealer getting routine maintenance done 2 weeks prior. After filling tank with gas, got in and car engine had loud bang followed by the sound of bucket of bolts. Car was then towed to dealer where i was informed the car needed a complete long block.after doing extensive forum research, i am finding that there are more reports of this problem. I also understand that chrysler is aware of a design problem but will not admit or process a recall for this problem.
I have a 2006 jeep commander that i bought 2 months ago. It has been one problem after another. First of all the first day it rained the whole entire cab was soaked, come to find out that there is a problem with the sunroof drainage of these jeeps. The drain lines don't stay connected to the floor and when that occurs the carpet get drenched. I had to pull all of the carpet out of the jeep because of mold concerns. Secondly shortly thereafter the check engine light came on the first time i drove the jeep. Took it too a mechanic and the code showed a crank sensor and a cam sensor. Got both of those replaced and it required a driveshaft repair kit. Another day later the check engine light went off again. The truck started to shake and shimmy so we had to pull over on the side of a highway because it wasn't safe. Took it into another mechanic that was closer to where i was having the issues and they put another set of crank and cam sensors in again. Supposingly i was good to go but just 2 days later the check engine light came back on.went back to another mechanic that was close in proximity to where i was having trouble in which the truck started to shake and shimmy again. This mechanic found a short to the ground in altanater unit which required a new altanater because the other one wasn't pulling enough voltage. Today (sept 5th)went to start the truck and it stalled again and when i restarted it the check engine light was back on. I have spent well over $2000 on this situation and it still isn't fixed. I have read a lot of other customer complaints about this model as well as others who are having the same problem. There should be a recall on this from chrysler to fix whatever issues these cars are having. They have been getting away with this crap way too long now. Going down the freeway 70 plus miles an hour and all of a sudden the check engine light comes on.
While driving on sunday july 6, 2014, my vehicle suddenly shut off and lost power steering. We were able to pull off and restart the vehicle. This happened a couple of times and then seemed to run normal.
I received a safety recall notice from chrysler for my jeep commander stating that i may experience an unintended change in ignition switch position while driving, which could result in loss of engine power, power steering, and braking, and increases my risk of a crash. I have called chrysler group recall center 1-800-853-1403, option 6 countless times, unfortunately many times having to hang up after waiting 25 minutes to get through. I have also repeatedly called beyer/jeep/chrysler 973-644-3200 and they have been very short with me and tell me the same thing every time i call- they have no date of when the part will be in. When i drive on the highway, i am terrified of losing control of my car. I have seen on the news people that have been in accidents because of this ignition switch and heard that chrysler has a buyout program. I am interested in finding out about this program because i think that waiting over a year, and with no resolution in sight, is a bit ridiculous and i dont want to become a statistic. Please advice me as to what my next step should be.
While driving the vehicle on a slippery road during a snowfall, my wife observed all of the indicator lights on the dashboard light up simultaneously. Shortly thereafter, the engine shut off, causing a loss of power steering and consequently a loss of control of the vehicle on the slippery roadway. As a result, the vehicle slid into a highway maintenance marker along the shoulder of the road, causing minor damage to the license plate holder and bumper of the vehicle. Our concern is that this incident is apparently due to a defective ignition switch, which is the subject of a current recall (14v-438) issued by the manufacturer on 9/3/14. However, the manufacturer has not provided a remedy for this defect, citing the unavailability of repair parts, and as of this morning the manufacturer has no idea as to when these repair parts will be available. In the meantime, the phenomenon of the dashboard indicators suddenly and spontaneously illuminating while driving continues to recur rather frequently, and we are afraid that a recurrence of the engine shutoff and loss of power steering and brake assist will also recur, perhaps at a time and location where a much more serious crash will result.

The gas tank is full and it still want start. The truck was towed to a mechanical shop and they advised me it was a bad engine.
Stalling problems while driving. This issue has been going on for over a year now, i was told by jeep to get p41 recall repaired and possibly fix the problem.i've had p41 done and the same problem keeps happening.everything just completely shuts down and i am unable to steer and have to restart the engine.this has happened to me numerous of times including driving on the freeway.i've contacted jeep customer service, i was told i was the only one they know of regarding this issue which is not true.another problem is dashboard lights will light up on and off while driving.all light indicators will stay on for period of time until car is restarted again.

This is in response to the recall for the ignition switch on my 2006 jeep commander. My vehicle has had the ignition switch replaced at the dealership but you should know that the replacement does not cure the problems that it was meant to fix. The work was completed at 9:30am and the next time i drove that day,it didthe same exact shutdown as it did before (with all lights on the dash flashing).the stalling and shutdown does not occur because of hitting the key with your leg as i am only 5'4" and my leg doesn't touch the ignition. The shutdown occurs because of a short somewhere inside the ignition. It occurs randomly and sometimes can be stopped by lightly turning the key to the left. I have also found that the shutdown occurs at extreme frequency when driving in heavy rain or extremely slushy roads, which tells me that somewhere, something is getting wet and shorting the vehicle out. It is very hard to get the lights to stop flashing in this type of weather and i have had to pull over a couple times because of the danger of stalling in traffic. I am stuck with this dangerous vehicle because of my financial situation and have fought for something to be done about it by the dealer starting 20 days after i bought it but of course nothing was done until the government got involved and sadly it still hasn't cured the problem.i hope you receive more complaints and make the dealership correct the problem the right way.thank you for your time,[xxx]'information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).'

Engine light come on, and stayed on. Checked obvious engine problems, oil, belt, gas cap, etc. No obvious cause. Took to local mechanic. Checked code and reset. Advised it had to do with center console shift linkage?advised to bring back as soon as comes on again. This is however not the first time the light has come on for no apparent reason. Have had to pull over at least twice before on interstate to check engine. No cause found. After several restarts, light did not come on, and car ran, though sluggish and at time labored.

It saddens me to write this letter concerning the poor service i received on my 2006 jeep commander at one of your dealerships.i purchased the car last november in manassas, va, and the car ran great up until about a month ago, when all of the indicator lights would come on and then the car would abruptly shut-off.this behavior went on for about a week and then i took it to the dealer (darcars chrysler jeep dodge of new carrollton) located at xyour jeep service center diagnosed the problem to be the pcm assembly which cost about 800.00, and was not covered by my extended warranty.after negotiating with the gwc warranty company, they agreed to pay half, which was 500.00 and we paid the balance of 577.00.after authorizing the repair, i was called on saturday, august 17th to pick up the vehicle.ironically, when i got in the vehicle, it wouldn't start., so the mechanic had to give me a jump. After having the car home for a few days, the problem re-appeared again.the same exact symptoms! i called the jeep dealership and the service center manager, leo, told me to bring the car back.this time i requested a rental car so i could continue to go to work while they diagnose my car again.they kept my care through the labor day holiday and informed me it was my battery.this doesn't make sense.i never had a problem with the battery until they started working on the car, so i had to pay an additional 277.00 (including car rental charges) for a new battery.i picked up the car yesterday, september 5, 2013, and this morning, i brought my daughter to school and the problem occurred again!i am beyond upset and frustrated.i have spent over 800.00, and my car is still not reliable.

Jeep has total loss of power, control, and steering while driving.car will no start unless in park or neutral, losses all power electrical and steering once you let foot off of the accelerator.i almost ran into another vehicle while heading hope and was nearly rear ended at another intersection due to stalling and no control.all of this happened within hours of ed voyles jeep replacing the ignition switch p41 recall.super super dangerous...
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.
Valve seat dropped into engine causing catostaphic failure.engine will not idle.the engine is completely destroyed.out of warranty.replacement cost is $6700.00.i will never again buy chrysler, dodge or jeep product again.the failur hapoened upon startup with no warning.
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.
While driving on hwy 97 south, passing through redmond oregon, the engine on our jeep commander shut off. My husband and i had no idea what to make of the engine shutting off. We had not received a recall notice yet. When we did receive recall p41/nhtsa 14v-438 i waited until i would receive the next notification. I have never received a notice or a phone call since the initial notification.i have written to the nhtsa, written to chrysler group llc and called the chryster group recall assistance center with an assigned customer care number 25941647. I have written to my congressman. I have many times called my local dealer who has give me the same response, "the parts are not available." in good faith i purchased this chrysler product. My complaint is that chrysler sent me a notice indicating that my vehicle would be repaired and safe to drive. Chrysler is remiss. My jeep commander has yet to be repaired and continues to be unsafe to drive.
I was driving on the interstate and my vehicle stalled and the check engine light cams on.
I purchased the vehicle in 2010 and within a month some electrical issues were intermittently occurring. The dealer said the ignition had to be replaced and did so. These problems seemed to continue thought not often. The symptoms are as follows-first the lights start flickering and then go out. All of the dash components go out including the speedometer, fuel gage, radio etc. The ac fan also turned off. This condition did not stop the vehicle from running it just turned off the electrical componentsthere was however a problem with stalling, a separate issue from the electrical issue., a few times while in the vehicle was stopped it would stall when stopping or starting off again. This was true in reverse and forward. I was never really worried about safety until last night when the lights went out while driving on a dark curvy country road. It was only for a few seconds but it was terrifying. This issue needs to be dealt with.in 2015 there were several recalls issued and they seemed to be related to the problems i was having. I had all of the recall notices dealt with. The software upgrades and the ignition replacement. This didn't solve the problem. In fact it
Bought this commander 08/02/14, about two weeks after driving it . It started dropping out of gear andgetting stuck in 3rd gear. And when driving on the highway it would completely shut down , i sent it back to where i bought it. For them to fix the problem being i haven't even made my first car payment. And the gave me a run around for two weeks saying they was waiting on parts . Then said they had it and had my jeep for almost 4 weeks . Before getting my jeep. Now its 01/02/15 and its doing it again. I cant make it back and forth to work. Or get my kids. With my jeep stuck in third gear and dieing for no reason.
I received recalls p73 and p41 called sorg dodge in goshen and downey chrysler jeep in nappanee in sept of 2015 needless to say no one will do the recall work.i have had nothing but the run around since these came out. What am i suppose to do??
2006 jeep commander with check engine light took to dealer and was told they couldn't fix the used scan tool to look up code p0700 and this took them to p2767 input speed sensor was told its an internal transmission part and they cant fix was told they cant duplicate problem so they cant fix at this time . My vehicle hesitates when accelerating and also bucks.
2006 commander stalls on highway and then starts right back up. Happens atany speed.
Worst vehicle ever! we got it with around 98k miles on it, and it now only has 103k miles on it and in the last 4k we've put over $5k into it trying to get it to run. We had to put a new transmission in ($2k) and have the lifters in the engine replaced ($2,600). Currently it's been shutting off on its own a few seconds after i start it and giving random "transmission over temp" and "service 4x4 system" messages even though there's not a problem with those systems.i turn the key, it runs for 3 seconds, then shuts off. Sometimes it does this several times in a row and then won't start at all. Other times it starts fine so it's ridiculously hard to diagnose. Sometimes when it's doing it's shut down bit, you can get it to stay on a little longer by revving the engine, and it will let you pull out of the driveway, but then shuts off in the middle of the street. The sun roof leaks horrifically, even after i've tried the "clip the nipples off the bottom of the hoses" trick.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. While driving at an unknown speed with the overdrive activated, the vehicle jerked and the engine stalled. In addition, the check engine and esp bas warning light illuminated. The vehicle was able to restart after multiple attempts.

The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.
I have 2006 jeep commander in which i am experiencing issues with the ignition switch on my vehicle. The defective ignition switch causes every light on my dashboard to illuminate and it causes my vehicle to stall, as well as flickering lights with no power to fuel gauges, mph, and rpm needles. After all the lights illuminate and go away the check engine light stays on, and the defective ignition switch drains my battery causing my vehicle to not start without a jump start by the next day. With a slight tap on the key it will move some or a bump in the road will make the ignition switch start acting up and make some of the previously described symptoms act up. Occasionally there are clicks that come from the ignition switch after the vehicle has started, which signifies that the defective ignition switch is going to fail soon. I received the notification from the chrysler corporation about the recall and that my vehicle is included in it, but haven't received the second notice to this date about when the part would be available. I called in november to check and see what can be done but i was told the same thing that no parts are available. So this leaves me at the end of the road with this vehicle. I check online almost all the time for updates and still the same thing. I have been following this recall since it popped up in the news before i received notification from chrysler, because i have had this problem with my vehicle. I am scared for my life that the key will move into the wrong places disabling my car or when the ignition switch acts up it will make me loose control of my vehicle and it could be dangerousfor me or any of my passengers even fatal. Safety should be chryslers number one priority. At this point i hope to get rid of this car and move away from chrysler's products for good especially since fiat is running the show!
Repeated transmission over temp error messages displayed on dash. Error is intermittent, occasionally causing vehicle to turn off unexpectedly during operation. Happens while driving in normal conditions.
Takata recall the motor keeps dying while driving. I took it to a mechanic that told me that the motor was defective and the motor has to be replaced. The engine only has less than 85000 miles. The mechanic told us to buy a jasper motor because jasper made changes to the motor because the original motor was defective.mopar no longer makes the motor and referred us to an aer motor.the parts department at chrysler said that they are not sure or not if the original mopar motor has made the same changes to the motor that jasper has made.jasper states that changes have been made to the motor and specifically states that improvements have been made to solve the defective issues of an original 2006 motor.i am not the only one it has happened to.motors were being replaced at 75,000 miles are a common problem according to google on this model.
My jeep acts as if i turned the ignition off while going down the road.today it did it again going down the highway at 65-70 mph.i have no additional keys on the key chain.my seat is slid back and there was no contact with my knee and the ignition switch.i have a 2006 jeep commander and have complained about this since 2007.there is a current recall(p41 / nhtsa 14v-438), that i was finally notified about by my dealera year ago but there are still no parts available to fix the problem.how long should a known safety issue be allowed to go on without a fix.should we wait for someone to get into an accident and die?

I was driving on the express way do 70 mph and we hit a bump and the jeep lost all power. It shut right off. Thank fully we were in the outside lane and could get pulled over. The check engine light came on. Once we got pulled over we shut the key off and started it back up and it was fine. But the check engine light stayed on.there has been a recall on the ignition switch since june of 2014 and the dealership keeps telling me they don't have the parts. This is my only vehicle and i have a child and do not want to drive it now.
Everytime i drive my jeep it stalls and the wheel locks up (basically turns into manual steering) and my brakes lock up ( no brakes at all) and i had just bought this jeep a wk go from mcgee chevrolet in raynham ma. The first night i drove it home it stalled pulling in to the driveway. I called the dealership the next morning to tell them and they wouldn't take the jeep til the following wk to look at it they came up with every excuse in the world. When i brought the jeep in today they had me sign a deductible of 100 dollars but yet when i first test drove the jeep it i told them to fix it but all they did was cleared the codes (flashed the computer) now i have a rejection sticker on the vehicle and no car.
This jeep commander was sitting at the gas station after driving it home 30 miles. Upon ignition of engine, there was a loud explosives sound, the engine sounded like a bucket of bolts. I shut off the ignition immediately, then got it towed home until i got it to the dealership. The car requires a new engine. There are many similar cases to my story, and i believe there was a major failure due to faulty engine components. An investigation should be launched.there are too many people reporting the same failure, if not on this site, than on other jeep commander forum sites. Enough is enough. I was told by the dealership mechanic that there is am bad part in the cylinder #8 that malfunctions causing immediate failure upon restarting the car.this is not acceptable. There are over 1500 complaints for th same problem and no one has fixed the problem.
I went to start my 2006 jeep commander and it would turn over, but it would not start. I finally worked with it a little bit and got it to start, but then my power steering went out. I cut it off and tried it again and everything went back to normal. However, when i got going, there was a horrible gas smell coming from the rear of the vehicle. This starting issue has happened multiple times and every time the power steering goes out. The vehicle was stationary at a public place after it had been running for about 30 minutes.
When driving my jeep commander it stalls. It happens when i am stopped and try to go or when i slow down then try and accelerate. My life has been at risk when this happens. One of the times i was driving on the interstate going 65mph and it stalled. I am extremely upset about this especially since i have a 2 year old son that is in the car with me.

Check engine light came on. Engine surged rpms and lost all power while driving. I put it in neutral and started it back up. Upon parking, rpms surged again, vehicle tried to pull forward before the rpms dropped and stalled the engine in drive. I checked used my scan tool to check the code and it came back p1521 which is for wrong engine oil. I used royal purple 5w20 in my last oil change. It drove the vehicle for 2098 miles before this incident occurred with no issues in between. I noticed the 4.7 litre had a recall done for the same exact issue and it being a software update for the power control module.
The problem began initially in 4/2010 when the vehicle had 53,165 miles on it and the engine would idle roughly, the esp/bas indicator would come on, the check engine light would come on, and the traction assist indicator would all come on at the same time. As soon as all the indicators would light the car would handle poorly, not shift properly, and at times simply stall out on the highway while traveling at high speeds. I brought the car to my local jeep dealership and upon inspection they found that the intake manifold had melted and come apart thus it needed to be replaced at a cost of $485 which was fine considering the car overall had not given me many major problems so i proceeded to have the work done. A couple of weeks ago the same problems began happening again (the engine would idle roughly, the esp/bas indicator would come on, the check engine light would come on, and the traction assist indicator would all come on at the same time) so i brought the car back to the same dealership and upon inspection they found that once again the intake manifold had melted and come apart thus it needed to be replaced at a cost this time of $685, mind you the car now has 96,057 miles.my main concern is that the intake manifold lasted only 42,901 miles and had to be replaced once again. I voiced my concerns to my service advisor and he stated that the first time the upper manifold had gone bad and that this time the lower manifold had gone bad, that may very well be the case but if you look at the invoices the part numbers are exactly the same (53032774aa). I understand that the dealership can only do so much so i am now appealing to you as it seems that the intake manifold for my 2006 jeep commander has a factory defect as it literally melts and begins to come apart especially with the extremely hot weather in south florida every 40,000 miles or so.

As i was driving down the road my automobile turned off and stopped working while driving! this is very dangerous and is very ridiculous considering i received a recall notice over 1 year ago concerning this problem. I make every attempt to ensure the functions of my vehicle are running properly for the safety of my family.i have young children and they could have been seriously injured had we been involved in an accident at the time of my vehicle's failure to operate correctly, due to the manufacturers irresponsibility of taking care of this problem within a proper time frame! jeep and local dealers have been contacted multiple times to try to correct this problem, with no help from them it has yet to be repaired!
2006 jeep commandervehicles is shutting off randomly while driving and the steering wheel is locking up. Also the lights on the dash board flicker randomly. Mechanics could not find anything wrong. There is no recalls on my specific vin but for other 2006 jeep commanders. I do not want my family and i driving down the highway and it's does this and we die then you finally say oops yeah there's a recall on that...

This issue has happened three times now, i have been driving on the freeway at about 70 mph and all of a sudden there is a ding on the dash board and the car stalls, and the engine light comes on. Once you shut down the car and start it again the car works fine but the engine light stays on for a couple of hours, according to jeep they charge for a diagnosis and i see online that this is happening a lot in my type of vehicle but jeep has yet to acknowledge it. I think it is very dangerous since i have been driving on a freeway where people are driving as fast or faster than me and could cause a problem.

Vehicle loses ignition power when driving at various speeds. Dash cluster warning lights flash multiple times. Speedometer, tachometer, fuel, temp gauges fall to zero point. Steering becomes difficult/inoperable. Vehicle will sometimes regain power. Recall related to ignition switch has been open since september 3, 2014. Manufacturer has not issued any solution/remedy. Manufacturer has suggested "removing extra keys/keychains from ignition key and avoid bumping the ignition key with knees." this is not a remedy. The problem still occurs. This is dangerous.recall is incomplete. Nhtsa recall number: 14v-438 manufacturer recall number: p41
Valve seals went in engine causing catastrophic fail. Shut off vehicle, went to start again, started but started to make a horrible noise, would not stay started.
Jeep commander 2006 limited 5.7 l engine. The complaint is as follows:while driving, at random, slow and medium speeds, all the dashboard lights activate at one time followed by immediate loss of engine power. (at no time did my knee hit the key or ignition cylinder) this issue does not clear up on its own. The only solution to avoid an accident is to immediately put into neutral, pull off the road or highway as quickly as possible. (at this time, the car is sputtering severely or stalls) next step- turn the key to off position, wait a few seconds and re start the vehicle. It starts and runs normally. The loss of power and dash light activation is occurring every other day. Upon my own further investigation, many reports have been logged (with basically the same complaint) on carcomplaints.com, with additional video proof on u tube ( just type in jeep commander dashboard haywire) with several videos of the incident. Chyrsler customer care claims ( as of today) to know nothing about it - told me to call local dealer, local jeep dealer (car was purchased new) was contacted- they claim to now nothing about it. Told both agencies to get off their butt to look at car complaints.com or just view the numerous u tube videos. With this many complaints, i find it surprising that chrysler to not be aware of this issue. I have followed all recalls and had the ignition lock cylinder and reprogram the final drive control module completed many months before problem occurred.any assistance in resolving this serious safety issue would be greatly appreciated.

My 2006 commander stopped accelerating in fact it felt like i was driving against a wind blowing headon faster then i was driving ,then the jeep started jumping like a hick-up then my tail lights stopped working and lower dash lights went out and my warning lights in dash came on,the vehicle stalls out at idle or at start of acceleration not very good took to dealer was told i need a new front control module and new cooling fan ,nwe speed relay costing$1063.00 im not to sure about it and they tell me that it has no recall ??
My jeep stalled as i accellerated on the on ramp of a major interstate. I coasted to the shoulder and tried to restart and would not restart until i shut it completely off and restarted. It ran with the check engine light on and the cruise control inopertable. Idle was rough at low and higher rpm's.after about six restarts throughout the day the check engine light went out but the cruise control is still inopertable. One week later it stalled at idle during cold weather warm up with the same results following as before. The vehicle was purchased used from a dealer less than a week prior to the incident with 84,879 mi. A background check through autocheck was conducted prior to purchase with no major finding reported on this specific vehicle. From investigations through multible websites, this issue is common with this vehicle for several years.i have check the recall reports by vin # and this vehicle does not fall in the production catagory of manufacture recall but has the exact same symtoms for a recall. This is a major safety concern if the vehicle stalls on a rural highway with no shoulder to safely pullover.

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.
Intermittent inability to start vehicle. My jeep commander 2006 has a problem that is being discussed all over the internet in chat rooms and blogs but is not being acknowledged by jeep.the issue occurred whenjeep was in parked position. I am a disabled man and i was left stranded in very cold weather for two hours with a car that would not start. It had nothing to do with the starter, or the solenoid. This seems to be a serious issue with jeeps and a safety issue to the owner especially if the owner is stranded and has no heat and unable to walk to get help. I am requesting nhtsa to look into this because jeep is stonewalling the public and this is a serious and dangerous issue that the public should be aware of by way of a recall. People rely upon their automobiles and expect them to operate accordingly and not to have random and intermittent engine non starts for no apparent reason and with no explanation from jeep and no solution to the problem going on 9 years now.please investigate this widespread problem known to be an issue with jeep commander.

My family and i were driving down the highway at 75 mph and without any warning, the engine died. When the engine died, the engine indicator light came on. Power steering and braking were fine at first. I steered the car to the side of the road. Before coming to a stop, the power steering stopped working. Once on the side of the road, i turned the ignition off and then tried to restart the vehicle. The car re-started immediately, however, the engine light remained on. I have taken the car into the shop and the technician was unable to find any problems with the vehicle. ...updated 09/22/15 about one week prior to the above event, i was driving home from the train station on a perfectly dry and clear day and when i was driving, the various traction control lights came on and the car would periodically buck while the rpm's would rev higher for a moment. After arriving home, i turned the car off and parked it in the garage. The nest day when i started it, the traction lights were off and the car appeared to drive normally. The lights that were on were the esp, bas, and the picture of the car sliding. When i took the car in for repair, the dealer couldn't find any issue with the traction system. The same traction issue has happened several more times and has yet to be repaired. Updated 09/29/15

While driving at aprox 45mph, with no warning my jeep stalled out leaving me with no power anything. After 5 minutes started up with check engine light on. Tried to get it to my home about 5 minutes away stalled again without warning. Did manage to get it homethis however is not the only time this has happened,started happening in may 2012 samething. Had it towed to dealer which they charged me $234 to find nothing wrong with it and 11/2weeks with no vehicle. This is very dangerous how at any speed vehicle stalls with no warning!!!!!i should add i just had the flash recall done on the vehicle for the otc module on 4/13/12.
I was slowly pulling through a stop light (stop and go traffic up to it). Jeep suddenly lost power of all kinds - stalled engine, no emergency flashers, no radio, nothing. Tried to turn key & restart it a # of times but it was dead. Ambulance drove by, stopped & pushed me out of the road. As they were pushing me, electrical came back on. So i tried to turn key again and car started. **i am pretty confident that my knee did not touch the key- i am too short for that and also the car would not restart once stalled- i turned key many times to tr and get out of the road and car remained dead/powerless. All electrical was off. Once car came back on, radio stations no longer programmed, etc. Much like the battery had died.** plz note, mileage is estimated- i need to go look inside car.

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.
See doc i had to replace engiine and now the company that did might responsible for it as well need a attorney or a bbb for help
My jeep commander 2006 shifts automatically to neutral while driving, you feel a strong pull and a loud sound coming from the engine, suddenly the car is in neutral and the gas pedal doesn't work even if pressing it. The check engine light turns on for 2 or 3 days. This problem can cause a fatal accident if this happens while driving at a higher speed, i'm scared to drive this car. I took this car to get the transmission fixed twice and i still have the same problem, it is clearly not a transmission problem now that i think about it. Also the dash lights and headlights start flashing while driving, including the ac it shuts off while lights are flashing. I called chrysler to let them know about this problem and they said my car doesn't have a recall, i don't know what else to do, i've spent more than 5,000 dlls trying to fix something that cannot be fixed, i need help!
I have only the one key on the key chain- i have moved seat back as far as it can go with me being able to still touch the pedel.and my car still cuts off when i riding down street - cuts off for like maybe 5 to 8 sec then kicks back in jolts us forward then i can hit gas-when this happens - i can not hit gas rpm do not move. I have been told numerous times have no clue when my part will be in and i feel my car is not safe to drive.

This has been the 3rd time this type of event happens, the first time was at a city street driving straight forward at 30-35mph and the engine started stalling, truck completely went off, head lights would go on and off, along with my interior dashboard indicators and media center. Second time, same thing, and the third time while driving at about 35-40mph in a city street and gradually slowing down to10-15mph to make a left the truck completely went off, head lights would go on and off, along with my interior dashboard indicators and media center. It seem like i had turned off the engine completely for like a split second. I though it might've been that i hit the key with my knee, but i pulled over restarted the engine after 15 min, and the problem continued. All the lights would go on and off and the engine power would shut down, when putting the gears, it would sound very forcing. I turned it off again and waited 30 min, restarted the truck again it did the problem for a few seconds and then it was like nothing ever happened.
Ignition switch defective.it moved from run to acc while making a right turn onto a onramp going about 30 mph.it turned off the vehicle just like the defective gm switch did.it was attached to other keys and may have been bumped by knee during turn.
Vehicle is a 2006 jeep commander 4x4 limited with the 4.7l engine.vehicle has suddenly stalled 4 times while driving in the last 6-8 weeks.vehicle stalled while backing out of parking space, driving 15-20 mph on a city street, while idling at a stop sign, and while accelerating from a stop light.these are the first occurrences in the 4 years we have owned the vehicle.
While driving down the road the vehicleengine 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 ihad 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
Vehicle seem to loose power while cruising at or around 45 mph or when engages 4th gear. Rpm's drop really quick from 3500 to almost 1500 rpm's in matters of second. Increasing the risk of a rear end collision if trying to overtake another vehicle or driving up hill, dealer can't find problem. Problems happens every time under any weather condition.
I have a 2006 jeep commander limited v8 5.7l hemi. It is a low mileage vehicle, always garaged and never been in an accident. About 6 months ago it began stalling when going from reverse to drive. The electrical did not go off, the engine simply stalled. This happened countless times easily 20+ occurrences. We took it to the dealer and they couldn't find anything wrong with it, they told us to use higher octane fuel and they updated the software in the car... A week later my wife was at work and it would not even turn over even though all of the electrical components worked fine. We had it towed and they replaced the battery and told us that was the problem. Yesterday i was driving the truck, it was in drive and as i slowed to a stop it stalled - again the electrical remained on. We took it to the dealer this morning and they told us it was not part of the original recall and they needed to keep it, but couldn't tell us what was wrong, we called chrysler and they couldn't tell us anything either. I have two young children and this could be horrible if this happened on the highway.
Problems began 1 day after commander went in to dealer for the regular 3,000mile oil change, that car was returned to me after that oil change, as 'good to go'; w/in 24 hours of that oil change, the commander would not start and required a new starter (30k miles). After the starter was replaced, the commander was stalling if - in the middle of a slight incline it had to brake and then resume - at the resume it would stall.also, after starter replaced dashboard lights blinking; transmission cooler lines leaking, power steering line from pump to cooler leaking, and front and back brake rotors had to be replaced (42k miles)60k miles, the cruise control turns on by itself and the rear park assist turns off by itself; the water leak into front passenger well.speaking with custom relations at chrysler corporate regarding cruise control, rear assist and water leak problems they told me that they were not aware of these being a problem for most commander customers; however, chrysler jeep is aware of these problems as evidenced by the technical service bulletins published on them yet chrysler jeep does not issue a recall/take fiscal responsibility for their manufacturer defects.more: chrysler jeep expects me to pay them to diagnose the problems so that then so long as i have paid a dealer to repair them they will consider (not necessarily approve; in the past they have in fact denied me reimbusement to fix these problems for which they have technical service bulletins on)refunding me total or partial cost of repairs.more: i was only informed of a safety recall regarding ebc module (brake) when i called in last week (12/2011) regarding the water leak & cruise control problem. Making this more poignant, the reason for this recall - that i was not notified about when it was first issued- is a brake issue that i had detailed to chrysler jeep in 2009!
When drive my 2006 jeep commander the engine has stalled while i was driving.
On several occasions, my 2006 jeep commander has completely shutdown when i am driving at very low speeds in traffic or when i come to stop at a light.the vehicle starts immediately again once it is put back into neutral or park but it happens too often and i believe it is hazardous.i took the vehicle to my local dealer for an engine diagnosis on 27dec06 and there is still not a code in the system forrepair of this problem but i see many complaints about the same problem by other owners.what is the status of this problem?
I was driving my 2006 jeep commander 4x4 4.7l during a thunderstorm and drove through about a foot to a foot and a half of water and wound up blowing my engine.other suvs in the area made it through the water with no problem but mine died in the water.i was told that the air intake on the vehicle is low, just below the front bumper.this is a "trail rated" vehicle which is boasted to perform well in "water fording".chrysler refuses to cover under warranty, stating the damage to my vehicle was not due to mechanical defect, that it was my fault for driving through water and the vehicle was not driven as intended.if this is the case jeep should never have "trail rated" this vehicle.it may not have been mechanical defect, but it sure is design defect.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. The contact stated the engine would sporadically misfire. The dealer inspected the vehicle and determined that the cylinder head was defective. The contact believed the failure to be a manufacturing defect due to the low mileage of the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired.the failure and current mileage was 37,000. Updated 09/01/11*ljthe dealer ran various test and indicated the failure was due to excessive carbon build-up. Updated 09/12/11
Problem with my 2006 jeep commander engine stalling. This has happened on 3-4 different occasions and happened again today in a parking lot. The engine just completely shuts down and nothing works, including the steering. Each time it has happened i have been going at a slow speed. I have taken it to my dealer who says they can't find anything wrong with it ( bob schwartz-bunker hill indiana).i am going to take it in again to see if they can possibly fix this problem now since there have been other commander owners complain. I am really afraid to drive this vehicle now especially with my kids. If jeep is aware of these complaints, they need to issue a recall on the 2006 & 2007 models also instead of just the 2008. If this would happen at highway speeds, it would have possibly been deadly!!! please help.
I brought my jeep into be looked at because it stalled on me when i was driving and lost power. Luckily i am okay and it restart right away. Dealer ship looked at it and found "nothing" wrong with it. I am scared to drive it especially when i have to drive on the interstate to work. I wish they would do something about this. Its so ridiculous.
At low speeds my 2006 jeep commander stalls, steering is lost and on inclines even rolls backwards. This began happening in july 2007 with approximately 30,000 miles. It has happened no less than 20 times since. The dealership can not replicate the problem and no codes are present to detect the issue. To rectify the stalling, i must turn off the car and turn it back on. It restarts immediately.
The stalling problems with my jeep started the first week i bought it. It had 17,000 miles. It would idle and then stall at stop lights or when parked or just shut down while driving. Luckily each time i was able to get to the side of the road without being hit by another vehicle. Other problems include not starting sporadically. Battery has been replaced twice, alternator replaced. In the shop 5 different times for this same problem and they tell me nothing is wrong with it. Other models from the same year were recalled for similar issues but my vehicle was not included in the recall. Also, seat belt in 2nd row does not latch. Chrysler needs to do something because there are 700+ complaints on here for the same issue and no one can tell me what is wrong!!
Vehicle stalled in traffic - was able to move out of traffic and avoid crash - took suv to dealer and they are unable to reproduce or detect problem (2006 jeep commander 4.7 liter engine).
We purchased a 2006 jeep commander in april 2007.since we purchased this vehicle, it has stalled on 12 separate, random occasions.i have documented the stalls which have occurred while in reverse, driving less than 10mph, and athigher speeds on the highway.when the car shuts down while on, i have to pull over (with no lights or power steering) and put the car into park to restart the car.it always starts up again with no problems.i have also noted that it occurs in both cold and warm temperatures.i have had the carin jeep's service depts on three occasions.on the first two visits, they said they could not find anything wrong with the vehicle.on the third visit, they admitted that others had complained of the same problems and they replaced the ignition switch to see if that corrects the problem.i have talked to other commander owners who also have had this same major issue with their vehicle.

Jeep commander (2006) has experienced numerous engine stalls in which vehicle completely cuts off resulting in no steering capability. This problem has occurred on six different occasions with the most recent being my jeep stalled while entering a busy road and i was almost hit by another vehicle.
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.
I was pulling out of my driveway when all the instrument lights came on. I thought it had stalled! when i looked down, the ob data screen said awd system failed. I put it in park turned off the key and tried to restart it and it would not. That's when i looked up and noticed a lot of white smoke coming from the front of my car! within a second it turned to black smoke! i smelled something burning. I hurried up and got my son and i out of the jeep and backed away, and within a few seconds there was a pop and the jeep engine compartment was on fire. We called 911.
I bought this jeep commander in march 23, 2006. The first time that the vehicle stalls while driving at 65 mph on the freeway was four months after i bought it. The power went off as if the ignition is turned off and the steering wheel hardened which made it impossible to turn to theshoulder lane. I ignored this problem because it never came back until april 5-10, 2007. I brought the commander to a dealer in the area and have them check the problem. They can not find the problem or duplicate it to fix it. They told me there were no problem. I'm scared out of my wits driving this jeep, not knowing when it stalls again.a few days later i brought it back to the dealer for it stalls on me again while driving 50 mph in the freeway. After a week of researching and diagnostics, they told me they might have fixed the problem by updating the final drive module. Today, may 3, 2007,while driving 20 mph, the commander stalls again. All the light signs flick on and off as i drive. I have two children, 2 and 10 years old and i'm so scared that other cars will hit us.

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.

2006 4.7 v8 jeep commander has had multiple problems, the most severe being 3 (out of 7) inoperable seatbelts and sporadic stalling of the vehicle. The first 8 - 10 times the vehicle stalled (went dead), i was at a stopped position attempting to accelerate. The most recent incident happened as i was driving in traffic. I lost all power steering and brakes when the vehicle died. I was going up a slight incline which assisted me in stopping and i put the vehicle in neutral and restarted. I have refused to drive the vehicle since that time out of safety concerns for my children and for others on the road. The dealership has attempted to correct the problem on 4 occasions - nothing has worked. The chrysler corporation refuses to buy-back the vehicle because the dealership has not duplicated the problem in the shop. I have witnesses to the occurrences and have documented each time it has happened.
In the 5 years i have owned the 2006 jeep commander it has stalled while driving, stalled while parked.this happens at no set frequency.sometimes it happens daily, other times it will go for months and not happen.the dash lights repeatedly flash off and on.some dash lights don't work at all for months then like magic work fine for months.the vehicle sputters when accelerating all the time and at different speeds.if i am crossing or turining i need to make sure i have like 2 miles between me and oncoming traffic in case it decides to not work that time and i get stuck in the intersection. The cruise control no longer works.luckily the computer went out that controls the cruise so i can't use it.the cruise used to just speed up and slow down on its own.i will be driving along and all of a sudden without notice the car will floor itself and not stop until i put the car in neutral.regardless of what temperature i have the heater set to there is constantly extremely hot air blowing on my feet.i can not drive without shoes on or the hot air literally burns my feet.overall- there are some serious electrical and mechanical issues with the jeep commander.i googled jeep commander and there are hundreds (i am sure thousands) of similar complaints.
While driving, vehicle has a complete blackout - it completely shuts down, engine stops running, everything dies! this has happened when driving on a major highway and when on a local road. Dealer can not find problem. Vehicle has been at dealer in excess of 30 days without resolution. Dealer lent us a loaner - same model - and the same problem occurred. When reported to chrysler corporate, they did nothing and were not interested in helping address the problem. We feel this problem is serious enough to cause a major accident, death and or injury.
My vehicle's engine unexpectedly shuts off while i'm driving. The first time it happened while i was driving over 50 mph, that scared me because i lost my power steering and it was hard to control my vehicle. The other thing is that once it shuts off, the vehicle won't let you restart on the fly, you have to come to a complete stop, put the vehicle in park and restart your engine. That can be potentially dangerous on the freeway.

2006 jeep commandertheir 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.
Our 06 jeep commander has been a nightmare since the day we purchased it used with 14k miles on it in 3/07. We continue to have problems with the dash lights coming on, stalling just today 7/22- the lights lit up and the air conditioner quit working!!! no fan no blower... Nothing. It has been brought in for the recall for this but it keeps happening. Oh and did i mention that autopark jeep in cary, nc sold me a lemon/buyback.... They gave me the carfax report after 30 visits to the service dept.... Fool me once,fool me twice... I am hoping that jeep will buy it back again for this complete lemon!! i know have 37k on it and the service dept was talking that they did not know if jeep would cover the work.... They can keep it..
Was driving down the road going about 50 mph when the car just shut off!!!! took it in and the dealer couldn't find anything wrongwe are taking it into the dealer tomorrow.
I bought my 2006 jeep commander 4x4 in november 2007.since buying it, the vehicle has stalled out on my approximately 8 times while driving it.the whole vehicle shuts off.i can't steer it or do anything.this could get me and my family killed.when i called about the problem, the man i spoke to acted as if i was making this up and told me nothing could be done.
2006 4.7l, 4x4 jeep commander stopped running for no apparent reason when driving at slow speed on a secondary road.after pulling over and putting on hazards tried restarting engine successfully.
Leaking coolant- water pump in 2006 commander needed to be replaced at 38,000 miles. I have also had problems with the fabric seats staining.
We purchased a jeep commander 4x4 4.7l 10/06. We love the car, but have experienced the stalling problem 5 times so far- 3 times while the vehicle was slowing down to turn and 2 times while the vehicle was in motion on a highway.i bring it to a dealer each time it happens and i am told the diagnostic recording device and it doesn't tell them anything.the dealer ship says "they can replicate the problem"the 5 time it happened i googled "jeep commander stalling" and found that many others have this same problem.i called chrysler to complain and got no response.one of the posts on carspace.com suggested complaining to you.jb
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. The contact stated that while driving approximately 60 mph, the instrument panel lights all illuminated, the vehicle hesitated and then stalled. The contact was able to restart the vehicle yet the failure recurred several times. The vehicle was taken to a local repair shop where the contact was advised that the vehicle software would need to be reprogrammed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where repairs were made under nhtsa campaign id number: 08v203000 (power train: automatic transmission: control module -tcm, pcm) yet the failure was not repaired. The dealer advised that the vehicle would need to be diagnosed to determine the exact cause of the failure. The vehicle was neither diagnosed nor repaired. The failure and current mileage was 100,000.updated 03/29/11 updated 05/09/11
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. The contact stated while driving highway speeds, or in a parking lot the vehicle would stall on an intermittent basis without warning. The vehicle was restarted within a few minutes. The vehicle was inspected by a dealer who advised her that they were unable to diagnose the failure or duplicate it. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and offered no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 6,000.
I own a 2006 jeep commander ltd. With the 5.7l hemi. Date of manufacturer was 06/06. In the past year my commander has began stalling out sporadically while stopped completely. It occurs at any time, night or day, usually only when the engine is cold or cool. The problem occurs when i come to a complete stop at a stop sign, stop light, or any other complete stop in drive or reverse. When i come to a complete stop the rpm's drop and the vehicle stalls out. No warning lights or check engine lights show up on the dash. When it occurs at night all the external vehicle lights turn off, thus making me and my vehicle vulnerable to other traffic. It does not trip a code in the computer so the dealer cannot diagnose the problem. The first time i took my vehicle in for maintenance regarding the problem the dealer recommended i replace the egr valve so i did what they recommended. The problem still occurs. The dealer advised me that they cannot duplicate the problem therefore there is nothing they can do to correct the problem. When my vehicle stalls out it typically will do it 3-5 additional times per trip and it happens at least once per week. I have read that numerous people are having the same problems and jeep has no fix.i am very concerned with this problem because it is unsafe as i was nearly struck by another vehicle. Recently i was traveling down the street at night and was preparing to turn left at a stop light. I stopped in the middle of the intersection to wait for the oncoming traffic to pass, when my car stalled out and all of the lights turned off (headlights, running lights, etc) making my vehicle completely invisible to traffic. I was unable to move the vehicle until i placed it in neutral and had to restart the engine and move out of the intersection. Please look further into this problem with 2006 jeep commanders as this is not something that should happen.
My 2006 jeep commander shut off while i was driving at 40mph this week.i lost power steering, my acceleration, and then the whole car shut down.i brought it to jeep and the found absolutely nothing wrong with the car and are not providing any resolution to what i am supposed to do with the car.
The air conditioner made a loud noise and then smoke began pouring out of the engine compartment.i observed smoke coming from the air conditioner compressor.i had to put the fire out with water.
I have a 2006 jeep commander that i purchased in sept. 2006 since i have owned the car 2 times the engine has shut off while driving on the lie interstate 495 at speeds over 50mph.a very dangerous situation...
2007 jeep commander.six months after the purchase of a new jeep commander the jeep started losing power and stalling.it didn't matter what speed the jeep was going.it has stalled and lost power and all electronics pulling into traffic and cruising down the interstate.the jeep was towed to the dealership where the junction box was replaced.numerous tests were completed but no definitive reason was found for the stalling.i was told the jeep was fixed.the jeep has since stalled 3 more times, one time with when my wife was driving and my daughters ages 4 and 7 were onboard.this time, they were nearly hit by a tractor trailer pulling out of the local grocery store.the jeep had to be towed back to the dealership where it sits right now.the service department seems to think it's the ignition switch but iknow better.i'm seeking a lease buy out by chrysler and plan to sue if they do not take the jeep back.this jeep is going to kill someone and i will not let it be my wife or children.
My 2006 commander with 40,000 miles has had the following problems since it came off the lot.the vehicle stalls and i obviously lose power and steering but there are no error messages in the computer, the 4wd does not engage - the warning light for that comes on but there's no error message in the computer. The window's roll up and down incorrectly - the gasket on the exhaust manifold has been replaced and the kicker of all problems is when the vehicle goes through a minor puddle of water or the automatic car wash the steering wheel locks completely until the water is gone - try driving that in the rain- jeep was finally able to duplicate that problem by putting a garden hose under the car and squirting water on the underside of the vehicle - this problem apparently cannot be fixed and they can't believe that no other jeep owner's aren't throwing fits.so much for the lemon law - the steering problem wasn't taken seriously by the previous jeep dealers -i went to a different dealer altogether however, it's too late.

Prompting you to have to bring the car to a complete stop to restart. I have been dealing for months on this issue and nothing has been done. I am i n a rental car 90% of the time. Chrysler needs to get off their ass and doing something before someone is seriously hurt. I am intersted and fileing a class action suit against them.

As my mother was getting onto the 105 east fwy the engine made a loud bang and rumbling noises. Immediately following the engine completely turned off and the car was still in motion. The brakes were functioning properly thus my mother was able to come to a full stop on the shoulder of the fwy ramp. All the engine oil was spilling out of the vehicle. Once the car was towed to the dealer, they said the engine had a hole and not repairable. The car is barely 5 years old and purchased new. Last oil change was done on 3/16/11 and the auto center did not report any engine issues.
I bought the car used and within the first two weeks it stalled in a parking lot.then it jerks when i leave my house in the morning all the way down the hill. They said it needed a couple parts and it didn't resolve that issue.then the car stalled while driving twice more with my child in the car once i could barely get off the road.then it just tried to stop while i was driving and i had to rev the engine unbelievably to get it to the side of the road. I brought it to two dealers who couldn't find the problem or duplicate it. They put in a new starter anyway. They told me to not hit the ignition with my knee. Then the car stalled again this afternoon driving about 10 miles per hour.so it doesn't matter what the speed is.

To take action.
I have purchased a 2006 jeep commander.it has 6000 miles on it.at 4200 miles it started stalling for no apparent reason.it has done it in stop and go traffic and has done it when i was traveling at 35 mph.other jeep commander owners are experiencing the same problem.see jeep commander thread at edmunds.com.to date dealers have not been able to diagnose the problem.stalling in traffic presents a very serious safety problem.
Jeep commander shuts off power while driving causing total loss of power...its gone on at fast speeds, slow speeds, while cruise control was engaged, not when it was engaged, night time, and day time...it seems to happen every 1,000 miles...i am now at 36,000 miles.
There is a 4/07 nhtsa investigation into 2006-7 jeep commanders' intermittent and persistent engine stalling problems - supposedly in response to 76 complaints.nhtsa really needs to read its own complaints about this problem, which can be found not only in the commander line but also in 2005-2008 jeep grand cherokees.there are hundreds of complaints on the internet (jeepforum.com, usenet news, etc.) about jeep vehicles stalling, besides the commander. I fear that even if chrysler is finally forced to address the problem under this investigation, they will simply point to the "2006-7 commanders" portion of the settlement and completely ignore the exact same problem in other years and other models of jeep. They cannot be allowed to continue waving off their customers, who paid for their products in good faith, and now are not being supported. They need to be forced to acknowledge and rectify this very wide spread problem immediately, before their negligence gets someone killed. Unfortunately, we lowly consumers have little to no power over a giant like chrysler. That is why we need organizations like the nhtsa to help us. Nhtsa, please review your other complaints under the jeep brand and expand your investigation as appropriate. Anyone else with a jeep that keeps stalling, please continue to post your complaints here and anywhere else you can find. These stalling problems need to be fixed, and chrysler needs to take ownership of this dangerous issue immediately.

Jeep commander limited 2006 stalled while driving at a speed of 25mph.car lost power steering and brakes.the car experienced a complete electrical failure and just died.events leading up to the failure include the car rumbling to the point where it feels as if would stall but did not.it finally did completely stall as noted in the opening sentences.the dealership where the car was purchased, stated they cannot pin point the exact cause but per chrysler a possible solution was to clean and reseal the main wiring harness to the power distribution center.after that they have been attempting phone calls to chrysler to troubleshoot the problem.we were told chrysler can't guarantee the problem will be found.now we are left with a car that is unsafe to drive as it may stall out while driving without warning.
Dt*: the contact stated while traveling 25 mph, the vehicle stalled, nearly causing an accident.the service dealer was contacted, but could not duplicate the problem to correct the issue.
On three occasions, my 2006 jeep commander has stalled while driving, each time while turning left.on one occasion, i lost complete control of steering, braking and accelerating; thankfully i was able to avoid the other vehicles in my vicinity.the other two times i was able to restart the vehicle while driving., but was almost rear-ended both times due to drastic deceleration.i will be taking my car in for service; however i?m not confident that they'll find anything.from what i've read, it is a common problem that is difficult to replicate.i have 3 young children and now fear for our lives each day.i hope that jeep will recognize this growing problem and recall the vehicle before somebody gets killed.if i had the means to buy a new car, i would in a second.i no longer feel safe in this car.
1) 2006 jeep commander began stalling just weeks after purchasing it.the vehicle has stalled about 10 times in 12 months.2)the vehicle completely stalls while driving (usually while in the process of slowing down), or when coming to stop or when beginning to go.this has happened in parking lots, intersections, as well as driving on busy roads.luckily the cars behind put on their brakes before rear-ending my car.however, the result could easily be an accident - which i am trying to prevent.3)brought the vehicle two times to the dealership where it was purchased.i was told that while they and chrysler are aware, they have not come up with a fix for the problem because they do not know what is causing it.i also called chrysler's customer service number and was told that i had to get a second opinion but there was nothing else they could do because the problem has not been diagnosed.
Engine will turn off while driving, all power goes out and you cannot steer the car.
I bought my 2006 jeep commander in 2006 as a demo with 18,000 miles on it. I really didn't drive it that much as you can tell by the mileage on it and it has only had three oil changes.when it reached about 20,000 miles it stalled on my way to work and i called and spoke to a tech where i bought the car, he told me that i had probably gotten some bad gas.then two weeks ago it stalled again and the engine light came on for a day, then it went out.it came on again and stayed on and it continued to stay on, and "service park assist" displayed on the dash.the dealer where we bought the car is 20 miles from where we live so i made an appointment with a dodge dealer about 3 miles from my home.on monday july 7th when driving there for the appointment, i was making a left hand turn and it shut down, no brakes, no steering, no lights on the dash, nothing.i got to the side of the road and it re-started after 3 tries.i made it to the dealer and they called my today and said it was ready and they had to install a tcm module.i went to pick it up, and on the way home, it did the same thing again, the only thing it didn't do was display the engine light, but the stalling and the "service park assist" came back on.i took it back to them and they hooked it back up to the computer and told me i needed to find a way home and they would call me tomorrow.they didn't know what was wrong with it yet.
Since the first few months that i owned this 2006 jeep commander it has randomly shut down while i am driving.i have noticed that it happens more often in the summer.it has been taken in and had pcm reprogramming, parts replaced, and other work.at the time we purchased it my husband was the gm at the dealership.the tech's tried everything.since then the dealership has switched to another automotive group.i have contacted several jeep service departments and many say there is nothing they can do.they are aware of the problem, but have no solutions other than what has already been done.i drive on highways with my two children often and several times it has cut off when speed limits where 65+ mph.i do not want to pass this problem along to another owner.i managed service departments for years and know how to react to problems, but i am concerned that jeep has done nothing to fix this.i know of several other owners who purchased vehicles at the same time who had the same problem.many have been traded in and now new owners are having to deal with this dangerous condition.
I was driving my 2006 jeep commander down the interstate when it jumped into 3rd gear and the check engine light came on. I pulled over at the next exit and turned the car off.

I step on the gas and the car doesn't move the engine shuts off and the steering wheel hardens and doesn't steer.

They even told me that when they find what's wrong with someone else's commander they would call me so i guess they still don't know what's wrong this had been happening now a lot lately.

My 2006 jeep commander has stalled with me several times. The scariest when i was turning into a middle school driveway and it just shut off leaving me without any brakes or steering. It has also stalled several times at the end of my driveway. But the worse problem is for the second time in 4 months it will not start. Last time it was a tipfailure. Something was wrong with the start up module. This was in jan. 23 08. Now, april 21, 2008 it has done it again. Last time it was still under warranty and i have called a tow truck this time too. It is still under warranty but with only 3000 miles to go. I am worried this part will continue to break. I am afraid i will be alone and the car will not crank somewhere. This is not safe. You must be able to depend on your vehicle starting. The last time it was repaired with part number 4692084-ab b;lci non 8015009 whatever all that means. It was run without any problems since that repair until today. Fortunately it broke down in my carport.

It will just completely turn off and i lose all steering. Please help!!
At approx 29k my 2006 jeep commander began acting like it was going to stall out while the engine idled whether in park or drive.it also would act like it was going to stall if i were turning and hit a curb or bump.examples of when this happened:1.at night, my engine was running, the car was indrive with my foot on the brake and my door was open; the interior lights began to dim and the engine almost cut off.2.i was turning right from one road to another and hit the curb and the engine almost stalled.3.i was stopped at an intersection waiting to turn right onto a road when the engine almost stalled.3.i wasparked with the engine running idle at a gas station looking for my atm card when the engine almost stalled.these instances seem to happen every couple of weeks.the jeep has been to 2 different dealers three different times for this and they told me that they can't replicate the problem and that my alternator is working at the correct amps.in addition, i have had transmission leaks and my family was left stranded 6 hours away due to a transmission problem that one dealer said was the mistake of another when they fixed my transmission leak.

Stalling while driving; loss of all lighting systems and power.
I was driving home from work one evenings and all my lights inside on the dash and the outside headlights flicker and flash and then turn off all at once . This is very dangerous i could be hit by another car because they cant see my black suv on the road, or i could crash because i cantsee what's in front of me.

The interior electrical lighting systems often goes out while driving in below freezing temperatures. This includes all speedometer, tachometer, and dash lights for all controls. This has been a problem since i purchased the vehicle new in february 2007. After five years, the led lights illuminating the switches for the fan speed, temperature control, and heated seats. I reported this under warranty but now i am told i am responsible for repair. The dealership cannot find the electrical fault. The led switch bulbs cannot simply be replaced as the entire unit for each control must be replaced.the engine was making a pinging sound and the dealership diagnosed it wrong 3 times.this should have been repaired under warranty when first reported. Many months later after warranty lapsed the dealership's corrective fix was replacing one side of the engine's hydraulic lifters.this made the problem a bit better but did not resolve it.
2006 jeep commander. The car stalls usually when turning, however it has done it at a red light. Car is powerless (brakes, steering, etc) and continues moving until the key is pulled out of the ignition. It has occurred at least 10 times, most of which have been turning at lights with oncoming traffic. Luckily, accidents were avoided. Nothing was done to correct this failure, after being reported repeatedly to henderson chrysler jeep. The dealership claims they cannot "duplicate" the problem;

Soon after i purchase my 2006 jeep commander sport 4x4 (5 speed)... I began to do some research on this vehicle (i should have done this prior to the purchase)... I was going through this complaint database and i was alarmed to read that this vehicle has a history of stalling. Well, it finally happened to me on 11/4/2007 (with 11,600 exact mileage) driving home from shopping with my family. The commander stalled out on during the highway merged. Luckily, i was in the far right lane to jump off the highway immediately. The power loss that i experience was only with ability to move the vehicle. My dashboards lights, headlights, radio; breaks were fully operational (thankfully). No accidents, no injuries except my children are now afraid of being inside of the commander. To be honest, so am i. There have been numerous reports on what is occurring?.. Everything from downloading an upgraded to debris in the hose. Either way, chrysler needs to address this immediately; the potential of death is very realistic.
As my mother was getting onto the 105 east fwy the engine made a loud bang and rumbling noises. Immediately following the engine completely turned off and the car was still in motion. The brakes were functioning properly thus my mother was able to come to a full stop on the shoulder of the fwy ramp. All the engine oil was spilling out of the vehicle. Once the car was towed to the dealer, they said the engine had a hole and not repairable. The car is barely 5 years old and purchased new. Last oil change was done on 3/16/11 and the auto center did not report any engine issues.
I took my 2006 jeep commander to my local dealer where i originally purchased it to get the stalling problem fixed. Five days later the service manager said that the problem was now solved (august 24,2007) finally. The service department said they put in a new program that would fix the jeep from just losing power. August 25 saturday morning at 8:13 while at an intersection the jeep just died again. Another problem is the windshield breaking easily. I believe the problem with the breaking windshield could be related to the inproper fitting of the windshield which results in a loud noise being heard inside the vehicle. The dealership said they won't fix the seal problem because my jeep has two cracks on it. I said "if you had fixed the windshield seal problem the first 3 times i brought it in we wouldn't have this problem'. No problems have yet to be solved. Ancira dealership in san antonio,tx. Many jeep owners are purchasing multiple windshields at $385 a pop. The dealer tried to say it's just me until i pointed out all the other complaints in writing with all different vin numbers and even showed her the rental car (jeep commander) which also had a cracked windshield. She's convinced too.
My 2006 jeep commander (4.7 liter) constantly stalls and hesitates and the dealer keeps telling me they can't find anything wrong but there are hundreds of complaints online about the same thing and i want to know why this has not been recalled. Also the third row seat belts seem to have a problem.

My 2006 jeep commander has now stalled 4 times for no apparent reason. The engine dies and i lose power steering and brakes. The first time was when i was pulling into a parking lot. I managed to restart it and no harm was done. The second time i was pulling out of my driveway, and again i was able to restart it and no harm was done. The third time was last week. This time it stalled and i could not restart it. I had it towed to a dealer, sherman jeep in skokie, il, for repairs. They had it a week and charged me $616.00 and could not give me a satisfactory explanation as to why it stalled. On the way home from the dealership i took the expressway and the car stalled at 65 mph in heavy traffic. It was extremely difficult to control and i almost collided with a truck. I thought i was going to die. I managed to get it over to the side of the road, but it would not immediately start. After about 15 minutes i tried it again, and this time it started. I got home, but i am scared to death to drive this car.
On several occasions the jeep's engine has completely shut off while driving down the highway. The jeep has been taken to several dealerships but no problems have shown up on the computer diagnostics, so service techs won't touch it. This is very unsafe, chrysler will do nothing with the v6 only the v8.

Since the beginning of ownership, this car has stalled many times (as well as other various and odd electrical problems.)many times i can turn the car off and on and it will restart.this does happen in parking lots and highway speeds as well. I have also lost power steering and brakes when in parking lots at a very slow acceleration speed. I have also had air bag warning lights go on and stay on then randomly shut off.the dealer has tried to help resolve but is limited by chrysler's ability to recognize that there is a problem.if there is no code in the cars computer, there is no problem and can't be duplicated.if the problem can't be duplicated, there is no repair. But it keeps happening over and over.i have filed a complaint with chrysler with no resolve.the dealership has had my car and drove it for 3 weeks to try to duplicate the problem.since it is so random and they just didn't get enough time/miles in, the problem didn't happen.it stalled again about 3 weeks after that pulling out of my driveway.there has been no repair, because chrysler says there is no problem.i have been in the middle of an intersection with a 15 year old on a permit driving with oncoming traffic.i have had this car since march 2006 and this has been occurring many times repeatedly since then.not all have been documented and because it occasionally happens on weekends or holidays, i have no ability to get it in to a dealership.in order for them to be able to read a code, i would have to leave the car in a stalled position wherever it occurred and have it towed directly to the dealer.this is highly impractical and unsafe.especially scary at high speeds on the highway.i do not want to be a casualty of chrysler's failure to recognize that there are thousands of these vehicles out there doing this exact same thing.do a "google" searchsee the #'s!something needs to be done!!!
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander.while driving 10 mph, the vehicle shut off without warning.the warning indicator lights illuminated.the vehicle remained off for approximately two seconds.this failure has occurred once before.the contact took the vehicle to the dealer, but they were unable to duplicate the failure.the powertrain was unknown.the current mileage is 9,600 and failure mileage was 9,550.
Cruising at highway speeds jeep commander shuts off completely.luckily drivers have been able to steer out of traffic.this has also been observed at lower speeds.
I purchased a 2006 jeep commander last year.i have had the following items replaced on my jeep front passenger interior door panel.strange noise coming from my car that sounded like playing cards in bike tires ended with replacing front axel ring and pinion.car kept popping out of gear the entire gear shift was replaced. My passenger window had to be fixed it kept sticking halfway up. I had a problem where my car kept stalling.i was told the first time that no error appears on the computer and jeep knew of no issue with cars stalling so maybe it was bad gas.it died several more times and finally they did replace a part inside the idol.i also had an issue where my headlights kept turning off as i drove or would flash on and off.they replaced the headlight switch. I have had the rubber stripping from my back driver side window come off and now it is occurring on the passenger side. From the beginning i have told them i do not feel my transmission is working properly that it shifts hard and when i shift from reverse to drive there is a big hesitation.i have been told no error is appearing on computer and that jeep as usual has no known issues so they had no suggestions.once again they thought it was a gas issue moving from winter to summer blend.the last time i had it in when it was stalling i told them it the transmission was still hesitating and would make a pop noise at times then it would go.it is still occurring and at times the car acts like it might not shift into drive.i am satisfied with how my dealership is working with me they are doing their best to help me.i blame jeep/chrysler all you have to do is search the web to see that there are so many others just like me with the exact same issue.they need to recall these cars now and if they can not find the problem then replace them for us.
Just bought 2006 jeep commander (3.7l v6 4x4) used with 14k miles, clean car fax reportwithin first 36 hours of ownership speed sensor went out resulting in serviceapproximately 2 weeks after ownership i stalled with my 8 and a half month pregnant wife on the interstate.we just had it towed to the dealership and am questioning whether or not this vehicle will be safe for my wife and child.waiting until something disastrous happens to do something is not a good policy and feel that is the only thing that will cause the government to do something.

When making hard turns my 2006 jeep commander will occasionally try to stall. Pressing the gas pedal down slowly, the engine acts like it is trying to stall, and speed does not increase. My example & definition of a hard turn: you're a car or two from a red light. Light turns green, you accelerate 20 feet or so and make a 90 degree turn. Happens on average at least once a month. Dealer says they "are aware of problems, but have no fix from jeep". Have heard this for a year.

My husband and myself own a 2006 jeep commander. We have been experiancing shifting problems which progressed to electrical problems which have unfortunately progressed to one, complete engine or system failure. I lost all electrical, my engine, everything!!!! it was a complete stall out that took 4 times of trying to start it before it worked again. I have had it into the dealer repeatedly with different parts replaced each time, but it's still a mystery as to what is causing this dangerous problem.

My 2006 jeep commander occasionally "hesitates" when i accelerate. Thus far it has not caused an accident, but chances are good that it might happen one day soon. This hesitation often happens when i am turning at an intersection and i fear that it may happen when i am unable to evade an oncoming car.
Upon turning left or right from a stop or near stop the engine simply cut off.
I own a jeep commander with a 3.7 v6 engine 2006 4x4. I have had issues with stalling and idling.i have taken it to the dealer on a couple of times and they cannot fix the problem.

Twice while pulling into parking spaces, once while pulling out of a drive-through into the main road, and once while coming to a stop sign, my 2006 jeep commander has stalled, losing brakes and steering.i have to restart the car using the key.no indicator light tells me what happened or that there is anything wrong.the first time it took into the dealer, they said that my computerized fuel mix ratio was way off.they said it should be at 0 and that mine was at 6.something.they reset it to 1.5, the lowest they could get it to.they felt that this was the problem causing the stall.i got the car back and it did not stall for two months but then stalled again.i took it back to the dealer and they stated that they could not find any computerized indicator to tell them why this was happening and could not make it happen while it was at the shop.the shop manager said that he even looked on the internet to see if there were any other cases and could find none.hesaid that there was nothing from daimler/chrysler about it either.when i went to the ntsba web site, i found that there was an investigation into this since feb 2007 and that daimler/chrysler responded that they are now doing their own investigation.if this is the case, why would the dealership not know anything about it.i got the car back and within two weeks it stalled again at the stop sign. This last incident was on sept 13, 2007.i called the dealer and they do not have a solution.
Lost power which included steering and lighting systems (interior and headlamps).

My car has a recall, manufacturer recall number p41.it is a very dangerous issue and the manufacturer states recall incomplete, remedy not yet available. Yet they say this may result in loss of engine power, power steering, and braking assist increasing the risk of a crash and disabling one or more of the vehicles safety features including the frontal airbags. I have not even been officially notified.i had another issue and came across this.i went to my dealer and they said they couldn't fix it yet, and they can not provide me with a rental.they have known about this since september 3, 2014. Why isn't something being done to protect the people on the roads.

"06" jeep commander with under 5k miles will "shut down" while i am driving.it does not appear to be speed related.the lights will shut off as will the engine, power steering and power brakes, as well as all auxiliary equipment (radio and such).it is presently at the dealership for the second time as they were not able to define the source of the problem upon initial inspection.
I have a 06 jeep commander that has been completely shutting down while i'm driving. The rpms go up over 3 and 4 and the gears shifts from high to low. And also my engine light comes on and stays on.
On at least ten different occasions the 2006 jeep commander has stalled at speeds ranging from 15 to 70 miles per hour.power is shut off completely leading to the loss of all functionality.if the steering wheel is turned slightly, the wheel locks, leaving the vehicle in a situation where it has to coast to a stop.this is a terrifying experience with small children in the vehicle.accidents have nearly occurred as a result of this happening.there have been seven occasions when this problem has been reported to the local dealer with nothing accomplished to correct the problem.the dealer blames the operators of the vehicle for hitting the key with their knee.this is not the cause of the problem as it occurs when the driver's knee is nowhere near the key. The service department apparently can not duplicate this problem when they service the vehicle for some reason though it is a very real issue for my family.
While driving in speeds ranging from 5 mph to 20 mph the jeep commander has stalled.the stalling happened about 2 - 3 time per month in traffic and stop lights.the dealership said they were not familiar with this problem, and they would not be able to assist me unless they could replicate the problem.they have not been able to fix the problem so far.

I filed a previous complaint regarding my 2006 jeep commander 5.7 l hemi regarding the engine light coming on and the hesitation you get when you are driving.i was told that the pcm sensor needed replaced and it has been but the problem is still there.we have had the o2 sensor replaced twice, the gas filter replaced, transmission fluid and filter changed, my jeep has been in the shop many times for this same problem and they cannot duplicate the problem on some visits.this is a huge safety concern if my jeep were to stall from hesitation this could cause a deadly accident.i have no idea where to go from here but i will keep on going until i get someone to listen and correct this problem or take these vehicles off the road.

There is a 4/07 nhtsa investigation into 2006-7 jeep commanders' intermittent and persistent engine stalling problems - supposedly in response to 76 complaints.nhtsa really needs to read its own complaints about this problem, which can be found not only in the commander line but also in 2005-2008 jeep grand cherokees.there are hundreds of complaints on the internet (jeepforum.com, usenet news, etc.) about jeep vehicles stalling, besides the commander. I fear that even if chrysler is finally forced to address the problem under this investigation, they will simply point to the "2006-7 commanders" portion of the settlement and completely ignore the exact same problem in other years and other models of jeep. They cannot be allowed to continue waving off their customers, who paid for their products in good faith, and now are not being supported. They need to be forced to acknowledge and rectify this very wide spread problem immediately, before their negligence gets someone killed. Unfortunately, we lowly consumers have little to no power over a giant like chrysler. That is why we need organizations like the nhtsa to help us. Nhtsa, please review your other complaints under the jeep brand and expand your investigation as appropriate. Anyone else with a jeep that keeps stalling, please continue to post your complaints here and anywhere else you can find. These stalling problems need to be fixed, and chrysler needs to take ownership of this dangerous issue immediately.
My wife and i purchased a new 2006 jeep commander lt with a 5.7 liter v8 on july 24, 2006. Four days later we went on a road trip from washington dc to boston, ma. Just outside new york city, the commander stalled (went dead, no power brakes, steering) in rush hour traffic. Scared us both. Managed to get to the side of the road.put it in park and turned the ignition and started the commander and continued driving.the commander had less than 800 miles on it.we calledthe dealer. They said to bring it in when we got back. The next day on our way back home we stopped in a jeep dealership in mystic conn.they ran a diagnostic and came up with 2 codes p1684 and p0884.they cleared the history, tested again and found nothing.we took it in to the dealership on monday july 31.they said that they could not duplicate the problem.the car stalled again on august 15th, 2006.the commander now has 1350 miles and is back in the shop and the dealership doesn't know what the problem is. We called daimler chrysler customer service to lodge a compliant, the customer service advisor said that he had not ever heard that there was a stalling problem with the 2006 commanders.my wife is afraid that the commander will stall again and cause a serious accident and kill someone including us. We believe there is a serious problem with this car and others according to others on jeepforum.com.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander.the contact stated that the vehicle is stalling and the engine shuts off while driving 10 to 20 mph.the dealer kept the car one or two days and was unable to determine the cause of failure.the vehicle is still under warranty.the current mileage is 30,000 and failure mileage was 1,000.updated 02-01-08.
This problem happens year round.once you put the vehicle into drive, all of the shift lights "prnd" light up and the vehicle won't accelerate.if you are already driving down the road/ freeway, it will randomly light up and stop accelerating.when it randomly occurs, it happens with no warning, andyou have to attempt to pull the vehicle over to the side of road, put it into neutral or park or restart the vehicle, and attempt it again.the check engine light will come on and the problem will happen repeatedly over a week period, then the problem will stop for a week or two and then resurface at the worst time- for example an intersection, an on-ramp, a busy street, and it has presented huge safety issues for me and my family.does it take someone dying for this to get recalled?i have read forum after forum of the same issue amongst consumers with my exact make, model, and year (and earlier models) and yet, when i called jeep, they say they have never heard of it, there is no recall, and i've been turned away.
2007 jeep commander, v8 engine.....this vehicle has stalled numerous times since i purchased new 02/2006.it started about 3 months after purchase and is continuing to stall to the point that i will not allow my teenager daughter to drive the vehicle.my dealership (i have purchased 6 new chrysler vehicles over past 16 years) says they have no idea how to fix, that i will have to wait on chrysler to recall if there is a problem.someone is going to get killed in this vehicle, is that what it takes to get someone to realize there is a problem?they suggested that i called and complain to you as well as chrysler.....

Multiple incidents of stalling in traffic while vehicle is idling.most recent stall included loss of power steering and power brakes.
While driving my 2006 jeep commander (5.7l hemi engine) at approximately 60 mph, the engine stalled, forcing me to pull over to the side of the road.once stopped, the vehicle did restart, but after four days of diagnosing the problem, the dealership is unable to identify the source of the problem.

My 2006 jeep commander continually stalls, threatening the lives of whoever is in the car. There is no warning. Suddenly there will be a complete loss of control over the vehicle. No warning lights, no bells, sounds, whistles...nothing! the only way to remedy is to turn vehicle off and restart. This turns in to a life threatening incident when the traffic behind you is unaware that you are in fact stalled. The dealership has no updates or complaints of this problem (ya, right) and drives it around the block...with no incidences occurring. If they think it's going to happen while they're driving the vehicle, they're wrong. I 'm risking my families lives every time we get in the car. It's the most expensive piece of junk i've ever owned! visibility out the rear window when the 3rd row seats are up is just about zero. This is extremely dangerous. You can't see cars, kids, or your neighbors house when you're trying to see what's behind you. Driver's side locks on it's own. Luckily the passenger doors remain unlocked, so i haven't locked myself out...yet.

(1) car is off, but air conditioner, or blower, is turned on(2) car starts, engine light, or gas gauge doesn't come on, it starts, you drive a bit, it makes noise(s) then stalls(3) turned car off after it rolls to a stop.when i turn the air conditioner, or blower to the off position i seem to not have as many stalls, if not any.when the dealership looks at it when the engine light is off they cannot see any error codes.when the engine light is on who is near a dealer to see the freaking' error codes?!?!?!

I purchased a 2006 jeep commander 5.7 l hemiin may of 2009 with 46k miles .shortly after the power steering pump went out ,i had it replaced .then the car started to stall pretty much everyday and i took to the dealer and was told it needed a new battery . Two dayslater the car stalled again on the interstate and this time the dealer told me that i needed a new ignition switch and the problem will be fixed. This reduce the amount of stalls and it will happen about twice a month . Then i was driving with my son in the 3rd row seat and i cut off by another car and had to slam on my brakes the belt buckle broke off and my son end up on the floor . In july 2010 i was driving at about 65 mph and all of the sudden all the lights started to flash and the dash board lit upand engine stalled ,i lost the power steering ,accelerator become very loose and stuck to the floor ,brakes did not work 'i mput the car in neutral and used the emergency brakes to stop. There is smoke coming out of the hood so i got out of the car and called a tow truck . At the dealer i was told that there was a complete engine failure and that i needed a new engine . The car is out of warranty and the cost will be 8k to fix.
My husband and i financed a used 2006 jeep commander while he was home on 2 weeks of leave from and 18 month tour in afghanistan.about a week after we took the car home it stalled out for the first time. A week after that it did it again and we immediately pulled off the road and took it to the closest dealer which was luckily less than 2 miles down the road.he hooked it up to diagnostics and told us something about the computer recording a freak reading of barometric pressure which is what made the car shut off and that it shouldn't happen again.after my husband returned to afghanistan to fight terrorism for the us army i was driving home after dark from out of town and my headlights started to flicker...the frequency of this kept increasing and each time this happened the interior lights would also flicker and it became increasingly difficult to have the lights come back on.luckily i got home before they quit working completely.today, i was at the end of a drive to visit family and the car stalled for the third time in less than a month!i lost brakes, steering, lights, ac, and radio.traffic was heavy and i narrowly avoided an accident!!!!after about a minute, i was able to pop the car into neutral and get it started again.thank god my two children were not in the car!i got to my relatives house and began researching this problem and found numerous complaints on the internet, something we were not made aware of when buying the vehicle.the fact that this has happened to hundreds of other families makes me livid.my husband is getting shot at everyday for his country and its okay for an american manufacturer to sell faulty vehicles to people?!?!?!
*while driving down a level highway at about 70 mph, while using cruise, the rpms jumped drastically as if going into overdrive. Although it shifted for whatever reason, as i stated it was flat ground, there was no pick up speed. **however, at other times i have had the 2006 jeep commander accelerate for no reason. I was not pushing on the gas and it has happened while in cruise. ***i have also experienced sputtering mostly at about 40 mph but it has happened at speeds around 70 mph on the highway. Thankfully traffic has been clear enough to regain proper control. No pattern. I took it to the dealer after they told me to look for a pattern and there wasn't one. There were no error codes and the "situation could not be duplicated". Not real pleased. I am listing each type of failure separately on this site. I am also simply using a basic date because it has happened multiple times. When i picked up the jeep i was told it's a big motor and people just aren't used to driving them. My husband was raised on a farm, so he knows "big motors". Not acceptable. It feels very unsafe.

I own a 2006 jeep commander sport. It has stalled on me approximately 4 times. Most recently today it stalled after backing out of my driveway into the street. I have had it in for service in which i believe the map sensor was replaced. This did not fix the issue. I have read numerous issues with this by other commander owners and thought i would file a incident report as well.
Engine stalled with no warning while decelerating on a residential street.put vehicle in park and it restarted with no problem.
On a number of occasions while driving my 2006 jeep commander limited's engine has shut off.the power steering goes out, the engine cuts off and you are just sitting there.this is incredibly dangerous as there is always traffic and you don't have the steering to easily move your car to a safe place.this needs to be addressed immediately by chrysler.
06' jeep commander stalls when completely stopped, when making uturns, and two times when driving at approximately 25-30mph.i have had this complaint for quite sometime and have taken it to the dealership twice, with them brushing it off as if nothing is wrong with the vehicle.if this is not fixed peoples lives on in danger not only the passengers in the vehicles, but surrounding motorist.
Typically when idling at a light or stop sign the engine will die upon attempting to accelerate.7 separate incidentsthe engines died once while decelerating at about 45 mph.almost have been hit by car behind two different times when this happened. Have taken the car to the dealer 3 different times and got the same answer - unable to duplicate.the carhas beena safety hazard since purchasing new in december 2006.the last occurrence was listed below as the incident date.
I have a 2006 jeep commander. I was driving my 7 year old son to camp. I was driving about 45 mph on a 2 lane road. Suddenly and without any warning the engine, as well as all electrical items completely shut off. I also lost all assist functions. When i was applying the brakes i got the noise that usually you hear when the abs system has taken control. After pulling to the side of the road i restarted the car and the engine warning light came on. After dropping my son off i attempted to restart the car. I had no instrument panel functions (gas gauge, water temp, odometer, etc.). I will be taking the car in to the dealership on 7/5/2007 for analysis.
Vehicle stalled without warning. Engine completely shutdown. 2nd occurrence.
Re: pe07-009 -- 2006 jeep commander 4.7l v8 -- automatic stalled every time backed out of garage and on other slight inclines at slow speeds.had the car for 6 days on a rental from enterprise.investigator chrislash may want to query enterprise about the performance of the commanders in their fleet -- quick way to capture feedback on a large number of cars.moreover, enterprise seems to know there is a problem because they are very willing to sell these cars out of the fleet program well in advance of the vehicle meeting minimum mileage limits usually observed. We were considering buying a car from them until we discovered on the web-blogs that many customers have experienced similar stalling incidents.

2006 jeep commander - purchased new in 02/2006....vehicle continues to stall (motor die completely) when driving at slow speeds, ie pulling out from red lights or turning into driveways, etc.i have reported to dealership several times without any luck, called today but they said they do not know what it is and until jeep/chrysler lets them know how to fix it there is nothing they can do.this is very dangerous and someone is going to get hurt or killed by this vehicle.
Took new car in for the first oil change. Drove 30+ miles and the engine disintegrated requiring a total engine replacement. Dealer denies any wrongdoing and blames it on a manufacturing defect from chrysler.this is a new jeep commander 4.7l 2006 vehicle.
The car goes completely dead while being driven.electrical, steering, brakes, everything goes out.the car is moving when this happens.it has never quit running while stopped, which would not be as dangerous.have to struggle to control the car and bring it to a stop, while traffic is coming at me from all sides.when i put it in park and start it up, it runs fine.this has happened 9 times in less than a year.it's potentially deadly to the driver and passengers in the car, and any other cars or pedestrians in the vicinity.i've complained many times but the service dept. Discouraged me from bringing it in since it didn't happen every time i drove the car, but finally got so bad i took it in.two times they could not find out what the problem is.now the car has a monitor hooked up to it to record any fault codes.however, i will not drive the car.it is parked in the driveway and i am driving my daughter's car.we have filed a lemon law complaint and will pursue vigorously for the car to be repurchased so i can buy a different car that doesn't put me and my family in harm's way.
My 2006 jeep commander has stalled out numerous times. The service department at the dealership i purchased it from and the jeepcorp. Have no answer nor a fix for the problem. I am afraid that this vehicle is unsafe t drive. One day i was pulling off a parking lot and tried to stop to keep from hitting a vehicle and still ened up hitting the persons fender. Not sure if my vehicle stalled at that time or not because it all happened so fast.
My 2006 jeep commander has stalled on my twice now while driving down the road.didn't realize it had stalled until i tried to give gas or use the brake.hard to maneuver off to side of road due to power steering going out after the stall.very dangerous!

I have a 2006 jeep commander, i have had this vehicle since november 2005. I have taken this vehicle to the dealer on different occasion due to my car stalling. It isn't until my steering wheel locks and i can't push the gas peddle that i realize i have no power. My dash lights don't come on, my radio doesn't go off. I just stall... The dealer says " the computer doesn't register the cut off", and they can't find the problem.

I have an 8 year old daughter and i would like to have my case investigated.as i submit this my car is in the shop now.
Dt*: the contact stated that the vehicle stalled unexpectedly after approaching a stop sign on 06/20/06.the contact depressed the accelerator which made the vehicle leap forward, then stall out.the 2nd incident also occurred during attempted acceleration.on 07/13/06 the vehicle stalled unexpectedly while cruising 55 mph on a dry and flat road surface.there were no warnings prior to the three incidents.the contact pulled over and contacted the dealer.the engine restarted with no delay after all 3 incidents.the vehicle was taken to the dealer on 07/13/06 who could not duplicate the problem.the dealer has attempted to repair the vehicle 3 times but could not determine the cause of the problem.the vehicle was equipped with an automatic transmission.
I just read an article in newspaper about the jeep commander's stalling problem. This has happened to me, but luckily, not at a high speed on the highway. The commander has only stalled once on me, actually, within the last week, while driving, but many times it seriously hesitates when i start to accelerate. Questions to dealer said maybe it was poor gas, or a vapor lock (about the stalling)? i never had it documented with them about the stall, now after reading this article, i am concerned. The stall happened within the last week, so it has not been back to dealer. It started right up after i coasted to side of road, and placed in park.have there been any complaints on the windshield angle, i have gone through three from rocks!!! glass very straight up! i do like the truck though.purchase date approximate. I do like dealer, and have not addressed this problem to them (stall), because it only happened once, and i was unaware of current problem being looked into. I just wanted you to report mine in with your statistics.
Experienced engine stall and loss of power to instrument panel momentarily while approaching residential 30 mph speed.had just pulled out of my driveway and was accelerating when it happened.i noticed the stall and looked at the instrument panel, which appeared to be inoperative.then it 'came back to life' and i tried to accelerate.the engine responded and i kept driving with no other issues.
My husband and i are leasing a 2006 jeep commander since nov 2005.i have been involved in 3 separate traffic accidents on may 31 2006, august 8 2006 and september 20 2007. The engine stalled during low speed turns on both august 8 2006 and september 20 2007. I had just left a stop sign on may 31 2006 when my engine stalled in the intersection, resulting in a crash.i was cited for failure to yield on may 31 2006.i wasn't cited on august 8 2006 or september 20 2007, although the police report from the september 20 2007 accident describes a "failure to yield." i have also had ongoing tire pressure issues as well as intermittent brake failure issues.prior to may 31 2006 i had never been involved in a traffic accident nor had i received any traffic citations. I am 48 years old.my vehicle was repaired twice after the first 2 accidents, but i am awaiting contact from the other party's auto insurer before proceeding with the repairs following yesterday's accident.i've brought the 2006 jeep commander in to bud mulcahy's jeep on several occasions. That dealership is now closed.
I own a 2006 jeep commander 4x4 v8. I have had a ton of problems with it. It makes a terrible wind noise coming from the windshield, my ac sounds like a freight train when switch to or from ac, and the most dangerous is that my car dies while turning on a regular basis. I have taken the car in and the dealer tells me they can not find the problem. I am so annoyed with my death trap. I drive around my 3 kids, my husband, and myself. I fear for ours lives being in this car. It is unsafe and will end up killing someone one day.
There is a 4/07 nhtsa investigation into 2006-7 jeep commanders' intermittent and persistent engine stalling problems - supposedly in response to 76 complaints.nhtsa really needs to read its own complaints about this problem, which can be found not only in the commander line but also in 2005-2008 jeep grand cherokees.there are hundreds of complaints on the internet (jeepforum.com, usenet news, etc.) about jeep vehicles stalling, besides the commander. I fear that even if chrysler is finally forced to address the problem under this investigation, they will simply point to the "2006-7 commanders" portion of the settlement and completely ignore the exact same problem in other years and other models of jeep. They cannot be allowed to continue waving off their customers, who paid for their products in good faith, and now are not being supported. They need to be forced to acknowledge and rectify this very wide spread problem immediately, before their negligence gets someone killed. Unfortunately, we lowly consumers have little to no power over a giant like chrysler. That is why we need organizations like the nhtsa to help us. Nhtsa, please review your other complaints under the jeep brand and expand your investigation as appropriate. Anyone else with a jeep that keeps stalling, please continue to post your complaints here and anywhere else you can find. These stalling problems need to be fixed, and chrysler needs to take ownership of this dangerous issue immediately.
Truck stalled 4 times twice at medium speeds with my wife and son in vehicle. Dealer could find nothing wrong at time.happened again last week then happened yesterday twice with my wife driving out of state in the left lane doing 65 mph boom it just shut down couldn't even be started in neutral she had to go into the median strip stop put the vehicle in park and start it . Then 15 minutes later the same thing . The car is now at the dealer and so far told me they can find nothing wrong at this time.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. The contact stated that he heard a loud screaming sound.upon inspection, he concluded that the timing belts caused that failure.he took the vehicle to the dealer and they rerouted the timing belts and the blower motor.approximately two days while driving 60 mph, the vehicle vibrated excessively.the contact took the vehicle to the dealer and they performed a wheel alignment.one week later he heard the screaming noise again.the dealer repaired the serpentine belt however two weeks later he heard a loud noise coming from the engine.the dealer stated the compressor caused the failure.as of january 7, 2008, the dealer had not repaired the vehicle.the failure mileage was 35,121 and current mileage was 36,120.
I own a 2006 jeep commander and i have had to take it in to have the bolts in the manifold replaced three times now. We bought the jeep brand new in aug. 06. The first time the bolts broke were in may 08, the 2nd time was july 09 and now apr 10. The first time the bolts broke the jeep was under warranty, the other 2 times i've had to pay out of pocket for the repairs. We drive the vehicle for everyday use and there should be no reason for these bolts to keep breaking. I have called chrysler to let them know about it, but got no where.the first incident i had one broken bolt, the 2nd time there were 3 bolts broken and this time there are 2 broken. We have owned many cars and never once had to replace bolts in the manifold until purchasing this jeep. My mechanic tells me that bolts breaking off in the manifold is not a normal thing that should be happening. The commander we own has an 8 cylinder engine in it.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. The contact stated that the transmission, the catalytic converter, and the windshield wipers failed. The contact also stated that the vehicle failed to shift gears and the seat belt failed to retract. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the transmission solenoid and the catalytic converter sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the seat belt and the windshield wiper motor were not replaced. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. The contact stated that the vehicle emitted a loud clicking sound after starting. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed that the studs that held the intake manifold cracked. The dealer stated that the engine needed to be taken apart in order to determine if the manifold needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and filed a complaint. The contact was then referred to nhtsa. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 85,900 and the current mileage was 86,151....updated 09/12/12 updated 09/18/2012
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. The contact noticed a strong odor of exhaust fumes inside the vehicle. The contact inspected the vehicle and indicated that the exhaust manifold bolt was structurally unsound. The vehicle had not been diagnosed by a dealer or an independent mechanic. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was not available.
Our 06 jeep commander has been a nightmare since the day we purchased it used with 14k miles on it in 3/07. We continue to have problems with the dash lights coming on, stalling just today 7/22- the lights lit up and the air conditioner quit working!!! no fan no blower... Nothing. It has been brought in for the recall for this but it keeps happening. Oh and did i mention that autopark jeep in cary, nc sold me a lemon/buyback.... They gave me the carfax report after 30 visits to the service dept.... Fool me once,fool me twice... I am hoping that jeep will buy it back again for this complete lemon!! i know have 37k on it and the service dept was talking that they did not know if jeep would cover the work.... They can keep it..
I took my car to the recall to get the reflash in may of last year. When the winter came i tried using my 4 wheel drive and the "service 4 wheel drive" error. Fix this!
Apparently there is/was a defect in either the design or production of the door handle assembly in the 2006 jeep commanders.the plastic housing which contains the door opening mechanism becomes too brittle and cracks rendering the opening mechanism inoperable.on my commander all but one door is affected. At the moment, only two out of the four doors work, the front-side passenger and the driver-side rear. If this vehicle was in an accident in which there was a need to exit quickly (fire or water), the lives of my family would be in extreme jeopardy. I posted a video on youtube, and have heard from many other with the same issue. Chrysler jeep produced approximately 80,000 of these vehicles in 2006. I truly believe there are thousands of there jeep commanders on the road with this same issue. In fact the condition is so prevalent; one company is producing an after-market repair kit.please see my video at the following link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffq0oki7zjy.
After a few minutes car will shut off. Im at a stop sign it shuts off, i am yielding to oncoming traffic it shuts off.the vehicle revs up in park.

After having problems with dashboard lights going all on and off while driving two years ago, now my transmission has failed and the computer has gone out of the car.i have had ongoing issues with the air conditioning, and have replaced the module in the air conditioning to just have the issue re-appear a year later.the cruise control has gone out.and with heavy rains, i have leaking with my sunroof.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. The contact stated that the air condition failed and would not blow cold air. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the dealer performed a leak test that located the failure at the air conditioning lines. The air conditioning lines were located at the rear wheel and accumulated salt, thus causing the air conditioner lines to corrode and leak. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but the vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 93,000 and the current mileage was 106,000.
2006 jeep commander 4.7l. Instrument panel lights all flash randomly on and speedometer fluctuates up and down, occasionally radio shuts off too when this cycle happens. Loss of power and car stalls without warning at low speed.
Dt*:the contact stated while the jack was supporting the vehicle, the metal in the jack became distorted.the dealership and manufacturer were alerted.updated 05/02/06.
Below is what i sent to jeep. I have their respondents in my email. I can proved as requested.this correspondence is to document my concern with the safety of my jeep commander; year 2006, make ltd, vin [xxx]. There is an electrical issue that is causing various components of the vehicle to malfunction. Examples of these episodes are the following: the a/c cutting in and out, the dashboard flickering on and off, the speedometer flickering radically up and down, the audio center turning on and off, headlights to flicker, the turning signals to not correctly operate.?i recently replaced the audio unit because the malfunction caused the unit to blow. The problem has been occurring since 2012; initially the occurrences were rare but have been increasing in consistence and escalating since then.i tried addressing the issue on 6.12.2012 at chapman scottsdale autoplex.the problem continued. I tried readdressing 05.01.2014 at chapman scottsdale autoplex. I have incurred direct cost of approximately $275 and have supporting documentation to support. Chapman scottsdale autoplex is stating that i need to replace a dimmer switch for a cost of $229.00. I am not confident that is will resolve the issue and neither is the dealership. I originally purchased the vehicle at royal gate dodge chrysler jeep, inc. On 04.24.2009. I believe this issue is a matter that the manufacture should address and resolve. These occurrences are not routine maintenance items. I would prefer to address this matter without filing a formal correspondence to national highway traffic safety administration. I will be providing a copy of this correspondence to my attorney [xxx]&for record purposes. Please respond to this correspondence within seven business of receipt. I look forward to resolving this matter.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Just as i was slowing down to 30 mph to enter a parking lot the entire dashboard lit up and then all lights faded and turned off. The ac turned off and the radio turned off. The car still continued driving but the power steering was gone, causing the car to shake and jolt mid turn. The brakes weren't working as they normally would resulting in a very dangerous situation had any other car been close to me at the time. I took it to my mechanic right away and he tested everything, including the alternator and the battery. Everything was functioning at 100% capacity and he couldn't find a reason for the check engine light to be on. This has happened 3 more times. I am unable to drive the vehicle in fear that it will break down or my family or another driver.
1.it leaks.whenever there is rain i have 2-3 inches of water in the front foot area on both sides.in addition to that water leaks through the lining and front pillars of the truck landing on the dashboard.what is this about?this not only results in my time to drain out the water it also leads to a gross musty smell.after a rain i can hear the water swishing back and forth in ht roof of my car.this is rediculous.further this issue has done something to the electrical system.2.the electrical system. The driver's side door window/lock/mirror switches no longer work. So that means that the driver's side window hasn't been down in forever.that makes life quite difficult.the next electrical problem is that for no apparent reasons lights come on.as i driving the interior lights just start to shine bright all of them at the same time. One night i woke up at three in the morning to find my headlights on.i tried to turn them off but couldn't.it eventually wore the battery out.lastly electronics wise is my dashboard lights flicker crazy.3.the door handles.behind the actual door handle is plastic.this has all broken away.i am sure it is just a matter of time before i can open the doors at all.4.it just stops running.five times now as i am driving (streets or highway) the truck has just shut down.fortunately it starts right back up but this is extemely dangerous. This form asks for dates...all of this is ongoing.
2006 jeep commander with 93000. I have had serviced multiple times over brakes and suspension. Brakes will just grind when trying to stop at times. Brakes have been replaced and problem still occurs. Every mechanic has said everything looks good. Had bigotires do 3 inspections on brakes and suspension and everything checked out! suspension- i have had services 3 times. All new parts have been put on front drivers side yet problem still persist. Popping noise and squeaking when turning and hitting speed bumps or pot holes and very noisy when backing up. Lighting has also started to go off and on! i believe something is wrong with the lighting. Sometimes when i turn them on they do not come on and once i turned them off and they did not turn off and made battery go dead but once jumps they were back to normal except my back tail light which i have tried having replaced multiple times does not work anymore and front passenger side head light has some major issues! also it is very hard to see when it rains even with brand new wipers there just wasn't much thought put into the commanders! too many blind spots and also door handles on the inside easily break off!
Driving to work at an intersection. In the midst of turning left on to the road to my work parking lot... My car stalled on me.again, i was in an intersection with on coming traffic. No lights came on (warning lites) no weird sounds , no jerking - just stalled. Started back up once i turned the key off and then on again.
While driving al dash lights will light up and heat will shut off.. Come back on and happens again. There's no certain times it happens wheneve it wants to between 1-15 times a day driving and parked. Sunroof leaks through tubes into passenger side floor board and freezes windshield if temp is low. Transmission overheated warning comes on and transmission/ and or fluid is fine. Have had all issues checked and they can not find the problem! also need is reading code that suddenly my key isn't registered since this has been happening and my auto start won't work because of the key not being linked to my car anymore. This is unsafe and eventually will stop me from being able to drive my car. The lights all come on and then go off while driving on any street any speed or even parked. Heat shuts off while lights are on and comes back on after they shut off.
While driving home from work i noticed my truck was slowing down without me applying the brakes and once i did apply the brakes i was informed i had only one brake light working. At that time i immediately went to a part store to have the fuses check and i purchased more bulbs and found out that was not the problem. The service department informed me that this was electrical problem not even the new bulbs worked and the fuses were good as well. I purchased this vehicle in october 2014 from drive time of columbus, ga and was not informed of the recall. The carfax associated with this vehicle did not mention any defects as a matter of fact the carfax listed this vehicle as almost perfect.i have contact chrysler regarding this matter and they too let me know this problem was part of the recall but they are not able to correct the problem because they do not have the parts and it is may 2015. Now i am driving a truck that is really not safe. I spoke with the dealership where i purchase the truck without any resolution. They are only concerned with the payments., can something be done? can this dealership be made to give me my money back i have spent on this truck or give me another vehicle which i afraid to trust anyone at this point. Your advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, all the warning lights illuminated. The headlights also failed intermittently. The failure recurred numerous times over the course of a year. The vehicle was taken to dealer where the contact was informed that the battery would need to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. The dealer informed the contact that the failure could not be diagnosed. The manufacturer was notified but offered no assistance. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was 50,000 and the current mileage was 72,000.
While driving the dash lights went out and headlights started flashing on and off.took it to dealer and they found no trouble.the vehicle keeps blowing rear tail light bulbs, and blower motor at times does not work on certain speeds.cigarette lighter/power outlets stopped working even though fuse is good.power windows intermittently stop working. The transmission went out around 62,000 miles.had dealer replace transmission and now at 102,000 miles the transmission will loose drive when shifting into 3rd under moderate acceleration.you then have to pull off the road and put the car in park, then back in drive to regain drive.transmission also "surges" under light throttle conditions at low speeds(10-20mph).i have contacted jeep and their response was that because of the mileage on the vehicle they could do nothing.i feel that the flashing lights and the loss of drive while in traffic are major safety issues.i have been researching this vehicle and found may other owners with the exact same problems.
Vehicle was sold with no lights in back, including break and reverse lights, broken seat belts in back seats and one back seat that does not fold down which blocks rear view, and finally with bald tires that needed to be replaced immediately.the lights were supposedly fixed by the dealership's repair shop but after only a few weeks the lights were not working.the seat belts were supposed to be replaced and we were told that replacements were ordered but the dealership never called back to confirm that they arrived and ready for installation, they still have not been replaced.we were told that the tires and seat folding down were not safety issues and had to replace the tires ourselves.the seat still does not fold down and the lights on the back of the vehicle still don't stay on.
My jeepupon being on the highway and in the right lane suddenly slowed down to the point of stalling and i had to bring the car to the side of the road and began shutting it off when coincidently the the light went on in the roof of the car and my headlight dimmed. I called the jeep place for an oil change and they diagnoised the car and did a recall on the ignition switch and told me the powertrain transfer case is bad and thermostat leaking from the housing and 4 wheel drive failed. I have never used the 4 wheel drive as i recently purchased the car at the end of april and own it for just 7 months. They said it will cost me over $750.00 dollars to be fixed. I called chrysler and they said my vehicle is not included however on your web site nhtsa campain# 13v175000 seems to apply to my diagnoised problems. I love my car but this is a defect in manufacturing and not something that i have done. The previous owner had this car constantly maintained at executive jeep in north haven ct. I want my car fixed at chrysler's cost notmine. I drive my car with my grandchildren in it and now feel it is unsafe.. Please help me. I have all records for the car and the diagnostic information should you need it. I also have howard the manager at jeep phone #.
November 24 evening leaving fuji (children in car)november 30 morning on way to work ? hit mailbox (baby in car)december 5 morning on way to work ? dies turning out of subdivision and stalls in middle of street (baby in car) there was one other instance when i had all kids with me?it was prior to nov 24 but i do not recall the actual dateall of the instances the engine stalled, the lights (when on) went out, i lost the ability to steer and brake as well.the mph ranged from 4 or 5 mph to 35 mph.there were times when it was warm and days that it was cold.nothing seemed to standout as a possible "trigger"i took car to dealer after the november 24th incident.tony in the service department said there was really nothing that they could do unless it was a problem they could "make happen" when they drove it.a few days later i wrecked into a mailbox when my jeep stalled and i lost steering and braking capability....i am lucky it was not head on with a large truck or a tree.
Reference complaints 10244597, 10247128.today, driving in the rain, lights dimmed and car hesitated, eventually stalling while in motion.while we were at a stop, the car again stalled and took several tries to restart.i no longer drive with the children in the car, and havenot since the previous incident at 61k.i have tried contacting jeep through my dealer, with no response.today i sent an email via their website, however, i am not hopeful of any response.this will be the final time i will file a complaint, as i have called the bank and told them to come and get the car.i can only hope that the person who considers purchasing my car, as i am sure another unscrupulous salesman will put the car up for sale, does his or her research and finds the complaints i have filed here and with the pa attorney general's office.
While driving down the road, the entire cluster of instrument warning lights begins to flash intermittently, creating a distraction and safety hazard while driving.in addition, the fuel gauge drops to "e", the speedometer drops to zero and then goes up and down and all gauges go up and down erratically.also, the heated seats turn off as does the fan for the heater/ac unit.verified with local mechanic that this is not related to the ignition switch and is most likely an ecm and/or pcm issue. Replaced battery but problem still exists. Engine malfunction indicator light comes on for several cycles, computer reboots itself and then the trouble starts again shortly after.this appears to be an ongoing issue with the 06 commander but my vin was not included in the ecm/pcm recall (08v203000) because i have the 6-cylinder rather than the 8 cylinder engine. This is a safety hazard while driving and i just feel fortunate that as of yet, my car is not stalling like so many others. However, i feel my issue is related to this same recall and want to have it on file.
The vehicle will suddenly lose power to the headlights, taillights, instrument panel, speedometer, odometer, and the interior some lights will turn themselves on without cause or warning. In the most recent event, vehicular damage and possible personal injury nearly occurred when driving in the dark, almost striking a utility pole. Also, the automatic window control will not function properly when trying to roll up the window itself. It will stop halfway and bring itself back down. It usually takes 3-4 times to roll the window up. This has occurred numerous times, so many that i can't keep track. The local dealership cannot pinpoint the issue and this vehicle is not safe to be on the road.
The instrument cluster reset 3 times and the head lights went out at the same time.it was night time when this occured.the road was smooth with no apparent bumps.
In the 5 years i have owned the 2006 jeep commander it has stalled while driving, stalled while parked.this happens at no set frequency.sometimes it happens daily, other times it will go for months and not happen.the dash lights repeatedly flash off and on.some dash lights don't work at all for months then like magic work fine for months.the vehicle sputters when accelerating all the time and at different speeds.if i am crossing or turining i need to make sure i have like 2 miles between me and oncoming traffic in case it decides to not work that time and i get stuck in the intersection. The cruise control no longer works.luckily the computer went out that controls the cruise so i can't use it.the cruise used to just speed up and slow down on its own.i will be driving along and all of a sudden without notice the car will floor itself and not stop until i put the car in neutral.regardless of what temperature i have the heater set to there is constantly extremely hot air blowing on my feet.i can not drive without shoes on or the hot air literally burns my feet.overall- there are some serious electrical and mechanical issues with the jeep commander.i googled jeep commander and there are hundreds (i am sure thousands) of similar complaints.
All lights on the dash flip off and on in succession and the odometer and tachometer drop to 0 while maintaining speed.highbeams and headlights also seem to be effected. Happened first on december 31 and has continued happening since this time at random times.
All the light on my dash board have been flickering on and off for the past two months. It does not seem to affect my engine however it will completely take all gauges to zero while i am driving. I drove it last night and when it happened it killed my all my lights. I can hear a clicking sound when the flickering happens. It doesn't click continuously but enough to make me very uneasy.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. The contact stated that while at a complete stop, the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis. The technician stated that the wiring in the starter would have to bereplaced. Additionally, the exterior lighting intermittently failed and the front driver side window intermittently failed while being opened or closed. The vehicle was not repaired. The vin was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000.
While driving this vehicle through a stone tunnel on the blue ridge parkway that had no lighting within the tunnel the jeep suffered an total electrical failure and a total blackout took place. Thankful that i was not killed and that no one else was in the tunnel at the time, the jeep was coasted to the outside of the tunnel and off to the side on the grass. Had anyone been coming in either direction i may have had enough light but it was pitch black. I have read of hundreds of electrical failures in this jeep vehicle and wonder why i was never notified. This is a product warranty issue for jeep and it nearly was also responsible for vehicular homicide! the jeep just cut off all electric and not even dashboard lights afforded visual. I have the park rangers report and she said this most likely was total electrical failure. I have pictures from the accident as the jeep hit the stone tunnel side and then the steering rod on the right broke. The insurance company chose to junk the jeep and i was left without even a rental car. I have pictures and the rangers report and my report if requested. How do i contact jeep for a product liability complaint?
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, several warning lights became illuminated. Additionally, the headlights became dim, the radio volume independently lowered, speedometer and tachometer fluctuated. The vehicle was taken to bald hill dodge chrysler jeep ram located at 1035 bald hill rd, warwick, ri 02886, (844) 847-4671) however, the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The contact stated that several years ago, the alternator was replaced however, the replacement of the alternator failed to eliminate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 126,000.
I own a 2006 jeep commander ltd. With the 5.7l hemi. Date of manufacturer was 06/06. In the past year my commander has began stalling out sporadically while stopped completely. It occurs at any time, night or day, usually only when the engine is cold or cool. The problem occurs when i come to a complete stop at a stop sign, stop light, or any other complete stop in drive or reverse. When i come to a complete stop the rpm's drop and the vehicle stalls out. No warning lights or check engine lights show up on the dash. When it occurs at night all the external vehicle lights turn off, thus making me and my vehicle vulnerable to other traffic. It does not trip a code in the computer so the dealer cannot diagnose the problem. The first time i took my vehicle in for maintenance regarding the problem the dealer recommended i replace the egr valve so i did what they recommended. The problem still occurs. The dealer advised me that they cannot duplicate the problem therefore there is nothing they can do to correct the problem. When my vehicle stalls out it typically will do it 3-5 additional times per trip and it happens at least once per week. I have read that numerous people are having the same problems and jeep has no fix.i am very concerned with this problem because it is unsafe as i was nearly struck by another vehicle. Recently i was traveling down the street at night and was preparing to turn left at a stop light. I stopped in the middle of the intersection to wait for the oncoming traffic to pass, when my car stalled out and all of the lights turned off (headlights, running lights, etc) making my vehicle completely invisible to traffic. I was unable to move the vehicle until i placed it in neutral and had to restart the engine and move out of the intersection. Please look further into this problem with 2006 jeep commanders as this is not something that should happen.
I purchased the 2006 commander in june 2010. The first 6 weeks i had the vehicle i loved it. The first incident i had with the vehicle was the service park assist warning came on and stayed on for two days, then went off on its own prior to getting an appointment to have it checked. The next incident happened when i was idling in traffic ata stoplight. Every indicator light on the dash came on and the vehicle started to stall but did not completely stall out. Since that episode i have had issues with the driver side front window and passenger side rear window not functioning properly (at times won't roll up or down from either control). More recently i have had increasing episodes (two to three times per month) of the dash lighting up, headlights dimming and the vehicle losing power (so far always while parked or shifting from park to drive), as well as the service park assist warning and window issues. After hearing of a coworker with a 2007 commander having some of the same issues i began searching the internet and have found numerous complaints of the same issues as mine. I am afraid to drive this vehicle with my children inside in the event that it would stall out on the highway and i would not be able to control it. I spoke with the dealer that sold me the vehicle yesterday and they have agreed to look at it free of charge this morning since there is no warranty on it now, but i still am not sure i want to keep this vehicle any longer. Chrysler needs to recall these vehicles and fix this issue. I used to be a die hard jeep fan...but no longer! i am surprised that i have not found any reports of death or serious injury as a result of these electrical issues with this particular model.
Driving at night the headlights would flash on an off
I have had my 2006 jeep commander for a year and in that time period i have had a consistent problem. When i am driving the vehicle i will randomly lose power to the instrument panel,windows , windshield wipers and almost everything electrical. The engine will continue to run but if it happens at night i lose interior lights dash lights i can't see how fast i am going due to the panel not working. I have had it to the mechanic and he insists it has something to do with the ignition switch. I know a recall has been issued for a separate ignition problem but after reading online and seeing many other reports just like mine i,believe there is another issue to be handled. This problem is also making it impossible to get the vehicle inspected because when it acts up it cause the check engine light to come on and has to be reset. Then before all sensors have reset it occurs again. I have spent a small fortune is gas trying to get lucky to be able to pass inspection.
During regular drive of the car, i experienced major electrical shut down. It does not happen very often. I noticed that is happening in summer time more often than in winter time. I noticed it for a first time 2 years ago and reported to local service dealer. They told me to keep an eye on it and to tell them if i notice any trend. Except for summer/winter, i couldn't notice any other trend. Last summer it was happening quite often and after bringing it to the service, they couldn't find cause of the problem. I think they performed some recall firmware update (08v-203 i think) but i still have same electrical problem. I don't have engine stall however. Last night (july 3rd 2009) it happen to me for the first time during night and i just realized how serious safety issue it actually is. While driving home with my family, everything in the car (headlights, ac , stereo (except lcd display) all lights on the dashboard (except p r n d gear indication)) went off for a few seconds and came back on. It happened 15-20 times in 30 minutes time frame. At one point after ~10th interruption, check engine light came on (error code u1411).so, all lights disappeared while driving at night putting me and my family at risk of an serious accident. I don't have confidence in this car any more unless there is a permanent fix for this problem.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. While operating the vehicle, the light switch malfunctioned and caused the headlights to intermittently shut off. The driver had to hold the light switch to allow the light to remain illuminated. When touching the ignition key, the driver would receive an electrical shock while operating the vehicle. The cause of the failure was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 80,000.
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.
Dash lights and gauges began flickering and on / off.eventually over a period of months, all vehicle lights began occasional going on and off completely. This included head lights, tail lights, dash lights. Began doing this more and more often. Do a lot of mechanical work myself. Saw that this was a fairly common problem with jeeps as reported on the internet. Cause was a faulty light control switch on the steering column. Bought a new control arm/switch for about $130. And installed it myself. Problem appears to be repaired now. Should be a safety recall for these switches in losing all inside and outside lights while driving at night. Have checked around and do not see any recall as of yet for this problem.
When driving car at night the dash lighting and the head lights went dark for 5 minutes and came back on, driver had to pull over and almost caused an accident due to no lighting. This has happened 3 times in the past 3 weeks very concerning. Headlights and dash lightingshould not go bad before the power train on any car built ever.thank god the person driving was calm enough to handle the distraction.
2006 jeep commander 4x4 trail rated.
As i was driving down the road my automobile turned off and stopped working while driving! this is very dangerous and is very ridiculous considering i received a recall notice over 1 year ago concerning this problem. I make every attempt to ensure the functions of my vehicle are running properly for the safety of my family.i have young children and they could have been seriously injured had we been involved in an accident at the time of my vehicle's failure to operate correctly, due to the manufacturers irresponsibility of taking care of this problem within a proper time frame! jeep and local dealers have been contacted multiple times to try to correct this problem, with no help from them it has yet to be repaired!
I purchased the vehicle in 2010 and within a month some electrical issues were intermittently occurring. The dealer said the ignition had to be replaced and did so. These problems seemed to continue thought not often. The symptoms are as follows-first the lights start flickering and then go out. All of the dash components go out including the speedometer, fuel gage, radio etc. The ac fan also turned off. This condition did not stop the vehicle from running it just turned off the electrical componentsthere was however a problem with stalling, a separate issue from the electrical issue., a few times while in the vehicle was stopped it would stall when stopping or starting off again. This was true in reverse and forward. I was never really worried about safety until last night when the lights went out while driving on a dark curvy country road. It was only for a few seconds but it was terrifying. This issue needs to be dealt with.in 2015 there were several recalls issued and they seemed to be related to the problems i was having. I had all of the recall notices dealt with. The software upgrades and the ignition replacement. This didn't solve the problem. In fact it
I cannot "safely" drive my vehicle as the car goes into neutral on it's own? there have been many a times that i have been on the highway traveling 55 mph or more and all of a sudden, the car would slightly jerk and then loose complete power. I would step on the accelerator but no change, i would simply pull off to the side of the highway. Wait a few minutes and eventually the car would start up again? the headlights and interior lights go off and on? the face plate to the radio system gets hot? and has affected the illumination of the dashboard instrumental lighting? this is not a vin thing but a jeep commander thing? such an attractive vehicle with so many many issues? safety issues. And the company has yet to fulfill the recalls? its been more than a year? dealers keep telling the consumers, the part isn't available yet? i need to be able to drive to work, this has cost me additional money to buy a reliable vehicle to get me to work.i paid over $35,000 for it, and meanwhile it sits in the garage. A lot of money for your average joe to fork out. Who's going to force the manufacturer to honor the recall?
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.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. When the vehicle was started, the headlights and the tail lights became inoperable without warning. In addition, the instrument panel failed to operate. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the vehicle was operating as designed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 160,000.
While driving along a secondary road at night, the head lights and dashboard lights went off suddenly with out warning flickering on and off several times before coming back on.this has repeated it self several times.
My 2006 commander stopped accelerating in fact it felt like i was driving against a wind blowing headon faster then i was driving ,then the jeep started jumping like a hick-up then my tail lights stopped working and lower dash lights went out and my warning lights in dash came on,the vehicle stalls out at idle or at start of acceleration not very good took to dealer was told i need a new front control module and new cooling fan ,nwe speed relay costing$1063.00 im not to sure about it and they tell me that it has no recall ??
I currently own a 2006 jeep commander and for about two weeks now i have being having serious problems with my exterior and interior lights flashing on and off i have taken it to the dealership and they keep saying that they do not know what is wrong with it, they cannot find know faults or defects. The lights has being going off while driving at night on the express way with my baby in the vehicle can someone please help me with this issue i fear for my life and the life of my child. I cannot understand how the jeep dealership cannot recognize the problem of one of their vehicles. I are completely lost and confuse.
Takata recallas i was driving my car on the four lane my car started to have white rubber smelling smoke fill the car and all my dash lights went crazy, my radio kicked off and my speakers and my turn signals quit working. I started to panic and stopped on the side of the rode. I had my kids in the car so i first removed my children then tried to find the problem. At this point my car was completely full of smoke n it like as if it was burning down.my wiring in the cars passenger side rear floor board had caught on fire ! the fire burnt through my floor and my floor mats. I almost choked to death on the smoke and had to take the battery out of the car to kill the power and dump water on the floor.
Takata recall my jeep commander has been nothing but trouble since i purchased it i have had all the recalls done by my local jeep dealership and still have to constantly replace wheel speed (abs) sensors and reprogram the computer. At low speeds off aproxamitly 15-20 mph i loose power like the vehicle is trying to starve itself from fuel affecting accelerate so if you pull out into a intersection it practically dies and the. When you go to brake the pedal gets hard and the vehicle keeps rolling i have to replace all 4 wheel sensor (abs) and get computer reprogrammed for it to stop costing hundreds of dollars to do over the time that i have owned the vehicle i have learned to perform such task on my own . But i am sick and tired of every summer having to buy 4 50 dollar sensors and getting charged 125 dollars to redo the computer and not to mention when the jeep decides to act up it put my child and mother to my child in serious danger never knowing when it will misfunction again and like many others i am upside down on the payments of the vehicle due to all the money invested.
There is a serious electrical problem with the suv which started within. The dealers looked at it, i paid for computer diagnostics and still nothing. Besides all the lights flashing on and off, the speedometer fluctuating, actually all the instruments going on and off while i am driving; also, the temperature control panel does not light up when the headlights are on. I have never had an automobile with all these electrical problems that no one can fix. Please recall this vehicle before someone dies. I try not to drive long distances alone because of this problem.
The interior electrical lighting systems often goes out while driving in below freezing temperatures. This includes all speedometer, tachometer, and dash lights for all controls. This has been a problem since i purchased the vehicle new in february 2007. After five years, the led lights illuminating the switches for the fan speed, temperature control, and heated seats. I reported this under warranty but now i am told i am responsible for repair. The dealership cannot find the electrical fault. The led switch bulbs cannot simply be replaced as the entire unit for each control must be replaced.the engine was making a pinging sound and the dealership diagnosed it wrong 3 times.this should have been repaired under warranty when first reported. Many months later after warranty lapsed the dealership's corrective fix was replacing one side of the engine's hydraulic lifters.this made the problem a bit better but did not resolve it.
Electrical dash board blinks while driving, driver's seat moves while driving, when it rains the driver's floor is soaked with water and passenger side floor is wet as well, vehicle jerks while driving. Indication lights pops on dashboard sporadically, radio and navigation doesn't work.
The headlights begin to flash on and off intermittently. The lights within the instrument control panel are not illuminated and flash as well. I have to manually turn the lights off then turn them back on numerous times to get the flashing to stop. It is a very scary, dangerous, and embarrassing problem when it happens. This has been an ongoing issue for a few years now. The dealer was not notified. There are no recalls or warranties related to the failure.
The engine stallsand the head lights fail while my son is driving the car. We have gotten several recall notices. The latest tells us the parts are in and go to the local dealer. No. They don't have the part. We are frustrated and demand we get the ignition switch and lock cylinder replaced. Do your part dodger chrystal jeep.
While driving - usually at night and at all speeds my headlights will flicker like a strobe light and then go off completely, including the interior lights as well indicating my speed, etc..sometimes i can use my high beams to at least be able to see, however, even sometimes this does not work.very, very dangerous to not be able to see or be seen at night in random places on the freeway, in the city, etc....please someone help - dealer states that they have no clue as to what the problem might be!!another problem, i have been dealing with, is the air conditioner in the vehicle will stop and not blow any air.i took it to the dealership and they stated that they did not have the part to fix my car.on top of that they gave me a piece of my car that apparently fell off, while they were inspecting it??!!?? they told me it was not their fault and that it is a faulty piece called the housing which is part of the inlet housing and that it would cost $1,156.38 to fix.unbelievable!
Interior and exterior lights will intermittently go off and on at the same time. On a freeway at 65mph this is not acceptable.
Headlights and interior lights shut off while driving at night at highway speed, but the radio remained on and the engine was also working. All the lights on the instrument panel flipped on and then off with the exception of the base esp and the traction control lights, they stayed on. Power steering and power brakes were working and if it had not been dark out, could have drove home. The vehicle did come back to normal working order within a few seconds. This record of events happened 3 times within a few minutes at 10 pm and was very scary.i brought the vehicle to the jeep dealership and they replaced the power junction block. They said there were multiple codes they found in the system but the fault that leaped out to them was u0200.

I purchased a 2006 jeep commander last year.i have had the following items replaced on my jeep front passenger interior door panel.strange noise coming from my car that sounded like playing cards in bike tires ended with replacing front axel ring and pinion.car kept popping out of gear the entire gear shift was replaced. My passenger window had to be fixed it kept sticking halfway up. I had a problem where my car kept stalling.i was told the first time that no error appears on the computer and jeep knew of no issue with cars stalling so maybe it was bad gas.it died several more times and finally they did replace a part inside the idol.i also had an issue where my headlights kept turning off as i drove or would flash on and off.they replaced the headlight switch. I have had the rubber stripping from my back driver side window come off and now it is occurring on the passenger side. From the beginning i have told them i do not feel my transmission is working properly that it shifts hard and when i shift from reverse to drive there is a big hesitation.i have been told no error is appearing on computer and that jeep as usual has no known issues so they had no suggestions.once again they thought it was a gas issue moving from winter to summer blend.the last time i had it in when it was stalling i told them it the transmission was still hesitating and would make a pop noise at times then it would go.it is still occurring and at times the car acts like it might not shift into drive.i am satisfied with how my dealership is working with me they are doing their best to help me.i blame jeep/chrysler all you have to do is search the web to see that there are so many others just like me with the exact same issue.they need to recall these cars now and if they can not find the problem then replace them for us.

The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer but the failure could not be diagnosed. The contact also stated that the vehicle would experience a hard shift and hesitation when she tried to accelerate. Updated 5/9/11 the consumer stated when she attempted to start the vehicle, the ignition key would not start the vehicle, it would take several more times to try and get the vehicle started. Also, when acceleration, the vehicle would hesitate and then stall.

Turn signals have 4 modesright turn or left turn - moving switch "fully-up" or "fully-down" locks it into a "right" or "left" mode until cancelledright lane change or left lane change - moving the switch "partially-up" or"partially-down" against a detent signals a lane change to the "right" or "left" that is immediately cancelled upon releaseconditions exist where the left lane change mode does not activate. This was reported and the conditions to duplicate the situation were demonstrated.the dealer agreed that the switch should not behave in the manner demonstrated and attempted to repair the issue by replacing the switch.on delivery, the turn signal still malfunctioned under the same conditions. The vehicle was again taken to the same dealer a second time. The dealer researched the issue by recreating the conditions on other vehicles on the lot and determined that the condition is intrinsic to the design of the switch and relates a design fault in the switch and not a bad part.one generally activates the signal with ones hands still on the steering wheel. Therefore, pushing down to activate the left lane change mode, as applied with the index or middle finger, creates both a "downward" and "forward" force on the stalk due to the angle of application. When applied, that is a "downward" force to activate the left lane change signal mode along with a "forward" force as one would expect based on the angle of application, the left lane change signal mode fails the operate because the contact in the turn signal switch lifts off its mating contact and opens the circuit. I have gone through the motions to activate the left lane change signal mode, thinking that it had activated, only to find that the signal did not operate as it should have.this poses a safety hazard as other motorists are not alerted to my intentions and may not compensate for my intended lane change and also subjects me to a violation of my state vehicle code.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. While drivingapproximately 30 mph the vehicle would hesitate when accelerating. The failure would occur intermittently.

On christmas i backed the jeep out of the driveway so i could drive my truck. Bumped the curb slightly while parking and vehicle died. Started right back up so i didn't think much of it. Today my wife took the kids to school in it and ran fine. Parked for two hours and went to start and it will crank but not turn over. Fuel gauge doesn't read correctly. At full it says half a tank and while you are driving it may drop to below empty with a full tank. I have been reading all the reports about the 2006 commander and a lot of people seem to be having this starting problem. I haul my family around in it because we can't all fit in my truck but i don't feel safe in it because you never know when it's gonna cut out and die. My kids range from 1 week to 11 and i don't really want them in it. I'm thinking it a fuel pump or wiring issue. Both issues occurred in my driveway or right in front of my house.
2006 jeep commander hesitates when making a turn. The problem is intermittent, but happens at least once a day. It has been taken in for service for this problem. A couple of times but the dealers say they can not replicate the problem. This is a serious issue and i have come close to being hit while pulling out on the highway numerous times.
2006 jeep commander 4.7l v8 stalls when coming to a stop. Multiple instances (over 12) between the first occurrence approximately mid december 2013 and today 11 january 2014. All stalls happened when coming to a stop except for one instance when it stalled while in reverse. A drop in rmps and lighting/instrument failure accompanies the stall. Chrysler's recall n32 was completed october 2013. Vehicle has been owned since early 2011 with no stalling of this type having occurred prior to this. No instrument panel indication (e.g. Check engine light) accompanies the stall. Vehicle restarted on all occasions after shifting to park or neutral.
When making hard turns my 2006 jeep commander will occasionally try to stall. Pressing the gas pedal down slowly, the engine acts like it is trying to stall, and speed does not increase. My example & definition of a hard turn: you're a car or two from a red light. Light turns green, you accelerate 20 feet or so and make a 90 degree turn. Happens on average at least once a month. Dealer says they "are aware of problems, but have no fix from jeep". Have heard this for a year.
Vehicle stalling.
I was exiting i65 s to i85 north at 40 mph as i came out of the ramp the engine stalled.the ignition switch and all of the lights and gauges continued to read accurately.i coasted to the shoulder and restarted the vehicle.it immediately started ,and ran normally.this could have been a bad situation if there had been heavy traffic at the time. The jeep was due for its first service trip, so it went to the dealer on may 9, 2007.the incident was reported to the dealer ,who reported that the vehicle stalled as it went into the shop.the technician statedthat he felt he had struck the key while moving the vehicle and this caused the stalling.this could be true.however, i am only 5' 3" tall and even if i had the seat all of the way forward with the front of the seat adjusted all of the way up, itwas virtually impossible for theknee to hit the key. These two incidentswere the only ones that i have experienced, but i felt there was a systemic problem.

Recall notice from chrysler.took commander into shop for repair.after 4 hours, technician stated that unable to download program from corporate computer to fix.need to bring car back later. This is the second time for a recall, and our car has been in there a total of 4 times for safety issues such as broken seat belts.it has been there a number of other visits, starting at 2555 miles, for defective windshield mount, defective gas fill line mount, and defective windshield wiper fluid pump.previous hazards were handled, but resulted in a good number of days of at least 6 hour services.now, after 4 hours, this service is not completed and i have to bring the car back again.
When almost stopped the engine revved up like the vehicle was power braking..it happened twice on jan 15, 2015 and again on jan16, 2015...it threw us forward and thankfully we had enough distance between us and the vehicle stopped at the red light in front of us that we did not hit it....i consider this a safety hazard.it makes me leery to drive when it is acting like this...we did not have any previous problems with the jeep before this date.i reported this to chrysler and they told me there was nothing they could do about it..i would need to take it to a dealer and have it checked out at my expense.we have not driven the vehicle since jan. 16th.

The manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 97,000.
The problem started in january 2019. The vehicle started having idling issues, cold start in morning idlesaround 900, when put in reverse it dips to around 500 and wobbles back and forth while backing up, put in drive and it would be ok but would stall sometimes at stop sign- check engine light never came on. I had throttle body cleaned and fuel system service done and the engine light came on same day. Took it to the dealer for recalls and they replaced throttle body also. It drove ok for a day and i have the unstable idle back and the rpm jumps up while in drive but stopped at a light. About a week ago i am slowing down to stop at a light ahead and it starts vibrating like it is going to stall and the etc and tcs light came on and i shut it off and it cranked right back up and drove it the rest of the day with no issue. Etc light will come on while driving and cause no issues other than the unstable idle. Today-5-10-19, coming home and start to turn left and etc and tcs light come on and it seems like it is in limp mode because there is a loss of power and etc light is now blinking, so i pull in a parking lot, cut it off for five minutes and it cranks right back up with no lights on and i am able to drive 5 miles home.
Unknown reason for lost of motor oil, no observed source of a leak.
Car stalls out when driving or taking turns. Also stalls out when car is warming up and nobody is in the car several times. I can feel when i'm driving it also restats it self when i step on the gas pedal.
The transfer case motor/actuator will not shift after dealer performed n23 recall on the final drive controller.
May 29th, 1026, while driving along i-80 in north platte, nebraska the jeep suddenly, without warning accelerated on me causing an accident. I could not get the jeep under control, ran off the road and into a highway sign before getting control. One witness even stated that it looked as if the jeep "just took off". Been having issues with irregular rmps and now this. Why the sudden acceleration with loss of control?
I went to start my 2006 jeep commander and it would turn over, but it would not start. I finally worked with it a little bit and got it to start, but then my power steering went out. I cut it off and tried it again and everything went back to normal. However, when i got going, there was a horrible gas smell coming from the rear of the vehicle. This starting issue has happened multiple times and every time the power steering goes out. The vehicle was stationary at a public place after it had been running for about 30 minutes.
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.

Reference complaints 10244597, 10247128.today, driving in the rain, lights dimmed and car hesitated, eventually stalling while in motion.while we were at a stop, the car again stalled and took several tries to restart.i no longer drive with the children in the car, and havenot since the previous incident at 61k.i have tried contacting jeep through my dealer, with no response.today i sent an email via their website, however, i am not hopeful of any response.this will be the final time i will file a complaint, as i have called the bank and told them to come and get the car.i can only hope that the person who considers purchasing my car, as i am sure another unscrupulous salesman will put the car up for sale, does his or her research and finds the complaints i have filed here and with the pa attorney general's office.
I currently own a 2006 jeep commander and for about two weeks now i have being having serious problems with my exterior and interior lights flashing on and off i have taken it to the dealership and they keep saying that they do not know what is wrong with it, they cannot find know faults or defects. The lights has being going off while driving at night on the express way with my baby in the vehicle can someone please help me with this issue i fear for my life and the life of my child. I cannot understand how the jeep dealership cannot recognize the problem of one of their vehicles. I are completely lost and confuse.
During regular drive of the car, i experienced major electrical shut down. It does not happen very often. I noticed that is happening in summer time more often than in winter time. I noticed it for a first time 2 years ago and reported to local service dealer. They told me to keep an eye on it and to tell them if i notice any trend. Except for summer/winter, i couldn't notice any other trend. Last summer it was happening quite often and after bringing it to the service, they couldn't find cause of the problem. I think they performed some recall firmware update (08v-203 i think) but i still have same electrical problem. I don't have engine stall however. Last night (july 3rd 2009) it happen to me for the first time during night and i just realized how serious safety issue it actually is. While driving home with my family, everything in the car (headlights, ac , stereo (except lcd display) all lights on the dashboard (except p r n d gear indication)) went off for a few seconds and came back on. It happened 15-20 times in 30 minutes time frame. At one point after ~10th interruption, check engine light came on (error code u1411).so, all lights disappeared while driving at night putting me and my family at risk of an serious accident. I don't have confidence in this car any more unless there is a permanent fix for this problem.

Windshield easily cracks. Door handles is wobbly and then cracks and falls out of panel.
1. Normal use of the vehicle.2. The inner door handles break and you cant exit the vehicle.3. The only current solution is to replace the entire oem door panel for every door. The door handle is plastic and is molded into the door panel so there is no easy way to repair it without replacing the whole panel at a very large expense.unfortunately the replacement door panels are the same design so it is only a matter of time before they fail also.my fear is that in a time of crisis one or all of the doors could fail to open.below was sent to chrysler.comthere is a major design flaw with the inner door handles on the jeep commander.the housing is entirely made of plastic and is very brittle.after a few years of use the plastic starts to crack then break away and the inner handle will not function.in order to replace the handle you are forced to replace the entire inner door panel.part 5js891d1ag for the drivers door.as you can imagine purchasing theentire oem panel for each door is ungodly expensive but necessary if you and your family actually want to exit the vehicle without having to go "dukes of hazard" and climb out.the replacement panels are in no way improved from the original design so it is only a matter of time that they will break as well in the same manner.i am very concerned for my family that they will not open the door in a time of need.i am a member of several online forums and this is a known issue with several commander owners.from what i have found the jeep liberty has the exact same issue....poor design.
My son tried to open the passenger door and found it would not open due to a broken panel around the door latch handle. I also find that other door latches are experiencing the same problem and find that a person could become trapped in the vehicle. The drivers door latch is about to fail also at this time. I have not replaced the parts as yet and find that this is an ongoing problem with these vehicles.
On the 2006 jeep commander the area behind the door handles very easily breaks causing the handle to go up in to the door preventing it from opening. In the event of an emergency with the need to get out of the car fast you would not be able to exit. The only fix is replacing the entire door panel with is over $500. But the problem would not be fixed since it would just be putting the exact door panel back on. 3 of my door panels are either broken or cracked. I've found website where lots of people with this same year model have the exact same problem. My jeep has not been mistreated. The plastic behind the handle broke in to many pieces when i just went to open the door.
My wife exited the car on the front passenger side on august 22 and noticed the door handle had shattered.she wasn't rough and didn't abuse it in any way.that door may be opened 2-3 times a week.it's a 2006 jeep commander with 70000 miles.now the door has to be extremely gently opened in fear that it may break.chrysler has acknowledged that it is an inferior design but still wants to charge anywhere from 600-900$ to repair it with the same weak design.i have a 3 year old son, and fear that in an emergency situation the other handles may fail leaving him and anyone else trapped inside.i feel chrysler has no choice but to replace the door panels with a better design.this is a major safety issue that involves thousands of people.
We own a 2006 jeep commander and have failing interior door handles that are preventing our family from exiting and entering the vehicle on demand. For safety reasons this problem could lead to the death of anyone riding in the vehicle and is involved in an accident, stalled vehicle or other event. Because of the faulty design the entire panel has to be replaced and is quite costly($500 + each). I do not feel this burden should be placed on jeep owners simply because of the bad design. I would suggest a recall of these door panels before a law suit is brought against the people or design and manufacture of these panels. I do have an extended warranty to 100,000 miles and paid to have the highest plan i can have and these still are not covered. I implore you to please search the internet see all the loyal jeep owners and recall these panels before jeep is no longer a trusted name.

2006 jeep commander.....door handles and door handle rosette have failed on the drivers door and the rear passengers door.the materials used for this door handle assembly have failed due to normal wear and tear. The plastic appears to be very very thin. This now poses a serious safety issue with exiting the driver side front door and the passenger side rear door. About 6 months after i bought the jeepon the front drivers side door...a small hole (1/4") appeared in the center of the plastic door handle rosette.i was told by the dealership that this was due to abuse. Now after three years i see that many many people have had the exact same problem.oh by the way my 5 year old granddaughter used the rear passenger door one day, after which we first noticed the broken door handle and handle rosette there. I have duct tape covering the hole and holding the door handle in a position that makes the door operable.this is a safety hazard that chrysler jeep needs to address.final insult.the dealer that i bought the jeep commander from was closed by chrysler.
Physical deterioration and detachment of the inner door handle mechanisms on 2006 jeep commander. Through normal wear, the rear driver side inner door handle physically failed fully.

It appears that this will shortly lead to the full failure of the door handle from the inside of the vehicle making exit from the vehicle infeasible without access to the outer door handle.
I own a 2006 jeep commander.in less than one year all four of my vehicle doors have cracked and broken beyond recognition.pieces have fallen from the doors, and the lever mechanisms work only half the time.most of the time the doors have to be opened from the outside, by another passenger.i feel that this is a saftey issue.each time that we attempt to exit the vehicle, it is very difficult to open the doors.if we should have an emergency, we will not be able to exit the vehicle.i have taken the car in for recall information, but i have never received a recall.each time that i have talked to a dealer, they have stated that no recalls are on file.

I have a 2006 jeep commander 4x4 and all the interior door handles are broken. This is dangerous because i have three kids that sit in the backseats and when it is time to exit the vehicle they cant get the doors to open. I have to work with my door handle to get it to open and then go to their door to open it. This is extremely dangerous because on all but one door u can only exit out when someone opens the doors from the outside.
My 2006 jeep commander continually stalls, threatening the lives of whoever is in the car. There is no warning. Suddenly there will be a complete loss of control over the vehicle. No warning lights, no bells, sounds, whistles...nothing! the only way to remedy is to turn vehicle off and restart. This turns in to a life threatening incident when the traffic behind you is unaware that you are in fact stalled. The dealership has no updates or complaints of this problem (ya, right) and drives it around the block...with no incidences occurring. If they think it's going to happen while they're driving the vehicle, they're wrong. I 'm risking my families lives every time we get in the car. It's the most expensive piece of junk i've ever owned! visibility out the rear window when the 3rd row seats are up is just about zero. This is extremely dangerous. You can't see cars, kids, or your neighbors house when you're trying to see what's behind you. Driver's side locks on it's own. Luckily the passenger doors remain unlocked, so i haven't locked myself out...yet.

On my 2006 jeep commander, 3 out of the 4 interior door handles are broken.the plastic on the doors first began to crack, producing holes in the handle cut-out.now the interior handles move up and down, and if not situated properly, prevent you from entering or exiting the vehicle.obviously, this is a safety concern for every passenger in the car.after doing online research, it appears that this is a pervasive problem.the dealership informed me that the whole door panel needs replacing at an approximate cost of $500 per panel and is not covered under my extended warranty.they suggested i look online for replacements and they would happily install them.
2006 jeep commander 3 out of 4 interior door handles broken due to poor design in my opinion. Was told by the dealer it was caused by abuse or normal wear and tear. Both rear doors and the drivers door are broken the rear doors are hardly ever used so it isn't from wear and tear or abuse. Im afraid if in a collision i would not be able to open the doors from the inside if i had to get out in a hurry.from looking at forums on the web im finding out it is a wide spread problem. In order to correct the problem each door panel must be replaced.chrysler has not redesigned the handles so in a couple of years they will have the same problem.
Interior door panels(both front doors) at door handles the plastic around handles has cracked and fallen out making the door handle sometimes unstable to open the door.

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=656as 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.

I have experienced on 3 separate occasions including today while driving my vehicle looses power sounds as if my transmission is not shifting or the gear shift will not shift . After i cut the off for a few minutes then i can shift my vehicle from park to drive without a loud screeching sound. Today, i had to use my emergency brakes just to keep my vehicle still after i put it in park. Seems as though the vehicle shifts into another gear and gets stuck until i cut my vehicle off. I believe it may be the transmission control module or transfer case issue. I know there was a recall on this vehicle for the tcm but i didn't have it done. I need help, this is getting to scary, constantly paying for a vehicle and call the manufacturer and nobody wants to do anything.

I have just purchased this used 2006 jeep commander 1 week ago. The vehicle is in great condition, no previous accidents, no engine lights/error codes. On the 2nd day of owning the jeep i experienced my first stall, and since then 4 more stalls. There is no engine lights, error codes, etc. The vehicle seems to be 100% okay, however the vehicle has just shut off 4 times losing brakes, steering, lights, etc - whether i am moving or at a stop. At first i thought "i must have bought a lemon" but i have been reading through several forums and blogs that there are 100's if not 1,000's of people who are experiencing the same issue with their 5.7l hemi commander, and some of the blogs date back to 2006 when these vehicles were brand new with less than a thousand miles on them. One person actually suffered an accident due to this electrical issue - losing control of steering and brakes. Because their is no engine codes or lights dealerships are not assessing the issue at all or are just throwing parts at it hoping it is fixed and charging the customer a boat load of money. Several people have identified that the issue potentially resides in the pcm and the ignition coils, some say that the coils put of an em interference that is disrupting the pcm. Regardless - chrysler needs to get this fixed so no one else gets hurt, or killed.

The message will not stay on longer than a few minutes, then will turn off. A ton of research has been done and no one has the answer yet. The only thing i came across was to replace the pcm/ecm, someone stated there was a glitch with the computer. Many people have this recurring problem and it can't be fixed yet.

When i purchased the vehicle the car i had problems with the car it would slow all the way down on the freeway.they would always tell me it was nothing. The last time i took it to them they said it was the gear, only because i purchased a warranty. When i go up a hill or turn my car still slows down. I've been paying for a car that has never operated correctly and i can not afford to just get another one it cheaper to just pay the note.

Car dash lights radio and headlights went on and off 5 times in a 1 mile drive. Car also shifted into neutral on its own. Called jeep. They said that even though these things are on the recall list my car is not eligible due to my vin number. And if i want these things fixed i would have to pay.
It would take me 10-15 mins to start. When your driving itwould jerk then on the 4-25-15 at 9 pm i was driving home with my two month old grandson going up the hill i was pushing on the gas it would not movei hate to think if i was on a highway would i be alive today if it stopped on a hill like i said it could have anywhere .
While driving the service rear park assist message came on and the check engine light came on.when this happens all the lights around the transmission letters on the dashboard start to flash and the transmission starts to slip.this happens when you accelerate. Have had vehicle at the dealership for 3 weeks now and have had no solution to the problem . Am very concerned about transmission slipping when pulling into traffic.
I have a 2006 jeep commander that i bought 2 months ago. It has been one problem after another. First of all the first day it rained the whole entire cab was soaked, come to find out that there is a problem with the sunroof drainage of these jeeps. The drain lines don't stay connected to the floor and when that occurs the carpet get drenched. I had to pull all of the carpet out of the jeep because of mold concerns. Secondly shortly thereafter the check engine light came on the first time i drove the jeep. Took it too a mechanic and the code showed a crank sensor and a cam sensor. Got both of those replaced and it required a driveshaft repair kit. Another day later the check engine light went off again. The truck started to shake and shimmy so we had to pull over on the side of a highway because it wasn't safe. Took it into another mechanic that was closer to where i was having the issues and they put another set of crank and cam sensors in again. Supposingly i was good to go but just 2 days later the check engine light came back on.went back to another mechanic that was close in proximity to where i was having trouble in which the truck started to shake and shimmy again. This mechanic found a short to the ground in altanater unit which required a new altanater because the other one wasn't pulling enough voltage. Today (sept 5th)went to start the truck and it stalled again and when i restarted it the check engine light was back on. I have spent well over $2000 on this situation and it still isn't fixed. I have read a lot of other customer complaints about this model as well as others who are having the same problem. There should be a recall on this from chrysler to fix whatever issues these cars are having. They have been getting away with this crap way too long now. Going down the freeway 70 plus miles an hour and all of a sudden the check engine light comes on.
My vehicle is a 2006 jeep commander that i have had numerous issues with even though it only has about 78,000 miles. I was driving down a residential street when it stalled and after i cut off the engine to restart it the vehicle would not turn over. I had it towed to a repair shop and was told it was the control relay module that was not communicating effectively. I have had the transmission replaced, all the recalls done, and many other things. This is so unsafe and ridiculous. Its nearly $1,000 to have this part replaced, but because it is such a common issue it is on back order. Chrysler should take responsibility for the defective items they produce and sell to customers who bear the brunt of having a barely drivable, money pit.
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.

The following happened only after recall. Research seems to indicate it is directly relatedto recall. Brief display of "service 4 wheel drive" after recall n23/nhtsa 13v-175. It went out then on february 3, 2014 it displayed same message again repeatedly. On february 17, 2014 i tried to put vehicle in 4 wheel drive neutral and it would not shift only displayed "service 4 wheel drive". As i do not use this system weekly during times of bad weather (i stay home) i was not aware of the problem. I believed that the service reminder message was for the fluid change that had been done at time of the recall at my expense and just had not been properly reset. I was unaware it was a warning of system failure.
I purchased this vehicle 2/15/14 three weeks later while driving on highway the gauges just came on and kept flashing it continued for the duration of my drive. Once i got to work and put it in park and turn it off and restarted it nothing happened. So 8.5 to 9 hrs later back on the highway it does it again this time just flashed 3 times. It was taking to a shop per finance company to which the mechanic kept for almost 2 weeks. The mechanic stated he could not find anything wrong with it. He needed to see it happen. So i took it back home the first week nothing happened. Second week nothing that third week it happened again this time while on highway on the way to work my speed dropped from 60 to 5 in less than a second. I pulled over and sat for 2 to 3 minutes an proceeded on with my cell phone ready to snap a picture if it happened again and low and be hold it does it again and this time it was continues until i turned off the vehicle once again it was taken to the shop with the proof he needed and again he stated he could not find anything wrong so he took it to jeep chrysler and had them reset everything and gave it back to me. For the next month nothing happened. But the following month once again the problem starts again. But this time it completely knocked out my radio. The finance company want help and i don't know what to do. Today is the 25th of july but two or three days ago there was a recall on 2006-2007 jeep commanders for faulty ignition switches. I really do not feel safe for me or my kids in this vehicle but noone seems to care. Not sure what to do about this problem but i truly hope you do.
Began experiencing issues with starting at all after the ignition switch recall was worked on and resolved. The jeep won't start at different times, different weather conditions. The proper positioning and the vehicle acknowledging it being in park is an issue. The jeep requires parking to be forced -using the gear lever shiftfrom drive to park and look for the jolt to indicate it's in the appropriate gear, in park
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.
My jeepupon being on the highway and in the right lane suddenly slowed down to the point of stalling and i had to bring the car to the side of the road and began shutting it off when coincidently the the light went on in the roof of the car and my headlight dimmed. I called the jeep place for an oil change and they diagnoised the car and did a recall on the ignition switch and told me the powertrain transfer case is bad and thermostat leaking from the housing and 4 wheel drive failed. I have never used the 4 wheel drive as i recently purchased the car at the end of april and own it for just 7 months. They said it will cost me over $750.00 dollars to be fixed. I called chrysler and they said my vehicle is not included however on your web site nhtsa campain# 13v175000 seems to apply to my diagnoised problems. I love my car but this is a defect in manufacturing and not something that i have done. The previous owner had this car constantly maintained at executive jeep in north haven ct. I want my car fixed at chrysler's cost notmine. I drive my car with my grandchildren in it and now feel it is unsafe.. Please help me. I have all records for the car and the diagnostic information should you need it. I also have howard the manager at jeep phone #.

Vehicle seem to loose power while cruising at or around 45 mph or when engages 4th gear. Rpm's drop really quick from 3500 to almost 1500 rpm's in matters of second. Increasing the risk of a rear end collision if trying to overtake another vehicle or driving up hill, dealer can't find problem. Problems happens every time under any weather condition.
I have a 06 jeep commander with the 5.7 hemi.i have been havinga problem tied the vehiclestalling at random time.most of the time it is while the vehicle is in motion.a few times at highway speeds.also and i dont know if its coincides but the jeep will buck like you hit something and the traction control light will illuminate and stay on. (dry roads).thank god no accidentsbut was told by countless jeep dealers there is no issue.
I received a recall notice about a week prior to this incident for nh23. It stated there were no parts to repair it and to put the emergency brake on while the vehicle is in park in the meantime which i did. On july 3rd- i took my daughter to the bmv to take her road test in my jeep. The officer and my child stated that the car was malfunctioning and not safe to test in. We had no problem on the way there. I went out to see what could be wrong and the vehicle was surging loudly and "jumping" in place. It would not switch gears either so it could not be driven.i had it towed to my mechanic and was told my transmission was gone. I called the recall number and spoke to [xxx] who told me that a software glitch would've prevented this problem from being diagnosed and to have it towed to ganley chrysler in bedford, oh. I learned on 7/9 when mike a service tech there called me requesting $936 to open the transmission. "it's a broken part in the transmission." i asked him if it was related to the tca. He said, "what's that? let me look it up." he then stated, "no. That's just a piece that is used to program the car. It has nothing to do with it." i called chrysler back and spoke with [xxx]. I gave her the background info and she called mike. She told me "it has nothing to do with the recall." the dealership did not know to diagnose my car once it was dropped of there. After speaking with the representative instead of doing a thorough check they maintained that the problem is that there is a broken part in the transmission and it is not r/t to the transfer case actuator. Even though the tca going bad can cause the transmission to ??go bad?? or break. I firmly believe it could not be appropriately diagnosed d/t a software glitch and that the tca needed replacing and the dealer did not have the parts as the recall stated. Why then should i pay for the repairs? information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

As with many others, i have a 2006 jeep commander. Owned it for a year and no problems. Aside from the old issues of which were an easy fix. (i.e. Leaking sunroof). I went in for the most recent recall, i figured sure, why not, i fixed everything and its running great! my mistake! i now have power train issues. Gear not shifting right. One time stayed in 3rd until i turned the car off and on again. Stays in gear too long before shift should occur and then 'buck's into the gear. Same for when stopping, does not shift down correctly and will stale when i finally come to a stop. Why the recall! i should have left wheel enough alone! terrible! i still love my jeep, but i fear this "free' fix for the recall is now going to cost me thousands....

Vehicle loses ignition power when driving at various speeds. Dash cluster warning lights flash multiple times. Speedometer, tachometer, fuel, temp gauges fall to zero point. Steering becomes difficult/inoperable. Vehicle will sometimes regain power. Recall related to ignition switch has been open since september 3, 2014. Manufacturer has not issued any solution/remedy. Manufacturer has suggested "removing extra keys/keychains from ignition key and avoid bumping the ignition key with knees." this is not a remedy. The problem still occurs. This is dangerous.recall is incomplete. Nhtsa recall number: 14v-438 manufacturer recall number: p41
Transmission over temp warning comes on periodically caddying another fan to cone on. If you turn off vehicle and crank back it goes away for a while. Seems to be worse when the car is idling but also happens while driving. This has been going on for over a year.

I hadparked myjeep on a hill i got out and walked about 20 feet in back of the jeep and all of a sudden i hear a sound of movement and i saw the jeep moving down the hill i was able to run fast enough to get into the jeep and pull the parking brake which stopped it. I forgot about the recallthat was on it with the final drive controller module i had called the jeep dealer to tell them that were i live they don't have the proper software to complete the repair in any shop. I live on the island of kodiak ak. They said they were working on getting this software to a repair shop here however, after i didn't hear from them for six months i called back and they told me that they couldn't help me and i had to take my jeep to them on the mainland. I can't afford to ferry my jeep to the mainland and then stay over there until they can repair it then ferry it back.so now i have experienced this situation which could have ended differently then it did i am thankful no one was hurt.
Everytime i drive my jeep it stalls and the wheel locks up (basically turns into manual steering) and my brakes lock up ( no brakes at all) and i had just bought this jeep a wk go from mcgee chevrolet in raynham ma. The first night i drove it home it stalled pulling in to the driveway. I called the dealership the next morning to tell them and they wouldn't take the jeep til the following wk to look at it they came up with every excuse in the world. When i brought the jeep in today they had me sign a deductible of 100 dollars but yet when i first test drove the jeep it i told them to fix it but all they did was cleared the codes (flashed the computer) now i have a rejection sticker on the vehicle and no car.
Was driving on highway and car went in to manual mode to neutral and will not come out of 3rd gear
After jeep recall 4 wheel low fails to engage. It gives a maintenance error instead.. This is affecting a lot of the jeeps with the trac 2 system. Look at the jeep forums. This was the final drive recall.
We have a 2006 jeep commander and it sometimes jerks back and forth while driving sometimes it even shifts into neutral and then back to drive the power steering works only part of the time and the airbag system says its off all the time and it will shut off while driving sometimes too really frustrated with this vehicle its a disaster and waiting to happen

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!
My jeep loses power every time i drive it stalls out while driving (scary when it happened on the freeway) at times it stops shifting and then slams like the whole transmission fell out of jeep.

The 4 wheel low was recalled and checked, but problem persist. The engine hesitates while driving, little stumbles and shakes while accelerating. While in park, weird sound is heard from light rev. I have had car for less than 3 days and problems occurred. I have a 2 ton paper weight at the moment as i feel it is unsafe to drive. I now have a decent size transmission leak after i park from short drives. I have but maybe 250 miles on it. I have heard of the 4.7 having some of these issues and a recall has been done, but not for the 5.7l hemi's. I have read numerous complaints on similar issues of exact engine model of commander, but recalls for it aren't available and only such for the 4.7l version.
My wife reported a strange thumping sound from under the car.she said it began after dropping children at school and going over a speed bump at the school.something she does every day.upon inspection i found the driver side emergency brake cable was interfering with the rear universal joint on the driveshaft.the cable was kinked and being cut by the rotation of the driveshaft. There was also abrasion of the gas tank splash guard.i have no doubt if this happened at highway speed the cable would be cut in half and possibly wrap around the driveshaft causing the driver side emergency brake to apply and lock-up the wheelresultingin a rollover. The gas tank could also have been punctured if the cable was pulled by the driveshaft.somehow the normal action of the vehicles suspension was able to place this cable in contact with the driveshaft.the rotation of the universal joint caught the cable pulling it into the rotating shaft.i consider this a class 1 defect thatshould be corrected with a model recall.normally the emergency brake cable is routed off to the side and not directly over the differential. What were they thinking?chrysler needs to devise a supplemental attaching point that will ensure the cables are not able to contact the driveshaft even under extreme off road driving.i have a full set of photos available upon request.i have ordered a new cable but the part number is on back order.this indicates there is a problem when the part cannot be stocked due to high demand.this cable should last the life of the vehicle without question.nhtsa is there for the public.it exists on public taxes.it is not there to shield corporate mistakes and short cuts.i feel that nhtsa is not operating within the public trust if itallows defects to be ignored.
On several occasions the jeep's engine has completely shut off while driving down the highway. The jeep has been taken to several dealerships but no problems have shown up on the computer diagnostics, so service techs won't touch it. This is very unsafe, chrysler will do nothing with the v6 only the v8.

After having the n23 recall performed on my jeep, i couldn't shift into 4lo, and when i tried i got a service 4wd system message. After 2 more trips to the dealer to redo the recall, with the same result, my dealer determined i had a bad transfer case actuator. At first they wanted me to pay for a new one, but i pointed out that i still had the 100,000 mile drive train warranty. They did replace the actuator under warranty. So far everything is ok. I use 4lo about once per week to check if it still works. The recall seems to do something to the actuators. All was fine till i had the recall (re flash) performed. Others have still had issues after receiving new actuators. Also, others have been forced to pay for the actuators even though they were ok prior to getting the recall done.
At around or about the speed of 55 mph ,i here a loud and scary thumping or grinding sound under the car. It sounds like its right underneath my seat. I immediately got off the expressway and slowed down. That seemed to help the sound go away.when i drive to work in the morning, i only drive 35 mph and i can here the soundalso and when i let off the accelerator the sound stops, but continues when i press on the gas. Pls notify me as soon as possible with any helpful information as i do drive with little children in the vehicle. I will take the car to the jeep dealer to get checked out.[xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Along with that it was raining and the sunroof starts leaking. 8 months prior i had to replace the transmission. What a jeep and i am still paying on it.!! the jeep people needs to recall these and at least reimburse people, now im stuck with buying a 5000 engine on a set income...basically couldve bought a brand new car with the funds i put out so far..
Keep getting "transmission over temp" code and cooling fans turn on. Dealer say it cannot be recreated. If vehicle is shut off and started back on code goes away.

My jeep commander started having trouble skipping. There was a recall on the control module and the fix determined by chrysler was to re-program it. I took it in to have the recall performed and the transmission check afterwards. When i arrived to pick it up, the dealership said the technician was out sick so all they could do was the recall. The car drove worse after i started home and failed to get transition between gears. I was forced to stop at the closest transmission shop. Their certified technician diagnosed that the transmission was bad. So, i had them they replaced it. When they went to test drive it, apparently the new transmission also failed due to the control module. They took it to the dealership and had a new control module installed. After repairing the new transmission, i was charged $4000. Whatever the recall "fix" for the control module was, it clearly was the cause for the transmission's destruction. The other recall for the ignition could not be done because chrysler has no manufactured part to fix it. I sold the commander the next day. I needed reliable transportation.the consumer stated she started having problems with the starter.updated 04/06/15
While driving at 45 mph the vehicle just turned off. There is a faulty ignition switch recall but chrysler will not do anything to help get this repaired. I received a recall notice and contacted them but they will not get back to me about repair. This 2006 vehicle is being driven by my daughter who is 19 years old and away at college. Unfortunately my vehicle is a 2007 jeep commander and has the same recall therefore i can't even give her my vehicle to drive since it is unsafe as well. At the very least chrysler should repair these vehicle pronto! in the interim they should provide a safe vehicle for my daughter to drive.
This problem happens year round.once you put the vehicle into drive, all of the shift lights "prnd" light up and the vehicle won't accelerate.if you are already driving down the road/ freeway, it will randomly light up and stop accelerating.when it randomly occurs, it happens with no warning, andyou have to attempt to pull the vehicle over to the side of road, put it into neutral or park or restart the vehicle, and attempt it again.the check engine light will come on and the problem will happen repeatedly over a week period, then the problem will stop for a week or two and then resurface at the worst time- for example an intersection, an on-ramp, a busy street, and it has presented huge safety issues for me and my family.does it take someone dying for this to get recalled?i have read forum after forum of the same issue amongst consumers with my exact make, model, and year (and earlier models) and yet, when i called jeep, they say they have never heard of it, there is no recall, and i've been turned away.
For the passed 3 years our vehicle has switched gears from drive to 3rd gear, while driving. The vehicle jolts and changes gear for a few months and returns back to normal. We continue to use it at 3rd gear. There is no way to change it back to drive manually. We've taken it in to auto shops and the symptoms return.
Car rolls in park from time to time unless the emergency brake is set. Makes very loud grinding noise when in reverse afterward. Has "service 4wd system" message.no mechanic has been able to identify the problem.
2006 jeep commander with check engine light took to dealer and was told they couldn't fix the used scan tool to look up code p0700 and this took them to p2767 input speed sensor was told its an internal transmission part and they cant fix was told they cant duplicate problem so they cant fix at this time . My vehicle hesitates when accelerating and also bucks.
Replaced bezel gear selector 3 times since 2006. As of september 2016 a 4th replacement is required per golling chrysler. Vehicle attempts to stall after 1-2 seconds when starting from a stopped position. The check engine light illuminates and a service message appears stating "service park assist system." several times from 2006 - 2016 the vehicle almost stalled when entering intersections of city streets. Whenever condition occured the part was replaced (3 times). Part causing the conditions is part# ch68004143-af prndl bezel gear selector and ch52108308-ac connector electrical (transmission). I believe the gear selector and transmission to be defective due to the frequent failure which could cause a safety incident.

I cannot "safely" drive my vehicle as the car goes into neutral on it's own? there have been many a times that i have been on the highway traveling 55 mph or more and all of a sudden, the car would slightly jerk and then loose complete power. I would step on the accelerator but no change, i would simply pull off to the side of the highway. Wait a few minutes and eventually the car would start up again? the headlights and interior lights go off and on? the face plate to the radio system gets hot? and has affected the illumination of the dashboard instrumental lighting? this is not a vin thing but a jeep commander thing? such an attractive vehicle with so many many issues? safety issues. And the company has yet to fulfill the recalls? its been more than a year? dealers keep telling the consumers, the part isn't available yet? i need to be able to drive to work, this has cost me additional money to buy a reliable vehicle to get me to work.i paid over $35,000 for it, and meanwhile it sits in the garage. A lot of money for your average joe to fork out. Who's going to force the manufacturer to honor the recall?
I have getting intermediate message since may saying "transmission over temp" in dash area. I have taken to the dealer on may 14, in which they took an educated guess to change my transmission fluid. I agreed to the service which did not solve the problem. I took to back the dealer again on june 1, for the same problem. This time the dealer technicians worked along with chrysler by opening a case. The corporate chrysler techs recommend to replace the solenoid, i agreed to do that. Since may i have spent over $1320.00 at dulles jeep and i still have the same problem. Please advise how can you help me?thank youandrew
1st my car has been having starting issues. The fuel pump was changed twice and that's not the issue.it seems to be coming from the wiring heading into the fuse panel in the engine. When i move it around it starts sometimes. And also when i put black tape around the wires it seems to correct the issues for weeks at a time. The problem is u never know when its gonna start or not. Now my engine, traction control and esp/bas warning lights are coming on. When that happens the transmission starts going haywire and feels like its only running on 1 gear plus when i reverse it feels like something grinds in the gears. However when those warning lights go off everything seems to go back to normal. Recently all the warning lights came on and the transmission over temp warning came on and my ac stopped blowing cold air and shortly after the car stalled in traffic on the highway. Thank god i was able to restart it but then it felt like the car drove all the way home using 2nd gear only in the automatic transmission. From reading other issues people are having online its obvious this model is having major electrical issues that no one seems to be able to correct. I am a jeep lover but this model has completely made it difficult on me since its my only car and its so unreliable.i don't have the means to replace it right now so this situation has been unfortunate for me
For no reason the jeep would just die, on the intrastate, in town, anywhere, justshut off, then after a hour or so it would start again.after being in the shop many weeks for this, the two computers were found to be the problem.changed the computers, at the fee of almost $ 2000 and no more problems, which the money is nothing knowing my teenage daughter wont stall on the intrastate and be killed. Chrylser corp can care less !!!!

All stalls happened when coming to a stop except for one instance when it stalled while in reverse. A drop in rmps and lighting/instrument failure accompanies the stall. Chrysler's recall n32 was completed october 2013. Vehicle has been owned since early 2011 with no stalling of this type having occurred prior to this. No instrument panel indication (e.g. Check engine light) accompanies the stall. Vehicle restarted on all occasions after shifting to park or neutral.
I had the jeep n23 recall done last august on my commander. Afterwards i had a service light and 4wd lo didn't engage. I returned to the dealer to redo the recall 2 more visits. Afterward the last recall attempt my dealer changed the t/case actuator. This fixed it for 2 months before the problem returned. We paid good money for these vehicles, and they should work as they did when we bought them. Jeep doesn't acknowledge any problems.
While driving my jeep will go from d to n.it will place a box around all gears and i will be in neutral.it typically happens when i first take off or when i stop at a light or a stop sign.when i first take off it will rev really high and not shift down automatically like it should, when i take my foot of the accelerator the car jolts and i'm in neutral, i have to physically put it in neutral or park in order for it to go back to drive.when i stop at a red light it jolts and now is in neutral and again i have to either put it in park or neutral in order for it to go back into drive.i have contacted jeep because there was a recall for this very problem, however the part that is on my jeep is a different serial number that the recall and they refuse to recall it also even though it does the exact same thing and throws the vehicle into neutral while i'm driving!
Chrysler released the n23 recall to update the final drive controller, this update has affected the transfer case motor function. My 2006 commander has had a catastrophic failure and cannot be fixed. The jeep dealer informed me that chrysler has pulled all the replacement parts from the supply system (transfer case motor) and there is no timeline for availability. There is no substitute parts to fix, nor aftermarket option. My car is worthless now!

I'm a owner of a 2006 jeep commander limited and starting to become frustrated and scared to drive this beautiful car.the problem is that the car stalls out (looses power, electrical, power brakes/ steering, everything) when slowing down at a red light, stop sign, parking spot, etc.i have contacted the dealer and several repair shops concerning this problem and they all tell me that they have no idea what it could be and there are no recalls on the issue.just wanted to see what if anything you suggest for me to do as this i not the first time this has happened and probably not the last.thanks
When driving on the highway the vehicles engine just stops. Power steering is gone if you have to maneuver out of the way it's very difficult when decelerating it seems to down shift very hard like going form 4th to 1st the dash lights flash randomly when ever they feel like it.i've been thru 3 fan speed controls fir the heaterthis has been happening for the last 2 years
When driving my jeep commander it stalls. It happens when i am stopped and try to go or when i slow down then try and accelerate. My life has been at risk when this happens. One of the times i was driving on the interstate going 65mph and it stalled. I am extremely upset about this especially since i have a 2 year old son that is in the car with me.
While driving, jeep commander will randomly jump to neutral and when press gas will rev up only. Have to either manually shift the gear to neutral then back to drive or pullover turn off jeep and star back up. The physical shifter does not move to neutral position just the actual gear.does at random times and speeds and when it does the jeep will not accelerate which can cause accidents especially on highways.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. While driving approximately 60 mph, the engine rpms increased excessively as the vehicle decelerated abnormally.

Hello, my 2006 jeep commander started stalling out over a year ago and has stalled on me on and off various times at different speeds but usually at a higher rate of speed, which has been very scary. I have chosen not to drive the vehicle anymore and now it is sitting in my driveway and i am driving a 1991 honda because i cannot afford to buy a new car at this time. I just paid this jeep off and now i cannot drive the vehicle. The dealer fixed the one recall on the vehicle called the front control module and it ran fine for a couple of weeks and now once again the car stalled out while i was headed to a camping trip with my kids a couple months ago going 50 mph and almost caused an accident. I was almost hit by a semi and several cars were honking and trying to avoid my jeep. I lose all power steering and there are no notifications that the car will stall so it is very scary and dangerous for me and my children. I am so upset that i cannot drive the car and feel safe. I have contacted jeep and they have a recall for 2006 jeep commanders that covers up to january 2006 and my vehicle was made in march so they told me there is nothing they can do. The recall was for the pcm which my car has the same code on the diagnosis but now they are telling me to take it to the dealer and i have to pay for this. I really hope that this situation can be resolved by jeep stepping up and taking care of this issue for the safety of people.
I took my car to the recall to get the reflash in may of last year. When the winter came i tried using my 4 wheel drive and the "service 4 wheel drive" error. Fix this!
N23 recall performed prior to purchasing used jeep commander.a week after purchasing i receive a "service 4wd" message and am unable to to use 40.chrysler dealer has flashed fdcm which corrected the issue for several days, however the service 4wd has come back on.the service 4wd appears on startup nearly every time.
My jeep stalled as i accellerated on the on ramp of a major interstate. I coasted to the shoulder and tried to restart and would not restart until i shut it completely off and restarted. It ran with the check engine light on and the cruise control inopertable. Idle was rough at low and higher rpm's.after about six restarts throughout the day the check engine light went out but the cruise control is still inopertable. One week later it stalled at idle during cold weather warm up with the same results following as before. The vehicle was purchased used from a dealer less than a week prior to the incident with 84,879 mi. A background check through autocheck was conducted prior to purchase with no major finding reported on this specific vehicle. From investigations through multible websites, this issue is common with this vehicle for several years.i have check the recall reports by vin # and this vehicle does not fall in the production catagory of manufacture recall but has the exact same symtoms for a recall. This is a major safety concern if the vehicle stalls on a rural highway with no shoulder to safely pullover.
While sitting at a stoplight vehicle will not accelerate feels as the loss of power. Vehicle does not want to move then told it's in some sort of safety mode i think the lead frame is failing from what i can tell. Vehicle sitting at a stoplight fails to accelerate barely moves

I own a 2006 jeep commander.i got notice for a recall on it, recall h19 about bad software programmed into the powertrain control module.i took it in and 2 days later my transmission locked into 3rd gear.i'm not a mechanic but i do know that the transmission is powertrain.i took it in to get check and they said i need a new solenoid which gets its signal to switch gears from the powertrain control module.they won't cover it though.i called jeep and they also said they won't cover it.i ask the garage if they could change it back to the way it was before the recall and they said no.my jeep was running fine before i brought it in for the recall.anyways after arguing with everyone about it i gave up and decided i'll pay for it, but come to find out, a transmission solenoid pack for jeep commanders are on factory backorder and don't know when they'll get the part.so that goes to say that alot of jeep commanders transmission solenoids are going bad.i was driving when the transmission locked into 3rd gear, the vehicle gave us a jerk when it shifted down to 3rd gear, from then on it wouldn't go into another gear.

After driving for short amount of time ( 15-20 minutes) the transmission seems to lag into shifting. There is also a problem when trying to manually shift gears. Tried shifting into low gear at stop light, and the indicator on the dash stays in ' d' and will not engage in other lower gears. It also appears to lag when traveling at a stead speed, about 30-45 miles per hour.

2006 jeep commander limited 4x4, 5.7liter hemi.vehicle stalls while driving at low speed.dealer can not replicate problem.problem occurred while under warranty but warranty has since expired.vehicle currently has 42000 miles.jeep was contacted and stated that since the vehicle is no longer under warranty and the problem could not be duplicated it is now my problem.they further stated that they have never heard of this problem before although through research on the internet it is a common problem and has been reported numerous times.
After recall n23 i lost my 4 low range.
Commander started to have dash problems, such as transmission light s would surround all be circled or boxedwith a square light so i would not know what was going on in 2007 this went on for years. I would pull over and stop put the jeep in park or try to put back into drive but it would really be in neutral and then it would jump into drive or 1st or 2nd and could not get back out unless i turned vehicle off then i would be lucky to get the vehicle to go into gear, and when it would go into get it would jump and make a loud noise and scare the pants off of me. Then the vehicle would run like knew for a few weeks with no problems and then same conditions applied, could go for months, or a year and then same conditions happened again. If i took the problem to a jeep dealer they would say it would have to be having problem in order for them to diagnose. The chrysler would not pay for my recalled commander2006, even though i had already had a jeep dealership in bloomington mn., fix the condition on 12/21/12. I also had the same problem 0n 8/8/2012 in cloquet mn.., and at stillwater motors 06/30/07, all jeep dealershipschrysler call centersaid, once the recall came out chryslersaid i am out of luck. My jeep commander was jumping into gear any gear and is the same problem they are reporting. Please help me access my recall so i can recover my funds.chrysler, has on 3 calls said my 2006 commander is not on their list.
While traveling on an expressway in central michigan, i was using the cruise control to maintain a speed of 75 mph.with no warning at all, the mechanical components of the vehicle shut down, leaving my jeep "dead in the highway".i was able to steer and brake, but the vehicle would not respond to acceleration by pressing the gas pedal.i pulled off to the shoulder, luckily without incident.turned the key to the "off" position and waited about 10 seconds.i turned the key to the "on" position and it started back up.i cautiously drove at a considerably slower speed until i was able to get to a rest stop.when i got to my destination i found a local auto parts store and had them do a diagnostic check.it showed a maf sensor gone bad.mass air flow sensor was replaced.hoping that was the issue, after several days, my family and i headed back home on the other side of the state.while driving about 60 mph with cruise control, there were no issues.i figured the problem was fixed.unfortunately, i was wrong.as i reached the highway where the speed limit is 70 mph, i accelerated to 70 mph with the cruise control.as soon as i broke the 70 mph point, the car mechanically stalled again as i was trying to merge onto the busy highway.again, luckily, i made it safely to the shoulder and restarted.i was able to exceed 70 mph on the way home without using the cruise control.concerned for my pregnant wife, toddler son, and my own safety, as this happened on a busy highway at a high rate of speed; with no warning lights or sounds.

I am writing this because i received a recall (n26) for my 2006 jeep commander. I took my car in to get the recall fixed to huntington beach jeep off beach blvd. On nov. 7th 2013and they did the service, but ever since they "fixed" the recall my car has now been saying ?service 4wd? and not shifting into 4wd. I took the car back into huntington beach jeep on jan 7th 2014 and i thought it could be an easy fix but i got a call saying it could be the ?main transfer case? and once that is fixed it could also be the front and/or rear transfer cases as well. They recommended i start off with replacing the main transfer case and then go from there which would cost me around $800+. So since all my car needs all these parts replaced, i started becoming very concerned and i just don?t understand how these parts could ware out or brake when just about a month ago during inspection hb jeep passed all these transfer case parts with a green (excellent) service review. How could in one month all these parts break when i couldn?t even use my 4wd, and its frustrating because my 4wd was working fine before i took it in to get this recall update and now all these problems seem to be appearing. Last but not least i know with my car being a 2006 its anything but new but i probably use my 4wd a hand-full of times a year and to think that these parts are worn out or broken just seems very unusual. I spent sometime online researching to see if anyone else has had this ?n26 recall issue? and there is thousands of people who are having this same situation. I?m writing this e-mail hoping that someone can please help me and everyone else having this ?n26 recall issue? problem get settled. I am just a 23 year old college student and to hear that all of a sudden your car needs hundreds of dollars invested in it when it was working fine before i took it in to this recall is just frustrating.
In may, 2013 i received recall, n23. Soon after i had the recall applied. On the first attempt to use the 4 wheel drive feature it failed. I went to another dealer who disconnected the transfer case, checked the connections and voltages and found them ok. They reconnected the transfer case and reported it operational. A few weeks later, while traveling, i received another warning that the transfer case failed. I went to a local jeep dealer who diagnosed the problem as needing an actuator.when i returned home i went to the dealer that applied the original recall which was a software update. After they cleared the error codes they said they found a broken connector on the actuator. I assume all the manual handling of the actuator probably caused the connector to brake. I was told that the actuator had to be replaced but was on backorder.i have paperwork that indicates that the original problem found was a cracked circuit board in the actuator. How can a software update fix a cracked circuit board? could that be why there are no new actuators available? were they pulled off the market?there are many jeep owners that i am in contact with that are having the same problem as i am and are being told the same thing by chrysler that i am: that the recall did not cause the damage to the actuator. Something needs to be done to resolve this problem. Someone outside of chrysler and the owners needs to investigate to get to the bottom.
When i accelerate it sometimes says something like transmission temp high and beeps
Safety recall n23. I took this vehicle in for the recall in april 2014. I was told the recall had already been performed & no work was needed. They could not give me a date of the previous update for this recall. So the recall was performed on my vehicle at some time. Now i have a constant error flashing "service 4wd system." this vehicle also has noworking 4wd low. I feel this is a direct result of the software update that was used for this recall. I do not feel that a software update will correct a cracked or damaged circuit board.
2006 jeep commander.consumer writes in regards to vehicle transfer case motor actuator recall notice and seeks compensation for repairs.the consumer stated the service 4wd system warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where they replaced the transfer case motor actuator at a cost of $ 708.95. The consumer received a recall notice, several months later and applied for compensation under the recall. However, chrysler informed the consumer that a fix for the recall had not been found and he would received another recall notice when the decision was made on how to fix the problem.in september, the consumer received a second recall notice and contacted chrysler about his compensation. He was assigned another case number and was informed the refund would be paid out in four weeks. In later october, he again contacted chrysler about the status of his refund. He was informed, the claim was denied since it had nothing to do with the shifting into neutral addressed in the recall.
The first problem is that when going down a drive and stop at the end the car will shift from drive and the engine will shut off the second problem is the car will shift from drive to 3rd gear and stick i have had it to a transmission shop numerous times and they can't find the problem

While driving the dash lights went out and headlights started flashing on and off.took it to dealer and they found no trouble.the vehicle keeps blowing rear tail light bulbs, and blower motor at times does not work on certain speeds.cigarette lighter/power outlets stopped working even though fuse is good.power windows intermittently stop working. The transmission went out around 62,000 miles.had dealer replace transmission and now at 102,000 miles the transmission will loose drive when shifting into 3rd under moderate acceleration.you then have to pull off the road and put the car in park, then back in drive to regain drive.transmission also "surges" under light throttle conditions at low speeds(10-20mph).i have contacted jeep and their response was that because of the mileage on the vehicle they could do nothing.i feel that the flashing lights and the loss of drive while in traffic are major safety issues.i have been researching this vehicle and found may other owners with the exact same problems.

2006 jeep commander electrical system recall 13v175000nhtsa:action number: n/aservice bulletin number: 13v175000 i had my commander taken to the local jeep dealer to perform the recall. After the recall was performed my car would not shift into 4lo, and i got a service light. I returned my car to the dealer twice more to redo the recall. My 4lo would work for a few days then it would again not work and the service light would return. My dealer then ordered a transfer case shift actuator under warranty, and assured me this would fix the problem. After the actuator was installed, i had no problems for about 2 months. I really thought it was fixed for good. Then, the problem returned. I have since talked to others who have had this recall done, and they also complain about the loss of 4lo, and a service light afterward. These problems were non existent prior to the recall in most cases. I believe this recall should be looked at, and recalled again to fix this recall induced problem.

October, 2013 received notification that there was a safety recall on my 2006 jeep commander. (as i have two young children, this was a priority to have fixed) i brought my jeep into the dealership to have the n23 safety recall performed. Come january, 2014 with a few inches of snow on the ground i attempt to activate my 4 wheel low and i get a service light stating "service 4wd". I contact the dealership who had performed the recall and bring it in to be looked at. They run a diagnosis and determine the truck has an internal short in the transfer case. The service tech advised me it is related to the recall but he can not do anything at the dealer level. I need to call chrysler customer service who tells me they will not be doing anything to help. Upon a little research (jeep forums) it seems there are many (many) others with the same issues. I am sure i am not the only one to call jeep with this issue and if you clear the codes the 4 wheel low engages so it is not a short. I believe chrysler jeep should look into what was performed with the n23 recall and determine how it effected the 4 wheel low on these vehicles. Then reprogram them to work, as they were, at no cost to the owner. Since this was a safety recall i felt i had no option but to have the recall performed on my vehicle now i have a faulty vehicle.

Worst vehicle ever! we got it with around 98k miles on it, and it now only has 103k miles on it and in the last 4k we've put over $5k into it trying to get it to run. We had to put a new transmission in ($2k) and have the lifters in the engine replaced ($2,600). Currently it's been shutting off on its own a few seconds after i start it and giving random "transmission over temp" and "service 4x4 system" messages even though there's not a problem with those systems.i turn the key, it runs for 3 seconds, then shuts off. Sometimes it does this several times in a row and then won't start at all. Other times it starts fine so it's ridiculously hard to diagnose. Sometimes when it's doing it's shut down bit, you can get it to stay on a little longer by revving the engine, and it will let you pull out of the driveway, but then shuts off in the middle of the street. The sun roof leaks horrifically, even after i've tried the "clip the nipples off the bottom of the hoses" trick.

I purchased my car in july, 2012, it is now oct, 2013, and i have had numerous problems with the jeep, for starters the lights and dash board lights keep flickering on an off by themselves, and nowjeep won't pick up speed at times and the engine light came on, i took it to the dealer and they stated that it was a shift module problem that would cost 997. Well i took it from the shop and a week later brought it back and they then stated that they would have to take the transmission apart and clean it because it might be debris that is on it, well later they call me to say that it was the transmission i need a new one and for that it will cost me 2900....there was a recall on this same type of problem back in 2008, could it be that i purchased this vehicle and they never had this problem fixed???
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. The contact stated that the transmission, the catalytic converter, and the windshield wipers failed. The contact also stated that the vehicle failed to shift gears and the seat belt failed to retract. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the transmission solenoid and the catalytic converter sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the seat belt and the windshield wiper motor were not replaced. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.
My jeep had an n23 recall performed at park jeep in burnsville, mn. After the recall was performed, the four wheel drive system low range became inoperable. A message appears on the dash: 'service four wheel drive'.i notified the dealer about his issue. They performed some reprogramming that they said would fix the issue. This reprogramming did not work, as the issue has returned, and my four wheel drive system is not operating as expected. I notified jeep customer service, and they have no solution for this problem. The dealer has no solution for this problem. About 500,000 grand cherokees and commanders that have this four wheel drive system are affected. No one can guarantee that it will not affect normal operation of the vehicle. And no one knows what the system can do in traffic on it's own without warning to the driver of the vehicle.the n23 recall performed by my jeep dealer has created this problem, and it needs to be addressed by the manufacturer now. Chrysler/jeep needs to provide a proper repair so that the owners of these vehicles can count on their jeeps to perform as they were represented to perform when purchased, and with the knowledge that the vehicle will perform in a safe manner with no unexpected limitations or actions as they are driven on the public roads. Search on the internet will show scores of links to this n23 recall created problem, and chrysler/jeep's lack of action on this issue. This needs action now.
As i driving down the highway i can be going between 40-60 mph and if i let off the gas and just coast and then give it gas again its like it is in neutral and it continues to do this until the car is going 20 mph or under and it is very dangerous it has caused me to almosthave several wrecks and i have 5 kids which were with me in the car each time this has happened to me something needs to be done!

2006 jeep commander limited 5.7l v8 message as appears on dash - transmission over temp while driving a short distance the message transmission over temp appears, the fan kicks on high & is very loud, and it feels like the transmission disengages like being thrown into neutral, but is still drivable. About 2 weeks prior, i noticed smoke coming out from under hood & the engine coolant tank was almost empty. There were no visible leaks on carport. I refilled the tank & immediately called kilby automotive repair shop, then took it in. They said that the radiator cap needed to be replaced. The also said the valve cover gasket was leaking. They replaced the radiator cap & made an appointment for june 3rd to replace the valve cover gasket. Before that appointment the vehicle started displaying the transmission over temp message. I took it into kilby automotive on may 27, 2021. They said it was a faulty transmission temperature sensor, but they could not repair. They have done a lot of repairs on the vehicle for several years.i called ultimate luxury auto service explaining the issue. The man said that he could put a new sensor in & there is a broken transmission mount. He replaced the sensor. Fix mount later. When i was driving home, the same message appeared & the fan kicked on as before. I messaged the shop & took the vehicle back in. They put a 2nd sensor in, drove it & received the same transmission over temp message. They returned the 2 new sensors & put my original sensor back in. They said they were sorry they could not fix it & dropped the price of repairs. I entered the make, model, & message online & found out a lot of people have the same problem. Some people have said they replaced numerous parts & it did not fix it, and others say they replaced the pcm. I am disabled and do not want to be stranded or have a vehicle fire. I am afraid that it would pose a risk to me & others, as transmission oil can ignite on hot surfaces and cause a fire in the engine.

Stalling when in park, stalling on the freeway at high speeds, very low idle when parked or at a red light p.
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.
06 commander. Started up vehicle and let it warm up , put it in drive and nothing, tried reverse, still nothing, it has just around 115000mi on it. Started my online research and found there is more issues . I've had it stall twice at a stop light. Idle fluctuates at times at stop light. And delay when putting car in drive on occasion.these are the only issues i've had , besides broken exhaust studs.and normal wear and tear parts. All tranny fluids and filter were changed at 65000 mi along with diff fluids and transfer case fluids. Absolutely love my jeep up until these issues. We'll see what my mechanic makes of all of this soon . I prey it's nothing to major.
I had the n-23 recall completed. Currently still having the same issue with my 4 wheel drive.
My jeep commander 2006 shifts automatically to neutral while driving, you feel a strong pull and a loud sound coming from the engine, suddenly the car is in neutral and the gas pedal doesn't work even if pressing it. The check engine light turns on for 2 or 3 days. This problem can cause a fatal accident if this happens while driving at a higher speed, i'm scared to drive this car. I took this car to get the transmission fixed twice and i still have the same problem, it is clearly not a transmission problem now that i think about it. Also the dash lights and headlights start flashing while driving, including the ac it shuts off while lights are flashing. I called chrysler to let them know about this problem and they said my car doesn't have a recall, i don't know what else to do, i've spent more than 5,000 dlls trying to fix something that cannot be fixed, i need help!
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. She stated while at a traffic stop, the vehicle sporadically stalled and restarted itself repeatedly.

The vehicle was neither diagnosed nor repaired. The failure and current mileages were 43,000.
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?
My jeep acts as if i turned the ignition off while going down the road.today it did it again going down the highway at 65-70 mph.i have no additional keys on the key chain.my seat is slid back and there was no contact with my knee and the ignition switch.i have a 2006 jeep commander and have complained about this since 2007.there is a current recall(p41 / nhtsa 14v-438), that i was finally notified about by my dealera year ago but there are still no parts available to fix the problem.how long should a known safety issue be allowed to go on without a fix.should we wait for someone to get into an accident and die?
Regardless of distance traveled, outside temperature, the 'transmission over temp' message appears on the dash.had coolant flushed 2x but message still appears intermittently.had mechanic look at more than a few times, however could not replicate message and thus no resolution/fix to problem.jeep recently had ignition switch recall completed (thought that would never happen) but 'transmission over temp' would occur prior to that recall being completed.thought the two were connected somehow.main concern is the engine does not overhear, temp reads below middle mark but when transmission message appears, after a few minutes, transmission feels 'off' or jumpy.something is definitely happening.not safe to drive, not confident taking it on long trips because of possible damage that may occur, not to mention being stranded.this is my girlfriends truck and i'm not comfortable having her drive too far, especially in the evening.his is inconvenient because we take care of our vehicles, this truck has low miles, 62,000.would really like to resolve this because we love the trick but cannot trust taking it on trips, towing our boat which was the original purpose of having truck.what a stressful vehicle to have.very dissatisfied with this truck.again, the transmission over temp would occur intermittently, on the highway at times, in traffic, small trips, after sitting parked aftera short trip, message reappears once truck is started again.no rhyme of reason to this.

There was a recall for a software update. I brought the vehicle in and received the service in september 2013. When i went to use the 4wd, it would not activate so i brought it in for service and i discovered that this is a problem related to the software update. I have been without a vehicle for close to four weeks because the replacement parts are not available. Chrysler updated something that effected the rest of the electronic controls and they didn't test it out first. It has cost me thousands of dollars and the car is still not fixed yet.

The consumer stated she was unaware of the final drive controller module software issue at the time.the recall notice was issued in may 2013, but she wasn't notified until september.the consumer submitted the documents along with the contact information from the repair shop, only to be told she was not eligible for reimbursement, because it was not the same issue as the recall described. She asked for clarification on the factors contributing to that determination and was informed the repair shop could not verify the issue caused by the drive controller module.

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.

This is an update of my previous post.my 2006 3.7 liter commander 4x4 has been at the dealer since monday the 7th.when i took it in it had been stalling now and then, the engine light was on and the display "service park assist" had came on the day before i took it in.on the way to the dealer, it shut down no breaks, steering, nothing.the dealer tested it and said it gave them a code u1400 which was the tcm module. They replaced it and told me to come and get it on june 9th.i picked it up and on the way home, going up a slight incline about a block fro the dealer, it shut down again, and started rolling backward down the hill, and all i could do was pull the emergency break and pray that it still worked, it did.after three tries, i got it started and took it back to the dealer, who put a computer on it as soon as i got there, they told me i would have to get a ride home, and the next day called and said it needed ecm module, they also told me that they contacted chrysler and they had a 1000 piece backlog on them.i asked them what i should do for transport, and they told me i should call chrysler because the car was unsafe to drive.they also told me that there had been a major recall on the 2006 4.7 liter commander for the same problem, but not the 3.7 models.the dealership has been great, but chrysler has been unreal to deal with, they simply do not care about the customer, and have been no help.i called the dealer today to let them know that chrysler told me the part would be ready for delivery on july 18th, but my guess is that if there's 1000 backordered, it will be some time before i will get mine.i guess we will see.
Torque converter broke apart causing transmission failure at 45,300 miles.
I purchased a 2006 jeep commander last year.i have had the following items replaced on my jeep front passenger interior door panel.strange noise coming from my car that sounded like playing cards in bike tires ended with replacing front axel ring and pinion.car kept popping out of gear the entire gear shift was replaced. My passenger window had to be fixed it kept sticking halfway up. I had a problem where my car kept stalling.i was told the first time that no error appears on the computer and jeep knew of no issue with cars stalling so maybe it was bad gas.it died several more times and finally they did replace a part inside the idol.i also had an issue where my headlights kept turning off as i drove or would flash on and off.they replaced the headlight switch. I have had the rubber stripping from my back driver side window come off and now it is occurring on the passenger side. From the beginning i have told them i do not feel my transmission is working properly that it shifts hard and when i shift from reverse to drive there is a big hesitation.i have been told no error is appearing on computer and that jeep as usual has no known issues so they had no suggestions.once again they thought it was a gas issue moving from winter to summer blend.the last time i had it in when it was stalling i told them it the transmission was still hesitating and would make a pop noise at times then it would go.it is still occurring and at times the car acts like it might not shift into drive.i am satisfied with how my dealership is working with me they are doing their best to help me.i blame jeep/chrysler all you have to do is search the web to see that there are so many others just like me with the exact same issue.they need to recall these cars now and if they can not find the problem then replace them for us.

We continue to have problems with the dash lights coming on, stalling just today 7/22- the lights lit up and the air conditioner quit working!!! no fan no blower... Nothing.

They gave me the carfax report after 30 visits to the service dept.... Fool me once,fool me twice... I am hoping that jeep will buy it back again for this complete lemon!! i know have 37k on it and the service dept was talking that they did not know if jeep would cover the work.... They can keep it..
Car frequently stalls.dealer has been unable to fix it.ongoing for several months.the car has been in at least five times for this problem.
My 2006 jeep commander stalls. I purchased the vehicle 2 months ago and the jeep has stalled around 10 times to date. I took the commander to barton jeep here in spokane...they said they "flashed" the computer. They said this should fix the problem. Nope! stalled 3 times in the last week (which is when we got the jeep back from barton jeep). My concern is that my wife could get into a serious accident if the vehicle decides to stall on the freeway or somewhere else. Please help me!

I have a 2006 jeep limited commander. I bought new. In less than 9,000 miles i had the car in the shop 3 times for transmission issues. Then in july 2007 the transfer case had to be replaced, stalling my family in the middle of hwy 71 going 65 mph. After that the hard shifting continued and i took to shop three other times. All that was said is can't duplicate problem. Yesterday with 41k miles on the car, all of the gauges went out while driving. No tac, no speed, ac went out. Very bad and very dangerous. Jeep knows about the transmission issues and will not fix properly.
My wife was preparing to merge into traffic from a parking lot on a busy street in our hometown.in this particular parking lot there is a telephone pole near the egress portion of the parking lot.as she was pulling out the vehicle stalled, causing complete loss of control of steering and braking causing the vehicle to strike the telephone pole causing some damage to the jeep.we purchased this vehicle because we felt it would be safe for our family of 5, myself, my wife and my three young girls under the age of 8.i have lost all confidence in the safety of this vehicle and i refuse to put my family in jeopardy with this vehicle, this vehicle has done this many times before and the dealer can not find a fix.i have contacted an attorney and he has taken my case as a lemon law claim will be filed.this vehicle has had numerous other problems since the week we brought it home.i have always owned jeep, from cj's to cherokee and now the commander, i have always been happy with the jeep legacy but i have lost all faith in the new jeep.please help before someone gets killed in this jeep.

At approx 29k my 2006 jeep commander began acting like it was going to stall out while the engine idled whether in park or drive.it also would act like it was going to stall if i were turning and hit a curb or bump.examples of when this happened:1.at night, my engine was running, the car was indrive with my foot on the brake and my door was open; the interior lights began to dim and the engine almost cut off.2.i was turning right from one road to another and hit the curb and the engine almost stalled.3.i was stopped at an intersection waiting to turn right onto a road when the engine almost stalled.3.i wasparked with the engine running idle at a gas station looking for my atm card when the engine almost stalled.these instances seem to happen every couple of weeks.the jeep has been to 2 different dealers three different times for this and they told me that they can't replicate the problem and that my alternator is working at the correct amps.in addition, i have had transmission leaks and my family was left stranded 6 hours away due to a transmission problem that one dealer said was the mistake of another when they fixed my transmission leak.
Driving my 2006 jeep commander on 635e in dallas, tx, the car just died going 70 mph with 6 lanes of traffic, and i was in the lane next to the hov lane and it had not shoulder, just a concrete wall.rather that cross 4 lanes of heavy fast traffic with no acceleration in the car, i went into the hov lane which had less traffic and got rear ended but was not a serious wreck as it well could have been.i put my car in park and started it and took the next exit and reported the accident to the police.when i got home i looked up recalls for my jeep and found the v8 engine had a recall on the front control module since the car would stall on the highway.my car is a v6.i took it to the dealership and they could not find anything wrong.i called jeep and they said i should take it to another dealership 50 miles away to "see another doctor to find the problem" in the meantime i have to fix the damage from the rear end collision and thank my luck stars i am still alive to fix it.your campaign number for the recall i referred to is: 08v059000.
I won a 2006 jeep commander and had some major problems,most notiably transmission failures andstalling while driving.the problem had picked up.jeep denied there wasa problem., but the dealership staff wasseeing this alot.last week i was driving with my family on a winding road in the mountains with a boat in tow and the vehicle stalled. Thankfully, i was able to pull to the side and not go over the edge.then, today it happened again in traffic at 40 mph.i had to put in neutral while driving and restart.please do something.

I bought my 2006 jeep commander in 2006 as a demo with 18,000 miles on it. I really didn't drive it that much as you can tell by the mileage on it and it has only had three oil changes.when it reached about 20,000 miles it stalled on my way to work and i called and spoke to a tech where i bought the car, he told me that i had probably gotten some bad gas.then two weeks ago it stalled again and the engine light came on for a day, then it went out.it came on again and stayed on and it continued to stay on, and "service park assist" displayed on the dash.the dealer where we bought the car is 20 miles from where we live so i made an appointment with a dodge dealer about 3 miles from my home.on monday july 7th when driving there for the appointment, i was making a left hand turn and it shut down, no brakes, no steering, no lights on the dash, nothing.i got to the side of the road and it re-started after 3 tries.i made it to the dealer and they called my today and said it was ready and they had to install a tcm module.i went to pick it up, and on the way home, it did the same thing again, the only thing it didn't do was display the engine light, but the stalling and the "service park assist" came back on.i took it back to them and they hooked it back up to the computer and told me i needed to find a way home and they would call me tomorrow.they didn't know what was wrong with it yet.
Additional problems reference odi complaint #10244597.received car back from dealership ran fine for two weeks.the car is now stalling on the highway at 40 mph near our home.thank god i was able to get the car to the side of the road. Then the park assist service light came on and went off again.i got the car home.my husband took it out.the transmission was slipping and not shifting into higher gear.today taking the kids to the bus it stalled again.when i was able to restart, i put my foot on the gas and the car hesitate, almost causing an accident.i have pretty much decided on voluntary repossession, as my kids are worth more than the deficient balance.

November 24 evening leaving fuji (children in car)november 30 morning on way to work ? hit mailbox (baby in car)december 5 morning on way to work ? dies turning out of subdivision and stalls in middle of street (baby in car) there was one other instance when i had all kids with me?it was prior to nov 24 but i do not recall the actual dateall of the instances the engine stalled, the lights (when on) went out, i lost the ability to steer and brake as well.the mph ranged from 4 or 5 mph to 35 mph.there were times when it was warm and days that it was cold.nothing seemed to standout as a possible "trigger"i took car to dealer after the november 24th incident.tony in the service department said there was really nothing that they could do unless it was a problem they could "make happen" when they drove it.a few days later i wrecked into a mailbox when my jeep stalled and i lost steering and braking capability....i am lucky it was not head on with a large truck or a tree.
I bought the 2006 commander used in august of 2007 with 13,000 miles on it.it ran great, no complaints.in the winter-time, i noticed when i started it after it had been sitting for several hours, then put it in gear, stepping on the gas pedal would do nothing but rev the engine.a few seconds later it would kick into gear and go.i contacted the dealership who said it just needs time to warm up, it's winter and the car is cold.when spring rolled around this was still occurring.one day i was traveling down a hill, heard a big clunk and then the gear shift would only register 3, 4 and 5.no 1 or 2.i brought it in and they replaced the solenoid.the problem didn't come back right away but came back eventually.i've had the problem ever since december of 2007 and on monday i'm taking it in for the 4th time to drive with yet another technician so they can guess at what the problem may be.problem is, i'm at 35,400 miles.once i hit 36k i'm sure they'll discover the problem and then i'll have to pay for it.
Have a 2006 jeep commander.lights have been flickering and car has not wanted to start.found that battery was not holding charge and replaced.now we drive at speed and the engine begins to race while not increasing speed.have taken to dealer in cincinnati,northgate and they reset computer but before we could leave the bay area it started making a grinding noise and the check engine light is back on.they say the are going to have the transmission guy look at it and get back to us.i read hundreds of complaints on your site and the majority of them are describing problems that are very similar over the last 3 years.don't you have enough complaints on this that chrysler should be doing a recall?after all the government is now deeply invested in chrysler.

You can put it in park and it will start again.this has happened on several occasions, i have had it in the shop on numerous occasions, always with the report of nothing is showing on the computer report.i have spent over $1000 on various fuel systems services, tune ups, etc which they say may be the problem, but it is still stalling.dealer says that the problem can't be replicated.with all these reports, and the obvious danger of an unexpected stall this is life threatening and needs to be recalled.

Bought vehicle 3/31/06 new now has 60,000 miles. The vehicle has had numerous instances with stalling while driving. All the instrument panel lights will light up and headlights will switch on/off to high beams on their own. Will lose powersteering and there seems to be a change in acceleration. On march 20th i was traveling at approx 30 miles per hour and lost power but the instrument panel lights did not go off as usual. I pulled off the road and parked vehicle. Had my step-father come to assist and he stated there car didn't seem to want to go gear properly, assumed this was due to the prior "electrical" problems and drove commander to dealership approx. 1 mile away. Was told there was a plug in the transmission leaking where the electrical wires enter, cost to repair $430. After completing those repairs was told the transmission is destroyed and needs replaced at $3500. Chrysler is not offering any assistance to an obvious manufacturer issue. Stated i knowingly drove a vehicle with low transmission fluid and am negligent.
From new, i have noted an issue with the transmission of my commander when stopped on an incline.the vehicle drifts backward unless you apply the brake.several times i have left it drift a foot or so to see if it would stop drifting, but it was usually not safe to let it continue.obviously applying the brake is the normal thing you would do when stopped at a stop sign or traffic light anyway, so i didn't consider it a real problem. I reported it to my dealership, and they checked the tcm for any errors or problems, claiming they found none. I asked if they could please check it again, test drive it, etc., and they reported that after further investigation into service bulletins or issues they saw a recommendation based on a number they found on the transmission or tcm that a "flash" of the tcm should be performed. They report that this was done. Today, upon receiving the vehicle back from the dealership, i tested the vehicle to see if this condition had been fixed. Today i found a safe location to test, and this time i let the vehicle continue to drift backward. To my surprise, it continued to drift for about 15 feet, and the vehicle actually stalled. I did this twice with the same results. I have not had any incidents or accidents related to this issue, but i do feel that it is not correct behavior and believe it should be investigated.i cannot really even think of any situations where this would cause an accident unless there was a brake failure or something, or if the vehicle couldn't be restarted after a stall.i am just reporting this very odd behavior for an automatic transmission.i can re-create this problem at any time.
I purchased my 2006 jeep commander 3.7 4x4 in 2007 as a demo.

I've talked with chrysler asking why i should have to pay for a part that is malfunctioning in a unsafe manner and was told it hasn't been recalled yet.

Engine malfunction indicator light comes on for several cycles, computer reboots itself and then the trouble starts again shortly after.this appears to be an ongoing issue with the 06 commander but my vin was not included in the ecm/pcm recall (08v203000) because i have the 6-cylinder rather than the 8 cylinder engine. This is a safety hazard while driving and i just feel fortunate that as of yet, my car is not stalling like so many others. However, i feel my issue is related to this same recall and want to have it on file.

Many times when making a left turn into traffic or a u-turn the vehicle with shut down and lose all power for 1-2 seconds. You can put your foot to the floor and the jeep moves just enough to get you into and intersection then loses power. Instinct is to push the throttle all the way to avoid an accident, but then after a few seconds all the power comes back and the vehicle leaps at full throttle almost sending you into a spin. This as happened numerous times, but the dealer has no fix.

While driving on the highway, a plastic bag, (in example, like one from walmart or winn dixie) wrapped around the rear axle and broke the pinion seal and fluid leaked out causing internal damage to the rear differential. This resulted in replacing the rear end. This vehicle had less than one thousand miles at the time of this incident. Chrysler/ daimler refused to cover this under warranty and therefore filed the repair cost with my auto insurance. How can a 3 cent plastic bag cause so much damage to a fifty thousand dollar suv? this suv is advertised as "trail rated" , what about "street rated"?

The seat belt on the third row right side seat is completely stuck tight against the seat.this has to be a defect because we rarely use the third row seats on my vehicle.worst part is that i have small children that could have been hurt very badly because of the seat belt.furthermore, the seat belts on the second row seats are completely falling apart because of the low quality plastics being used by jeep.one seat belt on the second row has become completely useless because it just wont click in anymore.i have 2 other vehicles (2006 ford f150, 2005 ford focus) with which i have no trouble with the seat belts at all.in fact, the seat belts on my two other vehicles look as good as new and my children ride in them just as much as they ride my 2006 jeep commander.i have contacted chrysler and my local dealership to no avail.i notified both about the danger of my 5 and 9 year old children riding in the vehicle but have gotten no positive responses.i am writing to this government agency before i go spend hundreds of dollars to get the seat belts fixed.please respond back.
4 out of 7 seat belts will not click in. One of those that won't click in can sometimes go in but then if pulled will come out.
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.
I am 5 months pregnant and my driver's side seat belt will not click into the latch easily.i have to literally bang it to get the latch to catch.i am concerned about the safety and intergity of belt especially if in a crash-will it come unlatch?plus, being midway through my pregnancy i am concerned about the other seat belts in the car, especially the one i will be using to carry my child in. I was concerned about a safe car seat now i must be concerned about the seat belt as well!!!my vehicles seat belt warning system will not alert to unclicked belt.it assumes that the belt is latched in place.
My daughters were in the 3rd row seating when they went to buckle their seatbelts and they would not click in. They were both broken and would not stay attached. The plastic casing is falling off of them and they are not safe. The 3rd row right seat would not fold down. The latch that should be pulled would not engage and now the seat will not fold down. Lastly, the drivers side interior door handle crumbled inward and is not able to be used to open the door. I took my car to the dealer and they stated that it was my problem as it is not covered under the extended care warranty i purchased for $2500 and i would have to pay $700 for the door handle and $300 for seat belts and $100 for the seat to fold. I explained that the above was all safety issues and should be fixed by manufacturers and they said that it wasn't covered. I even told them that i saw the recalls and they told me that it wasn't for my jeep. This needs to be fixed by the manufacturer and considered a recall.
When moving at a speed of greater than 3mph, the passengers seat seatbelt sensors indicates the passenger is not wearing a seat belt and sings constantly. The system does not register that the seatbelt is engaged.
The 2nd row seat belts are unable to latch properly. Now 4 seat belts in jeep do not latch properly. This is a major safety hazard and should have a recall. All auto companies should back their product and repair seat belts. Not to mention several of the interior door handles have busted out.
Front driver and passenger seat belts can only be buckled if the release button is depressed.seat belt warning light is on.
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.
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!
Recall notice from chrysler.took commander into shop for repair.after 4 hours, technician stated that unable to download program from corporate computer to fix.need to bring car back later. This is the second time for a recall, and our car has been in there a total of 4 times for safety issues such as broken seat belts.it has been there a number of other visits, starting at 2555 miles, for defective windshield mount, defective gas fill line mount, and defective windshield wiper fluid pump.previous hazards were handled, but resulted in a good number of days of at least 6 hour services.now, after 4 hours, this service is not completed and i have to bring the car back again.
First the seat belt wouldn't click into place without pressing down the red button.now even if you do that the seat belt light/dings will be on throughout the ride.i see on the internet many others having this issue.
The door handles have completely disentegrated an the windows no longer operate. The seat belts work intermittently and the door locks unlock an lock at random. The engine starts an stops on it's own. This vehicle was my dream vehicle but now i feel totally endangered by the lack of care and design by jeep. I feel it is a ticking time bomb ready to cause danger at some point to me or my family

To whom this may concern, i called back in late 2014 about a problem i was having, i was told that when the part was made i would receive a call to bring my car in to be fixed. Well it keeps on happening again in january and now more then three time in february. I am now going to be incontact with a lawyer and together we will be documenting everything. I am a family of five and my car is not safe. Your company is giving me the run around and it is your responsibility. These things that are happening with my car is filed from the national highway traffic safety administration with recall report electrical system, electrical system: ignition: switch and rear seat belts. My car keeps on shutting off. I have had myself and my children in the car when this has happened. I saved us too many times. There has been timeswhen my car shut down and i lost breaks and steering. There was multi times when i am driving and all of my lights start going crazy. Now i have a problem that i tried starting my car and the lights go on but my ignition will not turn on the car. Another phone call was made to the corporate office and the dealership to complain again. We where told that theyare still waiting for the parts to come in they are on back order. Every day i have to drive this car with and without my childrenwe are at risk. Your responsible, i have had two otherjeeps and lovedthem never had a problem like this before. So i don't know what else to do i need to work and transport my children toand fromdifferent school/sports activities. If something happens to me or my family it will lie on you and your company. Enough is enough i am scared for my life and my children please help me!!!!!
The driver side seat belt buckle stopped functioning properly over a couple of weeks. It was hard to engage the belt then it stopped recognizing the belt was buckled and the warning continually came on. Passenger side is now doing same. I had driver's buckle replaced at a whopping cost of approx. $400.

My 2006 jeep commander driver side seat belt wont latch.i have to hold down the red release button to force it to engage.seven days later the passenger seat belt wouldn't latch.this time even if i force the latch to engage by holding down the red release tab, it does not turn off the seat belt warning alarm.this most certainly is a recall item and so many of us are having the same problem at the same time.i am going to report also to daimler/chrysler.
My jeep commander driver and passenger seat beltsdo 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 chryslerat 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.
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 button, then to unlock the seat belt you also have to press the red button.now in addition, the passenger seat belt when locked into place - the alarm goes off as if the seat belt is not engaged and the dash light also is lit up.sometimes with multiple lock/unlock attempts the alarm may go off.often it chimes relentlessly even when seat belt is engaged.chrysler customer care will not fully replace the defective seat belts even though it is a safety hazard.
I was 270 miles away from home when the passenger side seatbelt would not lock. I brought it into the local jeep dealership to inquire if there was some easy fix or if they had a part on hand. They informed me that they could in fact have the part the following day. I had to return to work the next day so that was not going to be an option. The part i was told would be a little over $300 for parts and labor. After some research i discovered that this seems to be a problem with my year of vehicle. My passenger had to ride the way home in the back seat. Not exactly ideal. Considering the fact that the seatbelt is quite possibly the most effective safety device of any vehicle i can not imagine jeep not putting out a recall for the safety of its consumers. I understand the concept of warranty on a vehicles engine, but a seatbelt is not something i would think needs replacement. Not everyone has money to pay for this fix, nor should they be asked to pay for this serious defect that could be the difference between life and death. I love my vehicle i just expect more concern from the company that made it.

Passenger side seatbelt is shorter than driver side. Passenger seatbelt is always tight on the average size person.
The 2nd row seat belt buckle moves up so there for the seat belt wont latch enless you move plastic covering down also the jeep shifts hard when put in reverse or drive
Vehicle was sold with no lights in back, including break and reverse lights, broken seat belts in back seats and one back seat that does not fold down which blocks rear view, and finally with bald tires that needed to be replaced immediately.the lights were supposedly fixed by the dealership's repair shop but after only a few weeks the lights were not working.the seat belts were supposed to be replaced and we were told that replacements were ordered but the dealership never called back to confirm that they arrived and ready for installation, they still have not been replaced.we were told that the tires and seat folding down were not safety issues and had to replace the tires ourselves.the seat still does not fold down and the lights on the back of the vehicle still don't stay on.

While raining water drains into vehicle from sunroof causing electrical problems. Lights constantly flickering, dashboard lights constantly turning on and off, interior water damage, rusting inside components. This incident happens constantly forcing me to keep headlights on high beam at all times while the car is stationary as well as in motion on streets as well as highways. This problem causes unnecessary problems being that while the car is going through this the turning signals, wiper blades, air conditioning turn off and on. Even though my car was serviced under warranty for rear seatbelts the belts are constantly jamming keeping my children captive and at some points it will not successfully latch.
I have to hold the red latch in order to buckle and the seat belt light constantlychimes while driving.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. The contact stated that the rear seat belts had been cut and destroyed by the rear retractable seat. The contact referenced nhtsa campaign id number: 06v037000 (seat belts:rear) but was advised by the manufacturer that the vehicle was not included because it was not built at a plant affected by the recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The vin was not available. The current mileage was 78,463 and the failure mileage was unknown.
Both front seat belts do not operate as expected.in order to use them, one must depress the red unlatch button in order to insert metal buckles into the latches.i am writing to report the seat belt operational hazard as it appears from some research that this is a common problem on this model and similar year range jeep grand cherokee models.

The third row seat, seatbelt broke, where the belt plugs in at the bottom of the seat. It snapped of while my four year old tried to buckle up a week or so ago. This was such a potentially dangerous problem. What would have happened if it snapped while in a vehicle accident? my boy would have probably been killed. While looking online i found multiple recalls on the vehicle, one being the exact same seatbelts. I called barnett chrysler jeep dodge ram kia in maplewood, mn, who said they would help me out with one recall, but said the seatbelt issue didn?t relate to my vin. I was basically told that i was responsible to foot the bill for their faulty product.does this sound right? is there some type of moral obligation or law that helps us out from being screwed over in this sense? please get back, were taking the vehicle in tomorrow. We rely on this vehicle, there are six people in our family (four young children) and this is our family vehicle.

Second roll seatbelt plastic red casing around the release button broke first on passenger side replaced that one then on drivers side this caused seatbelts to unbuckle easily with a slight tug of belt very dangerous with small children.
We were driving along and started breaking to prepare to stop, when my 9 year old son, who was seated in the third row passenger seat, says "mom, my seat belt just broke." i turn to see what he was talking about and he handed me the whole buckle, the part that the seat belt clicks into. I was horrified. Luckily we hadn't been in an accident or even stopped fast. I call the manufacturer to see what we needed to do. They told me my vehicle wasn't under warranty and they wasn't any recalls for that issue. They stated i needed to take it to a dealer to see if there was a defect. So, i did and they just told me i need to replace the part and it would cost over $300, which i don't have to spare. I ask why i would have to pay when it was clearly a defect and it's law that to have working seat belts, he said chrysler would not pay for it. The metal piece that holds it to the car or to some other piece was severed. I believe it is from the folding system. Obviously there is a problem has i have seen other complaints, none as severe as mine, and a recall that was similar to my issue. Something needs to be done and the manufacturer needs to be held accountable.
3rd row seatbelt, passenger side, will not come out and cannot be used.2nd row seatbelts have deteriorated to needing replacement.
Vehicle is having issues getting stuck in gear and not shifting unless you stop, turn off, and when turned back on will work for a while and then happen again. 3rd row seat belt doesnt work.
2006 jeep commander 4x4 trail rated.
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.the seat belts were not abused & were barely used & not can not be used at all.i am trying to get ahold of daimler chrysler to get this safety issue fixed but so far have not gotten anywhere.bottom line this is a safety issue and manufacture defect with the seat belts.
2006 4.7 v8 jeep commander has had multiple problems, the most severe being 3 (out of 7) inoperable seatbelts and sporadic stalling of the vehicle. The first 8 - 10 times the vehicle stalled (went dead), i was at a stopped position attempting to accelerate. The most recent incident happened as i was driving in traffic. I lost all power steering and brakes when the vehicle died. I was going up a slight incline which assisted me in stopping and i put the vehicle in neutral and restarted. I have refused to drive the vehicle since that time out of safety concerns for my children and for others on the road. The dealership has attempted to correct the problem on 4 occasions - nothing has worked. The chrysler corporation refuses to buy-back the vehicle because the dealership has not duplicated the problem in the shop. I have witnesses to the occurrences and have documented each time it has happened.
Rear seatbelt latches are breaking, and susceptible to breakage.the orange release button on the seatbelts break easily.my concern is that it will happen when there's an emergency and the occupant may not be able to exit the vehicle due to the defective material in the latch release, possibly trapping the occupant.i suspect that the material used for these plastic release latches was incorrectly specified, and became brittle over time.
My 2006 jeep commander (4.7 liter) constantly stalls and hesitates and the dealer keeps telling me they can't find anything wrong but there are hundreds of complaints online about the same thing and i want to know why this has not been recalled. Also the third row seat belts seem to have a problem.
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.

I had a warranty on my jeep and called in about my seats belt in 2008, told the company my rear seatbelts were falling apart and not able to click into place, as well as my 2nd row seat belts the plastic around them are falling off and the belts are not locking. The daimler chrysler warranty company told meit was not covered under any recall, but this would be a defect in the seat belts not locking into belts clasps and not plastic is coming off, and my kids are coming out of the seatbelts, almost ending up in a wreck back in 2007, rep from warranty said there was nothing that could be done i would have to pay for seatbelts to be looked at. I am unable to securely put my kids in the back seats now. I am researching recalls now and seen i can make a formal complaint.
I purchased my jeep commander on february 12, 2014. A week after i purchased it my check light came on so i took it back to the dealership. It was for my catalytic converter. The people in the garage stated it was just a sensor and not to worry about it i told them to fix it while it was still covered under my warranty. They wouldn't. The next day all of the dome lights and dashboard lights in my truck started flickering while driving down the road. (still does it to this day). Soon after my brakes went out on me while driving down the road with my kids so i had to get the calipers and everything changed. Next it was the windows they all stopped working. The end of january 2015, while driving down the road again with my children, all of the lug nuts and bolts fell off of my tire rear passenger side tire. I ended up calling the tow truck and took it back to the dealership where i bought it. $2500 and two weeks later i get my truck back, have it for a day & it starts jerking on my way to work. They fixed everything that had to do with my tires and suspension. They also inform me i need my catalytic converter changed after they told me not to worry about it it's just the sensor acting funny. (it could've been fixed when i asked them to do it while it was covered under my warranty) now my lights start flashing my wheel speed sensors aren't working and is messing with my abs system and traction. They just tell me to shut the traction off while i'm driving it should fix the problem. I end up taking it back in the shop. A month later i'm driving home from work and my serpentine belt busts and i lose control of my truck. Another $500 dollar job. Present day, my truck is back in the shop for a routine brakes and rotors fix and they call and say i need my outer tirods fixed and rear axle something. I've put more money into this truck than i've paid for it in the past year.
My eight year-old daughter was sitting in the third-row seat on the passenger side as we drove down the freeway. She leaned forward in her seat and the metal part of the seat belt retractor completely broke off above the bolt and below the buckle. This car was involved in a minor fender-bender two years ago (with no one sitting in that seat),but is otherwise accident-free. As a mother of four small children, this malfunction is of extreme concern. I do my best to comply with all the car seat laws, but what does it matter if the seat belts themselves fail?
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. The contact stated that the front driver and passenger side seat belts failed to latch correctly. The contact stated that the seat belt warning indicator illuminated and an audible indicator was heard while driving. The vehicle was taken to the jeep store (810 nj-35, ocean township, nj 07712 (732) 774-6500) where it was diagnosed with a seat belt assembly failure that needed replacement. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to nhtsa. The contact googled the failure and found many complaints for the seat belt failure. The failure mileage was approximately 205,000.

Electrical dash board blinks while driving, driver's seat moves while driving, when it rains the driver's floor is soaked with water and passenger side floor is wet as well, vehicle jerks while driving. Indication lights pops on dashboard sporadically, radio and navigation doesn't work.
My daughters were in the 3rd row seating when they went to buckle their seatbelts and they would not click in. They were both broken and would not stay attached. The plastic casing is falling off of them and they are not safe. The 3rd row right seat would not fold down. The latch that should be pulled would not engage and now the seat will not fold down. Lastly, the drivers side interior door handle crumbled inward and is not able to be used to open the door. I took my car to the dealer and they stated that it was my problem as it is not covered under the extended care warranty i purchased for $2500 and i would have to pay $700 for the door handle and $300 for seat belts and $100 for the seat to fold. I explained that the above was all safety issues and should be fixed by manufacturers and they said that it wasn't covered. I even told them that i saw the recalls and they told me that it wasn't for my jeep. This needs to be fixed by the manufacturer and considered a recall.
Dt*:the contact stated there was rust on the base of the front seat.the vehicle was taken to the dealer who declared all jeep commanders rust in that manner and did not provide any solution to correct the problem. The manufacturer was contacted and no solution was provided. The weatherstrip on the right rear door did not fit properly and the trim around the radio did not fit as well.updated 08/21/06.
Seat belt warning chime continually sounds when front driver or passenger seat belts are latched, the seats are occupied, and the vehicle is in motion.
When attempting to move my child's car seat to the 2nd row driver side outboard, the car seat is unable to be installed properly.our britax marathon car seat cannot be moved from the center position to an outboard position because the head rests on the 2nd row seat tilt forward and cannot be removed.with two children in the car i will be forced to move my older child to a less stable and less safe backless booster seat, so that i can put my second child in the infant seat in the center position. Had i known this at the time of purchase i would not have purchased this vehicle. Jeep has had many complaints but does not offer a solution or seem to care about child safety.manually removing the head rest by disassembling the seat may leave 8" posts exposed, also not safe for children.
Seatbelts do not latch properly and become undone while tightening. They also become stuck.this could pose a serious problem in the event of an accident.
Vehicle was sold with no lights in back, including break and reverse lights, broken seat belts in back seats and one back seat that does not fold down which blocks rear view, and finally with bald tires that needed to be replaced immediately.the lights were supposedly fixed by the dealership's repair shop but after only a few weeks the lights were not working.the seat belts were supposed to be replaced and we were told that replacements were ordered but the dealership never called back to confirm that they arrived and ready for installation, they still have not been replaced.we were told that the tires and seat folding down were not safety issues and had to replace the tires ourselves.the seat still does not fold down and the lights on the back of the vehicle still don't stay on.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. While driving 55-60 mph, the rear seat spontaneously caught on fire. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The contact extinguished the fire.

All the lights on my dash panel went on & i lost power of the vehicle driving down the road. It came back on then off & on. This has happened several times. My catalytic converter has broken into a few pieces. The dealership said this happens often to these vehicles & believes there is a recall on them. I have had my vehicle4 1/2 yrs & this is the 2nd time it needs to be replaced. My struts have gone a few times on my 2006 jeep commander. The rear seatbelt in the middle & driver rear don't latch & when they do its really tight on my daughter. Lastly multiple issues with the rear doors both passenger & driver sides. The handles don't work all the time. They have both been fixed 3 different occasions. They open when they feel like it. The child lock is not on.
Leaking coolant- water pump in 2006 commander needed to be replaced at 38,000 miles. I have also had problems with the fabric seats staining.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. When she attempted to install the safety seat in the forward facing position ,she noticed that the vehicles rear seats head rest tilted forward;which does not allow the safety seat to rest against the seats back .she could not remove the head rests or push them backward; therefore the safety seat could tilt over if there was an accident. She contacted the manufacturer. A representative stated that this was how the seats head rest was designed and that there was nothing they could do to assist with the installation of her safety seat. She was advised tofile a complaint with nhtsa. The safety seat was a como manufactured by recaro she did not have the model number. The current and the failure mileages were 65,000.updated 02/17/10
I recently purchased a 2006 jeep commander and after bringing it home, i came across a design flaw that has become a fairly huge problem for my family.it seems as if the head rests on the second row seats cannot be removed.this poses a big problem for my four-year-old daughter who must use a booster seat.in order for this booster seat (or any booster seat, for that matter) to lay flat against the back of the car seat, the head rest must be removed.frankly, in every one of my previous vehicles, a head rest could be selectively removed by pressing a button at the top of the seat and sliding the head rest up and out.the commander head rests seem to be fixed in place.they just seem to move forward when you flip the seat down to access the third row.to make matters worse, they are fixed in a slightly forward position, which forces the booster seat to pitch forward.i can correct that slightly by reclining the seat back, but, in the commander, the second row seat onlyslightly reclines.in any case, the booster can't be installed properly (or safely, according to the manual) because it can't rest against the back of the seat due to the head rest, which pushed the top of the booster seat forward.after complaining to daimler-chrysler, i received an email saying the indeed the head rest cannot be removed or adjusted.they offered no fix for this issue.

My beloved jeep commander suddenly shut off while driving at 40mph.with no prior problems or warning signs the engine completely stalled- instantly i lost both power steering & brakes. Needless to say i was terrified. After much confusion & hassle i was told to replace my key. (reason being the 'chip' inside was malfunctioning.) i replaced the $270 key which solved nothing. To my surprise, many commander owners experience this same problem with no help from jeep. Not only do jeep dealerships ignore the potential recall warning on the commander, but they actually recommend expensive 'solutions' that do not even touch the known problem. It seems as though there are no solutions for this faulty system, given that no dealership can successfully stop the shutting off. There are way too many owners experiencing the same dangerous stall. I cannot in good conscience ignore the fact that this problem goes beyond inconvenience; this is potentially very dangerous and the jeep commander needs to be recalled.
My wife reported a strange thumping sound from under the car.she said it began after dropping children at school and going over a speed bump at the school.something she does every day.upon inspection i found the driver side emergency brake cable was interfering with the rear universal joint on the driveshaft.the cable was kinked and being cut by the rotation of the driveshaft. There was also abrasion of the gas tank splash guard.i have no doubt if this happened at highway speed the cable would be cut in half and possibly wrap around the driveshaft causing the driver side emergency brake to apply and lock-up the wheelresultingin a rollover. The gas tank could also have been punctured if the cable was pulled by the driveshaft.somehow the normal action of the vehicles suspension was able to place this cable in contact with the driveshaft.the rotation of the universal joint caught the cable pulling it into the rotating shaft.i consider this a class 1 defect thatshould be corrected with a model recall.normally the emergency brake cable is routed off to the side and not directly over the differential. What were they thinking?chrysler needs to devise a supplemental attaching point that will ensure the cables are not able to contact the driveshaft even under extreme off road driving.i have a full set of photos available upon request.i have ordered a new cable but the part number is on back order.this indicates there is a problem when the part cannot be stocked due to high demand.this cable should last the life of the vehicle without question.nhtsa is there for the public.it exists on public taxes.it is not there to shield corporate mistakes and short cuts.i feel that nhtsa is not operating within the public trust if itallows defects to be ignored.
Jeep commander 2006 completely shut down, steering locked up and the brakes locked up, while going in motion.could have been in a fatal accident.happened several times before reaching destination.dealer stated that the control module needed to be replaced.
My vehicle constantly stalls while slowing down to almost a stop or a stops.it happens almost every time now.when slowing down for a light while traffic is slowly moving my jeep stalls and i've almost been hit 5 times now.not good.
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.

Driving to work at an intersection. In the midst of turning left on to the road to my work parking lot... My car stalled on me.again, i was in an intersection with on coming traffic. No lights came on (warning lites) no weird sounds , no jerking - just stalled. Started back up once i turned the key off and then on again.
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.

Braking to approach a red light at an intersection the brakes felt mushy followed by complete loss of power. I was stopped in the inside lane of a 4-lane hwy at an intersection without power!.after a moment of panic....thank heavens no oncoming traffic behind me....i put the car into park and restarted the engine.i traveled two blocks to where i could safely exit the hwy and park.after a few minutes while i calmed down i proceeded to drive the vehicle to my home.since that time i have tried to get the vehicle in for a check but cannot get an appointment until august. It has been a few days and i have no choice but to use the vehicle.i have noted some missing and hesitating from time to time but not complete failure.however, i would not take this vehicle on an open hwy as it is performing right now.

When i am driving on the main city road or highway i notice about three things that happen all at once. The first thing is i lose control of my steering. The second thing is it feels like my jeep went into park causing all my wheels to break for 1 to 3 second. The third thing is it feels as the engine stalled. All these things happen at the same time. This causes my jeep to stop or stall on the road sending me and my passengers to lounge forward as if i had hit an invisible wall at full force.
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.

My jeep commander turned off, causing my brakes to fail along with steering and airbags to fail. I crashed into the back of someone towing a pontoon boat. The total cost of damage was over $7,000. My insurance had to cover it. This is because of the recall p41. I have called and complained several times about my dash lights flickering, and my jeep turning itself off. I was without my vehicle for 3 weeks while it was being repaired. Chrysler needs to get this issue figured out! this could have been a much worse accident had i been on the interstate.

I can put the jeep in park and restart it, but today was a close call! i drive my children in this vehicle!!! we have no other vehicle that i can use! i cannot responsibly sell this vehicle, i would feel horrible if something happened to another family!!! this agency is set up to maintain the safety of the consumer, please, please help us who are driving this extremely dangerous vehicle! i am copying this and sending it to whatever media outlet will listen!!!
Driving north from detroit with my uncle,passing a semi on i 75 at about 70-75. The engine just quit,likesome turned the key off. Got to the side of the road,put vec. In park started back up drove home. Took jeep to al serra,s the 29 th got it back 6/2/14 found no reason why it shut down. June 15 th when driving on bristol road at 45 mph it quit again,took it back to al serra,s 2days later got it back,still couldn't find cause.
While driving and turning a left corner resulted in loss of engine power, power steering, and braking.this has happened on several occasions and we have stopped driving the family vehicle due to this safety issue which is not deemed safe to drive especially up and down hills....we had to purchase another vehicle since the recall fix is still not available and won't be for over 1 year!
2006 jeep commander with 93000. I have had serviced multiple times over brakes and suspension. Brakes will just grind when trying to stop at times. Brakes have been replaced and problem still occurs. Every mechanic has said everything looks good. Had bigotires do 3 inspections on brakes and suspension and everything checked out! suspension- i have had services 3 times. All new parts have been put on front drivers side yet problem still persist. Popping noise and squeaking when turning and hitting speed bumps or pot holes and very noisy when backing up. Lighting has also started to go off and on! i believe something is wrong with the lighting. Sometimes when i turn them on they do not come on and once i turned them off and they did not turn off and made battery go dead but once jumps they were back to normal except my back tail light which i have tried having replaced multiple times does not work anymore and front passenger side head light has some major issues! also it is very hard to see when it rains even with brand new wipers there just wasn't much thought put into the commanders! too many blind spots and also door handles on the inside easily break off!
In september of 2014 i recently bought a 2006 jeep commander. A few weeks after purchasing the vehicle i noticed the car was shutting off when i was at stop signs, red lights, and most seriously when i was driving. I was not sure as to why my car was doing this. I tried everything from a new battery and countless appointments at my mechanic. I was not informed of any type of recall on my car, until i did my own personal research. In may of 2015 i took my car to a chrysler, dodge, jeep and ram dealership to find out when i could order the part for the p-41 recall on my car. I was informed that the part was not available in the country and they were not sure of when it would arrive. I was told the car was "safe" to drive. I was given a few tips: sit far enough away from the steering wheel so my knees were not close to the key, have the car key only on a ring by itself, always wear my seat belt, and avoid having a front passenger. It was only a matter of 4 weeks until i was experiencing the issue again. I was driving on the highway with my boyfriend and one year old daughter going about 65mph when my car completely shut off, i lost power steering, brakes, and every single light turned on. I had to resort to pulling the e-brake which did not help slow my car down. This was the most serious and dangerous incident, luckily we did not get hurt, or hurt anyone else. As a result, i took my car to another jeep dealership and was advised the same information that the part was not able to be ordered and given the same tips. I requested a rental for the safety of myself and my daughter. It took me 2 weeks to finally receive a rental. I have had a rental for almost two weeks now and was told by the dealership, by pulling the e-brake it was going to cost me $1600 to fix. I do not feel as if i am responsible for the cost of the repair, considering this was caused by the p-41 recall.
Just dropped my children off - on my way to work again - going approx 40-45 mph..... All of a sudden i feel a slight jerk and my car completely shuts off. (key still in on position-so no, my knee did not hit the keys)brakes - electrical - engine - all went out. I coasted to the side of the road. Waited about 10 mins after speaking with my husband - started it back up engine light was on.... I p laced my hazards on and proceeded to continue down the road- at this pointi am approx 15-20 miles from work.
I was driving down the hwy and my vehicle turned off. I lost power steering breaks and was not able to properly maintain control of my vehicle in order to avoid an accident. This had happened twice before this time, and i looked to see that there was a recall on my jeep for an ingition switch and the the exact discription of what would happen if my car was effected fit my situation. I then called jeep and advised them of this and they said i neeeded to have it diagnoised by a jeep dealership. I had the vehicle towed at my expensense and rented a car at my expense. The dealership confirmed my assumption and in fact the issue i was experiencing is part of the recall. Jeep now tells me they don't have the parts and they have not made a decision on whether it's neccessary to provide a replacement vehicle until they have a resolve. Am i supposed to be without a vehicle or potentially drive mine with 3 children, and potentially loose power again causing a loss of control? what i am supposed to do from here?

I received a safety recall notice from chrysler for my jeep commander stating that i may experience an unintended change in ignition switch position while driving, which could result in loss of engine power, power steering, and braking, and increases my risk of a crash. I have called chrysler group recall center 1-800-853-1403, option 6 countless times, unfortunately many times having to hang up after waiting 25 minutes to get through. I have also repeatedly called beyer/jeep/chrysler 973-644-3200 and they have been very short with me and tell me the same thing every time i call- they have no date of when the part will be in. When i drive on the highway, i am terrified of losing control of my car. I have seen on the news people that have been in accidents because of this ignition switch and heard that chrysler has a buyout program. I am interested in finding out about this program because i think that waiting over a year, and with no resolution in sight, is a bit ridiculous and i dont want to become a statistic. Please advice me as to what my next step should be.
In march of 2012, i was driving my 2006 jeep commander v8 on a two lane highway.at the time of the accident, i had been decreasing speed, when the truck in front of me suddenly slammed on his brakes. However, when ipressed down hard on my brakes, my brakes/anti-lock brakes completely failed, causing me to crash into the truck in front of me. While trying to brake, my car stalled and continued to propel forward, causing a lack of steering capability, inevitably causing a crash, in which my air bags did not deploy. After the police arrived, i was able to start the car and barely made it home, having to push it several blocks. My suv went into the shop for almost one month. After my suv was fixed, including exterior and radiator, the suv continued to overheat without cause and it was now considered a total loss. I was not prepared for my vehicle to be considered a total loss as the issues appeared to be minor. I endured major hardship as a result on this accident, including lack of work and occurred at an inopportune time for me to buy a new vehicle, resulting in a high interest rate and skyrocketing insurance, since i was considered at fault, despite lack of being cited due to vehicle issues. After 2 yrs, i finally was able to refinance my car; however, my insurance will remain high til feb 2015 @$314 (35 mos). I did not realize why the vehicle's braking and stalling occurred as i was not made aware of the recall until july 2014! if recalls occurred in 07-09, why was i not informed prior to this accident? this accident could have been prevented! when i called to speak to chrysler, they said that there was nothing that they could do because the car was scrapped. I do not understand why some people can be compensated for issues, but i am disregarded despite the ongoing hardship caused by a defect caused by chrysler! is there anyone out there that can help!?

The vehicle randomly shuts off.the dash gauges flicker and/or go off for a brief time.if breaks are engaged at that time, abs stops.if headlights are on auto, they turn off.if turning a hard left or right (such as turning into a driveway, turning on to a street, parking) power steering stops working. If the lights are on but not on auto the lights stay on.the radio stays on.these symptoms would indicate that there is a problem with the ignition switch.when this issue occurs, it seems to stop by pushing on the key.this has happened multiple times.after visiting this page, a log will be created to record date, time, and speed. This is a huge safety issue.after much research many users of internet forums for jeeps, complain about this issue (reference urls can be provided). The nhtsa campaign number: 14v047000 sounds very similar in nature.could the nhtsa look in to the parts being the same?

Approx 2miles from work - making a right hand turn at a light. Hazards on - taking precaution... Car behind me. Once i make the turn my car completely shuts off again. No brakes not steering -nothing... My car just happened to coast to the right as it is.... Car behind missed me by an inch of slamming into me. Waited a good 1/2 hour - my husband came and drove it the rest of the way to the work parking lot. I called jeep in lugoff sc and like every other dealership out there - they have no memory of hearing of any 2006 - 2007 jeep commander problems. I have called chyrsler care 8009921997- dealerships... They all make me out to be crazy. I am going to report them to the bbb as well. I have 3 children - 9,8, and 20 mths old. Chrysler must be waiting for someone to get killed.... I normally take the hwy to work - but today for some reason i decided to head to work on a back road. .... I can not believe with all the issues and complaints i have read about this same problem - that it is even legal to sell this car used,...
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!
Took car to dealer to have recall #07v434000 -service brakes, hydraulic:antilock:control unit/module on certain sport utility vehicles, the software programmed into the abs electronic control module may allow a momentary delay in braking when coasting up a hill during certain conditions--could cause crash!when the dealer corrected the recall issue, the abs module failed--this was in north carolina where car was bought initially.took car to pennsylvania dealer to have the abs module installed.waited for new module when it arrived 2 weeks later, dealer said that new modules were failing and could not be fixed and that detroit was saying they knew they had a problem and were attempting to correct.i called jeep customer service and they said all they could do was tell me what already had been told by dealer that they were waiting for a fix/new components from jeep.customer service checked with both dealerships and again reiterated that detroit was attempting to fix the problem and as soon as they did they would send new module.the jeep is now being driven w/o abs or the esp modules, both lights are on and car keeps alerting to get service.my insurance gives me a discount for having abs but now i am driving w/o them.i am afraid to drive the car since the initial recall said that a crash could occur. During winter driving having to stop quickly can occur from out of nowhere, now i do not have abs or esp.this is an accident waiting to happen.jeep does not seem to care. Their customer service rep suggested that the only thing they could tell me was to contact my state attorney general and file a complaint--which i have done.there was another car in the pa dealership with the same problem as mine--no abs or eps after attempting to fix the initial recall problem.how many more cars are having this problem?please investigate before there is a death.thank you.

The recirculation assembly on my 2006 jeep commander keeps on braking.i have had it replaced two times within the last 6 months, and this morning, i went to turn on the heat, and i heard it snap again.when it brakes, air comes into the cabin of the car no matter what the position of your a/c or heat controls.even if you have them off, air still comes in since the recirculation door is broken.i cannot be the only one experiencing this issue.
While driving, the instrument panel began flashing all the warning lights several times for a period of 5 minutes. The warning lights that stayed on afterwards: traction control and electronic stability program and bsp. This could have caused a crash because i was distracted by the malfunction.
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.
Problems began 1 day after commander went in to dealer for the regular 3,000mile oil change, that car was returned to me after that oil change, as 'good to go'; w/in 24 hours of that oil change, the commander would not start and required a new starter (30k miles). After the starter was replaced, the commander was stalling if - in the middle of a slight incline it had to brake and then resume - at the resume it would stall.also, after starter replaced dashboard lights blinking; transmission cooler lines leaking, power steering line from pump to cooler leaking, and front and back brake rotors had to be replaced (42k miles)60k miles, the cruise control turns on by itself and the rear park assist turns off by itself; the water leak into front passenger well.speaking with custom relations at chrysler corporate regarding cruise control, rear assist and water leak problems they told me that they were not aware of these being a problem for most commander customers; however, chrysler jeep is aware of these problems as evidenced by the technical service bulletins published on them yet chrysler jeep does not issue a recall/take fiscal responsibility for their manufacturer defects.more: chrysler jeep expects me to pay them to diagnose the problems so that then so long as i have paid a dealer to repair them they will consider (not necessarily approve; in the past they have in fact denied me reimbusement to fix these problems for which they have technical service bulletins on)refunding me total or partial cost of repairs.more: i was only informed of a safety recall regarding ebc module (brake) when i called in last week (12/2011) regarding the water leak & cruise control problem. Making this more poignant, the reason for this recall - that i was not notified about when it was first issued- is a brake issue that i had detailed to chrysler jeep in 2009!

I bought a jeep comander in may of 2008, two days later i had to have what was supposed to be a really great new car towed on a rollback to the dealer i had just gotten it from. Im driving down the road and it starts making a terrible noise and then it will not turn and just dies in the middle of the road. Right in the middle of an intersection with traffic coming at me. Since then the same thing happened again as i was driving down the interstate with my children in the car and traffic all around.i drove it straight to the dealership, and also had them tell me it was the driver of the vehicle. I got a rental and they called the next day to say they could find anything wrong with the car. During the winter my car decided to get a mind of its own and when you would turn the heat on you had to have it on high or it wouldn't do anything,but if you drove around a curve to the right it would cut off, if you went around a curve to the left it would cut back on. A couple months later it was time to get brakes and have rotors turned. I also had the stereo worked on because i guess it took lessons from my heater, and would change stations or not turn at all .it still doesn't work right at this point i've kind of given up on it.but then the window s started not going up all the way theywould go halfway up then go back down in the door. Ihave just taken my car on friday to get new tires, monday for an alignment,where i was told they couldn't do one because my tierod had to much play in it and was a safety concern. My dealership no longer has their license so i had my car taken to the closest jeep place and my warranty couldn't be found and i basically stood on the street to wait for a ride as they closedfor the night.but then when i got to talk to them again i needed new brakes and rotors all the way around at a grand total of 600.00 .
It started out that the car was acting up, every warning light was illuminated, the speedometer and tachometer were going all over the place (like they were bouncing).we took it in to the dealer and they said we would have to bring the car back in when it was still doing this, because they plugged it in to the computer and couldn't find anything wrong.so to the dismay of my wife we took the car back even though they couldn't find anything wrong with it.about a week later my wife was pulling into the mall (on the 29th of dec.), it was extremely busy, so the mall had flagmen out directing traffic.she was on a downhill ramp waiting for the flagmen to let her go.as she was sitting there stopped the instrument panel started going nuts again.at that moment her foot, which was on the brake went straight to the floor, she had lost all brake pressure in the pedal.as she was pumping the brakes she had to honk and wave to the flagmen that she couldn't stop and to move.she had traveled about a 100 feet and finally came to a stop when the car hit the one that was further downhill from her.we call reuther jeep and told them what had happened and they said to tow the car to their shop and they would give us a rental car.they told me to contact chrysler and have them do an investigation.they did they investigation (without driving the car) plugged it into the computer, and later told me that there was no problem with the car, and we should contact our insurance company.no other explanation was given.i did some searching online and found numerous instances where this seems to be a problem and falls in line with the recall that chrysler had recently done on the 64000+ cars.i don't want this car back, i don't feel it is safe and i fear for my wife and kids that are always in this car.we leased the vehicle i don't see why they should be able to make this right.i just want a safe vehicle for my wife and kids.
Stepped on my brake and the car did not stop until i re-applied my brake.

I am 48 years old.my vehicle was repaired twice after the first 2 accidents, but i am awaiting contact from the other party's auto insurer before proceeding with the repairs following yesterday's accident.i've brought the 2006 jeep commander in to bud mulcahy's jeep on several occasions. That dealership is now closed.

I have experienced 3 separate accidents on may 31 2006, august 2 2006 and september 20 2007 with the 2006 jeep commander limited.i had just left the stop sign in the first accident and proceeded into the intersection of a 2-way stop.my vehicle stalled and i collided with a grand am.the driver of that vehicle has filed a civil action against me in which metlife auto & casualty has hired an attorney to represent me.i was found to be primarily at fault for this accident.the lawsuit is claiming i was negligent.the second accident occurred when i was turning around to get a better "shot" into a private driveway. I successfully turned around in a parking area across the street from the driveway and i was in the process of entering the driveway when my vehicle stalled and my driver side front bumper was struck, breaking the tie rod.the police and the other party's insurance found the other driver who was 93 to be at fault for the accident.the third accident occurred on september 20 2007, when i was attempting to turn left on a green light from a turn lane. I was in the process of turning left when another driver who was speeding collided with my vehicle which had stalled during the left hand turn. The passenger front bumper was damaged including a broken tie rod. The other driver's insurance has determined i am primarily at fault for that accident.
My wife experienced brake failure and was forced to move into the left lane to avoid hitting the car in front of her. She was traveling at a low rate of speed, less than 10 mph, as she approached a stop light. The vehicle was on a slight incline, and the anti-lock brakes pulsated, then, the brake went completely to the floorboard. She immediately took the vehicle to the dealership, and was told that other customers had complained of the same problem, and daimler chrysler had been contacted, but had done nothing to solve this obviously very dangerous safety problem.
A number of times we have had a temporary but a complete brake failure in the same spot in the same road. This has only happened after a cold start, with me driving. My wife has witnessed the failure twice, so she now knows i'm not crazy. The road is good and up hill, approaching a stop sign. The only consequences so far are some grey hair. The intersection in question is a 55 mph intersection. A number of times i have almost ran into traffic. Fortunately i approach the intersection slow enough to get off the road and stay out of traffic. The car has been back to the dealer 3 times. I am satisfied that the dealer has done everything in there power to fix the car. I have contacted the manufacture a couple of times about this problem. They could not care less.
I purchased my 2006 jeep commander in oct. 2005 from mccune chrysler jeep in national city, ca.initially, i started noticing my brakes shimmying as i came to a stop.i reported to my dealership a few times but no good came out of it.then, last thursday, sept. 13, i noticed my dashboard lights (electrical system, brakes and transmission lights) flashing on and off as i accelerated from a stop and headed uphill.it felt as though the jeep wanted to stop and go at the same time.i reported it to my dealership and brought in the vehicle the next week.the dealership quoted me $190 to analyze it (since my jeep was about 8,000 miles beyond the warranty period).then, they told me that it would cost me over $400 to repair the vehicle even though they did not know what was wrong with it.i began to research the internet about recalls on this make and model and found that chrysler had issued a recall on friday, sept. 14, 2007.i printed the article and brought it to my service rep at mccune.the rep insisted that it was not my problem and that his dealership had not heard of a recall on my make and model.so, i called chrysler's customer service department in oak ridge, tn.the representatives there insisted that there was no recall.frustrated, i accepted the dealerships offer to repair my vehicle.they quoted me a $100 deductible to place the vehicle under warranty.as i drove off, the same thing happened all over again.i called the service advisor and explained what had happened.he insisted that he test drove the vehicle and the lights never came on.i didn't believe him.i feel that he mislead me and that his dealership never repaired my vehicle.i will bring my vehicle back to mccune monday morning (9/24/07) and i will see what will happen.i paid for a rental vehicle last week (over $100 and the dealership never offered to cover my expenses.i am so frustrated.
I have a 2006 jeep commander and i am having problems with the brake system.everytime i turn my vehicles, and switch pedals from brake to gas, my car just locks in place.this has happened twice as i am going into a major intersections and i almost was involved in an accident (rear ended) because of this.basically the vehicle has the same problems described on the chrysler recall press release but on their website i checked the vin number and it says that there are no recalls for my vehicle.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander.while driving 30-35 mph, the vehicle shut off without warning.the dealer was unable to duplicate the failure.as of november 5, 2007, the dealer had not repaired the vehicle.the contact stated that the vehicle would not shift correctly and he heard a grinding noise coming from the engine.the dealer stated that the vehicle needed a new transmission.they replaced the transmission.the failure mileage was 3,000 and current mileage was 11,730. The consumer stated a new transmission put in the vehicle and new bearings in the transfer case. The consumer stated a new power steering pump, new brake calipers, and the consumer stated there are still electrical problems with the vehicle. Updated 11/20/07
Pulsating of brakes when applied to come to a stop. Asked dealership 2x to check. First time was told they were fine, second time they took out for a test drive and experienced the pulsing. Inspected the brake system and found that all 4 rotors were not worn down, but were warped. They explained that it was most likely caused by being heated up by frequently stopping short. I have been driving for 30 years and have had many vehicles and never an issue with replacing rotors after 2 years, not due to the life of the rotor, but warping. I have been in the same job for 23 years and driving the same roads. I do not frequently stop short or ride my brakes. If anything i utilize the feature of down shifting as not to apply the brakes as often. I was told that when i bought this vehicle there should not be any issues because it was a firstmodel because it was based on the jeep grand cherokee. I have noticed that there was a class action suit regarding the brakes on that model.

Just as i was slowing down to 30 mph to enter a parking lot the entire dashboard lit up and then all lights faded and turned off. The ac turned off and the radio turned off. The car still continued driving but the power steering was gone, causing the car to shake and jolt mid turn. The brakes weren't working as they normally would resulting in a very dangerous situation had any other car been close to me at the time. I took it to my mechanic right away and he tested everything, including the alternator and the battery. Everything was functioning at 100% capacity and he couldn't find a reason for the check engine light to be on. This has happened 3 more times. I am unable to drive the vehicle in fear that it will break down or my family or another driver.
Loss of steering when raining and vehicle is driven through puddles of water on the roadway.
I was driving down the hwy and my vehicle turned off. I lost power steering breaks and was not able to properly maintain control of my vehicle in order to avoid an accident. This had happened twice before this time, and i looked to see that there was a recall on my jeep for an ingition switch and the the exact discription of what would happen if my car was effected fit my situation. I then called jeep and advised them of this and they said i neeeded to have it diagnoised by a jeep dealership. I had the vehicle towed at my expensense and rented a car at my expense. The dealership confirmed my assumption and in fact the issue i was experiencing is part of the recall. Jeep now tells me they don't have the parts and they have not made a decision on whether it's neccessary to provide a replacement vehicle until they have a resolve. Am i supposed to be without a vehicle or potentially drive mine with 3 children, and potentially loose power again causing a loss of control? what i am supposed to do from here?
Multiple times; while driving vehicle stalls. Vehicle fluctuates while idling and then finally stalls.
Approx 2miles from work - making a right hand turn at a light. Hazards on - taking precaution... Car behind me. Once i make the turn my car completely shuts off again. No brakes not steering -nothing... My car just happened to coast to the right as it is.... Car behind missed me by an inch of slamming into me. Waited a good 1/2 hour - my husband came and drove it the rest of the way to the work parking lot. I called jeep in lugoff sc and like every other dealership out there - they have no memory of hearing of any 2006 - 2007 jeep commander problems. I have called chyrsler care 8009921997- dealerships... They all make me out to be crazy. I am going to report them to the bbb as well. I have 3 children - 9,8, and 20 mths old. Chrysler must be waiting for someone to get killed.... I normally take the hwy to work - but today for some reason i decided to head to work on a back road. .... I can not believe with all the issues and complaints i have read about this same problem - that it is even legal to sell this car used,...
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. While driving 10 mph, the power steering seized and the instrument panel lights illuminated. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 14v438000 (electrical system) and stated that the part needed for the repair was 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 62,000. Parts distribution disconnect.
While driving the vehicle on a slippery road during a snowfall, my wife observed all of the indicator lights on the dashboard light up simultaneously. Shortly thereafter, the engine shut off, causing a loss of power steering and consequently a loss of control of the vehicle on the slippery roadway. As a result, the vehicle slid into a highway maintenance marker along the shoulder of the road, causing minor damage to the license plate holder and bumper of the vehicle. Our concern is that this incident is apparently due to a defective ignition switch, which is the subject of a current recall (14v-438) issued by the manufacturer on 9/3/14. However, the manufacturer has not provided a remedy for this defect, citing the unavailability of repair parts, and as of this morning the manufacturer has no idea as to when these repair parts will be available. In the meantime, the phenomenon of the dashboard indicators suddenly and spontaneously illuminating while driving continues to recur rather frequently, and we are afraid that a recurrence of the engine shutoff and loss of power steering and brake assist will also recur, perhaps at a time and location where a much more serious crash will result.
Often my whole electrical system will flash on and off and has since jan 2009. Three timessince march of last year vehicle has turned its self off while driving (complete steering loss), fortunately at low speed. Also, in 2010 ( i have repair receipt) my transmission control module went out. I had to pay a $200 copay per request of jeep to have it replaced, after much argument. They said my particular 2006 jeep commander wasn't part of the recall, as was all other failing parts included on 2006 commander recalls, excepting ignition.still waiting on ignition fix, its been a year.
Driving home from work yesterday, when my steering wheel suddenly locked and truck started dying, and i almost hit a guard rail . Turned the engine completely off and tried to turn the engine back on, butmy truck would not start. Had the truck towed to the dealer that day 04/25/2014.receiveda callfrom the dealer on today's date 04/26/2014; truck needs a new tipm module. A new tipm module was just putin my truck at the same dealer a few days short of a year ago (04/27/2013).problem is so common with chrysler that themodule is on back order (nationally).there is no recall for this issue and it is seriously dangerous!i have read other complaints in regards to the tipm module (lawsuits as well). Does someone have to die before chrysler does something? i am now afraid to drive my vehicle after the new tipm module is put in (whenever that will be) or to have passengers ride in my vehicle. Please please please help before someone is seriously injured or killed. I have no idea what i'll do to get back and forth to work because module is on back order and the dealer does not do loaners.
My vechicle was recall ed over 2 years ago for steering wheel switch and i keep getting letters to come in for repais but they never have parts. My car is unsafe. I want it fixed. I've experienced the incident 5 times.
I purchased a 2006 jeep commander last year.i have had the following items replaced on my jeep front passenger interior door panel.strange noise coming from my car that sounded like playing cards in bike tires ended with replacing front axel ring and pinion.car kept popping out of gear the entire gear shift was replaced. My passenger window had to be fixed it kept sticking halfway up. I had a problem where my car kept stalling.i was told the first time that no error appears on the computer and jeep knew of no issue with cars stalling so maybe it was bad gas.it died several more times and finally they did replace a part inside the idol.i also had an issue where my headlights kept turning off as i drove or would flash on and off.they replaced the headlight switch. I have had the rubber stripping from my back driver side window come off and now it is occurring on the passenger side. From the beginning i have told them i do not feel my transmission is working properly that it shifts hard and when i shift from reverse to drive there is a big hesitation.i have been told no error is appearing on computer and that jeep as usual has no known issues so they had no suggestions.once again they thought it was a gas issue moving from winter to summer blend.the last time i had it in when it was stalling i told them it the transmission was still hesitating and would make a pop noise at times then it would go.it is still occurring and at times the car acts like it might not shift into drive.i am satisfied with how my dealership is working with me they are doing their best to help me.i blame jeep/chrysler all you have to do is search the web to see that there are so many others just like me with the exact same issue.they need to recall these cars now and if they can not find the problem then replace them for us.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. The contact stated that while driving 35 mph, the engine stalled, the steering wheel became difficult to turn and the brakes failed to engage. The vehicle was taken to dealer. The technician diagnosed that the ignition switch needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact received a notification for nhtsa campaign number: 14v438000 (electrical system) and believed the failure was directly related to the recall. The contact stated that the part needed to remedy the vehicle was not available. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 84,000.
After having the recalled ignition and tcm replaced/reprogrammed the esp,bas and traction lights come and the two driver side brakes and tires lock up, makes a terrible grinding noise, and the vehicle slides while trying to make a turn. This problem occurs while the vehicle is in motion and without warning.
My vehicle died in the middle of me driving without warning. I was on a main roadturning into a mcdonald's when my car died. I was going about 20 when my car died.my steering locked up, couldn't brake or accelerate, and had to pull over and turn my car off to and back on to get it running again. Once i got my car started again the idle kept pulsating above one thousand rpm and would have to keep it in neutral at a stop so it would lurk forward.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep comander.while driving 25 mphthe engine stalled and he lost power steering control.the contact was able to restart the vehicle.the mechanic stated that he was familiar with this failure.the mileage was 15,000 at the time of purchase.the failure mileage was 15550, and the current mileage was 15900.
This has happened twice, i was driving home from work at 55mph with my new born child, and the engine shut off, the electirc shut off and the power sterring quit. The car behind me almost smashed into me. The jeep came to a stop and then i turned the key and it turned back on. Please help me!
Hello, my 2006 jeep commander started stalling out over a year ago and has stalled on me on and off various times at different speeds but usually at a higher rate of speed, which has been very scary. I have chosen not to drive the vehicle anymore and now it is sitting in my driveway and i am driving a 1991 honda because i cannot afford to buy a new car at this time. I just paid this jeep off and now i cannot drive the vehicle. The dealer fixed the one recall on the vehicle called the front control module and it ran fine for a couple of weeks and now once again the car stalled out while i was headed to a camping trip with my kids a couple months ago going 50 mph and almost caused an accident. I was almost hit by a semi and several cars were honking and trying to avoid my jeep. I lose all power steering and there are no notifications that the car will stall so it is very scary and dangerous for me and my children. I am so upset that i cannot drive the car and feel safe. I have contacted jeep and they have a recall for 2006 jeep commanders that covers up to january 2006 and my vehicle was made in march so they told me there is nothing they can do. The recall was for the pcm which my car has the same code on the diagnosis but now they are telling me to take it to the dealer and i have to pay for this. I really hope that this situation can be resolved by jeep stepping up and taking care of this issue for the safety of people.
I have a 2006 jeep commander limited. I was driving home this morning and all off a sudden just before i went to turn into my driveway the steering went stiff and started making a whining noise...now can hardly steer it at all...i think the power steering pump or the rack and pinion steering is toast...its a huge job as for you have to drop the front diff to replace ..very expensive and is not under my warrant....vehicle is only at 80,000 km now ...i bought it used last week and have only drove it for 1,500km ...not cool!! why is this happening on so many jeeps!!????? chrysler not doing a thing about it????safe???.....i don't think so!
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. The contact was driving approximately 2 mph in reverse, there was a clicking noise and the vehicle started to shake. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The technician stated that the failure was contributed to the power steering. The vehicle was repaired.prior to the repair the vehicle was taken to two independent mechanics; however, a diagnostic test was not performed, and the second mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The failureand current mileages were 37,000.
I went to start my 2006 jeep commander and it would turn over, but it would not start. I finally worked with it a little bit and got it to start, but then my power steering went out. I cut it off and tried it again and everything went back to normal. However, when i got going, there was a horrible gas smell coming from the rear of the vehicle. This starting issue has happened multiple times and every time the power steering goes out. The vehicle was stationary at a public place after it had been running for about 30 minutes.
While driving and turning a left corner resulted in loss of engine power, power steering, and braking.this has happened on several occasions and we have stopped driving the family vehicle due to this safety issue which is not deemed safe to drive especially up and down hills....we had to purchase another vehicle since the recall fix is still not available and won't be for over 1 year!
Vechile will turn off while running and brakes and steering will go out,randomly lights,ac and deck lights will flicker on and off. Over temp transmission goes off randomly.
Takata recall : my commander is having an issue where all the gears light up on the dash at the same time and power to the vehicle slows down drastically. The steering wheel is hard to control when this happens. The dash lights up service park assist system.the vehicle is in motion when this happens.
I was driving;the dashboard lit up and the air bag sign said air bags disengaged. Then the car shut off. I restarted it after several attempts. I want to know when are you going to get this problem fixed. I was fortunate in that i was driving slowly in town. But it has shut off a number of times. I keep only the key in the ignition and it has still done that. To me i think if i am driving on the interstate or some other high volume and high speed area and this occurs again causing an accident you will be the ones to blame.
2006 jeep commander traveling at highway speed 65mph ignition shuts off and loss of power steering. Able to slow to breakdown lane and restart vehicle. This is the second time this has happened chrysler is no help. I have a 5 month old who was in the vehicle at the time. Its been long enough they should have it figured out. Acceptable time for an issue like this is not 6 months.
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.
We have a 2006 jeep commander and it sometimes jerks back and forth while driving sometimes it even shifts into neutral and then back to drive the power steering works only part of the time and the airbag system says its off all the time and it will shut off while driving sometimes too really frustrated with this vehicle its a disaster and waiting to happen
My wife's jeep completely shut down while going 45 miles anhour and she went off of the road. This happened less than a month after we took it to the jeep dealership to have fixed. They said as im sure every one who has put in an apparent useless complaint that " no errors are coming up and there doesn't seem to be a problem. " what bothers me the most about this is that jeep has not issued any statement after the countless complaints keep filing in. Just because no error message is coming up when it is plugged in doesn't mean these hundreds of jeep commander owners are lying about what is happening. Ihave another appointment tomorrow. This exercise is getting old . It should not have to take a death from some one driving these vehicles to have chrysler do something about this . I have read many of these complaints that other concerned drivers have put in.apparently this site doesn't get chrslers attention .
On multiple occasions in the last 2-3 months the car has stalled out while driving at speeds over 60 miles an hour. Everything including the lights etc... Shutdown when it stalls. After pulling over the vehicle will restart fairly quickly.
When i am driving on the main city road or highway i notice about three things that happen all at once. The first thing is i lose control of my steering. The second thing is it feels like my jeep went into park causing all my wheels to break for 1 to 3 second. The third thing is it feels as the engine stalled. All these things happen at the same time. This causes my jeep to stop or stall on the road sending me and my passengers to lounge forward as if i had hit an invisible wall at full force.
2006 jeep commandervehicles is shutting off randomly while driving and the steering wheel is locking up. Also the lights on the dash board flicker randomly. Mechanics could not find anything wrong. There is no recalls on my specific vin but for other 2006 jeep commanders. I do not want my family and i driving down the highway and it's does this and we die then you finally say oops yeah there's a recall on that...
Since the beginning of ownership, this car has stalled many times (as well as other various and odd electrical problems.)many times i can turn the car off and on and it will restart.this does happen in parking lots and highway speeds as well. I have also lost power steering and brakes when in parking lots at a very slow acceleration speed. I have also had air bag warning lights go on and stay on then randomly shut off.the dealer has tried to help resolve but is limited by chrysler's ability to recognize that there is a problem.if there is no code in the cars computer, there is no problem and can't be duplicated.if the problem can't be duplicated, there is no repair. But it keeps happening over and over.i have filed a complaint with chrysler with no resolve.the dealership has had my car and drove it for 3 weeks to try to duplicate the problem.since it is so random and they just didn't get enough time/miles in, the problem didn't happen.it stalled again about 3 weeks after that pulling out of my driveway.there has been no repair, because chrysler says there is no problem.i have been in the middle of an intersection with a 15 year old on a permit driving with oncoming traffic.i have had this car since march 2006 and this has been occurring many times repeatedly since then.not all have been documented and because it occasionally happens on weekends or holidays, i have no ability to get it in to a dealership.in order for them to be able to read a code, i would have to leave the car in a stalled position wherever it occurred and have it towed directly to the dealer.this is highly impractical and unsafe.especially scary at high speeds on the highway.i do not want to be a casualty of chrysler's failure to recognize that there are thousands of these vehicles out there doing this exact same thing.do a "google" searchsee the #'s!something needs to be done!!!
My beloved jeep commander suddenly shut off while driving at 40mph.with no prior problems or warning signs the engine completely stalled- instantly i lost both power steering & brakes. Needless to say i was terrified. After much confusion & hassle i was told to replace my key. (reason being the 'chip' inside was malfunctioning.) i replaced the $270 key which solved nothing. To my surprise, many commander owners experience this same problem with no help from jeep. Not only do jeep dealerships ignore the potential recall warning on the commander, but they actually recommend expensive 'solutions' that do not even touch the known problem. It seems as though there are no solutions for this faulty system, given that no dealership can successfully stop the shutting off. There are way too many owners experiencing the same dangerous stall. I cannot in good conscience ignore the fact that this problem goes beyond inconvenience; this is potentially very dangerous and the jeep commander needs to be recalled.
P41 / nhtsa 14v-438engine shut off while driving. Removed everything from key chain, and left enough space between knee and key.when car bounces, cannot control knee.happened more than 5 times past a month.called chrysler, have no estimated time for parts production.
I was slowing down to make a right hand turn and the car shut off couldn't get it started had to have it towed and had to have ignition switch and assy. Replaced.
While driving the car shut off.no speed or power steering.this occurred on a busy road and a crash was avoided.i have called chrysler and was told the recall parts are still unavailable.
Today not 10 minutes after filing my complaint i got in my car and while driving the car stalled after my knee barely touched the key fob. I was paying close attention since i had just read about the investigation.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. While driving 15 mph, the steering wheel became difficult to maneuver. The contact also stated that the brake pedal was depressed and failed to respond. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact received a notification of nhtsa campaign number: 14v438000 (electrical system) and believed that the failure was related to the recall. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 84,000.
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 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!
We were traveling home on the interstate going about 75 mph, and all of a sudden everything lights up on the dashboard, and my jeep commander starts shutting down without warning!we had to coast off of a exit ramp, and were thankful we did not get smacked from behind or killed! this is the third time that this happened to me.one other time i was taking my child to school, and it just shut off without warning while the truck was in motion, and i had to coast off to the side to a cvs pharmacy parking lot!another problem with this particular truck is that the door handles are poorly made.all of my door handles just started crumbling one by one and will not open from the inside.i have already put in a complaint about the door handles to nhtsa.the last complaint that i have is when it rains heavily, a huge puddle will dampen my passenger side because water is backed up in the sunroof drains. Jeep has cheated a lot of people with this jeep commander!it has too many problems to count and everything cost more than what the jeep is worth!i will never deal with chrysler, jeep, dodge again!they are a bunch of crooks!nhtsa please do something !this broken door handle issue and shutting off without warning is going to get someone seriously hurt or killed!
Was driving down road and lost power, car stalled. This has happened a total of 3 times with yesterday being the 3rd event and i was traveling about 55 mph with the last incident.
Car rolls in park from time to time unless the emergency brake is set. Makes very loud grinding noise when in reverse afterward. Has "service 4wd system" message.no mechanic has been able to identify the problem.
In september of 2014 i recently bought a 2006 jeep commander. A few weeks after purchasing the vehicle i noticed the car was shutting off when i was at stop signs, red lights, and most seriously when i was driving. I was not sure as to why my car was doing this. I tried everything from a new battery and countless appointments at my mechanic. I was not informed of any type of recall on my car, until i did my own personal research. In may of 2015 i took my car to a chrysler, dodge, jeep and ram dealership to find out when i could order the part for the p-41 recall on my car. I was informed that the part was not available in the country and they were not sure of when it would arrive. I was told the car was "safe" to drive. I was given a few tips: sit far enough away from the steering wheel so my knees were not close to the key, have the car key only on a ring by itself, always wear my seat belt, and avoid having a front passenger. It was only a matter of 4 weeks until i was experiencing the issue again. I was driving on the highway with my boyfriend and one year old daughter going about 65mph when my car completely shut off, i lost power steering, brakes, and every single light turned on. I had to resort to pulling the e-brake which did not help slow my car down. This was the most serious and dangerous incident, luckily we did not get hurt, or hurt anyone else. As a result, i took my car to another jeep dealership and was advised the same information that the part was not able to be ordered and given the same tips. I requested a rental for the safety of myself and my daughter. It took me 2 weeks to finally receive a rental. I have had a rental for almost two weeks now and was told by the dealership, by pulling the e-brake it was going to cost me $1600 to fix. I do not feel as if i am responsible for the cost of the repair, considering this was caused by the p-41 recall.
Jeep commander 2006 completely shut down, steering locked up and the brakes locked up, while going in motion.could have been in a fatal accident.happened several times before reaching destination.dealer stated that the control module needed to be replaced.
Driving north from detroit with my uncle,passing a semi on i 75 at about 70-75. The engine just quit,likesome turned the key off. Got to the side of the road,put vec. In park started back up drove home. Took jeep to al serra,s the 29 th got it back 6/2/14 found no reason why it shut down. June 15 th when driving on bristol road at 45 mph it quit again,took it back to al serra,s 2days later got it back,still couldn't find cause.
The vehicle randomly shuts off.the dash gauges flicker and/or go off for a brief time.if breaks are engaged at that time, abs stops.if headlights are on auto, they turn off.if turning a hard left or right (such as turning into a driveway, turning on to a street, parking) power steering stops working. If the lights are on but not on auto the lights stay on.the radio stays on.these symptoms would indicate that there is a problem with the ignition switch.when this issue occurs, it seems to stop by pushing on the key.this has happened multiple times.after visiting this page, a log will be created to record date, time, and speed. This is a huge safety issue.after much research many users of internet forums for jeeps, complain about this issue (reference urls can be provided). The nhtsa campaign number: 14v047000 sounds very similar in nature.could the nhtsa look in to the parts being the same?
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.
Help please!!!!!!! i have come here and filed complaints on this vehicle a few times! there is currently a recall on this vehicle, however there is no solution so we are forced to drive in a very dangerous situation! my jeep dies on me almost twice a week!!! i am 5'1 my knees are no where near the ignition switch! i have taken off everything from my key ring since it started dying in july!!! today i am in tears! we have snow packed icy roads and my jeep died as i was turning a corner, barely missing another vehicle and with no power steering i was able to get to a curb. I can put the jeep in park and restart it, but today was a close call! i drive my children in this vehicle!!! we have no other vehicle that i can use! i cannot responsibly sell this vehicle, i would feel horrible if something happened to another family!!! this agency is set up to maintain the safety of the consumer, please, please help us who are driving this extremely dangerous vehicle! i am copying this and sending it to whatever media outlet will listen!!!
Can you tell me when chrysler will have parts for my vehiclethat is on recall for ignition switch. I am still having problems with the vehicle cutting off while driving. I have the recall notification for some time now and waiting for them to notify me when i can have it repaired. I worry about the vehicle continuing to cut off at any time while driving and may cause an accident with the steeringlocking up. I enter the date above as today which is not the recall date only to complete this form.thank you[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

While driving on sunday july 6, 2014, my vehicle suddenly shut off and lost power steering. We were able to pull off and restart the vehicle. This happened a couple of times and then seemed to run normal.
Had the ignition switch replaced according to recall. After a few months, it has become very difficult to get key to turn to start vehicle. Took the vehicle to larry miller in albuquerque nm, they want to charge me 300.00 to repair. According to previous owner it worked fine before taking it in for recall.
While driving the commander at various speeds everything suddenly turns off. Acceleration is immediately decreased and all dashboard functions are gone. I have to shift to neutral and re-start the engine, all while still driving. This is very dangerous. I have had this car for 2 months.
My jeep commander turned off, causing my brakes to fail along with steering and airbags to fail. I crashed into the back of someone towing a pontoon boat. The total cost of damage was over $7,000. My insurance had to cover it. This is because of the recall p41. I have called and complained several times about my dash lights flickering, and my jeep turning itself off. I was without my vehicle for 3 weeks while it was being repaired. Chrysler needs to get this issue figured out! this could have been a much worse accident had i been on the interstate.
Since the first few months that i owned this 2006 jeep commander it has randomly shut down while i am driving.i have noticed that it happens more often in the summer.it has been taken in and had pcm reprogramming, parts replaced, and other work.at the time we purchased it my husband was the gm at the dealership.the tech's tried everything.since then the dealership has switched to another automotive group.i have contacted several jeep service departments and many say there is nothing they can do.they are aware of the problem, but have no solutions other than what has already been done.i drive on highways with my two children often and several times it has cut off when speed limits where 65+ mph.i do not want to pass this problem along to another owner.i managed service departments for years and know how to react to problems, but i am concerned that jeep has done nothing to fix this.i know of several other owners who purchased vehicles at the same time who had the same problem.many have been traded in and now new owners are having to deal with this dangerous condition.
I was driving my jeep commander home from work.i turned the corner and the jeep abruptly stopped moving. It felt like i hit a cement block. The jeep would not move backward or forward.i got out to see what happened, and to my amazement i saw the front right tire folded underneath the vehicle. Because of the way it was positioned, it had not changed the height of the vehicle. When the tow truck pulled it onto the flatbed, the tire dislodged and the front end crashed to the ground, smashing it.in the morning i determined that the ball joint broke and the tire came off the axel. I am lucky to be alive because i drive all day for work and could easily have been on the highway.my wife could have been driving.we are afraid that even if we get this repaired that maybe it will happen again.this should not be an issue with only 70k miles and a vehicle that has been well maintained by a jeep dealer.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. The contact stated that while driving 40 mph, the steering wheel became very difficult to maneuver and caused her to lose control of the vehicle. The contact mentioned that the vehicle veered off the roadway and crashed into several trees. A police report was not filed of the incident. The contact mentioned that the front passenger and a rear passenger were air lifted from the scene for treatment of severe injuries. The contact mentioned that both passengers had to undergo several surgeries to reconstruct the muscled in their legs which were damaged in the crash. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was destroyed and was not inspected to determine the cause of the failure. The failure and current mileage was 120,000.
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 just purchased this used 2006 jeep commander 1 week ago. The vehicle is in great condition, no previous accidents, no engine lights/error codes. On the 2nd day of owning the jeep i experienced my first stall, and since then 4 more stalls. There is no engine lights, error codes, etc. The vehicle seems to be 100% okay, however the vehicle has just shut off 4 times losing brakes, steering, lights, etc - whether i am moving or at a stop. At first i thought "i must have bought a lemon" but i have been reading through several forums and blogs that there are 100's if not 1,000's of people who are experiencing the same issue with their 5.7l hemi commander, and some of the blogs date back to 2006 when these vehicles were brand new with less than a thousand miles on them. One person actually suffered an accident due to this electrical issue - losing control of steering and brakes. Because their is no engine codes or lights dealerships are not assessing the issue at all or are just throwing parts at it hoping it is fixed and charging the customer a boat load of money. Several people have identified that the issue potentially resides in the pcm and the ignition coils, some say that the coils put of an em interference that is disrupting the pcm. Regardless - chrysler needs to get this fixed so no one else gets hurt, or killed.
I received a safety recall notice from chrysler for my jeep commander stating that i may experience an unintended change in ignition switch position while driving, which could result in loss of engine power, power steering, and braking, and increases my risk of a crash. I have called chrysler group recall center 1-800-853-1403, option 6 countless times, unfortunately many times having to hang up after waiting 25 minutes to get through. I have also repeatedly called beyer/jeep/chrysler 973-644-3200 and they have been very short with me and tell me the same thing every time i call- they have no date of when the part will be in. When i drive on the highway, i am terrified of losing control of my car. I have seen on the news people that have been in accidents because of this ignition switch and heard that chrysler has a buyout program. I am interested in finding out about this program because i think that waiting over a year, and with no resolution in sight, is a bit ridiculous and i dont want to become a statistic. Please advice me as to what my next step should be.
My 2006 commander with 40,000 miles has had the following problems since it came off the lot.the vehicle stalls and i obviously lose power and steering but there are no error messages in the computer, the 4wd does not engage - the warning light for that comes on but there's no error message in the computer. The window's roll up and down incorrectly - the gasket on the exhaust manifold has been replaced and the kicker of all problems is when the vehicle goes through a minor puddle of water or the automatic car wash the steering wheel locks completely until the water is gone - try driving that in the rain- jeep was finally able to duplicate that problem by putting a garden hose under the car and squirting water on the underside of the vehicle - this problem apparently cannot be fixed and they can't believe that no other jeep owner's aren't throwing fits.so much for the lemon law - the steering problem wasn't taken seriously by the previous jeep dealers -i went to a different dealer altogether however, it's too late.
Jeep has total loss of power, control, and steering while driving.car will no start unless in park or neutral, losses all power electrical and steering once you let foot off of the accelerator.i almost ran into another vehicle while heading hope and was nearly rear ended at another intersection due to stalling and no control.all of this happened within hours of ed voyles jeep replacing the ignition switch p41 recall.super super dangerous...
Everytime i drive my jeep it stalls and the wheel locks up (basically turns into manual steering) and my brakes lock up ( no brakes at all) and i had just bought this jeep a wk go from mcgee chevrolet in raynham ma. The first night i drove it home it stalled pulling in to the driveway. I called the dealership the next morning to tell them and they wouldn't take the jeep til the following wk to look at it they came up with every excuse in the world. When i brought the jeep in today they had me sign a deductible of 100 dollars but yet when i first test drove the jeep it i told them to fix it but all they did was cleared the codes (flashed the computer) now i have a rejection sticker on the vehicle and no car.
November 24 evening leaving fuji (children in car)november 30 morning on way to work ? hit mailbox (baby in car)december 5 morning on way to work ? dies turning out of subdivision and stalls in middle of street (baby in car) there was one other instance when i had all kids with me?it was prior to nov 24 but i do not recall the actual dateall of the instances the engine stalled, the lights (when on) went out, i lost the ability to steer and brake as well.the mph ranged from 4 or 5 mph to 35 mph.there were times when it was warm and days that it was cold.nothing seemed to standout as a possible "trigger"i took car to dealer after the november 24th incident.tony in the service department said there was really nothing that they could do unless it was a problem they could "make happen" when they drove it.a few days later i wrecked into a mailbox when my jeep stalled and i lost steering and braking capability....i am lucky it was not head on with a large truck or a tree.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander.while driving 30-35 mph, the vehicle shut off without warning.the dealer was unable to duplicate the failure.as of november 5, 2007, the dealer had not repaired the vehicle.the contact stated that the vehicle would not shift correctly and he heard a grinding noise coming from the engine.the dealer stated that the vehicle needed a new transmission.they replaced the transmission.the failure mileage was 3,000 and current mileage was 11,730. The consumer stated a new transmission put in the vehicle and new bearings in the transfer case. The consumer stated a new power steering pump, new brake calipers, and the consumer stated there are still electrical problems with the vehicle. Updated 11/20/07
My 2006 jeep commander has had a number of defects. The most costly has been that it leaks when it rains or goes through a car wash. I have had the sunroof clean out and the problems "fixed" in september but it has begun leaking again.when the vehicle had 38,000 miles on it i had to have the bearings in thedriverside front wheel replaced costing me over 300.00 dollars. My mechanics informed me that the vehicle was to young to be having this part replaced.i'm just currently waiting for something else to go bad on my "young" vehicle.
Purchased new 2006 limited model.windshield leaks, causing water to stand in front floorboards.returned to dealer twice for repair.initially the windshield was re-sealed.second fix was replacement of door gasket.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander.the contact stated that the entire vehicle was flooded with water.the water appeared to have originated from the handrails located on both sides of the windshield.the water leaked into the side of the instrument panel and the speakers.the dealer replaced the amplifier in the rear of the vehicle due to the extensive water damage.the engine size, powertrain, and a valid vin were unknown.the current and failure mileages were 7,368.
Water leak from front windshield which wets the a-frame inside as well as the carpets in the front. Along with this, there is a loud whistling noise that comes from the windshield at 50 mi or higher speed. This is dangerous since it seems there is a gap between the windshield and the frame. The water damage could be happening for months, while the jeep was in the dealer lot too.
I opened my car driver's door one morning to find two inches of rainwater on the floor near the pedals. Unable to find the source, i put my jeep commander in the shop. I was charged for them fixing the leak that never got fixed. I have had everything checked out numerous times & no one can tell me how water gets in. However inconvenient, i am parking my car in parking garages every time it rains now, given there seems to be no other solution. In addition to the leak, my commander's radio/stereo just stopped working. I can't get it to turn on or work & and am now experiencing electrical problems having to do with window controls. After researching my options i learned that too often these same exact problems appear for many if not most commander owners. (i also reported a major problem with this car stalling in it's own complaint.) these problems need to be analyzed by real professionals & the jeep commander must be recalled.
Driver side floor has had approx 1-2 inches of water after raining on multiple occasions. Local jeep dealer said the sunroof drain was clogged. This has never happened while driving, only when the vehicle is parked. It's pretty pricey to have these drains unclogged and from reading all the other complaints about this same problem on edmunds, it is a consistent service that needs done. I am very frustrated because this sounds like a defect on chrysler's part, but nothing has been done about it. When this water floods my floor it stinks in the vehicle. I also notice flies and gnats. I am afraid of mold, dry rot and electrical issues. My radio is going out and i believe the water has something to do with this. I never had problems with the radio until this started. The screen is no longer clear, the gps doesn't work, the uconnect hands free doesn't work properly anymore and the radio randomly changes stations on its own.
Inside doors failing all four are cracked the driver side passenger does not open from the inside. If in an accident they might all fail and then no one will be able to exit the car,if a fire happens or we just need to get out for other reason. We will need to open windows, to open door from outside, which might not be possible if wrecked and windows fail. If replaced and defect is not fixed it dealers will not help and average price as 450.00 dollars per door.when we purchased the jeep in 2008 we not informed of this problem. Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. The contact stated when it rains the water leaked through the bars and the windows. The leak was in the driver and passenger side windows. The entire electrical system also failed including the speedometer and radio. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was not contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 68,048.

2006 jeep commander idling up on its own and engine made a loud noise.*mwthe dealer informed the consumer, the noise was normal for a hemi engine.the consumer was then informed, the problem was the throttle. Also when it rained, the consumer discovered water on the driver's side floor. The dealer was unable to find a leak.
Water leaks into vehicle from door and sunroof.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled numerous times while driving 20 mph and the check engine light illuminated during the failures. The vehicle was taken to a local repair shop, who stated that the failure was due to the pcm. An authorized dealer was notified and stated that the vehicle was not included in the recall associated with nhtsa campaign id number 08v203000 (power train: automatic transmission: control module (tcm, pcm)). The contact also stated that water penetrated the front passenger door handle and soaked the floor. The windows would also not roll up or down. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 30,000 and the current 70,000.
Water leak - left side header from visor to across top of door down driver side pillar, driver side & left rear floor soaked. Sunroof drainage tube at fault.water leak damage has occurred twice in less than 1 year.
Electrical dash board blinks while driving, driver's seat moves while driving, when it rains the driver's floor is soaked with water and passenger side floor is wet as well, vehicle jerks while driving. Indication lights pops on dashboard sporadically, radio and navigation doesn't work.
Sunroof and windshield has leak which caused water damage to my vehicle. I took my vehicle in with all the other defects that are now be discovered with this vehicle and the service people told me it was my fault for not cleaning the tubes near the sunroof. After servicing the jeep the service department discovered the problem still existed. This seems to be an ongoing problem so i now hired an attorney who is very familiar with these problems and has settled numerous settlements for all these defects.
Out of the blue the whole radio/cd/navigation console went out!the radio still works, but only the preset stations and i can only control it from the steering wheel.then i noticed that the air bag light(on instrument panel) is turning on and off and beeping each time.there have also been water issues coming from the sunroof, soaking the floor boards in mainly the passenger side but sometimes also the drivers side.this only happens when the vehicle is parked.
Dt*:the contact stated there was rust on the base of the front seat.the vehicle was taken to the dealer who declared all jeep commanders rust in that manner and did not provide any solution to correct the problem. The manufacturer was contacted and no solution was provided. The weatherstrip on the right rear door did not fit properly and the trim around the radio did not fit as well.updated 08/21/06.
Drivers side and passenger side interior panel has cracked and fallen apart around the handle.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. The contact stated that water was entering the vehicle from an unknown source. The contact was traveling approximately 60 mph when she first discovered the failure. The vehicle was taken to a private repair shop but was not diagnosed for the failure. The contact notified the manufacturer however, no remedy or assistance was offered. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 38,000. The current mileage was 87,000.
Windshield isn't sealed properly which causes a loud whistling noise while driving. Dealer could not fix problem. Further more, the seal problem seems to make the windshield more sensitive to being damaged.
2006 jeep commanderthe ignition key is located at knee height and perpendicular to the dash.i have accidentally turned off the car while driving at least three times. This occurs when moving the right knee side to side. Because the key is horizontally located it rotates with little force if striking the dangling keys with the knee.a proper design would be having the ignition on the steering column, or having a slight superior angle to the key ignition.this is easily reproduced on all commander vehicles.
Vehicle continued stalling while is driven a low rpm.more the 25 times.vehicle was bought with 15, 200 miles.vehicle has now 52, 300.everytime is taken to service the problem was mention to the dealer technician but they can't find the problem.nov 20, 2007 i scratched the left rear fender of the vehicle with a tree while backing up.the vehicle lost power vehicle rolled back and stopped.resting on the side of the tree.pictures were taken of the damages on the vehicle .dealers technician states no problem with the vehicle.second problem backup system.assists the driver to move the vehicle safely,one sensor failed from the bumper mount.two months dealer has not repair the vehicle yet.need to replaced the entire bumper to repaired one sensor.
Cracked and broken door panel behind the door handle, both front doors panels, 5js891d1ag.
Two interior door handles, one at driver position and one rear seat passenger side door, have broken and fail to open the door without great manipulation. I fear for my safety or my passengers safety if i/they should need to exit the vehicle quickly. The doors do not open easily at all!!
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. The contact stated that water was entering the vehicle from the driver side front roof, where the dome light and handle was located on top of each other. The vehicle was taken to the dealer numerous times where they glued the area so that water would not come through and the sun roof was modified. The manufacturer was contacted who offered no assistance. The failure mileage was 100 and the current mileage was 85,000.
Basically the door handle mechanisms disintegrated.the drivers side front and rear door plastic that surrounds the door handles broke into several small pieces and fell inside the door.i feel this is a danger because eventually the cable that opens the doors will break and i will not be able to open the doors.i have checked into having them repaired but it was very expensive due to the fact that the plastic around the handles is 1 piece with the rest of the plastic of the inside of the door.also, although this is not a danger - the display screen for all the of electronics of the car, went black several years ago.i am unable to access a lot of the information about the car.we paid over $43,000 for the car- these things should not happen.the door handle really scares me.i have signed petitions to have this recalled as well as contacted the manufacturer.it seems to be a common problem with this car.thank you
Hi my jeep commander has been in garage most of the time one day it stayed out in the rain and all the water got in the driver side and the electrical system failed radio shut off and on same with the dashboard lights, headlights and interior lights the it would stay on dash service suspension system check gauges the check engine would com on the battery and the oil and the tire pressure and sometimes it wont start the other day it shut off while driving i have 4 kids and im afraid it could happen when they re with me and they could get hurt i called chrysler and they take no responsibility for this problem i'm reporting this to the bbb and to the consumers affairs hopefully someone will help.
Faulty door panels and door handleson 2006 jeep commander , they break and crack easily there are hundreds of people on jeep commander with same issue.
This is not a safety issue. This is a complaint concerning a very well known issue (one for which i have read many other similar complaints) in which the carpet and floor mat for the drivers compartment of my jeep commander are saturated after a hard rain and i am not getting any sound coming out of my stereo (likely due to a short from the water). This appears to be due to a problem with a clogged drainage tube coming from my sunroof.i have had numerous other cars with sunroofs and have never experienced a similar problem. This would appear to be a manufacturing defect issue which should be addressed with a full recall from the manufacturer.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. The contact stated that the front driver's side and both the front and rear passenger's side interior door handles were fractured.the vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis. The technician stated that the door panel would have to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 30,000.
My 2006 jeep commander's roof is rusting.i noticed it in march 2010. I took it to the dealer who said it was because of bird poop and will only pay half the money to get it fixed.it costs $1,600.00.i do not have $800.00.another body shop i took the jeep to said it was rusting from the inside out, therefore i think it is a factory defect and they should replace the roof.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. The contact stated that after exiting the vehicle, the front driver side exterior door handle detached from the door. The contact stated that the remaining exterior door handles became detached on separate occasions. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the manufacturer was contacted. The vehicle was repaired but the vin was unknown. The failure and current mileages were unknown.
In 2009, three years after we purchased our jeep commander, three of the plastic interior door handles on the vehicle broke, making it difficult or impossible to open the vehicle doors from the inside.this is a very well documented problem among owners and dealers for 2006 and 2007 models, and not surprisingly because the housing and hinge are made entirely of plastic, and are very brittle.after a few years of use the plastic starts to crack and then break away, and the inner handle will not function.this is particularly true in tropical climates.this should be an easy fix, but unfortunately in order to replace the handle you need to replace the entire door panel.in puerto rico, the cost of the driver's panel is$747, plus they charge you two hours of labor to install the new panel.it is evident that this is a legitimate safety issued, caused by defective design.apparently chrysler agrees, because in 2008 they changed the interior handle design.however, those of us with 2006 or 2007 models are left with either an existing or expected hazard.even if you have the money to invest into replacing these panels, the flimsy design will not hold up, and you can expect that at any moment the new handles will break again. The defective design of these handles makes them particularly susceptible to being damaged or broken in an accident or emergency situation. It is unconscionable that chrysler has not recalled them, given the inordinate number of complaints with this precise part.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. The contact stated that the front driver and rear passenger's side seat belts failed latch properly. Also, the contact stated that the rear passenger's side interior door handle became fractured. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was advised that the seat belts and the door handles needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 74,000 and the current mileage was 79,000.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. The contact stated that all four interior door handles failed and trapped the passengers. The vehicle was taken to a dealer for diagnosis where the contact was informed that all four door panels needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 70,300.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. The contact stated that the interior rear door handles separated from the door frame. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who advised that the door handles needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 45,000 and the current mileage was 54,000.
The door handle is cheap the plastic piece on three doors has fallen apart. This is a known problem - you are herein notified that failure to mandate a recall will put nhtsa as a liable party to any suit.door will not open caused by inferior faulty design.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. During inclement weather, water leaked through the driver and passenger side windows. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician diagnosed that the tubes on the front windows needed to be repaired. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure persisted. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 82,000. The vin was not provided.
The vehicle will suddenly lose power to the headlights, taillights, instrument panel, speedometer, odometer, and the interior some lights will turn themselves on without cause or warning. In the most recent event, vehicular damage and possible personal injury nearly occurred when driving in the dark, almost striking a utility pole. Also, the automatic window control will not function properly when trying to roll up the window itself. It will stop halfway and bring itself back down. It usually takes 3-4 times to roll the window up. This has occurred numerous times, so many that i can't keep track. The local dealership cannot pinpoint the issue and this vehicle is not safe to be on the road.
Paint on front tip of hood bubbling.took jeep into get painted and they said it was due to water getting between the hood and frame - couldn't fix, and will come back within a year.
1.the vehicle leaks. I suspected it was the the sun roof as that would be the obvious choice. After completely cleaning and testing the drain lines. I now feel like this isthe issue http://xkjeeps.com/tsb/tsb_xk_2305005.pdf.my vehicle has had about 3/4' of water in the floorboard and i have to keep 2 containers of damprid in the vehicle at all times to avoid having a mildew smell. Not to mention that it can't be good for the electronics that run around the base of the car. Considering that they have a repair sheet on it. I feel like they shouldn't charge their customers to repair anything.2. Door handles.all of the door handles of the vehicle are broken except for the drivers side which clearly has a aftermarket fix on it. The cheap plastic used to mount them has cracked and now the door handles just hang. This is a safety issue. It potentially could trap people in the car. I have read about the issues all over the internet yet jeep is trying to make the customers pay $2000 for the door panel replacements. That is completely unacceptable.
The driver and passenger side door handles have gradually cracked and fallen apart so that it is almost impossible to open the door from the inside of the car.this problem has only occurred on the front doors, not the back-seat doors and began gradually back in 2009 - 2010.it has gotten to the point where both handles are falling behind the panel and we are very careful when opening the door now and prohibit us from being able to easily open the front door(s).my family and i have used care when opening the doors and have never used excessive force over the past 4-5 years so there is no logical reason why they have broken the same way on both sides.`
My vehicle paint is "spidering" and cracking on the hood.you wouldn't think this could happen since it sat in a garage for almost a year while i was deployed, i wax it religiously and it is used very little.when talking to the jeep dealer, they make it sound like it is acceptable wear and tear.i think there is a flaw in the paint used for that specific year and possibly manufacturing location.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. The contact stated that the front driver and passenger's side door handles failed. In addition, the instrument panel failed and the contact was not able to determine what speed he was traveling or the amount of gasoline fuel in the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who advised the contact that the instrument cluster needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown, but the current mileage was 57,000.
The interior door handles crack and break: this is safety hazard trap for many consumer because you can't open the door from the inside if in an accident or in an emergency. I have been following this complaint since this vehicle came out on the marketseveral hundred and so far nothing has been to correct this problem. Only having the consumer fix it their selfwhich is very costly to fix. My dealer shop quoted me 500.00 per door and i have 2 that are badly cracked and broken : please consider a recall on the door handles and think of the safely of adults and children . This happens by just opening a door due to poor product select on the manufacturer.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. The contact stated that the front driver, passenger and rear passenger interior door handles were partially detached from the door frame. The failure initially started on the interior driver's side door. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and advised the contact that although they were admitting that there was a defect in the door handles, they would not assist with the repair because he was not the original owner of the vehicle. The approximate failure mileage was 68,000 and the current mileage was 75,000.
Interior door panels(both front doors) at door handles the plastic around handles has cracked and fallen out making the door handle sometimes unstable to open the door. Concerned from a safety standpoint that at some point the doors will not be able to be open from the inside and could be trapped inside in case of an emergency and the option of powering down the window is not possible.
The back passenger interior door handle broke.i feel is it unreasonable to have a working handle to exit a vehicle. Now since my son is older, i am concerned with his ability to exit out safely in an emergency.the poor design creates a safety issue for owners and their passengers.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. The contact stated that the interior plastic door handles for the front driver, front passenger and rear driver's side doors handles became fractured. As a result, sharp plastic shards were exposed. The doors had to be opened using only the exterior door handles. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure.the approximate failure mileage was 50,000 and the current mileage was 71,000. Updated 08/15/13*ljthe consumer was informed it would cost $2,000 to replace the door handles. Updated 08/20/13
My 2006 jeep commander along with many other owners are experiencing cracking of the interior door panel which houses the interior door handles.this results in the interior door handle breaking off, making it impossible to leave the vehicle from the inside.this is a safety concern and jeep is totally not doing the right thing.their solution is to replace the entire door panel at a cost of around $750 per door.the plastic used around the door handle is very thin and obviously a poor design.this should be recalled before someone gets killed.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. The contact stated that while attempting to exit the vehicle, the interior driver and passenger's side door handle partially detached from the door. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis where it was stated the interior door panel needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 82,000. Updated 9/24/13 updated 9/25/2013
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. The contact stated that while attempting to exit the vehicle on several occasions, the interior door handles failed intermittently to unlock the doors. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed nor repaired. Orlando dodge chrysler jeep ram located at 4101 west colonial dr. Orlando, fl 32808 and the manufacturer were notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 90,000.
Vehicle was in motion and car shut down as turning right at street light. Had to restart car.driver side door interior handle is broken. Cannot open door.dash lights do not work, radio volume goes up as you are turning the controls down.frame is rusted...told would be rusted through in another year.car has 125,000 miles on it. I'm the only owner. Normal driving, no off road travel.
My 2006 jeep commander driver's door handles break - 3 of the 4 have broken after nothing but normal everyday use. If you're in a wreck you may not be able to exit the vehicle if the handles are broken.checking the web for consumer's that have had similar problems with the jeep commander door handles breaking and finding out there are hundreds if not a couple thousand that have had the exact same breakage of the door handle operating mechanism. If you take the vehicle to the jeep dealer for repair, they want $600.00 - $800.00 per door to ensure your safety in exiting the vehicle.describing what happens with your vehicle: it is just everyday ordinary operational use as to when the driver or passengers on the inside of the vehicle and "normally "pull" the handle to open the door and exit the vehicle that the handle and handle housing breaks into pieces.this breakage happens to all the door handles (front & rear) in the 2006 jeep commander.
The door handle assembly on the driver side has become brittle causing the unit to break potentially causing the driver to become trapped.this is concerning especially during an emergency.
Apparently there is/was a defect in either the design or production of the door handle assembly in the 2006 jeep commanders.the plastic housing which contains the door opening mechanism becomes too brittle and cracks rendering the opening mechanism inoperable.on my commander all but one door is affected. At the moment, only two out of the four doors work, the front-side passenger and the driver-side rear. If this vehicle was in an accident in which there was a need to exit quickly (fire or water), the lives of my family would be in extreme jeopardy. I posted a video on youtube, and have heard from many other with the same issue. Chrysler jeep produced approximately 80,000 of these vehicles in 2006. I truly believe there are thousands of there jeep commanders on the road with this same issue. In fact the condition is so prevalent; one company is producing an after-market repair kit.please see my video at the following link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffq0oki7zjy.
2 plastic door handles broke.
How many specific incident reports does the nhtsa need before they require chrysler to explain their faulty/defective interior door handles?please review the high number of complaints that point to failure of the 2006 jeep commander's interior door handles and begin the process to require a safety recall.this is not a cosmetic issue.this is a safety issue.the plastic housing that holds the interior door handles is brittle, causing the handle to break, which renders the handle inoperable (from the inside).occupants report having to roll down their window to unlatch the door from the outside.the shear number of complaints (both in your website and on various jeep on-line forums) indicates that this is a major issue that can not be attributed to rough handling.
Safety issue concerning inoperable interior door handles on 2006 jeep commander.over the past three months, all four interior door handle casings have broken making doors difficult or impossible to open from inside the vehicle.
My interior door handles are all broken.if i want to open my door, i have to roll the windows down first.if there is a fire, i will probably die.
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=656as 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.
Electrical issue that is causing all dashboard lights to flicker on and off, heat/air goes on and off, audio center goes on and off all electrical functions go no and off. Dealership blamed my remote starter(which they. Installed) but turned out it wasn't and they have no idea what it is. Say they can't determine what it is unless it is happening when i bring it in. The interior door opening casing crumbles. Already had drivers door fixed because i couldn't open door from inside and was told all doors would eventually have to be done. Doors freeze due to poor drainage. Water collects inside door frame and running board, freezing all doors. If not for the remote starter, wouldn't be able to get in the car at all.
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.
I own a 2006 jeep commander with 78k miles and the driver front and passanger rear doors have shattered behind the handle causing the handle to become usless from the inside. I feel this is a safty issue as no one can exit the vehicle from those door in the event of an emergency. After doing a little research i have found that this problem is not a one time occurance and is happening more and more often. The cost to replace the whole door panel is well over $600.00 each and that from my understanding is the only fix to this little cheap piece of plastic breaking. Lets hope this is fixed before some one is hurt or killed.
When i bought my 2006 jeep commander from burns motors i did not notice that the driver door handle (plastic cup where handle goes) was cracked. Sure enough when my husband was driving he leaned his knee on the door and there was a loud pop and handle cupcame off in about 3-4 pieces. I then noticed that the passenger door handle cup was also cracked, so within a few months it came off in several pieces too. Now with about 2 years with this vehicle, i have all 4 door handles broken. I have also gotten an estimate at the dealership when i took it for service and got an estimate of about 1,200 for 2 doors only. I have also check for parts online and you need to a door to get this piece which ranges from 600 to 1000 dollars for 1 door. Now i am starting to get very concerned for the safety issues since i have 3 kids and wouldn't even what to think, what would happen if i needed to get out in case of an emergency. I have also had my passenger companions find it very frustrating to open from outside or wait for someone to open door for them. There should be a safety recall since we are a lot of customers with the same issue and nothing has been done from chrysler company. Thanks for taking the time to read my concern. Greatly appreciated and hope something gets done to help the many customers like me that are concern about their safety.
2006 jeep commander all 4 door handles are all broken and difficult to pry open started around 75000 miles. Numerous similar complaints on different jeep sites. Jeep has not issued any recall regarding this unsafe situation.

The failure mileage was 70,000. The vin was not available.
The passenger side rear interior door handle casing cracked causing the door being unable to open from the inside.a few months later, the same issue came about with the driver's side front door; however i am able to open the door if i angle it correctly and with several attempts.this is very concerning as, in my opinion, it is a safety issue.if an emergency were to happen, my children or myself would not be able to exit the vehicle immediately.i have spoken with jeep and they stated they are not aware of any problem and would need to replace the entire door panels.

The interior door handle casing cracked and completely crumbled. It is nearly impossible to open the door from the inside because of this. A quick google search shows that it is a prevalent problem and not an issue caused by normal wear. This can be a serious hazard if the driver needs to exit the vehicle quickly and cannot access another door or roll down the window to open it from the outside.
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.
A few months ago the interior door trim on the drivers side front door shattered around the door handle. The door handle still releases the door but you need to wiggle it around a bit and get it aligned properly before being able to open the door. Not driving the vehicle often and thinking it was just a small, easily replaced part i did not take it too seriously. It was only when i looked into it, realized it was the whole door panel and saw that so many other owners were having the same problem that i decided to report it. As a firefighter, and having responded to fatal car fires, i would hate to think of what may happen if someone was to be in an accident and had to get out of their vehicle quickly but couldn't because they could not afford to fix this issue which costs in excess of $500 per door.
All door handles are broken and have become in operable from the inside of the vehicle. Also when starting the jeep it will run for a few seconds and then shut off. After starting you can shift to drive and it puts you in drive 3 them it will quit. When u start and it shift into drive the jeep will remain running.

The plastic panel of the interior door (driver's side) cracked by the door handle. One day i pulled the interior door handle, the crack in the panel grew and pieces crumbled and fell into the door. Then the handle fell into the door. Now the only way to open the door is to lower the window and open it from outside. This is a major safety issue, and i apparently am not the only one.

I have randomly chosen an incident date as i am not sure of the exact date the door handles caved in. When the first handle caved in i thought my daughter pushed to hard to open the door and that it could be repaired by simply replacing the handle.as the months and years have gone all four door handles have caved in.and i have been informed that the entire panel must be replaced for each to repair.i am appalled and shocked that jeep has not recalled these doors.this is certainly a safety hazard.it is so expensive to repair as well. I am always concerned for any passenger as those in the rear are totally unable to open the doors from the inside.and the driver's door is just about in that state.i will say any day now.but i am moreso afraid now that i have a grandson whose seat is located in the back.what if something happens and the person sitting in the back with him can't him or themselves out.please advise as to what or how jeep can be forced to protect us! it is my understanding through internet research that jeep restructured the door design 2008 and beyond to alleviate this safety hazard.please advise as i am so fearful of some catastrophic event taking place.

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.

Jeep commanders share a faulty interior door handle assembly problem. The shape of the handle may be different in each model, however the problem is with the incorrect resin mix which results in a brittle and crumbling material causing failure just the same. This is obviously a manufacturer?s defect, however it?s a fault that is not covered under jeep?s warranty. There?s no recall or service bulletin. Until recently, the only fix was replacing the entire door panels. Chrysler designed the interior door panels on the jeep commander in such a way that the entire door panel had to be replaced rather than just the door handle. The interior door handle is plastic welded at certain points from the backside of the door panel.
The interior door handle housings on all 4 doors are broken. As a result, it is very difficult to open the door handles from the inside. In order to exit the vehicle, one must use the exterior handles. Jeep indicated replacement of the entire interior door panel is required to fix at a cost of $800 per panel.this is a safety issue preventing quick egress from the vehicle in the event of an accident and is a common, known issue with these vehicles.when the driver door handle housing broke, the sharp plastic cut my hand, causing it to bleed.subsequently, i have cut my hand again more than once on the sharp, broken plastic door handle housing.

As i was driving on the central florida greeneway, my sunroof and bracket blew from the car. Estimated speed - 65 mph. The electric sunroof was in the closed position. Suddenly, the glass sunroof blew from the car and half the bracket came unassembled.
Every single door handle in the jeep broke under normal use somewhat able to open from inside, but a very big safty hazards when my kids or passengers cannot open the door from the inside. Kinda scary when you think about it. Slightly after revieving my used jeep one door handle after the other breaks upon bumping into handle.
I've noticed that my jeep is a money hungry machine. I bought it because i had previously owned a jeep cherokee lmt and needed something bigger and safer to haul around the boys i nanny. I bought it thinking i would have it for awhile. I have reported several safety and hazardous problems to nhtsa already. I have another complaint now. I have three rather large rust spots around my rear license plate on the tail gate. They have a warranty for rust up to 100,000 miles. I took it in to get repaired because i have 94,000 miles and they wont fix it because they state that it needs to be rusted through. I have not foundin any form that it needs to be rusted through but they still wont fix it. The paint on both bumpers are peeling off and both have large black spots from the bumper being exposed. They wont help fix any of this. I am going to have to paint the entire thing which is going to be a very expensive out of pocket expense. I bought this jeep thinking it's american made and i should stick with them. Quite frankly they have the worse costumer service of anyone i have been. I want to just get rid of the vehicle but they messed me over on my interest rate and my loan is still huge. I have refinanced and got with a company that treats me like a person. Chrysler also messed up my credit rating by reporting that i went months without payment. I paid them and have disputed my credit. Chrysler i realize were going into bankruptcy at the time of my vehicle purchase but that's no way to treat paying customers. My next vehicle will be a foreign for sure. Im sick and tired of paying all these expenses when i picked an expensive vehicle so this wouldn't happen. It just sucks being in and out of shops, running up bill and not getting anything fixed, and being without a vehicle. Please look into all these complaints...... Alot on here i have experienced with mine, i will continue to leave complaints. It is very time consuming to constantly be doing it.
The door handle on my jeep commander is cracking. My son went to open his door and his fingers got caught on the crack part of the door handle and we could not get his fingers out without him suffering.
Takata recallas i was driving my car on the four lane my car started to have white rubber smelling smoke fill the car and all my dash lights went crazy, my radio kicked off and my speakers and my turn signals quit working. I started to panic and stopped on the side of the rode. I had my kids in the car so i first removed my children then tried to find the problem. At this point my car was completely full of smoke n it like as if it was burning down.my wiring in the cars passenger side rear floor board had caught on fire ! the fire burnt through my floor and my floor mats. I almost choked to death on the smoke and had to take the battery out of the car to kill the power and dump water on the floor.
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.
3 of 4 door handles now broken - serious safety issue.

Approximately 40 miles from home, on a day with the temperature well below zero degrees fahrenheit, we rolled our front windows down to talk to our neighbors, who were shopping at the same mall as us.after visiting with them, our windows would not roll back up.our family had to drive in freezing weather back home, on a sunday, with the windows rolled down.on the way, by rapidly depressing the windows lock button, while my wife repeatedly pulled up on the front passenger window switch, we got her window to roll up.we never could get the drivers front window to roll up.i replaced the master switch assembly on the drivers door panel, but that did not help.the dealership told me that i probably have multiple broken wires in the wire bundle in the door hinge area.jeep has not, to my knowledge, addressed this problem at all.the internet forums are chock-full of hundreds and hundreds of consumers that have had, and are having this same problem.

Commander xk jeep faulty/weak interior door panel2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010a problem with jeep commander ownersthe interior door panels circular plastic/chrome door handle snaps/breaks out resulting in the interior door handle drops behind the panel and unable to open the door from inside on all 4 doors. Problem is that the pin and all the mechanism is mounted on the door panel itself. I need the tsb to repair as the dealer says to repair they must replace entire door panels at my cost, when obviously a weak design failure for all commanders 2006 to 2010.today june 2011 and the problem affects 2006 to 2010, the jeep dealers do not have a recall for the failure. The drivers door broke in 2007 and the passenger door broke in 2008 and now the right rear door panel is cracked and breaking out around the interior door handle.
My wife exited the car on the front passenger side on august 22 and noticed the door handle had shattered.she wasn't rough and didn't abuse it in any way.that door may be opened 2-3 times a week.it's a 2006 jeep commander with 70000 miles.now the door has to be extremely gently opened in fear that it may break.chrysler has acknowledged that it is an inferior design but still wants to charge anywhere from 600-900$ to repair it with the same weak design.i have a 3 year old son, and fear that in an emergency situation the other handles may fail leaving him and anyone else trapped inside.i feel chrysler has no choice but to replace the door panels with a better design.this is a major safety issue that involves thousands of people.
Basically the door handle mechanisms disintegrated.the drivers side front and rear door plastic that surrounds the door handles broke into several small pieces and fell inside the door.i feel this is a danger because eventually the cable that opens the doors will break and i will not be able to open the doors.i have checked into having them repaired but it was very expensive due to the fact that the plastic around the handles is 1 piece with the rest of the plastic of the inside of the door.also, although this is not a danger - the display screen for all the of electronics of the car, went black several years ago.i am unable to access a lot of the information about the car.we paid over $43,000 for the car- these things should not happen.the door handle really scares me.i have signed petitions to have this recalled as well as contacted the manufacturer.it seems to be a common problem with this car.thank you
2006 jeep commander. Interior door handles have broken on my jeep which do not allow a passenger to exit the car. Potentially very dangerous.there has been no recall on the door handles and the owner has to pay for the repair which is about $550. Per door.
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.
Interior door handle base shattered, making handle inoperable and creating dozens of sharp shards of brittle plastic in the passenger compartment. Drivers door cannot be opened from inside the car.
The door handle has completely broken off the driver's side door.there was no abuse to this door at all. I have searched for a replacement part and the design requires that the entire door panel be replaced.this was changed the following model year as chrysler knew it was a major defect. This appears to be a very common problem for owners of this year & model of jeep.
On the 2006 jeep commander the area behind the door handles very easily breaks causing the handle to go up in to the door preventing it from opening. In the event of an emergency with the need to get out of the car fast you would not be able to exit. The only fix is replacing the entire door panel with is over $500. But the problem would not be fixed since it would just be putting the exact door panel back on. 3 of my door panels are either broken or cracked. I've found website where lots of people with this same year model have the exact same problem. My jeep has not been mistreated. The plastic behind the handle broke in to many pieces when i just went to open the door.
Driver door handle back panel cracked then broke without physical damage being done to it. Jeep commander 2006.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. The contact stated that all four interior door handles detached from the vehicle causing the handles to separate from the door frame.

Front and back door handles break under not much use.they are plastic and believe this is a design and material flaw.when they break, the only way to exit the vehicle is to roll down the window and reach outside and open the door or to exit through another door.this has happened twice to me and from speaking with others, it seems this is a common problem.what makes it worse is that jeep does not sell just a replacement handle.they make you buy an entire interior door panel at $600+ to fix not including labor.my fear is that this is not just an inconvenience, but a major potential safety problem.i would encourage nhtsa to investigate and would recommend a fix and ultimate recall.this is very dangerous, particularly if you are in an accident situation.
Faulty interior door handle assembly problem the problem is with the incorrect resin mix which results in a brittle and crumbling material causing failure just the same. This is obviously a manufacturer defect, however its a fault that is not covered under jeep warranty. The only fix was replacing the entire door panels. Chrysler designed the interior door panels on the jeep commander in such a way that the entire door panel had to be replaced rather than just the door handle. The interior door handle is plastic welded at certain points from the backside of the door panel.i understand 2008 models had a door handle redesign so they obviously knew of this problem. Thank you for any assistance you can provide.
Broken interior driver side door handle. Unable to exit because of issue. This is a safety issue. What if i needed to exit if there was a fire, or accident, or even a flood.
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 interior door handles brake (crumble). Passengers in the vehicle cannot get out of the vehicle because the handle is not locked into place properly.
One interior door handle (right rear) was broken when i purchased the vehicle, rendering the interior door handle inoperable. Within two months, my left rear handle broke in a similar fashion (crunching sound under light use).the interior handle 'cup' shattered in approximately 12 pieces, rendering that door handle inoperable. The driver's front shows several large cracks, and the passenger front shows 2 cracks. All have been rebuilt/reinforced using an epoxy stick. Jeep unwilling to assist as a defect. I am highly concerned that this could cause an inability to egress in an emergency situation.
Behind the interior door handle, the housing of the door panel shattered and i couldn't get out of the car without lowering the window and grabbing the outer door handle and opening it from the outside.
All four of my door handles cracked and broke out within the same year. It scratches you or catches your fingers in them.i have to open the doors in the back for whomever is in the vehicle. This is extremely unsafe! if i have an accident my back passenger could possible be trapped inside the vehicle.
All of the door handles/openers on all (4) doors are defective caused from normal usage on very poor plastic material that gets brittle after a while.this is a huge safety concern considering that under the right circumstances no one would be able to exit the vehicle in an emergency. I have read were a jeep commander like mine has wrecked into a body of water and all of the windows shorted out and the person could not exit the vehicle and died. Please handle this matter correctly before there are any more deaths. Thank you.
On my 2006 jeep commander the inside door handles break and you can't open the doors without reaching outside and using the outside handles. If this isn't a safety issue that i see hundreds others have typed in jeep forums then i don't know what is. Hopefully we don't have a crash and can't get out of a burning jeep or go into water.also see how several jeep owners have posted utube videos on this safety issue. You call chrysler and they tell you 500 to 600 a door handle to fix. Please look into this matter before some one loses a loved one. I can email photos if you want them.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. The contact stated that the rear passenger side interior door handles were cracked and could not be utilized to open the doors. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 94,000.
Windshield easily cracks. Door handles is wobbly and then cracks and falls out of panel.
The interior door opening casing crumbles into pieces. Jeep know about the faulty design and actually redesigned this component in 2008. To replace the door handle, the entire door panel must be replaced - at approximately $800 per door just for parts. This item should have been recalled because it creates a safety issue for people trying to exit the vehicle in an emergency.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. The contact stated that all four door handles were fractured. The contact also stated that the vehicle stalled and only shifted into third gear. Additionally, water leaked from the sun roof causing the passenger side floor to become wet. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was not available.
All interior handles are cracked or broken, should there be an accident or fire,the occupants may not be able to exit the car, this is a common problem in most commanders. Chrysler is well aware of this , they should recall the jeeps and correct the problem< before people get killed.
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 notfound 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
Like many other consumers that own this vehicle, the driver's side interior door handle housing cracked and broke. This creates a significant safety issue.
The interior door handles are all cracked and 1 out of the 4 works. I have to crawl over the console to exit the vehicle! i am not the only 2006 jeep commander with this design flaw, many have exactly the same problem as i do! chrysler does not want to correct the problem they created. I understand 2008 models had a door handle redesign so they obviously knew of this problem. Thank you for any assistance you can provide. This is a major safety concern in the event of wreck, fire, or if you drove into high water. How do you get out of the vehicle quickly...dukes of hazard style?! come on chrysler!
Both the front and rear drivers side door handles broke and you have to roll down the windows to get out of the vehicle.the handles are made of cheap plastic and break easy by normal use.this is a safety hazard that could potentially cost someone their lives.jeep wants around $1200.00 to fix the problem but i believe they should fix this safety issue for free and recall the jeeps affected.
The interior door handles are cracked and 1 out of the 4 is broken so that the door can not be opened from the inside of the car. Only 1 is intact but the other 2 are barely working.this is a major safety concern in the event of wreck, fire, or if you drove into high water.
All four door handles have fallen apart, first by the door panel cracking and giving way, then the handle assemblies fell to pieces over time. My daughter recently cut her hand trying to open the door from the inside, and the only way to exit the vehicle is to roll the windows down and open the door from the outside handles. In my particular case, the 2 rear window motors have failed, so the rear passengers are trapped until someone up front lets them out. This is a serious safety issue for all passengers in the event of an emergency requiring a quick exit from the vehicle. The entire door panel is required to be replaced in order to fix this issue, quotes are about $600 per panel. This should be an expense borne by the manufacturer.
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.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. The contact stated that while driving in inclement weather at approximately 35-45 mph, an elk crashed into the front end of the vehicle.the driver and passenger side air bags both failed to deploy. The passenger seated in the front seat sustained injuries to the back and head. The contact sustained injuries to the neck and back.the manufacturer was contacted and advised that the elk did not impact the vehicle in the area of the air bag sensors therefore, the air bags did not deploy. The contact stated that the air bag was defective and that the air bag warning light was illuminated prior to the crashed.the vehicle was destroyed. A police report was filed of the incident. . the vehicle was destroyed.the failure and current mileage was 114,000. Updated 12/12/12updated 12/21/2012
Interior door handle housing on all 4 doors becomes extremely brittle and cracks.when this happens the door handles become unusable from inside while parked.to exit the vehicle one must use external handle to easily open the door when stopped.after breakage, doors tend to open with pressure, from leg, on the handle while car is moving.replacement of the entire interior door panel is require to fix.
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.
All interior door handles have broken and car cannot be opened from the inside.
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.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. While the vehicle was parked, all the internal door handles fractured. The contact had to roll the windows down in order to open the doors from the outside. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the door panels and latches needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 84,000.
We own a 2006jeep commander . Took real good care of this car. It only has 40,000 miles on it and all four of the door panel have broke i mean into pieces3 to the point the door latch has dropped down. The first one was when i just shut the door and then notice a crack,and then the rest did the same thing i an concern about my grandkids in the back,if they needed to exit in a hurry they could not. It takes a few minutes to get the latch just right to open the door. We also have had to have the rear end fixes twice. Roaring noise. Eep does not seem to want to do anything about this problem. So don't buy a jeep. A bad fault in car design.
I have a 2006 jeep commander 4x4 and all the interior door handles are broken. This is dangerous because i have three kids that sit in the backseats and when it is time to exit the vehicle they cant get the doors to open. I have to work with my door handle to get it to open and then go to their door to open it. This is extremely dangerous because on all but one door u can only exit out when someone opens the doors from the outside.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. The contact stated that the front driver side interior door fractured. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and was told that the entire door panel would need to be replaced. The contact also stated that the front passenger side window regulator failed and would not remain closed. The failure mileage was 46,533.
All 4 interior door opening handles breaking/failing: 1 rear door totally inoperable. ***this is a dangerous safety issue if handles break or are inoperable in certain emergency situations, passengers may not be able to exit the vehicle, causing serious injury or death!*** manufacturer charge to replace/repair handles is prohibitively expensive: in my case, the cost of six (6) monthly car payments! manufacturer safety recall warranted!
Two door handles broke and i was unable to open doors, the plastic shattered in pieces. I had to get out by the passenger side. I love jeep but this is simply junk!
Since december 2012,i now have 2 defective {broken} interior door handles, both rear passenger & now driver!! i do childcare and it is my responsibility to transport children to & from school. When i realized the first handle was broken,it was when i was taking the children to school.the little girl got out of the truck, went to shut the door and it bounced back at her.i pulled over thinking the seatbelt was in the way.here is was the door handle from the inside,broken, not even allowing the door to shut!i had to rig the handle so that it would close the door! on 3/26/13 my husband was driving & heard a noise,he looked down and the driver side broke! not even being touched. To get out, i have to put the window down,reach out & open by the exterior handle. Please explain to me how this is safe!?!?!...if my car were to be in an accident and god forbid the electric didn't work, how the hell am i getting out. Or my passengers!!! use the other two doors that will most likely bust soon!?! i can't imagine that jeep cannot afford a recall to fix this.would jeep rather correct this or spend millions of $$$ in lawsuits god forbid any deaths should occur.this is the last thing that should go wrong before the vehicle goes to the graveyard. Obviously this is a defect on jeep's end b/c this is happening to jeep commander owners from all over the country!! jeep needs to stand by their product and put out a recall on this hazardous vehicle that we are driving.it's a sharp looking vehicle. If jeep wants a good rep and their drivers/passengers safe, then we as jeep commander owners insist on a recall!! i know there are a lot of us out here.if there weren't, why would another company develop and market an "after-market" fix? if it was just a few of us, it wouldn't make business sense to do so.
Physical deterioration and detachment of the inner door handle mechanisms on 2006 jeep commander. Through normal wear, the rear driver side inner door handle physically failed fully. Through normal wear the front driver side inner door handle has started to fail beginning with the recessed plastic portion directly behind the door handle becoming detached and separating along what appear to be stress lines. It appears that this will shortly lead to the full failure of the door handle from the inside of the vehicle making exit from the vehicle infeasible without access to the outer door handle.
The rear driver's side door handle became inoperable due to the breakage of the door panel.all of the panels have cracked and some of the plastic has fallen into the door cavity.the door handles are loose and now the rear driver's side is completely inoperable.in a case of any emergency that required exiting the vehicle, the passenger in this seat will not be able to get out.i suspect that all the doors will eventually have the same problem.i have seen multiple complaints regarding this issue.someone needs to hold chrysler accountable.
We own a 2006 jeep commander and have failing interior door handles that are preventing our family from exiting and entering the vehicle on demand. For safety reasons this problem could lead to the death of anyone riding in the vehicle and is involved in an accident, stalled vehicle or other event. Because of the faulty design the entire panel has to be replaced and is quite costly($500 + each). I do not feel this burden should be placed on jeep owners simply because of the bad design. I would suggest a recall of these door panels before a law suit is brought against the people or design and manufacture of these panels. I do have an extended warranty to 100,000 miles and paid to have the highest plan i can have and these still are not covered. I implore you to please search the internet see all the loyal jeep owners and recall these panels before jeep is no longer a trusted name.
All interior door handles have broken. Cannot get out of vehicle from inside. Have to be opened from outside. This is a major safety hazard.
We had the driver door handle break and called chrysler because there are so many complaints on the internet about this. We were advised to take it to a dealer and have it looked at and a report made. We did that and also had pictures taken and sent with the report to chrysler, our case # 22652678 was filed. At the time 2 other door handles were showing cracks. We were turned down for a repair even though it is a safety issue. Since that time 2 more handles broke. 2 can not be opened from the inside. We were told they would consider discounting the repair to 1300.00 per door. If they have such a bad design and plastic parts you would think an honorable company would do the recall and repair. We now have a dangerous car with no way to exit in an emergency. At our age we can not be jumping over consoles and seats to exit the car. Our children have been advised to sue if anything happens because chrysler does not want to correct the problem they created. I understand 2008 models had a door handle redesign so they obviously knew of the problem. Thank you for any assistance you can provide.
The plastic inserts that the door mechanism connects to has failed and broken on all 4 doors, in this case the door opened on the highway with no injuries.however when i reported it to jeep they told me it was due to extreme wear caused by me, it's only me and my wife in our house no kids so the back doors have not been used.yet they have the same problems.jeep is happy to fix this at a cost of $2600.when i did some searching online, i found a few websites dedicated to this problem.sometimes you can't get out of the car, what if their was a fire?
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. The contact stated that all the interior door handles fractured and detached from the vehicle.as a result, the contact had to use the window to exit the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the door handles need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.
The door handles began to fall apart creating a hazard. Some of the doors do not open just the drivers for now. I have looked on forums and noticed that this has happened to other owners with the same model. In addition, theback passenger side window rolls up and down on occasion and gets stuck.
Rear driver side interior door handle shattered when door handle was pulled. Door handled was pulled on by an 8-year old female without excessive force. 15jun2013, driver door handle shattered when attempt to open was made, again without excessive force. If vehicle is vehicle is in a collision where electrical system fails and there is a fire, likelihood of occupant survival is low.
The door handles where you open and close the door have completely shattered in to pieces by just opening and closing the door normally.i am unable to exit my car properly because the drivers side handle is completely shattered and will not open. I am unable to exit my car without crawling across the seat due to the handle completely crumbling and now other door i use to get out has started to crumble.one of the back doors is starting to break as well and they tell me it will cost over 2800.00 to repair. I don't have that kind of money to fix a door handle.i'm afraid i'm in danger if i have to exit my car in a hurry or my daughter or a riding guest.it's horrible that it just cracks like nothing and they wont take any responsibility. I cannot just open my door and get out of my car. They all being broken is one thing and i believe obviously a flaw on jeeps part, but not being able to get out of my car is dangerous.
Interior door handles/cup are made with brittle resin and fracture easy. With a broken cup the handle dangles in the door making exit very difficult without emergency repair. The repair requires the entire interior door panel to be replaced at a cost of $800 per door. Prior to warranty expiring one door was repaired, however 2 more door handles are now broken. This is a common issue with jeep products and should have triggered a safety recall.
2006 jeep commander 3 out of 4 interior door handles broken due to poor design in my opinion. Was told by the dealer it was caused by abuse or normal wear and tear. Both rear doors and the drivers door are broken the rear doors are hardly ever used so it isn't from wear and tear or abuse. Im afraid if in a collision i would not be able to open the doors from the inside if i had to get out in a hurry.from looking at forums on the web im finding out it is a wide spread problem. In order to correct the problem each door panel must be replaced.chrysler has not redesigned the handles so in a couple of years they will have the same problem.
My son tried to open the passenger door and found it would not open due to a broken panel around the door latch handle. I also find that other door latches are experiencing the same problem and find that a person could become trapped in the vehicle. The drivers door latch is about to fail also at this time. I have not replaced the parts as yet and find that this is an ongoing problem with these vehicles.
2006 jeep commander.consumer writes in regards to three door handles broke within a period of a month..
The inside door handle is broken. All four or the door handles are broken. The door will not open from the inside.i have many people online say that their jeeps have done the same thing. My girl friend has even cut her hand do to the sharp edges when it breaks. In case of a fire or something we would be trapped inside the jeep. I would think the jeep company would recall these trucks but they won't fix the problem.
Similar to most other complaints, all interior door handle housings are severely fractured.driver side housing is so badly damaged that the handle requires a precise method in order to open it.my sister-in-law owns the jeep commander as well, same problem.cost of repair (ie you are required to replace the entire panel for around $800) does not make any economic sense.this is undoubtedly a major safety issue in the event of an accident or worse, a roll over.seeing that everyone who owns the commander has this same complaint, how has this not been recalled???
I purchased a 2006 jeep commander last year.i have had the following items replaced on my jeep front passenger interior door panel.strange noise coming from my car that sounded like playing cards in bike tires ended with replacing front axel ring and pinion.car kept popping out of gear the entire gear shift was replaced. My passenger window had to be fixed it kept sticking halfway up. I had a problem where my car kept stalling.i was told the first time that no error appears on the computer and jeep knew of no issue with cars stalling so maybe it was bad gas.it died several more times and finally they did replace a part inside the idol.i also had an issue where my headlights kept turning off as i drove or would flash on and off.they replaced the headlight switch. I have had the rubber stripping from my back driver side window come off and now it is occurring on the passenger side. From the beginning i have told them i do not feel my transmission is working properly that it shifts hard and when i shift from reverse to drive there is a big hesitation.i have been told no error is appearing on computer and that jeep as usual has no known issues so they had no suggestions.once again they thought it was a gas issue moving from winter to summer blend.the last time i had it in when it was stalling i told them it the transmission was still hesitating and would make a pop noise at times then it would go.it is still occurring and at times the car acts like it might not shift into drive.i am satisfied with how my dealership is working with me they are doing their best to help me.i blame jeep/chrysler all you have to do is search the web to see that there are so many others just like me with the exact same issue.they need to recall these cars now and if they can not find the problem then replace them for us.
On my 2006 jeep commander, 3 out of the 4 interior door handles are broken.the plastic on the doors first began to crack, producing holes in the handle cut-out.now the interior handles move up and down, and if not situated properly, prevent you from entering or exiting the vehicle.obviously, this is a safety concern for every passenger in the car.after doing online research, it appears that this is a pervasive problem.the dealership informed me that the whole door panel needs replacing at an approximate cost of $500 per panel and is not covered under my extended warranty.they suggested i look online for replacements and they would happily install them.
There are no events leading up to the failure, other than normal opening and closing of doors.i have a 2006 jeep commander and the door handles are cracking and breaking off.the front passenger door handle is completely broken and my daughter can not open the door unless she opens the window and uses the outside door handle.the driver side back passenger door has now done the same thing.the driver door handle is now cracking and i am afraid it will do the same thing.the car only has 51,000 miles on it and it is very dangerous that if the car were to wreck and power windows couldn't be used, my passengers would be unable to get out.
The interior door handles easily break inside of the jeep commanders.if it does break, getting out of the car in an accident or other emergency may not be possible.
The driver and passenger side door handles have gradually cracked and fallen apart so that it is almost impossible to open the door from the inside of the car.this problem has only occurred on the front doors, not the back-seat doors and began gradually back in 2009 - 2010.it has gotten to the point where both handles are falling behind the panel and we are very careful when opening the door now and prohibit us from being able to easily open the front door(s).my family and i have used care when opening the doors and have never used excessive force over the past 4-5 years so there is no logical reason why they have broken the same way on both sides.`
2006 jeep commander.....door handles and door handle rosette have failed on the drivers door and the rear passengers door.the materials used for this door handle assembly have failed due to normal wear and tear. The plastic appears to be very very thin. This now poses a serious safety issue with exiting the driver side front door and the passenger side rear door. About 6 months after i bought the jeepon the front drivers side door...a small hole (1/4") appeared in the center of the plastic door handle rosette.i was told by the dealership that this was due to abuse. Now after three years i see that many many people have had the exact same problem.oh by the way my 5 year old granddaughter used the rear passenger door one day, after which we first noticed the broken door handle and handle rosette there. I have duct tape covering the hole and holding the door handle in a position that makes the door operable.this is a safety hazard that chrysler jeep needs to address.final insult.the dealer that i bought the jeep commander from was closed by chrysler.
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 isnot 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.
The interior door handles were poorly designed and have all cracked only after a short period of time with normal use.this is a safety issue due to the fact that passengers would have difficulty exiting vehicle in emergency situations.i understand this is common problem in this vehicle. I've read numerous similar complaints from other owners.chrysler does seem to want recognize this as manufacturing/design flaw, which is unfortunate since it is rather costly to replace the door handles.to replace all four would cost $2,000 plus dollars.please do something to protect the customers, who deserve better.
The interior door handles molding cracks and breaks off.i have one on drivers side that still functions but passenger side is total none working unless you roll window down and open from outside.this makes for a safety hazard, not being able to get out of the vehicle.
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.
The thin plastic housing for the door handles on the 2006 jeep commander have both cracked, fallen apart and fallen into the door. Now i continue to get scratched and cut on the pieces that remain. After reviewing online post, it is apparent that this is a defective part.
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?
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. The contact stated that the four interior door handles became fractured and exhibited severe cracks. In addition, the front passenger's side door would not allow the occupant to exit the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was unavailable. Djr
1. Normal use of the vehicle.2. The inner door handles break and you cant exit the vehicle.3. The only current solution is to replace the entire oem door panel for every door. The door handle is plastic and is molded into the door panel so there is no easy way to repair it without replacing the whole panel at a very large expense.unfortunately the replacement door panels are the same design so it is only a matter of time before they fail also.my fear is that in a time of crisis one or all of the doors could fail to open.below was sent to chrysler.comthere is a major design flaw with the inner door handles on the jeep commander.the housing is entirely made of plastic and is very brittle.after a few years of use the plastic starts to crack then break away and the inner handle will not function.in order to replace the handle you are forced to replace the entire inner door panel.part 5js891d1ag for the drivers door.as you can imagine purchasing theentire oem panel for each door is ungodly expensive but necessary if you and your family actually want to exit the vehicle without having to go "dukes of hazard" and climb out.the replacement panels are in no way improved from the original design so it is only a matter of time that they will break as well in the same manner.i am very concerned for my family that they will not open the door in a time of need.i am a member of several online forums and this is a known issue with several commander owners.from what i have found the jeep liberty has the exact same issue....poor design.
Physical deterioration and detachment of the inner door handle mechanisms on 2006 jeep commander. Through normal wear, the rear driver side inner door handle physically failed fully. Through normal wear the front driver side inner door handle has started to fail beginning with the recessed plastic portion directly behind the door handle becoming detached and separating along what appear to be stress lines. It appears that this will shortly lead to the full failure of the door handle from the inside of the vehicle making exit from the vehicle infeasible without access to the outer door handle.
The inside door handle of the right rear passenger seat broke loose preventing the occupant from exiting the car. Three months later, the inside door handle of the left rear passenger seat broke loose in the same manner. Now the driver's inside door handle is cracked and doomed to fail. Without these handles functioning properly, it is impossible to egress the vehicle without being let out by someone outside the car or by lowering the window and awkwardly using the outside handle. Very dangerous.
Got a 2006 jeep commander defected door panels door knob has fallen off on two doors such a safety issue ever had a fire or was to hav a accident in water would be screwed not cool and why is jeep being made so cheap these days days never seen such cheap plastics like this vehicle was made of should have stayed with toyota please help us fix this issue thanks.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. The contact stated that while driving 10 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who was unable to diagnose the failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 21,128 and the current mileage was 84,000.updated 08/28/12*ljupdated 09/24/2012
The interior door handles have all, but one shattered. The last incident, causing a deep cut to a 10 year old child's hand. This is the third handle to break. The risk of injury to my family, due to not being able to get out of the vehicle after an accidenthas significantly increased because of thisdefect.
Interior door panels(both front doors) at door handles the plastic around handles has cracked and fallen out making the door handle sometimes unstable to open the door. Concerned from a safety standpoint that at some point the doors will not be able to be open from the inside and could be trapped inside in case of an emergency and the option of powering down the window is not possible.
I have 2006 jeep commander that front driver side and rear passenger side door handle housing has cracked and broken. I am concerned if during accident if other2 doors will break and won't have a way out of car.
I own a 2006 jeep commander.in less than one year all four of my vehicle doors have cracked and broken beyond recognition.pieces have fallen from the doors, and the lever mechanisms work only half the time.most of the time the doors have to be opened from the outside, by another passenger.i feel that this is a saftey issue.each time that we attempt to exit the vehicle, it is very difficult to open the doors.if we should have an emergency, we will not be able to exit the vehicle.i have taken the car in for recall information, but i have never received a recall.each time that i have talked to a dealer, they have stated that no recalls are on file.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. The vehicle was parked and shut off when the contact opened the front driver side door from the inside; the plastic material behind the door handle suddenly fractured. The same failure occurred on the front passenger side door. The door could no longer be opened from the interior. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer but the vehicle was not inspected or repaired. The failure mileage was unknown and the current mileage was 68,000.
There are no events leading up to the failure, other than normal opening and closing of doors.i have a 2006 jeep commander and the door handles are cracking and breaking off.the front passenger door handle is completely broken and my daughter can not open the door unless she opens the window and uses the outside door handle.the driver side back passenger door has now done the same thing.the driver door handle is now cracking and i am afraid it will do the same thing.the car only has 51,000 miles on it and it is very dangerous that if the car were to wreck and power windows couldn't be used, my passengers would be unable to get out.
Two door handles broke and i was unable to open doors, the plastic shattered in pieces. I had to get out by the passenger side. I love jeep but this is simply junk!
Dt*: the contact stated the glass of the rear liftgate opened forcefully.no injuries were sustained, but the contact expressed that the rapid opening of the liftgate could cause serious facial injuries.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. While driving at 70 mph, there was an abnormal noise and the vehicle began to decelerate without warning. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the rear axle was hanging out of the rear end. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 88,000. The vin was not available.
Driver was making a right hand turn out of a parking lot onto a street.10-15 feet into the turn, the vehicle became stationary and wouldn't move forward.stopped vehicle and put it into park.went outside vehicle and checked underneath and rear of vehicle.no obstruction found.reentered vehicle and placed transmission into drive.vehicle would not move forward.put transmission into reverse and vehicle would not go backward.placed vehicle into park and exited vehicle.upon further inspection, the right front tire/wheel had come off of the vehicle and the right front of the vehicle was resting on top of the wheel tire.vehicle had to be towed to manufacturer's dealership.dealership determined the upper control arm had failed.
Engine idles when stopped and sometimes the jeep lunges forward.lights on dash come on intermittently.tires keep needing replaced even when getting the jeep continually balanced and rotated.they wear down on the outer rim of front tires only. Have to keep getting new batteries because vehicle keeps dying.i have had more problems with this vehicle since i bought it new in 2006 than i have had with a car in a lifetime.interior power stations don't work, passenger window will not close or open at times.some times the horn will just start going off.i keep receiving recall notices almost yearly.jeep needs to recall this vehicle.it has been a lemon from the second i brought it home.
All the lights on my dash panel went on & i lost power of the vehicle driving down the road. It came back on then off & on. This has happened several times. My catalytic converter has broken into a few pieces. The dealership said this happens often to these vehicles & believes there is a recall on them. I have had my vehicle4 1/2 yrs & this is the 2nd time it needs to be replaced. My struts have gone a few times on my 2006 jeep commander. The rear seatbelt in the middle & driver rear don't latch & when they do its really tight on my daughter. Lastly multiple issues with the rear doors both passenger & driver sides. The handles don't work all the time. They have both been fixed 3 different occasions. They open when they feel like it. The child lock is not on.
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.
2006 jeep commander with 93000. I have had serviced multiple times over brakes and suspension. Brakes will just grind when trying to stop at times. Brakes have been replaced and problem still occurs. Every mechanic has said everything looks good. Had bigotires do 3 inspections on brakes and suspension and everything checked out! suspension- i have had services 3 times. All new parts have been put on front drivers side yet problem still persist. Popping noise and squeaking when turning and hitting speed bumps or pot holes and very noisy when backing up. Lighting has also started to go off and on! i believe something is wrong with the lighting. Sometimes when i turn them on they do not come on and once i turned them off and they did not turn off and made battery go dead but once jumps they were back to normal except my back tail light which i have tried having replaced multiple times does not work anymore and front passenger side head light has some major issues! also it is very hard to see when it rains even with brand new wipers there just wasn't much thought put into the commanders! too many blind spots and also door handles on the inside easily break off!
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. The contact stated that while driving 40 mph, the front passenger side tire ball joint failed. The contact stated that after the ball joint fractured, the steering wheel seized as well as braking was difficult due to a brake fluid leak. The contact veered off into oncoming traffic and was only able to stop the vehicle after the axle fractured. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic for diagnosis but the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer or dealer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.
My wife reported a strange thumping sound from under the car.she said it began after dropping children at school and going over a speed bump at the school.something she does every day.upon inspection i found the driver side emergency brake cable was interfering with the rear universal joint on the driveshaft.the cable was kinked and being cut by the rotation of the driveshaft. There was also abrasion of the gas tank splash guard.i have no doubt if this happened at highway speed the cable would be cut in half and possibly wrap around the driveshaft causing the driver side emergency brake to apply and lock-up the wheelresultingin a rollover. The gas tank could also have been punctured if the cable was pulled by the driveshaft.somehow the normal action of the vehicles suspension was able to place this cable in contact with the driveshaft.the rotation of the universal joint caught the cable pulling it into the rotating shaft.i consider this a class 1 defect thatshould be corrected with a model recall.normally the emergency brake cable is routed off to the side and not directly over the differential. What were they thinking?chrysler needs to devise a supplemental attaching point that will ensure the cables are not able to contact the driveshaft even under extreme off road driving.i have a full set of photos available upon request.i have ordered a new cable but the part number is on back order.this indicates there is a problem when the part cannot be stocked due to high demand.this cable should last the life of the vehicle without question.nhtsa is there for the public.it exists on public taxes.it is not there to shield corporate mistakes and short cuts.i feel that nhtsa is not operating within the public trust if itallows defects to be ignored.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. The contact stated that while driving at an unknown speed, the front end of the vehicle started to shake violently as the engine stalled. The contact received a notification for recall nhtsa campaign number: 14v438000 (electrical system). However, the part needed was not available for repair. The contact mentioned that the manufacturer had exceeded the reasonable amount of time for repair. Neither the manufacturer nor the dealer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 80,000.
2006 jeep commander 4x4 trail rated.
1. No prior maintenance had been done in the affected area.2. The rh front passenger tire retaining bolts stripped causing the tire to leave the vehicle while in motion.the threads of the bolts remained in the hub.3. The hub was replaced at the dealer with no other damage to steering or alignment.
The metal valve stem of the tire pressure monitoring system corrodes where it passes through the wheel and results in unexpected sudden loss of tire pressure. Amber tpms warning light comes on and vehicle is immediately difficult to control/steer. Once vehicle is stopped, air can be heard and felt escaping from valve stem area on wheel and one can watch the tire continue to deflate. This has happened twice on my vehicle at highway speeds: 01-2009 at 111,000 and 05-2013 at 219,000.

My husband and i are leasing a 2006 jeep commander since nov 2005.i have been involved in 3 separate traffic accidents on may 31 2006, august 8 2006 and september 20 2007. The engine stalled during low speed turns on both august 8 2006 and september 20 2007. I had just left a stop sign on may 31 2006 when my engine stalled in the intersection, resulting in a crash.i was cited for failure to yield on may 31 2006.i wasn't cited on august 8 2006 or september 20 2007, although the police report from the september 20 2007 accident describes a "failure to yield." i have also had ongoing tire pressure issues as well as intermittent brake failure issues.prior to may 31 2006 i had never been involved in a traffic accident nor had i received any traffic citations. I am 48 years old.my vehicle was repaired twice after the first 2 accidents, but i am awaiting contact from the other party's auto insurer before proceeding with the repairs following yesterday's accident.i've brought the 2006 jeep commander in to bud mulcahy's jeep on several occasions. That dealership is now closed.
I took my vehicle to hall chrysler jeep and dodge dealership to get an oil change done and for them to check my starter. Well after i picked it up that night i was driving home my tire sensor pressure pistons on the right passenger back side of the car first fell off. I called the dealership and they were closed. I called my insurance company luckily i was covered and they sent someone over then the next day because obviously it was too late and nothing was open, at the tire place the next day the second one fell of glad i was already at the tire place when it happened and not driving again. But it was both tire pistons at on the right side of the car passenger side from the driver's side and the back tire of the right side. I called the dealership that same day they were fixing my vehicle and they told me to bring in the two parts and submit a claim and i could get re-imbursed for it with my receipt. And i went in today to the dealership like the manager from the dealership said and he told me i had to call a 1-800 number to submit the claim they said that they are not willing to reimburse me for it.
On my 2006 jeep commander i have defective corroded tire valve stems which are now cracked and cause the tire to constantly lose air pressure causing an unsafe driving condition. Chrysler is aware of the problem but refuses to replace the defective parts.the problem i am told is due to the aluminum valve stem being corroded by the metal valve stem cap. All is original factory parts. I am afraid if the valve stem completely fails and the tire goes flat while driving it may cause an accident resulting in serious injury or death.

My family and i were driving down the highway at 75 mph and without any warning, the engine died. When the engine died, the engine indicator light came on. Power steering and braking were fine at first. I steered the car to the side of the road. Before coming to a stop, the power steering stopped working. Once on the side of the road, i turned the ignition off and then tried to restart the vehicle. The car re-started immediately, however, the engine light remained on. I have taken the car into the shop and the technician was unable to find any problems with the vehicle. ...updated 09/22/15 about one week prior to the above event, i was driving home from the train station on a perfectly dry and clear day and when i was driving, the various traction control lights came on and the car would periodically buck while the rpm's would rev higher for a moment. After arriving home, i turned the car off and parked it in the garage. The nest day when i started it, the traction lights were off and the car appeared to drive normally. The lights that were on were the esp, bas, and the picture of the car sliding. When i took the car in for repair, the dealer couldn't find any issue with the traction system. The same traction issue has happened several more times and has yet to be repaired. Updated 09/29/15
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!
Had the ignition switch replaced according to recall. After a few months, it has become very difficult to get key to turn to start vehicle. Took the vehicle to larry miller in albuquerque nm, they want to charge me 300.00 to repair. According to previous owner it worked fine before taking it in for recall.
The vehicle door handles do not function on any of the four doors. They all have the same defect and the only way to exit the vehicle is to let the window down if you are able to and unlock the door from the outside. This is a safety issue when the vehicle is smoking, fire, etc., and passengers are unable to get out of vehicle. This is a defect with this vehicle..
3 of 4 door handles now broken - serious safety issue.
2006 jeep commander randomly will not start. Battery tests fine...took it to the dealer and paid over $400 and the replaced the starter and yellow solinoid cable which brings power to the starter. Still will not start occasionally. The dash lights up, but the engine doesn't turn over...wait 5 minutes and it may start at other times it won't.very frustrating, because it is random...may go a week starting fine, and then suddenly it won't start. Sometimes this happens first thing in the morning, sometimes only after short 5 minute trips to the store, and sometimes after long trips. Also, i already had the ignition switch replaced due to recall.
Vehicle stalls for no reason.usually happens when pulling from my driveway after being parked.after driving for a few hundred yards, to the intersection of the main road.upon hitting the brake and stopping, the vehicle stalled.if i had rolled into the intersection, i would have been right on a main road without engine running.no warning, it just stalls.i had thought it might be the ignition switch, but that was replaced already, and this happened again. This happens almost in the same place and situations every time.i start the vehicle, and without much delay, back out of my driveway.pull down the street, make a right turn after about 40 yards.make a left turn after about 100 yards.then move forward to the stop sign at the main intersection about 80 yards further.upon stopping, the vehicle stalls.it's happened about 10 times in the past 3 years, and twice in the past week.it surely is a danger, because i lose power and could roll into an intersection or cause another hazard.
My jeep commander is throwing a code u0255 no communication with front control module there is a recall for the 08 commander and not mine can we please get this addressed please
2006 jeep commander v8 4.7. I have two young children and this is seriously a safety hazard that jeep/chrysler will not address or recall. Almost all 2006 jeep commanders have this issue and it's very dangerous and a passenger could become easily trapped inside the vehicle during a fire/accident due to the doors not being able to be opened because of the broken door handles. The handles are not a separate piece that you can just replace. The whole entire door panel needs to be replaced and it's very costly approximately $500 per door or more. And all 4 handles are broken this is a hassard and over 500.00 per handle to be fixed professional and for safety is ridilous ..something needs to be done about this and i have seen thousands of complaints regarding this issue..paying good money for a vehicle and this is not considered an issue this is so not right to any of us that own this vehichle"06 jeep commander and all 4 handles are broken this is a hassard and over 500.00 per handle to be fixed professional and for safety is ridilous ..something needs to be done about this and i have seen thousands of complaints regarding this issue..paid $36,000 for this vehicle brand new and still original owner but unable to drive at the moment due to doors and safety issue.this is not considered an issue by jeep chrysler this is so not right to any of us that own this vehichle". Extremely dangerous!! this has been a problem for some time now with my vehicle just gotten worse over time and have contacted jeep on several occasions to have fixed they will not cover the costs. We should not be responsible for this repair it is defective materials/product and they need to be responsible for these repairs!!!!! or take the car back and give us a new one!!!!
Passenger rear door handle insert broke during a rear end collision, it is now cracked.
This has happened on more then one occasion.the 1st couple of times the check engine light was one, it took 2 times there and they replaced the modular.after that that was taken care of but then while driving down the street all the instrument lights on the panel came on and all gauges went to zero.the second time this happened, i was driving to work going about 35 miles per hour, again all lights on instrument panel came on and the jeep stalled causing my wheels to lock and my steering to not work, i had to skid off the side of the road, thank goodness no one was behind me.i started my jeep a couple minutes later and the check engine light and all gauges were still at zero and frightened, i was able to drive home through the neighborhood.i took it to the dealership which was there a day because they knew i was furious at this time because i could have caused an accident causing injury to myself and other drivers, i then got it back and was driving home again thank goodness not on the freeway and it happened again.i took it back to the dealer who told me there is nothing that can be done because nothing is being detected on the chip so they can not fix it, they advised me to just drive it and keep a log of the pattern to help them determine the cause.i called the service manager and told him that i have a huge problem with them asking me to drive this for a pattern and causing a potentionally fatal accident to get a pattern which they already know had done this before, the service manger is having the service writer drive my jeep and has been so for almost a week now.i can'tbelieve that this issue is not being taken serious,i could have caused a very very serious accident on the freeway and more so when it starts to snow.i do not feel safe in this vehicle, not only for myself buy other's on the road.this is something that needs to be taken care of now before someone loses there life.
The vehicle is constantly stalling....and has to be restarted. This occurs at stop lights, while idling, while starting to brake so you don't hit the car in front of you. If it doesn't stall instead it will rev up the rpms on its own while you are braking and jump forward... Also this occurs with your foot on the brake it will still jump forward. Problem continues.
Engine stalled without any warning lights while driving.it just died out.luckily no vehicles was following.changes in acceleration or gear suddenly shifts/sudden acceleration while driving on the freeway starter problem.sometimes it doesnt start.
Just purchased, car fax shows open recall.
2006 jeep commander limited 5.7l v8 message as appears on dash - transmission over temp while driving a short distance the message transmission over temp appears, the fan kicks on high & is very loud, and it feels like the transmission disengages like being thrown into neutral, but is still drivable. About 2 weeks prior, i noticed smoke coming out from under hood & the engine coolant tank was almost empty. There were no visible leaks on carport. I refilled the tank & immediately called kilby automotive repair shop, then took it in. They said that the radiator cap needed to be replaced. The also said the valve cover gasket was leaking. They replaced the radiator cap & made an appointment for june 3rd to replace the valve cover gasket. Before that appointment the vehicle started displaying the transmission over temp message. I took it into kilby automotive on may 27, 2021. They said it was a faulty transmission temperature sensor, but they could not repair. They have done a lot of repairs on the vehicle for several years.i called ultimate luxury auto service explaining the issue. The man said that he could put a new sensor in & there is a broken transmission mount. He replaced the sensor. Fix mount later. When i was driving home, the same message appeared & the fan kicked on as before. I messaged the shop & took the vehicle back in. They put a 2nd sensor in, drove it & received the same transmission over temp message. They returned the 2 new sensors & put my original sensor back in. They said they were sorry they could not fix it & dropped the price of repairs. I entered the make, model, & message online & found out a lot of people have the same problem. Some people have said they replaced numerous parts & it did not fix it, and others say they replaced the pcm. I am disabled and do not want to be stranded or have a vehicle fire. I am afraid that it would pose a risk to me & others, as transmission oil can ignite on hot surfaces and cause a fire in the engine.
It's started off shutting off then stalling now there's no start at all no click no dash pictures i took it to a mechanic who toldmemy ecm needed to be repaired i seen all sorts of recalls the car doesn't start and was fine before then
While driving i smelt plastic burning and the floor in the backseat was on fire. Within 5 minutes my car was engulfed, it was totaled,
Unknown reason for lost of motor oil, no observed source of a leak.
I drive and stop the jeep. When i turn it on and put it on direct it shifts to 3rd gear automatically. I have to turn off the jeep, disconnect the battery in order to drive. And this happens over and over again. Took the car to the dealer and no code was revealed and they couldn't fix. Took it to other auto parts and the same result came out when the hook it up to the computer. No code. I have found this exact problem mentioned on multiple jeep forum sitesmentioning code p0700 transmission control system. Thisis malfunctioning in a unsafe manner and i was told it hasn't been recalled yet. Don't you have enough complaints on this that chrysler should be doing a recall?
2006 jeep commander 4.7 liter having issues with engine stalling when stopped and also when starting to apply pressure to gas from stop in the 5-10 mph range.does not matter if the vehicle has just been started or completely warmed up.nothing i am doin is causing this too short to hit keys with knee. Have to turn vehicle completely off and start back up. Have had vehicle for about 6 months since june 2010 now and have had the incident happen at least 20 times.have read on numerous forums of this incident happening and no fix for this found yet please get the ball rolling to get a fix before someone gets killed.
I received a recall notification many months ago on my jeep, but i continue to call my local dealer for a replacement of this part - to which they continue to tell me the part if not available.can you tell me when this part if going to be available?once a recall is issued, a part to repair the recall should be available.
Driver side rear door handle breaks easily which could prevent someone from opening door from inside in the event of crash, fire or water incident.i have owned 2 of this same car - same make model and year, and both cars had the same identical problem.
I purchased the 2006 commander in june 2010. The first 6 weeks i had the vehicle i loved it. The first incident i had with the vehicle was the service park assist warning came on and stayed on for two days, then went off on its own prior to getting an appointment to have it checked. The next incident happened when i was idling in traffic ata stoplight. Every indicator light on the dash came on and the vehicle started to stall but did not completely stall out. Since that episode i have had issues with the driver side front window and passenger side rear window not functioning properly (at times won't roll up or down from either control). More recently i have had increasing episodes (two to three times per month) of the dash lighting up, headlights dimming and the vehicle losing power (so far always while parked or shifting from park to drive), as well as the service park assist warning and window issues. After hearing of a coworker with a 2007 commander having some of the same issues i began searching the internet and have found numerous complaints of the same issues as mine. I am afraid to drive this vehicle with my children inside in the event that it would stall out on the highway and i would not be able to control it. I spoke with the dealer that sold me the vehicle yesterday and they have agreed to look at it free of charge this morning since there is no warranty on it now, but i still am not sure i want to keep this vehicle any longer. Chrysler needs to recall these vehicles and fix this issue. I used to be a die hard jeep fan...but no longer! i am surprised that i have not found any reports of death or serious injury as a result of these electrical issues with this particular model.
The interior door handles crack and break: this is safety hazard trap for many consumer because you can't open the door from the inside if in an accident or in an emergency. I have been following this complaint since this vehicle came out on the marketseveral hundred and so far nothing has been to correct this problem. Only having the consumer fix it their selfwhich is very costly to fix. My dealer shop quoted me 500.00 per door and i have 2 that are badly cracked and broken : please consider a recall on the door handles and think of the safely of adults and children . This happens by just opening a door due to poor product select on the manufacturer.
Water leak right side a pillar wet floor mat also water dripping down from front of the sunroof and behind controls on the dashstereo screen flashes on and off cannot read screen.
There is a major design flaw with the inner door handles on my 2006 jeep commander. I know jeep changed the design in 2008 due to this problem. The housing and hinge are made entirely of plastic and are very brittle. After a few years of use the plastic starts to crack then break away and the inner handle will not function. This poor design in itself should be a $10 fix but unfortunately in order to replace the handle you are forced to replace the entire inner door panel. Why is my family potentially being put in harms way for a part that could be easily improved to prevent failure?
Driver's door handle broke making it very hard to get out! very dangerous in the case of a emergency!!
Intermittent inability to start vehicle. My jeep commander 2006 has a problem that is being discussed all over the internet in chat rooms and blogs but is not being acknowledged by jeep.the issue occurred whenjeep was in parked position. I am a disabled man and i was left stranded in very cold weather for two hours with a car that would not start. It had nothing to do with the starter, or the solenoid. This seems to be a serious issue with jeeps and a safety issue to the owner especially if the owner is stranded and has no heat and unable to walk to get help. I am requesting nhtsa to look into this because jeep is stonewalling the public and this is a serious and dangerous issue that the public should be aware of by way of a recall. People rely upon their automobiles and expect them to operate accordingly and not to have random and intermittent engine non starts for no apparent reason and with no explanation from jeep and no solution to the problem going on 9 years now.please investigate this widespread problem known to be an issue with jeep commander.
When we first got the car it was working like any normal car, however, after less than a month we started to notice a lot of change. The first problem we started to see was the whole screen turned off we are able to play music but only radio station that was saved. We are unable to tune/seek to a new radio station. Then we started to notice during the rainy season that water would enter into our car. After many tries of solving this issue, it is still happening to our car. The section where the petals are always wet and we have closed the sunroof and the cover but, nothing seems to work. Now today the check engine turn on and also the oil in the dashboard behind the steering wheel. We are worried about the safety of the car and hope to see changes soon from you. Thank you for reading the issue we constantly face.
After a few minutes car will shut off. Im at a stop sign it shuts off, i am yielding to oncoming traffic it shuts off.the vehicle revs up in park.
Regardless of distance traveled, outside temperature, the 'transmission over temp' message appears on the dash.had coolant flushed 2x but message still appears intermittently.had mechanic look at more than a few times, however could not replicate message and thus no resolution/fix to problem.jeep recently had ignition switch recall completed (thought that would never happen) but 'transmission over temp' would occur prior to that recall being completed.thought the two were connected somehow.main concern is the engine does not overhear, temp reads below middle mark but when transmission message appears, after a few minutes, transmission feels 'off' or jumpy.something is definitely happening.not safe to drive, not confident taking it on long trips because of possible damage that may occur, not to mention being stranded.this is my girlfriends truck and i'm not comfortable having her drive too far, especially in the evening.his is inconvenient because we take care of our vehicles, this truck has low miles, 62,000.would really like to resolve this because we love the trick but cannot trust taking it on trips, towing our boat which was the original purpose of having truck.what a stressful vehicle to have.very dissatisfied with this truck.again, the transmission over temp would occur intermittently, on the highway at times, in traffic, small trips, after sitting parked aftera short trip, message reappears once truck is started again.no rhyme of reason to this.
1) 2006 jeep commander began stalling just weeks after purchasing it.the vehicle has stalled about 10 times in 12 months.2)the vehicle completely stalls while driving (usually while in the process of slowing down), or when coming to stop or when beginning to go.this has happened in parking lots, intersections, as well as driving on busy roads.luckily the cars behind put on their brakes before rear-ending my car.however, the result could easily be an accident - which i am trying to prevent.3)brought the vehicle two times to the dealership where it was purchased.i was told that while they and chrysler are aware, they have not come up with a fix for the problem because they do not know what is causing it.i also called chrysler's customer service number and was told that i had to get a second opinion but there was nothing else they could do because the problem has not been diagnosed.
All interior door handles are cracked and 2 of them aren't operable and myself and kids can't get out of the jeep with getting help from an outside person to open the door.
My airbags in my vehicle would shut off on there own then my lights started turning on and off as i drove.. Thats the start ..one day im driving home with my kids and my car stalls out in the middle of the road tryed everything wouldnt start but windows worked except front and lights but no power. I had it towed to jeep and they insisted it was my battery.i go get my truck and as im driving all my lights come back on and all my gauges no longer worked,airbags no longer worked. They put it on the computer and p41 code came on which is my ignition switch recall from chrysler.jeep had me contact chrysler and they said that part wont be available no time soon and they were going to put me in a rental . The next day chrysler contacted jeep and then jeep said they have no idea its some electrical but they cant guarantee so i called the manager and told them its unacceptable i am without a car because chrysler wont fix the recall its a safety issue and they told me they cant do anything
The ignition switch is the problem.i have filed a formal complaint with you.190i received, finally, the second safety recall notice indicating that "simply contact your ...jeep...dealer right away to schedule a service appointment.ask the dealer to hold the parts for your vehicle....the service department at ernest motors stated that the parts are unavailable. I purchased a 2014 nissan versa in november 2014.as a responsible driver i could not in good faith drive my jeep.my jeep is paid off. I am now making a car payment monthly on the nissan versa.i received the safety recall notice, october 15, 2015.as instructed by fca i immediately phoned for a repair.it is neither honorable or responsible that i must continue to wait.i purchased that jeep in good faith. Please advise me as how to proceed.
Door handle broken all 4 doors
Jeep commander will completely turn off at random times when driving, most seem to happen when jeep is idling or moving slow.has not happened at time were an accident has happened, but has turned of in middle of intersections several times.
The car jumps and then stalls when it is idling in reverse or drive. It also will accelerate on its own and the brakes are hard to press. This happens when the lighting bolt appears and the anti side lights on the dash, then the care either doesn't respond to pressing the gas and is harder to press the brakes. I have to restart the car for it to work. This all began after recalls being updated, it has been diagnosed as my power train control modual and that it has been recalled in other vehicles for the same reasons but there is no recall attached to my vin according to chrysler. Ive done research online and numerous other jeep commanders and other jeep modules made around the same time are having the same issue. The problem is on going and has been for over a year but has gotten much worse after fixing of recalls a few months ago. The date below is estimate of when the recall was fixed.
While driving the car will shift off for no reason. It appears to be something wrong i have a new battery and don't now why it's losing power.. It cuts off while driving and when i made a turn but also while driving straight . Also the wheels feels like they are wobbly while driving in the front.
Interior door handles break easily, and come apart. This is a safety concern when trying toleave vehicle in an emergency- car fire, accident, or if vehicle falls into a body of water.in this vehicle, 3 of the 4 interior handles have easily broken from the door panels. They are built weaker than a child's toy car. Updated 01/20/11
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.
I have a 06 jeep commander that has been completely shutting down while i'm driving. The rpms go up over 3 and 4 and the gears shifts from high to low. And also my engine light comes on and stays on.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander.the contact stated that the engine was running and the vehicle was parked.while buckled in the passenger seat, her two year old grandson placed the vehicle in reverse.the contact jumped in the vehicle and applied the brake, however the vehicle slightly crashed into the garage door.the rear bumper was damaged.the driver side back up system did not work.the vehicle has not been inspected by the dealer.the vin and failure speed were unknown.the current and failure mileages were 18,500.
Recall notice back in sept. Still no status. How long does it take for a safety recall. One life to many i'm guessing. Another issue to look at is the door handle issue. If an accident did occur how would you get out?
Prior to 06-06-14 @115,616 milesbegan noticing issues with vehicle not starting. After several attempts vehicle would start.however knowing this was a re-occurring issue the vehicle was taken to the service dept.

Next day engine light back on and vehicle back to service dept..injector #4 bleeding:replace injector, spark plugs and preformed induction service. "nothing you could have done to prevent it has to do w/ seals inside engine." temp sensor in transmission replaced, torque converter replaced.
I drive 26 miles one way to work and then the same back home.on my way to work september 9, 2015 i was driving 40 mph and putting on cruise control and it revved up to 7 rpmsand i was doing 95 within about 20 seconds.i am unable to use cruise control because instantly it revs up and i am a danger to those on the road.so far nothing happens when the cruise control is off.it happened again today.it should be put on the recall list as this is deadly on the freeway.
1st my car has been having starting issues. The fuel pump was changed twice and that's not the issue.it seems to be coming from the wiring heading into the fuse panel in the engine. When i move it around it starts sometimes. And also when i put black tape around the wires it seems to correct the issues for weeks at a time. The problem is u never know when its gonna start or not. Now my engine, traction control and esp/bas warning lights are coming on. When that happens the transmission starts going haywire and feels like its only running on 1 gear plus when i reverse it feels like something grinds in the gears. However when those warning lights go off everything seems to go back to normal. Recently all the warning lights came on and the transmission over temp warning came on and my ac stopped blowing cold air and shortly after the car stalled in traffic on the highway. Thank god i was able to restart it but then it felt like the car drove all the way home using 2nd gear only in the automatic transmission. From reading other issues people are having online its obvious this model is having major electrical issues that no one seems to be able to correct. I am a jeep lover but this model has completely made it difficult on me since its my only car and its so unreliable.i don't have the means to replace it right now so this situation has been unfortunate for me
The interior door handles on 2006-2007 jeep commanders fail when the plastic holding the handle to the door panel breaks, this could lead to not being able to exit the vehicle from the inside in an emergency.
Jeep ignition switch/cylinder intermittently not starting ignition and problem has worsened. Acceleration jumping intermittently occurs even when breaking and stopped. Windshield sometimes makes whistling/roaring noise at medium to high speed. Right side of jeep's undercarriage makes vibrating noise periodically and pulls jeep to the right while driving forward on streets and highways and when making turns. We believe we had ignition switch/cylinder problem fixed with dealer before are again having problems. We want to have necessary problems fixed with dealer as these problems are being listed under jeep but we haven't received all recall notices possibly because of moving. Airbag sensor and other sensors periodically appear and disappear. Would you please inform us of what issues above the dealer would be required to fix at no charge and how we may go about this. Thank you
Every single door handle in the jeep broke under normal use somewhat able to open from inside, but a very big safty hazards when my kids or passengers cannot open the door from the inside. Kinda scary when you think about it. Slightly after revieving my used jeep one door handle after the other breaks upon bumping into handle.
When i am driving on the main city road or highway i notice about three things that happen all at once. The first thing is i lose control of my steering. The second thing is it feels like my jeep went into park causing all my wheels to break for 1 to 3 second. The third thing is it feels as the engine stalled. All these things happen at the same time. This causes my jeep to stop or stall on the road sending me and my passengers to lounge forward as if i had hit an invisible wall at full force.
I purchased the vehicle from the oranegeburg auto auction after trying to sell the vehicle i discovered that odometer had been rolled back
While opening the right rear passenger door of my 2006 jeep commander the inside door handle broke, this prevented the passenger from exiting the vehicle. I contacted the jeep dealer and they informed me that they did not have any issues relating to the door handle. I removed the door panel and made the necessary repairs. Two months later the left rear handle broke and then the right front passenger handle broke. I made repairs to both of those handles as well. Last month the right rear handle has broken again, i have did a temporary repair on the handle. My fears are that if i was to get in some type of accident where the passenger(s) would have to exit the vehicle in a hurry that the handles will fail and the passenger(s) will not be able to exit the vehicle in a timely manner and could result in the passenger(s) being trapped inside the vehicle. There should be some type of safety recall.
I received recall letter for ignition switch problems since last year. I went to the dealer and notified about the recall ,they put me on waiting list and didn't call me back. I called them and went again and they tell me just to wait. I'm tired to claim them.
The inside door handles are breaking apart.mine have not gotten to where they will not operate yet but they are loose i am concerned about the safety of getting stuck in the jeep if they quit working.online they are aftermarket fixes for this problem which means there are a lot of jeeps with this problem.i can not believe that this is not a safety problem that is being over looked.
Everytime it rains the floor gets flooded to the ankle
I went out to start my car this morning all the lights came on then went off as i started to pull out of the driveway all the lights came back on after a few seconds went back off.
2006 jeep commander 4x4 dies at low speed. Almost caused accident on freeway. Had the ignition recall taken care of. Hoping that it was the problem. It was not... Now trying to sell vehicle and don't want to cuz i would have to have someone else get hurt. In that death trap the jeep now sits in my side yard my wife refuses to drive it. I'm looking for any ideas on what to do? please help
The seat belt wont latched unless you press down the released buttonon both driver and passenger. Also the panels leaked on passenger side and the top.
Began experiencing issues with starting at all after the ignition switch recall was worked on and resolved. The jeep won't start at different times, different weather conditions. The proper positioning and the vehicle acknowledging it being in park is an issue. The jeep requires parking to be forced -using the gear lever shiftfrom drive to park and look for the jolt to indicate it's in the appropriate gear, in park
Ignition switch recall which was issued on my jeep commander was addressed and ultimately an appointment was made upon availability. However, since the recall, the jeep will not function normally upon initial start up attempt progressively into more attempts thereafter. Connection between key switch and cylinder not responding to connection, lack thereof. This occurred at first seldom to more and more random periodic "no signal, no start". Recalls are supposed to fix the initial severe problem, correct? not result into another problem that wasn't present before, right? found my time fruitless in getting clarity of this issue resolved from dealer. What can i do? what should be done? as the consumer we will feel the job done wasn't done correctly. Fact is there were not any start up issues prior to the recall addressed and ignition switch replaced/fixed?
Over the past several years,all four interior door handles have broken.the damage occurred with nothing more than normal usage. The breakage has left all doors incredibly difficult to open.this breakage could slow an occupants ability to exit the vehicle in an emergency situation. I have seen many other owners of jeeps complaining of the same issue. I feel jeep should be made aware of this apparent design flaw and owners should be provided compensation for the repair.
Purchased 2006 jeep commander on 8/20/11 and i do not drive it on a daily. However, after driving for less than an hour on 8/27/11 the dash lit up with the message "transmission over temp", after googling i noticed the transmission message is a common problem in jeep vehicles, mainly commanders. I also read that after several"transmission over temp" messages the vehicle will stall, a couple of people reported it doing so in the middle of heavy traffic flow. Also, after stalling the car will not restart until it's left sitting for hours. Some have let their jeep sit for 4 days before getting it to restart and others for weeks/months. About a month later it rained for the 1st time since i've had the jeep and i noticed the handrail, located top left above passenger side, was dripping onto the dashboard and the floor was wet as well. Googled the water incident and found hundreds of complaints regarding wet front interior after rain (in jeep commanders, various years). Some complained of mold growth and stated there seems to be no solution to the problems; mechanics are stumped at both wet interiors after rain and"transmission over temp" message. Both incidents have made me a bit nervous since i have a 10 year old riding with me majority of the time. I've contacted the jeep corporation and jeep asked me to contact nhtsa. Not sure what steps to take at this point.
All 4 of my door handles on the inside are broken.the one in the back driver side is completely unuseable.i worry about the safety of anyone who gets in my car.the handles don't work.anyone i've ever spoken to that owns one of these jeeps has the same issues.they are junk!!!!it's asking for a specific date at the bottom.they all started breaking randomly as soon as i got it.
Purchased 2006 commander in may 2006. The day i drove it off the lot i heard wind noise. It has since been in for repairs 4 times, including removing the dash which now has left me with a squeaky dashboard. Have contacted the district manager, who wants one more chance, called corp chrysler hq who opened a file & then closed it without verifying my satisfaction, have reopened a file with chrysler, tried to speak with a service manager at the 800 customer service number and was refused.
While driving al dash lights will light up and heat will shut off.. Come back on and happens again. There's no certain times it happens wheneve it wants to between 1-15 times a day driving and parked. Sunroof leaks through tubes into passenger side floor board and freezes windshield if temp is low. Transmission overheated warning comes on and transmission/ and or fluid is fine. Have had all issues checked and they can not find the problem! also need is reading code that suddenly my key isn't registered since this has been happening and my auto start won't work because of the key not being linked to my car anymore. This is unsafe and eventually will stop me from being able to drive my car. The lights all come on and then go off while driving on any street any speed or even parked. Heat shuts off while lights are on and comes back on after they shut off.
Stalled while driving.
A couple years ago i got the n23 recall on my truck and after that my 4 wheel drive low will no longer work. Then got the p73 to reprogram the control module but it still don't work and displays on my dash 'service 4 wheel drive'.
After completing a one mile trip without incident, i got back in my 2006 3.7 liter v6 4x4 jeep commander and started it up. I then put it into reverse and began to back up when my power-steering failed. I put it back in park and turned off the engine and then restarted the engine. The power-steering was functioning again, so i put it in reverse and began to back up. After about five feet the power-steering failed again, then the anti-lock brake system failed and it was incredibly hard to brake. The abs light also came on. I then backed into a parking spot and turned off the engine and then restarted it. The power-steering was still failing and the abs light still lit up. The engine then died after about 30 seconds. I then attempted to restart the vehicle and it wouldn't start and the red alarm light came on. The battery is good.
My vehicle stalls out, without warning. The first time it happened, i was attempting to accelerate from a stopped position. Also, have experience the identical problem while turning and or on a highway.
Apparently there is/was a defect in either the design or production of the door handle assembly in the 2006 jeep commanders.the plastic housing which contains the door opening mechanism becomes too brittle and cracks rendering the opening mechanism inoperable.on my commander all but one door is affected. At the moment, only two out of the four doors work, the front-side passenger and the driver-side rear. If this vehicle was in an accident in which there was a need to exit quickly (fire or water), the lives of my family would be in extreme jeopardy. I posted a video on youtube, and have heard from many other with the same issue. Chrysler jeep produced approximately 80,000 of these vehicles in 2006. I truly believe there are thousands of there jeep commanders on the road with this same issue. In fact the condition is so prevalent; one company is producing an after-market repair kit.please see my video at the following link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffq0oki7zjy.
My brakes pulsate when i pump them coming down hills.the dealership continues to tell me there is nothing wrong with my brakes.it is really bad when i am coming down a mountain and i am scared that they will fail on me.it has happened every time i've traveled to see my daughter in college in the mountains.i've tried going very slow and pumping as to not pick up speed.i am very concerned for my safety.
Computer problems after n23 & p73 recall work completed 11/2015. When driving vehicle after recall work completed, when stopped & shifted into reverse, vehicle would not move in reverse, engine revered up when pressesd accelerator as if it were in neutral. Also now have indicator msg tht says " service 4 wheel drive". Called chrysler & they made appt with another dealership to check/redo the recall work. Dealership said the first time recall work was done it was done incorrectly& chrysler paid them to redo recall work. Con tied to have same issues. Called chrysler again & they made appt with local dealership to recheck vehicle. Was told by dealership that "service 4 wheel drive" indicator comes on after so many miles on vehicle & only means to have normal maintanance performed on vehicle, cost $400, has nothing to do with recall work. Explained that indicater came on after recall work done not before so mileage hadn't really changed. Morlan chrysler attempted resetting recall work & insisted i had to pay them to perform recall work. Called chrysler& was reinbursed for the cost to have recall redone for 2nd time. Continued to have same issues & dealership & chrysler stated it's no longer a recall issue. Although the vehicle is doing exactly what the recall notice says the recall is supposed to fix that the vehicle wasn't doing prior to the recall work being done. Now 2 yrs later vehicle is still shifting itself into neutral when trying to shift into reverse it is also shifting in neutral driving 60 mph on highway making it an extremely unsafe vehicle to drive. Still continues to have the " service 4 wheel drive" indicator on. Dealership says it will cost $800 to fix.problem is not mechanical because vehicle can be turned off after shifting problems, essentially resetting computer, & will shift normally again. Www.jeepforum.com has numerous jeep owners with same iss
2006 jeep commander recall question customer is asking if the ea07007 nhtsa action is going to result in a recall**ccthe consumer inquired as to how long it will take to reach a resolution. Updated 07/23/07.
Car rolls in park from time to time unless the emergency brake is set. Makes very loud grinding noise when in reverse afterward. Has "service 4wd system" message.no mechanic has been able to identify the problem.
3 of 4 interior door handles broken and inoperable
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.
Jeep keeps stalling when backing out of driveway and while at idle or at stop sign on city streets.
Interior door handle plastic housing broke on two of four doors, the driver front and passenger rear.the drive side cracked when i opened it.the passenger rear broke in half when my 5 year old daughter opened the door.this is now a safety issue as the door is very hard to open.
Vehicle completely stalls and shuts down while driving...no matter what speed.it happened to me at 45 mph as well as 25 mph.when this happens there also is no steering.....almost got into a serious car accident due to this repeated problem.have taken to get serviced and they can not find anything wrong.
Transmission over temp warning came across the dashboard and continued after truck was turned off and back on. Coolant and temps levels are normal. Warning has continued to come on past couple days at 60 degree weather with no reasoning as to why. No electrical failures or other problems exist.
This is in response to the recall for the ignition switch on my 2006 jeep commander. My vehicle has had the ignition switch replaced at the dealership but you should know that the replacement does not cure the problems that it was meant to fix. The work was completed at 9:30am and the next time i drove that day,it didthe same exact shutdown as it did before (with all lights on the dash flashing).the stalling and shutdown does not occur because of hitting the key with your leg as i am only 5'4" and my leg doesn't touch the ignition. The shutdown occurs because of a short somewhere inside the ignition. It occurs randomly and sometimes can be stopped by lightly turning the key to the left. I have also found that the shutdown occurs at extreme frequency when driving in heavy rain or extremely slushy roads, which tells me that somewhere, something is getting wet and shorting the vehicle out. It is very hard to get the lights to stop flashing in this type of weather and i have had to pull over a couple times because of the danger of stalling in traffic. I am stuck with this dangerous vehicle because of my financial situation and have fought for something to be done about it by the dealer starting 20 days after i bought it but of course nothing was done until the government got involved and sadly it still hasn't cured the problem.i hope you receive more complaints and make the dealership correct the problem the right way.thank you for your time,[xxx]'information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).'
Chrysler jeep ,my wife and i are die hard jeep customers. Our 06 commander is a safety problem!! all interior door handles are broke. The rear interior door handles will not open the doors at all. Making it unsafe for any passengers,especially our children.help me make our 06 jeep commander safe again recall these handles for public safety.......
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.
Driver and passenger door handles. Both handles have snappedcausingthe flimsy plastic panel to break. This requires the entire panel be changed . Very expensive and dangerous makes opening these doorsvery difficult.
Car stalls out when driving or taking turns. Also stalls out when car is warming up and nobody is in the car several times. I can feel when i'm driving it also restats it self when i step on the gas pedal.
I recently purchased a new 2006 jeep commander limited. The vehicle currently has less than 6000 miles. Over the past few months the jeep has unexpectedly stalled at least 7 times. One particular stall happened while pulling into a busy street and nearly resulted in a collision. I want to return the vehicle but the dealership will not take it back. I purchased the jeep for my wife to drive and she takes our 2 children with her in the vehicle. I am very concerned about them being injured or more even more serious consequences as a result of the jeep stalling. My goal is to receive a full refund or to have the vehicle replaced with same make, model, etc with an engine that is mechanically sound and does not stall.what are my options?
While traveling on an expressway in central michigan, i was using the cruise control to maintain a speed of 75 mph.with no warning at all, the mechanical components of the vehicle shut down, leaving my jeep "dead in the highway".i was able to steer and brake, but the vehicle would not respond to acceleration by pressing the gas pedal.i pulled off to the shoulder, luckily without incident.turned the key to the "off" position and waited about 10 seconds.i turned the key to the "on" position and it started back up.i cautiously drove at a considerably slower speed until i was able to get to a rest stop.when i got to my destination i found a local auto parts store and had them do a diagnostic check.it showed a maf sensor gone bad.mass air flow sensor was replaced.hoping that was the issue, after several days, my family and i headed back home on the other side of the state.while driving about 60 mph with cruise control, there were no issues.i figured the problem was fixed.unfortunately, i was wrong.as i reached the highway where the speed limit is 70 mph, i accelerated to 70 mph with the cruise control.as soon as i broke the 70 mph point, the car mechanically stalled again as i was trying to merge onto the busy highway.again, luckily, i made it safely to the shoulder and restarted.i was able to exceed 70 mph on the way home without using the cruise control.concerned for my pregnant wife, toddler son, and my own safety, as this happened on a busy highway at a high rate of speed; with no warning lights or sounds.
The cruise control has a mind of its own to give you the best idea of what i'm talking about. It consistantly speeds up to 20mph over what i intend it to be set at. For example, if i set it at 40mph it will speed up to 60mph instantly on its own.1. There were no events leading up to this2. It happens everytime the cruise control is set to any speed. The vehicle fails to maintian the set cruise speed by speeding up on its own. The most likely consequence will be a rear end collision with the car in front of me.3. The dealer is being contacted today for report and possibility of repair.
1st occurrence of the stalling/dying: 7/23/06. Vehicle was moving at a slow speed making a right hand turn. The vehicle lost power (no response when pushing on the gas pedal and the power steering also failed).driver had to put the vehicle into park from drive, turn the key to the off position and then back to the start position. The 2nd occurrence was on 8/9/06 12:30 pm.at a stoplight on a hill waiting to turn left. The light turned, the car in front of her accelerated and when driver took her foot off of the brake to apply the gas and the car began to roll backwards. After this occurrence, driver called the dealership and spoke with a svc advisor. Driver described the symptoms and they said they had heard of this happening on some other commanders and that they knew the part that typically fixed it. Driver made appt to bring in for service. Vehicle dropped off 8/10/06.call from svc dept. 8/11/2006 and stated tech tested found a bad map sensor. They replaced the sensor and said the problem should be resolved. The 3rd occurrence happened on 8/15/06 7:40 am.driver was stopped waiting for traffic to clear to make a right turn onto highway 212 from 222nd drive. At this point, driver called dealership and asked to speak with a service adviser and said she would be bringing the vehicle back in as it wasn't fixed. The 4th occurrence happened 8/15/06 5:50 pm while the vehicle was in motion on highway 217 driving to the northwest jeep dealership.driver wasin slow rush hour traffic- 5-10 ph. Depressed the gas pedal to accelerate to keep up with traffic and the car just continued to coast with no acceleration. She had to put the vehicle in park, turn the key to the off position, start the car again and then stop on the highway to put car back into drive.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. While driving 40 mph, the vehicle accelerated forward and the check engine indicator illuminated. The contact called a local dealer (twin city dodge chrysler, 650 sagamore pkwy s, lafayette, in 47905) and was informed to schedule a service appointment. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 154,197.
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.
Car turned itself off,ignition switch problem, maybe software.has stalled on many occasions.has had software checked by dealer and there is no other fix, they say. Is this part of the ignition switch recall problem with ignition switch? thank you!
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. While the vehicle was at a stop light, it accelerated independently. In addition, the contact struggled placing the key in the ignition switch and the key became stuck. The vehicle was serviced under nhtsa campaign number: 14v438000 (electrical system). The contact stated that the failures were not occurring prior to the recall repair. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 17,500.
Was driving the vehicle first noticed the electric mirrors turned upward and unable to correct.then the left window went down and moves up or down at random.the electric door locks became inoperative from driver side. The warning gauges started to go off and on and display started to flash different problems with the vehicle. While driving the next day the cruise control went off and everything started flashingthis has happened several times and have put the vehicle in the shop.i have a video that i took while driving.
My jeep commander will start accelerating excessively and will not stop until i disable the cruise control. This is extremely dangerous. The first time it happened i had to slam on the brakes and go into the ditch just to avoid a car.
06/16/12 - waiting at a red light on a major intersection, i began accelerating to make a left turn. The 2006 jeep commander drove about 4 feet and suddenly with no warning it stalled and shut down.the 2006 jeep commander does not turn on any warning lights, it does allow for quick start up.it is a very dangerous issue because it has happen 4 different times, with no solution and at various speed.this truck is an accident waiting to happen.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. The contact stated that while driving approximately 65 mph, the vehicle stalled. The failure occurred intermittently at different speeds. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis. The technician stated the pcv valve would have to be replaced. After the repair, the failure continued. The throttle position sensor and the mat sensor were replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000.updated 7/22/13 the vehicle completely shut down. It re-started immediately after coming to a complete stop and turning the ignition off and back on.
Bought this commander 08/02/14, about two weeks after driving it . It started dropping out of gear andgetting stuck in 3rd gear. And when driving on the highway it would completely shut down , i sent it back to where i bought it. For them to fix the problem being i haven't even made my first car payment. And the gave me a run around for two weeks saying they was waiting on parts . Then said they had it and had my jeep for almost 4 weeks . Before getting my jeep. Now its 01/02/15 and its doing it again. I cant make it back and forth to work. Or get my kids. With my jeep stuck in third gear and dieing for no reason.
Takata recall my vehicle was in motion @ 75 mph on the high way when the transmission shifted itself into 3rd gear and would not shift out
I purchased my car in july, 2012, it is now oct, 2013, and i have had numerous problems with the jeep, for starters the lights and dash board lights keep flickering on an off by themselves, and nowjeep won't pick up speed at times and the engine light came on, i took it to the dealer and they stated that it was a shift module problem that would cost 997. Well i took it from the shop and a week later brought it back and they then stated that they would have to take the transmission apart and clean it because it might be debris that is on it, well later they call me to say that it was the transmission i need a new one and for that it will cost me 2900....there was a recall on this same type of problem back in 2008, could it be that i purchased this vehicle and they never had this problem fixed???
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. The contact stated that while driving 35 mph, the vehicle accelerated without manual force. The contact was able to shift into park to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was not notified. The vin was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 63,000.
Had cruise control set to 65 mph on the freeway. Out of nowhere the car began accelerating on its own to reaching speeds of 85 mph. If cruise control is turned on now it accelerates on its own and i ma not able to control the speed at all.have taken car to dealership but they say nothing is wrong. Front windshield leaks and lets in too much air. I should not have to pay for repairs since it is a defect. Driver side window does not go down. Now rear passenger side window is starting to get stuck.have replaced driver side switch and the problem still exists. Front passenger window goes down but thedriver side which has controls to all the windows does not work for any of the windows.my car accelerates on its own on a daily basis. It can go from 35 mph to uncontrollable speeds.taken to dealership several times but they never find the problems. Dealership cant even figure out what is wrong with the electrical windows.
At around or about the speed of 55 mph ,i here a loud and scary thumping or grinding sound under the car. It sounds like its right underneath my seat. I immediately got off the expressway and slowed down. That seemed to help the sound go away.when i drive to work in the morning, i only drive 35 mph and i can here the soundalso and when i let off the accelerator the sound stops, but continues when i press on the gas. Pls notify me as soon as possible with any helpful information as i do drive with little children in the vehicle. I will take the car to the jeep dealer to get checked out.[xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
My jeep loses power every time i drive it stalls out while driving (scary when it happened on the freeway) at times it stops shifting and then slams like the whole transmission fell out of jeep.
All the light on my dash board have been flickering on and off for the past two months. It does not seem to affect my engine however it will completely take all gauges to zero while i am driving. I drove it last night and when it happened it killed my all my lights. I can hear a clicking sound when the flickering happens. It doesn't click continuously but enough to make me very uneasy.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. The contact stated was driving 65 mph when the vehicle abnormally accelerated to 90 mph. The contact depressed the brakes but to no avail, the vehicle did not respond.the contact was able to stop the vehicle by shifting to park. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnosis of the failure or repairs. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure and current mileage was 90,000.
The speed control accelerated and kicked into overdrive.it jumped from 65 to 80 in just a matter of seconds.i had to hit the brake and turn of the speed control.it now does it all the time when the cruise control is engaged.
Vehicle is having issues getting stuck in gear and not shifting unless you stop, turn off, and when turned back on will work for a while and then happen again. 3rd row seat belt doesnt work.
Vehicle shut off.this always happened while slowing.it has normally been when slowing into a slight turn thespeed dropped, and thentrying to accelerate into the turn.once or twice when just coming to a start/stop.haven't taken it to the dealer yet. Thought i wouldcheck online to see if anyone else was having this problem.and here i am.
While i was driving on the highway i had my cruise control set at 55 mph as i came into a 35 mph zone i had tapped my brakes and then came to a red light where i had to stop, when the light turned green i then turned on state route 348 where the speed limit is back to 55 when i pushed the button to resume, my 06 jeep commander accelerated to a very high speed as if i pushed the peddle to the floor. When i pushed the break it then turned the cruise control off, luckily there were no cars in front of me or i would have crashed into the rear of their vehicle at a high rate of speed. At this point i cannot use my cruise control because this happens every time i try (note: i always make sure there is no cars in front of me).
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander.while driving 40 mph, the engine revved on its own and the vehicle accelerated to approximately 50-60 mph.the contact applied the brakes and turned off the engine.the contact shifted into park and restarted the vehicle.the engine immediately revved up again.the contact attempted to place the vehicle in gear, but when the shift lever reached reverse, the vehicle jerked backwards and struck another vehicle.a police report was filed.the contact spoke with daimler chrysler and they stated that they would conduct an investigation.the current and failure mileages were 16,500.
Vehicle seem to loose power while cruising at or around 45 mph or when engages 4th gear. Rpm's drop really quick from 3500 to almost 1500 rpm's in matters of second. Increasing the risk of a rear end collision if trying to overtake another vehicle or driving up hill, dealer can't find problem. Problems happens every time under any weather condition.
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 theroad 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.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. The contact stated when the cruise control was activated, the vehicle suddenly accelerated.the contact had quickly engaged the brake pedal to decelerate and disengaged the cruise control. The failure recurred multiple times.the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired.the manufacturer had not been notified of the failure. The vin was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 140,000.
I was driving and when i accelerated the car seemed very sluggish and hesitant to switch gears. As i approached the stop light and came to a stop i noticed the car stalled. So i turned it off and restarted it. This has happen twice now that the car has just stalled. I have now noticed that since this incident my car has been idling rough and has been vary sluggish while driving, especially up hills. I am worried for my safety that this will happen again while i am driving.
As i driving down the highway i can be going between 40-60 mph and if i let off the gas and just coast and then give it gas again its like it is in neutral and it continues to do this until the car is going 20 mph or under and it is very dangerous it has caused me to almosthave several wrecks and i have 5 kids which were with me in the car each time this has happened to me something needs to be done!
I was driving down the hwy and my vehicle turned off. I lost power steering breaks and was not able to properly maintain control of my vehicle in order to avoid an accident. This had happened twice before this time, and i looked to see that there was a recall on my jeep for an ingition switch and the the exact discription of what would happen if my car was effected fit my situation. I then called jeep and advised them of this and they said i neeeded to have it diagnoised by a jeep dealership. I had the vehicle towed at my expensense and rented a car at my expense. The dealership confirmed my assumption and in fact the issue i was experiencing is part of the recall. Jeep now tells me they don't have the parts and they have not made a decision on whether it's neccessary to provide a replacement vehicle until they have a resolve. Am i supposed to be without a vehicle or potentially drive mine with 3 children, and potentially loose power again causing a loss of control? what i am supposed to do from here?
Driving my jeep commander from topeka,ks to manhattan,ksdrove on the high way when accelerated the vehicle began to jerk and or began a rocking motion. The vehicle jerked or rocked every so often not consistent but very randomly did not notice a pattern. The vehicle did not drive well and felt very unsafe to drive on the high way.
My jeep didn't pull correctly, it back fire and wind. We took it to chrysler to get it fix. The mechanic told us that the solenoid went bad... So were charged $405 for a converter, $357 for a solenoid, $7.75 for a sealer, and $3.60 for a nut none... Total labor and parts $1930.31... Today we go to pick it up, and it still makes the same noise and the problem worsen. We left it there to be fixed again... At the moment we are out of $2000, no car, and then had the nerve to tell me it was something else wrong with my car and it'll be $800 more to fix it. Needless to say,i told them i wanted to speak with the owner, he said he'll call me back.. Not even two minutes later, he goes... "we'll take care of it...
Well ... ?you're never going to believe to this?about 20 minutes ago i was driving sheri and myselfback home from an appointmentand went to pull out of a tee junction-, rossway road and the road was wet, i dabbed the throttle and pulled out gently, unfortunately a cadillac came over the brow of the hill traveling fast and stamped on the gas to accelerate out of the way- nope he refused to move, i had my foot on the gas, flat to the floor- zero just min power, after what seemed like 1seconds it picked up- full throttle ? went sideways spinning the tires and was at that point on the shoulder- it then left off up the road like a drag car- 5000+rpm.now the scary bit, such a maneuver should have turned the esp light on at least, nothing, i've got to tell you at this point i am done with this thing.i just called chris xxx at the dealership and he says that he can?t do anything for me except call dcc and a lawyer- he needs to hear from them what to do.but he says as there are no error codes stored he will have no data to work with anyway. I?m on hold with dcc now and i?m on hold waiting to talk to the next dept? chief , they will do nothing for me i?m sure.i've copied mr. Martin lee, who is my attorney on this message and i'm going to wait to see what he says?please add this to my file, thanks- another emergency has been narrowly avoided...while driving 54 mph with the cruise control on the vehicle's headlight went out and the vehicle stalled.the consumer turn the key to the off position then back to on and the vehicle started right up.the vehicle was taken to the dealer but the found nothing wrong.updated 05/02/06.
Replaced bezel gear selector 3 times since 2006. As of september 2016 a 4th replacement is required per golling chrysler. Vehicle attempts to stall after 1-2 seconds when starting from a stopped position. The check engine light illuminates and a service message appears stating "service park assist system." several times from 2006 - 2016 the vehicle almost stalled when entering intersections of city streets. Whenever condition occured the part was replaced (3 times). Part causing the conditions is part# ch68004143-af prndl bezel gear selector and ch52108308-ac connector electrical (transmission). I believe the gear selector and transmission to be defective due to the frequent failure which could cause a safety incident.
The vehicle stalls in motion on both residential and highway and loses power steering. Cruise control once you set it acceleration occurs on its own this occurred on the highway. Ignition bumps out of the on position into accessory or off on it's own.
Traction kicks on while accessing highway causing vehicle to feel as thoughit will stall and wont allow for acceleration.we have to turn off traction as fast as possible for acceleration to work.extremely dangerous when pulling out in front of traffic.
Sudden acceleration - car wash.attendant entered vehicle at end of jax car wash in rochester hills, michigan.i personally observed event - when driver put vehicle in gear in suddenly violently accelerated.the quick reaction of the jax driver prevented a major accident.he nearly missed a vehicle in front of the car wash being dried off by other employees and several employees by the dry towel containers - managing to go between them.he ended up running over a sidewalk curb, but managed to get it into neutral and shut the engine off before entering the main highway.the violent acceleration i observed was just short of a miracle that he managed to avoid personnel, vehicles, and to stop the vehicle before it entered the highway.after shutting it down for several minutes, the vehicle was restarted and performed normally.this vehicle had been through this car wash previously with no acceleration problem.it had just turned over 18,000 miles and had never had this happen previously.this is an extremely dangerous situation.
Engine idles when stopped and sometimes the jeep lunges forward.lights on dash come on intermittently.tires keep needing replaced even when getting the jeep continually balanced and rotated.they wear down on the outer rim of front tires only. Have to keep getting new batteries because vehicle keeps dying.i have had more problems with this vehicle since i bought it new in 2006 than i have had with a car in a lifetime.interior power stations don't work, passenger window will not close or open at times.some times the horn will just start going off.i keep receiving recall notices almost yearly.jeep needs to recall this vehicle.it has been a lemon from the second i brought it home.
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.
I purchased 2006 jeep commander dec '06. Had continuous issues w/the performance -service dept can't fix the problem.approx three months afterpurchase, i was pulling off from a parking space -car cut off completely.i assumed that i hit the gear or didn't have completely engaged.b/c a new car, i thought it was strange but not a real issue.in aug '06, taking my car in for routine service, backing up in the dealership lot & the car cut off completely.added the request to have the issue checked.i explained this wasn't the 1st time the car cut off and there must be a problem.was told that nothing found.in sept '06, i was driving to work in stop & go traffic - my car cut off completely.i was able to apply the hazard lights to warn other drivers.i was able to start the car and took it into the dealership for service.i explained that this was the 3rd time that the car completely shut off, and something needed to be done.i was told that they could not replicate the situation and was asked to pick up my car.i told the service advisor that i was not picking up my car until something was done.my car cuts off while driving!that is not safe. I can't wait until i am in a tragic accident to say see, it happened again.the service department reported that they contacted the star hotline and replaced the pcm and installed a control program.i have continued to experience stalling and hesitation while driving but the car has not completely shut off.i have no confidence in accelerating to merge into traffic, nor pass other vehicles.i feel totally vulnerable that the commander will shut off while driving. During my last scheduled maintenance 1/31/07, i informed the service advisor that i am still experiencing hesitation/stalling.they did not find anything.i have been advised to set up a time to leave my vehicle for overnight road test.
When driving my jeep commander it stalls. It happens when i am stopped and try to go or when i slow down then try and accelerate. My life has been at risk when this happens. One of the times i was driving on the interstate going 65mph and it stalled. I am extremely upset about this especially since i have a 2 year old son that is in the car with me.
The vehicle cruise control malfunctions: now even pressing "set" at least while driving over 40 mph makes the vehicle accelerate fast even to 80 mph so i press brake pedal which does disengage cruise control. Even if you turn cruise control off and then back on it keeps on happening every time you press set. I disconnected power to the cruise control.
This vehicle has numerous recalls related to all the problems our jeep has. There is 0 recall for our vin. The vehicle surges when driving up hills. The car won't start sometimes because the shifter control thinks it is in drive when it is in park. The cruise control does not work and the 4 wheel drive kicks in when driving at high speeds and jumps the car.
Acceleration does not stop when cruise control is engaged; accelerates past requested speed as if gas pedal is stuck. Contacted local mechanic, explained problem, they said it sounded as if it were a safety issue and would not touch it. Contacted chrysler, basically told me there was no recall, sorry, and to have it looked at by a jeep dealership. Began researching online, has happened to several people across the country with 2006 jeep commanders around the same mileage. One owner commented that he invested $600 in parts that were not the problem to begin with, there are no codes for this issue. Finally, the people working on it decided it was the powertrain control module and that seemed to fix the problem.
Petition for the continuation of a defect investigation into unintended acceleration of the 2006 jeep commander vehicle, her mother was killed while operating her 2006 jeep commander.
Transmission stop shifting properly and shuttering in motion..took it to transmission shop, they said transmission needed replaced. Got new transmission, still had same problem. Took it back to shop, they did a second repair and charged me $2959.50. They didnt described what they did the second time. I had no problems since..so far.
While driving the commander at various speeds everything suddenly turns off. Acceleration is immediately decreased and all dashboard functions are gone. I have to shift to neutral and re-start the engine, all while still driving. This is very dangerous. I have had this car for 2 months.
I was driving to drop my son off at school and when i would press the gas, it wasn't moving like it should've been. It was barely moving, you could engine rev but it wasn't moving and didn't move until it got to 2, ig 2nd gear on the dash.

The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander limited. The contact was driving 65 mph when the engine stalled. The throttle control and traction warning lights illuminated during the failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where they confirmed that the throttle body needed to be replaced along with updates that needed to be performed on the computer. The manufacturer was contacted but the vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 87,147 and the current mileage was 90,000.
I was stopped at an intersection. When i proceeded to go across the intersection, the vehicle started going but very slowly no matter how much i pressed the accelerator and there were cars coming at me. It drove very slowly for a couple of blocks and i came to another stop.as i started to go into the intersection again, the vehicle started off very slowly even with the accelerator to the floor. As i proceeded it went a little faster but not much faster. My daughter informed me that this same thing happened to her earlier when she was driving the jeep and she turned it off and she cut it off completely then restarted it and it ran fine. I proceeded to do the same thing(cutting it off completely and turning it back on) and it ran well again. When i took it to the dealership, they sad that they were unable to duplicate the same problem and can not fix what they can't find.
2006 jeep commander.consumer writes in regards to sudden acceleration.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.
While attempting to get on the highway the jeep lost power at approximately 35mph from the on ramp on to the right lane of the freeway.all the lights shut off, all the gauges shut down, and the vehicle began to slow down.it lasted approximately 4-5 seconds, and after stepping on the accelerator, the jeep re-engaged and was able to be driven to a safe destination.the jeep is under recall p41 for ignition switch issues, which may or may not be causing the issues, but the parts are not available from chrysler.the parts have not been manufactured and/or distributed.it is possible the vehicle has a bad control module.the recall for faulty control modules was issued sept. 21, 2014 but this make and model was not covered in that recall ... Although it seems likely it is having similar issues.
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.
This has been the 3rd time this type of event happens, the first time was at a city street driving straight forward at 30-35mph and the engine started stalling, truck completely went off, head lights would go on and off, along with my interior dashboard indicators and media center. Second time, same thing, and the third time while driving at about 35-40mph in a city street and gradually slowing down to10-15mph to make a left the truck completely went off, head lights would go on and off, along with my interior dashboard indicators and media center. It seem like i had turned off the engine completely for like a split second. I though it might've been that i hit the key with my knee, but i pulled over restarted the engine after 15 min, and the problem continued. All the lights would go on and off and the engine power would shut down, when putting the gears, it would sound very forcing. I turned it off again and waited 30 min, restarted the truck again it did the problem for a few seconds and then it was like nothing ever happened.
My jeep commander has a recall, i took it in right away and was told part not available. It has been over a year and still not fixed. The dealership says no parts in yet and its been over one year. One year and i have made multiple trips and calls to the rio vista california chrysler dealership and their response is that chrysler is to send me a letter when the part is available. Dealership is saying part not available. This is a safety issue and my children's safety comes first. I'm appalled at how this has been handled. I've been patient for too long.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. The contact was exiting a residential driveway at low speed when the vehicle sputtered abnormally. The failure progressed and the vehicle began to stall without warning when driving at least 55 mph. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the contact was informed that the failure was caused by a defect in the air conditioning system. The vehicle was repaired yet the failure persisted. The contact also experienced unintended acceleration and hesitation in the vehicle. Most recently, the gear shift selector became stuck in neutral. The contact called the manufacturer and was awaiting a return call. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000 and the current mileage was approximately 75,000.
Was driving on highway and car went in to manual mode to neutral and will not come out of 3rd gear
While driving the car shut off.no speed or power steering.this occurred on a busy road and a crash was avoided.i have called chrysler and was told the recall parts are still unavailable.

Hello, my 2006 jeep commander started stalling out over a year ago and has stalled on me on and off various times at different speeds but usually at a higher rate of speed, which has been very scary. I have chosen not to drive the vehicle anymore and now it is sitting in my driveway and i am driving a 1991 honda because i cannot afford to buy a new car at this time. I just paid this jeep off and now i cannot drive the vehicle. The dealer fixed the one recall on the vehicle called the front control module and it ran fine for a couple of weeks and now once again the car stalled out while i was headed to a camping trip with my kids a couple months ago going 50 mph and almost caused an accident. I was almost hit by a semi and several cars were honking and trying to avoid my jeep. I lose all power steering and there are no notifications that the car will stall so it is very scary and dangerous for me and my children. I am so upset that i cannot drive the car and feel safe. I have contacted jeep and they have a recall for 2006 jeep commanders that covers up to january 2006 and my vehicle was made in march so they told me there is nothing they can do. The recall was for the pcm which my car has the same code on the diagnosis but now they are telling me to take it to the dealer and i have to pay for this. I really hope that this situation can be resolved by jeep stepping up and taking care of this issue for the safety of people.
While sitting at a stoplight vehicle will not accelerate feels as the loss of power. Vehicle does not want to move then told it's in some sort of safety mode i think the lead frame is failing from what i can tell. Vehicle sitting at a stoplight fails to accelerate barely moves
This issue has happened three times now, i have been driving on the freeway at about 70 mph and all of a sudden there is a ding on the dash board and the car stalls, and the engine light comes on. Once you shut down the car and start it again the car works fine but the engine light stays on for a couple of hours, according to jeep they charge for a diagnosis and i see online that this is happening a lot in my type of vehicle but jeep has yet to acknowledge it. I think it is very dangerous since i have been driving on a freeway where people are driving as fast or faster than me and could cause a problem.

The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 126,000.
2006 jeep commander idling up on its own and engine made a loud noise.*mwthe dealer informed the consumer, the noise was normal for a hemi engine.the consumer was then informed, the problem was the throttle. Also when it rained, the consumer discovered water on the driver's side floor. The dealer was unable to find a leak.
Would driving like 25 mph the car stops and engine shot offalso light coming on the inside and the air conditioned it does t work low you have to put it always until high the way it can startworking also problem with the engine making a noise like rcrccrcrcrcrcrccrclike the manifold or exhaust problems this car is sooo weird i already took it to the private mechanic and they can t do anything cause the manufactured problems.
When almost stopped the engine revved up like the vehicle was power braking..it happened twice on jan 15, 2015 and again on jan16, 2015...it threw us forward and thankfully we had enough distance between us and the vehicle stopped at the red light in front of us that we did not hit it....i consider this a safety hazard.it makes me leery to drive when it is acting like this...we did not have any previous problems with the jeep before this date.i reported this to chrysler and they told me there was nothing they could do about it..i would need to take it to a dealer and have it checked out at my expense.we have not driven the vehicle since jan. 16th.
The problem started in january 2019. The vehicle started having idling issues, cold start in morning idlesaround 900, when put in reverse it dips to around 500 and wobbles back and forth while backing up, put in drive and it would be ok but would stall sometimes at stop sign- check engine light never came on. I had throttle body cleaned and fuel system service done and the engine light came on same day. Took it to the dealer for recalls and they replaced throttle body also. It drove ok for a day and i have the unstable idle back and the rpm jumps up while in drive but stopped at a light. About a week ago i am slowing down to stop at a light ahead and it starts vibrating like it is going to stall and the etc and tcs light came on and i shut it off and it cranked right back up and drove it the rest of the day with no issue. Etc light will come on while driving and cause no issues other than the unstable idle.

At different times, i and a friend driving my jeep 2006 5.7l hemi commander have accidentally shut off the vehicle while driving on a highway doing 65mph while in cruise control.how this happens is like this. Depending on how you sit, when you engage the cruise control, you remove your foot from the accelerator which brings your knee up rather close to the key ignition. If you have anything attached to your key chain such as other keys that dangle down, then all it takes is for you to move your knee to the right thereby knocking the key chain with the dangling keys which will in turn move the key in the ignition to the off position, basically shutting off the engine while you are doing 65mph on the highway.when this happens, you probably wouldn't realize that this is what just took place because you're too busy being a little freaked out about having just lost all engine power but the electrical still works. This has happened 3 times.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. While driving approximately 50 mph, the cruise control was engaged and the vehicle accelerated to approximately 80 mph.

My 2006 commander with 40,000 miles has had the following problems since it came off the lot.the vehicle stalls and i obviously lose power and steering but there are no error messages in the computer, the 4wd does not engage - the warning light for that comes on but there's no error message in the computer. The window's roll up and down incorrectly - the gasket on the exhaust manifold has been replaced and the kicker of all problems is when the vehicle goes through a minor puddle of water or the automatic car wash the steering wheel locks completely until the water is gone - try driving that in the rain- jeep was finally able to duplicate that problem by putting a garden hose under the car and squirting water on the underside of the vehicle - this problem apparently cannot be fixed and they can't believe that no other jeep owner's aren't throwing fits.so much for the lemon law - the steering problem wasn't taken seriously by the previous jeep dealers -i went to a different dealer altogether however, it's too late.
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.
My 2006 jeep commander continually stalls, threatening the lives of whoever is in the car. There is no warning. Suddenly there will be a complete loss of control over the vehicle. No warning lights, no bells, sounds, whistles...nothing! the only way to remedy is to turn vehicle off and restart. This turns in to a life threatening incident when the traffic behind you is unaware that you are in fact stalled. The dealership has no updates or complaints of this problem (ya, right) and drives it around the block...with no incidences occurring. If they think it's going to happen while they're driving the vehicle, they're wrong. I 'm risking my families lives every time we get in the car. It's the most expensive piece of junk i've ever owned! visibility out the rear window when the 3rd row seats are up is just about zero. This is extremely dangerous. You can't see cars, kids, or your neighbors house when you're trying to see what's behind you. Driver's side locks on it's own. Luckily the passenger doors remain unlocked, so i haven't locked myself out...yet.

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.
While driving - usually at night and at all speeds my headlights will flicker like a strobe light and then go off completely, including the interior lights as well indicating my speed, etc..sometimes i can use my high beams to at least be able to see, however, even sometimes this does not work.very, very dangerous to not be able to see or be seen at night in random places on the freeway, in the city, etc....please someone help - dealer states that they have no clue as to what the problem might be!!another problem, i have been dealing with, is the air conditioner in the vehicle will stop and not blow any air.i took it to the dealership and they stated that they did not have the part to fix my car.on top of that they gave me a piece of my car that apparently fell off, while they were inspecting it??!!?? they told me it was not their fault and that it is a faulty piece called the housing which is part of the inlet housing and that it would cost $1,156.38 to fix.unbelievable!
Was driving the vehicle first noticed the electric mirrors turned upward and unable to correct.then the left window went down and moves up or down at random.the electric door locks became inoperative from driver side. The warning gauges started to go off and on and display started to flash different problems with the vehicle. While driving the next day the cruise control went off and everything started flashingthis has happened several times and have put the vehicle in the shop.i have a video that i took while driving.

I have had my 2006 jeep commander for a year and in that time period i have had a consistent problem. When i am driving the vehicle i will randomly lose power to the instrument panel,windows , windshield wipers and almost everything electrical. The engine will continue to run but if it happens at night i lose interior lights dash lights i can't see how fast i am going due to the panel not working. I have had it to the mechanic and he insists it has something to do with the ignition switch. I know a recall has been issued for a separate ignition problem but after reading online and seeing many other reports just like mine i,believe there is another issue to be handled. This problem is also making it impossible to get the vehicle inspected because when it acts up it cause the check engine light to come on and has to be reset. Then before all sensors have reset it occurs again. I have spent a small fortune is gas trying to get lucky to be able to pass inspection.
Had cruise control set to 65 mph on the freeway. Out of nowhere the car began accelerating on its own to reaching speeds of 85 mph. If cruise control is turned on now it accelerates on its own and i ma not able to control the speed at all.have taken car to dealership but they say nothing is wrong. Front windshield leaks and lets in too much air. I should not have to pay for repairs since it is a defect. Driver side window does not go down. Now rear passenger side window is starting to get stuck.have replaced driver side switch and the problem still exists. Front passenger window goes down but thedriver side which has controls to all the windows does not work for any of the windows.my car accelerates on its own on a daily basis. It can go from 35 mph to uncontrollable speeds.taken to dealership several times but they never find the problems. Dealership cant even figure out what is wrong with the electrical windows.
Approximately 40 miles from home, on a day with the temperature well below zero degrees fahrenheit, we rolled our front windows down to talk to our neighbors, who were shopping at the same mall as us.after visiting with them, our windows would not roll back up.our family had to drive in freezing weather back home, on a sunday, with the windows rolled down.on the way, by rapidly depressing the windows lock button, while my wife repeatedly pulled up on the front passenger window switch, we got her window to roll up.we never could get the drivers front window to roll up.i replaced the master switch assembly on the drivers door panel, but that did not help.the dealership told me that i probably have multiple broken wires in the wire bundle in the door hinge area.jeep has not, to my knowledge, addressed this problem at all.the internet forums are chock-full of hundreds and hundreds of consumers that have had, and are having this same problem.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. The contact stated that while driving approximately 50 mph, the vehicle suddenly stalled. Upon restart, the vehicle operated as normal. The vehicle was taken an authorized dealer where they were unable to diagnose the failure. The vehicle was repaired, by a previous owner, under the recall associated with nhtsa campaign id number 08v203000 (power train:automatic transmission:control module (cm, pcm)). The contact also stated that there was a burning odor coming from the air vents. Since the presence of the burning odor, the air conditioner no longer functioned. There was also a failure within the passenger side window, in which the window would roll down when the button was engaged to make the window roll up, and the interior dome lights would involuntarily turn on and off. The vehicle was not taken to be repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 37,000.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep commander.while driving 45 mph, the vehicle shut off and there was a total loss of power.the vehicle was able to be restarted.the failure has occurred on four occasions and the dealer has been unable to duplicate the failure.the current mileage was 9,800 and failure mileage was 8,000.the consumer provided the invoices for repair. The dealer stated windows are malfunctioning they only go halfway up and come right back down. Updated 08/22/07
I purchased a 2006 jeep commander last year.i have had the following items replaced on my jeep front passenger interior door panel.strange noise coming from my car that sounded like playing cards in bike tires ended with replacing front axel ring and pinion.car kept popping out of gear the entire gear shift was replaced. My passenger window had to be fixed it kept sticking halfway up. I had a problem where my car kept stalling.i was told the first time that no error appears on the computer and jeep knew of no issue with cars stalling so maybe it was bad gas.it died several more times and finally they did replace a part inside the idol.i also had an issue where my headlights kept turning off as i drove or would flash on and off.they replaced the headlight switch. I have had the rubber stripping from my back driver side window come off and now it is occurring on the passenger side. From the beginning i have told them i do not feel my transmission is working properly that it shifts hard and when i shift from reverse to drive there is a big hesitation.i have been told no error is appearing on computer and that jeep as usual has no known issues so they had no suggestions.once again they thought it was a gas issue moving from winter to summer blend.the last time i had it in when it was stalling i told them it the transmission was still hesitating and would make a pop noise at times then it would go.it is still occurring and at times the car acts like it might not shift into drive.i am satisfied with how my dealership is working with me they are doing their best to help me.i blame jeep/chrysler all you have to do is search the web to see that there are so many others just like me with the exact same issue.they need to recall these cars now and if they can not find the problem then replace them for us.
The door handles began to fall apart creating a hazard. Some of the doors do not open just the drivers for now. I have looked on forums and noticed that this has happened to other owners with the same model. In addition, theback passenger side window rolls up and down on occasion and gets stuck.
Power window switch sometimes fails to work causing windows to stay stuck in open position.

I own a 2006 jeep commander 4x4 v8. I have had a ton of problems with it. It makes a terrible wind noise coming from the windshield, my ac sounds like a freight train when switch to or from ac, and the most dangerous is that my car dies while turning on a regular basis. I have taken the car in and the dealer tells me they can not find the problem. I am so annoyed with my death trap. I drive around my 3 kids, my husband, and myself. I fear for ours lives being in this car. It is unsafe and will end up killing someone one day.
Windshield easily cracks. Door handles is wobbly and then cracks and falls out of panel.
When ator below freezing the windshield wipers will not make contact w/the windshield in certain areas. Medved chrysler /jeep replaced the windshield wiper blades,whichalready wasreplaced with3 different types prior to them,it did not change.they then replaced the r/f wiper arm, with no change.i asked if the windshield could be the problem, chrysler would not replace the windshield. Elite replaced the windshield @ no charge to medved or me.it became even worse!!!!i have seen other commanders driving towards me w/the same problems in the same area of the windshield. The zone rep for chrysler even stated "mine does the same thing."the obstruction of view directly in front of the driver and passenger is dangerous!! chrysler "can't see any physical defect"so it is not a problem.the service manager for the castle rock branch of medved was able to see it all happen firsthand. He called chyrsler,and they blew him off as w/the the first time he called them w/ my complaint.i have called chrysler's 1-800 number and they were less than helpfull, said "it is up to the dealer you took it to to make a decision. They have done all they can; this is a engeniringor windshield manufacturer defect that is dangerous!this vehicle cannot be driven @ or below freezing w/out the windshield wipers loosing total contact in a circle pattern directly in the drivers and passengers direct line of vision in front of the vehicle, only changed by pulling over and blasting the windshield w/full heat and full defrostwith the wipers on medium/high until the circles are gone. Once driven again the circles start small and become larger the more you drive it even w/full heat and defrost!! the defroster air flow seems good in the center of the windshiedl but lower as it goes out to either side.
Windshield isn't sealed properly which causes a loud whistling noise while driving. Dealer could not fix problem. Further more, the seal problem seems to make the windshield more sensitive to being damaged.
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.
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.
Have 3 chips in windshield.seems the design is flawed and stones etc don't skip over like other models they hit straight on the glass and chip or break.
I just read an article in newspaper about the jeep commander's stalling problem. This has happened to me, but luckily, not at a high speed on the highway. The commander has only stalled once on me, actually, within the last week, while driving, but many times it seriously hesitates when i start to accelerate. Questions to dealer said maybe it was poor gas, or a vapor lock (about the stalling)? i never had it documented with them about the stall, now after reading this article, i am concerned. The stall happened within the last week, so it has not been back to dealer. It started right up after i coasted to side of road, and placed in park.have there been any complaints on the windshield angle, i have gone through three from rocks!!! glass very straight up! i do like the truck though.purchase date approximate. I do like dealer, and have not addressed this problem to them (stall), because it only happened once, and i was unaware of current problem being looked into. I just wanted you to report mine in with your statistics.
I took my 2006 jeep commander to my local dealer where i originally purchased it to get the stalling problem fixed. Five days later the service manager said that the problem was now solved (august 24,2007) finally. The service department said they put in a new program that would fix the jeep from just losing power. August 25 saturday morning at 8:13 while at an intersection the jeep just died again. Another problem is the windshield breaking easily. I believe the problem with the breaking windshield could be related to the inproper fitting of the windshield which results in a loud noise being heard inside the vehicle. The dealership said they won't fix the seal problem because my jeep has two cracks on it. I said "if you had fixed the windshield seal problem the first 3 times i brought it in we wouldn't have this problem'. No problems have yet to be solved. Ancira dealership in san antonio,tx. Many jeep owners are purchasing multiple windshields at $385 a pop. The dealer tried to say it's just me until i pointed out all the other complaints in writing with all different vin numbers and even showed her the rental car (jeep commander) which also had a cracked windshield. She's convinced too.
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.
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.
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.
Front windshield cracks (2) in 1st 3,000 miles.
Windshield cracked from road stone.2 windshields replaced in 3 weeks.
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!
Within 500 miles of owning a new 2006 jeep commander, a small stone glanced off the windshield leaving a chip.almost immediately, the chip began to run.a few days later, some mud was flicked up by a lawnmower shattering the window in a number of places.funny thing is, the paint stood up to the thrown mud but the windshield shattered.
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.
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.
Front windshieldseems to be easily damaged. I initially thought it was just another pebble but when it happen again while i was driving down my neighborhood street i realized something was wrong. I think the problems i'm having with a whistling noise that's heard while driving which points to a seal problem are associated. When a windshield is not properly fitted it can lead to the glass being more sensitive to damage. My dealer would not fix the seal until i replaced the windshield until i pointed out they are associated.
We purchased a 2006 jeep commander in july of 2006. Since we have owned it, we have had 2 rock chips, that we have had patched. Since then, we have 4 different cracks that have all started below the windshield wipers, and all 4 cracks started within 24 hours of each other. First, it seems that jeep commanders are much more susceptible to rock chips than any other car that we have ever owned. Second, the latest 4 cracks do not seem to even have started from rock chips, but since they have all started from the bottom of the windshield, below the windshield wipers (when the wipers were not being used at all), this seems to us to be some kind of design flaw with the commander's windshield. Perhaps the windshields are just too big, too straight, with little to no slope at all, or just not made sturdy enough.it just seems that there is a design or quality problem with the windshield, and we are concerned about the jeep dealership that we went to not being willing to repair this problem under warranty. We don't drive our cars on gravel roads at all, we have not driven them through any construction zone areas. We drive them on normal, generally good condition roads, and it doesn't seem reasonable that in 9 months time, we have had 2 rock chips, and now 4 different cracks. We don't feel that we should be responsible to pay $500 to have a windshield repaired, that we are concerned with once it is repaired that the same problem will continue to happen, again and again. We have talked to a few other commander owners, and they have all experienced the same problem we are having. One couple that we know that owns a commander is on their 3rd windshield. There seems to be an issue with not just us, but other commander owners also. We are wondering what jeep plans to do to rectify this problem? is a recall being considered? is a better, stronger, windshield even a possibility, or is the windshield is just too large, and too straight up and down to not constantly have this 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 theywereunwilling to do anything about it. The glue used to bond the vehicle pieces at the pinch welds wassoft, and couldbe 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.

My 2006 jeep commander has had a number of defects. The most costly has been that it leaks when it rains or goes through a car wash. I have had the sunroof clean out and the problems "fixed" in september but it has begun leaking again.when the vehicle had 38,000 miles on it i had to have the bearings in thedriverside front wheel replaced costing me over 300.00 dollars. My mechanics informed me that the vehicle was to young to be having this part replaced.i'm just currently waiting for something else to go bad on my "young" vehicle.
The metal valve stem of the tire pressure monitoring system corrodes where it passes through the wheel and results in unexpected sudden loss of tire pressure. Amber tpms warning light comes on and vehicle is immediately difficult to control/steer. Once vehicle is stopped, air can be heard and felt escaping from valve stem area on wheel and one can watch the tire continue to deflate. This has happened twice on my vehicle at highway speeds: 01-2009 at 111,000 and 05-2013 at 219,000.
