Consumer Description

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.
