2006 JEEP COMMANDER Electrical System 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 MPH AND ALL DASH BOARD LIGHTS CAME ON AND IT JUST STALLED. ANOTHER TIME STALLED SITTING AT RED LIGHT AND ALL DASH BOARD LIGHTS CAME ON AND IT STALLED. AND OVER 10 TIMES 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'T THE 2006 COMMANDERS BEEN RECALLED? THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM. I COULD BE IN...

MULTIPLE TIMES; WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE STALLS. VEHICLE FLUCTUATES WHILE IDLING AND THEN FINALLY STALLS. *TR

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...

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. *KB

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY ABOUT TO GO OVER A BRIDGE WHEN THE DASHBOARD LIGHT STARTING BLINKING ON AND OFF. THE CAR THEN STALLED AND I LOST ALL FUNCTIONS OF THE VEHICLE, I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO PULL OVER WITH OUT INCIDENT. THE CAR THEN DID START RIGHT BACK UP. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS AND COMPONENTS TO BLINK 2 OTHER TIMES SINCE (TAKING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL THIS MORNING IS THE MOST RECENT TIME). LUCKILY THE CAR DID NOT STALL THESE OTHER TIMES. HOWEVER, WHEN IT BEGINS TO HAPPEN I CANNOT START FREAKING OUT THAT MY CAR IS GOING TO ALL OF A SUDDEN SHUT DOWN. *TR

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. *TT

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. *TR

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. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR CONDITIONER, HEATER AND INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS WOULD ACTIVATE SPORADICALLY WHEN ENGAGED. THE LIGHTS WOULD FLICKER AND THE AIR CONDITIONER AND HEAT WOULD SHUT OFF AND ON. WHEN THE FAILURE WOULD OCCUR, THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL AS WELL AND THE ONLY WARNING WAS THAT THE LIGHTS WOULD FLICKER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED OR REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 42,000.

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! *TR

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...

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. *TR

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...

TRANSMISSION CONTROL SWITCH 2006 JEEP COMMANDER WHEN GOING DOWN THE ROAD GOES FROM DRIVE TO 3RD GEAR I ALMOST GOT HIT IN THE REAR BY ANOTHER CAR CHECK NENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND YOU CANT GET IT OUYT OF 3RD GEAR. *TR

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. *KB

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

TL* 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.

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...

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

I 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 AT A 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...

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...

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...

2006 JEEP COMMANDER LTD 5.7L. INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS FLASH RANDOMLY. LOSS OF POWER AND CAR STALLS WITHOUT WARNING. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE SAME VEHICLE BUT WITH A DIFFERENT ENGINE SIZE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM BUT NOT THIS MODEL EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW IT HAS THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

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! *TR

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 *TR

MY CAR HAS HAD SERIOUS ISSUES SINCE BUYING IT. NOW I HAVE A SERIOUS ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THAT THE DEALER CAN NOT DIAGNOSE. THAT HAS BEEN THE CASE FROM DAY ONE OF BUYING THE CAR. I AM FEARING A ELECTRICAL FIRE AND THE DEALER HAS THROWN UP THEIR HANDS AND DON'T KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THE ISSUE. CHRYSLER HAS NEVER HELPED ME WITH THIS AUTO BUT WAS GOING TO DECLARE IT AT ONE POINT A LEMON BUT WANTED TO CHARGE ME A OUT RAGEOUS USAGE FEE RIGHT AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR.

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...

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. *TR

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...

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.

SHE WAS ABLE TO SHUT THE ENGINE OFF, RESTART IT, AND CONTINUE DRIVING NORMALLY. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY WERE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THIS TYPE OF FAILURE AND THAT THERE WERE NO EXISTING RECALLS. THEY ALSO ADVISED HER TO HAVE THE VEHICLE INSPECTED; HOWEVER, SHE CHOSE NOT TO SINCE THERE WAS A FEE. THE COMPUTER INDICATED THAT THE CONTROL MODULE CAUSED THE FAILURE TO OCCUR. NHTSA CAMPAIGN 08V059000, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS ALSO RELATED TO THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 82000.

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.

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...

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...
