2006 JEEP COMMANDER Electrical System Problems

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD NOISE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, FOLLOWED BY NO RESPONSE. THE CONTACT MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS BEFORE THE VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. IMMEDIATELY, THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE SPEEDOMETER AND NUMEROUS INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES STOPPED WORKING. THE VEHICLE STALLED UNEXPECTEDLY AND THE WARNING INDICATORS REMAINED ILLUMINATED UNTIL THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AND WAS ABLE TO RESUME NORMAL OPERATION. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURES. THEY SUGGESTED THAT THE IGNITION COULD BE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR IDENTICAL FAILURES, BUT THERE WERE NO RESOLUTIONS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,010 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 92,000.

I HAVE A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW IN JANUARY 2006. WHEN I DRIVE THEN ENGINE WILL STALL - USUALLY WHEN MAKING A SHARP RIGHT TURN. ALSO, ALL OF THE LIGHTS WILL GO OFF AND THEN COME BACK ON IN THE AREA WHERE THE SPEEDOMETER IS. BEING AS THIS IS ELECTRICAL FAULT, I AM AFRAID MY CAR WILL CATCH ON FIRE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. IN MAY OF 2006, THE CONTACT BEGAN EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN HIS VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT CHANGE GEARS AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS WERE CONSTANTLY ILLUMINATED. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES AND THEY REPROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER, WHICH ALLOWED THE VEHICLE TO PERFORM NORMALLY FOR A WHILE. ON APRIL 25, 2008, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AND REMAINED LOCKED IN THIRD GEAR WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO HIS RESIDENCE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. PREVIOUSLY, THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A REPAIR SHOP TO BE DIAGNOSED AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE CONTROL MODULE FAILED; HOWEVER, THE DEALER CONTINUES TO STATE THAT THERE IS NO FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,166 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

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...

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...

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE, IT BEGAN VIBRATING AND MAKING A LOUD GRINDING NOISE. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. ONCE IT FINALLY RESTARTED, ALL OF THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS FAILED. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AUTOMATICALLY AND CRASHED INTO A POLE. THE CONTACT WAS UNINJURED. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN AWAY FROM THE SCENE AND WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE ENTIRE COMPUTER SYSTEM FAILED, INCLUDING THE CLOCK, HEATING AND COOLING SYSTEM, SPEEDOMETER, AND ALL OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS OF THE VEHICLE. ON A SEPARATE OCCASION, THE EMISSIONS WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY DID NOT KNOW WHY THE EMISSIONS INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THEY REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 27,500.

2006 JEEP COMMANDER WITH 5.7L HEMI STALLS WHILE DRIVING AT ALL LEVELS OF SPEED WITHOUT WARNING. ALL POWER IS LOST, AND I HAD TWO INSTANCES OF THIS OCCUR WITHIN ONE WEEK WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN. THREE VISITS TO THE DEALER VIA TOW TRUCK IN TWO WEEKS AND AFTER I WAS TOLD IT WAS DONE YESTERDAY, SIX MILES INTO MY RIDE HOME, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS IS A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION. BUILD DATE IS 5/06. ALL TSBS HAVE BEEN APPLIED TO NO AVAIL. NEED HELP!! *TR

DECEMBER 2007 - MY 06 JEEP COMMANDER STARTED WITH ELECTRICAL ISSUES. EVERYTIME, I WOULD HEAR A CLICK, THAN ALL THE LIGHTS IN MY DASH GO OFF, THAN BACK ON.. SINCE THEN IT'S DONE THIS SEVERAL TIMES, ALONG WITH A SMALL PUDDLE OF WATER IN MY RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE. I'VE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY'VE DONE EVERYTHING BUT LOOK OR FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY'VE REPLACE SINOIDS AND SHIFTERS (ALL UNDER WARRANTY) BUT NOTHING HAVING TO DO WITH THE ELECTRICAL. MY VEHICLE HAS NEVER STALLED, BUT LATELY THIS ELECTRICAL ISSUE IS HAPPENING MORE THAN EVER. MY DEALER HAS TOLD ME THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING MORE AND TO FILE LEMON LAW ~ THIS WAS CHECKED INTO BUT BECAUSE I'M OVER MY MILEAGE I CAN'T REALLY DO MUCH. THE WORST PART ABOUT THIS WHOLE MESS IS I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE TO FEEL SAFE, AND NOW I FEEL THAT THIS IS THE...

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 HAVE NOT 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...

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. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WARNING INDICATORS SUDDENLY BEGAN FLASHING AND THEN COMPLETELY DIMMED. AFTERWARDS, THE ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AS WELL. THE WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE NOT A FACTOR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE RESTARTED IMMEDIATELY.

THE VEHICLE DASH SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL AND STALLS. *TR

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? *TR

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.. *TR

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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 COMMANDER RESTARTED 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. *JB

MY WIFE'S JEEP COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHILE GOING 45 MILES AN HOUR 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. I HAVE 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...

I HAVE A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER WITH ONLY 13,000 MILES ON IT AND IT HAS STALLED TWICE WHILE DRIVING. DEALERSHIP HAS SEEN IT ONCE AND RELOADED COMPUTER SOFTWARE TO SEE IF THAT FIXES THE PROBLEM. THE SECOND TIME OCCURRED AFTER THAT SO IT'S BEING TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REVIEW. I AM NERVOUS ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY/CHILDREN. *JB

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...

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...

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. WHEN THE CONTACT STARTED THE VEHICLE, THE HEADLIGHTS AND INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE. HE STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES FAILED TO WORK AS WELL. WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNED IN EITHER DIRECTION WITHOUT APPLYING THE BRAKES, THE ABS WOULD ENGAGE AND THE VEHICLE DECELERATED. THE CONTACT FELT THE PULSATING VIBRATION THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL AND HEARD THE ABS ENGAGE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH AND GREATER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE, HOWEVER, THEY RESET THE CODES IN THE VEHICLE. TWO WEEKS LATER, WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DIFFERENT DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE REMOTE START MODULE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE AND FOUR WHEEL DRIVE LIGHTS WOULD OFTEN ILLUMINATE AND DIM AUTOMATICALLY. THE CURRENT AND...

CAR STALLS ON THE HIGHWAY. HAVE TO RENT A CAR UNTIL THE DEALERSHIP CAN FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. WAS INITIALLY TOLD THAT IT WAS A POWERTRAIN ISSUE AND A NEW COMPUTER WAS PUT IN BUT IT STILL SITS AT THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE NO ONE KNOWS WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT.

I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER STALLING ON ME. I HAVE HAD IT SERVICED THREE TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND EACH TIME I AM TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM CAN NOT BE DUPLICATED AND NO ACTION WAS TAKEN. MOST RECENTLY THE VEHICLE STALLED ON ME IN STOP AND GO RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON THE FREEWAY. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR. *JB

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. *TR

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.

WE OWN 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 HAPPENED USUALLY ONCE A DAY. IT HAS BEEN TO THE LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP FOUR TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM, SO THEY STATED THAT THEY COULD DO NOTHING TO REPAIR IT. THIS WAS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM BECAUSE IT IMPAIRED ONE'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...

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.
