2006 JEEP COMMANDER Engine Problems

The contact owns a 2006 Jeep Commander. The contact stated while driving approximately 10 MPH in a parking lot the vehicle stalled. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated the failure was intermittent but a recurring failure. The contact stated that the failure occurred at various speeds. The contact stated that the 12-Volt battery had been replaced approximately 2 years ago due to battery drainage issues. The contact stated that the failure with the 12-Volt battery being drained and had jumpstart the vehicle several times. The contact researched online and related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 08V203000 (Power Train); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The contact also replaced the ECM module independently. The contact had not taken the vehicle to a local dealer or independent mechanic. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 200,000.

Radiator coolant system failed and caused the engine to overheat and loss of power while traveling on an interstate highway. Pulled over to side of highway. The vehicle was towed to a private mechanic shop. The shop evaluated the engine could not start as it had seized from overheating. It was determined that the radiator plastic end caps suddenly failed causing the engine to overheat and seize. The radiator temperature is very high and the plastic and aluminum materials expand and contract at different rates therefore weakening the connection between the two materials until the part fails. This is a bad design, application, and mix of materials in a part that does follow the basic principles of thermodynamics.

The contact owns a 2006 Jeep Commander. The contact stated while driving 35 MPH, the vehicle started losing engine power and then the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was able to restart after one attempt. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 115,000.

Transmission over temp is a never ending light that lights up daily. I've had 3 reprogrammed PCMs and the ECM replaced as well. The car was also reprogrammed at the dealership twice with the results the same. It will work for a couple days then right back to the original issue and including a few more. Recently the trans over temp came on and stalled in rush hour traffic. Resulting in a almost serious accident. Several attempts made to restart the car. Started and stalled immediately. After the 4th time and reving the engine very hard it stayed running. I've called the recall line on this and several other recalls (1 that was under warranty) with no resolution. This is now a safety issue for me and others on the road. This car is a lemon and should be taken off the road. I've waisted money at the dealership being...

The contact owns a 2006 Jeep Commander. The contact stated while driving at 55-65 MPH, several unknown warning lights were illuminated and the vehicle lost electrical power temporarily. The contact stated that he veered to the side of the road and inspected the vehicle but could not determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who informed the contact that the failure could not be replicated. The contact stated that the failure had been reoccurring increasingly and the vehicle would stall while driving. Additionally, the contact stated that upon starting the vehicle, the vehicle would go into limp mode and would not shift out of third gear. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that the failure had been reoccurring intermittently. The contact also stated that the transmission was shifting hard.

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...

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 TO 10-15MPH 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...

2006 JEEP COMMANDER VEHICLES 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...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE IGNITION WAS TURNED TO OFF POSITION HOWEVER, AFTER EXITING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING. THE CONTACT RE-ENTERED THE VEHICLE AND PLACED THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, SHIFTED THE GEAR SHIFTER AND THE VEHICLE STARTED REVVING UP. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES, THE VEHICLE RETURNED TO NORMAL OPERATION WITH THE SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JACKSONVILLE CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM ARLINGTON (9600 ATLANTIC BLVD., JACKSONVILLE, FL 32225) TO BE DIAGNOSED HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS A MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 116,000.

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. *TR

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...

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...

WHILE DRIVING THE 2006 KEEP COMMANDER THE VEHICLE WILL START STALLING FROM DRIVING AS YOU PRESS THE GAS IT WILL NOT PULL AND MAKE A LOUD NOISE AND TURN OFF. THERE WAS A LOT OF SMOKE THAT CAME FROM THE HOOD OF THE CAR. WHEN YOU TRY TO START IT BACK UP IT WILL NOT START AND KEEP MAKING A WEIRD NOISE LIKE IT'S OUT OF GAS. 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.

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...

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

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.

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.

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.

I HAVE A 06 JEEP COMMANDER WITH THE 5.7 HEMI. I HAVE BEEN HAVING A PROBLEM TIED THE VEHICLE STALLING 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 ACCIDENTS BUT WAS TOLD BY COUNTLESS JEEP DEALERS THERE IS NO ISSUE.

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.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND MY VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAMS ON.

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 WHEN JEEP 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...

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..

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.

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.

ENGINES SURGES CONTINUOSLY. RPM'S SURGE.

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...

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!
