2006 JEEP COMMANDER Engine And Engine Cooling Problems

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 STARTED THE CAR AGAIN AND PUT IT IN DRIVE AND IT STILL GOES TO 3RD GEAR AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON. MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT FIRESTONE AND I'M WAITING TO GET A CALL ABOUT MY TRUCK. HAS ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE AND IF SO, HOW WAS IT RESOLVED? *TR

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. *TR

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...

TL* 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. *TR UPDATED 7/22/13 *CN THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. IT RE-STARTED IMMEDIATELY AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AND TURNING THE IGNITION OFF AND BACK ON.

I WAS PULLING OUT OF A GAS STATION, WHEN MY COMMANDER STALLED. ITS THE SECOND TIME IN TWO MONTHS THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED. I LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT HUNDREDS OF COMMANDER OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.

VEHICLE STALLS WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT ANY WARNING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, VARIOUS CONDITIONS, AND VARIOUS SITUATIONS. *TR

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. *TR

THE VEHICLE HAS KIND OF BEEN STALLING A BIT, BUT BEEN OKAY. WELL, ON THE HIGHWAY LAST NIGHT, THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AND FORTUNATELY WAS ABLE TO GUIDE OFF TO THE SHOULDER IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON THE INTERSTATE. *TR

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. *TR

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...

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. *TR

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...

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!! *TR

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...

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED UNEXPECTEDLY. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND RESUME NORMAL OPERATION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRS TO THE VEHICLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

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 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

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

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...

IT HAS BEEN AT THE CERRITOS DODGE DEALERSHIP AT LEAST EVERY TWO WEEKS SINCE APRIL 2011..THEY CONTINUE TO FIX SOMETHING BUT TELL ME THAT CAR IS FINE AND THE NEXT WEEK IT IS BACK AGAIN.

2006 JEEP COMMANDER THEIR 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...
