2006 JEEP COMMANDER Engine And Engine Cooling Problems

I OWN A JEEP COMMANDER 2006 5.7 LITER ENGINE. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER ABOUT A STALLING PROBLEM AND THEY TELL ME THAT IT DOES NOT REGISTER IN THE COMPUTER AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS WRONG. THIS TRUCK STALLS ABOUT 4 TIMES A WEEK IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. BEING THAT I HAVE A TODDLER AND A BABY I AM NOT SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE AND NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE. IT WILL JUST COMPLETELY TURN OFF AND I LOSE ALL STEERING. PLEASE HELP!! *TR

ON AT LEAST TEN DIFFERENT OCCASIONS THE 2006 JEEP COMMANDER HAS STALLED AT SPEEDS RANGING FROM 15 TO 70 MILES PER HOUR. POWER IS SHUT OFF COMPLETELY LEADING TO THE LOSS OF ALL FUNCTIONALITY. IF THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED SLIGHTLY, THE WHEEL LOCKS, LEAVING THE VEHICLE IN A SITUATION WHERE IT HAS TO COAST TO A STOP. THIS IS A TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE WITH SMALL CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. ACCIDENTS HAVE NEARLY OCCURRED AS A RESULT OF THIS HAPPENING. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVEN OCCASIONS WHEN THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED TO THE LOCAL DEALER WITH NOTHING ACCOMPLISHED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER BLAMES THE OPERATORS OF THE VEHICLE FOR HITTING THE KEY WITH THEIR KNEE. THIS IS NOT THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM AS IT OCCURS WHEN THE DRIVER'S KNEE IS NOWHERE NEAR THE KEY. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT APPARENTLY CAN NOT DUPLICATE THIS PROBLEM WHEN THEY SERVICE THE VEHICLE...

I BROUGHT MY JEEP INTO BE LOOKED AT BECAUSE IT STALLED ON ME WHEN I WAS DRIVING AND LOST POWER. LUCKILY I AM OKAY AND IT RESTART RIGHT AWAY. DEALER SHIP LOOKED AT IT AND FOUND "NOTHING" WRONG WITH IT. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT ESPECIALLY WHEN I HAVE TO DRIVE ON THE INTERSTATE TO WORK. I WISH THEY WOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. ITS SO RIDICULOUS. *TR

SOON AFTER I PURCHASE MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER SPORT 4X4 (5 SPEED)... I BEGAN TO DO SOME RESEARCH ON THIS VEHICLE (I SHOULD HAVE DONE THIS PRIOR TO THE PURCHASE)... I WAS GOING THROUGH THIS COMPLAINT DATABASE AND I WAS ALARMED TO READ THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS A HISTORY OF STALLING. WELL, IT FINALLY HAPPENED TO ME ON 11/4/2007 (WITH 11,600 EXACT MILEAGE) DRIVING HOME FROM SHOPPING WITH MY FAMILY. THE COMMANDER STALLED OUT ON DURING THE HIGHWAY MERGED. LUCKILY, I WAS IN THE FAR RIGHT LANE TO JUMP OFF THE HIGHWAY IMMEDIATELY. THE POWER LOSS THAT I EXPERIENCE WAS ONLY WITH ABILITY TO MOVE THE VEHICLE. MY DASHBOARDS LIGHTS, HEADLIGHTS, RADIO; BREAKS WERE FULLY OPERATIONAL (THANKFULLY). NO ACCIDENTS, NO INJURIES EXCEPT MY CHILDREN ARE NOW AFRAID OF BEING INSIDE OF THE COMMANDER. TO BE HONEST, SO AM I. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS REPORTS ON WHAT IS OCCURRING?.. EVERYTHING FROM...

WHILE DRIVING MY JEEP COMMANDER SHUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE JEEP BECOMES INOPERABLE, NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES. IT HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST A HALF DOZEN TIMES. I INITIALLY TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS! *TR

MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER STALLS ON ME WHY DRIVING. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR 8 MONTHS NOW. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THE CAR WILL SHUT DOWN ON YOU WHEN DRIVING. PROMPTING YOU TO HAVE TO BRING THE CAR TO A COMPLETE STOP TO RESTART. I HAVE BEEN DEALING FOR MONTHS ON THIS ISSUE AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. I AM I N A RENTAL CAR 90% OF THE TIME. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO GET OFF THEIR ASS AND DOING SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT. I AM INTERSTED AND FILEING A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST THEM. IF YOU ARE INTERSTED AND YOUR JEEP IS STALLING TOO. PLEASE CONTACT ME. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. THE VEHICLE STALLS UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH AND BELOW. THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY LOSES POWER AND MUST BE SHIFTED INTO PARK AND RESTARTED IN ORDER FOR THE ENGINE TO WORK PROPERLY. THE CONTACT HAS TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY CONDUCTED SEVERAL TESTS, BUT WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,500 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 33,900. UPDATED 01-14-08. *KB UPDATED 12/12/07. *JB

2006 JEEP COMMANDER V6 IDLES ROUGH WHEN STOPPED AND STARTS TO CUT OUT AS IF IT IS GOING TO STALL. *JB

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 DRIVING VEHICLE THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF AND THE RESULTED POWER FAILURE MAKES IT DANGEROUS TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES AND THE DEALERS SERVICE DEPARTMENT COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM OR REASON FOR THIS. *TR

MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER V8 HAS STALLED 4 TIMES SINCE BUYING IT IN APRIL OF 2007. THE FIRST TIME WAS WHEN I WAS BACKING UP IN REVERSE IN MY DRIVEWAY.

MY HUSBAND AND I ARE LEASING A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER SINCE NOV 2005. I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN 3 SEPARATE TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS ON MAY 31 2006, AUGUST 8 2006 AND SEPTEMBER 20 2007. THE ENGINE STALLED DURING LOW SPEED TURNS ON BOTH AUGUST 8 2006 AND SEPTEMBER 20 2007. I HAD JUST LEFT A STOP SIGN ON MAY 31 2006 WHEN MY ENGINE STALLED IN THE INTERSECTION, RESULTING IN A CRASH. I WAS CITED FOR FAILURE TO YIELD ON MAY 31 2006. I WASN'T CITED ON AUGUST 8 2006 OR SEPTEMBER 20 2007, ALTHOUGH THE POLICE REPORT FROM THE SEPTEMBER 20 2007 ACCIDENT DESCRIBES A "FAILURE TO YIELD." I HAVE ALSO HAD ONGOING TIRE PRESSURE ISSUES AS WELL AS INTERMITTENT BRAKE FAILURE ISSUES. PRIOR TO MAY 31 2006 I HAD NEVER BEEN INVOLVED IN A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT NOR HAD I RECEIVED ANY TRAFFIC CITATIONS. I AM 48 YEARS OLD. MY...

TWICE WHILE PULLING INTO PARKING SPACES, ONCE WHILE PULLING OUT OF A DRIVE-THROUGH INTO THE MAIN ROAD, AND ONCE WHILE COMING TO A STOP SIGN, MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER HAS STALLED, LOSING BRAKES AND STEERING. I HAVE TO RESTART THE CAR USING THE KEY. NO INDICATOR LIGHT TELLS ME WHAT HAPPENED OR THAT THERE IS ANYTHING WRONG. THE FIRST TIME IT TOOK INTO THE DEALER, THEY SAID THAT MY COMPUTERIZED FUEL MIX RATIO WAS WAY OFF. THEY SAID IT SHOULD BE AT 0 AND THAT MINE WAS AT 6.SOMETHING. THEY RESET IT TO 1.5, THE LOWEST THEY COULD GET IT TO. THEY FELT THAT THIS WAS THE PROBLEM CAUSING THE STALL. I GOT THE CAR BACK AND IT DID NOT STALL FOR TWO MONTHS BUT THEN STALLED AGAIN. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY COMPUTERIZED INDICATOR TO TELL THEM WHY...

WE PURCHASED A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER IN APRIL 2007. SINCE WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, IT HAS STALLED ON 12 SEPARATE, RANDOM OCCASIONS. I HAVE DOCUMENTED THE STALLS WHICH HAVE OCCURRED WHILE IN REVERSE, DRIVING LESS THAN 10MPH, AND AT HIGHER SPEEDS ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN THE CAR SHUTS DOWN WHILE ON, I HAVE TO PULL OVER (WITH NO LIGHTS OR POWER STEERING) AND PUT THE CAR INTO PARK TO RESTART THE CAR. IT ALWAYS STARTS UP AGAIN WITH NO PROBLEMS. I HAVE ALSO NOTED THAT IT OCCURS IN BOTH COLD AND WARM TEMPERATURES. I HAVE HAD THE CAR IN JEEP'S SERVICE DEPTS ON THREE OCCASIONS. ON THE FIRST TWO VISITS, THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. ON THE THIRD VISIT, THEY ADMITTED THAT OTHERS HAD COMPLAINED OF THE SAME PROBLEMS AND THEY REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH TO SEE IF THAT CORRECTS THE PROBLEM. I HAVE...

THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 20,400.

JEEP COMMANDER LIMITED 2006 STALLED WHILE DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 25MPH. CAR LOST POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. THE CAR EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE ELECTRICAL FAILURE AND JUST DIED. EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE INCLUDE THE CAR RUMBLING TO THE POINT WHERE IT FEELS AS IF WOULD STALL BUT DID NOT. IT FINALLY DID COMPLETELY STALL AS NOTED IN THE OPENING SENTENCES. THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED, STATED THEY CANNOT PIN POINT THE EXACT CAUSE BUT PER CHRYSLER A POSSIBLE SOLUTION WAS TO CLEAN AND RESEAL THE MAIN WIRING HARNESS TO THE POWER DISTRIBUTION CENTER. AFTER THAT THEY HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTING PHONE CALLS TO CHRYSLER TO TROUBLESHOOT THE PROBLEM. WE WERE TOLD CHRYSLER CAN'T GUARANTEE THE PROBLEM WILL BE FOUND. NOW WE ARE LEFT WITH A CAR THAT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AS IT MAY STALL OUT WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT WARNING. *TR

I OWN A JEEP COMMANDER AND IT HAS DIED ON ME FOR NOW REASON NOW MORE THAN 7 TIMES. I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT, SOMETIMES ON THE FREEWAY THE CAR JUST STOPS. I STEP ON THE GAS AND THE CAR DOESN'T MOVE THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF AND THE STEERING WHEEL HARDENS AND DOESN'T STEER. I TOOK IT INTO THE JEEP DEALER WHERE I LEASED IT FROM AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE ARE OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH OTHER COMMANDER OWNERS BUT THEY HAVE NO FIX TO IT. THEY EVEN TOLD ME THAT WHEN THEY FIND WHAT'S WRONG WITH SOMEONE ELSE'S COMMANDER THEY WOULD CALL ME SO I GUESS THEY STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG THIS HAD BEEN HAPPENING NOW A LOT LATELY. I AM GOING TO TAKE IT BACK AGAIN TO THE DEALER SHIP AND SEE WHAT THEY SAY. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT...

WE OWN A JEEP COMMANDER 2006, WE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE SHUTTING OFF. IT HAS HAPPEN WHILE TURNING, WHILE TAKING AN OFF RAMP, ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE REFUSED TO ALLOW ANYONE TO DRIVE THE COMMANDER CONSIDERING I HAVE 3 CHILDREN AND MY WIFE. THE UPSETTING PART IS THAT THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THE COMPUTER SAYS THEIR IS NO PROBLEM. THE LAST INCIDENT WAS ON SEPT. 04 2007. *TR

I TOOK MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER TO MY LOCAL DEALER WHERE I ORIGINALLY PURCHASED IT TO GET THE STALLING PROBLEM FIXED. FIVE DAYS LATER THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT THE PROBLEM WAS NOW SOLVED (AUGUST 24,2007) FINALLY. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THEY PUT IN A NEW PROGRAM THAT WOULD FIX THE JEEP FROM JUST LOSING POWER. AUGUST 25 SATURDAY MORNING AT 8:13 WHILE AT AN INTERSECTION THE JEEP JUST DIED AGAIN. ANOTHER PROBLEM IS THE WINDSHIELD BREAKING EASILY. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM WITH THE BREAKING WINDSHIELD COULD BE RELATED TO THE INPROPER FITTING OF THE WINDSHIELD WHICH RESULTS IN A LOUD NOISE BEING HEARD INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY WON'T FIX THE SEAL PROBLEM BECAUSE MY JEEP HAS TWO CRACKS ON IT. I SAID "IF YOU HAD FIXED THE WINDSHIELD SEAL PROBLEM THE FIRST 3 TIMES I BROUGHT IT IN WE WOULDN'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM'. NO PROBLEMS HAVE...

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATOR LIGHTS PRESENT.

I PURCHASED A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER LAST YEAR. I HAVE HAD THE FOLLOWING ITEMS REPLACED ON MY JEEP FRONT PASSENGER INTERIOR DOOR PANEL. STRANGE NOISE COMING FROM MY CAR THAT SOUNDED LIKE PLAYING CARDS IN BIKE TIRES ENDED WITH REPLACING FRONT AXEL RING AND PINION. CAR KEPT POPPING OUT OF GEAR THE ENTIRE GEAR SHIFT WAS REPLACED. MY PASSENGER WINDOW HAD TO BE FIXED IT KEPT STICKING HALFWAY UP. I HAD A PROBLEM WHERE MY CAR KEPT STALLING. I WAS TOLD THE FIRST TIME THAT NO ERROR APPEARS ON THE COMPUTER AND JEEP KNEW OF NO ISSUE WITH CARS STALLING SO MAYBE IT WAS BAD GAS. IT DIED SEVERAL MORE TIMES AND FINALLY THEY DID REPLACE A PART INSIDE THE IDOL. I ALSO HAD AN ISSUE WHERE MY HEADLIGHTS KEPT TURNING OFF AS I DROVE OR WOULD FLASH ON AND OFF. THEY REPLACED THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH. I HAVE HAD THE...

WHILE DRIVING, VEHICLE HAS A COMPLETE BLACKOUT - IT COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN, ENGINE STOPS RUNNING, EVERYTHING DIES! THIS HAS HAPPENED WHEN DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND WHEN ON A LOCAL ROAD. DEALER CAN NOT FIND PROBLEM. VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT DEALER IN EXCESS OF 30 DAYS WITHOUT RESOLUTION. DEALER LENT US A LOANER - SAME MODEL - AND THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED. WHEN REPORTED TO CHRYSLER CORPORATE, THEY DID NOTHING AND WERE NOT INTERESTED IN HELPING ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. WE FEEL THIS PROBLEM IS SERIOUS ENOUGH TO CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT, DEATH AND OR INJURY. *TR

MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER OCCASIONALLY "HESITATES" WHEN I ACCELERATE. THUS FAR IT HAS NOT CAUSED AN ACCIDENT, BUT CHANCES ARE GOOD THAT IT MIGHT HAPPEN ONE DAY SOON. THIS HESITATION OFTEN HAPPENS WHEN I AM TURNING AT AN INTERSECTION AND I FEAR THAT IT MAY HAPPEN WHEN I AM UNABLE TO EVADE AN ONCOMING CAR. *JB

VEHICLE STALLED IN TRAFFIC - WAS ABLE TO MOVE OUT OF TRAFFIC AND AVOID CRASH - TOOK SUV TO DEALER AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO REPRODUCE OR DETECT PROBLEM (2006 JEEP COMMANDER 4.7 LITER ENGINE). *TR

VEHICLE STARTS TO STALL WHILE MAKING LOW SPEED TURNS. AS SOON AS THE TURN IS COMPLETE, THE VEHICLE REGAINS ACCELERATION. *JB

UPON TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT FROM A STOP OR NEAR STOP THE ENGINE SIMPLY CUT OFF. *TR

ON THREE OCCASIONS, MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING, EACH TIME WHILE TURNING LEFT. ON ONE OCCASION, I LOST COMPLETE CONTROL OF STEERING, BRAKING AND ACCELERATING; THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO AVOID THE OTHER VEHICLES IN MY VICINITY. THE OTHER TWO TIMES I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING., BUT WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED BOTH TIMES DUE TO DRASTIC DECELERATION. I WILL BE TAKING MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE; HOWEVER I?M NOT CONFIDENT THAT THEY'LL FIND ANYTHING. FROM WHAT I'VE READ, IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT IS DIFFICULT TO REPLICATE. I HAVE 3 YOUNG CHILDREN AND NOW FEAR FOR OUR LIVES EACH DAY. I HOPE THAT JEEP WILL RECOGNIZE THIS GROWING PROBLEM AND RECALL THE VEHICLE BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS KILLED. IF I HAD THE MEANS TO BUY A NEW CAR, I WOULD IN A SECOND. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR. *TR

AT APPROX 29K MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER BEGAN ACTING LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL OUT WHILE THE ENGINE IDLED WHETHER IN PARK OR DRIVE. IT ALSO WOULD ACT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL IF I WERE TURNING AND HIT A CURB OR BUMP. EXAMPLES OF WHEN THIS HAPPENED: 1. AT NIGHT, MY ENGINE WAS RUNNING, THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND MY DOOR WAS OPEN; THE INTERIOR LIGHTS BEGAN TO DIM AND THE ENGINE ALMOST CUT OFF. 2. I WAS TURNING RIGHT FROM ONE ROAD TO ANOTHER AND HIT THE CURB AND THE ENGINE ALMOST STALLED. 3. I WAS STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION WAITING TO TURN RIGHT ONTO A ROAD WHEN THE ENGINE ALMOST STALLED. 3.

I BOUGHT THIS JEEP COMMANDER IN MARCH 23, 2006. THE FIRST TIME THAT THE VEHICLE STALLS WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH ON THE FREEWAY WAS FOUR MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT IT. THE POWER WENT OFF AS IF THE IGNITION IS TURNED OFF AND THE STEERING WHEEL HARDENED WHICH MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN TO THE SHOULDER LANE. I IGNORED THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE IT NEVER CAME BACK UNTIL APRIL 5-10, 2007. I BROUGHT THE COMMANDER TO A DEALER IN THE AREA AND HAVE THEM CHECK THE PROBLEM. THEY CAN NOT FIND THE PROBLEM OR DUPLICATE IT TO FIX IT. THEY TOLD ME THERE WERE NO PROBLEM. I'M SCARED OUT OF MY WITS DRIVING THIS JEEP, NOT KNOWING WHEN IT STALLS AGAIN. A FEW DAYS LATER I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR IT STALLS ON ME AGAIN WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH IN THE FREEWAY. AFTER A WEEK OF RESEARCHING AND...

WHEN MAKING HARD TURNS MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER WILL OCCASIONALLY TRY TO STALL. PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL DOWN SLOWLY, THE ENGINE ACTS LIKE IT IS TRYING TO STALL, AND SPEED DOES NOT INCREASE. MY EXAMPLE & DEFINITION OF A HARD TURN: YOU'RE A CAR OR TWO FROM A RED LIGHT. LIGHT TURNS GREEN, YOU ACCELERATE 20 FEET OR SO AND MAKE A 90 DEGREE TURN. HAPPENS ON AVERAGE AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH. DEALER SAYS THEY "ARE AWARE OF PROBLEMS, BUT HAVE NO FIX FROM JEEP". HAVE HEARD THIS FOR A YEAR. *TR

1) 2006 JEEP COMMANDER BEGAN STALLING JUST WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING IT. THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED ABOUT 10 TIMES IN 12 MONTHS. 2) THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY STALLS WHILE DRIVING (USUALLY WHILE IN THE PROCESS OF SLOWING DOWN), OR WHEN COMING TO STOP OR WHEN BEGINNING TO GO. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN PARKING LOTS, INTERSECTIONS, AS WELL AS DRIVING ON BUSY ROADS. LUCKILY THE CARS BEHIND PUT ON THEIR BRAKES BEFORE REAR-ENDING MY CAR. HOWEVER, THE RESULT COULD EASILY BE AN ACCIDENT - WHICH I AM TRYING TO PREVENT. 3) BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TWO TIMES TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED. I WAS TOLD THAT WHILE THEY AND CHRYSLER ARE AWARE, THEY HAVE NOT COME UP WITH A FIX FOR THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING IT. I ALSO CALLED CHRYSLER'S CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER AND WAS TOLD THAT I HAD TO GET A SECOND OPINION BUT THERE...

MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER (4.7 LITER) CONSTANTLY STALLS AND HESITATES AND THE DEALER KEEPS TELLING ME THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG BUT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THE SAME THING AND I WANT TO KNOW WHY THIS HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. ALSO THE THIRD ROW SEAT BELTS SEEM TO HAVE A PROBLEM. *JB

WE PURCHASED A JEEP COMMANDER 4X4 4.7L 10/06. WE LOVE THE CAR, BUT HAVE EXPERIENCED THE STALLING PROBLEM 5 TIMES SO FAR- 3 TIMES WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS SLOWING DOWN TO TURN AND 2 TIMES WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY. I BRING IT TO A DEALER EACH TIME IT HAPPENS AND I AM TOLD THE DIAGNOSTIC RECORDING DEVICE AND IT DOESN'T TELL THEM ANYTHING. THE DEALER SHIP SAYS "THEY CAN REPLICATE THE PROBLEM" THE 5 TIME IT HAPPENED I GOOGLED "JEEP COMMANDER STALLING" AND FOUND THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. I CALLED CHRYSLER TO COMPLAIN AND GOT NO RESPONSE. ONE OF THE POSTS ON CARSPACE.COM SUGGESTED COMPLAINING TO YOU. JB

2006 4.7 V8 JEEP COMMANDER HAS HAD MULTIPLE PROBLEMS, THE MOST SEVERE BEING 3 (OUT OF 7) INOPERABLE SEATBELTS AND SPORADIC STALLING OF THE VEHICLE. THE FIRST 8 - 10 TIMES THE VEHICLE STALLED (WENT DEAD), I WAS AT A STOPPED POSITION ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT HAPPENED AS I WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. I LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WHEN THE VEHICLE DIED. I WAS GOING UP A SLIGHT INCLINE WHICH ASSISTED ME IN STOPPING AND I PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND RESTARTED. I HAVE REFUSED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE SINCE THAT TIME OUT OF SAFETY CONCERNS FOR MY CHILDREN AND FOR OTHERS ON THE ROAD. THE DEALERSHIP HAS ATTEMPTED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM ON 4 OCCASIONS - NOTHING HAS WORKED. THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION REFUSES TO BUY-BACK THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT DUPLICATED THE PROBLEM IN THE SHOP. I HAVE WITNESSES TO THE...
