2006 JEEP COMMANDER Engine Problems

TAKATA RECALL THE MOTOR KEEPS DYING WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC THAT TOLD ME THAT THE MOTOR WAS DEFECTIVE AND THE MOTOR HAS TO BE REPLACED. THE ENGINE ONLY HAS LESS THAN 85000 MILES. THE MECHANIC TOLD US TO BUY A JASPER MOTOR BECAUSE JASPER MADE CHANGES TO THE MOTOR BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL MOTOR WAS DEFECTIVE. MOPAR NO LONGER MAKES THE MOTOR AND REFERRED US TO AN AER MOTOR. THE PARTS DEPARTMENT AT CHRYSLER SAID THAT THEY ARE NOT SURE OR NOT IF THE ORIGINAL MOPAR MOTOR HAS MADE THE SAME CHANGES TO THE MOTOR THAT JASPER HAS MADE. JASPER STATES THAT CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE MOTOR AND SPECIFICALLY STATES THAT IMPROVEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE TO SOLVE THE DEFECTIVE ISSUES OF AN ORIGINAL 2006 MOTOR. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE IT HAS HAPPENED TO. MOTORS WERE BEING REPLACED AT 75,000 MILES ARE A COMMON...

I WENT TO START MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER AND IT WOULD TURN OVER, BUT IT WOULD NOT START. I FINALLY WORKED WITH IT A LITTLE BIT AND GOT IT TO START, BUT THEN MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT. I CUT IT OFF AND TRIED IT AGAIN AND EVERYTHING WENT BACK TO NORMAL. HOWEVER, WHEN I GOT GOING, THERE WAS A HORRIBLE GAS SMELL COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THIS STARTING ISSUE HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND EVERY TIME THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT A PUBLIC PLACE AFTER IT HAD BEEN RUNNING FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES.

ALL THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS GO OFF AND ON I.E. A/C, LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD AND RADIO THEN CAUSES THE BREAKS TO STOP WORKING, WHILE DRIVING! THE CAR KEEPS STALLING OUT ESPECIALLY WHILE DRIVING AND IN PARK!!!

I RECEIVED RECALLS P73 AND P41 CALLED SORG DODGE IN GOSHEN AND DOWNEY CHRYSLER JEEP IN NAPPANEE IN SEPT OF 2015 NEEDLESS TO SAY NO ONE WILL DO THE RECALL WORK. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT THE RUN AROUND SINCE THESE CAME OUT. WHAT AM I SUPPOSE TO DO??

SEE DOC I HAD TO REPLACE ENGIINE AND NOW THE COMPANY THAT DID MIGHT RESPONSIBLE FOR IT AS WELL NEED A ATTORNEY OR A BBB FOR HELP

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, IT FAILED TO MOVE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE WAS DESTROYED DUE TO THE VALVE BEING VACUUMED INTO PISTON #4 AND THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,400. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED. UPDATED 08/17/16*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AT THE OWNER'S EXPENSE. UPDATED 10/11/2017 *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT HAD TO MANEUVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND NOTICED ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED TO PARK AND RESTARTED NORMALLY BUT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED ALSO THAT THE SAME FAILURE OCCURRED FOR APPROXIMATELY THREE YEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER AN IGNITION SWITCH MANUFACTURERS RECALL TWO YEARS AGO. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED THIS TIME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 128,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE VEHICLES ENGINE JUST STOPS. POWER STEERING IS GONE IF YOU HAVE TO MANEUVER OUT OF THE WAY IT'S VERY DIFFICULT WHEN DECELERATING IT SEEMS TO DOWN SHIFT VERY HARD LIKE GOING FORM 4TH TO 1ST THE DASH LIGHTS FLASH RANDOMLY WHEN EVER THEY FEEL LIKE IT. I'VE BEEN THRU 3 FAN SPEED CONTROLS FIR THE HEATER THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2010 AND WITHIN A MONTH SOME ELECTRICAL ISSUES WERE INTERMITTENTLY OCCURRING. THE DEALER SAID THE IGNITION HAD TO BE REPLACED AND DID SO. THESE PROBLEMS SEEMED TO CONTINUE THOUGHT NOT OFTEN. THE SYMPTOMS ARE AS FOLLOWS-FIRST THE LIGHTS START FLICKERING AND THEN GO OUT. ALL OF THE DASH COMPONENTS GO OUT INCLUDING THE SPEEDOMETER, FUEL GAGE, RADIO ETC. THE AC FAN ALSO TURNED OFF. THIS CONDITION DID NOT STOP THE VEHICLE FROM RUNNING IT JUST TURNED OFF THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS THERE WAS HOWEVER A PROBLEM WITH STALLING, A SEPARATE ISSUE FROM THE ELECTRICAL ISSUE., A FEW TIMES WHILE IN THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED IT WOULD STALL WHEN STOPPING OR STARTING OFF AGAIN. THIS WAS TRUE IN REVERSE AND FORWARD. I WAS NEVER REALLY WORRIED ABOUT SAFETY UNTIL LAST NIGHT WHEN THE LIGHTS WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING ON A DARK CURVY COUNTRY ROAD. IT WAS ONLY...

WHEN DRIVING MY JEEP COMMANDER IT STALLS. IT HAPPENS WHEN I AM STOPPED AND TRY TO GO OR WHEN I SLOW DOWN THEN TRY AND ACCELERATE. MY LIFE HAS BEEN AT RISK WHEN THIS HAPPENS. ONE OF THE TIMES I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE GOING 65MPH AND IT STALLED. I AM EXTREMELY UPSET ABOUT THIS ESPECIALLY SINCE I HAVE A 2 YEAR OLD SON THAT IS IN THE CAR WITH ME.

SHUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPLACED DEALER CAN,T FIND ANY OTHER PROBLEM I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY 3 TIMES AND A COUPLE TIMES ON A LOCAL STREET

STALLING PROBLEMS WHILE DRIVING. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER A YEAR NOW, I WAS TOLD BY JEEP TO GET P41 RECALL REPAIRED AND POSSIBLY FIX THE PROBLEM. I'VE HAD P41 DONE AND THE SAME PROBLEM KEEPS HAPPENING. EVERYTHING JUST COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN AND I AM UNABLE TO STEER AND HAVE TO RESTART THE ENGINE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME NUMEROUS OF TIMES INCLUDING DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. I'VE CONTACTED JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE, I WAS TOLD I WAS THE ONLY ONE THEY KNOW OF REGARDING THIS ISSUE WHICH IS NOT TRUE. ANOTHER PROBLEM IS DASHBOARD LIGHTS WILL LIGHT UP ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING. ALL LIGHT INDICATORS WILL STAY ON FOR PERIOD OF TIME UNTIL CAR IS RESTARTED AGAIN.

TURNED VEHICLE OFF AT STORE, CAME OUT TO START IT AND WHILE I WAS IN THE STORE A VALVE SEAT FELL OUT OF THE CYLINDER HEAD INTO THE CYLINDER. ENGINE NOW NEEDS AN ENTIRE REBUILD COSTING HALF OF THE BOOK VALUE OF THE VEHICLE. UPON RESEARCH ONLINE, THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE ENGINES SPECIFIC TO 2006-2007. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ IT WAS DUE TO A KNOWN ISSUE FROM A VENDER THAT SUPPLIED THE CYLINDER HEADS.

THIS IS IN RESPONSE TO THE RECALL FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH ON MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. MY VEHICLE HAS HAD THE IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED AT THE DEALERSHIP BUT YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT THE REPLACEMENT DOES NOT CURE THE PROBLEMS THAT IT WAS MEANT TO FIX. THE WORK WAS COMPLETED AT 9:30AM AND THE NEXT TIME I DROVE THAT DAY,IT DID THE SAME EXACT SHUTDOWN AS IT DID BEFORE (WITH ALL LIGHTS ON THE DASH FLASHING).THE STALLING AND SHUTDOWN DOES NOT OCCUR BECAUSE OF HITTING THE KEY WITH YOUR LEG AS I AM ONLY 5'4" AND MY LEG DOESN'T TOUCH THE IGNITION. THE SHUTDOWN OCCURS BECAUSE OF A SHORT SOMEWHERE INSIDE THE IGNITION. IT OCCURS RANDOMLY AND SOMETIMES CAN BE STOPPED BY LIGHTLY TURNING THE KEY TO THE LEFT. I HAVE ALSO FOUND THAT THE SHUTDOWN OCCURS AT EXTREME FREQUENCY WHEN DRIVING IN HEAVY RAIN OR EXTREMELY SLUSHY ROADS, WHICH TELLS...

JEEP HAS TOTAL LOSS OF POWER, CONTROL, AND STEERING WHILE DRIVING. CAR WILL NO START UNLESS IN PARK OR NEUTRAL, LOSSES ALL POWER ELECTRICAL AND STEERING ONCE YOU LET FOOT OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR. I ALMOST RAN INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE WHILE HEADING HOPE AND WAS NEARLY REAR ENDED AT ANOTHER INTERSECTION DUE TO STALLING AND NO CONTROL. ALL OF THIS HAPPENED WITHIN HOURS OF ED VOYLES JEEP REPLACING THE IGNITION SWITCH P41 RECALL. SUPER SUPER DANGEROUS...

1.IT LEAKS. WHENEVER THERE IS RAIN I HAVE 2-3 INCHES OF WATER IN THE FRONT FOOT AREA ON BOTH SIDES. IN ADDITION TO THAT WATER LEAKS THROUGH THE LINING AND FRONT PILLARS OF THE TRUCK LANDING ON THE DASHBOARD. WHAT IS THIS ABOUT? THIS NOT ONLY RESULTS IN MY TIME TO DRAIN OUT THE WATER IT ALSO LEADS TO A GROSS MUSTY SMELL. AFTER A RAIN I CAN HEAR THE WATER SWISHING BACK AND FORTH IN HT ROOF OF MY CAR. THIS IS REDICULOUS. FURTHER THIS ISSUE HAS DONE SOMETHING TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. 2.THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WINDOW/LOCK/MIRROR SWITCHES NO LONGER WORK. SO THAT MEANS THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW HASN'T BEEN DOWN IN FOREVER. THAT MAKES LIFE QUITE DIFFICULT. THE NEXT ELECTRICAL PROBLEM IS THAT FOR NO APPARENT REASONS LIGHTS COME ON.

WE HAD NOT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE YET. WHEN WE DID RECEIVE RECALL P41/NHTSA 14V-438 I WAITED UNTIL I WOULD RECEIVE THE NEXT NOTIFICATION. I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE OR A PHONE CALL SINCE THE INITIAL NOTIFICATION. I HAVE WRITTEN TO THE NHTSA, WRITTEN TO CHRYSLER GROUP LLC AND CALLED THE CHRYSTER GROUP RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER WITH AN ASSIGNED CUSTOMER CARE NUMBER 25941647. I HAVE WRITTEN TO MY CONGRESSMAN.

MY FAMILY (HUSBAND & 2 SMALL CHILDREN) WERE DRIVING HOME ON THE MIAMI TURNPIKE IN CRAZY TRAFFIC. WE HIT A SPOT ON THE ROAD WHERE 2 ROADS MEET AND THE ENGINE COMPLITLEY TURNED OFF. I FREAKED OUT BECAUSE A CAR WAS BEHIND ME AND IT WAS BUSY TRAFFIC. ONCE MY SENSES KICKED IN I STARTED WIGGLING THE KEY AND TURNED IT AND THE CAR STARTED BACK UP. I DID NOT WANT TO DRIVE HOME! MY HUSBAND CALLED JEEP AND THEY WERE CLOSED. I CALLED THE RECALL LINE THIS MORNING AT 8:00 AM AND THE SERVICE WAS HORRIBLE. I WAS TOLD IT IS MY PREROGATIVE TO KEEP DRIVING BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO FIX. I LET THEM KNOW THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. THE SUPERVISOR TOLD ME THERE WAS NO FIX THEY COULD PUT ME ON AN EMAIL LIST FOR WHEN A FIX IS AVAVILABLE!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING? THEN I...

I HAVE ONLY THE ONE KEY ON THE KEY CHAIN- I HAVE MOVED SEAT BACK AS FAR AS IT CAN GO WITH ME BEING ABLE TO STILL TOUCH THE PEDEL. AND MY CAR STILL CUTS OFF WHEN I RIDING DOWN STREET - CUTS OFF FOR LIKE MAYBE 5 TO 8 SEC THEN KICKS BACK IN JOLTS US FORWARD THEN I CAN HIT GAS-WHEN THIS HAPPENS - I CAN NOT HIT GAS RPM DO NOT MOVE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD NUMEROUS TIMES HAVE NO CLUE WHEN MY PART WILL BE IN AND I FEEL MY CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.

P41 RECALL. BEFORE RECALL MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER TURNED OFF ON ITS OWN NUMEROUS TIMES. THIS RESULTED IN ENGINE SHUT DOWN, NO ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ETC. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER SEVERAL TIMES. I GET THE SAME RESPONSE, PART NOT AVAILABLE. WHY? I AM TOLD THE SUPPLIER DOES NOT HAVE PART. WHY NOT?. THIS IS AN OLD RECALL, HOWEVER CHRYSLER IS REPAIRING OR BUYING BACK NEWER MODELS OF VEHICLES DUE TO FAULTY DESIGN. 2006 JEEP COMMANDER RECALL IS JUST AS SERIOUS AS NEWER RECALLS. THE FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH RESULTS IN ENTIRE SHUT DOWN OF JEEP, INCLUDING AIR BAGS. I WAS TOLD TO ADJUST SEAT SO THAT KNEE DOES NOT MAKE CONTACT WITH KEYS IN IGNITION. WHAT? I SUGGEST THAT VEHICLES WITH FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH BE A PART OF THE CHRYSLER BUY BACK OR REPAIR IMMEDIATELY. ALSO, TO AVOID FURTHER SERIOUS ACCIDENTS AND POSSIBLE DEATH RESULTING FORM FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH.

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD MY AUTOMOBILE TURNED OFF AND STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING! THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND IS VERY RIDICULOUS CONSIDERING I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE OVER 1 YEAR AGO CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM. I MAKE EVERY ATTEMPT TO ENSURE THE FUNCTIONS OF MY VEHICLE ARE RUNNING PROPERLY FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. I HAVE YOUNG CHILDREN AND THEY COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED HAD WE BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AT THE TIME OF MY VEHICLE'S FAILURE TO OPERATE CORRECTLY, DUE TO THE MANUFACTURERS IRRESPONSIBILITY OF TAKING CARE OF THIS PROBLEM WITHIN A PROPER TIME FRAME! JEEP AND LOCAL DEALERS HAVE BEEN CONTACTED MULTIPLE TIMES TO TRY TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM, WITH NO HELP FROM THEM IT HAS YET TO BE REPAIRED!

I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE FROM CHRYSLER FOR MY JEEP COMMANDER STATING THAT I MAY EXPERIENCE AN UNINTENDED CHANGE IN IGNITION SWITCH POSITION WHILE DRIVING, WHICH COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF ENGINE POWER, POWER STEERING, AND BRAKING, AND INCREASES MY RISK OF A CRASH. I HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER GROUP RECALL CENTER 1-800-853-1403, OPTION 6 COUNTLESS TIMES, UNFORTUNATELY MANY TIMES HAVING TO HANG UP AFTER WAITING 25 MINUTES TO GET THROUGH. I HAVE ALSO REPEATEDLY CALLED BEYER/JEEP/CHRYSLER 973-644-3200 AND THEY HAVE BEEN VERY SHORT WITH ME AND TELL ME THE SAME THING EVERY TIME I CALL- THEY HAVE NO DATE OF WHEN THE PART WILL BE IN. WHEN I DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY, I AM TERRIFIED OF LOSING CONTROL OF MY CAR. I HAVE SEEN ON THE NEWS PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN IN ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS IGNITION SWITCH AND HEARD THAT CHRYSLER HAS A BUYOUT PROGRAM. I AM INTERESTED...

VEHICLE LOSES IGNITION POWER WHEN DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. DASH CLUSTER WARNING LIGHTS FLASH MULTIPLE TIMES. SPEEDOMETER, TACHOMETER, FUEL, TEMP GAUGES FALL TO ZERO POINT. STEERING BECOMES DIFFICULT/INOPERABLE. VEHICLE WILL SOMETIMES REGAIN POWER. RECALL RELATED TO IGNITION SWITCH HAS BEEN OPEN SINCE SEPTEMBER 3, 2014. MANUFACTURER HAS NOT ISSUED ANY SOLUTION/REMEDY. MANUFACTURER HAS SUGGESTED "REMOVING EXTRA KEYS/KEYCHAINS FROM IGNITION KEY AND AVOID BUMPING THE IGNITION KEY WITH KNEES." THIS IS NOT A REMEDY. THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS. THIS IS DANGEROUS. RECALL IS INCOMPLETE. NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 14V-438 MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER: P41

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND THE ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. ONE OF THE SCARIEST THINGS I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED. LUCKILY TRAFFIC WAS MINIMAL AT THE TIME, BUT IN TRAFFIC, IT COULD HAVE BEEN A HUGE DISASTER.
