2006 JEEP COMMANDER Suspension Problems

Power Train. The (TCM/PCM/TECM) Chrysler is recalling 24, 461 Jeep Commander vehicles equipped with 407 V8 engines. Th powertrain control module (PCM) was programmed with software that may allow the engine to stall under certain operating conditions. This could cause a crash without warning. ( My Jeep turns on, but it is not able to be moved, it is stalled indefinitely). I asked the dealer @Rockwall Dodge, Rockwall TX to check the PCM/TCM/TECM. They refused. Said they were not able to check this situation. Didn't have that equipment. Electrical System. This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. The air bag lights comes on randomly. The engine will turn off, which will then depower various key safety systems. I am unable to unlock the ignition on several occasions. Suspension. Rock Krawler recalled 44 performance suspension systems sold as aftermarket equipment for use on the vehicle listed above....

I had gotten my sepertine belt replaced and it started showing message transmission over heating it had not aloud my jeep to start and it made the starter go out to the alternator is now bad I have had it stall before I got the message and it about caused an accident several times until message.

ALL THE LIGHTS ON MY DASH PANEL WENT ON & I LOST POWER OF THE VEHICLE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IT CAME BACK ON THEN OFF & ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER HAS BROKEN INTO A FEW PIECES. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THIS HAPPENS OFTEN TO THESE VEHICLES & BELIEVES THERE IS A RECALL ON THEM.

ENGINE IDLES WHEN STOPPED AND SOMETIMES THE JEEP LUNGES FORWARD. LIGHTS ON DASH COME ON INTERMITTENTLY. TIRES KEEP NEEDING REPLACED EVEN WHEN GETTING THE JEEP CONTINUALLY BALANCED AND ROTATED. THEY WEAR DOWN ON THE OUTER RIM OF FRONT TIRES ONLY. HAVE TO KEEP GETTING NEW BATTERIES BECAUSE VEHICLE KEEPS DYING. I HAVE HAD MORE PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE SINCE I BOUGHT IT NEW IN 2006 THAN I HAVE HAD WITH A CAR IN A LIFETIME. INTERIOR POWER STATIONS DON'T WORK, PASSENGER WINDOW WILL NOT CLOSE OR OPEN AT TIMES. SOME TIMES THE HORN WILL JUST START GOING OFF. I KEEP RECEIVING RECALL NOTICES ALMOST YEARLY. JEEP NEEDS TO RECALL THIS VEHICLE. IT HAS BEEN A LEMON FROM THE SECOND I BROUGHT IT HOME. *TR

MY WIFE REPORTED A STRANGE THUMPING SOUND FROM UNDER THE CAR. SHE SAID IT BEGAN AFTER DROPPING CHILDREN AT SCHOOL AND GOING OVER A SPEED BUMP AT THE SCHOOL. SOMETHING SHE DOES EVERY DAY. UPON INSPECTION I FOUND THE DRIVER SIDE EMERGENCY BRAKE CABLE WAS INTERFERING WITH THE REAR UNIVERSAL JOINT ON THE DRIVESHAFT. THE CABLE WAS KINKED AND BEING CUT BY THE ROTATION OF THE DRIVESHAFT. THERE WAS ALSO ABRASION OF THE GAS TANK SPLASH GUARD. I HAVE NO DOUBT IF THIS HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE CABLE WOULD BE CUT IN HALF AND POSSIBLY WRAP AROUND THE DRIVESHAFT CAUSING THE DRIVER SIDE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO APPLY AND LOCK-UP THE WHEEL RESULTING IN A ROLLOVER. THE GAS TANK COULD ALSO HAVE BEEN PUNCTURED IF THE CABLE WAS PULLED BY THE DRIVESHAFT. SOMEHOW THE NORMAL ACTION OF THE VEHICLES SUSPENSION WAS ABLE TO PLACE THIS CABLE IN CONTACT WITH THE...

1ST PROBLEM WAS MY INTERIOR LIGHTS FLASHING ON AND OFF. I COULD NOT GET IT TO DO IT WHILE AT THE DEALERS. 2008 I THOUGHT MY TRANSMISSION WAS GOING BAD. THE DEALER SAID THAT MY TRANSMISSION HAD A LEAK AND CHARGED ME TO REPLACE SOME PART. THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THEN THEY SAID I NEEDED TO SERVICE THE TRANSMISSION. I AM SURPRISED THAT DEALER NEVER MENTION ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE JEEP COMMANDER ( I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST MY CAR) AS I HAVE CALLED SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT THE CAR SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL, AND WONDERING IF IT WAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM COMES AND GOES. I JUST PAID MY CAR OFF, AND NOW WHEN I RIDE ON THE EXPRESS WAY AND GO PAST 60 THE ENITRE CAR SHAKES BAD. IF I HIT A BUMP I CAN HEAR SOMETHING LIKE A CRACK NOISE. SOMETIMES WHEN I MAKE A SHARP TURN I...
