2006 Jeep Commander 4X2 Problems

MY CAR LEAKS DURING RAIN FROM THE SUNROOF TO THE BLUE HOSE DRAIN AND FLOODED MY CAR. WHICH MESSED UP THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. I'M HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR SAYING IT'S OVER HEATING BUT IT'S NOT IT'S THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TELLING THE COMPUTER IN CAR THAT IT'S HOW WHEN ITS NOT AND NOW MY TRANSMISSION IS MESSED UP WE THINK. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY AT JEEP DEALER IN CERRITOS, CA FOR 2 DAYS NOW AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHAT WRONG.

THE SUNROOF DRAIN DESIGN WAS FAULTY. DURING RAINING WEATHER, THE SUNROOF DRAINS CANNOT HANDLE THE COLLECTED RAIN AND THE RAIN WILL OVERFLOW AND GO INTO THE CAR. THE RAIN THAT OVERFLOWS FALLS INTO THE FRONT PANEL AND HAS CAUSED MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL FAILURES AND SHORTAGES. MOST IMPORTANTLY THE WATER HAS DAMAGED THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND HEADLIGHT CONTROLS WHICH CAUSES THEM TO SHUT OFF WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE.

THE A/C INLET FITTING IS DEFECTIVE CAUSING THE COOLANT TO LEAK OUT AND THE ENGINE TO OVERHEAT, THE PCM IS DEFECTIVE AND SAYS THE TIRE PRESSURE IS LOW WHEN IT ISNT

DEFECTIVE VALVE SEAT FELL INTO CYLINDER. MANY COMPLAINTS ON LINE INCLUDING MINE. FULLY MAINTAINED. RAN FINE AND PARKED. WOULDN'T RE-START. HAD IT CHECKED AND THE CYLINDER WAS SHATTERED. GLAD I WASN'T DRIVING ON THE ROADWAY AS THE ENGINE WOULD OF STOPPED AND SO WOULD STEERING AND BRAKES.JEEP WAS IN STORAGE SINCE 2015.

MOST IMPORTANTLY THE WATER HAS DAMAGED THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND HEADLIGHT CONTROLS WHICH CAUSES THEM TO SHUT OFF WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE.

FIRST ANNOYANCE WAS THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. IT FAILED TO OPEN THE DOOR AT AROUND 45,000 MILES. THEN THE REAR PASSENGER INSIDE DOOR HANDLE JUST CRUMBLED OUT OF NOWHERE AROUND 47,000 MILES. THEN AROUND 50,000 MILES THE BRAKES 'FELT DIFFERENT' WHEN BRAKING AND IT FELT TO HARD TO PRESS DOWN ON THE PEDAL TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE BRAKE PEDAL FELT HARD AS A ROCK THEN THE ABS WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND AFTER A DIAGNOSIS I WAS TOLD THAT IT HAD TO BE REPLACED. WHENEVER WE WENT THROUGH A PUDDLE OF WATER ON A TURN THE JEEPS STEERING WOULD LOCK UP AND JUST KEPT MOVING FORWARD & NOT TURNING.

ENGINE STALLS AT SPEEDS ABOVE 60 MPH. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAYS AND HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE LAST WEEK.

DRIVING UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS THE VEHICLE ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF AND STALLS. THIS HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY, MOSTLY AT SPEEDS OF ABOUT 45-60 MPH. THE TWO RECALLS AVAILABLE ON THE VEHICLE AS IT RELATES TO THIS ISSUE (TCM/PCM ) ( IGNITION SWITCH) HAVE BEEN RECENTLY FIXED BY THE DEARLERSHIP, HOWEVER THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO MULFUNCTION IN THE SAME MANNER AND APPEARS TO BE GETTING WORSE. CONTACTING CHRYSLER, THEY ARE ABRASIVE AND UNCOOPERATIVE. A LITTLE RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL OWNER COMPLAINTS ON THIS VERY ISSUE DATING BACK TO 2006-2007-2008. THERE APPEARS TO BE AN "ACTIVE" INVESTIGATION ONGOING BY THE NHTSA-OFFICE OF DEFECTS INVESTIGATIONS. WHAT IS THE STATUS OF THIS INVESTIGATION-10 YEARS LATER??? THERE APPEARS TO BE NO INTEREST ON THE PART OF THE MANAUFACTURER TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE WITHOUT THE VEHICLE OWNER INCURRING MASSIVE LOSES IN ENDLESS DIAGNOSTIC AND REPAIR EXPENSES.

WHEN CRUISE IS SET CAR EXCELS IN SPEED *TT *TR

MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER DOOR HANDLES ARE BREAKING ONE AT A TIME AND MAKES THE DOORS INOPERATIVE SO IN AN ACCIDENT, YOU CANNOT EXIT THE VEHICLE. CHRYSLER REFUSES TO RECALL THE VEHICLES OVER THIS ISSUE AND WILL PROBABLY WAIT UNTIL A FATALITY OCCURS.WHY DOES THE CONSUMER HAVE TO PAY TWICE AND NOT ONLY THAT,BUT OPERATE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE.THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE OUT THERE WITH THE SAME DANGEROUS PROBLEM,THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD BE MADE TO RECALL AND REPAIR THESE VEHICLES AND NOT PUT THE COST ON THE CONSUMER WHO PURCHASED THESE VEHICLES IN GOOD FAITH. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOOR HANDLES WERE CRACKED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DOORS WERE ABLE TO BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE BUT THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR COULD NOT BE OPENED FROM THE INTERIOR. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT TO CALL THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED BUT PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER OUT A PARKING LOT AND IT LOST COMPLETE POWER. IT STARTED STALLING AND I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY I HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THE PCM UPDATED AND THAT AFFECTED THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE. I DID SOME RESEARCH AFTER SPEAKING WITH THEM AND IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM ON THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE AND EVEN A RECALL (#08V20300). *TR

I LEASED MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER 4X2 4.7 V8 IN 2006. THE VEHICLE BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS THE SAME DAY I BROUGHT IT HOME. THE VEHICLE STALLS FREQUENTLY AND THE ELECTRIC SYSTEM DISABLES. THE STALLING OCCURS WITHOUT WARNING. THE STALLING ALSO OCCURS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND WHILE THE VEHICLE IS NOT MOVING. WHEN THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF, THE VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY DISABLED. THE BRAKES WONT WORK AND I LOSE TOTAL CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE. I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT IN 2007 DUE TO THIS ISSUE, JEEP/CHRYSLER HAS DENIED THE REPAIR EVEN THOUGH I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER. THE ODOMETER IS ALSO INCORRECT, IT CHANGES NUMBERS FREQUENTLY. CHRYSLER INFORMED ME THAT THE VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE AND DENIED ANY FURTHER REPAIRS CONCERNING THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE IS STILL THE SAME, IT STALLS VERY OFTEN. PLEASE HELP ME. *TR

THE FRONT MODULE IS CORRUPT. IT CAUSING VARIOUS ELECTRICAL ISSUE. LIGHTS, BLINKERS, RADIO, SPEAKERS, DASHBOARD DISPLAYS, HEATING/COOLING, ARE ALL INOPERABLE. JEEP IS CLAIMING THAT THIS IS NOT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. THIS PART IS NOT MECHANICAL. I CAN UNDERSTAND WEAR AND TEAR BUT THIS ISSUE WOULD BE A FAULTY PART NOT AN ISSUE OF MAINTENANCE OR THE LACK OF. WITHOUT A RECALL, I AM SUBJECT TO EXPENSE THAT COULD END UP COSTING ME $1000 TO $3000. I FIND THIS TO BE SITUATION WHERE JEEP IS TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THEIR CLIENTELE. I HAVE SEARCHED MULTIPLE FORUMS AND FOUND THIS TO BE A RE-OCCURRING ISSUE IN MANY OF JEEPS MODELS. THIS AN INJUSTICE AND UNETHICAL ACT UPON THE CONSUMER. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN ESCALATING SINCE 2012. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER 4X2. WATER DRAINS IN FROM THE SUNROOF, DOWN INTO THE DASHBOARD, AND THEN ONTO THE FRONT AND REAR CARPET. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE CAN HEAR THE WATER WHILE DRIVING. THE COILS UNDERNEATH BOTH FRONT SEATS HAVE RUSTED DUE TO THE WATER ENTERING THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT DOES NOT KNOW WHAT KIND OF DAMAGE THE WATER HAS CAUSED TO THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. HE STATED THAT THERE ARE TWO DRAINS ON EACH SIDE OF THE SUNROOF, AND THEY ARE NOT DRAINING THE WATER PROPERLY. THE FIRST TIME THE DRIVER'S SIDE DRAIN FAILED, THE DEALER STATED THAT A BUG WAS STUCK IN THE DRAIN. THE SECOND TIME, THE DEALER STATED THAT DIRTY RAIN WATER WAS IN THE PASSENGER DRAIN. IN ADDITION, THE AIR CONDITIONER FAN HAS BEGUN TO FLUTTER. THIS FAILURE HAS OCCURRED TWICE. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE SUNROOF DURING THE FIRST VISIT, AND THE CONTACT MADE THE REPAIR THE SECOND TIME. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 7,500 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER 4X2. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 06V037000 (SEAT BELTS), 08V203000 (POWER TRAIN), AND 14V438000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE PARTS NEEDED TO DO THE REPAIRS WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE GETTING MY BOTH OF MY FRONT SEAT BELTS TO LATCH. I HAVE TO HOLD THE RED BUTTON DOWN FOR IT TO ATTACH. THEN ON APRIL 3, 2015, EVEN THOUGH MY FRONT SEAT PASSENGER LATCHED THE SEAT BELT, THE SENSOR NEVER QUIT CHIMING. THE DEALERSHIP, MACK GRUBBS MOTORS, IN COLUMBIA, MS HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

WE PURCHASED OUR 2006 JEEP COMMANDER IN NOVEMBER, 2008. THE FIRST PROBLEM WE EXPERIENCED WAS THE ROUGH VIBRATION OF THE FRONT END. WE TOOK IT TO OUR MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THAT HE WAS UNABLE TO SEE ANY THING PHYSICALLY WRONG. THIS PROBLEM HAS INCREASED OVER THE YEARS. THE SECOND PROBLEM WE NOTICED, ALL OF THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES BROKE WHICH CREATES SOME DIFFICULTY IN EXITING THE VEHICLE. WE MAINTAINED REGULAR MAINTENANCE ON THIS VEHICLE AND THE ONLY OTHER PROBLEM WE EXPERIENCED UNTIL NOW, WE PURCHASED TWO NEW BATTERIES AND THE AIR CONDITION BLOWER WAS REPLACED. IN AUGUST, 2014, I STARTED THE TRUCK, PRECEDED OUT OF THE PARKING LOT AND ALL THE DASH LIGHTS CAME ON AFTER A MINUTE OR SO THE LIGHTS WENT OFF BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON FOR 1 DAY. IT HAS DONE THIS SEVERAL TIMES AND THEN THE LIGHTS STARTED COMING ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT ANY SPEED IT APPEARED AS IF THE TRUCK WAS SHUTTING DOWN. IF I WAS ABLE TO I WOULD PULL OVER AND RESTART THE TRUCK THIS PRACTICE DID NOT STOP THE LIGHTS FROM COMING ON AND OFF. I WAS SITTING AT THE RED LIGHT AND PROCEEDED TO MOVE THE VEHICLE WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGE AFTER APPROXIMATELY 5 SECONDS OF ACCELERATION THE TRUCK SHUT COMPLETELY OFF THE DRIVER BEHIND ME COULDN'T HAVE NONE I WAS STOPPING BECAUSE I NEVER HIT THE BRAKES. I PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND RESTARTED IT. YESTERDAY WHILE DRIVING ALL THE LIGHTS CAME ON AND FLASHED OFF AND ON FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE FOR APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES TURNED THE KEY OFF AND THE KEY WAS UNUSUALLY HOT. THIS MORNING THE TRUCK WOULD NOT START EVERYTHING INSIDE THE VEHICLE CAME ON AND I COULD HEAR A CLICKING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE I WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND TRIED IT AGAIN, AFTER 2 TRIES THE TRUCK STARTED. IF THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT WHOM DO I CONTACT TO HELP ME RESOLVE THIS MATTER. I AM AFRAID THIS TRUCK IN IT'S CURRENT CONDITION MAY BE A HAZARD TO MYSELF AND OTHERS. *TR

THE VEHICLE HAS SHUT DOWN ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THIS WEEK WHILE BOTH IDLING AND WHEN IN TRANSIT. IT CAUSED A LOSS OF STEERING CAPABILITY AND OPERATION OF THE OF THE VEHICLE CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE. CALLS HAVE BEEN MADE TO BOTH THE DEALERSHIP AND THE MANUFACTURER WITHOUT SATISFACTORY RESOLUTION. THE DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGED MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

MY CAR CUT OUT AT 65 MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I LOST MY POWER BRAKES AND STEERING. ADDITIONALLY I LOST MY AIRBAGS. THIS IS THE 12TH TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED. I CALLED JEEP AND ASKED FOR A LOANER OR RENTAL TILL THIS IS RESOLVED BECAUSE THERE IS NO FIX AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT. I HAVE NOTHING ON MY KEY RING THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THIS PROBLEM AND MY KNEE IS 8 INCHES FROM THE IGNITION SO I KNOW I DID NOT BUMP IT WITH MY KNEE. JEEP WILL NOT WORK WITH ME AND STATE IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE AND I SHOULD BE CAREFUL AND TRY NOT TO HIT ANY BUMPS. *TR

INTERMITTENTLY BUT FREQUENTLY THE ABS AND OTHER DASHBOARD LIGHTS COME ON AND THE CAR DRAGS AND STOPS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. ITS VERY DANGEROUS. SOMETIMES I CANNOT GET THE CAR TO GO WITHOUT SITTING AND WAITING FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME. IT HAS HAPPENED SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT BUT NO ONE CAN DIAGNOSE IT AND I DON'T KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. *TR

WE OWN A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER THAT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FROM THE FIRST MONTH WE OWNED IT. THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN MY WIFE AND 3 CHILDREN WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AT 65 MPH. THE VEHICLE HAS CONSISTENTLY EXPERIENCED THE SAME CHALLENGE AT LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS. IN ADDITION, WE HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR ISSUES AS OTHER OWNERS SUCH AS; TRANSMISSION NOISES AND SLIPPAGE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURES, EXCESSIVE BREAK NOISE, BREAK WEAR, EXCESSIVE CRACKING IN WINDSHIELD, SEATBELT FAILURE, WINDOW LEAKS, STEREO REPLACEMENT AND MORE! IN THE LAST 9 MONTHS THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR MORE THAN 6 TIMES FOR SIMILAR ISSUES. THE DEALER, AS WITH OTHER CUSTOMERS HAS CLAIMED THEY "CAN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM..." AND SENT US ON OUR WAY. I HAVE NOW EMBARKED UPON HAVING THE VEHICLE BOUGHT BACK BY THE MANUFACTURER AND WILL ALSO BEGIN A FORMAL LEGAL CASE TO ENSURE OTHER OWNERS RECEIVE RETRIBUTION. THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS AND THE MANUFACTURER IS AWARE OF THESE PROBLEMS, YOU ARE NOT CRAZY AND THE DEALERS ARE COVERING IT UP! *TR
