THE LEFT THIRD ROW SEAT BELT GOT CRUSHED BY THE FAULTY SEAT MECHANISM CAUSING IT TO NOT RELEASE WHEN THE BUTTON WAS PUSHED. THE PASSENGER IN THAT SEAT HAD TO CRAWL OUT FROM UNDER THE BELT IN ORDER TO ESCAPE THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM NOW INCLUDES BOTH 3RD ROW BELTS AND THEY ARE UNUSABLE. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER'S SIDE SEAT BELTS ON THE THIRD ROW HAD FAILED. THE FAILURE RECURRED EIGHT TIMES OVER A PERIOD OF TWO MONTHS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE SEAT BELT RECEIVER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.
THE SEAT BELTS IN MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER MALFUNCTION. THE THIRD ROW SEAT BUCKLES HAVE CRACKED MAKING THEM VERY DIFFICULT TO GET THE BELT INTO THE BUCKLE. AT TIMES THE BELTS WILL EVEN UNLATCH ON THEIR OWN. ONE OF THE BUCKLES HAD SHATTERED AND IS NOW COMPLETELY INOPERABLE. THIS IS ALSO HAPPENING TO THE SECOND ROW SEATS AS WELL AS THE PASSENGER SEAT. HAVING THREE CHILDREN WITH CAR SEATS IN THE CAR, THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. ESPECIALLY SINCE THEY CAN DETACH AT ANY TIME. IT ALSO MAKES ME VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SECURITY OF THE BELTS IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. I HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE REGARDING THE 2006-2007 MODEL YEARS HAVING SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH THE SEAT BELTS. *TR
3RD ROW SEAT BELTS BREAK AND ARE UNUSABLE WHENEVER THE 3RD ROW SEATS ARE FOLDED DOWN. THE PLASTIC PIECE IS PUSHED OVER THE METAL LATCHING PIECE OF THE SEAT BELT. THEY HAVE BEEN FIXED AND ARE NOW BROKEN AGAIN, NOW THE 3RD ROW SEAT CANNOT BE USED FOR PASSENGERS. WATER FROM RAIN IS COMING THROUGH THE DOORS, PUDDLING AT THE BASE OF THE DOOR. THE JEEP WAS IN PARK, WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE IT WOULD NOT GO, ALL OF THE PRD WERE LIT UP WITH BLOCKS AROUND THEM. I TURNED OFF THE JEEP AND I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE. *TR
WE HAVE A 2007 JEEP/COMMANDER SPORT THATS REALLY SOMEWHAT A PROBLE SINCE WE BOUGHT IT (USED) AND ITS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE GETTING IT. IT HAS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH LURCHING FORWARD WHILE IN PARK/DRIVE AND WHILE YOU'RE PRESSING THE BRAKES AT A STOP. IT DID IT AT THE DEALERSHIP AS WELL THEY DID NOTHING ABOUT IT. WE'VE REPLACED INNER PARTS TO THE TRANSMISSION THAT CHRYSLER REFUSED TO COVER UNDER THE WARRANTY. WE'VE HAD SOME TYPE OF MODULE REPLACED A COUPLE OF TIMES BECAUSE THE TRUCK STARTED RUNNING ROUGH( CHRYSLER COVERED THAT) EACH TIME IT HAPPENED. THERES SO MUCH WE CAAN COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS TRUCK AND CHRYSLER DOESNT WNAT TO COVER NON OF THE MAJOR THINGS. THERE'S DEFINITELY /ALWAYS HAS BEEN AN ENGINE PROBLEM. *TR
2007 JEEP COMMANDER SEAT BELTS HAVE BROKEN 5 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 YEARS. PURCHASED VEHICLE USE; SO IT DOES NOT FALL UNDER LEMON LAWS UNFORTUNATELY. *TR
FRONT SEAT BELT RETRACTION IS INSUFFICIENT CAUSING SEAT BELTS TO BE CAUGHT BETWEEN DOOR LOCK MECHANISM WHEN CLOSING DOOR WHEN EXITING VEHICLE DAMAGING SEAT BELT WEBBING. DOOR WILL NOT PROPERLY CLOSE OR LOCK AND VEHICLE MAY BE AT RISK FOR THEFT. *TR
WE HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE FOR SEVERAL MONTH WITH NO RESULTS FROM CHRSYLER CORPORATION OR THE DEALERSHIP. WHEN IT RAINS WATER IS COMING INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE SEAT BELT IS ALWAYS WET, WATER IS COMING IN THROUGH THE PANEL, WATER IS ON THE FLOOR AND IN THE CUP HOLDERS. WE HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND IT HAS BEEN LABEL AS A LEMON. HOWEVER, WE HAVE NOT HAD ANY RESULT FROM CHRYSLER. THE RADIO WOULD NOT TURN OFF, THE WINDOWS WOULD NOT COME DOWN, AND THE DOOR WOULD NOT UNLOCK. THIS WAS THE LAST STRAW. WATER IS CONSTANTLY LEAKING INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE FROM THE ROOF. THE VEHICLE HAS A MILDEW SMELL INSIDE. HOWEVER, THIS DILEMMA ABOUT TO COME TO A CLOSE. BUT HAS TAKEN A TURN FOR THE WORSE. I GREGORY HAILEY WAS INFORMED THAT ON MONDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 2008 THAT I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO TAKE PROCESSION OF A VEHICLE, BECAUSE OF SOME TECHNICALITY BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP, CHRYSLER FINANCIAL AND THE THIRD PARTY INDIVIDUAL THAT IS HANDLING THIS MATTER. I AM DEEPLY UPSET WITH CHRYSLER AS A WHOLE IN THE WAY THEY HAVE HANDLE THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A 2 YEAR PROBLEM BECAUSE IT DATES BACK TO 2006 ON THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE. IF THERE IS A NEED PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION. *TR
