There are 2 issues I am reporting. 1.) The passenger front seat belt tensioner does not allow you to buckle the seat belt. 2.) The vehicle will go into limp mode and shift into 3 gear. I disconnect the battery and wait about 15 seconds and the problem is magically resolved.

WHILE RAINING WATER DRAINS INTO VEHICLE FROM SUNROOF CAUSING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. LIGHTS CONSTANTLY FLICKERING, DASHBOARD LIGHTS CONSTANTLY TURNING ON AND OFF, INTERIOR WATER DAMAGE, RUSTING INSIDE COMPONENTS. THIS INCIDENT HAPPENS CONSTANTLY FORCING ME TO KEEP HEADLIGHTS ON HIGH BEAM AT ALL TIMES WHILE THE CAR IS STATIONARY AS WELL AS IN MOTION ON STREETS AS WELL AS HIGHWAYS. THIS PROBLEM CAUSES UNNECESSARY PROBLEMS BEING THAT WHILE THE CAR IS GOING THROUGH THIS THE TURNING SIGNALS, WIPER BLADES, AIR CONDITIONING TURN OFF AND ON. EVEN THOUGH MY CAR WAS SERVICED UNDER WARRANTY FOR REAR SEATBELTS THE BELTS ARE CONSTANTLY JAMMING KEEPING MY CHILDREN CAPTIVE AND AT SOME POINTS IT WILL NOT SUCCESSFULLY LATCH.

VEHICLE WAS SOLD WITH NO LIGHTS IN BACK, INCLUDING BREAK AND REVERSE LIGHTS, BROKEN SEAT BELTS IN BACK SEATS AND ONE BACK SEAT THAT DOES NOT FOLD DOWN WHICH BLOCKS REAR VIEW, AND FINALLY WITH BALD TIRES THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY. THE LIGHTS WERE SUPPOSEDLY FIXED BY THE DEALERSHIP'S REPAIR SHOP BUT AFTER ONLY A FEW WEEKS THE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING. THE SEAT BELTS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE REPLACED AND WE WERE TOLD THAT REPLACEMENTS WERE ORDERED BUT THE DEALERSHIP NEVER CALLED BACK TO CONFIRM THAT THEY ARRIVED AND READY FOR INSTALLATION, THEY STILL HAVE NOT BEEN REPLACED. WE WERE TOLD THAT THE TIRES AND SEAT FOLDING DOWN WERE NOT SAFETY ISSUES AND HAD TO REPLACE THE TIRES OURSELVES. THE SEAT STILL DOES NOT FOLD DOWN AND THE LIGHTS ON THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE STILL DON'T STAY ON.

THE SEAT BELTS IN MY THIRD ROW, WHICH I USE MAYBE 10% OF THE TIME ARE BROKEN. THEY BROKE WAY TOO EARLY IN MY CARS LIFE. I NEVER KNEW THAT I COULD REPORT IT UNTIL MY MECHANIC SAID TO. I CALLED JEEP TO LET THEM KNOW THAT ITS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I WOULD LIKE THEM REPLACED, AND THEY DECLINED TO DO SO. I HAVE HAD MANY JEEP NEW AND VERY OLD AND THE SEAT BELTS WERE NEVER AN ISSUE, WHICH MAKES ME THINK THESE SEAT BELTS WERE DEFECTIVE OR MAYBE THE WAY THE 3RD ROW FOLDS DOWN IS THE CAUSE.

REAR SEATBELT LATCHES ARE BREAKING, AND SUSCEPTIBLE TO BREAKAGE. THE ORANGE RELEASE BUTTON ON THE SEATBELTS BREAK EASILY. MY CONCERN IS THAT IT WILL HAPPEN WHEN THERE'S AN EMERGENCY AND THE OCCUPANT MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE DEFECTIVE MATERIAL IN THE LATCH RELEASE, POSSIBLY TRAPPING THE OCCUPANT. I SUSPECT THAT THE MATERIAL USED FOR THESE PLASTIC RELEASE LATCHES WAS INCORRECTLY SPECIFIED, AND BECAME BRITTLE OVER TIME.

I PURCHASED MY JEEP COMMANDER ON FEBRUARY 12, 2014. A WEEK AFTER I PURCHASED IT MY CHECK LIGHT CAME ON SO I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. IT WAS FOR MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THE PEOPLE IN THE GARAGE STATED IT WAS JUST A SENSOR AND NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT I TOLD THEM TO FIX IT WHILE IT WAS STILL COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY. THEY WOULDN'T. THE NEXT DAY ALL OF THE DOME LIGHTS AND DASHBOARD LIGHTS IN MY TRUCK STARTED FLICKERING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. (STILL DOES IT TO THIS DAY). SOON AFTER MY BRAKES WENT OUT ON ME WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH MY KIDS SO I HAD TO GET THE CALIPERS AND EVERYTHING CHANGED. NEXT IT WAS THE WINDOWS THEY ALL STOPPED WORKING. THE END OF JANUARY 2015, WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AGAIN WITH MY CHILDREN, ALL OF THE LUG NUTS AND BOLTS FELL OFF OF MY TIRE REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE. I ENDED UP CALLING THE TOW TRUCK AND TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT. $2500 AND TWO WEEKS LATER I GET MY TRUCK BACK, HAVE IT FOR A DAY & IT STARTS JERKING ON MY WAY TO WORK. THEY FIXED EVERYTHING THAT HAD TO DO WITH MY TIRES AND SUSPENSION. THEY ALSO INFORM ME I NEED MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER CHANGED AFTER THEY TOLD ME NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT IT'S JUST THE SENSOR ACTING FUNNY. (IT COULD'VE BEEN FIXED WHEN I ASKED THEM TO DO IT WHILE IT WAS COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY) NOW MY LIGHTS START FLASHING MY WHEEL SPEED SENSORS AREN'T WORKING AND IS MESSING WITH MY ABS SYSTEM AND TRACTION. THEY JUST TELL ME TO SHUT THE TRACTION OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING IT SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. I END UP TAKING IT BACK IN THE SHOP. A MONTH LATER I'M DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND MY SERPENTINE BELT BUSTS AND I LOSE CONTROL OF MY TRUCK. ANOTHER $500 DOLLAR JOB. PRESENT DAY, MY TRUCK IS BACK IN THE SHOP FOR A ROUTINE BRAKES AND ROTORS FIX AND THEY CALL AND SAY I NEED MY OUTER TIRODS FIXED AND REAR AXLE SOMETHING. I'VE PUT MORE MONEY INTO THIS TRUCK THAN I'VE PAID FOR IT IN THE PAST YEAR.
