2006 JEEP COMMANDER V8 4.7. I HAVE TWO YOUNG CHILDREN AND THIS IS SERIOUSLY A SAFETY HAZARD THAT JEEP/CHRYSLER WILL NOT ADDRESS OR RECALL. ALMOST ALL 2006 JEEP COMMANDERS HAVE THIS ISSUE AND IT'S VERY DANGEROUS AND A PASSENGER COULD BECOME EASILY TRAPPED INSIDE THE VEHICLE DURING A FIRE/ACCIDENT DUE TO THE DOORS NOT BEING ABLE TO BE OPENED BECAUSE OF THE BROKEN DOOR HANDLES. THE HANDLES ARE NOT A SEPARATE PIECE THAT YOU CAN JUST REPLACE. THE WHOLE ENTIRE DOOR PANEL NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND IT'S VERY COSTLY APPROXIMATELY $500 PER DOOR OR MORE. AND ALL 4 HANDLES ARE BROKEN THIS IS A HASSARD AND OVER 500.00 PER HANDLE TO BE FIXED PROFESSIONAL AND FOR SAFETY IS RIDILOUS ..SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS AND I HAVE SEEN THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE..PAYING GOOD MONEY FOR A VEHICLE AND THIS IS NOT CONSIDERED AN ISSUE THIS IS SO NOT RIGHT TO ANY OF US THAT OWN THIS VEHICHLE"06 JEEP COMMANDER AND ALL 4 HANDLES ARE BROKEN THIS IS A HASSARD AND OVER 500.00 PER HANDLE TO BE FIXED PROFESSIONAL AND FOR SAFETY IS RIDILOUS ..SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS AND I HAVE SEEN THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE..PAID $36,000 FOR THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW AND STILL ORIGINAL OWNER BUT UNABLE TO DRIVE AT THE MOMENT DUE TO DOORS AND SAFETY ISSUE. THIS IS NOT CONSIDERED AN ISSUE BY JEEP CHRYSLER THIS IS SO NOT RIGHT TO ANY OF US THAT OWN THIS VEHICHLE". EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!! THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR SOME TIME NOW WITH MY VEHICLE JUST GOTTEN WORSE OVER TIME AND HAVE CONTACTED JEEP ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS TO HAVE FIXED THEY WILL NOT COVER THE COSTS. WE SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS REPAIR IT IS DEFECTIVE MATERIALS/PRODUCT AND THEY NEED TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE REPAIRS!!!!! OR TAKE THE CAR BACK AND GIVE US A NEW ONE!!!!

INTERMITTENT INABILITY TO START VEHICLE. MY JEEP COMMANDER 2006 HAS A PROBLEM THAT IS BEING DISCUSSED ALL OVER THE INTERNET IN CHAT ROOMS AND BLOGS BUT IS NOT BEING ACKNOWLEDGED BY JEEP. THE ISSUE OCCURRED WHEN JEEP WAS IN PARKED POSITION. I AM A DISABLED MAN AND I WAS LEFT STRANDED IN VERY COLD WEATHER FOR TWO HOURS WITH A CAR THAT WOULD NOT START. IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE STARTER, OR THE SOLENOID. THIS SEEMS TO BE A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH JEEPS AND A SAFETY ISSUE TO THE OWNER ESPECIALLY IF THE OWNER IS STRANDED AND HAS NO HEAT AND UNABLE TO WALK TO GET HELP. I AM REQUESTING NHTSA TO LOOK INTO THIS BECAUSE JEEP IS STONEWALLING THE PUBLIC AND THIS IS A SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT THE PUBLIC SHOULD BE AWARE OF BY WAY OF A RECALL. PEOPLE RELY UPON THEIR AUTOMOBILES AND EXPECT THEM TO OPERATE ACCORDINGLY AND NOT TO HAVE RANDOM AND INTERMITTENT ENGINE NON STARTS FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND WITH NO EXPLANATION FROM JEEP AND NO SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM GOING ON 9 YEARS NOW. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS WIDESPREAD PROBLEM KNOWN TO BE AN ISSUE WITH JEEP COMMANDER.

TRANSMISSION STOP SHIFTING PROPERLY AND SHUTTERING IN MOTION..TOOK IT TO TRANSMISSION SHOP, THEY SAID TRANSMISSION NEEDED REPLACED. GOT NEW TRANSMISSION, STILL HAD SAME PROBLEM. TOOK IT BACK TO SHOP, THEY DID A SECOND REPAIR AND CHARGED ME $2959.50. THEY DIDNT DESCRIBED WHAT THEY DID THE SECOND TIME. I HAD NO PROBLEMS SINCE..SO FAR.

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD @ 40 MPH & MY HORN STARTED SOUNDING NON STOP & KEPT DRAINING MY BATTERY. TURNS OUT IT IS A FAULTY CLOCK SPRING, & MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 51K. THE PART TO FIX IS RETAILED OVER $800 & YOU CANNOT GET AHOLD OF ONE BECAUSE THEY ARE ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER. WAS TOLD CHRYSLER WILL NOT DO A RECALL BECAUSE THIS VEHICLE IS OVER 10 YEARS OLD, BUT IT ONLY HAS 51K & THIS HAS BEEN RECALLED ON OTHER JEEP/CHRYSLER MODELS. SINCE IT IS HOOKED TO MY AIRBAG, THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE, BUT CHRYSLER DOES NOT SEE IT THAT WAY. WILL NEVER BY ANOTHER JEEP BECAUSE OF THIS.

THE DOOR HANDLES HAVE COMPLETELY DISENTEGRATED AN THE WINDOWS NO LONGER OPERATE. THE SEAT BELTS WORK INTERMITTENTLY AND THE DOOR LOCKS UNLOCK AN LOCK AT RANDOM. THE ENGINE STARTS AN STOPS ON IT'S OWN. THIS VEHICLE WAS MY DREAM VEHICLE BUT NOW I FEEL TOTALLY ENDANGERED BY THE LACK OF CARE AND DESIGN BY JEEP. I FEEL IT IS A TICKING TIME BOMB READY TO CAUSE DANGER AT SOME POINT TO ME OR MY FAMILY

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

THE VEHICLE DOOR HANDLES DO NOT FUNCTION ON ANY OF THE FOUR DOORS. THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME DEFECT AND THE ONLY WAY TO EXIT THE VEHICLE IS TO LET THE WINDOW DOWN IF YOU ARE ABLE TO AND UNLOCK THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SMOKING, FIRE, ETC., AND PASSENGERS ARE UNABLE TO GET OUT OF VEHICLE. THIS IS A DEFECT WITH THIS VEHICLE..
