2006 JEEP COMMANDER Complaints

AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE CENTRAL FLORIDA GREENEWAY, MY SUNROOF AND BRACKET BLEW FROM THE CAR. ESTIMATED SPEED - 65 MPH. THE ELECTRIC SUNROOF WAS IN THE CLOSED POSITION. SUDDENLY, THE GLASS SUNROOF BLEW FROM THE CAR AND HALF THE BRACKET CAME UNASSEMBLED.

AT 100K WITH NO WARNING, ENGINE RUNS HOT, I WAIT FOR 30 MIN TO COOL DOWN.. DRIVE AGAIN AND IT RUNS HOT.. MECHANIC SAYS HEAD GASKET BLOWN..SMDH.. ALONG WITH THAT IT WAS RAINING AND THE SUNROOF STARTS LEAKING. 8 MONTHS PRIOR I HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. WHAT A JEEP AND I AM STILL PAYING ON IT.!! THE JEEP PEOPLE NEEDS TO RECALL THESE AND AT LEAST REIMBURSE PEOPLE, NOW IM STUCK WITH BUYING A 5000 ENGINE ON A SET INCOME...BASICALLY COULDVE BOUGHT A BRAND NEW CAR WITH THE FUNDS I PUT OUT SO FAR..

VEHICLE STALLS RANDOMLY, LOSING POWER BRAKES AND STEERING. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. UNFORTUNATELY, THERE NEEDS TO BE SOLID A RESOLUTION AS PEOPLE CAN'T SPEND TONS OF MONEY ON WHAT THE ISSUE "MIGHT" BE AND THEN GET BACK ON THE ROAD IN THIS DEATH TRAP TO ONLY HAVE IT STALL AGAIN.

THE BACK PASSENGER INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE BROKE. I FEEL IS IT UNREASONABLE TO HAVE A WORKING HANDLE TO EXIT A VEHICLE. NOW SINCE MY SON IS OLDER, I AM CONCERNED WITH HIS ABILITY TO EXIT OUT SAFELY IN AN EMERGENCY. THE POOR DESIGN CREATES A SAFETY ISSUE FOR OWNERS AND THEIR PASSENGERS.

I JUST PURCHASED THIS 2006 JEEP COMMANDER AND NOTICED AFTER PURCHASE THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. READ LATER THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. DID MANUFACTURER EVER PUT OUT A RECALL FOR THIS? IS THIS A SENSOR ISSUE?

VALVE SEALS WENT IN ENGINE CAUSING CATASTROPHIC FAIL. SHUT OFF VEHICLE, WENT TO START AGAIN, STARTED BUT STARTED TO MAKE A HORRIBLE NOISE, WOULD NOT STAY STARTED.

THE VEHICLE HAS POWER FAILURE WHILE DRIVING AND WHILE STATIONARY WITH ENGINE RUNNING! THE DASHBOARD INSTRUMENT PANEL, GAUGES, LIGHTS, HVAC, RADIO, ETC. SHUTS OFF BUT THE VEHICLE STILL RUNS, AND IT CONTINUES TO TURN OFF AND ON OVER AND OVER AGAIN. ALSO, IT OCCURS WHETHER ON A SMOOTH SURFACE IN MOTION OR WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD, AND IT OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SITTING STILL WITH ENGINE RUNNING. IT MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE THE VEHICLE IS ABOUT TO SHUT OFF. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY VEHICLE, REGARDLESS OF THE LOCATION. THERE IS A SAFETY RECALL FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH, AND I FEEL THIS PROBLEM MAY BE RELATED TO THAT ISSUE.

FIRST THE SEAT BELT WOULDN'T CLICK INTO PLACE WITHOUT PRESSING DOWN THE RED BUTTON. NOW EVEN IF YOU DO THAT THE SEAT BELT LIGHT/DINGS WILL BE ON THROUGHOUT THE RIDE. I SEE ON THE INTERNET MANY OTHERS HAVING THIS ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT NOTICED A STRONG ODOR OF EXHAUST FUMES INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND INDICATED THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLT WAS STRUCTURALLY UNSOUND. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

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.
