2006 JEEP COMMANDER Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, ALL OF THE GAUGES ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO (JIM RIEHL'S FRIENDLY CHRYSLER JEEP, 32899 VAN DYKE, WARREN, MI 48093). THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE A RECALL AND THE CONTROL MODULE AND TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO CONTACTED AND WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,987.

THE DOOR HANDLES OF MY JEEP COMMANDER 2006 HAVE SNAPPED. THR VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. FIRST IT WAS THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE DOOR, THEN BEFORE I COULD SCHEDULE TO GET THAT ONE FIXED, THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HANDLE SNAPPED. I ACCEPTED THAT IT MAY BE COINCIDENCE, UNTIL ONE MONTH LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO MY DIVERS SIDE DOOR! IT CAN'T BE COINCIDENCE AND NOW I HAVE DIFFICULTY GETTING OUT OF MY VEHICLE. IT DEFINITELY POSES A SAFETY ISSUE.

TAKATA RECALL MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION @ 75 MPH ON THE HIGH WAY WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED ITSELF INTO 3RD GEAR AND WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT

ON HIGHWAY DRIVING IN WINTER WEATHER CONDITIONS WITH 4X4, ENGINE WOULD NOT AUTOMATICALLY SHIFT AND ENGINE ROD WENT THROUGH THE OIL PAN. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION TRYING TO SLOW DOWN THE ENGINE BY BRAKING. VEHICLE WAS GOING STRAIGHT.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED WITHOUT WARNING. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 193,721.

MY FAVORITE, JEEP COMMANDER 2006 3.7 V6. 103600 MILEAGE. THE CAR SHUTS DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FROM LAST NOVEMBER. I FEEL LIKE I'M IN A DEATH TRAP BECAUSE WHEN CARS GOING 60 - 70 MPH ON I-495 AND CAR LOST POWER. ALL I CAN REALLY DO IS PRAY THAT MY FAMILY DON'T GET KILLED. THE DEALER FIXED FLIPPING KEY PROBLEM AT THE SAME YEAR OF SUMMER BECAUSE OF THE RECALL. THIS IS REALLY NOT RELATED I BELIEVE. IT HAPPENED 6 TIMES MOSTLY WINTER SEASON BETWEEN NOVEMBER THROUGH JANUARY EASTERN TIME LAST YEAR, AND THIS STALLING PROBLEM CAME BACK LAST SUNDAY DEC 10TH, 2017 WHILE DRIVING ON NORTHERN STATE PARKWAY TO MICRO CENTER IN NY. 3 TIMES ALREADY THIS SEASON. THE BEST WAY ONLY I FOUND FOR OUR SAFETY. SLOWLY MOVE OVER ON THE SHOULDER FINDING PLACE TO STOP WHILE SPEEDING DOWN, AND HAVE ONE CHANCE OF STOP TO BREAK VEHICLE WITHOUT POWER. HOWEVER, LUCKILY IT STARTS AGAIN AND RUNS NORMAL. THE DEALER, DAIMLER CHRYSLER CONSUMER CENTER. THEY NEVER CARE ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND KEEP CHARGING FOR THE SERVICE WITHOUT A SOLUTION. MY RESEARCH IS ON GOING TO FIND ECM, PCMA, AND FCM PROBLEMS. I AM SCARED FOR MY FAMILIES SAFETY. THE CAR CUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. ANY IDEAS, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP US.

EVERY SINGLE DOOR HANDLE IN THE JEEP BROKE UNDER NORMAL USE SOMEWHAT ABLE TO OPEN FROM INSIDE, BUT A VERY BIG SAFTY HAZARDS WHEN MY KIDS OR PASSENGERS CANNOT OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. KINDA SCARY WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT. SLIGHTLY AFTER REVIEVING MY USED JEEP ONE DOOR HANDLE AFTER THE OTHER BREAKS UPON BUMPING INTO HANDLE.

JEEP KEEPS STALLING WHEN BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY AND WHILE AT IDLE OR AT STOP SIGN ON CITY STREETS.

I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I WAS IN TOWN TRAVELING ABOUT 30-35 MPH, THE CAR I WAS FOLLOWING SWITCHED LANES AND I HIT A CAR THAT WAS COMPLETELY STOPPED. THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT HAD BEEN GOING ON AND OFF FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS. I DIDN'T THINK TOO MUCH OF IT BECAUSE IT IS NOT THE ONLY WARNING LIGHT THAT SOMETIMES DOES THAT. I FIGURED THE ELECTRONICS PROBABLY DIDN;T LIKE ALL THE WATER THAT POURS INTO THE FRAME AND ONTO THE DRIVERS FLOOR.
