2006 JEEP COMMANDER 4X2 Complaints

HE FIRST INSTANCE WAS WHEN HAD STOPPED AT MY HOUSE, GONE IN AND GRABBED SOME PAPERWORK, GOT BACK IN THE SUV AND THEN WHEN PUTTING THE SUV INTO REVERSE IT JUST TURNED OFF. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE I WAS ACTUALLY PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. ON MY WAY BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 35 MPH ON A STRAIGHT ROAD WHEN THE SUV SHUT OFF. THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES, BUT I NOTICED THE STEREO SEEMED TO BE ON , JUST THE DISPLAY. I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL WHILE GOING ABOUT 15 MPH AND STARTED IT, AND THEN PUT IT BACK IN GEAR. I WENT TO THE DEALER AGAIN, I WAS ON MY WAY TO FINALIZE THE PURCHASE, AND RELATED THIS TO THEM. THEY STATED THEY WEREN'T SURE WHY IT HAPPENED BUT WOULD LOOK INTO IT. I WAS DROPPING IT OFF ON 5/22/07. *AK

WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING THE ENGINE AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TURNED OFF BY ITSELF. I WASVERY AFFRAID BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS USED BY MY WIFE. I REPORTED THIS TO TRIANGLE JEEP DEALERS MANTAINANCE SERVICE, BUT THEY DID NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. THE WARRANTY WAS CLOSE TO EXPIRE AND THE CRITICAL PROBLEM PERSISTED. *AK

THE WINDSHIELD OF MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER LIMITED SEEMS TO BE VERY VULNERABLE TO CRACKS. I HAVE HAD 2 ROCKS HIT ME AND HAVE GOTTEN THEM REPAIRED WITHIN THE FIRST 3 MONTHS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE. IT IS A VERY EXPENSIVE WINDSHIELD TO MAINTAIN; IS THIS A DESIGN FLAW?

MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER'S IGNITION KEY IS SO SENSITIVE TO TOUCH THAT IF IT IS BUMPED WHILE DRIVING, THE KEY TURNS THE ENGINE OFF CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SHUT DOWN AND MAKING STEERING ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE. I HAVE ALMOST CRASHED COMING OF A HIGHWAY AND IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. I AM 6' TALL AND WHEN I MOVE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS THE KNEE HITS THE KEY EVER SO SLIGHTLY AND THE KEY SWITCHES OFF. *JB
