2006 JEEP COMMANDER 4X2 Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER 4X2. THE CONTACT STATED THAT BOTH FRONT INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES, WHICH WERE PLASTIC, WERE CRACKED. IN ADDITION, THE REAR PASSENGER INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE FRACTURED. THE DEFECTIVE DOOR HANDLES PREVENTED THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS FROM EXITING THROUGH THE DOORS. THE AUTOMATED WINDOW WAS RELEASED IN AN OPEN POSITION AND THE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES WERE ENGAGED IN ORDER TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. THE AUTHORIZED DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

I OWN A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER, AND HAVE 3 DOORS IN WHICH THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE BEZEL HAS BROKEN. BY RESEARCHING PRICE OF REPAIR, I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS ACTUALLY A VERY COMMON ISSUE. I WAS TOLD BY MY DEALERSHIP THAT IT WAS MY OWN FAULT FOR BEING TOO ROUGH ON MY DOOR HANDLES, HOWEVER I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLE I'VE OWNED. I HAVE 3 DAUGHTERS RANGING IN AGE FROM 18 MONTHS TO 14 YEARS, AND I DOUBT THEY SHOULD BE STRONG ENOUGH TO BREAK DOOR HANDLES. I'M REPORTING THIS AS I FEEL THIS IS A DEFECT FROM THE MANUFACTURER, IN LIGHT OF THE MULTITUDE OF EXAMPLES I'M FINDING ON THE INTERNET, AND IN TALKING TO OTHER COMMANDER OWNERS. THIS IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE, SINCE IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY, MY DAUGHTERS MAY NOT BE ABLE TO OPEN THE DOORS.

MY 2006 JEEP COMANNDER IS EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS LISTED BY MANY OWNERS, DELAYED TRANMISSION ENGAGEMENT, WARNING LIGHTS FLASHING ON & OFF, WON'T START. IT HAS STALLED ONCE. I HAVE CHECKED MY VIN # FOR RECALLS AND IT'S NOT ON ANY LIST. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE AND HAVE NO OTHER TRANPORTATION. THE DEALER I CONTACTED HAS NOT HEARD ABOUT THE FLASHING LIGHT PROBLEM AND HAS NOT GOT BACK TO ME AFTER GIVING HIM MY VIN #. I AM ALSO EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS, ALTHOUGH NOT LIFE THREATENING, THEY SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING TO A $40,000 VEHICLE; WHISTLING WINDOWS, THE SIDE OF MY DRIVERS SEAT BROKE OFF AND IT CONTAINS THE ELECTRICAL CORDS FOR MY SEAT, THE WINDOWS DON'T OPREATE PROPERLY. I DID NOT THINK ANY OF THESE THINGS TO BE OF CONSEQUENSE UNTIL I STARTED RESEARCHING MY INTERIOR LIGHT PROBLEM. *TR

2006 JEEP COMMANDER - VEHICLE STALLING BEFORE ACCELERATION, POWER-STEERING BECAME DIFFICULT: BETWEEN 24,000 - 30,000 MILES, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO STALL AND THE MOTOR HAS COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE INCIDENT. NO ACTIONS WERE TAKEN AT THE DEALERSHIP. WE WERE TOLD IF IT DOES NOT HAPPEN WHILE AT THE DEALER, THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. THE VEHICLE JUST REACHED 30,000 MILES AND THE POWER STEERING IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY MORE DIFFICULT. A SCRUBBING AND LOUD NOISE CAN BE HEARD WHILE TURNING THE WHEEL TO THE RIGHT. THE VEHICLE IS SCHEDULED TO BE LOOKED AT BY THE SAME DEALERSHIP. *TR
