Vehicle stalls. approximately 2 years ago vehicle was doing the same thing. replaced the map sensor. now it is doing it again. jeep has a recall but it is only the 2006 commander built in certain plants. *js
My vehicle stalls out, without warning. the first time it happened, i was attempting to accelerate from a stopped position. also, have experience the identical problem while turning and or on a highway. *tr
Stalled while driving. *tr
All interior door handles are cracked and 2 of them aren't operable and myself and kids can't get out of the jeep with getting help from an outside person to open the door. *tr
I have a 06 jeep commander that has been completely shutting down while i'm driving. the rpms go up over 3 and 4 and the gears shifts from high to low. and also my engine light comes on and stays on. *tt
The interior door handles on 2006-2007 jeep commanders fail when the plastic holding the handle to the door panel breaks, this could lead to not being able to exit the vehicle from the inside in an emergency. *tt
Purchased 2006 jeep commander on 8/20/11 and i do not drive it on a daily. however, after driving for less than an hour on 8/27/11 the dash lit up with the message "transmission over temp", after googling i noticed the transmission message is a common problem in jeep vehicles, mainly commanders. i also read that after several "transmission over temp" messages the vehicle will stall, a couple of people reported it doing so in the middle of heavy traffic flow. also, after stalling the car will not restart until it's left sitting for hours. some have let their jeep sit for 4 days before getting it to restart and others for weeks/months. about a month later it rained for the 1st time since i've had the jeep and i noticed the handrail, located top left above passenger side, was dripping onto the dashboard and the floor was wet as well. googled the water incident and found hundreds of complaints regarding wet front interior after rain (in jeep commanders, various years). some complained of mold growth and stated there seems to be no solution to the problems; mechanics are stumped at both wet interiors after rain and "transmission over temp" message. both incidents have made me a bit nervous since i have a 10 year old riding with me majority of the time. i've contacted the jeep corporation and jeep asked me to contact nhtsa. not sure what steps to take at this point. *tr
Drivers side interior door handle has broken. i went to exit my 2006 jeep commander and the plastic behind the door handle broke away from the door panel and i couldn't open the door. i had to exit the vehicle from the passenger side. i am thankful that it wasn't an emergency situation like a fire! this should be a recall! very dangerous!
There is a major design flaw with the inner door handles on my 2006 jeep commander. i know jeep changed the design in 2008 due to this problem. the housing and hinge are made entirely of plastic and are very brittle. after a few years of use the plastic starts to crack then break away and the inner handle will not function. this poor design in itself should be a $10 fix but unfortunately in order to replace the handle you are forced to replace the entire inner door panel. why is my family potentially being put in harms way for a part that could be easily improved to prevent failure?
I purchased the 2006 commander in june 2010. the first 6 weeks i had the vehicle i loved it. the first incident i had with the vehicle was the service park assist warning came on and stayed on for two days, then went off on its own prior to getting an appointment to have it checked. the next incident happened when i was idling in traffic at a stoplight. every indicator light on the dash came on and the vehicle started to stall but did not completely stall out. since that episode i have had issues with the driver side front window and passenger side rear window not functioning properly (at times won't roll up or down from either control). more recently i have had increasing episodes (two to three times per month) of the dash lighting up, headlights dimming and the vehicle losing power (so far always while parked or shifting from park to drive), as well as the service park assist warning and window issues. after hearing of a coworker with a 2007 commander having some of the same issues i began searching the internet and have found numerous complaints of the same issues as mine. i am afraid to drive this vehicle with my children inside in the event that it would stall out on the highway and i would not be able to control it. i spoke with the dealer that sold me the vehicle yesterday and they have agreed to look at it free of charge this morning since there is no warranty on it now, but i still am not sure i want to keep this vehicle any longer. chrysler needs to recall these vehicles and fix this issue. i used to be a die hard jeep fan...but no longer! i am surprised that i have not found any reports of death or serious injury as a result of these electrical issues with this particular model.
2006 jeep commander 4.7 liter having issues with engine stalling when stopped and also when starting to apply pressure to gas from stop in the 5-10 mph range. does not matter if the vehicle has just been started or completely warmed up. nothing i am doin is causing this too short to hit keys with knee. have to turn vehicle completely off and start back up. have had vehicle for about 6 months since june 2010 now and have had the incident happen at least 20 times. have read on numerous forums of this incident happening and no fix for this found yet please get the ball rolling to get a fix before someone gets killed. *tr
Interior door handles break easily, and come apart. this is a safety concern when trying to leave vehicle in an emergency- car fire, accident, or if vehicle falls into a body of water. in this vehicle, 3 of the 4 interior handles have easily broken from the door panels. they are built weaker than a child's toy car. updated 01/20/11 *bf
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!!!!
Apparently there is/was a defect in either the design or production of the door handle assembly in the 2006 jeep commanders. the plastic housing which contains the door opening mechanism becomes too brittle and cracks rendering the opening mechanism inoperable. on my commander all but one door is affected. at the moment, only two out of the four doors work, the front-side passenger and the driver-side rear. if this vehicle was in an accident in which there was a need to exit quickly (fire or water), the lives of my family would be in extreme jeopardy. i posted a video on youtube, and have heard from many other with the same issue. chrysler jeep produced approximately 80,000 of these vehicles in 2006. i truly believe there are thousands of there jeep commanders on the road with this same issue. in fact the condition is so prevalent; one company is producing an after-market repair kit. please see my video at the following link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffq0oki7zjy. *tr
After completing a one mile trip without incident, i got back in my 2006 3.7 liter v6 4x4 jeep commander and started it up. i then put it into reverse and began to back up when my power-steering failed. i put it back in park and turned off the engine and then restarted the engine. the power-steering was functioning again, so i put it in reverse and began to back up. after about five feet the power-steering failed again, then the anti-lock brake system failed and it was incredibly hard to brake. the abs light also came on. i then backed into a parking spot and turned off the engine and then restarted it. the power-steering was still failing and the abs light still lit up. the engine then died after about 30 seconds. i then attempted to restart the vehicle and it wouldn't start and the red alarm light came on. the battery is good. *tr
While opening the right rear passenger door of my 2006 jeep commander the inside door handle broke, this prevented the passenger from exiting the vehicle. i contacted the jeep dealer and they informed me that they did not have any issues relating to the door handle. i removed the door panel and made the necessary repairs. two months later the left rear handle broke and then the right front passenger handle broke. i made repairs to both of those handles as well. last month the right rear handle has broken again, i have did a temporary repair on the handle. my fears are that if i was to get in some type of accident where the passenger(s) would have to exit the vehicle in a hurry that the handles will fail and the passenger(s) will not be able to exit the vehicle in a timely manner and could result in the passenger(s) being trapped inside the vehicle. there should be some type of safety recall.
My brakes pulsate when i pump them coming down hills. the dealership continues to tell me there is nothing wrong with my brakes. it is really bad when i am coming down a mountain and i am scared that they will fail on me. it has happened every time i've traveled to see my daughter in college in the mountains. i've tried going very slow and pumping as to not pick up speed. i am very concerned for my safety. *tr
Jeep commander will completely turn off at random times when driving, most seem to happen when jeep is idling or moving slow. has not happened at time were an accident has happened, but has turned of in middle of intersections several times. *tr
This has happened on more then one occasion. the 1st couple of times the check engine light was one, it took 2 times there and they replaced the modular. after that that was taken care of but then while driving down the street all the instrument lights on the panel came on and all gauges went to zero. the second time this happened, i was driving to work going about 35 miles per hour, again all lights on instrument panel came on and the jeep stalled causing my wheels to lock and my steering to not work, i had to skid off the side of the road, thank goodness no one was behind me. i started my jeep a couple minutes later and the check engine light and all gauges were still at zero and frightened, i was able to drive home through the neighborhood. i took it to the dealership which was there a day because they knew i was furious at this time because i could have caused an accident causing injury to myself and other drivers, i then got it back and was driving home again thank goodness not on the freeway and it happened again. i took it back to the dealer who told me there is nothing that can be done because nothing is being detected on the chip so they can not fix it, they advised me to just drive it and keep a log of the pattern to help them determine the cause. i called the service manager and told him that i have a huge problem with them asking me to drive this for a pattern and causing a potentionally fatal accident to get a pattern which they already know had done this before, the service manger is having the service writer drive my jeep and has been so for almost a week now. i can't believe that this issue is not being taken serious, i could have caused a very very serious accident on the freeway and more so when it starts to snow. i do not feel safe in this vehicle, not only for myself buy other's on the road. this is something that needs to be taken care of now before someone loses there life. *tr
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 jeep commander. the contact stated that the engine was running and the vehicle was parked. while buckled in the passenger seat, her two year old grandson placed the vehicle in reverse. the contact jumped in the vehicle and applied the brake, however the vehicle slightly crashed into the garage door. the rear bumper was damaged. the driver side back up system did not work. the vehicle has not been inspected by the dealer. the vin and failure speed were unknown. the current and failure mileages were 18,500.
I recently purchased a new 2006 jeep commander limited. the vehicle currently has less than 6000 miles. over the past few months the jeep has unexpectedly stalled at least 7 times. one particular stall happened while pulling into a busy street and nearly resulted in a collision. i want to return the vehicle but the dealership will not take it back. i purchased the jeep for my wife to drive and she takes our 2 children with her in the vehicle. i am very concerned about them being injured or more even more serious consequences as a result of the jeep stalling. my goal is to receive a full refund or to have the vehicle replaced with same make, model, etc with an engine that is mechanically sound and does not stall. what are my options?
1) 2006 jeep commander began stalling just weeks after purchasing it. the vehicle has stalled about 10 times in 12 months. 2) the vehicle completely stalls while driving (usually while in the process of slowing down), or when coming to stop or when beginning to go. this has happened in parking lots, intersections, as well as driving on busy roads. luckily the cars behind put on their brakes before rear-ending my car. however, the result could easily be an accident - which i am trying to prevent. 3) brought the vehicle two times to the dealership where it was purchased. i was told that while they and chrysler are aware, they have not come up with a fix for the problem because they do not know what is causing it. i also called chrysler's customer service number and was told that i had to get a second opinion but there was nothing else they could do because the problem has not been diagnosed. *jb
Vehicle completely stalls and shuts down while driving...no matter what speed. it happened to me at 45 mph as well as 25 mph. when this happens there also is no steering.....almost got into a serious car accident due to this repeated problem. have taken to get serviced and they can not find anything wrong. *jb
Purchased 2006 commander in may 2006. the day i drove it off the lot i heard wind noise. it has since been in for repairs 4 times, including removing the dash which now has left me with a squeaky dashboard. have contacted the district manager, who wants one more chance, called corp chrysler hq who opened a file & then closed it without verifying my satisfaction, have reopened a file with chrysler, tried to speak with a service manager at the 800 customer service number and was refused. *jb
All 4 of my door handles on the inside are broken. the one in the back driver side is completely unuseable. i worry about the safety of anyone who gets in my car. the handles don't work. anyone i've ever spoken to that owns one of these jeeps has the same issues. they are junk!!!! it's asking for a specific date at the bottom. they all started breaking randomly as soon as i got it.
