We have classified the 4 complaints from 2006 Jeep Commander about FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE into the following categories.
On christmas i backed the jeep out of the driveway so i could drive my truck. bumped the curb slightly while parking and vehicle died. started right back up so i didn't think much of it. today my wife took the kids to school in it and ran fine. parked for two hours and went to start and it will crank but not turn over. fuel gauge doesn't read correctly. at full it says half a tank and while you are driving it may drop to below empty with a full tank. i have been reading all the reports about the 2006 commander and a lot of people seem to be having this starting problem. i haul my family around in it because we can't all fit in my truck but i don't feel safe in it because you never know when it's gonna cut out and die. my kids range from 1 week to 11 and i don't really want them in it. i'm thinking it a fuel pump or wiring issue. both issues occurred in my driveway or right in front of my house. *tr

2006 jeep commander hesitates when making a turn. the problem is intermittent, but happens at least once a day. it has been taken in for service for this problem. a couple of times but the dealers say they can not replicate the problem. this is a serious issue and i have come close to being hit while pulling out on the highway numerous times. *tr
I was exiting i65 s to i85 north at 40 mph as i came out of the ramp the engine stalled. the ignition switch and all of the lights and gauges continued to read accurately. i coasted to the shoulder and restarted the vehicle. it immediately started ,and ran normally. this could have been a bad situation if there had been heavy traffic at the time. the jeep was due for its first service trip, so it went to the dealer on may 9, 2007. the incident was reported to the dealer ,who reported that the vehicle stalled as it went into the shop. the technician stated that he felt he had struck the key while moving the vehicle and this caused the stalling. this could be true. however, i am only 5' 3" tall and even if i had the seat all of the way forward with the front of the seat adjusted all of the way up, it was virtually impossible for the knee to hit the key. these two incidents were the only ones that i have experienced, but i felt there was a systemic problem. *ak
Vehicle stalling. *ak
When making hard turns my 2006 jeep commander will occasionally try to stall. pressing the gas pedal down slowly, the engine acts like it is trying to stall, and speed does not increase. my example & definition of a hard turn: you're a car or two from a red light. light turns green, you accelerate 20 feet or so and make a 90 degree turn. happens on average at least once a month. dealer says they "are aware of problems, but have no fix from jeep". have heard this for a year. *tr
