Body problems of the 2006 Jeep Commander - part 1

Takata recall as I was driving my car on the four lane my car started to have white rubber smelling smoke fill the car and all my dash lights went crazy, my radio kicked off and my speakers and my turn signals quit working. I started to panic and stopped on the side of the rode. I had my kids in the car so I first removed my children then tried to find the problem. At this point my car was completely full of smoke n it like as if it was burning down. My wiring in the cars passenger side rear floor board had caught on fire ! the fire burnt through my floor and my floor mats. I almost choked to death on the smoke and had to take the battery out of the car to kill the power and dump water on the floor.

As I was driving on the central florida greeneway, my sunroof and bracket blew from the car. Estimated speed - 65 mph. The electric sunroof was in the closed position. Suddenly, the glass sunroof blew from the car and half the bracket came unassembled.

The back passenger interior door handle broke. I feel is it unreasonable to have a working handle to exit a vehicle. Now since my son is older, I am concerned with his ability to exit out safely in an emergency. The poor design creates a safety issue for owners and their passengers.

The interior door handle casing cracked and completely crumbled. It is nearly impossible to open the door from the inside because of this. A quick google search shows that it is a prevalent problem and not an issue caused by normal wear. This can be a serious hazard if the driver needs to exit the vehicle quickly and cannot access another door or roll down the window to open it from the outside.

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.

The sunroof drain design was faulty. During raining weather, the sunroof drains cannot handle the collected rain and the rain will overflow and go into the car. The rain that overflows falls into the front panel and has caused multiple electrical failures and shortages. Most importantly the water has damaged the instrument panel and headlight controls which causes them to shut off while operating the vehicle.

All door handles are broken and have become in operable from the inside of the vehicle. Also when starting the Jeep it will run for a few seconds and then shut off. After starting you can shift to drive and it puts you in drive 3 them it will quit. When u start and it shift into drive the Jeep will remain running.

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.

Approximately 40 miles from home, on a day with the temperature well below zero degrees fahrenheit, we rolled our front windows down to talk to our neighbors, who were shopping at the same mall as us. After visiting with them, our windows would not roll back up. Our family had to drive in freezing weather back home, on a Sunday, with the windows rolled down. On the way, by rapidly depressing the windows lock button, while my wife repeatedly pulled up on the front passenger window switch, we got her window to roll up. We never could get the drivers front window to roll up. I replaced the master switch assembly on the drivers door panel, but that did not help. The dealership told me that I probably have multiple broken wires in the wire bundle in the door hinge area. Jeep has not, to my knowledge, addressed this problem at all. The internet forums are chock-full of hundreds and hundreds of consumers that have had, and are having this same problem.

My 2006 Jeep Commander along with many other owners are experiencing cracking of the interior door panel which houses the interior door handles. This results in the interior door handle breaking off, making it impossible to leave the vehicle from the inside. This is a safety concern and Jeep is totally not doing the right thing. Their solution is to replace the entire door panel at a cost of around $750 per door. The plastic used around the door handle is very thin and obviously a poor design. This should be recalled before someone gets killed.

The interior door handle housings on all 4 doors are broken. As a result, it is very difficult to open the door handles from the inside. In order to exit the vehicle, one must use the exterior handles. Jeep indicated replacement of the entire interior door panel is required to fix at a cost of $800 per panel. This is a safety issue preventing quick egress from the vehicle in the event of an accident and is a common, known issue with these vehicles. When the driver door handle housing broke, the sharp plastic cut my hand, causing it to bleed. Subsequently, I have cut my hand again more than once on the sharp, broken plastic door handle housing.
