general problems of the 2006 Jeep Commander - part 2

The contact owns a 2006 Jeep Commander. While driving 40 mph, all of the gauges illuminated and the vehicle lost acceleration. The contact was able to drive the vehicle to (jim riehl's friendly Chrysler Jeep, 32899 van dyke, warren, mi 48093). The dealer stated that the vehicle did not have a recall and the control module and transmission valve body needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was also contacted and was unable to provide assistance. The failure mileage was 48,987.

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.

The a/c inlet fitting is defective causing the coolant to leak out and the engine to overheat, the pcm is defective and says the tire pressure is low when it isnt.

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.

While driving the service rear park assist message came on and the check engine light came on. When this happens all the lights around the transmission letters on the dashboard start to flash and the transmission starts to slip. This happens when you accelerate. Have had vehicle at the dealership for 3 weeks now and have had no solution to the problem . Am very concerned about transmission slipping when pulling into traffic.

The gear indicator has the prnd and it indicates what gear you are in. When you try to drive the car it indicates that it is in all gears. When it does this it stumbles really badly. You have to put it back to drive to drive normal. It can happen about 3 times a day. Right after it happens the check engine light comes on for about 3 days. I have searched online and at least 50 other people with a 2006/2007 Jeep Commander have the same problem. Some people say it happens to them (all gears light up) while they are driving. This causes their vehicle to not accelerate or "jerk" back and forth. They have to pull over and start the car again and the check engine lights up. It doesn't matter if I warm it up for over 10 minutes it will still do it when I put it on reverse or drive. I am worried it will get worse and happen like the other people online when I'm driving or on the freeway. Online many people write about this problem with their 2006/2007 Jeep Commander. Many don't know what it is.

My vehicle stalls and cuts off when stopped at stop signs and traffic lights. The engine also shakes and acts as if it wants to die while driving. I took my vehicle in for recalls after I left the service center it once again cut off at the first stop light I came to.

2006 Jeep Commander 4x4 dies at low speed. Almost caused accident on freeway. Had the ignition recall taken care of. Hoping that it was the problem. It was not. . . Now trying to sell vehicle and don't want to cuz I would have to have someone else get hurt. In that death trap the Jeep now sits in my side yard my wife refuses to drive it. I'm looking for any ideas on what to do? please help.

The ac/heater control until has a short when you push the breaks it goes off. Plus it has affected my nav/radio system. I am afraid that my vwhicle is going to catch on fire. You can hit a bump while driving and it will work. The nav/radio system will turn on when it wants but as soon as you put the vehicle in reverse or tap the breaks it goes off. Sometimes it smells like burnt plastic on the control panel where the ac/heater is located. I have spoke with the local Jeep dealership near me. They will not look at it without wanting to charge me an outrageous prices. This is not my fault and the local dealership is acting like I made a mistake and tore up my vehicle. I can get no answer out of them.

Takata recall my Jeep Commander has been nothing but trouble since I purchased it I have had all the recalls done by my local Jeep dealership and still have to constantly replace wheel speed (abs) sensors and reprogram the computer. At low speeds off aproxamitly 15-20 mph I loose power like the vehicle is trying to starve itself from fuel affecting accelerate so if you pull out into a intersection it practically dies and the. When you go to brake the pedal gets hard and the vehicle keeps rolling I have to replace all 4 wheel sensor (abs) and get computer reprogrammed for it to stop costing hundreds of dollars to do over the time that I have owned the vehicle I have learned to perform such task on my own . But I am sick and tired of every summer having to buy 4 50 dollar sensors and getting charged 125 dollars to redo the computer and not to mention when the Jeep decides to act up it put my child and mother to my child in serious danger never knowing when it will misfunction again and like many others I am upside down on the payments of the vehicle due to all the money invested.

When driving on the highway the vehicles engine just stops. Power steering is gone if you have to maneuver out of the way it's very difficult when decelerating it seems to down shift very hard like going form 4th to 1st the dash lights flash randomly when ever they feel like it. I've been thru 3 fan speed controls fir the heater this has been happening for the last 2 years.

Stalling problems while driving. This issue has been going on for over a year now, I was told by Jeep to get p41 recall repaired and possibly fix the problem. I've had p41 done and the same problem keeps happening. Everything just completely shuts down and I am unable to steer and have to restart the engine. This has happened to me numerous of times including driving on the freeway. I've contacted Jeep customer service, I was told I was the only one they know of regarding this issue which is not true. Another problem is dashboard lights will light up on and off while driving. All light indicators will stay on for period of time until car is restarted again.

The car jumps and then stalls when it is idling in reverse or drive. It also will accelerate on its own and the brakes are hard to press. This happens when the lighting bolt appears and the anti side lights on the dash, then the care either doesn't respond to pressing the gas and is harder to press the brakes. I have to restart the car for it to work. This all began after recalls being updated, it has been diagnosed as my power train control modual and that it has been recalled in other vehicles for the same reasons but there is no recall attached to my VIN according to Chrysler. Ive done research online and numerous other Jeep Commanders and other Jeep modules made around the same time are having the same issue. The problem is on going and has been for over a year but has gotten much worse after fixing of recalls a few months ago. The date below is estimate of when the recall was fixed.
