general problems of the 2006 Jeep Commander

Power train. The (tcm/pcm/tecm) Chrysler is recalling 24, 461 Jeep Commander vehicles equipped with 407 v8 engines. Th powertrain control module (pcm) was programmed with software that may allow the engine to stall under certain operating conditions. This could cause a crash without warning. ( my Jeep turns on, but it is not able to be moved, it is stalled indefinitely). I asked the dealer @rockwall Dodge, rockwall TX to check the pcm/tcm/tecm. They refused. Said they were not able to check this situation. Didn't have that equipment. Electrical system. This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. The air bag lights comes on randomly. The engine will turn off, which will then depower various key safety systems. I am unable to unlock the ignition on several occasions. Suspension. Rock krawler recalled 44 performance suspension systems sold as aftermarket equipment for use on the vehicle listed above. We have had suspension issues on our Jeep. No one can find the issue to fix it. The Jeep makes noise at the suspension system.

I had gotten my sepertine belt replaced and it started showing message transmission over heating it had not aloud my Jeep to start and it made the starter go out to the alternator is now bad I have had it stall before I got the message and it about caused an accident several times until message. Brakes had skidded me about into a tree & other things and people when I had pressed on them two handful of times, it's like that were be slammed or something.

All the lights on my dash panel went on & I lost power of the vehicle driving down the road. It came back on then off & on. This has happened several times. My catalytic converter has broken into a few pieces. The dealership said this happens often to these vehicles & believes there is a recall on them. I have had my vehicle 4 1/2 yrs & this is the 2nd time it needs to be replaced. My struts have gone a few times on my 2006 Jeep Commander. The rear seatbelt in the middle & driver rear don't latch & when they do its really tight on my daughter. Lastly multiple issues with the rear doors both passenger & driver sides. The handles don't work all the time. They have both been fixed 3 different occasions. They open when they feel like it. The child lock is not on.

Vehicle turned on and as I was pulling out of drive way, the truck turned off and could not get it to turn back on, it makes only a clicking sound, I have called three different Jeep dealers and say to not have the part or know when it will be available. It has been 5 months since the recall, how much longer should any one have to wait for the availability of the ignition switch and I am now without a vehicle, which is my only means of commuting. And to make matters worst right now I don't have the means to fix it out of pocket, I can't afford it. Please assist in this matter, something has to be done.

The contact owns a 2006 Jeep Commander. While driving at 70 mph, there was an abnormal noise and the vehicle began to decelerate without warning. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the rear axle was hanging out of the rear end. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 88,000. The VIN was not available.

Engine idles when stopped and sometimes the Jeep lunges forward. Lights on dash come on intermittingly. Tires keep needing replaced even when getting the Jeep continually balanced and rotated. They wear down on the outer rim of front tires only. Have to keep getting new batteries because vehicle keeps dying. I have had more problems with this vehicle since I bought it new in 2006 than I have had with a car in a lifetime. Interior power stations dont work, passenger window will not close or open at times. Some times the horn will just start going off. I keep receiving recall notices almost yearly. Jeep needs to recall this vehicle. It has been a lemon from the second I brought it home.

The contact received a notification for recall NHTSA campaign number: 14v438000 (electrical system). However, the part needed was not available for repair. The contact mentioned that the manufacturer had exceeded the reasonable amount of time for repair. Neither the manufacturer nor the dealer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 80,000.

1st problem was my interior lights flashing on and off. I could not get it to do it while at the dealers. 2008 I thought my transmission was going bad. The dealer said that my transmission had a leak and charged me to replace some part. Then it happened again. Then they said I needed to service the transmission. I am surprised that dealer never mention any problems with the Jeep Commander ( I thought it was just my car) as I have called several times about the car shifting into neutral, and wondering if it was a transmission problem. The problem comes and goes. I just paid my car off, and now when I ride on the express way and go past 60 the enitre car shakes bad. If I hit a bump I can hear something like a crack noise. Sometimes when I make a sharp turn I hear a click click noise. At this I didn't trust the dealer and was thinking that maybe it was my axil. Took it to pet boys and they could find anything wrong with it. They said I needed new tires, so I bought 4. The problem still continued. I am so upset as I am a single mom and just finished paying my car off. I also have had to replace the alternator, radiator, water pump, thermometer, which I though was normal as the car is 2006. Now past 2 days I can smell a funny smelly, white fog comes out of my vents, and the passenger side floor is wet. I googled the problem and it says that it is the "heater core". The tire light is alway on with no flat. The engine light comes on frequently and says check gas cap. So far I have bought 3 gas caps. I can't believe that I struggled to pay this car off and now having all of these problems. I am not sure which problems are normal wear and tear and which ones are a manufacturer problems, but this is a night mare. I am so mad that I ever bought my Jeep Commander. Jeep should be ashamed of themselves.
