Six problems related to transmission failure have been reported for the 2006 Jeep Commander. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
My Jeep Commander started having trouble skipping. There was a recall on the control module and the fix determined by Chrysler was to re-program it. I took it in to have the recall performed and the transmission check afterwards. When I arrived to pick it up, the dealership said the technician was out sick so all they could do was the recall. The car drove worse after I started home and failed to get transition between gears. I was forced to stop at the closest transmission shop. Their certified technician diagnosed that the transmission was bad. So, I had them they replaced it. When they went to test drive it, apparently the new transmission also failed due to the control module. They took it to the dealership and had a new control module installed. After repairing the new transmission, I was charged $4000. Whatever the recall "fix" for the control module was, it clearly was the cause for the transmission's destruction. The other recall for the ignition could not be done because Chrysler has no manufactured part to fix it. I sold the Commander the next day. I needed reliable transportation.

After having problems with dashboard lights going all on and off while driving two years ago, now my transmission has failed and the computer has gone out of the car. I have had ongoing issues with the air conditioning, and have replaced the module in the air conditioning to just have the issue re-appear a year later. The cruise control has gone out. And with heavy rains, I have leaking with my sunroof.
2006 Jeep Commander limited. Transmission failed at 87,000 miles. Without warning, the check engine light illuminated and the vehicle downshifted to first gear at 60 mph (remember, this is an automatic) no acceleration control caused a slow down in an area where there are no shoulders to pull off on and nearly caused an accident. Could not get vehicle to move. Left family stranded in unfamiliar area. Two independent shops say it will take a transmission to remedy the problem. $3,500 dollars.
I won a 2006 Jeep Commander and had some major problems, most notiably transmission failures and stalling while driving. The problem had picked up. Jeep denied there was a problem. , but the dealership staff was seeing this alot. Last week I was driving with my family on a winding road in the mountains with a boat in tow and the vehicle stalled. Thankfully, I was able to pull to the side and not go over the edge. Then, today it happened again in traffic at 40 mph. I had to put in neutral while driving and restart. Please do something. The dealer would not help, and said it wa s Jeep's problem. The Jeep representative stated they do not have a problem with stalling.
