Our 06 Jeep Commander has been a nightmare since the day we purchased it used with 14k miles on it in 3/07. We continue to have problems with the dash lights coming on, stalling just today 7/22- the lights lit up and the air conditioner quit working!!! no fan no blower. . . Nothing. It has been brought in for the recall for this but it keeps happening. Oh and did I mention that autopark Jeep in cary, nc sold me a lemon/buyback. . . . They gave me the carfax report after 30 visits to the service dept. . . . Fool me once, fool me twice. . . I am hoping that Jeep will buy it back again for this complete lemon!! I know have 37k on it and the service dept was talking that they did not know if Jeep would cover the work. . . . They can keep it. .

I purchased my 2006 Jeep Commander 3. 7 4x4 in 2007 as a demo. It had 18,000 miles on it when I bought it and now is has 28,000. I have not driven it very much as you can tell by the mileage, and it has only had to have two oil changes (every 3,000 miles) and is almost due for another. I have been having issues for three weeks now, 1. First it stalled in traffic when I was doing about 30 mph. 2. The engine light came on and stayed for a day, went off and came back on two days later and has been on since. 3. When driving, the car will shift really hard into second gear for no reason. On the 3rd of July it started doing all sorts of weird shifts and stalls, I made an appointment with the dealer tomorrow, and I have not driven it since the 3rd of July because I am worried about breaking something.

November 24 evening leaving fuji (children in car) November 30 morning on way to work ? hit mailbox (baby in car) December 5 morning on way to work ? dies turning out of subdivision and stalls in middle of street (baby in car) there was one other instance when I had all kids with me?it was prior to Nov 24 but I do not recall the actual date all of the instances the engine stalled, the lights (when on) went out, I lost the ability to steer and brake as well. The mph ranged from 4 or 5 mph to 35 mph. There were times when it was warm and days that it was cold. Nothing seemed to standout as a possible "trigger" I took car to dealer after the November 24th incident. Tony in the service department said there was really nothing that they could do unless it was a problem they could "make happen" when they drove it. A few days later I wrecked into a mailbox when my Jeep stalled and I lost steering and braking capability. . . . I am lucky it was not head on with a large truck or a tree.

I leased my 2006 Jeep Commander 4x2 4. 7 v8 in 2006. The vehicle began having problems the same day I brought it home. The vehicle stalls frequently and the electric system disables. The stalling occurs without warning. The stalling also occurs at various speeds and while the vehicle is not moving. When the engine shuts off, the vehicle is completely disabled. The brakes wont work and I lose total control over the vehicle. I was involved in an accident in 2007 due to this issue, Jeep/Chrysler has denied the repair even though I received a recall letter. The odometer is also incorrect, it changes numbers frequently. Chrysler informed me that the vehicle is safe to drive and denied any further repairs concerning the recall. The vehicle is still the same, it stalls very often. Please help me.

Engine failure/stall/loss of power on 2007 Jeep Commander. Has happened about 6 times now. Sometimes at low speeds. . . Sometimes on the freeway. Started happening around 15,000 miles. Dealer tried to replicate it. They said they could not. So they have done nothing to fix it. I have told them about it 3 times. Now it has happened again at 39,000 miles and on the freeway. I lost control and it became an extremely dangerous situation as I tried to coast over to the emergency shoulder. Temporary brake power lost and no response to the attempts to start it in neutral. Please help! started in 2007 and continues to happen in 2009. I have not been notified of any recalls or tsbs. I own the vehicle.

Car frequently stalls. Dealer has been unable to fix it. Ongoing for several months. The car has been in at least five times for this problem.

My wife was preparing to merge into traffic from a parking lot on a busy street in our hometown. In this particular parking lot there is a telephone pole near the egress portion of the parking lot. As she was pulling out the vehicle stalled, causing complete loss of control of steering and braking causing the vehicle to strike the telephone pole causing some damage to the Jeep. We purchased this vehicle because we felt it would be safe for our family of 5, myself, my wife and my three young girls under the age of 8. I have lost all confidence in the safety of this vehicle and I refuse to put my family in jeopardy with this vehicle, this vehicle has done this many times before and the dealer can not find a fix. I have contacted an attorney and he has taken my case as a lemon law claim will be filed. This vehicle has had numerous other problems since the week we brought it home. I have always owned Jeep, from cj's to cherokee and now the Commander, I have always been happy with the Jeep legacy but I have lost all faith in the new Jeep. Please help before someone gets killed in this Jeep.

At approx 29k my 2006 Jeep Commander began acting like it was going to stall out while the engine idled whether in park or drive. It also would act like it was going to stall if I were turning and hit a curb or bump. Examples of when this happened: 1. At night, my engine was running, the car was in drive with my foot on the brake and my door was open; the interior lights began to dim and the engine almost cut off. 2. I was turning right from one road to another and hit the curb and the engine almost stalled. 3. I was stopped at an intersection waiting to turn right onto a road when the engine almost stalled. 3. I was parked with the engine running idle at a gas station looking for my atm card when the engine almost stalled. These instances seem to happen every couple of weeks. The Jeep has been to 2 different dealers three different times for this and they told me that they can't replicate the problem and that my alternator is working at the correct amps. In addition, I have had transmission leaks and my family was left stranded 6 hours away due to a transmission problem that one dealer said was the mistake of another when they fixed my transmission leak.

I purchased a 2007 Jeep Commander in October of 2006. At about 2,000 miles, I experienced an electrical failure that caused many gauges to come on or go off. I did lose my headlights & the transmission downshifted. I pulled over, powered off the vehicle & restarted. The vehicle has done this same or similar problem 4 times now. I've filed the lemon law in indiana, but it was denied. The last time I experienced the electrical fault, my seat starting moving forward for a few seconds while I was driving the car. The vehicle has registered fault codes every time that I saved. Each time, the dealer can not duplicate & performs computer flash updates in hopes of correcting problem. In my opinion, the vehicle is dangerous to operate.
