Body Problems of Jeep Commander - part 2

The interior door handles crack and break: this is safety hazard trap for many consumer because you can't open the door from the inside if in an accident or in an emergency. I have been following this complaint since this vehicle came out on the market several hundred and so far nothing has been to correct this problem. Only having the consumer fix it their self which is very costly to fix. My dealer shop quoted me 500. 00 per door and I have 2 that are badly cracked and broken : please consider a recall on the door handles and think of the safely of adults and children . This happens by just opening a door due to poor product select on the manufacturer.

First annoyance was the inside door handle on the drivers side. It failed to open the door at around 45,000 miles. Then the rear passenger inside door handle just crumbled out of nowhere around 47,000 miles. Then around 50,000 miles the brakes �felt different� when braking and it felt to hard to press down on the pedal to stop the vehicle. The brake pedal felt hard as a rock then the abs warning lights came on and after a diagnosis I was told that it had to be replaced. Whenever we went through a puddle of water on a turn the Jeeps steering would lock up and just kept moving forward & not turning.

The door handle assembly on the driver side has become brittle causing the unit to break potentially causing the driver to become trapped. This is concerning especially during an emergency.

1. The vehicle leaks. I suspected it was the the sun roof as that would be the obvious choice. After completely cleaning and testing the drain lines. . Read more...

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 vehicle paint is "spidering" and cracking on the hood. You wouldn't think this could happen since it sat in a garage for almost a year while I was deployed, I wax it religiously and it is used very little. When talking to the Jeep dealer, they make it sound like it is acceptable wear and tear. I think there is a flaw in the paint used for that specific year and possibly manufacturing location.

All of the door handles on the vehicle are coming loose from the door panel. They are so loose that they could not open the door from the inside if anyone needed to exit the vehicle in a timely manner. I have already had to have one replaced because it would not open the door. I am not the only one having this issue as I have seen numerous reports of the same issue for similar vehicles. This is a safety issue if someone cannot exit the vehicle in an emergency situation.

The interior door handles of my vehicle have all developed hairline fractures and then they end up shattering upon normal use. All 4 of my interior door handles are now completely broken and the driver door takes time and care to open it from the inside. I am afraid that if there is an auto accident I am involved in, I will not be able to get out of my vehicle or get my three very young children out either.

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.

Jeep Commanders share a faulty interior door handle assembly problem. The shape of the handle may be different in each model, however the problem is with the incorrect resin mix which results in a brittle and crumbling material causing failure just the same. This is obviously a manufacturer?s defect, however it?s a fault that is not covered under Jeep?s warranty. There?s no recall or service bulletin. Until recently, the only fix was replacing the entire door panels. Chrysler designed the interior door panels on the Jeep Commander in such a way that the entire door panel had to be replaced rather than just the door handle. The interior door handle is plastic welded at certain points from the backside of the door panel.

Sunroof leaks and windows leak cause water to flood into the passenger side of the truck and rear of the truck. Also cause a shortage in the electrical system and shuts off the radio. Driver side window module has a shortage when lowering and raising windows the lights flash and radio goes in and out.

I purchased in November 2012 and ever since with each rain storm my interior floods and it is starting to affect electronics. I have service 4wd system system after n23 recall and vehicle won't shift into 4 lo. I have service park assist and tpms warning and had all four sensors replaced with warning recurring. I recently started losing all four door speakers intermittently and when they do work they sound horrible. Display on radio is starting to go black and dim. I have lights on dash display flash on and off when they want. I have crazy rpm fluctuation at idle and recently transmission feels like it is trying to shift and rpm fluctuations when cruising at hwy speeds. I have bumped the key on multiple occasions and the vehicle is essentially shut off and still moving. Most problems have just recently begun and haven't taken to dealer yet but after reading about many of the same problems and Jeep not owning up to any of them, I don't have the money to chase phantom problems that the dealer can't recreate and change parts and hope it fixes the problem. I don't feel safe driving the vehicle and have to dry the vehicle out after every rain. I am about to have to write it off as a loss and buy a new vehicle which will not be a Jeep. I guess hundreds of people will have to die for Jeep to man up and admit they made a terrible unsafe vehicle and quit making their customers pay for their mistake.

The vehicle will suddenly lose power to the headlights, taillights, instrument panel, speedometer, odometer, and the interior some lights will turn themselves on without cause or warning. In the most recent event, vehicular damage and possible personal injury nearly occurred when driving in the dark, almost striking a utility pole. Also, the automatic window control will not function properly when trying to roll up the window itself. It will stop halfway and bring itself back down. It usually takes 3-4 times to roll the window up. This has occurred numerous times, so many that I can't keep track. The local dealership cannot pinpoint the issue and this vehicle is not safe to be on the road.

My interior door handles are all broken. If I want to open my door, I have to roll the windows down first. If there is a fire, I will probably die.

3rd row seat belts break and are unusable whenever the 3rd row seats are folded down. The plastic piece is pushed over the metal latching piece of the seat belt. They have been fixed and are now broken again, now the 3rd row seat cannot be used for passengers. Water from rain is coming through the doors, puddling at the base of the door. The Jeep was in park, when I attempted to put the car in reverse it would not go, all of the prd were lit up with blocks around them. I turned off the Jeep and I was able to put the car in reverse.

I own a 2006 Jeep Commander with 78k miles and the driver front and passanger rear doors have shattered behind the handle causing the handle to become usless from the inside. I feel this is a safty issue as no one can exit the vehicle from those door in the event of an emergency. After doing a little research I have found that this problem is not a one time occurance and is happening more and more often. The cost to replace the whole door panel is well over $600. 00 each and that from my understanding is the only fix to this little cheap piece of plastic breaking. Lets hope this is fixed before some one is hurt or killed.

The passenger side rear interior door handle casing cracked causing the door being unable to open from the inside. A few months later, the same issue came about with the driver's side front door; however I am able to open the door if I angle it correctly and with several attempts. This is very concerning as, in my opinion, it is a safety issue. If an emergency were to happen, my children or myself would not be able to exit the vehicle immediately. I have spoken with Jeep and they stated they are not aware of any problem and would need to replace the entire door panels.

Interior door panels(both front doors) at door handles the plastic around handles has cracked and fallen out making the door handle sometimes unstable to open the door. Concerned from a safety standpoint that at some point the doors will not be able to be open from the inside and could be trapped inside in case of an emergency and the option of powering down the window is not possible.
