1 Gasoline Engine problem of the 2006 Jeep Commander

Failure Date: 02/24/2008

I own a 2006 Jeep Commander 4x4 v8. I have had a ton of problems with it. It makes a terrible wind noise coming from the windshield, my ac sounds like a freight train when switch to or from ac, and the most dangerous is that my car dies while turning on a regular basis. I have taken the car in and the dealer tells me they can not find the problem. I am so annoyed with my death trap. I drive around my 3 kids, my husband, and myself. I fear for ours lives being in this car. It is unsafe and will end up killing someone one day.

2 Gasoline Engine problem of the 2006 Jeep Commander

Failure Date: 01/08/2007

2006 Jeep Commander engine dies suddenly. Two different dealers could find nothing wrong. Problems occurred at least 14 times and 7 times in the last 90 days. First occurred at 2500 miles and dealer said nothing wrong. Occurred at 8000, 9000, 12000, 15100, 15500, 17500, 18600, 18700, 19000 and 19406. At 17500 took to different dealer who replaced the battery after towing it in and kept car for 4 days to try and diagnose issue. On 12/8, we smelled gas and we could not restart it for 30 seconds. On 12/21 it died on a railroad crossing. My wife crosses 6 tracks a day and it has died one other time on the tracks, and one time while merging into 65 mph traffic. Have spent 1 hour on phone with Chrysler customer service so far because I told them we only drive it to work and we want a loaner or new vehicle immediately. Am also proceeding with texan lemon law filing. This looks like NHTSA#ea07007.
