Mid/rear Seats Assembly Problems of Jeep Commander

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.

The contact owns a 2006 Jeep Commander. While driving 55-60 mph, the rear seat spontaneously caught on fire. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The contact extinguished the fire. Afterwards, the horn and radio failed to work and all the instrument cluster warning indicators illuminated. There were no injuries and a police report was not filed. The contact called the local dealer (jake sweeney Chrysler Jeep Dodge ram, 85 w kemper rd, cincinnati, OH 45246, (513) 782-1000) and was informed that the vehicle was not included in a recall. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 260,000.

Vehicle was sold with no lights in back, including break and reverse lights, broken seat belts in back seats and one back seat that does not fold down which blocks rear view, and finally with bald tires that needed to be replaced immediately. The lights were supposedly fixed by the dealership's repair shop but after only a few weeks the lights were not working. The seat belts were supposed to be replaced and we were told that replacements were ordered but the dealership never called back to confirm that they arrived and ready for installation, they still have not been replaced. We were told that the tires and seat folding down were not safety issues and had to replace the tires ourselves. The seat still does not fold down and the lights on the back of the vehicle still don't stay on.

The contact owns a 2006 Jeep Commander. When she attempted to install the safety seat in the forward facing position ,she noticed that the vehicles rear seats head rest tilted forward;which does not allow the safety seat to rest against the seats back . She could not remove the head rests or push them backward; therefore the safety seat could tilt over if there was an accident. She contacted the manufacturer. A representative stated that this was how the seats head rest was designed and that there was nothing they could do to assist with the installation of her safety seat. She was advised to file a complaint with NHTSA. The safety seat was a como manufactured by recaro she did not have the model number. The current and the failure mileages were 65,000.

I am a certified child passenger safety technician. I attempted an install of two britax marathon child restraints (forward-facing) into the outboard second-row seating positions of a 2007 Jeep Commander. The headrests in those seating positions slant forward and do not allow the child restraints to lay flat against the vehicle seat back. The headrests are not designed to be removed and will not fold back (if removed, two metal spikes stick out vertically from the vehicle seat back). I believe this arrangement may be the cause of incorrect forward-facing child seat installations in 100% of attempts in this model of vehicle. I do not know what other Jeep models have the same headrest setup. I have contacted Jeep customer service, but they are unable to answer technical questions.
