Abs, traction control, and another light come on and goes off intermittent. While reversing feels like brakes are locking up. Transmission shifts different intermittently. I have seen that there is recalls for other 06 Commanders that reflect the issues I am having.

I had gotten my sepertine belt replaced and it started showing message transmission over heating it had not aloud my Jeep to start and it made the starter go out to the alternator is now bad I have had it stall before I got the message and it about caused an accident several times until message. Brakes had skidded me about into a tree & other things and people when I had pressed on them two handful of times, it's like that were be slammed or something.

It randomly loses all power and it seems to shift erratically at this time as well. The check engine light dings once then disappears with out storing a any codes to diagnose. It only does it while I'm driving and if it happens while braking it loses the ability to brake. Very dangerous car, bought from dealership, told it had no problems due to not having any check engine lights and didn't do it on the test drive. As is warranty.

The Commander turns off on its own, brakes on its own, the alarm does its own thing, the esp/bas lights are on, buttons on dash don’t work most of the time, sunroof drain is faulty, and leaks rivers of water into my car! also had my brakes to seize up on me and I couldn’t move from a danged stop sign. I just want a vehicle I can rely on.

I was driving my son to hockey and there was traffic stopped in front of me I went to hit the brakes and the pedal was hard I kept stomping on the pedal and nothing I ended up rear ending another vehicle my Jeep was off after the crash and I thought nothing of it, I thought I was losing my mind that maybe my sandal got stuck but the more I thought about it the more and more I realized I did stomp on my pedal my 17 year old son was with me and he told me at one point I literally sat up trying to push on the pedal I'm aggravated and stressed about the entire thing so I decided to look for recalls trying to explain what happened and came across a incomplete recall, I swear on my 3 kids I stomped on that pedal and wasn't losing my mind nothing made sense so my Jeep is pretty much totaled, I'm not sure what to do I don't want this to fall back on me which it already has.

I was in mattoon illinois,had backed out of a parking spot from dairy queen onto a side road I pulled up to a stop sign for a main road as I had the clear to make my turn I proceeded to do so when I heard a loud pop. I lost my steering, my breaks and acceleration. When I came to a stop half way in the turn lane of the main road I got out to see what had happened. My front driver side tire was laying up under my Jeep. It had busted my upper and lower ball joints, my cv shaft, and my break lines and also bent my inner and outer tie rod ends and my tire and rim. From there it had to be towed clear back to my home in toledo illinois. I thank god each and every day that I had not made it to the highway and was doing 55mphs because I had myself and three small children ranging from 3months old up to 3 years old in the vehical with me and it would have been deadly had I made it to the main highway and was going any faster.

2008 Jeep Commander safety issue where it completely looses all electrical and motor systems while driving or idling. It stalls out only at low rpm or when shifting from first to second gear. I lost all systems including steering, brakes, and hazard lights. This happened to me several times in the past week nearly causing an accident. Dealership and private auto mechanic could not diagnose and it leaves no system events. I contacted Chrysler to see if this was related to an earlier model Commander recall with the exact same problem and they grew angry with me and hung up.

The contact owns a 2006 Jeep Commander. While driving 45 mph, the brake pedal was depressed, but the brakes did not respond. The contact crashed into the rear of another vehicle. After the crash, the contact's vehicle stalled without warning. The air bags failed to deploy. There were no injuries and a police report was filed. The vehicle was towed. The VIN was included in NHTSA campaign number: 14v43800 (electrical system). The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The VIN was invalid. The approximate failure mileage was 190,000.

When I am driving on the main city road or highway I notice about three things that happen all at once. The first thing is I lose control of my steering. The second thing is it feels like my Jeep went into park causing all my wheels to break for 1 to 3 second. The third thing is it feels as the engine stalled. All these things happen at the same time. This causes my Jeep to stop or stall on the road sending me and my passengers to lounge forward as if I had hit an invisible wall at full force.

While driving the car would just shut off at random losing brakes, steering and engine power as well as other comfort features. It has happened on at least 6 occasions, usually you could just shift to neutral while driving and restart the car fixing the issues. Today however it happened will switching lanes to the center turn lane. Upon applying the brakes to wait to turn left the pedal went to the floor, then on the second depress it was super stiff and very little braking force applied. This caused the Jeep to rear end the 2 other cars waiting to turn left. The airbags didn't deploy either.

I was driving down the hwy and my vehicle turned off. I lost power steering breaks and was not able to properly maintain control of my vehicle in order to avoid an accident. This had happened twice before this time, and I looked to see that there was a recall on my Jeep for an ingition switch and the the exact discription of what would happen if my car was effected fit my situation. I then called Jeep and advised them of this and they said I neeeded to have it diagnoised by a Jeep dealership. I had the vehicle towed at my expensense and rented a car at my expense. The dealership confirmed my assumption and in fact the issue I was experiencing is part of the recall. Jeep now tells me they don't have the parts and they have not made a decision on whether it's neccessary to provide a replacement vehicle until they have a resolve. Am I supposed to be without a vehicle or potentially drive mine with 3 children, and potentially loose power again causing a loss of control? what I am supposed to do from here?.

The managed with much difficulty to safely pull the vehicle to the side of the road and re-start it. This is the second time this has happened in the last 2 months.

P41 / NHTSA 14v-438 engine shut off while driving. Removed everything from key chain, and left enough space between knee and key. When car bounces, cannot control knee. Happened more than 5 times past a month. Called Chrysler, have no estimated time for parts production.

My vehicle constantly stalls while slowing down to almost a stop or a stops. It happens almost every time now. When slowing down for a light while traffic is slowly moving my Jeep stalls and I've almost been hit 5 times now. Not good.

While driving out to my parent's with my daughters my Jeep just shut down,{stalled} while going 50-55 mph. Lost power steering and brakes, had to shift into neutral and re start. This happened four more times in the next 8. 4 miles. After dropping of my kids my husband followed me to the dealership to drop it off. About 9 miles away, and it shut down 6 more times at various speeds. Dealer does not know what's wrong and is waiting until Monday to get a response from Chrysler head quarters.

In September of 2014 I recently bought a 2006 Jeep Commander. A few weeks after purchasing the vehicle I noticed the car was shutting off when I was at stop signs, red lights, and most seriously when I was driving. I was not sure as to why my car was doing this. I tried everything from a new battery and countless appointments at my mechanic. I was not informed of any type of recall on my car, until I did my own personal research. In may of 2015 I took my car to a Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and ram dealership to find out when I could order the part for the p-41 recall on my car. I was informed that the part was not available in the country and they were not sure of when it would arrive. I was told the car was "safe" to drive. I was given a few tips: sit far enough away from the steering wheel so my knees were not close to the key, have the car key only on a ring by itself, always wear my seat belt, and avoid having a front passenger. It was only a matter of 4 weeks until I was experiencing the issue again. I was driving on the highway with my boyfriend and one year old daughter going about 65mph when my car completely shut off, I lost power steering, brakes, and every single light turned on. I had to resort to pulling the e-brake which did not help slow my car down. This was the most serious and dangerous incident, luckily we did not get hurt, or hurt anyone else. As a result, I took my car to another Jeep dealership and was advised the same information that the part was not able to be ordered and given the same tips. I requested a rental for the safety of myself and my daughter. It took me 2 weeks to finally receive a rental. I have had a rental for almost two weeks now and was told by the dealership, by pulling the e-brake it was going to cost me $1600 to fix. I do not feel as if I am responsible for the cost of the repair, considering this was caused by the p-41 recall.

My car cut out at 65 mph in heavy traffic. I lost my power brakes and steering. Additionally I lost my airbags. This is the 12th time this has occurred. I called Jeep and asked for a loaner or rental till this is resolved because there is no fix and they said they would not. I have nothing on my key ring that could have caused this problem and my knee is 8 inches from the ignition so I know I did not bump it with my knee. Jeep will not work with me and state it is safe to drive and I should be careful and try not to hit any bumps.

Driving to work at the normal speed, my vehicle just turned off in the middle of traffic, which resulted in the car behind me hitting me. I am deathly afraid to drive this car. When I went to Chrysler & called several times, I was told I was out of luck & couldn't be helped. I was even hung up on. I'm not sure what to do besides contacting the news & hiring an attorney, which isn't in my budget. Is there anyone that can help me?.

Intermittently but frequently the abs and other dashboard lights come on and the car drags and stops in the middle of the road. Its very dangerous. Sometimes I cannot get the car to go without sitting and waiting for long periods of time. It has happened since I have owned it but no one can diagnose it and I don't know when it will happen.

Braking to approach a red light at an intersection the brakes felt mushy followed by complete loss of power. I was stopped in the inside lane of a 4-lane hwy at an intersection without power!. After a moment of panic. . . . Thank heavens no oncoming traffic behind me. . . . I put the car into park and restarted the engine. I traveled two blocks to where I could safely exit the hwy and park. After a few minutes while I calmed down I proceeded to drive the vehicle to my home. Since that time I have tried to get the vehicle in for a check but cannot get an appoitment until August. It has been a few days and I have no choice but to use the vehicle. I have noted some missing and hesitating from time to time but not complete failure. However, I would not take this vehicle on an open hwy as it is performing right now.

I received a safety recall notice from Chrysler for my Jeep Commander stating that I may experience an unintended change in ignition switch position while driving, which could result in loss of engine power, power steering, and braking, and increases my risk of a crash. I have called Chrysler group recall center 1-800-853-1403, option 6 countless times, unfortunately many times having to hang up after waiting 25 minutes to get through. I have also repeatedly called beyer/Jeep/Chrysler 973-644-3200 and they have been very short with me and tell me the same thing every time I call- they have no date of when the part will be in. When I drive on the highway, I am terrified of losing control of my car. I have seen on the news people that have been in accidents because of this ignition switch and heard that Chrysler has a buyout program. I am interested in finding out about this program because I think that waiting over a year, and with no resolution in sight, is a bit ridiculous and I don’t want to become a statistic. Please advice me as to what my next step should be.

While driving on the highway, the entire dashboard went black and the car went completely dead. This has happened 3 times since the first incident. No lights, power steering or brakes, no power windows to put my hand out to wave cars around me. Car also stalls immediately upon starting up. Also another recurring issue is the entire dashboard lighting up and flashing, total power loss--no power in gas pedal, car stops, and then suddenly kicks back in. I called the dealership and they said I must pay $99. 50 for a diagnostic test.

Vehicle loses power while driving dash lights all flash abs trips on and off.

It has been happening since at least July 2014. Vehicle will stall without warning. Will accelerate with out being able to stop. Sometimes we are even unable to get it started for a few minutes. Even after taking everything off the key ring it is continuing to get worse.

While driving and turning a left corner resulted in loss of engine power, power steering, and braking. This has happened on several occasions and we have stopped driving the family vehicle due to this safety issue which is not deemed safe to drive especially up and down hills. . . . We had to purchase another vehicle since the recall fix is still not available and won't be for over 1 year!.

In continuation of my previous complaint 10563803 since the n23 recall disabled the 4 low in the transfer case of my Jeep, Jeep has been attempting to repair it. The most recent repair was completed on 6/19 and per the dealer Jeep had them hard wire circuits t313 and k594 on my vehicle. While traveling at 75 mph the warning indicators for both the traction control system and the electronic stability program lit. Shutting the vehicle off and restarting did not clear the issue. I believe that both of these system are mandated by NHTSA in 75% of all vehicles sold in this model year and it appears that Jeep is compromising these systems in an attempt to fix a related problem.
