2006 JEEP COMMANDER Engine Problems

The contact owns a 2006 Jeep Commander. The contact stated while driving approximately 10 MPH in a parking lot the vehicle stalled. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated the failure was intermittent but a recurring failure. The contact stated that the failure occurred at various speeds. The contact stated that the 12-Volt battery had been replaced approximately 2 years ago due to battery drainage issues. The contact stated that the failure with the 12-Volt battery being drained and had jumpstart the vehicle several times. The contact researched online and related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 08V203000 (Power Train); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The contact also replaced the ECM module independently. The contact had not taken the vehicle to a local dealer or independent mechanic. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 200,000.

Mileage: 200,000

Radiator coolant system failed and caused the engine to overheat and loss of power while traveling on an interstate highway. Pulled over to side of highway. The vehicle was towed to a private mechanic shop. The shop evaluated the engine could not start as it had seized from overheating. It was determined that the radiator plastic end caps suddenly failed causing the engine to overheat and seize. The radiator temperature is very high and the plastic and aluminum materials expand and contract at different rates therefore weakening the connection between the two materials until the part fails. This is a bad design, application, and mix of materials in a part that does follow the basic principles of thermodynamics.

The contact owns a 2006 Jeep Commander. The contact stated while driving 35 MPH, the vehicle started losing engine power and then the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was able to restart after one attempt. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 115,000.

Transmission over temp is a never ending light that lights up daily. I've had 3 reprogrammed PCMs and the ECM replaced as well. The car was also reprogrammed at the dealership twice with the results the same. It will work for a couple days then right back to the original issue and including a few more. Recently the trans over temp came on and stalled in rush hour traffic. Resulting in a almost serious accident. Several attempts made to restart the car. Started and stalled immediately. After the 4th time and reving the engine very hard it stayed running. I've called the recall line on this and several other recalls (1 that was under warranty) with no resolution. This is now a safety issue for me and others on the road. This car is a lemon and should be taken off the road. I've waisted money at the dealership being charged over $300 each time to reprogrammed with no improvement. Bought 3 PCMs at $1200 each. I replaced almost everything under the hood and car with no positive results.

The contact owns a 2006 Jeep Commander. The contact stated while driving at 55-65 MPH, several unknown warning lights were illuminated and the vehicle lost electrical power temporarily. The contact stated that he veered to the side of the road and inspected the vehicle but could not determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who informed the contact that the failure could not be replicated. The contact stated that the failure had been reoccurring increasingly and the vehicle would stall while driving. Additionally, the contact stated that upon starting the vehicle, the vehicle would go into limp mode and would not shift out of third gear. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that the failure had been reoccurring intermittently. The contact also stated that the transmission was shifting hard. The contact stated that the warning message "Passenger Air Bag Off" and the front passenger air bag warning light would illuminate when a lightweight passenger sat in the front passenger’s seat. The dealer was notified of the failures and informed the contact that the vehicle could not be repaired under unknown recalls because the VIN was not included. The dealer referred the contact to the manufacturer for assistance. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 170,000.

2006 Jeep Commander Limited 5.7L V8 Message as appears on dash - TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP While driving a short distance the message TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP appears, the fan kicks on HIGH & is very loud, and it feels like the transmission disengages like being thrown into neutral, but is still drivable. About 2 weeks prior, I noticed smoke coming out from under hood & the engine coolant tank was almost empty. There were no visible leaks on carport. I refilled the tank & immediately called Kilby Automotive repair shop, then took it in. They said that the radiator cap needed to be replaced. The also said the valve cover gasket was leaking. They replaced the radiator cap & made an appointment for June 3rd to replace the valve cover gasket. Before that appointment the vehicle started displaying the TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP message. I took it into Kilby Automotive on May 27, 2021. They said it was a faulty transmission temperature sensor, but they could not repair. They have done a lot of repairs on the vehicle for several years. I called Ultimate Luxury Auto Service explaining the issue. The man said that he could put a new sensor in & there is a broken transmission mount. He replaced the sensor. Fix mount later. When I was driving home, the same message appeared & the fan kicked on as before. I messaged the shop & took the vehicle back in. They put a 2nd sensor in, drove it & received the same TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP message. They returned the 2 new sensors & put my original sensor back in. They said they were sorry they could not fix it & dropped the price of repairs. I entered the make, model, & message online & found out a lot of people have the same problem. Some people have said they replaced numerous parts & it did not fix it, and others say they replaced the PCM. I am disabled and do not want to be stranded or have a vehicle fire. I am afraid that it would pose a risk to me & others, as transmission oil can ignite on hot surfaces and cause a fire in the engine.

THIS HAS BEEN THE 3RD TIME THIS TYPE OF EVENT HAPPENS, THE FIRST TIME WAS AT A CITY STREET DRIVING STRAIGHT FORWARD AT 30-35MPH AND THE ENGINE STARTED STALLING, TRUCK COMPLETELY WENT OFF, HEAD LIGHTS WOULD GO ON AND OFF, ALONG WITH MY INTERIOR DASHBOARD INDICATORS AND MEDIA CENTER. SECOND TIME, SAME THING, AND THE THIRD TIME WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 35-40MPH IN A CITY STREET AND GRADUALLY SLOWING DOWN TO 10-15MPH TO MAKE A LEFT THE TRUCK COMPLETELY WENT OFF, HEAD LIGHTS WOULD GO ON AND OFF, ALONG WITH MY INTERIOR DASHBOARD INDICATORS AND MEDIA CENTER. IT SEEM LIKE I HAD TURNED OFF THE ENGINE COMPLETELY FOR LIKE A SPLIT SECOND. I THOUGH IT MIGHT'VE BEEN THAT I HIT THE KEY WITH MY KNEE, BUT I PULLED OVER RESTARTED THE ENGINE AFTER 15 MIN, AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. ALL THE LIGHTS WOULD GO ON AND OFF AND THE ENGINE POWER WOULD SHUT DOWN, WHEN PUTTING THE GEARS, IT WOULD SOUND VERY FORCING. I TURNED IT OFF AGAIN AND WAITED 30 MIN, RESTARTED THE TRUCK AGAIN IT DID THE PROBLEM FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN IT WAS LIKE NOTHING EVER HAPPENED.

I HAVE A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER THAT I BOUGHT 2 MONTHS AGO. IT HAS BEEN ONE PROBLEM AFTER ANOTHER. FIRST OF ALL THE FIRST DAY IT RAINED THE WHOLE ENTIRE CAB WAS SOAKED, COME TO FIND OUT THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE SUNROOF DRAINAGE OF THESE JEEPS. THE DRAIN LINES DON'T STAY CONNECTED TO THE FLOOR AND WHEN THAT OCCURS THE CARPET GET DRENCHED. I HAD TO PULL ALL OF THE CARPET OUT OF THE JEEP BECAUSE OF MOLD CONCERNS. SECONDLY SHORTLY THEREAFTER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THE FIRST TIME I DROVE THE JEEP. TOOK IT TOO A MECHANIC AND THE CODE SHOWED A CRANK SENSOR AND A CAM SENSOR. GOT BOTH OF THOSE REPLACED AND IT REQUIRED A DRIVESHAFT REPAIR KIT. ANOTHER DAY LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF AGAIN. THE TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE AND SHIMMY SO WE HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF A HIGHWAY BECAUSE IT WASN'T SAFE. TOOK IT INTO ANOTHER MECHANIC THAT WAS CLOSER TO WHERE I WAS HAVING THE ISSUES AND THEY PUT ANOTHER SET OF CRANK AND CAM SENSORS IN AGAIN. SUPPOSINGLY I WAS GOOD TO GO BUT JUST 2 DAYS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON.WENT BACK TO ANOTHER MECHANIC THAT WAS CLOSE IN PROXIMITY TO WHERE I WAS HAVING TROUBLE IN WHICH THE TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE AND SHIMMY AGAIN. THIS MECHANIC FOUND A SHORT TO THE GROUND IN ALTANATER UNIT WHICH REQUIRED A NEW ALTANATER BECAUSE THE OTHER ONE WASN'T PULLING ENOUGH VOLTAGE. TODAY (SEPT 5TH) WENT TO START THE TRUCK AND IT STALLED AGAIN AND WHEN I RESTARTED IT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS BACK ON. I HAVE SPENT WELL OVER $2000 ON THIS SITUATION AND IT STILL ISN'T FIXED. I HAVE READ A LOT OF OTHER CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS MODEL AS WELL AS OTHERS WHO ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS FROM CHRYSLER TO FIX WHATEVER ISSUES THESE CARS ARE HAVING. THEY HAVE BEEN GETTING AWAY WITH THIS CRAP WAY TOO LONG NOW. GOING DOWN THE FREEWAY 70 PLUS MILES AN HOUR AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON.

Mileage: 120,500

WORST VEHICLE EVER! WE GOT IT WITH AROUND 98K MILES ON IT, AND IT NOW ONLY HAS 103K MILES ON IT AND IN THE LAST 4K WE'VE PUT OVER $5K INTO IT TRYING TO GET IT TO RUN. WE HAD TO PUT A NEW TRANSMISSION IN ($2K) AND HAVE THE LIFTERS IN THE ENGINE REPLACED ($2,600). CURRENTLY IT'S BEEN SHUTTING OFF ON ITS OWN A FEW SECONDS AFTER I START IT AND GIVING RANDOM "TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP" AND "SERVICE 4X4 SYSTEM" MESSAGES EVEN THOUGH THERE'S NOT A PROBLEM WITH THOSE SYSTEMS. I TURN THE KEY, IT RUNS FOR 3 SECONDS, THEN SHUTS OFF. SOMETIMES IT DOES THIS SEVERAL TIMES IN A ROW AND THEN WON'T START AT ALL. OTHER TIMES IT STARTS FINE SO IT'S RIDICULOUSLY HARD TO DIAGNOSE. SOMETIMES WHEN IT'S DOING IT'S SHUT DOWN BIT, YOU CAN GET IT TO STAY ON A LITTLE LONGER BY REVVING THE ENGINE, AND IT WILL LET YOU PULL OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, BUT THEN SHUTS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. THE SUN ROOF LEAKS HORRIFICALLY, EVEN AFTER I'VE TRIED THE "CLIP THE NIPPLES OFF THE BOTTOM OF THE HOSES" TRICK.

WHILE DRIVING THE 2006 KEEP COMMANDER THE VEHICLE WILL START STALLING FROM DRIVING AS YOU PRESS THE GAS IT WILL NOT PULL AND MAKE A LOUD NOISE AND TURN OFF. THERE WAS A LOT OF SMOKE THAT CAME FROM THE HOOD OF THE CAR. WHEN YOU TRY TO START IT BACK UP IT WILL NOT START AND KEEP MAKING A WEIRD NOISE LIKE IT'S OUT OF GAS. THE GAS TANK IS FULL AND IT STILL WANT START. THE TRUCK WAS TOWED TO A MECHANICAL SHOP AND THEY ADVISED ME IT WAS A BAD ENGINE.

OUR 2006 JEEP COMMANDER HAS HAD A RECURRING PROBLEM OF STALLING AT RANDOM TIMES, WHILE BOTH DRIVING AND IDLING. EVERY DAY WE START THE VEHICLE BUT CANNOT DRIVE IT RIGHT AWAY BECAUSE IT STALLS OUT IF WE DON'T WAIT AT LEAST 5 MINUTES TO "WARM IT UP". ANOTHER EXAMPLE, WE WERE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AND TURNING LEFT IN AN INTERSECTION AND IT STALLED OUT WHILE IN MOTION AND LOST CONTROL OF STEERING AND BRAKING. I NOTICED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS FOR THOUSANDS OF 2006 JEEP COMMANDERS, BUT OUR VIN # SHOWS NO RECALLS FOR OUR CAR. WE ARE HAVING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM WITH THIS TRUCK AS THE OTHER OWNERS OF RECALLED 2006 JEEP COMMANDERS. IT IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP FOR THE THIRD TIME AND THE MECHANICS CANNOT RECREATE THE STALL WHILE MOVING ISSUE AND CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHY IT IS HESITATING AND STALLING. THIS IS MY 16 YEAR OLD NEW DRIVER'S VEHICLE AND I'M AFRAID FOR HER SAFETY.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. ENGINE SURGED RPMS AND LOST ALL POWER WHILE DRIVING. I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND STARTED IT BACK UP. UPON PARKING, RPMS SURGED AGAIN, VEHICLE TRIED TO PULL FORWARD BEFORE THE RPMS DROPPED AND STALLED THE ENGINE IN DRIVE. I CHECKED USED MY SCAN TOOL TO CHECK THE CODE AND IT CAME BACK P1521 WHICH IS FOR WRONG ENGINE OIL. I USED ROYAL PURPLE 5W20 IN MY LAST OIL CHANGE. IT DROVE THE VEHICLE FOR 2098 MILES BEFORE THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED WITH NO ISSUES IN BETWEEN. I NOTICED THE 4.7 LITRE HAD A RECALL DONE FOR THE SAME EXACT ISSUE AND IT BEING A SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR THE POWER CONTROL MODULE.

Mileage: 147,500

THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES NOW, I HAVE BEEN DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 70 MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE IS A DING ON THE DASH BOARD AND THE CAR STALLS, AND THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. ONCE YOU SHUT DOWN THE CAR AND START IT AGAIN THE CAR WORKS FINE BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS, ACCORDING TO JEEP THEY CHARGE FOR A DIAGNOSIS AND I SEE ONLINE THAT THIS IS HAPPENING A LOT IN MY TYPE OF VEHICLE BUT JEEP HAS YET TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT. I THINK IT IS VERY DANGEROUS SINCE I HAVE BEEN DRIVING ON A FREEWAY WHERE PEOPLE ARE DRIVING AS FAST OR FASTER THAN ME AND COULD CAUSE A PROBLEM.

INTERMITTENT INABILITY TO START VEHICLE. MY JEEP COMMANDER 2006 HAS A PROBLEM THAT IS BEING DISCUSSED ALL OVER THE INTERNET IN CHAT ROOMS AND BLOGS BUT IS NOT BEING ACKNOWLEDGED BY JEEP. THE ISSUE OCCURRED WHEN JEEP WAS IN PARKED POSITION. I AM A DISABLED MAN AND I WAS LEFT STRANDED IN VERY COLD WEATHER FOR TWO HOURS WITH A CAR THAT WOULD NOT START. IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE STARTER, OR THE SOLENOID. THIS SEEMS TO BE A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH JEEPS AND A SAFETY ISSUE TO THE OWNER ESPECIALLY IF THE OWNER IS STRANDED AND HAS NO HEAT AND UNABLE TO WALK TO GET HELP. I AM REQUESTING NHTSA TO LOOK INTO THIS BECAUSE JEEP IS STONEWALLING THE PUBLIC AND THIS IS A SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT THE PUBLIC SHOULD BE AWARE OF BY WAY OF A RECALL. PEOPLE RELY UPON THEIR AUTOMOBILES AND EXPECT THEM TO OPERATE ACCORDINGLY AND NOT TO HAVE RANDOM AND INTERMITTENT ENGINE NON STARTS FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND WITH NO EXPLANATION FROM JEEP AND NO SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM GOING ON 9 YEARS NOW. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS WIDESPREAD PROBLEM KNOWN TO BE AN ISSUE WITH JEEP COMMANDER.

JEEP COMMANDER 2006 LIMITED 5.7 L ENGINE. THE COMPLAINT IS AS FOLLOWS: WHILE DRIVING, AT RANDOM, SLOW AND MEDIUM SPEEDS, ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS ACTIVATE AT ONE TIME FOLLOWED BY IMMEDIATE LOSS OF ENGINE POWER. (AT NO TIME DID MY KNEE HIT THE KEY OR IGNITION CYLINDER) THIS ISSUE DOES NOT CLEAR UP ON ITS OWN. THE ONLY SOLUTION TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT IS TO IMMEDIATELY PUT INTO NEUTRAL, PULL OFF THE ROAD OR HIGHWAY AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. (AT THIS TIME, THE CAR IS SPUTTERING SEVERELY OR STALLS) NEXT STEP- TURN THE KEY TO OFF POSITION, WAIT A FEW SECONDS AND RE START THE VEHICLE. IT STARTS AND RUNS NORMALLY. THE LOSS OF POWER AND DASH LIGHT ACTIVATION IS OCCURRING EVERY OTHER DAY. UPON MY OWN FURTHER INVESTIGATION, MANY REPORTS HAVE BEEN LOGGED (WITH BASICALLY THE SAME COMPLAINT) ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM, WITH ADDITIONAL VIDEO PROOF ON U TUBE ( JUST TYPE IN JEEP COMMANDER DASHBOARD HAYWIRE) WITH SEVERAL VIDEOS OF THE INCIDENT. CHYRSLER CUSTOMER CARE CLAIMS ( AS OF TODAY) TO KNOW NOTHING ABOUT IT - TOLD ME TO CALL LOCAL DEALER, LOCAL JEEP DEALER (CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW) WAS CONTACTED- THEY CLAIM TO NOW NOTHING ABOUT IT. TOLD BOTH AGENCIES TO GET OFF THEIR BUTT TO LOOK AT CAR COMPLAINTS.COM OR JUST VIEW THE NUMEROUS U TUBE VIDEOS. WITH THIS MANY COMPLAINTS, I FIND IT SURPRISING THAT CHRYSLER TO NOT BE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE. I HAVE FOLLOWED ALL RECALLS AND HAD THE IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER AND REPROGRAM THE FINAL DRIVE CONTROL MODULE COMPLETED MANY MONTHS BEFORE PROBLEM OCCURRED. ANY ASSISTANCE IN RESOLVING THIS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

TAKATA RECALL THE MOTOR KEEPS DYING WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC THAT TOLD ME THAT THE MOTOR WAS DEFECTIVE AND THE MOTOR HAS TO BE REPLACED. THE ENGINE ONLY HAS LESS THAN 85000 MILES. THE MECHANIC TOLD US TO BUY A JASPER MOTOR BECAUSE JASPER MADE CHANGES TO THE MOTOR BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL MOTOR WAS DEFECTIVE. MOPAR NO LONGER MAKES THE MOTOR AND REFERRED US TO AN AER MOTOR. THE PARTS DEPARTMENT AT CHRYSLER SAID THAT THEY ARE NOT SURE OR NOT IF THE ORIGINAL MOPAR MOTOR HAS MADE THE SAME CHANGES TO THE MOTOR THAT JASPER HAS MADE. JASPER STATES THAT CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE MOTOR AND SPECIFICALLY STATES THAT IMPROVEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE TO SOLVE THE DEFECTIVE ISSUES OF AN ORIGINAL 2006 MOTOR.

THIS IS IN RESPONSE TO THE RECALL FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH ON MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. MY VEHICLE HAS HAD THE IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED AT THE DEALERSHIP BUT YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT THE REPLACEMENT DOES NOT CURE THE PROBLEMS THAT IT WAS MEANT TO FIX. THE WORK WAS COMPLETED AT 9:30AM AND THE NEXT TIME I DROVE THAT DAY,IT DID THE SAME EXACT SHUTDOWN AS IT DID BEFORE (WITH ALL LIGHTS ON THE DASH FLASHING).THE STALLING AND SHUTDOWN DOES NOT OCCUR BECAUSE OF HITTING THE KEY WITH YOUR LEG AS I AM ONLY 5'4" AND MY LEG DOESN'T TOUCH THE IGNITION. THE SHUTDOWN OCCURS BECAUSE OF A SHORT SOMEWHERE INSIDE THE IGNITION. IT OCCURS RANDOMLY AND SOMETIMES CAN BE STOPPED BY LIGHTLY TURNING THE KEY TO THE LEFT. I HAVE ALSO FOUND THAT THE SHUTDOWN OCCURS AT EXTREME FREQUENCY WHEN DRIVING IN HEAVY RAIN OR EXTREMELY SLUSHY ROADS, WHICH TELLS ME THAT SOMEWHERE, SOMETHING IS GETTING WET AND SHORTING THE VEHICLE OUT. IT IS VERY HARD TO GET THE LIGHTS TO STOP FLASHING IN THIS TYPE OF WEATHER AND I HAVE HAD TO PULL OVER A COUPLE TIMES BECAUSE OF THE DANGER OF STALLING IN TRAFFIC. I AM STUCK WITH THIS DANGEROUS VEHICLE BECAUSE OF MY FINANCIAL SITUATION AND HAVE FOUGHT FOR SOMETHING TO BE DONE ABOUT IT BY THE DEALER STARTING 20 DAYS AFTER I BOUGHT IT BUT OF COURSE NOTHING WAS DONE UNTIL THE GOVERNMENT GOT INVOLVED AND SADLY IT STILL HASN'T CURED THE PROBLEM. I HOPE YOU RECEIVE MORE COMPLAINTS AND MAKE THE DEALERSHIP CORRECT THE PROBLEM THE RIGHT WAY.THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME,[XXX] 'INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' *BF

1.IT LEAKS. WHENEVER THERE IS RAIN I HAVE 2-3 INCHES OF WATER IN THE FRONT FOOT AREA ON BOTH SIDES. IN ADDITION TO THAT WATER LEAKS THROUGH THE LINING AND FRONT PILLARS OF THE TRUCK LANDING ON THE DASHBOARD. WHAT IS THIS ABOUT? THIS NOT ONLY RESULTS IN MY TIME TO DRAIN OUT THE WATER IT ALSO LEADS TO A GROSS MUSTY SMELL. AFTER A RAIN I CAN HEAR THE WATER SWISHING BACK AND FORTH IN HT ROOF OF MY CAR. THIS IS REDICULOUS. FURTHER THIS ISSUE HAS DONE SOMETHING TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. 2.THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WINDOW/LOCK/MIRROR SWITCHES NO LONGER WORK. SO THAT MEANS THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW HASN'T BEEN DOWN IN FOREVER. THAT MAKES LIFE QUITE DIFFICULT. THE NEXT ELECTRICAL PROBLEM IS THAT FOR NO APPARENT REASONS LIGHTS COME ON.

THIS JEEP COMMANDER WAS SITTING AT THE GAS STATION AFTER DRIVING IT HOME 30 MILES. UPON IGNITION OF ENGINE, THERE WAS A LOUD EXPLOSIVES SOUND, THE ENGINE SOUNDED LIKE A BUCKET OF BOLTS. I SHUT OFF THE IGNITION IMMEDIATELY, THEN GOT IT TOWED HOME UNTIL I GOT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE CAR REQUIRES A NEW ENGINE. THERE ARE MANY SIMILAR CASES TO MY STORY, AND I BELIEVE THERE WAS A MAJOR FAILURE DUE TO FAULTY ENGINE COMPONENTS. AN INVESTIGATION SHOULD BE LAUNCHED. THERE ARE TOO MANY PEOPLE REPORTING THE SAME FAILURE, IF NOT ON THIS SITE, THAN ON OTHER JEEP COMMANDER FORUM SITES. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP MECHANIC THAT THERE IS AM BAD PART IN THE CYLINDER #8 THAT MALFUNCTIONS CAUSING IMMEDIATE FAILURE UPON RESTARTING THE CAR. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.

I HAVE 2006 JEEP COMMANDER IN WHICH I AM EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH ON MY VEHICLE. THE DEFECTIVE IGNITION SWITCH CAUSES EVERY LIGHT ON MY DASHBOARD TO ILLUMINATE AND IT CAUSES MY VEHICLE TO STALL, AS WELL AS FLICKERING LIGHTS WITH NO POWER TO FUEL GAUGES, MPH, AND RPM NEEDLES. AFTER ALL THE LIGHTS ILLUMINATE AND GO AWAY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON, AND THE DEFECTIVE IGNITION SWITCH DRAINS MY BATTERY CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO NOT START WITHOUT A JUMP START BY THE NEXT DAY. WITH A SLIGHT TAP ON THE KEY IT WILL MOVE SOME OR A BUMP IN THE ROAD WILL MAKE THE IGNITION SWITCH START ACTING UP AND MAKE SOME OF THE PREVIOUSLY DESCRIBED SYMPTOMS ACT UP. OCCASIONALLY THERE ARE CLICKS THAT COME FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS STARTED, WHICH SIGNIFIES THAT THE DEFECTIVE IGNITION SWITCH IS GOING TO FAIL SOON. I RECEIVED THE NOTIFICATION FROM THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION ABOUT THE RECALL AND THAT MY VEHICLE IS INCLUDED IN IT, BUT HAVEN'T RECEIVED THE SECOND NOTICE TO THIS DATE ABOUT WHEN THE PART WOULD BE AVAILABLE. I CALLED IN NOVEMBER TO CHECK AND SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE BUT I WAS TOLD THE SAME THING THAT NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. SO THIS LEAVES ME AT THE END OF THE ROAD WITH THIS VEHICLE. I CHECK ONLINE ALMOST ALL THE TIME FOR UPDATES AND STILL THE SAME THING. I HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING THIS RECALL SINCE IT POPPED UP IN THE NEWS BEFORE I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION FROM CHRYSLER, BECAUSE I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE. I AM SCARED FOR MY LIFE THAT THE KEY WILL MOVE INTO THE WRONG PLACES DISABLING MY CAR OR WHEN THE IGNITION SWITCH ACTS UP IT WILL MAKE ME LOOSE CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE AND IT COULD BE DANGEROUS FOR ME OR ANY OF MY PASSENGERS EVEN FATAL. SAFETY SHOULD BE CHRYSLERS NUMBER ONE PRIORITY. AT THIS POINT I HOPE TO GET RID OF THIS CAR AND MOVE AWAY FROM CHRYSLER'S PRODUCTS FOR GOOD ESPECIALLY SINCE FIAT IS RUNNING THE SHOW! *TR

2006 JEEP COMMANDER IDLING UP ON ITS OWN AND ENGINE MADE A LOUD NOISE. *MW THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER, THE NOISE WAS NORMAL FOR A HEMI ENGINE.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON A SLIPPERY ROAD DURING A SNOWFALL, MY WIFE OBSERVED ALL OF THE INDICATOR LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD LIGHT UP SIMULTANEOUSLY. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF, CAUSING A LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND CONSEQUENTLY A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE ON THE SLIPPERY ROADWAY. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE SLID INTO A HIGHWAY MAINTENANCE MARKER ALONG THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD, CAUSING MINOR DAMAGE TO THE LICENSE PLATE HOLDER AND BUMPER OF THE VEHICLE. OUR CONCERN IS THAT THIS INCIDENT IS APPARENTLY DUE TO A DEFECTIVE IGNITION SWITCH, WHICH IS THE SUBJECT OF A CURRENT RECALL (14V-438) ISSUED BY THE MANUFACTURER ON 9/3/14. HOWEVER, THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT PROVIDED A REMEDY FOR THIS DEFECT, CITING THE UNAVAILABILITY OF REPAIR PARTS, AND AS OF THIS MORNING THE MANUFACTURER HAS NO IDEA AS TO WHEN THESE REPAIR PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. IN THE MEANTIME, THE PHENOMENON OF THE DASHBOARD INDICATORS SUDDENLY AND SPONTANEOUSLY ILLUMINATING WHILE DRIVING CONTINUES TO RECUR RATHER FREQUENTLY, AND WE ARE AFRAID THAT A RECURRENCE OF THE ENGINE SHUTOFF AND LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKE ASSIST WILL ALSO RECUR, PERHAPS AT A TIME AND LOCATION WHERE A MUCH MORE SERIOUS CRASH WILL RESULT. *TR

JEEP STARTED MAKING A TICKING NOISE RANDOMLY ONE DAY. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY EXPLAINED THE THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS WERE BROKEN ON BOTH SIDES. VERY STRANGE CONSIDERING THAT MY JEEP HAVE NEVER BEEN OFF-ROAD. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH IT HAS BECOME VERY OBVIOUS THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH ALL OF THE CHRYSLER VEHICLES WITH THE 4.7L V8. THE COMPANY DOESN'T TRY TO HELP WITH THE COST AND ACTUALLY CHARGES AN ASTRONOMICAL AMOUNT TO REPAIR SOMETHING THAT I CONSIDER BAD ENGINEERING ON THEIR PART. THE BROKEN BOLTS CAUSE AN EXHAUST LEAK THAT CAN NOW BE DETECTED WITHIN THE CAR AND I THINK IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS FOR THE PASSENGERS. WITH THE BOLTS BROKEN IT ALSO ALLOWS THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD TO WARP CAUSE ADDITION DAMAGE THAT NOW NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED/REPLACED. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING ON AN EXPRESSWAY IN CENTRAL MICHIGAN, I WAS USING THE CRUISE CONTROL TO MAINTAIN A SPEED OF 75 MPH. WITH NO WARNING AT ALL, THE MECHANICAL COMPONENTS OF THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN, LEAVING MY JEEP "DEAD IN THE HIGHWAY". I WAS ABLE TO STEER AND BRAKE, BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESPOND TO ACCELERATION BY PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. I PULLED OFF TO THE SHOULDER, LUCKILY WITHOUT INCIDENT. TURNED THE KEY TO THE "OFF" POSITION AND WAITED ABOUT 10 SECONDS. I TURNED THE KEY TO THE "ON" POSITION AND IT STARTED BACK UP. I CAUTIOUSLY DROVE AT A CONSIDERABLY SLOWER SPEED UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO GET TO A REST STOP. WHEN I GOT TO MY DESTINATION I FOUND A LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE AND HAD THEM DO A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK. IT SHOWED A MAF SENSOR GONE BAD. MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR WAS REPLACED. HOPING THAT WAS THE ISSUE, AFTER SEVERAL DAYS, MY FAMILY AND I HEADED BACK HOME ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STATE. WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 60 MPH WITH CRUISE CONTROL, THERE WERE NO ISSUES. I FIGURED THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. UNFORTUNATELY, I WAS WRONG. AS I REACHED THE HIGHWAY WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS 70 MPH, I ACCELERATED TO 70 MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL. AS SOON AS I BROKE THE 70 MPH POINT, THE CAR MECHANICALLY STALLED AGAIN AS I WAS TRYING TO MERGE ONTO THE BUSY HIGHWAY. AGAIN, LUCKILY, I MADE IT SAFELY TO THE SHOULDER AND RESTARTED. I WAS ABLE TO EXCEED 70 MPH ON THE WAY HOME WITHOUT USING THE CRUISE CONTROL. CONCERNED FOR MY PREGNANT WIFE, TODDLER SON, AND MY OWN SAFETY, AS THIS HAPPENED ON A BUSY HIGHWAY AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED; WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS OR SOUNDS. *TR

UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE HEARD TO BE WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A LOUD EXHAUST LEAK UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE ENGINE. WHILE DRIVING THE NOISE SEEMED TO LESSEN / GO AWAY. UPON DOING RESEARCH MANY REPORTS THAT IF YOU HEAR AN "EXHAUST LEAK" UPON START UP THEN FADE AWAY, IT COULD BE A POSSIBILITY THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS HAVE BROKEN. I TOOK IT UPON MYSELF TO LOOK UNDER THE HOOD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS COLD, AND LOW AND BEHOLD THE BOLT THAT GOES THROUGH THE HEAT SHIELD AND MANIFOLD AND INTO THE ENGINE BLOCK WAS CRACKED IN TWO PIECES SEPARATING THE MANIFOLD FROM THE BLOCK. I CALL MY MECHANIC, HE SAID BRING IT DOWN RIGHT AWAY, HE LOOKED AT IT AND SAW THAT THERE WAS 2 BOLTS BROKEN ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. AGAIN MANY COMPLAINTS FROM CUSTOMERS ONLINE ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM, AND THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THIS ISSUE IS TO LIFT THE ENGINE OUT OF THE VEHICLE TO DRILL OUT THE BROKEN BOLTS THAT ARE STUCK IN THE BLOCK. NOW. MY MECHANIC TRIES EVERYTHING ALL SORTS OF ANGLE TOOLS, OTHER TOOLS AND CANT REMOVE THE BOLTS, SO THE ONLY THING LEFT TO DO IS LIFT THE ENGINE. I HAVE THE ENGINE LIFTED AND FIND THAT THERE WERE MORE BOLTS BROKEN ON THE DRIVER SIDE AS WELL. I GO TO THE DEALER AND BUY ALL NEW "UPGRADED BOLTS" ( AS THE DEALER SPECIFIED) FOR THIS ALONG WITH GASKETS, REAR MAIN SEAL, FAN CLUTCH, OIL PAN GASKET ETC. I EXPLAIN TO THE DEALER THE PROBLEM AND THEY ADMIT TO THE PROBLEM BUT THERE'S NO RECALL ON THE 4.7L ONLY ON THE HEMI FOR THE BROKEN MANIFOLD BOLTS. I ASK WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER REPLIED " THE MANUFACTURER INSTALLED THE WRONG GRADE BOLTS FROM THE MANIFOLD TO THE BLOCK."

EVERYTIME I DRIVE MY JEEP IT STALLS AND THE WHEEL LOCKS UP (BASICALLY TURNS INTO MANUAL STEERING) AND MY BRAKES LOCK UP ( NO BRAKES AT ALL) AND I HAD JUST BOUGHT THIS JEEP A WK GO FROM MCGEE CHEVROLET IN RAYNHAM MA. THE FIRST NIGHT I DROVE IT HOME IT STALLED PULLING IN TO THE DRIVEWAY. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT MORNING TO TELL THEM AND THEY WOULDN'T TAKE THE JEEP TIL THE FOLLOWING WK TO LOOK AT IT THEY CAME UP WITH EVERY EXCUSE IN THE WORLD. WHEN I BROUGHT THE JEEP IN TODAY THEY HAD ME SIGN A DEDUCTIBLE OF 100 DOLLARS BUT YET WHEN I FIRST TEST DROVE THE JEEP IT I TOLD THEM TO FIX IT BUT ALL THEY DID WAS CLEARED THE CODES (FLASHED THE COMPUTER) NOW I HAVE A REJECTION STICKER ON THE VEHICLE AND NO CAR. *TR

MY BELOVED JEEP COMMANDER SUDDENLY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AT 40MPH. WITH NO PRIOR PROBLEMS OR WARNING SIGNS THE ENGINE COMPLETELY STALLED- INSTANTLY I LOST BOTH POWER STEERING & BRAKES. NEEDLESS TO SAY I WAS TERRIFIED. AFTER MUCH CONFUSION & HASSLE I WAS TOLD TO REPLACE MY KEY. (REASON BEING THE 'CHIP' INSIDE WAS MALFUNCTIONING.) I REPLACED THE $270 KEY WHICH SOLVED NOTHING. TO MY SURPRISE, MANY COMMANDER OWNERS EXPERIENCE THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH NO HELP FROM JEEP. NOT ONLY DO JEEP DEALERSHIPS IGNORE THE POTENTIAL RECALL WARNING ON THE COMMANDER, BUT THEY ACTUALLY RECOMMEND EXPENSIVE 'SOLUTIONS' THAT DO NOT EVEN TOUCH THE KNOWN PROBLEM. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THERE ARE NO SOLUTIONS FOR THIS FAULTY SYSTEM, GIVEN THAT NO DEALERSHIP CAN SUCCESSFULLY STOP THE SHUTTING OFF. THERE ARE WAY TOO MANY OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME DANGEROUS STALL. I CANNOT IN GOOD CONSCIENCE IGNORE THE FACT THAT THIS PROBLEM GOES BEYOND INCONVENIENCE; THIS IS POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS AND THE JEEP COMMANDER NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. *TR

I CONTACTED JEEP CUSTOMER CARE, AND THEY ARE UNWILLING TO REPAIR THE DAMAGE. THE VEHICLE COST $12,500 AND THE NEW ENGINE, ONLY 2 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING IT, WILL COST ROUGHLY $7,000 WITHOUT INCLUDING LABOR.

OCTOBER, 2013 RECEIVED NOTIFICATION THAT THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL ON MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. (AS I HAVE 6 CHILDREN, THIS WAS A PRIORITY TO HAVE FIXED) I BROUGHT MY JEEP INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE N23 SAFETY RECALL PERFORMED. COME JANUARY, 2014 I ATTEMPT TO ACTIVATE MY 4 WHEEL LOW AND I GET A SERVICE LIGHT STATING "SERVICE 4WD". I CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP WHO HAD PERFORMED THE RECALL AND BRING IT IN TO BE LOOKED AT. THEY RUN A DIAGNOSIS AND DETERMINE THE TRUCK HAS AN INTERNAL SHORT IN THE TRANSFER CASE. THE SERVICE TECH ADVISED ME IT IS RELATED TO THE RECALL BUT HE CAN NOT DO ANYTHING AT THE DEALER LEVEL. I NEED TO CALL CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE WHO TELLS ME THEY WILL NOT BE DOING ANYTHING TO HELP. UPON A LITTLE RESEARCH (JEEP FORUMS) IT SEEMS THERE ARE MANY (MANY) OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUES. I AM SURE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE TO CALL JEEP WITH THIS ISSUE AND IF YOU CLEAR THE CODES THE 4 WHEEL LOW ENGAGES SO IT IS NOT A SHORT. I BELIEVE CHRYSLER JEEP SHOULD LOOK INTO WHAT WAS PERFORMED WITH THE N23 RECALL AND DETERMINE HOW IT EFFECTED THE 4 WHEEL LOW ON THESE VEHICLES. THEN REPROGRAM THEM TO WORK, AS THEY WERE, AT NO COST TO THE OWNER. SINCE THIS WAS A SAFETY RECALL I FELT I HAD NO OPTION BUT TO HAVE THE RECALL PERFORMED ON MY VEHICLE NOW I HAVE A FAULTY VEHICLE. DEALER TELLS ME THEY NEED TO UPDATE 4 WHEEL DRIVE BUT CANT DO IT BECAUSE IT IS NOT IN THE RECALL THIS HAS GONE ON FOR WAY 2 LONG . I AM GOING TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE BETTER BUSINESS AND I ASK EVERYONE WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM DO IT ALSO PLEASE COMPLAIN SOMEWHERE SO SOMETHING CAN BE DONE. *TR

IT SADDENS ME TO WRITE THIS LETTER CONCERNING THE POOR SERVICE I RECEIVED ON MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER AT ONE OF YOUR DEALERSHIPS. I PURCHASED THE CAR LAST NOVEMBER IN MANASSAS, VA, AND THE CAR RAN GREAT UP UNTIL ABOUT A MONTH AGO, WHEN ALL OF THE INDICATOR LIGHTS WOULD COME ON AND THEN THE CAR WOULD ABRUPTLY SHUT-OFF. THIS BEHAVIOR WENT ON FOR ABOUT A WEEK AND THEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER (DARCARS CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE OF NEW CARROLLTON) LOCATED AT X YOUR JEEP SERVICE CENTER DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM TO BE THE PCM ASSEMBLY WHICH COST ABOUT 800.00, AND WAS NOT COVERED BY MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. AFTER NEGOTIATING WITH THE GWC WARRANTY COMPANY, THEY AGREED TO PAY HALF, WHICH WAS 500.00 AND WE PAID THE BALANCE OF 577.00. AFTER AUTHORIZING THE REPAIR, I WAS CALLED ON SATURDAY, AUGUST 17TH TO PICK UP THE VEHICLE. IRONICALLY, WHEN I GOT IN THE VEHICLE, IT WOULDN'T START., SO THE MECHANIC HAD TO GIVE ME A JUMP. AFTER HAVING THE CAR HOME FOR A FEW DAYS, THE PROBLEM RE-APPEARED AGAIN. THE SAME EXACT SYMPTOMS! I CALLED THE JEEP DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICE CENTER MANAGER, LEO, TOLD ME TO BRING THE CAR BACK. THIS TIME I REQUESTED A RENTAL CAR SO I COULD CONTINUE TO GO TO WORK WHILE THEY DIAGNOSE MY CAR AGAIN. THEY KEPT MY CARE THROUGH THE LABOR DAY HOLIDAY AND INFORMED ME IT WAS MY BATTERY. THIS DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. I NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE BATTERY UNTIL THEY STARTED WORKING ON THE CAR, SO I HAD TO PAY AN ADDITIONAL 277.00 (INCLUDING CAR RENTAL CHARGES) FOR A NEW BATTERY. I PICKED UP THE CAR YESTERDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 2013, AND THIS MORNING, I BROUGHT MY DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL AND THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN! I AM BEYOND UPSET AND FRUSTRATED. I HAVE SPENT OVER 800.00, AND MY CAR IS STILL NOT RELIABLE.

I PURCHASED THE COMMANDER IN SEPTEMBER 2012. IT RAN GREAT FOR A FEW MONTHS AND THEN IT STARTED TO STALL. I REPLACED THE MAPS SENSOR AND TPS SENSOR AND IT'S STILL STALLING. THE STALLING IS AT RANDOM AND HAS HAPPENED MANY TIME WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 65+. THAT'S EXTEREMLY DANGEROUS AND THIS ISSUE SHOULD HAVE BEEN RESOLVED BY NOW. DOING RESEARCH ONLINE I KNOW SEE THAT THERE IS THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THIS VERY SAME ISSUE AND NO ONE HAS SUCCESSFULLY RESOLVED IT. THERE IS AN OBVIOUS DEFECT WITH THIS JEEP AND CHRYSLER NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. I BLAME MYSELF FOR NOT DOING ANY PROPER RESEARCH BEFORE PURCHASING. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCT AGAIN.

ON THE 2ND DAY OF OWNING THE JEEP I EXPERIENCED MY FIRST STALL, AND SINCE THEN 4 MORE STALLS. THERE IS NO ENGINE LIGHTS, ERROR CODES, ETC. THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO BE 100% OKAY, HOWEVER THE VEHICLE HAS JUST SHUT OFF 4 TIMES LOSING BRAKES, STEERING, LIGHTS, ETC - WHETHER I AM MOVING OR AT A STOP. AT FIRST I THOUGHT "I MUST HAVE BOUGHT A LEMON" BUT I HAVE BEEN READING THROUGH SEVERAL FORUMS AND BLOGS THAT THERE ARE 100'S IF NOT 1,000'S OF PEOPLE WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR 5.7L HEMI COMMANDER, AND SOME OF THE BLOGS DATE BACK TO 2006 WHEN THESE VEHICLES WERE BRAND NEW WITH LESS THAN A THOUSAND MILES ON THEM. ONE PERSON ACTUALLY SUFFERED AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS ELECTRICAL ISSUE - LOSING CONTROL OF STEERING AND BRAKES. BECAUSE THEIR IS NO ENGINE CODES OR LIGHTS DEALERSHIPS ARE NOT ASSESSING THE ISSUE AT ALL OR ARE JUST THROWING PARTS AT IT HOPING IT IS FIXED AND CHARGING THE CUSTOMER A BOAT LOAD OF MONEY. SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE IDENTIFIED THAT THE ISSUE POTENTIALLY RESIDES IN THE PCM AND THE IGNITION COILS, SOME SAY THAT THE COILS PUT OF AN EM INTERFERENCE THAT IS DISRUPTING THE PCM. REGARDLESS - CHRYSLER NEEDS TO GET THIS FIXED SO NO ONE ELSE GETS HURT, OR KILLED. *TR

STARTED THE CAR AT THE HOUSE AND DROVE 1 MILE TO THE GAS STATION. SHUT THE CAR OFF TO FILL THE TANK. TRIED TO RESTART AND IT WOULD NOT START UNTIL I PUSHED THE GAS IN. WHEN IT STARTED SMOKE POURED OUT THE BACK. TOOK IT ACROSS THE STREET TO A MECHANIC AND THEY SAID THE ENGINE WAS TRASHED. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE JEEP DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT IT. THEY SAID THE SAME THING THAT THE MOTOR WAS TRASHED. I PAID THE DODGE DEALER TO TEAR DOWN THE ENGINE SO I COULD KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE VALVE IN THE 4TH CYLINDER HAD SLIPPED DOWN INTO THE MOTOR AND DESTROYED THE PISTON AND CYLINDER WALL. HAVE TO HAVE A NEW ENGINE INSTALLED. THE VEHICLE IS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER WITH THE 5.7 HEMI AND ONLY HAS 77,000 MILES ON IT AND FROM WHAT I HAVE RESEARCHED AND TALKING TO MECHANICS THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN. THIS PART SHOULD NOT FAIL IN THIS MANOR. HAVE GOTTEN NO RESPONSE FROM CHRYSLER AND AM TAKING ON THE COST OF THE REPAIR MYSELF. IF I WAS HARD ON THE MOTOR IT WOULD BE ONE THING BUT IT WAS ONLY DRIVEN TO WORK BY MY WIFE. WE ONLY PUT MAYBE 20,000 MILE ON IT SINCE WE BOUGHT IT. I AM AWARE THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED IN OTHER VEHICLES AND WHO KNOWS HOW MANY WERE REPAIRED BY CHRYSLER, UNDER WARRANTY. I WILL BE INTO THIS VEHICLE ABOUT 40,000 DOLLARS AFTER THE NEW ENGINE IS INSTALLED AND I THINK CHRYSLER BARES PART OF THE BLAME AND SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME IN CONSIDERING THIS MATTER. *TR

THE PROBLEM BEGAN INITIALLY IN 4/2010 WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD 53,165 MILES ON IT AND THE ENGINE WOULD IDLE ROUGHLY, THE ESP/BAS INDICATOR WOULD COME ON, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON, AND THE TRACTION ASSIST INDICATOR WOULD ALL COME ON AT THE SAME TIME. AS SOON AS ALL THE INDICATORS WOULD LIGHT THE CAR WOULD HANDLE POORLY, NOT SHIFT PROPERLY, AND AT TIMES SIMPLY STALL OUT ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO MY LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP AND UPON INSPECTION THEY FOUND THAT THE INTAKE MANIFOLD HAD MELTED AND COME APART THUS IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $485 WHICH WAS FINE CONSIDERING THE CAR OVERALL HAD NOT GIVEN ME MANY MAJOR PROBLEMS SO I PROCEEDED TO HAVE THE WORK DONE. A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO THE SAME PROBLEMS BEGAN HAPPENING AGAIN (THE ENGINE WOULD IDLE ROUGHLY, THE ESP/BAS INDICATOR WOULD COME ON, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON, AND THE TRACTION ASSIST INDICATOR WOULD ALL COME ON AT THE SAME TIME) SO I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP AND UPON INSPECTION THEY FOUND THAT ONCE AGAIN THE INTAKE MANIFOLD HAD MELTED AND COME APART THUS IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST THIS TIME OF $685, MIND YOU THE CAR NOW HAS 96,057 MILES. MY MAIN CONCERN IS THAT THE INTAKE MANIFOLD LASTED ONLY 42,901 MILES AND HAD TO BE REPLACED ONCE AGAIN. I VOICED MY CONCERNS TO MY SERVICE ADVISOR AND HE STATED THAT THE FIRST TIME THE UPPER MANIFOLD HAD GONE BAD AND THAT THIS TIME THE LOWER MANIFOLD HAD GONE BAD, THAT MAY VERY WELL BE THE CASE BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE INVOICES THE PART NUMBERS ARE EXACTLY THE SAME (53032774AA). I UNDERSTAND THAT THE DEALERSHIP CAN ONLY DO SO MUCH SO I AM NOW APPEALING TO YOU AS IT SEEMS THAT THE INTAKE MANIFOLD FOR MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER HAS A FACTORY DEFECT AS IT LITERALLY MELTS AND BEGINS TO COME APART ESPECIALLY WITH THE EXTREMELY HOT WEATHER IN SOUTH FLORIDA EVERY 40,000 MILES OR SO. *TR

ENGINE STALLING! HI, MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER WITH 71K ON IT HAS BEEN STALLING A LOT LATELY AND THE ENGINE LIGHT GOES ON. IT STARTS RIGHT AWAY BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON. I TOOK IT TO MY DEALERSHIP & THEY REPROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER, BUT LESS THAN 50 MILES LATER IT STALLED AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY WHERE I WOULD LOSE POWER AND FIND IT HARD TO CONTROL THE CAR. I KNOW THAT A LOT OF OWNERS COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE AND THE DEALERSHIPS SEEM TO BE PUZZLED BY IT AS WELL. JEEP HAS TO FIND A SOLUTION TO THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS IN AN ACCIDENT. JEEP SHOULD ALSO COVER THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SEVERAL SERVICE COSTS. I'VE SENT THE SAME TO JEEP/CHRYSLER CORPORATION AND HAVE YET TO HEAR FROM THEM. MY CAR IS CURRENT ON ALL RECALLS ISSUED SULFER. I SUGGEST THAT JEEP BE FORCED TO BUY BACK ALL THESE COMMANDERS AND SAVE THEMSELVES A BIG HEADACHE. *TR
