#563 of 622 I-Pod Problems by papagreg Jul 21, 2006 (8:25 am)
You probably have already done this ,....but I would go to the dealer that sold the Commander to you and tell them the problem. Sometimes they have a audio person that can stop by when you schedule a service call that will go through the entire set-up and show you thier little tricks to operate if there are any. It seems almost useless if you have to fight with it each time you want to use it. Just a thought anyways....Good Luck.

Replying to: pica1 (Jul 20, 2006 5:55 pm) We are actually getting the diesel late '07 m/y for both the JGC and Commander. The Commander of course will get it as it rides on the JGC's platform..   As to the Liberty, it is said to be dropping the old-tech 2.8L TD in favor of the Blutec MB diesel that will power the JGC and Commander.   And yes, Dr.Z is correct. The Bluetec has been tested to 1 million miles and has not lost any emission control or soot/particulate trap functions. It's one thing Mercedes does right, and that is build diesels. The Bluetec is said to be cleaner than any diesel on the road by way of low-sulfur fuel yet returns 31 mpg on Jeeps that are on sale in Europe now...   One question: Where do I signup????

Replying to: blkhemi (Jul 21, 2006 3:16 pm) Sweet! Has this been published/reported somewhere? I suppose I won't really believe DC had the good sense to put a diesel in the Commander until I see one on the lot, but it would be nice to read a quote from a DC person saying that's what they plan to do.   I've sort of dreaded my next car purchase, knowing my choices are really limited. VW's Toureg TDI is too small (not quite enough room for three car seats), but I really don't need a super-quad-crew cab diesel pickup truck. No one really makes anything in between powered by a diesel.   That's why I'm really stoked -- if it's true -- that DC is going to put a diesel in the Commander.

Replying to: pica1 (Jul 21, 2006 8:06 pm) You heard it from the top guy himself, Dr. Zetche.   Listen carefully to what he says after he mentions the flex-fuel models. The Liberty, Commander, and JGC will offer the cleanest diesels around. But I do think however the Commander will have late availability tho..

#570 of 622 2006 Commander by notautoimmune Aug 01, 2006 (12:08 pm)
It's a black 2006 and has < 10k on it. It is actually a company car so I can choose another one in September if I want. Problem is - not sure it's what I want again. MPG for a six is not that great - probably because the thing is shaped like a brick - meaning a huge drag coefficient. I just broke the $50 barrier on a fill up, too. I'm feeling that we need to be a little bit kinder to the environment too - so something else may be in order. For what it's worth, I do get a lot of looks. Most are positive except for the Rover owners who think the Jeep is a Rover/Hummer wannabe. Nope, that ain't the case as my Jeep is in the garage more than it's in the shop. It's odd that I live in a metro area of around .5 million but still don't see that many of them around. It's cloth interior (no leather option allowed by company) is pretty comfortable and if you put the a/c on recirculating, it turns into a meatlocker fast! The DVD in back seat is nice but the little lip at the back of the trunk has caused numerous spills when the gate is opened. We learned to open the window above it first to check for things that might fall out. Another gripe is if you open the window after rain/car wash, the water comes inside and on your lap! Something weird about the channels above the window I guess. The hand grips way up in front over the dash are almost useless except for orangutangs. The third-row seats are not good for adults except for pretty short trips. We don't have kids but the extra cargo room when they're are folded is handy. Problem about the Jeep vs something else is, we need something to haul stuff when called for - our other car is a 2-seater with a mini-trunk. I kinda like the Mazda 3 and the Toyo Matrix - do they do well hauling stuff from Lowe's? Do they come in 4wd? Subaru Legacy? I am open to recommendations.

Replying to: blkhemi (Jul 12, 2006 4:29 pm) I live actually in Millington and have been going to King Cotton in Covington. I am very happy with them. They seem to know there stuff and don't give me any crap about when I say something is wrong they say okay lets get it fixed not well if you do this an blah blah with excuses. I am not a moron and I hate being treated like one. Nothing pushes me over the edge more. So no more Gossett for me. Thanks for the info if I start having problems with King Cotton I know where to go next. The funny thing is the last time I was down there at Gossett with my jeep the guy was like you have anymore problems you just let us know and I looked at him and go not likely with the crappy service i have gotten here. The guy just looked at me with a blank stare like I don't get it. They had my jeep everytime it was there atleast a day longer than was stated. The first oil change I had done there they did not do right and I had to take it back because it was leaving oil on my garage floor. (I was irrate about that one.) When they ordered the part to fix my morse code noise I had to call them 2 weeks after to see if they got the part because they never called me they had it for over a week. The sales end was great they dealt with me and got me a good price and paid of my car I am happy with that end. I don't know about the other service departments for the other brands of vehicles they sell but the chrysler service department really is terrible. Of course the sales department there might be terrible too I had a salesman from the volkswagen lot.   The thing that makes all of this so funny now though to me is the day I was down there getting down to it with the service manager and sales manager and all was the way my husband quietly and calmly stepped away when they tried to talk to him about it instead of me. He simply said you think she is bad you don't want me to step in and besides she is doing a good job as it is. I laughed so hard on the way home that night.

Replying to: commanderman (Jul 21, 2006 7:51 am) Try turning the volume up on your iPod. Mine works if I have the iPod at 50% or higher volume (bar at least half way) - otherwise I get the same results as you.
