I too have the same problem with water leaks. I have had my 2006 5.7 liter Commander in and out of the shop with a water leak. Each time with the carpet soaked on the driver side and the passenger side. I seen the first time the water dripping from the oh shit handles were the little panel is to get to the screws behind it. The dealership has been chasing seals on the doors, windshield and the sunroof. I hope they get it figured out soon this sucks! I'm going to get them to put in writing for me that once they get the leak resolved that they will pull the carpet and backing and replace it with new.

Using the RCA inputs for audio on the entertainment system. The volume on your iPod will need to be turned all the way up. It takes a few minutes for the unit to recognize that there is a signal so you have to play a song and then keep hitting the mode button on the radio to VES until it turns on.

I have an '06 Limited 5.7 Hemi. Before this truck I owed a Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer. While I loved the Expedition and didn't really want to trade it in I am so glad I did. I love the Commander. I will address some of the complaints I have read in this forum for you. Gas Mileage: the stickers rates gas mileage at 19 MPG, that's at 55 MPH. Who drive's 55 on the highway? I avg about 16.5 highway at 75 MPH. It's a large SUV not a Prius if you are worried about MPG you are shopping the wrong market. Third row seating: It's horrible. They shouldn't have even put it back there. I leave it folded flat. If you have little children it may be fine otherwise forget about it. As for some of the other complaints about other problems, anything made by man is going to have issues. Sometimes it's a roll of the dice. That's why they make warranties. My only real complaint about the Commander is the Nav System. Very few options in motion and the thing doesn't give the best routes. I use my Garmin Nuvi 350 instead. It works a lot better. I would recommend this truck to anyone who is looking and can afford it. Make sure you get the Hemi otherwise what's the point!

indicator lights and no lights or guages by comjeepander

i own a 2006 jeep commander. the dash indicator lights will all come on at once and then everything on the dash will go out and i will lose the fan blower, radio, headlights!!! ,speedometer,and all other guages and then it will just pop back on. the dealership cannot duplicate the problem on visits, but once the engine light stayed on for 2 days. they put a new light switch on the steering column, a new component in behind the dash and it still happens going down the road. very scary. now they want us to leave the jeep at their dealership until they can duplicate the problem. has anyone else had this problem?

I'm having the same issue. The dealership swapped out the Front Controller Module. The same issue came up this morning. Very frustrating....
 
The symptoms are the same as yours...

Hey d reichert,
 
I also am expriencing the same sounding problems with my jeep commander 2006 hemi. It's being doing this for about 3 months now. Everytime I take it in they never seem to fix it at the dealer and now it's out of the factory warrenty. I do have a extended but a nice 100.00 dollar deductable each time i visit. It's been doing it much more latley and I think it sounds much like the multi displacement system. Did you ever find out what was the problem?

ABS Module Recall and subsequent ABS failure by anadfrat
Dec 18, 2007 (1:07 pm)

Took 2006 jeep commander ltd to dealer for recall. After they fixed the recall the ABS module blew. New one was ordered, took 2 weeks (they were backordered--big clue here) installed new module. Failure. Dealership tried for 2 days w/assistance from Detroit and module keeps failing. Another jeep commander was in with same problem. Dealership take car w/o ABS (its safe to drive). Detroit is working on a fix but can't say when they'll have it corrected. "don't worry". This is my daughter's car and we live in the Poconos in PA, bad, curvy roads very dark--ABS is crucial here. Insurance company gives a credit for having ABS. Jeep says sorry, only thing you can do now is complain to your state attorney general, which I have done. Has anybody else had this problem? How can they be so cavalier about a life threatening situation apparently caused by something they totally are aware of based on their initial recall?
 
Any suggestions? Is this a class action in the works? Thanks for any insight, comments, help. I'm so glad I found this forum.

Are the 08 Commanders having any issues ? by katmandu2

I'm pondering buying an 08 Commander. Seems alot of the issues posted in this forum have been addressed by Chrysler via TSBs.

same problems! by cmumander

i got mine june '06 and had no problems until the end of this past summer, at which point i had about 10,000 on it. its just the v6, no packages really. The first set of problems i ran into was my tire pressure indicator light came on. I filled up my tires which were barely low, and the light went off. Of course now it happens every month or so. The other main problem I have is with my transmission feeling like it is jumping gears. I havent had any problems with the car stopping or stalling, but it definetly feels like i am tearing the gears right out of the tranny. Before this happens though, the engine light always comes on, and when i put the car into gear, every single letter is selected on the gear selection indicator on the dash. when i try to use the shift-tronic, it just goes even more screwey.....jumping between numbers and D. It has even happened where I will put it into gear, but the car wont go into gear and it will just rev. I was wondering mostly if anyone had the same transmission problem that I have. i also recently (last 4 days) started having power steering and hydraulic pressure problems. I am taking the car into the dealer (same dealership that left the oil cap off on my buddys Liberty after an oil change) next week to try to figure it out, but from reading a bunch of these posts im scared my car is gonna come back in worse condition!
