Hi all, been pretty tied up work wise but have observed everyones posts and like problems. I must confess upon year three of ownership (2 years from now but who is counting) - it's bye-bye to Jeep for good. Anyway I am still encountering water entering on the door sills as previously written. I had actually "been called" to bring it in as I wrote a while ago as a few technicians from elsewhere wanted to check this out (I had pictures when the ice had formed and the water) and one upper tech management from somewhere else wanted to be there) were to come to the dealership service shop and observe and trouble-shoot the problem. That specific time they had the car for almost an entire week - no biggee though had it been fixed. When I took it home - I called just a couple days thereafter and told them all that was attempted did not fix the problem and interestingly haven't heard another word from them. Still getting literally up to a pint of water on the door sills (both sides) when it rains, this, again, not to speak of when we were with winter here - and it all froze and the doors literally couldn't be opened. Anyway I will again be taking pictures as where the water is accumulating it is now forming ready for this: (MOLD) - algea type coloring. That's something else - really it is! All this not to speak of the continuation of the electronics disabling - this, to do with the programming of seat/driver/mirrors type position for one and seat positions two. While that's surely not as huge a deal AT ALL as the water situation; it is, nonetheless, a PITA - pain in the...... So all and all - I am greatly disappointed in this mobile and honestly, every time I see someone driving one I so want to stop them and ask what, if anything, they've been encountering, not to speak of saying out loud in my car - what did we all get ourselves in to. I know I'm in great trouble when I observe the new Ford aka fix or repair daily as it's commonly been known to stand for - and it's beginning to look good to me! That's just sad, I say to myself!!! Anyway just checking in with everyone - hope the dying out of a few of your cars has been rectified and all others. Mine has not however and I sure do hope I'm the unusual case and no one else is experiencing same, as it's not been pleasant obviously and now MOLD unbelieveable really it is. Debbie-

I turned 2,780 miles on the way to the office this morning in my wonderful 2008 Commander 4x4 Limited. Unfortunately, that trip included me using the emergency brake to stop the vehicle as my brakes were failing. It was already scheduled to go to the dealer this morning for several problems, including the stereo which the sound goes out several times a week, the start and immediately stall issue, the sunroof, while in auto-close mode, will stop and reverse if I use either of the two front power windows, and a rattle in the front passenger ceiling. Yesterday evening I noticed the brake pedal was far away when I was stopped, I actually thought I had moved the pedals by mistake. Then on the way home, at every stop, the brake pedal would sink to the floor. This morning it was the same on my 2 mile trip to work and the last few stops I had to use the emergency brake to come to a full stop. What a total piece of junk. I should have stuck with BMW.

So, I finally got the car back yesterday since it was towed to the dealer last Wednesday. They had to replace the Master Cylinder but had to order one from the factory because the '08 is not compatible with the '06-'07. Of course my comment was "Of course you don't have an '08 because an "08 shouldn't need a new master cylinder." The brakes seem ok, though they are a bit mushier than before. They flashed the stereo but this morning I got into the car and there was no sound, however, I turned the unit off then back on and the sound came back, which is different than before. Then when I got to my office and turned off the car the stereo would not go off. I opened the door, tried to turn it off with the button, etc. Nothing. Finally I restarted the car and it reset itself and worked fine. The starting problem was corrected by them replacing some kind of module. It has started fine since I picked it up. The sunroof problem is now intermittent, so they couldn't fix it. They said they could hear no rattle, but tighted up a bunch of stuff. I still hear it. Ugh, how frustrating. |

Replying to: postermike (Jul 02, 2008 5:16 am)  I can also hear a noise coming from upper windshield. I was wondering if you've had anything like this yet? I take it in on Monday July 14, 08

I just bought a Commander 2008 vehicle since I was in a car accident with my Infiniti FX. Wow do I miss it NOW.... I purchased my jeep a month ago, I now have 500 miles, bought at 4 miles, and already water is leaking into car, now speakers have short and whole right side can't hear anything. I don't know what other issue will occur since I don't know where the water is traveling. Would I recommend going through purchasing this crap  and then make visits to the dealor, NO! reconsider another vehicle, should have purchase the Nissan Pathfinder...... Now I know why they offer all those incentives...... |
