Replying to: kjones2 (Oct 29, 2007 6:44 am) Would you mind sharing the name of the Atlanta attorney who dealt with them for you? I live in Atlanta (my husbands family is all from MS) - We are getting ready to try and trade it in because this has been such a mess. The Lemon Law really does not protect the consumer - especially when the consumer continues to drive the car in good faith hoping the dealership will fix it. We figured it would cost us about $8000 to get out with the L.L. What did you end up doing with your car? You can e-mail me directly at jenptsaearthlink.net. Thanks!

Replying to: lemon06 (Oct 30, 2007 4:25 pm) You live in VA, correct? I do and was wondering what lawyer you went with. I can't believe Chrysler pulled a 4 month delay and still wouldnt buy the vehicle back. I have read that inability to duplicate the problem does not absolve them from a potential lemon issue. Does anyone know if this is true?
#143 of 211 jeep cpmmander stalling by mofaces Nov 01, 2007 (4:41 am)
I have an 06 commander 3.7 liter, and although I have had the issue with the leaks in the sunroof, took it in twice to be fixed.(they say debris gets in the drain hoses) not problems at all outside that.. I have never had a stalling issue, although now I am afraid I might. I have 17000 miles on the vehicle. Is is a problem with the V6's or the v9's and the hemis. Should I be worried thatt the problem will start? I hate the gas milage on the car but it really drives nicely. I hope I am the exception.

Replying to: steve_ (Aug 18, 2006 8:21 am) On three random occasions during the month of October, I experienced power loss while driving my 2006 Jeep Commander, 4x4 Hemi.   The first time this occurred, I had taken a trip to the grocery store -- I turned the ignition to start the Jeep and it didn't kick over right away, all the warning lights lit up simultaneously, then randomly and at varying lengths of time went out. I thought "oh, no my battery's going!" but realized that some of the dash lights and the radio were turning on and off. So, I turned the ignition off and waited about 2 minutes, then I started the Jeep again. It started and everything seemed OK (except the airbag light remained on) so I decided to drive home. As I was pulling out of the parking lot onto the main road, the dashboard lit up again, flashing on and off as before, and then a clunk-jerk -- no power steering, no power brakes, lights still going crazy. Luckily I was going quite slow and there wasn't much traffic, so I was able to coast into a parking lot on the other side of the road and stop in a parking spot, where I turned off the ignition. This time, I waited 5 minutes, it started and I made it home without incident (airbag light still lingered for a while). While this experience was a bit unnerving, I'd hoped it was a "computer hiccup" that wouldn't occur again.   Sadly, I was wrong, about two and a half weeks later, as I was leaving my house (so I was going slow) the dashboard started the same flashing routine as before. I shut the Jeep off immediately, waited about 2 minutes and re-started. No further problems but the airbag light lingered a few minutes as before.   The third incident was the day I brought it in for service (October 29th). I was driving along the main road about 40 mhp on a straight smooth section when all the warning lights began flashing on/off (oh, no!). Only a third mile from my home, at the first opportunity I turned off the main road and kept driving slowly to my garage. I made it there without losing the steering/brakes, lights flashing the whole way.   I no longer feel safe driving this vehicle. The whole idea of possibly losing my power steering/brakes while driving fast is very dangerous and puts my family and others on the road in harms way.   The vehicle was purchased from Desert Jeep in Las Vegas. It has been there 3 times for service (list of inconveniences) and the service has been lousy at best. This being an important safety issue, I decided to take it to a family run dealership - Jim Marsh Jeep. The service staff were much more helpful and genuinely seem to care - nevertheless unable to resolve my problem. These incidents did not leave a "code" in the computer and they are unable to re-create the problem, so they don't know what to fix. They called the manufacturer, who took two days to return the call, only to suggest that I remove the other three keys from my keyring because their weight must be causing the highly-sensitive ignition tumbler to toggle to accessory mode.   Uuuuugggghhhhhh. I am not comfortable with this explanation. I am still afraid to drive this vehicle. What should I do? I already sent a complaint to NHTSA. I plan to call Chrysler on Monday.
#145 of 211 Class Action For Commander? by greanbean Nov 04, 2007 (1:27 am)
After a lot of searching around I found the Center for Auto Safety, a Washington DC Consumer Advocate group that appears to work closely with the NHTSA and file a lot of class action lawsuits. I just registered my complaint with them and they ONLY HAVE 5 OTHER Jeep Commander Complaints (unbelievable after reading this forum).   Please, everyone take the time to file a complaint with them and let them know if you're interested in class action: http://www.autosafety.org/fileacomplaint.php Replies to this message: lemon06 (Dec 08, 2007 5:04 am)

Replying to: gug (Feb 05, 2006 10:14 pm) Can any of you get back to me. This has just happened to my husband and me. The dealership has had it for a week and is giving us the same thing. Acting as if this is a new problem, they also had the tech come look at it. Did anyone start a law suit? This is a 2006 Jeep Commander too by the way.
