Replying to: lemon06 (Feb 27, 2008 2:05 pm) I am just became a mbr of this site in order to research the prob that I have been encountering with my 2006 Jeep Commander. I am late in the game, can you please explain what problems you have been having. My jeep has been stalling for the last 6 months on and off and i have taken it to the dealership 4 times already. They claim it's this or that but nothing seems to work. To top that off, I am about 900 miles away from my 36000 miles with no extended warranty. Please explain your situation so that I can decide what to do. Get a lawyer, trade it or what? |

| its been 1600 miles since the fix and so far so good | |
| Is there a particular engine size this stalling problem occurs with or is it all Commander engine sizes? I am thinking about buying a 2006 with a 3.7 L engine. | |

Replying to: jeeptech1 (Jan 31, 2008 5:40 pm) 2.Does it happen on accelleration or decelleration ? ACCEL/COAST 3. What do the instrument panel gauges do when it happens ? RANDOMLY TURN ON/OFF 4. Do any other accessories in the vehicle become inop when it happens? ex: radio, headlamps, turn signals, gauges, etc... RANDOM ON/OFF of radio, all dash/warning lights, gauges. and it's not usually all on off at the same time. usually at the first instance, the whole thing lights up and then one at a time they randomly turn on and off. i haven't noticed the headlamps/turn signals affected. 5. Are you making or receiving a cell phone call within 3 seconds of this happening ? NO 6. Were you within 500 feet of a cell tower or radio/ tv tower or any other kind of communications tower or equipment? NO IDEA 7. Was a tractor trailer within 100 feet of you when this happened? NO 8. Did you notice any vehicles within 100ft around you with large antennas or police or emergency vehicles? NO 9. Were you within 500 feet of any high tension power lines? NO IDEA 10. Were you driving over a dam that produces hydroelectric power? NO 11. Were you within 1/2 mile of a nuclear plant? NO 12 How much fuel was in the fuel tank when this happened? VARIES 13. Does it occur more at certian fuel levels? NO 14. What was the outside air temp when this happened? VARIED 15. Is it more noticeable in certain weather conditions? NO 16. Do you operate any other aftermarket radio or video transmitting equipment? NO _______ Please see my original post # 144. I've had 4 occurances since then. only the first time, did i lose power steering and power brakes. every other instance involved the dashboard only (warning lights going crazy, turning on and off, gauges not working, etc.) it appears completely random. a few times it occurred right after starting up and backing out of a parking space. other times, just driving down the road at speeds between 25 and 45 mph. of course, it leaves no codes and is unreproducible. once, it occurred when i was near a jeep dealership, i drove straight there and it was still in progress (about half the warning lights were still lit, the gauges had started working again though) -- every service bay door was closed, there was no technician available to put it on the scope!! each and every time, after shutting off the ignition and waiting a short pause, it restarted and ran normally. exception - once, a single warning light remained lit into the next day. |

| Whewwww!!! Finally!! Chrysler repurchased my truck back about two weeks ago and I finally recieved my check from my attorney. Good riddance to a piece of trash. Funny I just received in the mail two days ago a recall on engine stalls for my 2006 Jeep Commander Limited. I had to laugh. | |

** HELP ** I am an owner of a 2008 Jeep Commander Overland and we've been experiencing a few issues with it lately. FIRST - Stalled on my wife while she was driving our daughter back from a Pediatricians appointment. (The Dealership stated that they fixed the stalling issue with a TSB software update) SECOND - Sometimes it will just not start! This issue has happened to both me and my wife. Insert the Key FOB into the slot, turn, and nothing.. nadda! Usually after the 2nd or 3rd attempt the truck will start. (The truck is currently at the dealership and has been there for a week for them to try and fix the issue. They can't reproduce the problem so they don't know how to fix it.) I know my wife and I aren't crazy... We are not making this up. Sometimes the truck will just not start. THIRD - The MyGIG DvD player freezes and locks up. When this happens you can't utilize any of the buttons, can't eject the DVD, and so far the only resolution is to turn the truck off and then back on. The dealership has replaced the MyGIG system 3 times and we still experience this issue. Any other Commander or JGC owners experiencing the same issues? Has your dealership fixed your problem and if so what did they do? Unfortunately its gotten to the point where this 6 month old truck with just over 5000 miles has been in for "service" more times then all of my prior Jeep Grand Cherokees combined. According to Rhode Island State Law the truck is now classified as a "Lemon" but we are hoping to not go down that path. Anyone??? -Eric in Rhode Island
