Replying to: cdawg2 (Sep 20, 2007 11:45 am) It is the windshield seal. Tell the service people to let your jeep sit in the direct sun for a couple of hours, let the windshield heat up then take the jeep for a drive. They should be able to heat the noise then. Here is the dealership that fixed mine. Stokes, Alabama

Hi-Just wanted to ask all of you fellow whistlers if you all have sunroofs? My salesguy has an 06 Cammander too, but he has no sunroof & does not suffer from whistling! He wanted me to ask everyone. My service guy has filled in the gap between the seal & the windshield at the top. This may help. I will find out today when I pick it up. He says it doesn't look bad, but I will be the judge of that! Keep pushing your service people to make it stop! Don't let it go! It is annoying & Chrystler should do something! I have been very pushy & my service guys are good & tired of Chrystler also. Good Luck! KJ

Yes, I have a sunroof. However, the whistling fix addressed only the trim about the windshield, and nothing was done to the sunroof.   Good luck.

I have an 06 commander with a whistling windshield. I have taken it to the dealer 5 times. They resealed my windshield and made the sound worse. The whistling used to start around 50 after the windshield seal was redone it starts at 25 and is lounder now. I took it back it has been in the shop now since 10/11/07 each time I talk to service they have said they are doing all the bulletins none have worked. They are now on the last option and are waiting for the part to arrive. I hope this works because I want my car back but I concerned about what condition it will be in considering they have taken the entire dash out multiple times.

Replying to: mycommand (Oct 22, 2007 6:08 am) I have an 08 that HAD the deadly whistle. With NO help from the dealer I was able to resolve it. The roof racks were installed backwards. On top of the rails, they are labled forward/front facing and rear/front facing with arrows directing you towards the front. Mine were facing the rear. I never thought it would matter but boy was I wrong. Flipped them and presto....NO NOISE. Hope this helps. Replies to this message: wicommander (Mar 21, 2008 4:13 pm)

Thanks for the suggestion but I don't have the roof racks. The dealer finally got the part Tuesday and began to work on it again. My husband called today(Thursday) and they said it would take another couple of hours of work to put it back together and we still don't know if it will work. I feel just sick about it.

Hey Guys,   Does Chrysler have any CLUE as to what is goin on with the the Commander. For the price we paid for these vehicles it seems that something would GET DONE! Wow powertrain lifetime warranty what about everything else! My last attempt at the noise solved 1/2 the problem sometimes. We only seem to hear it when the AC in on reserculate, (the one for the inside air) and only at 65 to 70. So if I am going on the interstate, I just put it on outside air unless there are air problems then I suck it up and listen to the whistle for a while. I have another dealer that will to my service work. So next trip might be to the other guy. I love my jeep but am disappointed in JEEP , my first jeep was a Liberty(drove it out and it only went back for oil changes and regular service) I would still have it if my husband had not got a wild hair to get something bigger. Cindy

Chrysler DOES know what is up with the whistling! I have a claim number! BUT, they have been blowing me off for months! Mine has been into service at least 6 times-I have threatened a law suit-No good! Chrysler does not care! They brought a tech in right from Chrysler & he couldn't figure out the whistle either! I too had a Liberty, jacked it up, put on bigger tires, & drove the hell out of it off road at many Jeep Jamborees, but I did the stupid I need a bigger Jeep too! With 2 small kids, there was no room in that Liberty! I love the Commander, but not the problems! Guess I have to get on Chrystler again. I suggest all of you do as well. Maybe then, they will fix these lousy seals! My whistle got better, but now I have another weird wind noise at high speeds. It still has the normal whistle at 40mph. I agree that for the price paid, the vehicle should not make any noises at all!

I got my jeep back Friday for the weekend while they ordered more parts to replace all of the a/c duct work. The problem was still not fixed of course and now I have stains on the passenger seat and on the ceiling, they nicked up the plastic area near the ignition, cracked my windshield, and didn't put the dash and console back in correctly. I am completely fed up with the incompetence of the service department. I can't even change dealers because now they have done all this damage to my car that no other dealer will fix because they did not do it. I love my commander, I just want it fixed and in the condition I brought it to them in. I do not have much faith in this now. Replies to this message: jeepkj (Nov 27, 2007 8:52 am)
