My 2006 Commander with 40,000 miles has had the following problems since it came off the lot. The vehicle stalls and I obviously lose power and steering but there are no error messages in the computer, the 4WD does not engage - the warning light for that comes on but there's no error message in the computer. The window's roll up and down incorrectly - the gasket on the exhaust manifold has been replaced and the kicker of all problems is when the vehicle goes through a minor puddle of water or the automatic car wash the steering wheel locks completely until the water is gone - try driving that in the rain - Jeep was finally able to duplicate that problem by putting a garden hose under the car and squirting water on the underside of the vehicle - this problem apparently cannot be fixed and they can't believe that no other Jeep owner's aren't throwing fits. So much for the lemon law - the steering problem wasn't taken seriously by the previous Jeep dealers -I went to a different dealer altogether however, it's too late.

2006 Jeep Commander the ignition key is located at knee height and perpendicular to the dash. I have accidentally turned off the car while driving at least three times. This occurs when moving the right knee side to side. Because the key is horizontally located it rotates with little force if striking the dangling keys with the knee. A proper design would be having the ignition on the steering column, or having a slight superior angle to the key ignition. This is easily reproduced on all Commander vehicles.

The contact owns a 2006 Jeep Commander. The contact stated that the entire vehicle was flooded with water. The water appeared to have originated from the handrails located on both sides of the windshield. The water leaked into the side of the instrument panel and the speakers. The dealer replaced the amplifier in the rear of the vehicle due to the extensive water damage. The engine size, powertrain, and a valid VIN were unknown. The current and failure mileages were 7,368.

Windshield isn't sealed properly which causes a loud whistling noise while driving. Dealer could not fix problem. Further more, the seal problem seems to make the windshield more sensitive to being damaged.

Sunroof and windshield has leak which caused water damage to my vehicle. I took my vehicle in with all the other defects that are now be discovered with this vehicle and the service people told me it was my fault for not cleaning the tubes near the sunroof. After servicing the Jeep the service department discovered the problem still existed. This seems to be an ongoing problem so I now hired an attorney who is very familiar with these problems and has settled numerous settlements for all these defects.

Purchased new 2006 limited model. Windshield leaks, causing water to stand in front floorboards. Returned to dealer twice for repair. Initially the windshield was re-sealed. Second fix was replacement of door gasket.

- Glasgow, KY, USA

Water leak from front windshield which wets the A-frame inside as well as the carpets in the front. Along with this, there is a loud whistling noise that comes from the windshield at 50 mi or higher speed. This is dangerous since it seems there is a gap between the windshield and the frame. The water damage could be happening for months, while the Jeep was in the dealer lot too.

: the contact stated there was rust on the base of the front seat. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who declared all Jeep Commanders rust in that manner and did not provide any solution to correct the problem. The manufacturer was contacted and no solution was provided. The weatherstrip on the right rear door did not fit properly and the trim around the radio did not fit as well. Updated 08/21/06.
