CarComplaints.com Notes: Whenever a new product is introduced, there's bound to be some problems. And man oh man, does the 2006 Commander have some problems.

It's the plight of the 1st-generation adopter: you get the newest and shiniest in exchange for a handful of issues that get ironed out in future versions. But what happens when that handful of issues becomes a bucketload? The 2006 Commander has quality control issues like the door handles breaking off and the sunroof leaking. But what's truly worrisome is the electrical problems like the vehicle shutting down unexpectedly, gauges going crazy or the cruise control having a mind of its own.

Bottom line: if you want a Jeep Commander, you're better off looking at a later model year.

Commander Limited 5.7L V8 Hemi

  • Automatic transmission
  • 100,000 miles

radio has stopped working 90% of time

The radio lights went on and off then the sound would stop. The radio turn dial won't turn off and on at times and the channels will not always change. Something different all the time is going on with the radio now!

I will as long as I live, I will never purchase another jeep or anything from their parent company again. Just to think my tax dollars helped to bail this company out of bankrupty makes me sick to my stomach and my pocketbook.
