Jeep Commander Problems
Ticking Type Noise From Exhaust Manifold Area
3.7 V6 and 4.7 V8 engines may develop exhaust leaks due to broken exhaust manifold bolts. Exhaust manifold gaskets and bolts should be replaced as necessary.
Delayed Transmission Engagement
Delayed engagement of the automatic transmission may be due to a faulty internal cooler return filter. Our technicians tell us all cooler filters with the "AB" suffix on the part number are suspect and should be replaced.
Water Leak From Sunroof Drain Tube
A water leak from the sunroof and/or headliner is often caused by clogged or misrouted sunroof drain tubes. Inspecting the sunroof drain tubes should be the first step in checking for the cause of these type of water leaks.
Service 4WD System Warning Light On
The service 4WD system light may illuminate with no fault codes stored in the final drive control module (FDCM). Our technicians tell us a software update for the FDCM is available to correct this concern.
Abnormal Noise From HVAC Blower
An abnormal noise may develop from the HVAC blower motor as a result of debris ingestion. After any debris is removed, an air baffle screen can be installed on the inlet opening under the cowl grill to try and prevent a re-occurrence of the problem.

Jeep Commander Stories
2006 commander My jeep has been showing transmission over temp off and on. I feel it tugging when driving, we've had the transmission fluid replaced but still showing sign and tugging. I would not buy another jeep. These cars are not cheap and I can see myself spending a lot of money on transmission repairs, who knows what's next.
Don't by this death trap! I have had it to many dodge service centers and they could never find a problem with the 2006 jeep commander.
Even though, I would tell them it would shut down and lights go off and on and engine would stop on a mountain,on the interstate,etc. Then after charging me a$100 plus for their time or changing a light bulb for$150.00 and the list goes on and on until one day a cop witnessed the problem and was going to verifed that if somrthing happened to me then he would help my husband sue the Dodge dealership. Well guess what, they keeped it a week and almost got into a wreck when driving it. We was told only then there was a recall, but it was still going to cost us money. Now the tranmission is bad, tires go bad, exhaust bolts look broken.
I wish now that the Dodge company would have gone under, because their dealerships and their company is still not fixing the problems and the new commanders has many recalls. I hope a law firm would do a class action law suit against them because I would be on board!
No republican, no democrat or no tea party member should ever give this company another dime. They have taken our money,caused mental distress and will murder Americans with their unsafe vehiles!
My 2006 jeep commander is the worst car I ever bought. I've had several lights come on. The air bag light has been on for 2 years now. Had it service 7 times,by 2 differnt dealers, for this light, and after changing many parts it is still on. The main computer and transmission went out at 75000miles. Replace exhaust manifold bolts 2 times and is ready for a third time. Muffler failed and was only 2 years old and was not covered under the warrenty(cost $700 for the part). Starter went out only 2 years old and have to replace it again this week. Paint is coming off both front and back bumpers. Dealer tells me it from road damage. I've never had a car that the paint comes off in big pieces. Body shop says it is a poor paint job, but dealer still refuses to agree. In all, my jeep has been in the dealers repair shop 39 times in the last 5 years. This is the four jeep I've owned and never had any problems with the other 3 cherokees.
Worst car I have ever owned. Multiple electrical problems from day one. Bad PCM, misprogrammed computer, AC motor went out, transmission went bad at 75k miles, interior door panels are loose. I am a Jeep lover, but this is the worst vehicle they ever made.
Overall I love this vehicle( V-8 hemi), butttt when you step on the accelerator it is too slow to respond. Once it does it's catch me if you can. I notice that the steering is very senistive. I love the interior color and leather seating. The Limited black and chrome exterior is one pretty car when washed and clean. I really dislike the fuel usage. It drinks gas.
