I HAVE A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER AND IT IS LESS THAN FOUR YEARS OLD AND I HAVE HAD THE STARTER REPLACED 4 TIMES. JEEP CAN'T EXPLAIN WHY THEY CAN'T FULLY FIX THE PROBLEM AND THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THE COMMANDERS AT LARGE AND NOT MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE. IN ADDITION TO HAVING HAD THE STARTER REPLACED 4 TIMES, I HAVE ALSO HAD THE ELECTRONIC SHIFTING MODULE REPLACED AS WELL AND THE CRANKSHAFT. MY COMMANDER HAS LESS THAN 40,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED SINCE I PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW. JEEP HAS FAILED TO ADDRESS MY CONCERNS AND REFUSES TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR SELLING ME A VEHICLE. JEEP SUGGESTED I PURCHASE A NEW VEHICLE AND I FIND THIS PREPOSTEROUS DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE CAR IS LESS THAN FOUR YEARS OLD. THE COMMANDER IS CLEARLY DEFECTIVE AND JEEP NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT. INSTEAD, JEEP REFUSES TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY AND THEY DECIDED TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM BY HALTING PRODUCTION. *TT
2006
LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
ON MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER, 3 OUT OF THE 4 INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ARE BROKEN. THE PLASTIC ON THE DOORS FIRST BEGAN TO CRACK, PRODUCING HOLES IN THE HANDLE CUT-OUT. NOW THE INTERIOR HANDLES MOVE UP AND DOWN, AND IF NOT SITUATED PROPERLY, PREVENT YOU FROM ENTERING OR EXITING THE VEHICLE. OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR EVERY PASSENGER IN THE CAR. AFTER DOING ONLINE RESEARCH, IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A PERVASIVE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT THE WHOLE DOOR PANEL NEEDS REPLACING AT AN APPROXIMATE COST OF $500 PER PANEL AND IS NOT COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. THEY SUGGESTED I LOOK ONLINE FOR REPLACEMENTS AND THEY WOULD HAPPILY INSTALL THEM. *TR
