2006 Jeep Commander 4x2: ABS light or ABS activating

Filed Dec 27, 2017 · Body, Driver assistance · 45,000 miles · FL

First annoyance was the inside door handle on the drivers side. It failed to open the door at around 45,000 miles. Then the rear passenger inside door handle just crumbled out of nowhere around 47,000 miles. Then around 50,000 miles the brakes 'felt different' when braking and it felt to hard to press down on the pedal to stop the vehicle. The brake pedal felt hard as a rock then the ABS warning lights came on and after a diagnosis I was told that it had to be replaced. Whenever we went through a puddle of water on a turn the jeeps steering would lock up and just kept moving forward & not turning.

Intermittently but frequently the ABS and other dashboard lights come on and the car drags and stops in the middle of the road. Its very dangerous. Sometimes I cannot get the car to go without sitting and waiting for long periods of time. It has happened since I have owned it but no one can diagnose it and I don't know when it will happen.

The gauges stop working: all dashboard lights flash on & off-- ABS, traction control, check engine, airbags, etc-- speedometer & tachometer float up and down in-sync in a sporadic manner, temp gauge fails to register, turn signals/flashers/brake lights/headlights work intermittently, transmission shows all gears are engaged, throwing over 30 codes, but still drives perfectly functional mechanically. (I've even taken video to show mechanics when I get to dealership since it never does it while I'm there.) all the same symptoms, different fix each time. 4/11/13: powertrain control module replaced @94166 miles 4/29/13: ignition control replaced @95,824 miles 5/6/13: front control module replaced @96319 miles.

24 hours after getting my car back the windows went haywire. They are still not working right. While my husband was on the way back to the dealership yet again because of the electrical problem the gauges all lit up and went dead it showed I was out of gas even though it was full ABS system stuck on while he was on the freeway after several attempts to get the car running he drove to the dealership with the engine light on and ABS running. (sat 072107) they'll look at it tuesday. When my husband went to go get my car 07/25/07 he was advised that is was fixed. When he got in the car and started it there was nothing working on the dash at all and the ABS were activated. When he went to the service director dave he agreed that there was something defiantly wrong and it was safe for my husband to leave it the car. 07/26/07 no one could tell me the status I emailed jeep and this was there response dear christina:thank you for contacting the chrysler customer assistance center regarding the service problems with your 2006 jeep commander. We are very sorry to learn of your dissatisfaction with the handling of your service needs. Intermittent problems are often very difficult for the dealer to duplicate. This may cause delay in diagnosis and repair. Often, there are many components that could produce the same symptoms. Unless the dealer is able to duplicate the problem, he cannot properly diagnose the concern and properly repair your car. We have found that if the customer keeps a log or notes on when the problem does occur, this can assist the dealer in diagnosing the problem. Any specific information you are able to provide relative to when a certain problem appears, will help the dealer to perform prompt diagnosis and repairs. We regret your dissatisfaction and trust you will understand our position.thank you again for your email. Sincerely, sheila senior staff representative chrysler customer assistance center.
