Vehicle has less than 3,000 miles on it and already have a rock chip in front windshield. Happened when roads were clear and no gravel on road. Have seen message boards of other owners who state their front windshields are prone to chips as well.
2007 Jeep Commander 4x4 visibility complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 15 of 15, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I just leased a 2007 jeep cherokee in march of '07. And, it drives wonderfully! However, I've noticed a few (glitches) concerns lately with this vehicle. I have major leaks in my side rails right above the dashboard when it rains. I believe this is because of how the insulation was done on the actual roof as well as the doors. I've also noticed my passenger window sticking while lowering the window or raising the window. And, my windshield seems to be glistening now -- I'm thinking that those glistening small cracks will truly turn into major problems long-term! I am currently leasing and was seriously deciding to purchase this vehicle. But, with my concerns listed I'm not sure how long this jeep commander will last me financially. Hopefully these problems will be recalled and maybe my decision to purchase will change. I'm sure that these problems are not just affecting me. We'll see what happens. Hopefully you can help! Have a nice day!!
Windshield started cracking from top edge on passenger side, about 5 inches from the side, for no apparent reason. No evidence of a chip and no rock hit the windshield as far as we know. This happened on a rental car so it's possible that the crack was already started when we picked up the car and we didn't see it - there's a small portion of the glass that is black at the top so we wouldn't have been able to see the crack in this area if it was already there. The crack spread down a couple of inches from the black area and then started across the windshield.
There is a design problem with the front windshield. In the last three weeks I have gotten three hits to the windshield while driving on the expressway. All three were below the wiper line. The first one resulted in an immediate crack which wa s now a foot long. Before I had a chance to repair that I received another stone hit. This one also cracked immediately, and was about 8" long. This third hit happened this morning and could have been very dangerous. The hit was again below the wiper blade ,but this time the windshield shattered and blew small glass pieces inside the vehicle. If it would have been 6 more inches to the left I would have gotten hit in the face. As it was I got hit in the arm, and had glass dust and shards all over the dashboard and passenger seat. I am scared to drive this vehicle now.
A new vehicle, the jeep commander, on a wet highway, is a major problem for anyone behind. Reason, horrible design results in more spray and mist kicked up than an eighteen wheeler. This horribly designed, unaerodynamic pile of junk is a major menace that turns a wet highway into a moving cloud and they will be the cause of a major pile-ups. All should be bought back and scrapped. Test one on a very wet asphalt highway and my complaint will be obvious to all. Ban this vehicle before it kills someone.
