Power Train. The (TCM/PCM/TECM) Chrysler is recalling 24, 461 Jeep Commander vehicles equipped with 407 V8 engines. Th powertrain control module (PCM) was programmed with software that may allow the engine to stall under certain operating conditions. This could cause a crash without warning. ( My Jeep turns on, but it is not able to be moved, it is stalled indefinitely). I asked the dealer @Rockwall Dodge, Rockwall TX to check the PCM/TCM/TECM. They refused. Said they were not able to check this situation. Didn't have that equipment. Electrical System. This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. The air bag lights comes on randomly. The engine will turn off, which will then depower various key safety systems. I am unable to unlock the ignition on several occasions. Suspension. Rock Krawler recalled 44 performance suspension systems sold as aftermarket equipment for use on the vehicle listed above. We have had suspension issues on our Jeep. No one can find the issue to fix it. The Jeep makes noise at the suspension system.

I just purchased this 2006 jeep commander and noticed after purchase the airbag indicator light came on. Read later this is a common problem. Did manufacturer ever put out a recall for this? Is this a sensor issue?

I was in an accident and the airbags did not deploy. I was in town traveling about 30-35 MPH, the car I was following switched lanes and I hit a car that was completely stopped. The airbag warning light had been going on and off for about 6 months. I didn't think too much of it because it is not the only warning light that sometimes does that. I figured the electronics probably didn;t like all the water that pours into the frame and onto the drivers floor.

We have replaced the fuel pump 3 times. This last time it still does not start. The fuel pump is getting power, we traced the power all the way back to the fuel pump and it is getting power but it is not kicking on. We have been searching for wiring diagrams to trace the lines but no avail. If we get it to run if it gets shut off we cannot get it to restart sometimes for days. We have disconnected the battery at times and it will start for a time or two but it goes back to not starting again. With the air bag, the airbag light has come on in the dash and does not go out.
