1.it leaks. Whenever there is rain I have 2-3 inches of water in the front foot area on both sides. In addition to that water leaks through the lining and front pillars of the truck landing on the dashboard. What is this about? This not only results in my time to drain out the water it also leads to a gross musty smell. After a rain I can hear the water swishing back and forth in ht roof of my car. This is rediculous. Further this issue has done something to the electrical system. 2.the electrical system. The driver's side door window/lock/mirror switches no longer work. So that means that the driver's side window hasn't been down in forever. That makes life quite difficult. The next electrical problem is that for no apparent reasons lights come on. As I driving the interior lights just start to shine bright all of them at the same time. One night I woke up at three in the morning to find my headlights on. I tried to turn them off but couldn't. It eventually wore the battery out. Lastly electronics wise is my dashboard lights flicker crazy. 3.the door handles. Behind the actual door handle is plastic. This has all broken away. I am sure it is just a matter of time before I can open the doors at all. 4.it just stops running. Five times now as I am driving (streets or highway) the truck has just shut down. Fortunately it starts right back up but this is extemely dangerous. This form asks for dates...all of this is ongoing.

Water leaks into vehicle from door and sunroof.

Filed May 1, 2014 · Body, Electrical · LA

I opened my car driver's door one morning to find two inches of rainwater on the floor near the pedals. Unable to find the source, I put my jeep commander in the shop. I was charged for them fixing the leak that never got fixed. I have had everything checked out numerous times & no one can tell me how water gets in. However inconvenient, I am parking my car in parking garages every time it rains now, given there seems to be no other solution. In addition to the leak, my commander's radio/stereo just stopped working. I can't get it to turn on or work & and am now experiencing electrical problems having to do with window controls. After researching my options I learned that too often these same exact problems appear for many if not most commander owners. (I also reported a major problem with this car stalling in it's own complaint.) these problems need to be analyzed by real professionals & the jeep commander must be recalled.

1.the vehicle leaks. I suspected it was the the sun roof as that would be the obvious choice. After completely cleaning and testing the drain lines. I now feel like this is the issue http://xkjeeps.com/tsb/tsb_xk_2305005.pdf. My vehicle has had about 3/4' of water in the floorboard and I have to keep 2 containers of damprid in the vehicle at all times to avoid having a mildew smell. Not to mention that it can't be good for the electronics that run around the base of the car. Considering that they have a repair sheet on it. I feel like they shouldn't charge their customers to repair anything. 2. Door handles. All of the door handles of the vehicle are broken except for the drivers side which clearly has a aftermarket fix on it. The cheap plastic used to mount them has cracked and now the door handles just hang. This is a safety issue. It potentially could trap people in the car. I have read about the issues all over the internet yet jeep is trying to make the customers pay $2000 for the door panel replacements. That is completely unacceptable.

Problems began 1 day after commander went in to dealer for the regular 3,000mile oil change, that car was returned to me after that oil change, as 'good to go'; w/in 24 hours of that oil change, the commander would not start and required a new starter (30k miles). After the starter was replaced, the commander was stalling if - in the middle of a slight incline it had to brake and then resume - at the resume it would stall. Also, after starter replaced dashboard lights blinking; transmission cooler lines leaking, power steering line from pump to cooler leaking, and front and back brake rotors had to be replaced (42k miles) 60k miles, the cruise control turns on by itself and the rear park assist turns off by itself; the water leak into front passenger well. Speaking with custom relations at chrysler corporate regarding cruise control, rear assist and water leak problems they told me that they were not aware of these being a problem for most commander customers; however, chrysler jeep is aware of these problems as evidenced by the technical service bulletins published on them yet chrysler jeep does not issue a recall/take fiscal responsibility for their manufacturer defects. More: chrysler jeep expects me to pay them to diagnose the problems so that then so long as I have paid a dealer to repair them they will consider (not necessarily approve; in the past they have in fact denied me reimbusement to fix these problems for which they have technical service bulletins on) refunding me total or partial cost of repairs. More: I was only informed of a safety recall regarding ebc module (brake) when I called in last week (12/2011) regarding the water leak & cruise control problem. Making this more poignant, the reason for this recall - that I was not notified about when it was first issued- is a brake issue that I had detailed to chrysler jeep in 2009!
