Suddenly out of nowhere my 2006 jeep commander v6 just start jerking and driving very poorly. It only stays in third gear and the mil light indicator is on. It also jerks and seems like there's issues with the transmission. I've read online hundreds of users posting the same issue but there is no recall on the vehicle yet. This is very irritating and this could've easily caused an accident. I do not ever plan on purchasing an american made vehicle ever again. The jeep dealer will not address this issue. This is unacceptable. I still have the issue.

Jeep commander gets hard jolt, as if being hit from behind, and engine "dies". No lights on dash, just won't go. Engine doesn't rev. Tach at 0 regardless of amount of accelerator. You can put it in park and it will start again. This has happened on several occasions, I have had it in the shop on numerous occasions, always with the report of nothing is showing on the computer report. I have spent over $1000 on various fuel systems services, tune ups, etc which they say may be the problem, but it is still stalling. Dealer says that the problem can't be replicated. With all these reports, and the obvious danger of an unexpected stall this is life threatening and needs to be recalled.

I'm a owner of a 2006 jeep commander limited and starting to become frustrated and scared to drive this beautiful car. The problem is that the car stalls out (looses power, electrical, power brakes/ steering, everything) when slowing down at a red light, stop sign, parking spot, etc. I have contacted the dealer and several repair shops concerning this problem and they all tell me that they have no idea what it could be and there are no recalls on the issue. Just wanted to see what if anything you suggest for me to do as this I not the first time this has happened and probably not the last. Thanks

My check engine light came on in my 2006 jeep commander this is a common problem code 0700 failure of transaxle control module it was a recall for the 4.7 but not the 3.7 it can be lifethreatning for your truck to hesitate while you are merging into traffic something needs to be done.
Had cruise control set to 65 MPH on the freeway. Out of nowhere the car began accelerating on its own to reaching speeds of 85 MPH. If cruise control is turned on now it accelerates on its own and I ma not able to control the speed at all. Have taken car to dealership but they say nothing is wrong. Front windshield leaks and lets in too much air. I should not have to pay for repairs since it is a defect. Driver side window does not go down. Now rear passenger side window is starting to get stuck. Have replaced driver side switch and the problem still exists. Front passenger window goes down but the driver side which has controls to all the windows does not work for any of the windows. My car accelerates on its own on a daily basis. It can go from 35 MPH to uncontrollable speeds. Taken to dealership several times but they never find the problems. Dealership cant even figure out what is wrong with the electrical windows.
Leased a 2006 chrsyler jeep commander brand new off the car lot to experience stalling multiple times approximately 2-3 months from the beginning of my lease. Stalling occurred over 12x. I took the car in for servicing more than 4 times to be told that the car's computer was not registering the problem. Then, I filed under the florida state lemon law to receive not action. Presently, I have been in litigation vs. Chrysler, under the warranty act, since to no avail.
