Exactly what failed

NHTSA files every complaint against a named sub-assembly, not just a system. This is the difference between knowing it was "the engine" and knowing which part of it — the list to hand a mechanic.

Engine 12 27.9%
Body 7 16.3%
Automatic Transmission 6 14.0%
Door 5 11.6%
Latch 4 9.3%
Windshield 4 9.3%

Software 2 4.7%

When it fails

Odometer readings owners gave when they filed. About half of all complaints include one.

When owners complained

A spike years after the car went on sale usually means a part wearing out on schedule across the whole fleet — the kind of pattern no single owner can see from inside their own car.

NHTSA investigations into the 2006 Jeep Commander 4X2

An investigation is the step before a recall: the agency has seen enough complaints to look into a pattern itself. An open one means it thinks something may be wrong and nothing has been fixed yet.

Air Bag Non-deployment

Chrysler is conducting a safety recall of approximately 643,618 model year 2006-2007 Jeep Commander and model year 2005-2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles to address the problem of ignition turning off while driving (see NHTSA recall 14V-438 for more information).According to Chrysler, these vehicles may experience an unintended change in ignition switch position while driving, which may result in loss of engine power, power steering, and braking assist, increasing the risk of a crash and disabling one or more of the vehicle's safety features including the frontal air bags.Most of the reported...

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

DURING SEPT. '06, I INFORMED CHRYSLER AND A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP OF A SAFETY DEFECT--STALLING IN TRAFFIC--WITH MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER LIMITED . FROM SEPT. '06 TO DEC. '07, I MADE SEVERAL PHONE CALLS AND WROTE SEVERAL LETTERS TO CHRYSLER (VIA ITS REGISTERED AGENT) CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM. ALL OF MY LETTERS WERE IGNORED. FROM SEPT. '06 TO DEC. '07, CHRYSLER REQUIRED ME TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP CONCERNING THE STALLING PROBLEM, EVEN THOUGH CHRYSLER'S EMPLOYEES KNEW A TASK FORCE HAD BEEN FORMED TO DEAL WITH THE PROBLEM. IN LATE DEC. '07, I DISCOVERED AN INTERNET ARTICLE ENTITLED "JEEP STALLING PROBLEM" AND FAXED THE ARTICLE TO CHRYSLER. ACCORDING TO THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS ARTICLE, MANY CUSTOMERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE 2006 JEEP COMMANDER LIMITED, AND EVEN CHRYSLER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE. AS A RESULT OF GAINING ACCESS TO THIS ARTICLE, I WAS ABLE TO CHALLENGE CHRYSLER'S DISHONEST ASSERTION THAT MY PROBLEM WAS UNIQUE AND THAT NO OTHER CONSUMER HAD COMPLAINED OF THIS PROBLEM. THEREFORE, IN JAN. '08, A CHRYSLER MANAGER PHONED ME INDICATING THAT CHRYSLER HAD AGREED TO BUY BACK MY VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE STALLING PROBLEM AND A RESULTING AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT (SEPT. '07)(NOTE:THIS ACCIDENT OCCURRED ONE YEAR AFTER CHRYSLER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE SAFETY ISSUE). I WAS TOLD A REPRESENTATIVE OF IMPARTIAL SERVICES GROUP (ISG) WOULD GIVE ME A CALL CONCERNING DETAILS OF THE BUY BACK. I RECEIVED A CALL FROM ISG; HOWEVER, IT IS CLEAR THAT THIS COMPANY WORKS ON BEHALF OF CHRYSLER. AS A RESULT, I AM STILL DRIVING AN UNSAFE VEHICLE AND HAVE ALMOST BEEN INVOLVED IN THREE ACCIDENTS WITHIN THE PAST TWO WEEKS. CHRYSLER HAS IGNORED MY REQUEST FOR A RENTAL CAR UNTIL A BUY BACK AGREEMENT IS REACHED. I RECENTLY NOTIFIED CHRYSLER'S INVESTORS--CERBERUS AND DAIMLER--OF MY EXPERIENCE.
