CarComplaints.com Notes: Whenever a new product is introduced, there's bound to be some problems. And man oh man, does the 2006 Commander have some problems.
It's the plight of the 1st-generation adopter: you get the newest and shiniest in exchange for a handful of issues that get ironed out in future versions. But what happens when that handful of issues becomes a bucketload? The 2006 Commander has quality control issues like the door handles breaking off and the sunroof leaking. But what's truly worrisome is the electrical problems like the vehicle shutting down unexpectedly, gauges going crazy or the cruise control having a mind of its own.
Bottom line: if you want a Jeep Commander, you're better off looking at a later model year.

I have been having problems with my 2006 Jeep Commander stalling and the RPM idling..it continues to stall on me while driving on the freeway (70 mph) and on the surface roads. It has been at the cerritos Dodge dealership at least every two weeks since April 2011..they continue to fix something but tell me that car is fine and the next week it is back again. Even the service advisor told he that he didn't think I would ever put my kids in that Jeep again. I picked it up May 28th and was told that they cleaned the circuit board and that everything would be fine...needless to say, the Jeep is at the dealership again..they keep telling me that nothing is wrong with it, but yet, it stalled on me twice today. Once on the way home from work and on the way to the dealership...I keep asking Chrysler and Jeep Corp for help because this Jeep is dangerous and they refuse to help me because it is out of warranty. It has been at the dealership at least 5 times since April 8, 2011. Please help me, I have all the documentation to support my concerns...I have spent alot of money getting this Jeep repair and it still stalls....please help me, I am concerned about my family's safety.
