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.
Due to heavy rain, there's constant leakage. Any type of rainy weather will cause flooding in the driver's and passenger's flooring. It makes the car smells moldy and mildew constantly. I have to get interior cleaning which gets expensive after awhile. It get seriously annoying.
After walking out to my car to find water in the driver side floor I looked up the issue on the internet. I found out that there several videos on Youtube where individuals show you how to resolve the issue.
The issue is the result of the drain tubes collapsing at the end or the ends getting clogged with debris. You can following the guys in the video and pull the molding away from the door jab (front) and pull the drain tube out and trim off the end that is getting blocked. It's a simple fix but what sucks is coming out to your car in Florida and finding an inch of water in the floor.
Every single time it rains heavily, the floor board on the passenger side fills up with water! Every single time! And it takes days for it to dry out once it stops raining. Jeep is the worst car dealership to buy from! They never own the problem. There are other Jeep Commander owners dealing with this same issue, because I have talked to them! And not only the flooding, but broken door handles, and the jeep just cutting off without warning! Jeep is the biggest ripoff that you can buy from! I will never buy another vehicle from them ever again! They can't tell me Sh*t!
