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.
Anything Chrysler is a bad idea. Exhaust manifold, absolutely terrible gas mileage, door handles had to be replaced because of the Chrysler plastic choice problem ( like dodge dash...).
Update from Feb 29, 2016: Oh yeah and the door locks didn't work so I had to find, ( took a month) and replace the under the dash fuse box relay junction which is about $200. and not made anymore, so have to find used.
