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 love my Jeep Commander 2006, but the front shocks sounds and feel horrible. I am the third owner of this vehicle and it does feel the previous owners abused the shocks...if I drive towards a dip I almost stop completely to drive over afraid of causing more damage. I did look up the recall, but I was told there were 44 vehicles with the shock issues and were all treated/fixed. How much would this cost or is it even worth fixing?
