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.
First of all I love my Jeep Commander! It has everything a mom needs in a cool rugged vehicle. My only concern I have is now that it is getting cold (weather) I have noticed I get condensation inside my front windshield, and the defrost does not help get rid of it, so I have to get a towel and wipe my windows before I drive away. During warmer days, though I still get condensation but the defrost gets rid of that plus with a crack of the window to allow air come into the car? Am I the only one with this issue? Can leather seats cause this issue inside the vehicle?
