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.
What started as an air leak in the front window, which is annoying enough as it is loud when driving on freeway, has progressively gotten worse as the windshield now leaks water when washing the car. What started as a few drops of water is now a torrent of water that floods the passenger side. I no longer can wash the vehicle since I am afraid it will next cause an electrical problem, as the water drenches dash.
