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.
The design of the vehicle allows for air leaks around the windshield. We are on our 5th windshield. We take it back for adjustments and all they can do is add more extrusion in and around the suspected trouble spots until it stops leaking. Unfortunately, when the hot weather comes, the screaming is so bad that it drowns out the sound from the radio. Sick of this vehicle. Hate it!!!!!!
