Day 1 Feb. 17, 2006: I drove it home and noticed it was smoking, and I was losing oil. It turned out the problem was caused at plant during assembly; some of the valve-cover gasket screws were left out causing the oil to seep from the engine and onto the exhaust and undercarriage. May 26, 2006 I drove from NNJ to VA Beach for Memorial Day weekend; there was hesitation on acceleration, and periods of rough idle. On the way back I started to hear a whistle type of sound like wind noise in the cabin; it only sounds while vehicle. is in motion, even though all windows, doors, and sunroof were shut tight. Today June 15, 2006 with only 2,500 another problem! Drivetrain thumping noise.

Well where do I start... OK when I pull up to a stop light I should not have to lean forward to see the light; when I have a passenger, he/she can not get into the glove dept: your sun roof water ports get clogged and leak to the floor board, REALLY: why would you only put on map holder behind the driver seat and not one on the passenger side: the off road handle why put it way from the seat, the sun blinds totally useless for the side use: navigation completely non user friendly, the updates are $300 for a disk: cup holders for the back seat with 3 passengers total count ZERO! fold down seat for access to rear seats only a kid can get in and out. then all the common problems that come with the commander. why send such a p.o.c. car out I will never again buy a JEEP I will tell everyone see NOT to BUY a JEEP !!!!

We made mistake and bought this car in used in 2006 at the base model. Right know it has 186,000 miles on it and is a piece of crap. About a couple of months ago we were driving from the veterinarians office and their was a big boom and it would go into all of the gears but, when we put it into drive and press the gas it would just roll back and start making these popping and cracking noises. So we got it towed and the mechanic said it was the drive shaft and to fix it would cost $500. So we got it fixed and now we are trying to buy a sequoia, but it has to get fixed first. Anyway it is great in the snow, and amazing going off road. Now it’s the end of August we bought the sequoia back in February and we love it. The is just sitting in our back yard and we use it for moving dirt in our trailer, and moving our camper around the house. We were going to sell it but we think now is not the right time.

Like my truck but now I hit 50K miles on my 06 Commander and here come the problems. It is all electrical. It will shut off all dash lights make a lot pop and come back on. took it to the dealership and they can't find anything wrong. Then the way home from the dealership it happens twice. But the dealership said everything is fine... Yeah right!
