Used 2006 Jeep Commander Limited 4dr SUV 4WD (4.7L 8cyl 5A) Consumer Reviews
8x jeep, love it!
My husband and I are on our 8th jeep and I couldn't wait to get the Commander. Trail rated, reliable, large size. I am a total loss adjuster and auto damage adjuster so I work around cars all day long. Wouldn't trade my Jeep for any other SUV. **For 2006-sk.canada...sounds like you got a lemon or someone didn't take care of their vehicle, do some additional research on the vehicle's history and mechanical records from the previous owner if available. The Tahoe has a history of issues ,problems and recalls..do your research.
Comfort Jeep
Best vehicle I have had. I have owned Jeeps since the 50's. This one beat them all. Comfort, goes anywhere, anytime in comfort. No issues with any mechanical items. Did the maintenance on the scheduled recommended for warranty. Bought extended warranty after the 5 years ran out. Never used it. Some maintenance was pricey but the vehicle has never failed me. Even when the battery is getting low it let me know by slow cranking. The Jeep is 12 years old looks new, has had three batteries, and three sets of tires. It is a Hemi, with the 8,6,4 cylinder running feature. On the road, I can get 24+ mpg. Around town it is 11 or 12. But I am a jack rabbit at stop lights...some of the lack of mileage is my fault. I am now 77 years old and do not plan to buy another vehicle. This one will go out with me. The vehicle has only 55K miles. 20K of which was very long trips. One to Panama, and two through Canada almost to Alaska. Performance with a lot of weight in back with all seats down did not seem to effect mileage or handling. Zero mechanical issues except for some wear in the driver position.

4x4 sculpter outside my home
first of all I am a true Jeep fan and have owned almost nothing but jeeps. However this time Jeep has left me beyond disappointed with the 2006 commander. I bought mine in 2005 and at first it was incredible to drive and looked great. My Jeep still looks great but the problem is 75% of the time it just wont start. Its a good looking, paid for, sitting sculpture outside my house!! The transmission has been replaced once, the fuel pump has been replaced twice and the battery has been replaced 3 times and still no luck on finding the cause on why this great looking truck wont start. in this last year it has sat 90% of the year outside my house because everytime I get it towed to a shop and drop a significant amount of money to get it fixed it always comes back home to not start again. It seems a lot of people are having the same problems with these trucks and I have yet to find someone with the remedy to this problem so yeah. I have a 1994 grand Cherokee limited with so many miles people have to look twice and its starts and runs with no problem, my 2006 commander with very little mileage for its age doesn't start 75% of the time so yeah extremely disappointed this time around with my jeep purchase and its a shame because I really do like the style and comfort of it .

Love our Commander!!!!
We purchased our 2006 Jeep Commander Limited with the V8 Hemi and Quadradrive II 3 years ago. We purchased it from a dealer as a one-owner vehicle with only about 45k miles on it at the time we purchased it (we are currently at about 110k). It was in mint condition inside and out, so we just had to have it. In the 3 years that we have owned our Commander, other than the routine maintenance, we have not had one single problem with this vehicle. My husband drives it to and from work daily, which is about an hour commute each way, and it has been an absolute dream SUV. This is the smoothest, most comfortable riding vehicle we have ever owned. Living in New England, we need a vehicle that handles well in the snow and this Jeep does not disappoint. It will go just about anywhere with ease! We have never once gotten stuck or lost control on slippery roads. We always feel very safe in this vehicle. Even our friends and family have commented that our Commander is one of the most comfortable vehicles that they have ever ridden in. The front heated leather seats are amazing on those cold winter days and the Boston Acoustics premium sound system sounds amazing! Our Commander has the premium entertainment package with the 6-disc CD changer, Sirius/XM satellite radio, and the backseat DVD player, which is nice bonus. We truly are in love with this vehicle and we wouldn't hesitate to purchase another Commander in the future. It's a real shame that Jeep stopped making them. They sure don't make them like this anymore.

5.7 L HEMI... Not listed hmmm
I bought this car with the 5.7 L HEMI and it has been amazing! I have had no problems. The only things with 129,500 mi on it was i had to replace the headlights, transmission hose, really just wear and tear things that would happen on any vehicle any time. This has been a very reliable truck for me. Gas mileage could be much better, it is a jeep so i knew what i was getting into. The interior is nice and nothing has ever broke on me or had to replace anything. I am very happy with my truck and would buy another but nothing lower than my 5.7 as this thing can get going fast when i want it to and has handled everything. I have taken this think off roading and it is a champ through mud, water, snow, rain, anything.
