Jeep CEO Doesn't Respond
54 year old Wash, DC granny loves power and stares of Steel Blue Hemi. Nav screen is huge and awesome! But should work as a front DVD too. Open front doors during rain to exit, allows water to pour onto control panel. I fear what that's gonna cost. 3rd row seat is a joke - leaving no room for even 2 grocery bags. Overland is the elitist of Jeeps and should come standard with mud guard mats to protect carpet year round. Suede seats should be optional. 3rd row head rests are too BIG and block 85% of back window so I ran into a Toyota while backing into a handicap space. Front slide moon roof is too small compared to my 1989. Back moon windows should open. Rear DVD cover always falls off.
Design flaw
Leased a 2007 Jeep Commander in Clearwater, Florida. My Jeep developed a horrible leak. When it rains I get a standing puddle of water on the floor on the driver's side. Dealership said it's a maintenance issue and said it will be $100 to blow out a sunroof drain line because it's clogged with debris. I argued there is nothing in the owner's manual addressing this "maintenance" and pointed out that there are also several service bulletins issued by Chrysler addressing this issue. They said this is the customer's responsibility. No wonder Chrysler is in trouble.
Not happy with its reliability.... :-(
We owned a 1995 Jeep, we were so pleased with this Jeep we decided to purchase the Commander, without reading up on the reviews. Big mistake, we have been taking the jeep to the dealer because it accelerates at a stop. i feel it has a mind of its own. We also had a problem with the windshield the weather strip unglued and we had to pay for it. Its hard to see at the back window, has too many blind stops. Will be trading it in for a toyota sienna.
Death Trap
I have read up on reviews online and found that there are many people that are having trouble with their jeep stalling out while on a freeway or driving down a road. This has happened to me 4 times now going 70 mph. We are contacting a lawyer b/c we get nothing but the run around when contacting jeep. We have taken it in and they find nothing. What are we supposed to do? Just take our chances and hope not to stall while someone is tailgaiting on a freeway? I am putting my life at risk every time I get into that death trap. So what do I do..I still owe money so I would have to trade it in but HOW do I in good conscious trade in a car that has almost caused a accident?
Cute car, However, MPG IS RIDICULOUS!!
Exterior & Interior looks is nice :0) Seats are comfortable! TOO MUCH TIME AT THE GAS PUMP!! The second & third row seats are a little too high!! Passenger seat sits too low.
Worst Purchase ever!
First of all we have had issues with our Commander from the first week. When accelerating it sounds like it is going to blow up. There is a loud humming noise that comes from the dash when you reach 55-60 mph. Also, our Jeep is full of rust! All of the seat hardware components (including the headrest) are rusted. It looks as if this vehicle went through a hurricane.
I chose the 5.7L Hemi
I bought the Commander as the family shuttle, realizing its limitations in that regard; it is not a mini Van, so in that capacity it is just adequate. It is not just a suburban taxi, it wants to play. It is a 7 seat 4x4 SUV and as that, it stands out as you leave the road and hit the trails. On the roads the Hemi's power is effortless and always available. Inside it is very comfortable and my three kids (10, 9, and 6) love the stadium seating and the moonroof. It is quiet inside and the sound system is excellent.
TIRES
I bought the SUV in June 08 and I haven't had any problems with the vehicle yet. The gas mileage is horrible but the car drives wonderful. I ran over a large screw driver this weekend and I drove 15 miles with it in my tire because I couldn't pull it out. The guy at Tires Plus had a very hard time pulling the screw driver out of the tire. It took him about 15 minutes to get it out. When he finally got it out of the tire, it didn't need to be replace. He put the tire in the solution and there was no damage. Wow!!! I hope I have good luck with the rest of the car like I did with the tires. Also I wish the 3rd row could have a been more comfortable.
Mixed Feelings..!
Love Jeeps have own three over the years. The Commander is by far the most
poor making
i have bought this car from jeep dealer and was told i get about 10 to 14 a gallon first 2 weeks i got about that then on display i seen at first 250 miles to empty now on a full tank 17 gallons i see 151 miles to a gallon and doing 65 on highway i get 11 miles to a gallon and dealers say thats about right [non-permissible content removed].
Oh No!
It's going to be a year since I bought this Jeep. Not dependable at all..do not take this Jeep off road..will get stuck..ice,snow have to be careful since the 4x4 will auto turn on and it does not work at all. Has blind spots, plastic plastic everywhere, the visor was not planned we'll you can't see the road. Windshield the worst thing ever I'm scared that thing will bust, I can go on. Last night I almost hit a huge moose. I had my little one with me, I slammed my breaks and turned my wheel to avoid hitting this huge animal. The car did not stop on contact my car slid sideways, I was shocked this car did not stop. This is a 4x4 and did not act like it..the seat belts worked, wow
Command of the Commander
I bought my Commander yesterday and I absolutely love it!! I have the 4.7L flex-fuel V8 Sport package. The cloth interior is very comfortable and the layout and ergonomics are awesome! So far, I've averaged about 15.7 mpg in mostly city driving. Pretty good for a big SUV. This is one sweet ride!!
Bad gas milage but great car
The car is a great looking car and has all of the interior features I would need. It would be great if it had more power but the power it has is enough to get you around. The gas mileage averages about 13.5 miles per gallon but other than that it is an excellent car. The only problems that I have had with the car were that one of the tire pressure sensors was messed up but that was covered by warranty so it was no big deal.
I love my Jeep!
I purchased my Commander a month ago and I love it! I had also considered the Patriot, Chevy Equinox and Ford Escape, and am glad that I chose the bigger SUV. I recently took a 1400 mile trip and it rode great on the highway and I felt very comfortable and safe. The gas mileage was decent considering how big this car really is, I am averaging 16-18 city and 19- 21 highway. The only problem so far is the CD player which first wouldn't take in a CD, and now it does but reads "Error." Overall, I love the ride, looks, and it goes through snow like nothing!
Chevy Lover Falls 4 A Jeep
I've had Chevy's almost all my driving life and I was persuaded to try out a Jeep and I fell in love with it. I have had no issues with it mechanically and the gas mileage is about the same as my Trailblazers.
A Best Buy For My Family
My wife and I looked and looked and looked for a SUV that fit us and our 3 kids without the size of a suburban. We absolutely love this jeep. The gas mileage isn't great but it is fun to drive, it seats seven, and its very comfortable. We went with the V6 because there wasn't a need to pull anything, but it still offers plenty of power and get up. I am confident that it could pull a ski boat and 7 passengers with no problems.
stalling?
i love my jeep. we bought it a month before the birth of our first child and i have not had any problems until recently, when you go from reverse to drive the engine light comes on and it says service park assist system and then all the gear letters light up and it "bucks" a little. it has also happened at highway speeds. has anyone else had a problem like this?
Love IT
I got this thing with 6 miles on it. Last night when I put inside for the night. had 61,000 miles. I have only Changed the oil every 2500 miles. I have 4 Kids . My only prob is the sun roof and rain. Other than that not one prob.
Fun fun fun
I finally got a Jeep and I am so glad I did. I got the base model awd, but it has really come in handy with the snow. I love the large windows, adjustable seat. I love the outside desgin, and the adjustable driver's seat makes you feel like you could go right out the roof it seats so high. I have read that some drivers say the seat is not comfortable, it is only not comfortable if you sit too high. The stereo system is great. A stylish, comfortable vehicle that is a pleasure to drive and ride in. Oh, I got rear ended by a Subaru, totalled the Subaru, and I have to point to point out the dent on my car or nobody even notices it. The funny thing is, I was going to buy a Subaru.
Great fun!
If you want to drive something fun and different--here you go. The Commander rides nicely in the city and can take on the outdoors. Great towing capacity. Great fun!
Just joined "It's a Jeep Thing" club!
Just bought this for my wife/family vehicle. It's our first SUV and first Jeep and so far we love it! Totally comfortable inside, plenty of room for 15 year old, 4 year old, and 1 year old with room to spare for napping on long trips. Cargo area is very ample for the twice a month grocery run and hardware store supplies. Never thought I would own a Jeep but so far we are having fun with it.
2nd Jeep......First Commander
This is our 2nd Jeep. We traded our '05 Liberty for this. The "Overland" rocks. We love it. It rides much nicer than the 2wd Liberty we had. Very quiet at highway speeds. Easy to get above 80 and not realize it. The Hemi is smooth and effortless. Mileage is lousy...but hey, it is a Hemi, we are expecting that. Kids love the skylights. Plenty of room for 2kids, dog and camping gear. Looking foward to CampJeep in VA this summer. We love our new Commander Overland.
Lovin it
I love this Jeep. I have owned various 3 row vehicles. I owned an MPV and then an Excursion. This fits the bill in lots of ways and I find the external design to be very fun.
Commander
I have owned it a couple of weeks and I love it. The only drawbacks are gas and the rear view window. The rear view is mostly covered up by the 3rd row seat. But overall I love this SUV. I switched from my mid-size Camry and so far I think I did a great choice.
Always getting compliments
The last 20 years I've been driving minivans and sedans for work. I finally decided I needed something a little more fun. 5.7L Hemi is powerful. Handling on mountain roads is great. Feels, looks and sounds like a luxury car inside. Everywhere I go, people rave about it's looks. As it turns out, the Commander is great fun.
New Car
Great new SUV. The 3.7 is a perfect choice and the 4.7 doesn't seem to perform any better. A lot of options with the Rocky Mountain package.
Great ride!
Purchased this due to the 3rd row, as that was the main factor in buying it. I absolutely love the car, it rides amazing (we don't do any offroading) and I feel 100% safe with my family and my 2 year old son, with the side airbags. But with the 2nd row having a small amount of leg room, there's barely enough room for his car seat, I don't know how he'll fit in it in a another year while still in his car seat. Also, wish it was a bit lower to the ground. Stadium seating is great, but takes away a few inches of cargo room.
Great Car, Poor Fuel Economy
I have owned this now for three months and love the sportiness. However, the estimate of 16/22 mpg is way, way off base. I average 10-12 mpg. city and recently took a trip and averaged 13- 14 mpg highway! Not sure yet if this is worth the upsides of the vehicle. Only other complaint is no cargo nets when hauling groceries in back...stuff rolls out of gate when opened. Third row does block rear view and very little leg room when used. Fine for every day but not as comfortable and roomy for long trips.
Awesome Jeep
My wife and I love our new Commander. Fun to drive, great road visibility, quiet ride, very comfortable seating all around. The 3.7 V6 delivers plenty of power, and is very responsive with its electronic control fuel injection.
I like it.
Driver seat moves to where I can get comfortable. Good engine power, reasonable economy for V8 SUV. Transmission shifts crisp, automatic 2 speed transfer case is very quiet and works properly. I had reviewed and considered Ford Explorer, Expedition, Dodge Durango, Chrysler Aspen, GMC Envoy and Chevy Trailblazer. There were 2 warranty problems from the get go: E-brake was not connected from the factory and there is tick noise in front axle dealer is having trouble finding. Other than that I like the vehicle. It fits our needs with style. Mine actually was not a Limited edition but it was the only style I could select to complete tis review. Mine was a Sport edition with the 4.7L engine.
Love it!
I was worried the 3.7L engine would not have enough power but it is adequate. I have 2 children in car seats and an 8yr old and there is plenty of room. We are talking large Britax car seats and I was still able to pack my 3 kids and my friends 2 elementary aged children in the Jeep including her with no problems. I love my Jeep, I wouldn't trade it for any other vehicle out there! The stereo is great for not going with the upgraded system and the rear ac/heater and reverse sensing are wonderful.
Great Jeep
Had the Commander just over 3 weeks. So far, love it. We had to have a 3rd row seat and 4x4.Considered other larger SUV's (Tahoe, Yukon, Escalade, etc.) Found this one used with low miles for a great price. The only thing it didnt have was a DVD system and a hitch. The dealer added those items plus tinted the windows for no cost. That was the seller for us.
Outdoor Family Wagon
Wonderful SUV with lots of room, off road rides really good, make sure you keep the maint on this car, the only thing is that why would Jeep build a Jeep that you couldn't put a lift on?
great suv
This has been even better than i expected - I recommend this Hemi to anyone looking for luxury. I sold a MBZ m class - this is even better.
Learning to love your vehicle
I traded my Chrysler Pacifica for the Commander. I loved the way it drove and handled and was looking to only upgrade. Once I drove the Commander it was surprisingly pleasant and I liked the sporty look. People often mistaken my "P" for a van which I hated. What I don't like is the 3rd row seat (for kids or small adults but ok), it blocks visibility when head rests are up, passenger seat sits to low, very hard to see stop light when stopped, rain collects at driver door, need better cup holders in 2nd row, and air vents make noise when opening to defrost. Gas mileage could be better. Thank God I live 5-10 miles from work and my daughters school. I miss the "P" but beginning to love my "C"!
whistling commander
Love the commander, comfort is great. 700 mile trip very comfortable. Wind noise(whistling) on passenger side that NO ONE can hear but us and anyone that rides with us( how funny is that) Service says there are not service advisories on it (why not? Jeep forum is FULL of complaints.) The service department thinks we are crazy. Lately it only happens once in a while. but changes in temps will be happening very soon here in LA. We shall see.
Raining in my jeep
My sister and I both have the 2007 commander. Mine has 38,000 miles and the sunroof and windshield are leaking. The water shorted out the radio. Windshield has been repaired 2 times. My sister's has leaked since day 1. I liked the jeep until it started flooding. Rides good. Don't like the second row stadium seating. Cannot see out the back window with 3rd row up. I am past the warranty, so I am riding in a flooded car with no stereo. The cost for repair is $900.
Leaks water
Nice car, fun to drive, rough mileage is expected. Main issue is quality control on some models. My Rocky Mountain Edition leaks whenever it rains - fills drivers side foot wells. Has been in three times and not fixed. its a design flaw that needs to be fixed.
Value and Performance for the Hemi
I traded in my Expedition on the Hemi as my teenagers are working their way out of the house (the third seat in the Ford was no longer really needed) and I wanted a smaller vehicle. I still needed a high tow capacity truck and the "if you need it, it is there" third seat. In short, the vehicle was a great buy with the rebate and had quite a few features that my Expedition did not have. Lots complain about gas mileage: I get 17.2 hwy (better than the Ford). The ride and comfort are better than the Expedition. It is also quieter. The interior needs some refinement - fit & finish is good but style could be improved to give it a higher end feel (it is slightly tacky IMO).
Commander
We bought our Commander late one afternoon. It had a cool look to it and a third row seat. Which needs to be ditched..you can't see out the back window but through an 11x14 space. The main thing that I hate about the car is the canvas seats that, we were told were stain resistant and water resistant..wrong! My seats are horrible looking and I now have camo seat covers on the back seats because I am embarrassed for the way they look. The windshield whistles when you get past 60 mph. There is no leg room in the front. If I turn the corner hard enough the tires screech. It's been in the shop 2x for power steering failure, in the middle of driving, 6 more months on our lease, PTL.
Not a family car
