Used 2009 Jeep Commander SUV Consumer Reviews
Look elsewhere
Drove this car for one week during west coast trip. Cannot recall that a car that was so unenjoyable to drive. First , the acceleration of the base V6 engine is very poor. Merges on the crowded California highways are just downright scary with a car that accelerates like an overloaded tractor trailer. 200 horsepower is inadequate for such a big SUV. Second, the car was not designed with visibility in mind. Without passengers, there are some large blind spots on both sides that make lane changes a harrowing experience. With passengers, you can forget about even being able to check if there are oncoming cars when you are looking to change lanes.
09 Commander
Very satisfied. Excellent four wheel drive system. Very powerful, smooth, and quite powertrain. Achieving slightly better mpg than EPA estimates.

Commander is a solid smooth riding Jeep
I love my ‘09 Commander (6 cylinder, 2WD) - i bought it new on August 1, 2009. Granted, I only have 95,000 miles, but have little trouble with it. I still have the original shocks/struts but chewed through two sets of Wranglers (I recommend switching to Michelin’s). I’ve had a few issues with ABS sensors and check engine lights related to that and some exhaust problems. Other than that, my only problem is a faulty front windshield wiper fluid reservoir which I gave up on fixing after paying twice to do so. ***Update 2/7/21*** The Commander is still driving strong. I need new struts and shocks but otherwise everything is solid. I have about 112,000 miles now. I normally only put about 8,000 miles a year on it, but during Covid, obviously, has been much less since I’ve been working from home.

My Commander
I luv my jeep. The ride is smooth n a joy to drive on long trips. The room is comfortable for a family of 3. The mpg could be better. If it could just get about 19-22 on a average would be great.
Not a real Jeep
Bought with 25 miles on the odometer. I come from a long line of JEEP lovers. Usually there is a lot of aftermarket support for JEEP except these fake Jeeps. I wanted a new JK 4 door but she wanted to seat 6+. So the Commander was it. At first she loved it as she only drives 16 miles to work and back 3 days. At only 1,400 miles the transmission seized and had to be fixed. We are at 10,000+ now. The back up warning and tire pressure monitor is constantly acting up and giving warning lights. I love it and hate it at the same time. The big boo boo is the IFS front suspension and the entire body is half plastic. I will stick with my 20 year old modified XJ at 200,000 miles, I can wheel it.
