“WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD @ 40 MPH & MY HORN STARTED SOUNDING NON STOP & KEPT DRAINING MY BATTERY. TURNS OUT IT IS A FAULTY CLOCK SPRING, & MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 51K. THE PART TO FIX IS RETAILED OVER $800 & YOU CANNOT GET AHOLD OF ONE BECAUSE THEY ARE ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER. WAS TOLD CHRYSLER WILL NOT DO A RECALL BECAUSE THIS VEHICLE IS OVER 10 YEARS OLD, BUT IT ONLY HAS 51K & THIS HAS BEEN RECALLED ON OTHER JEEP/CHRYSLER MODELS. SINCE IT IS HOOKED TO MY AIRBAG, THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE, BUT CHRYSLER DOES NOT SEE IT THAT WAY. WILL NEVER BY ANOTHER JEEP BECAUSE OF THIS.”

“THE DOOR HANDLES HAVE COMPLETELY DISENTEGRATED AN THE WINDOWS NO LONGER OPERATE. THE SEAT BELTS WORK INTERMITTENTLY AND THE DOOR LOCKS UNLOCK AN LOCK AT RANDOM. THE ENGINE STARTS AN STOPS ON IT'S OWN. THIS VEHICLE WAS MY DREAM VEHICLE BUT NOW I FEEL TOTALLY ENDANGERED BY THE LACK OF CARE AND DESIGN BY JEEP. I FEEL IT IS A TICKING TIME BOMB READY TO CAUSE DANGER AT SOME POINT TO ME OR MY FAMILY”

“I JUST PURCHASED THIS 2006 JEEP COMMANDER AND NOTICED AFTER PURCHASE THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. READ LATER THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. DID MANUFACTURER EVER PUT OUT A RECALL FOR THIS? IS THIS A SENSOR ISSUE?”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED WITHOUT WARNING. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 193,721.”

“I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I WAS IN TOWN TRAVELING ABOUT 30-35 MPH, THE CAR I WAS FOLLOWING SWITCHED LANES AND I HIT A CAR THAT WAS COMPLETELY STOPPED. THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT HAD BEEN GOING ON AND OFF FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS. I DIDN'T THINK TOO MUCH OF IT BECAUSE IT IS NOT THE ONLY WARNING LIGHT THAT SOMETIMES DOES THAT. I FIGURED THE ELECTRONICS PROBABLY DIDN;T LIKE ALL THE WATER THAT POURS INTO THE FRAME AND ONTO THE DRIVERS FLOOR.”
