| Pros: What do you like about 2006 Jeep Commander?
Power, performance, superb traction on snow, ice, mud, rocks-you decide where to go, it gets you there & back in style & comfort. They've outdone themselves with the Commander's performance. Cons: How would you improve 2006 Jeep Commander?
3rd row seats are good for kids or 1 adult, eventually I'll remove them & make room for more golf clubs. I'm a pilot, can we put some wings & a turbo prop on this? 2006 Jeep Commander Review:
Rides like a luxury sedan on Pa. roads. Handles superbly and confidently with ample feedback to let you know when you're pushing the envelope. Does a fantastic job in the deep snow & icy roads, with the ELSD's & traction control you have to try real hard to spin the wheels. Couple that with the ESP and you have the most sure footed Jeep on the road today. The Commander isn't intimidated one bit when taken off road & will take you anywhere you equip it to go. The Hemi does a good job for the MPG it serves up, using 89 octane will get you a slight increase in performance & MPG while maintaining the same fuel cost per mile. The equation is simple enough, pony up for the increased cost of a good mid grade fuel, you'll go further on a tank, cost per mile remains the same. I've found BP, Hess & Sunoco give me the best results. A lot of thought went into the front driver & passenger compartment. The 8 way adjustable seat & sound insulated interior quell any fatigue normally encountered on long road trips. The seats are the most comfortable I've ever driven in. The instrument panel is designed in a way that all controls can be easily reached without taking your eyes off the road to look for any of them. I enjoy the many compliments I get from passengers along for the ride both on & off road. Performance, comfort & good old Jeep Guts, I am truly impressed by this machine. I own & operate an auto & light truck repair shop so we see a lot come through here, I've owned "Rovers" & they have nothing on a Jeep Commander (5.7 equipped) except higher operating costs & less reliability. I hear rumors that 09 will be the last year for Commanders, that would be a huge mistake in my opinion. Some better marketing is defiantly needed. With the Hemi package this is the ultimate SUV. It's a Jeep thing, move over Rover. |

It's a Jeep! Cons: How would you improve 2006 Jeep Commander?
Transmission issues. Stalls every time I back out of the garage and put into gear. Now with 46K miles it's in the shop for a major transmission issue. I previously owned a Wrangler which I loved. After the transmission problems with this car I don't think I will ever buy another Jeep. |

I love the wear the car looks and drives. I love all the extra's inside-navigation system, sunroof's, leather interior, CD changer, DVD system. Cons: How would you improve 2006 Jeep Commander?
Have a windshield that doesn't crack or chip with each grain of sand (or rocks). We have owned our Commander for 9 months, and have had 2 rock chips (repaired) and now have 4 separate cracks in the windshield that all originated below the windshield wiper. There seems to be some kind of design flaw with the windshield. I have talked to several others that have had to replace their windshield and have had repeated trouble with this. Are there any others out there with similar problems? Also, the blind spot when using the 3rd row seating is pretty bad. This doesn't seem to be a safe thing. 2006 Jeep Commander Review:
I love the car, but am not interested in having to replace the windshield every 6 months or so because the windshield is too flat and doesn't have enough slope. We have never owned a car that we have ever had windshield problems like we have with this one. Also, the blind spot in the back is pretty bad. When backing up with all 3 seats up, you are taking your chances on whether or not you back into something. |

Not happy with my Jeep at all because of the stalling issue. Wish that I had done my homework before purchasing this death trap because I would not have purchased it if I knew what I now know about it! Cons: How would you improve 2006 Jeep Commander?

| Pros: What do you like about 2006 Jeep Commander?
I like the style and the interior although blind spot when the third row seats are up. I really like everything about the Jeep Commander but I am VERY DISAPPOINTED that after only owning my Jeep for three days I have been experience stalling which is very scary. In fact it is presently at the dealers because it has stalled about five times and no one seems to know how to fix this dangerous problem. I will never buy another Jeep of any kind ever aain! Will probably have to give this one back because it is just not safe to put on the roads. Cons: How would you improve 2006 Jeep Commander?
if it would just run without stalling! |

Better gas mileage,more room in 3rd row seating and cargo space,fix stalling issue,huge blind spot and difficult to see behind 3rd row seats. 2006 Jeep Commander Review:
This is nice if you only occasionally use the 3rd of seats.I have to keep mine folded down so I have room for groceries and so I can see out the back.Chrysler needs to admit there is a problem with the engine stalling and issue a recall (so far only a recall on the 2008 for the same problem). |

great vehicle; handles awesomely, i'm in outside sales and i drive all day long; i enjoy driving it as long as i don't need to fill up. it can suck down some fuel. the only other downside is when you put the 3rd seat up it's really hard to see out the back glass. it's a very comfortable ride, looks great on the outside and inside. i love my jeep |

fix the leak that causes the drivers floor to get drenched 2006 Jeep Commander Review:
I have the 4.7 ltr unit, and I love the comfort. I also love the power it gives me when needed. I pull an enclosed 10 X 6 enclosed trailer with a full dress Harley inside and when on a long trip it does the job plus. One of the things that does bug me is the cloth fabric. If you get a stain it just does'nt want to come out,....even with Scotch guard on it, so I had to put seat cover on them up front, and as I meantioned the leak that for some reason run down onto the drivers side floor. I've had to take her in twice for the same thing. The only other thing is the passenger side window up front tends to only go up when it feels like it sometimes. It goes half way up and then back down 2-3 times before it does what it needs to do. This will be the 2nd time I've had to take her in for the same problems. |

I like sitting in the driver's seat and I like all the storage spots. Cons: How would you improve 2006 Jeep Commander?
I would improve the pick up, blind spots and rear-seat headrests. 2006 Jeep Commander Review:
I am very unhappy with my Commander. Child safety seats can not be installed properly anywhere in the second row seat, expect the center spot. The center spot is not an ideal location for many reasons including the A/C vents directly face the center seat and having a safety seat in the center obstructs the driver's rear view. I do not recommend this vehicle for anyone who needs child safety seats. |

4. Smooth power of V8 4.7
(I tested a 5.7 Hemi and loved the power, but 4.7 was more than adequate for my needs.)
5. Quad track 4 II wheel drive . Cons: How would you improve 2006 Jeep Commander?
An option to get rid of the 3rd row seats and have a deeper storage space in rear. 2006 Jeep Commander Review:
I have a 2007 Commander and I'm thrilled with it. I've driven off-road and the commander handled every hill and surface (red-clay, dirt) with sure footed ease. I love the old Cherokee body style. Lots of head room. I find the ground clearance level adequate. Driving this is a pleasure. This is the best riding and handling. AC system is best I've ever felt, and I live in the south where it is extremel hot 5 months a year.
I love the Boston Acoustic sound system. I'm a long-time Boston speaker fan. For me, Sirius satellite is the only way to go. I'm very happy with this Jeep. |
