Jeep Commander — reported problems

What owners report: issue areas

Owner complaints are classified by the system they concern: 7,842 classifications in all. One complaint can concern several systems, so these add up to more than the number of complaints.

• Electrical system2,616 (33.4%)Official recall records for this system: 9, covering model years 2006–2010.
• Engine1,570 (20.0%)Official recall records for this system: 2, covering model years 2006–2008.
• Powertrain (transmission & drivetrain)954 (12.2%)Official recall records for this system: 3, covering model years 2006–2010.
• Body & structure448 (5.7%)
• Speed control & accelerator262 (3.3%)
• Brakes234 (3.0%)Official recall records for this system: 11, covering model years 2006–2010.

Other / uncategorized: 282 classifications (3.6%) were not assigned to a specific system by the source. They are counted but not treated as an issue area.

These are counts of records held by CarFaultIQ, not a failure rate. More records can simply mean more vehicles were sold or more owners reported. No vehicles-in-service figure exists in this data, so no reliability or risk score can be derived from it.

What the records are about, by source

Each source is kept separate: owner complaints, recalls, manufacturer communications and investigations are different kinds of record and are never added together. All model years.

• Owner complaints (5,494 records, model years 2006–2010) are most frequently classified under: electrical system, engine and powertrain (transmission & drivetrain).
• Manufacturer communications (390 records, model years 2006–2010) are most frequently classified under: electrical system, engine and equipment & accessories.

"Most frequently classified under" reports how the records are filed by the source. It is not a finding about causes, and a record can be filed under more than one system. Read the individual records

Mileage reported when the issue occurred

• 4,160reports included a mileage
• 78,706average of those mileages

This is the mileage owners recorded at the time they reported, not an expected failure mileage and not a prediction for any individual vehicle. The lowest and highest figures on record are not shown: they are unverified odometer entries that include zeros and implausibly high readings, so they would not describe a real range. A median is not shown either, because the stored figures are group totals and a median cannot be recovered from them.

Evidence by model year

Records held per model year. Select a year to narrow this page to it.

1. 2006 1,715 records for 2006 1,715
2. 2007 776 records for 2007 776
3. 2008 392 records for 2008 392
4. 2009 102 records for 2009 102
5. 2010 105 records for 2010 105

Counts are not adjusted for how many vehicles were sold in each year, so a taller year is not necessarily a worse year.

A code appearing in a record means the code was named in that document. It is not a diagnosis of this vehicle, not a fault this vehicle has, and not an indication of urgency. Diagnosis requires reading live data from the vehicle.
