TERRIBLE - DEATH TRAP |
|
Date: Sep 16, 2009
|
|
Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Houston) |
|
Vehicle: 2007 Jeep Commander |
|
Summary:
I agree with the previous poster. My 2007 commander has completely died on my while going over 70 mph, this has happened about 3 times. We have taken it to the dealership and they say "we can't find anything". The engine also revs up while sitting at a light and I agree it is very scary. Now it is at 37K miles and it did it again to me this morning, died going 70mph on the middle lane of the freeway. Truly a terrifying experience! I bet when we take it in this time they will find all kinds of things wrong with it now that it is out of warranty. We found that this has happened to many people so we are looking into what we can do. I don't even want to get back in it to drive home.
Strengths:
It started out a great vehicle and I now have nothing good to add.
Weaknesses:
Completely dying in traffic going 70 mph. Third row seats leave extremely low visibility out the back. Rain water collecting in the door. Rain water leaking inside the car.

Terrible Engineering |
|
Date: Jul 29, 2009

Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Middletown, RI) |
|
Vehicle: 2007 Jeep Commander |
|
Summary:
I see why the American Car Industry is failing. The Jeep Commander engineers should sell these cars to the terrorists as they are a certain death trap!!! I haven't even got to 40k miles! First the transmission "revs" randomly at idle and if you are not quick on the brakes the car will lundge into cross walks and school children. Second nothing in the car holds up to any normal use. The second row seat belt fasteners are so low in the seat you can never find them when securing a child. The air conditioning only works in intervals. The front windshield is a bug and rock magnet. There is no room for adults in the thrid row seating and children would not be able to escape the third row in a crash. The weather striping falls of. The brakes pads don't last. I'm thinking about surrendering this 30k piece of ....... for the safety of my family and some piece of mind. DO NOT BUY A JEEP COMMANDER!
Strengths:
Turning radius, "Command" second row seating.
Weaknesses:
Everyting but the two strengths

Piece of Junk! |
|
Date: Jun 28, 2007

|
Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Rogers, AR) |
|
Vehicle: 2007 Jeep Commander |
|
Summary:
Looks nice, drives nice, but that is all I can say that is nice about it.
Strengths:
Sure footed.
Weaknesses:
I have never had so many problems with a new vehicle and I have bought quite a few. First the seat belt was to short, then the radio went out ( now for the 2nd time), the sunroof leaked (not drained correctly), transmission has locked up twice and they can't find a problem, had to to replace seals one the transmission plug. Would not recommend vehicle or dealership to anyone. Jeep needs to get their act together.

Vehicle: 2006 Jeep Commander |

Summary:
No matter how gentle I drive 14-15.5 mpg is all I can get on hi-way. Epa was rated 18 mpg. Feel like I was screwed by the dealer and Jeep.
Strengths:

gas milage, workmanship, wheels(CORRODING), sounds like exhausht system rattling on take off.
All around crappy vehicle for the money. no trade in value. too boxy, bought a bug shield to try and eliminate some of the bugs hitting windshield, $130.00 wasted.

Commander Sport with 28U package |
|
Date: Apr 10, 2007
|
|
Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Walpole, MA) |
|
Vehicle: 2007 Jeep Commander |
|
Summary:
We've got just over 2500 miles on our 07 Commander. Overall, we love the Jeep, it's been a huge surprise for us because we keep finding little touches that show some real engineering thought.
Our Sport 28U is light graystone with gray sport wheels. The exterior color hides the dirt nicely, and the darker gray wheels give the Jeep a sporty look. The 28U package comes with leather interior, heated seats, sunroof, adjustable pedals, and a whole host of additional interior features.
I can happily recommend this vehicle as it's designed. Now lets see how it does over the next several years.
Strengths:
The ride and NVH were a huge surprise for us, it's really great. I can't believe how low the wind noise is on the highway considering we're driving a vehicle with the aero qualities of a barn door.
The Sport comes with the 3.7l V6. I like this engine; it sounds great, it has decent pull down low, though it's a bit slow to accelerate at highway speeds (nothing embarrassing though). The engine bay has plenty of room allowing DIY work. I love the built in oil filter drip catcher.
The interior is great, though the fake diamond plate trim isn't the most attractive I've ever seen. The features are really great; adjustable pedals, heated seats, wheel mounted radio controls, rear parking assist, etc. The kids love the 3rd row and it's associated heat controls and cup holders. The reclining 2nd row rear seat is a HUGE bonus along with the rear seat sunroof panels.
One of my wife's favorite features is the remote start. It's not great for the average fuel mileage, but it's great for keeping her happy. When mama's happy, everybody's happy.
Weaknesses:
On the downside, fuel mileage is horrendous, though we knew this going into it. The 3.7 is rated at 15/19... I don't think there are hills long enough to attain 19mpg anywhere where I live. We average 14/15 mpg. The rear suspension is on the too soft side; with 7 people aboard you can completely compress the suspension over bumps; thankfully carrying 7 people is a rare occurrence.
The cargo space behind the 2nd row is acceptable, but nonexistant with the 3rd row in place. A lip at the edge of the cargo area to hold loose items would be nice; we've dropped several items that have moved when we open the hatch.

Love my Commander |
|
Date: Feb 02, 2007

Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Aurora, CO) |
|
Vehicle: 2006 Jeep Commander |
|
Summary:
I love the look and ride of my Commander. This mid-size SUV is great, I am able to take my family with me when they are in town and it fits in my garage. The gas milage is not the best but I knew that when buying it, but safty with my 8 month old was an issue and I feel safe that inpacts and snow will not stop us.
Strengths:
Will go through any snow, and it goes into 4X4 itself when needed. Love the rear heater.
Weaknesses:
Gas milage isn't the best.
