Overview & Reviews

The Jeep Commander's optional 5.7-liter V8 is both more powerful and more fuel-efficient for 2009. Interior materials are improved on Limited and Overland trims, and an iPod interface is now included with the optional navigation system.

• Strong V8 engines, comfortable and quiet interior, capable off-road, lengthy features list.

• Small third-row seat, lackluster fuel economy, poor base V6, unimpressive cargo space, irritating touchscreen navigation and audio controls.

  Sold a bad jeep that broke down on me - 2009 Jeep Commander
  By Ms. Johnson - January 10 - 9:40 am

  Jeep rides very smoothly as if you were in a luxury vehicle. The front seats are comfortable and the back seats are not comfortable on long trips. Your legs in the backs seat tends to hurt because the seats are up too high. I like the theater seats for view but not for comfort. My brand new jeep broke down on me: 1st the cover underneath the front end of my jeep that covers the oil fell down, 2nd my water pump went out, 3rd my tensioner belt went out that is to only name a few. I had to take my vehicle back several times to the dealer. I am not satisfied, because I take long trips and I am afraid that my jeep may brake down. The positive side of my jeep it runs through the snow perfect.

  It cant be trusted - 2009 Jeep Commander
  By Unhappy Jeep Owner - January 19 - 10:20 pm

  We bought this Jeep in Oct new with 3 miles on it. In Nov we began having problems with the drive train. In a highway passing situation the RPM would red line but the transmission would lose power causing the Jeep to slow. This has happened at least 5 different times. It has been to the dealer every time. Each time they say they cant find the problem and that all the codes are correct. The first time we were told it was still in the break-in period, next they told us to turn off the traction cont but it happened again. Twice this issue has caused a near collision. We have contacted Chrysler and so far have not had any help. We have now gone to the NHTSA. Chrysler has a problem.
