Purchased 4.7 V-8 Commander 12-28-05 from Arrigo Dodge in West Palm Beach, Fl. Spent all day in shop trying to get high pitched whistle coming thru drivers side of dash fixed. It is extremely noticeable at speeds over 45 mph especially when driven into the wind. Service dept said they were aware of the problem but had no fixes nor had they rec'd any repair bulletins from Daimler/Chry. Suggested I use the recirculation selector and not fresh air intake. Sales dept said they didn't build the vehicle and if I wasn't happy I should file suit under the Lemon Law. Next step is to contact DaimlerChrysler Customer Center, PO Box 21-8004, Auburn Hills, Mi, 48321-1997. 800-992-1997. www. jeep.com.

We just purchased a new Jeep Commander Limited with all the options and the 5.7 Hemi. Less than 1500 km ( Toronto, Canada ) the power steering failed - all the hydraulic fluid was lost. Went in for repair, Came back with engine problems, it's running rougher than before a very noticeable difference..Additionally while driving the tire pressure indicators intermittently drop in 7 PSI amounts - This happens on all for wheels and is very sporadic eg: the 2 front may indicate 234 and the rear tires are at 227, then it will reverse or sometimes only one will show the correct pressure. I suspect this is software related and maybe the onboard computer is trying to compensate in some strange way - hence the rough engine? Any one seen this. PS My dealership Unique Chrysler (Burllington) here in Ontario is absolutely useless..


Cheers,

Hey WPA!

Your Commander- is the noise inside or outside? If outside, do you have roof rails on it? Are they factory or A/M? Try repositioning them to the rear of the Jeep and see if that changes anything for you. If it is inside, check door seals and rear vent flaps which would be hidden by the rear quarter panel fascias. If the noise is engine compartment, power steering pump will most likely be the culprit. Also - is this intermittent or does it happen at certain temps, speeds, turning, etc. Let me know-

I recently purchased the V-6 Commander and have had it in the shop 4 times for the same problem. In less than a month. Now Jeep is involved and I would like to know if there is anyone else having problems. Mine has a loud whistle or high pitched vibration that they can't seem to be fixed. Also a loud air sound from the right front air duct. Becoming very frustrated. Any suggestions out there?
