“All the lights on my dash panel went on & I lost power of the vehicle driving down the road. It came back on then off & on. This has happened several times. My catalytic converter has broken into a few pieces. The dealership said this happens often to these vehicles & believes there is a recall on them. I have had my vehicle 4 1/2 yrs & this is the 2nd time it needs to be replaced. My struts have gone a few times on my 2006 Jeep Commander. The rear seatbelt in the middle & driver rear don't latch & when they do its really tight on my daughter. …”
NHTSA complaint #11175225, filed 2019-02, 150,000 miles“When attempting to move my child's car seat to the 2nd row driver side outboard, the car seat is unable to be installed properly. Our britax marathon car seat cannot be moved from the center position to an outboard position because the head rests on the 2nd row seat tilt forward and cannot be removed. With two children in the car I will be forced to move my older child to a less stable and less safe backless booster seat, so that I can put my second child in the infant seat in the center position. Had I known this at the time of purchase I would not have purchased this vehicle. …”

They were both broken and would not stay attached. The plastic casing is falling off of them and they are not safe. The 3rd row right seat would not fold down. The latch that should be pulled would not engage and now the seat will not fold down. Lastly, the drivers side interior door handle crumbled inward and is not able to be used to open the door. …”
