Shifting Gears: Commander Reliability by Model Year

The Commander's reliability can vary depending on the model year. Here's a roadmap to navigate potential trouble spots:

2006-2010 Models:

These earlier Commanders offer classic Jeep styling and off-road prowess, but some potential concerns to consider include:

• Engine Issues: Some early Commanders, particularly those with the 3.7L V6 engine, might experience exhaust leaks or oil leaks. PartsHawk offers a wide variety of engine parts for your specific Commander model year, including:
• Engine gaskets & seals (replace worn gaskets and seals to prevent leaks and potential engine damage)
• Exhaust manifolds & gaskets (cracked manifolds can cause leaks; replace to ensure proper engine operation)
• High-quality engine oil and filters (various brands; choose synthetic oil for optimal performance, especially for off-roading)
• 4WD System Warning Light: Some owners report the service 4WD system warning light appearing even if no faults are present. Consult a trusted mechanic for proper diagnosis, but PartsHawk carries various sensors and electrical components that might be the culprit.

Common Problems Across All Commander Models

Even rugged SUVs can have their quirks. Here's what to watch out for in your Commander, regardless of the model year:

• Sunroof Leaks: A common complaint with the Commander is a leaky sunroof that can damage the interior. PartsHawk offers replacement sunroof drains and seals to keep your adventures dry.
