Any problems with the Jeep Commander?

Hi, I'm thinking of buying a 2007 Jeep Commander seven-seater diesel auto with 68,000 miles on the clock. Any problems with them?

Thanks

Hi Sophie,

The engine and gearbox in the Commander are actually old Mercedes parts (Mercedes owned Chrysler at the time) and they're pretty robust as long as they've been serviced properly. 

The problem is that Chrysler-Jeep build quality wasn't the best back then so you can expect lots of small, niggling problems especially with the electrics and cabin trim. For a big seven seater, the Commander is also appallingly cramped inside.
