Description of the problem	1st problem was my interior lights flashing on and off. I could not get it to do it while at the dealers. 2008 i thought my transmission was going bad. The dealer said that my transmission had a leak and charged me to replace some part. Then it happened again. Then they said i needed to service the transmission. I am surprised that dealer never mention any problems with the jeep commander ( i thought it was just my car) as i have called several times about the car shifting into neutral, and wondering if it was a transmission problem. The problem comes and goes. I just paid my car off, and now when i ride on the express way and go past 60 the enitre car shakes bad. If i hit a bump i can hear something like a crack noise. Sometimes when i make a sharp turn i hear a click click noise. At this i didn't trust the dealer and was thinking that maybe it was my axil. Took it to pet boys and they could find anything wrong with it. They said i needed new tires, so i bought 4. The problem still continued. I am so upset as i am a single mom and just finished paying my car off. I also have had to replace the alternator, radiator, water pump, thermometer, which i though was normal as the car is 2006. Now past 2 days i can smell a funny smelly, white fog comes out of my vents, and the passenger side floor is wet. I googled the problem and it says that it is the "heater core". The tire light is alway on with no flat. The engine light comes on frequently and says check gas cap. So far i have bought 3 gas caps. I can't believe that i struggled to pay this car off and now having all of these problems. I am not sure which problems are normal wear and tear and which ones are a manufacturer problems, but this is a night mare. I am so mad that i ever bought my jeep commander. Jeep should be ashamed of themselves.
