AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — As Jeep is poised to expand its portfolio with the addition of two new car-based crossovers, the brand is also rolling out its largest model to date — the all-new 2006 Commander, which shares underpinnings with the Grand Cherokee.
Built in Detroit, the '06 Commander has three rows of seats, with accommodations for up to seven passengers. The Commander offers customers a choice of three full-time four-wheel-drive systems, two transfer cases and three engines, including a 5.7-liter Hemi V8.
The Commander also has a full complement of safety hardware, including standard side curtain airbags for all three rows and standard electronic stability program, electronic roll mitigation and electronic brake assist.
Chrysler designers drew on the Willys-Overland (built from 1946 to 1962), the original Wagoneer (1963-1991) and the Cherokee (1984-2001) for styling cues and inspiration. The Commander has a more upright stance and a boxier profile than the Grand Cherokee.
What this means to you: They say people don't like the big cars, but then they just keep building them bigger. Somebody must dig these rides.

I am a 2007 Jeep Commander owner and I do not see anything on the 2007. It lists 2006, 2009, and 2010.
I am having major problems with my jeep. I am currently having rearend problems. The Jeep was brand new when I purchased it and it only has 60,000 miles. Has not been neglected, abused, or in an accident. I also recently found out that it came with only a 3 year/36,000 mile powertrain warranty. I have never heard of such. I at least thought 100,000 miles.
Has anyone else had any of these problems with their 2007 Jeep Commander?
