 The 2006 Jeep® Commander Earns Top Government Safety Rating From
NHTSA
Jeep® Commander Is the 11th Vehicle in the All-new Chrysler Group
Lineup to Receive Five Stars for Frontal Crash Protection.
The 2006 Jeep® Commander has received the government's highest rating
for frontal-impact crash protection from the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA). The Jeep Commander's five-star rating for
frontal crash protection makes it the 11th new product from Chrysler Group
to achieve the top safety rating in the governmental frontal crash tests.
"Chrysler Group is offering Jeep Commander customers peace of mind
through more standard safety and security equipment and the application of
a broad range of engineering technologies," said Craig Love, Vice
President – Rear-wheel Drive Product Teams, Chrysler Group. "The inherent
stability and security we design in to all Chrysler Group vehicles is
enhanced by both passive and active safety systems, whether driving on- or
off-road."
The new 2006 Jeep Commander includes the highest level of standard
safety and security technology and features ever offered on a Chrysler
Group vehicle. Introduced for the first time on the Jeep Commander,
standard side-curtain air bags with a roll detection system deploys air
bags in certain rollover and side-impact situations. In addition,
Electronic Stability Program, Electronic Roll Mitigation, Brake Assist,
Anti-lock Brakes, and 4-Wheel Brake Traction Control System are also
standard on Jeep Commander. These are only some of the many safety and
security features - designed in from the beginning - that provide the Jeep
Commander with the ability to "go anywhere, do anything" safely and
securely.
Starting with the Chrysler Pacifica in 2003, Chrysler Group has had 11
product launches that produced NHTSA-rated five-star vehicles for frontal
crash protection. These vehicles include: Chrysler Pacifica, Chrysler and
Dodge minivans, Dodge Durango, Dodge Ram 1500, Dodge Ram Quad, Chrysler
300, Dodge Magnum, Dodge Dakota, Jeep® Grand Cherokee, Dodge Charger and
Jeep Commander.
The 2006 Jeep Commander is built at Chrysler Group's Jefferson North
