The download I received was a complete waste of my money. Was not even close to what it was represented as. I thought I was getting a proper service repair manual. What I got was a collection of service bulletins. I sent an email to your company right after I looked through it requesting my money back. Have yet to hear a response. Terry Muich

It was much larger than i expected. 5 documents at 12k pages each. Its not something ill actually be able read but its easy enough to find what you need..
The Ford F250 manual is much easier to navigate at just over 8000 pages.
If i spend the money for Adobe Acrobat Professional ill be able to break it down into manageable bits.
Both manuals area great value for the money.

Schematics were not high resolution making the markings and names difficult to read when zoomed in. Improvement is needed. Otherwise it is a good document.

I wasn’t sure why I needed this to be a PDF, but it was apparent once I got it. It includes what would be thousands of pages if it were in print. The links take you to wherever you need to go in the text.

would rather have a maintenance manual. have a parts manual from parts vu company. only difference is that your parts manual has all together whereas the parts vu had to download the differsections individually.

Our original order was supposed to be for our 2014 Subaru Outback, yet the manual came up as Forester. We did have to purchase a new manual in order for them to send us the correct manual. We hope it will help us repair our Subaru.

Item as described quick delivery

The 2009 Jeep Commander was offered with three engines and four trims, and this factory service and repair manual is matched to that exact model year, so the specifications and sequences are correct for your engine and trim.

Engines

  • 3.7L V6 (226 cu in), SOHC
  • 4.7L V8 (287 cu in), SOHC
  • 5.7L V8 (345 cu in), OHV

Trims

  • Limited
  • Limited Premium
  • Overland
  • Sport

Known issues on the 2009 Commander. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year: a suspension fault that can cause a loss of effective lift and lowering of the vehicle, a wiring fault that can leave the driver's airbag unable to inflate properly in a crash, and a four-wheel-drive transfer case that can shift into neutral and let the vehicle roll away (crash risk). Owners have filed 64 complaints and Jeep has issued 22 technical service bulletins for the year.

From a routine service interval to a control-module reflash or a hard-to-trace wiring fault, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2009 Commander.
