TRY THIS.
Here are some of the causes of surges, stalls at stops, slow idle speed, erratic idle speed, rough idle and engine hesitation (and other problems), it is in most cases the idle speed control air-bypass valve and or throttle valve and upper intake, these area's get full of gunk and combustion residue over the miles and cause idle issues (stalls, low idle) like yours, Get a can of intake cleaner from any local parts store, not carb spray, intake cleaner, it is made by a company called CRC, remove the air intake hose to the engine, hold the idle high so the engine won't stall, then spray the can of cleaner into the intake while keeping the engine running, use at least 1/2 the can, shut down the engine and disconnect the battery for 5 minutes, then restart and complete a number of mixed driving cycles, town, freeway, stop and go etc., after a few days the problem will go away as the system will relearn to the clean intake.

Does a 2006 jeep commander have a cabin air filter?

Yes, some 2006 Jeep Commander models do have a cabin air filter. However, it depends on the specific trim level and options installed.
To check if your 2006 Jeep Commander has a cabin air filter, you can consult the owner's manual or contact a Jeep dealership or mechanic. If your vehicle does have a cabin air filter, it is typically located behind the glove compartment and can be replaced easily.

My 2006 Sonata is idly roughly...the mechanic cleaned the throttle, belt is ok, and spark plugs are ok. What could be causing this?

Sorry to read about you issue with rough idle.... The only advice I can offer is to have the vehicle PROPERLY diagnosed. You describe an issue which could be almost anything -- that's the TRUTH!

Have the vehicle PROPERLY diagnosed by a qualified/certified technician - BEST ADVICE

2006 mercedes benz CLS500 rough idling

There are several reasons why the vehicle could be rough idling. If no check engine light is on and the vehicle feels like it's idling rough when you put it into gear. The transmission mount may be worn out which cause the vehicle to feel like it has a rough idle. Definitely at minimum you will feel the vibration when sitting in the vehicle.

Rough idle

Jeep has been having a problem with this. i take it u have a 4.7L or a 3.7L. when the when to fix this problem they should of replaced all the valves (intake and exhaust). theres a tsb on this and the dealer can look it up. even if you paid for the service they will fix it for free cuz it wasn't fixed the first time. take it back to the them and tell the to read the tsb and fix it right.
