 Description of the problemI was driving my new 2006 jeep commander limited home from a children's party at approximately 8:30 pm on christmas eve and was traveling northbound on the taconic state parkway at 54 mph with the cruise control activated. The vehicle cut out completely(stall), it lost all electrical power, the headlights and all interior lighting went out, the engine shut off. Fortunately i was traveling at the time on a straight section of road and there were no other cars on the road. I went down and switched the ignition key to the off position and immediately back to the on position and the vehicle restarted and all the lights came back on. My wife was sitting in the second row of seats with our 10 month old baby and she witnessed everything and confirms what i experienced. A week ago the vehicle did the same thing , but this time i was stationary in a local shopping mall parking lot, engine cut out and the lights went off, and the vehicle immediately restarted when i turned the key. The vehicle shut off again today with my wife driving it, she had stopped and left the engine running to retrieve something from the floor, and when she went to pull away the vehicle was shutdown the dealership has ordered a new front power train module for this vehicle, and that will be fitted tomorrow morning at 10:30 am . This now represents the third separate chrysler vehicle and sixth power train computer. Chrysler did a buy back' from me in decemeber 2005 on my 2005 durango, which after 6 months of ownership, from new had cut out approximately 7 times . My previous dodge vehicle was a 2003, ram pickup with the 5. 7 liter which exhibited all the same problems , but almost caused me to have a very serious accident when it shutoff pulling on o a local parkway. Fortunately, i pulled the shifter into neutral and steering on to the shoulder, but we were almost hit by another car that was traveling up the parkway.*ak
