Description of the problem	Our 2006 jeep commander v8 4. 7l has stalled while driving at least 5 times. 3 times on the highway and twice on slow turns. Initially the problem seemed related to the ignition switch. Just a slight brush against the key was enough to kill the engine and some of the electrical systems (specifically power assist). While out of town during this past christmas the third highway failure and first slow turn failure occurred. The out of town dealer replaced the ignition switch. Another slow turn failure occurred on march 20, 2008, where the disabled power assist had my wife veering into oncoming traffic. We had the dealer pick up the car at our home. The service manager stated that this was the fifth commander he had personally seen with this issue. The current fix was to upgrade the firmware of the engine controller unit. I asked for and received the technical service bulletin for this repair (case number k23158981, star on line number: 18190602 0. 4). The bulletin did not mention the root cause for this issue and the recommendation only states that the engine controller should be flashed. I asked for further technical details in hopes of finding some confidence that this issue has truly been diagnosed and fixed, but was told that no more information was available. The service manager was fairly confident that the issue would be resolved with this fix, but he could not be certain. Frankly, that's just not good enough with this kind of safety concern. We are at 39k miles and out of our warranty. Dealing with dc's corporate office has been a nightmare and have refused to provide any real assistance. We are looking to get out of this car as we no longer have confidence in it's safety. The local dealership has been nice enough, but beyond trying to give us the best deal possible on a '08 commander they haven't been able to really assist us in getting out of this vehicle.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
