| Description of the problem | When my 2007 jeep commander is in drive the vehicle will stall and sputter or completely shut down. Vehicle speed varies between 5 and 60 miles per hour when the problem occurs. The problem started in october 2009 vehicle speed at that time was 5mph. Since then the speed when the failure occurs has increased and the last time (january 2010) i was driving at 55 mph the vehicle engine suddenly shut off, no power was visible on any control i. E. Dashboard lights, radio, etc and i lost steering power. Luckily i was able coast off into the emergency lane stop the vehicle move it to park and restart. The problem occurs randomly and with no apparent warning. When it cuts off i lose power steering and have had several near accidents with cars traveling behind me. When the vehicle stalls and sputters but does not lose all power it may then surge forward when the power reconnects. I have taken the vehicle in for service at my local chrysler dealership but they can not find any problem. |
