| Description of the problem | I purchased a 2007 jeep commander in october of 2006. At about 2,000 miles, i experienced an electrical failure that caused many gauges to come on or go off. I did lose my headlights & the transmission downshifted. I pulled over, powered off the vehicle & restarted. The vehicle has done this same or similar problem 4 times now. I've filed the lemon law in indiana, but it was denied. The last time i experienced the electrical fault, my seat starting moving forward for a few seconds while i was driving the car. The vehicle has registered fault codes every time that i saved. Each time, the dealer can not duplicate & performs computer flash updates in hopes of correcting problem. In my opinion, the vehicle is dangerous to operate. |
