| Description of the problem | We purchased a 2008 jeep commander on december 15th 2012 and have had an issue with the engine stalling. We will be driving and all of the sudden the vehicle engine dies. Its always restarted but we never know when its going to stall out and die. This happened to my wife yesterday and she didn't know how to react. She almost caused an accident when she tried to exit a busy freeway with no power steering. This is a huge safety issue that i think chrysler needs to address before someone gets killed !!!! I read about this issue online and the problem has been with the front control module. Many jeep commander owners have come fourth with the same issue and chrysler just tells us all the same thing. We didn't recall your specific model so there is nothing we can do or will do. I hope someone actually reads this and helps us out !!! Please don't let all of these complaints just go to a black hole never to be seen again !!! I know i am not as rich as the chrysler ceos and executives who pay people to keep quite about things like this but my life and the lives of my family do matter !!! P-l-e-a-s-e----h-e-l-p !!!!! |
