| Description of the problem | Vehicle stalls at random times at random speeds, sometimes while sitting at a stoplight, other times while accelerating , and also while just cruising at freeway speeds. Several times i have lost all power to engine, steering and electronics(lights, gauges radio), and a few times i have only lost power to my electronics and then they kick back on like nothing happened.. This is a serious problem that is wide spread throughout the jeep commander community, i seriously see some lawsuits in the near future due to the accidents this is going to cause... Im a second owner of mine and have had it for about 3 months with no problems, then within the last week it has died at least once a day... Thank god im still under warranty. I am going to the dealer tomorrow, they hope that replacing the ignition module is going to fix it.. We'll see. |
