Description of the problem	Less then two weeks after the purchase of the 2006 commander (purchased on 8/10), the dash started to flicker off and on at random times - slow and fast. As i would drive it would get worse and i would lose rpm, mph, lights at night, wipers during storms, radio, air, heat, defrost, all dash warnings flashing on and off, etc. The dash would go black and then the car would stall. The first time this happened i was on a hwy going 65 and had to drift to the side without killing myself or someone else. I started the car back up with no problem. Two hours later i was at a stop sign and it did the same thing. 8/27/14 took it to the dealer and they said they fixed it. The third time it surged, i was in a storm crossing over a two lane bridge - dash flashing, lights/defrost/radio/wipers on and off, and then nothing but darkness and car stalled - i had nowhere to go. I lost all control with the car and only going 35mph. I was able to coast to high point of the bridge with passing cars beeping and flashing their lights at me. I started the car and had the repeat experience three more times before getting home using the emergency break - brakes lock when car stalls. 9/20/14 i took it to the dealer and they said they fixed it. I was driving 35 on a highway and it started again and i decided to tape the activity with my phone - dangerous while driving but had to show someone what was going on - dealer told me they could get me in to look at it in 4 days. 10/13/14 dealer puts me in a junk car and says they are going to fix it and wants me to be safe. Thinks it is a recall. Love the car but don't want to die in it because of an electrical surge. My concern is that these complaints have been coming in since 2007 and it is just now getting attention. This is a huge safety issue. I wish i would have done my research before buying the car, shame on me.

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.
