| Description of the problem | I currently own a 2006 commander. I have been having problems with dash light shutoffs since 2009, just recently the vehicle has started to do exactly what the recall has stated that it will do. The dash components will go from on to off and then back on. The warning lights will all come on and then off again without warning. The fan motor for the heater is now starting to cut in and out in unison with all the indicator lights. Right now it is only the lights but at some time the ignition is going to shut off leaving myself in a situation that i cannot control with no steering or brakes to safely get to the side of the road. At this point i can hit the dash to the right of the steering wheel and it comes back on but how long can i do this. This vehicle is definitely a lemon. Sept 20, 2015 |
