| Description of the problem | I cannot "safely" drive my vehicle as the car goes into neutral on it's own? There have been many a times that i have been on the highway traveling 55 mph or more and all of a sudden, the car would slightly jerk and then loose complete power. I would step on the accelerator but no change, i would simply pull off to the side of the highway. Wait a few minutes and eventually the car would start up again? The headlights and interior lights go off and on? The face plate to the radio system gets hot? And has affected the illumination of the dashboard instrumental lighting? This is not a vin thing but a jeep commander thing? Such an attractive vehicle with so many many issues? Safety issues. And the company has yet to fulfill the recalls? Its been more than a year? Dealers keep telling the consumers, the part isn't available yet? I need to be able to drive to work, this has cost me additional money to buy a reliable vehicle to get me to work. I paid over $35,000 for it, and meanwhile it sits in the garage. A lot of money for your average joe to fork out. Who's going to force the manufacturer to honor the recall? |
