Description of the problem	My 2006 jeep commander seems to have electrical or computer problems, i'm not certain which. Since january 2009 i've had several instances when all the instrument panel lights, the heat, and radio flash on and off while i am driving and all the gauges fluctuate; during this time there is also a clicking sound. I've taken it back to the dealer several times and paid $100 to have their computer evaluate the problem but they found no problems. Recently, on 12/11/09 when the flashing was constant for over 5 miles of driving, i brought it straight to the dealer for an immediate evaluation. I asked if others reported similar problems i was told "no", so i was very surprised to see the number of individuals in your database with similar problems over the past 2 years. The service managers always want me to pay for additional evaluations but i believe this is a defect that needs to be addressed by the manufacturers. When the problem began i only had 55,250 miles on the truck. Currently the problem has gotten worst because it is more frequent and last longer. The dealer has a huge turnover of service managers and mechanics so each time i have to explain in detail what the problem is because the service managers pretend i'm the only one who ever complained about such a problem. I fear that the truck will stall in traffic and kill me or an innocent driver. The problem is i have no other means of transportation and i'm still paying for this truck. What can i do about this problem without resorting to discontinue paying for the defected vehicle? The dealer/service managers report no problems including battery, alternator, and computer working properly so currently i feel stuck and afraid of the ramifications of this defected vehicle.
