| Description of the problem | I just read an article in newspaper about the jeep commander's stalling problem. This has happened to me, but luckily, not at a high speed on the highway. The commander has only stalled once on me, actually, within the last week, while driving, but many times it seriously hesitates when i start to accelerate. Questions to dealer said maybe it was poor gas, or a vapor lock (about the stalling)? I never had it documented with them about the stall, now after reading this article, i am concerned. The stall happened within the last week, so it has not been back to dealer. It started right up after i coasted to side of road, and placed in park. Have there been any complaints on the windshield angle, i have gone through three from rocks!!! Glass very straight up! I do like the truck though. Purchase date approximate. I do like dealer, and have not addressed this problem to them (stall), because it only happened once, and i was unaware of current problem being looked into. I just wanted you to report mine in with your statistics. |
