| Description of the problem | I bought this jeep commander in march 23, 2006. The first time that the vehicle stalls while driving at 65 mph on the freeway was four months after i bought it. The power went off as if the ignition is turned off and the steering wheel hardened which made it impossible to turn to the shoulder lane. I ignored this problem because it never came back until april 5-10, 2007. I brought the commander to a dealer in the area and have them check the problem. They can not find the problem or duplicate it to fix it. They told me there were no problem. I'm scared out of my wits driving this jeep, not knowing when it stalls again. A few days later i brought it back to the dealer for it stalls on me again while driving 50 mph in the freeway. After a week of researching and diagnostics, they told me they might have fixed the problem by updating the final drive module. Today, may 3, 2007, while driving 20 mph, the commander stalls again. All the light signs flick on and off as i drive. I have two children, 2 and 10 years old and i'm so scared that other cars will hit us. |
