| Description of the problem | On three occasions, my 2006 jeep commander has stalled while driving, each time while turning left. On one occasion, i lost complete control of steering, braking and accelerating; thankfully i was able to avoid the other vehicles in my vicinity. The other two times i was able to restart the vehicle while driving., but was almost rear-ended both times due to drastic deceleration. I will be taking my car in for service; however i? M not confident that they'll find anything. From what i've read, it is a common problem that is difficult to replicate. I have 3 young children and now fear for our lives each day. I hope that jeep will recognize this growing problem and recall the vehicle before somebody gets killed. If i had the means to buy a new car, i would in a second. I no longer feel safe in this car. |
