| Description of the problem | Soon after i purchase my 2006 jeep commander sport 4x4 (5 speed)... I began to do some research on this vehicle (i should have done this prior to the purchase)... I was going through this complaint database and i was alarmed to read that this vehicle has a history of stalling. Well, it finally happened to me on 11/4/2007 (with 11,600 exact mileage) driving home from shopping with my family. The commander stalled out on during the highway merged. Luckily, i was in the far right lane to jump off the highway immediately. The power loss that i experience was only with ability to move the vehicle. My dashboards lights, headlights, radio; breaks were fully operational (thankfully). No accidents, no injuries except my children are now afraid of being inside of the commander. To be honest, so am i. There have been numerous reports on what is occurring?.. Everything from downloading an upgraded to debris in the hose. Either way, chrysler needs to address this immediately; the potential of death is very realistic. |
