| Description of the problem | My 2006 jeep commander has stalled with me several times. The scariest when i was turning into a middle school driveway and it just shut off leaving me without any brakes or steering. It has also stalled several times at the end of my driveway. But the worse problem is for the second time in 4 months it will not start. Last time it was a tip failure. Something was wrong with the start up module. This was in jan. 23 08. Now, april 21, 2008 it has done it again. Last time it was still under warranty and i have called a tow truck this time too. It is still under warranty but with only 3000 miles to go. I am worried this part will continue to break. I am afraid i will be alone and the car will not crank somewhere. This is not safe. You must be able to depend on your vehicle starting. The last time it was repaired with part number 4692084-ab b;lci non 8015009 whatever all that means. It was run without any problems since that repair until today. Fortunately it broke down in my carport. |
