| Description of the problem | My 2006 jeep commander has now stalled 4 times for no apparent reason. The engine dies and i lose power steering and brakes. The first time was when i was pulling into a parking lot. I managed to restart it and no harm was done. The second time i was pulling out of my driveway, and again i was able to restart it and no harm was done. The third time was last week. This time it stalled and i could not restart it. I had it towed to a dealer, sherman jeep in skokie, il, for repairs. They had it a week and charged me $616. 00 and could not give me a satisfactory explanation as to why it stalled. On the way home from the dealership i took the expressway and the car stalled at 65 mph in heavy traffic. It was extremely difficult to control and i almost collided with a truck. I thought i was going to die. I managed to get it over to the side of the road, but it would not immediately start. After about 15 minutes i tried it again, and this time it started. I got home, but i am scared to death to drive this car. |
