Description of the problem	My beloved jeep commander suddenly shut off while driving at 40mph. With no prior problems or warning signs the engine completely stalled- instantly i lost both power steering & brakes. Needless to say i was terrified. After much confusion & hassle i was told to replace my key. (reason being the 'chip' inside was malfunctioning.) i replaced the $270 key which solved nothing. To my surprise, many commander owners experience this same problem with no help from jeep. Not only do jeep dealerships ignore the potential recall warning on the commander, but they actually recommend expensive 'solutions' that do not even touch the known problem. It seems as though there are no solutions for this faulty system, given that no dealership can successfully stop the shutting off. There are way too many owners experiencing the same dangerous stall. I cannot in good conscience ignore the fact that this problem goes beyond inconvenience; this is potentially very dangerous and the jeep commander needs to be recalled.
