Description of the problem	On the evening of 5/04/2013 while driving on the highway at a rate of between 65 & 70 mph my headlights along with my entire dashboard and instrument panel begin flickering and eventually went out! I pulled over turned the engine off and restarted it the headlight came on immediately, however the instrument panel flickered for a bit then eventually illuminated. Went into autozone (@#$%) got a reading, was told it was a minor issue and to get it checked out. A couple days go by really not driving it much a little nervous, however when starting the vehicle none of the instrument panel is working, thy tachometer needle, the speedometer nothing, however the engine was running and it would shift in and out of gear, but it would jerk and stall and whenever i tried to make a left or right turn the brakes would grind and screech! "yites" thank god, we have another vehicle! Anyway i called a local chrysler dealership and was told that i would have to be charged a diagnostic fee of $130. 00 for each component tested??? Really! Anyway it gets better i called chrysler-jeep manufacturer and they told me that although my car was doing exactly what millions of other recalled commanders made in the same year 2006 were doing, my "vin" number wasn't on the recall list, gooooo figure! So yeah, although my jeep shifts in and out of gear on the highway, cluster board and headlights flicker off and it stalls like it going to shut off! No cigar! I guess i'll bring to where i purchased it from and use my "max care warranty" god give me the strength!

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
