| Description of the problem | My husband and i are leasing a 2006 jeep commander since nov 2005. I have been involved in 3 separate traffic accidents on may 31 2006, august 8 2006 and september 20 2007. The engine stalled during low speed turns on both august 8 2006 and september 20 2007. I had just left a stop sign on may 31 2006 when my engine stalled in the intersection, resulting in a crash. I was cited for failure to yield on may 31 2006. I wasn't cited on august 8 2006 or september 20 2007, although the police report from the september 20 2007 accident describes a "failure to yield." i have also had ongoing tire pressure issues as well as intermittent brake failure issues. Prior to may 31 2006 i had never been involved in a traffic accident nor had i received any traffic citations. I am 48 years old. My vehicle was repaired twice after the first 2 accidents, but i am awaiting contact from the other party's auto insurer before proceeding with the repairs following yesterday's accident. I've brought the 2006 jeep commander in to bud mulcahy's jeep on several occasions. That dealership is now closed. |
