| Description of the problem | We were traveling home on the interstate going about 75 mph, and all of a sudden everything lights up on the dashboard, and my jeep commander starts shutting down without warning! We had to coast off of a exit ramp, and were thankful we did not get smacked from behind or killed! This is the third time that this happened to me. One other time i was taking my child to school, and it just shut off without warning while the truck was in motion, and i had to coast off to the side to a cvs pharmacy parking lot! Another problem with this particular truck is that the door handles are poorly made. All of my door handles just started crumbling one by one and will not open from the inside. I have already put in a complaint about the door handles to nhtsa. The last complaint that i have is when it rains heavily, a huge puddle will dampen my passenger side because water is backed up in the sunroof drains. Jeep has cheated a lot of people with this jeep commander! It has too many problems to count and everything cost more than what the jeep is worth! I will never deal with chrysler, jeep, dodge again! They are a bunch of crooks! Nhtsa please do something ! This broken door handle issue and shutting off without warning is going to get someone seriously hurt or killed! *jb |
