| Description of the problem | My 2006 jeep commander continually stalls, threatening the lives of whoever is in the car. There is no warning. Suddenly there will be a complete loss of control over the vehicle. No warning lights, no bells, sounds, whistles... Nothing! The only way to remedy is to turn vehicle off and restart. This turns in to a life threatening incident when the traffic behind you is unaware that you are in fact stalled. The dealership has no updates or complaints of this problem (ya, right) and drives it around the block... With no incidences occurring. If they think it's going to happen while they're driving the vehicle, they're wrong. I 'm risking my families lives every time we get in the car. It's the most expensive piece of junk i've ever owned! Visibility out the rear window when the 3rd row seats are up is just about zero. This is extremely dangerous. You can't see cars, kids, or your neighbors house when you're trying to see what's behind you. Driver's side locks on it's own. Luckily the passenger doors remain unlocked, so i haven't locked myself out... Yet. *jb |
