| Description of the problem | I have a 2007 jeep commander with a chronic stalling problem. Within just a couple months of buying this used vehicle, it stalled for the first time on the new york thruway going 70 mph. Since then, the vehicle chronically and randomly will stall. I have had it stall as much as 7 times in the space of going 12 miles! It will stall on the highway at 70 mph; or stopped at a stop sign; virtually anywhere anytime! This is extremely dangerous. Recently, i had it stall on the highway; i got it restarted and drove to my exit. At the end of the exit ramp when the light turned green, i proceeded to attempt to cross a busy intersection and it died again!!! I can't trust this vehicle and am afraid to drive it much. We have taken it to the local jeep dealership many times without successfully fixing the problem. Most recently, we left the commander at the dealership for a week and they thought they had it fixed so we picked it up and in just over 1 day it stalled again. I work only 6 miles from home and can't make it home from work without it stalling. We have put thousands ... And thousands of dollars in repairs replacing sensors (including map), exhaust pipe with catalytic converters, ignition system, ... And the list goes on. Looking on the internet, there are many websites and many complaints by other 2007 jeep commander owners for my same stalling problem. The 2006 jeep commander has had recalls for stalling ... And this vehicle (2007 commander) should be recalled and fixed. I cannot stress strongly enough how hazardous this vehicle is. Would you place your life ... Your loved ones lives ... In a vehicle that chronically stalls anytime and anywhere without warning?? Think about it! I am just looking for jeep to fix the problem their design has caused in this vehicle. |
