| Description of the problem | I purchased my used jeep commander and shortly after it stalled on me while i was driving. I took turned the key and got it to turn on again, luckily there were no cars behind me. Another time i was driving on the highway and the same thing happened, again i was lucky the traffic was backed up and not moving too fast. Before my warranty ran out i took it in and the dealership said there was nothing coming up on their tests that was of concern. The next month my warranty expired and i was stranded at a store. My jeep would not turn on claiming "transmission over temp." it was not the battery. I left it over night and went back the next day and it started right up. The dealership could not find anything wrong with my jeep and suggested a transmission computer update. About a month later i was back at the shop with the "transmission over temp" issue, but the jeep behaved at the dealership. I picked it up and about 2 months later i was back at the shop, having to tow in my car. The car again turned on, so the dealership replaced the starter relay on a guess (i was not charged). Again 2 months later my car is back in the shop for not turning on, again saying that there is a "transmission over temp" issue. Also while i am sitting at a red light, i find my jeep shaking like crazy. It seems like it wants to turn off, but it doesn't (or maybe the light changes just in time). I have done regular maintenance on my jeep. The dealership has run their diagnostic tests on the jeep and absolutely nothing has come up. All in all, i drive in fear that my car will stall again on the highway, putting both my son's and my life in danger, or that we will be stranded in the middle of nowhere. |
