| Description of the problem | My 2008 jeep commander overland edition has shut off multiple times while i am driving down the interstate at 60 + mph. I look all function when this happens; power steering, gas, electrical, etc. I have to make my way to the side of the road, put the car in park and restart it. It always restarts right away. I have taken my car in 4-6 times to allen samuels dodge, jeep in katy tx to try and have the problem diagnosed. Each time they keep my car for multiple days and then tell me they cannot diagnose the problem. I have called chrysler customer service and am getting no help from them either. They keep telling me to take the car in to get it looked at so they can diagnose it. Yet each time i take the car in to get a diagnosis, i am charged for a rental car for a few days, but then told they cannot diagnose the problem and they send me on my way. Within weeks, i have the same problem of the car shutting off while driving down the interstate. I have researched the problem online and have found hundreds of people complaining of the exact same problems in their 2008 jeep commander. I am at a loss as to what to do now. I feel the car is extrememly unsafe, yet chrysler is doing nothing to fix the problem. |
