Description of the problem	2008 jeep commander, 4. 7l flexfuel, bought new in 12/08, has worked flawlessly for four years and 66,000 miles until now. The vehicle will stall out at any speed, from low 30mph to highway speeds. Requires that the car be safely pulled to the side of the road, transmission placed in park and key turned off and then on again. No prior indication of stall - it simply 'quits'. No evic messages or dash warning lights. The jeep has been meticulously maintained and not abused or neglected. This is an intermittent problem, that to date, has occurred five times since it began about five weeks ago. Just prior to stalling the drive train will quickly and violently shutter leading me to believe the transmission is doing something it shouldn't do. I have not yet brought this to chrysler since from reading other posts chrysler has no idea what to do. I have been fortunate so far in being able to safely pull over but fear that one day i may be in a perilous situation. My family has all jeeps (91 cherokee, 06 gr. Cherokee, and 08 commander) and love them. This does not bode well for buying a new jeep in the future.
