ENGINE
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND THE ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. ONE OF THE SCARIEST THINGS I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED. LUCKILY TRAFFIC WAS MINIMAL AT THE TIME, BUT IN TRAFFIC, IT COULD HAVE BEEN A HUGE DISASTER.

SEAT BELTS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
I PURCHASED MY JEEP COMMANDER ON FEBRUARY 12, 2014. A WEEK AFTER I PURCHASED IT MY CHECK LIGHT CAME ON SO I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. IT WAS FOR MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THE PEOPLE IN THE GARAGE STATED IT WAS JUST A SENSOR AND NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT I TOLD THEM TO FIX IT WHILE IT WAS STILL COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY. THEY WOULDN'T. THE NEXT DAY ALL OF THE DOME LIGHTS AND DASHBOARD LIGHTS IN MY TRUCK STARTED FLICKERING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. (STILL DOES IT TO THIS DAY). SOON AFTER MY BRAKES WENT OUT ON ME WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH MY KIDS SO I HAD TO GET THE CALIPERS AND EVERYTHING CHANGED. NEXT IT WAS THE WINDOWS THEY ALL STOPPED WORKING. THE END OF JANUARY 2015, WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AGAIN WITH MY CHILDREN, ALL OF THE LUG NUTS AND BOLTS FELL OFF OF MY TIRE REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE. I ENDED UP CALLING THE TOW TRUCK AND TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT. $2500 AND TWO WEEKS LATER I GET MY TRUCK BACK, HAVE IT FOR A DAY & IT STARTS JERKING ON MY WAY TO WORK. THEY FIXED EVERYTHING THAT HAD TO DO WITH MY TIRES AND SUSPENSION. THEY ALSO INFORM ME I NEED MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER CHANGED AFTER THEY TOLD ME NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT IT'S JUST THE SENSOR ACTING FUNNY. (IT COULD'VE BEEN FIXED WHEN I ASKED THEM TO DO IT WHILE IT WAS COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY) NOW MY LIGHTS START FLASHING MY WHEEL SPEED SENSORS AREN'T WORKING AND IS MESSING WITH MY ABS SYSTEM AND TRACTION. THEY JUST TELL ME TO SHUT THE TRACTION OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING IT SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. I END UP TAKING IT BACK IN THE SHOP. A MONTH LATER I'M DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND MY SERPENTINE BELT BUSTS AND I LOSE CONTROL OF MY TRUCK. ANOTHER $500 DOLLAR JOB. PRESENT DAY, MY TRUCK IS BACK IN THE SHOP FOR A ROUTINE BRAKES AND ROTORS FIX AND THEY CALL AND SAY I NEED MY OUTER TIRODS FIXED AND REAR AXLE SOMETHING. I'VE PUT MORE MONEY INTO THIS TRUCK THAN I'VE PAID FOR IT IN THE PAST YEAR.

POWER STEERING AND BRAKING WERE FINE AT FIRST. I STEERED THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. BEFORE COMING TO A STOP, THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING. ONCE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND THEN TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE CAR RE-STARTED IMMEDIATELY, HOWEVER, THE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR INTO THE SHOP AND THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO FIND ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE. ...UPDATED 09/22/15 *BF ABOUT ONE WEEK PRIOR TO THE ABOVE EVENT, I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM THE TRAIN STATION ON A PERFECTLY DRY AND CLEAR DAY AND WHEN I WAS DRIVING, THE VARIOUS TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE CAR WOULD PERIODICALLY BUCK WHILE THE RPM'S WOULD REV HIGHER FOR A MOMENT. AFTER ARRIVING HOME, I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND PARKED IT IN THE GARAGE. THE NEST DAY WHEN I STARTED IT, THE TRACTION LIGHTS WERE OFF AND THE CAR APPEARED TO DRIVE NORMALLY. THE LIGHTS THAT WERE ON WERE THE ESP, BAS, AND THE PICTURE OF THE CAR SLIDING. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR REPAIR, THE DEALER COULDN'T FIND ANY ISSUE WITH THE TRACTION SYSTEM.

STEERING, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HWY AND MY VEHICLE TURNED OFF. I LOST POWER STEERING BREAKS AND WAS NOT ABLE TO PROPERLY MAINTAIN CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE IN ORDER TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAD HAPPENED TWICE BEFORE THIS TIME, AND I LOOKED TO SEE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY JEEP FOR AN INGITION SWITCH AND THE THE EXACT DISCRIPTION OF WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF MY CAR WAS EFFECTED FIT MY SITUATION. I THEN CALLED JEEP AND ADVISED THEM OF THIS AND THEY SAID I NEEEDED TO HAVE IT DIAGNOISED BY A JEEP DEALERSHIP. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED AT MY EXPENSENSE AND RENTED A CAR AT MY EXPENSE. THE DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED MY ASSUMPTION AND IN FACT THE ISSUE I WAS EXPERIENCING IS PART OF THE RECALL. JEEP NOW TELLS ME THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS AND THEY HAVE NOT MADE A DECISION ON WHETHER IT'S NECCESSARY TO PROVIDE A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE UNTIL THEY HAVE A RESOLVE. AM I SUPPOSED TO BE WITHOUT A VEHICLE OR POTENTIALLY DRIVE MINE WITH 3 CHILDREN, AND POTENTIALLY LOOSE POWER AGAIN CAUSING A LOSS OF CONTROL? WHAT I AM SUPPOSED TO DO FROM HERE?
