ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, AIR BAGS
ALL OF MY SAFETY WARNING LIGHTS FLASH ON AND OFF REPEATEDLY. WHEN THIS HAPPENS MY CAR ELECTRICAL THINGS TURN OFF INCLUDING THE AC,RADIO AND EVERYTHING ELSE. THE ENGINE HOW EVER DID NOT. THE CAR KEPT RUNNING BUT EVERYTHING ELSE STALLED AND TURNED OFF AND ON.. THE FIRST TIME WAS ON THE STREET BUT IT CONTINUED EVEN ON THE FREEWAY GOING 60 MPH. I TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY STATED NOTHING IS WRONG. THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHIN. THEY EVEN PUT IN ON THE COMPUTER MACHINE AND NOTHING. I HAVE ONLY HAD VEHICLE FOR 2 MONTHS AND IM VERY WORRIED. I HAVE NO OTHER TRANSPORTATION AND HAVE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO WORK AND MY KIDS AROUND. I HAVE A VIDEO OF HOW THE CAR KEPT DOING THAT. IF SOMEONE CAN CONTACT ME , I WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO SEND THE VEHICLE VIDEO OVER. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH
ALL OF MY SAFETY WARNING LIGHTS FLASHED ON AND OFF REPEATEDLY. AT ONE POINT I LOST POWER BUT TURNED CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND IT RAN. LIGHTS HAVE STILL BEEN FLASHING. ON ANOTHER OCCASION IN THE LAST MONTH THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS KNOCKED ACCIDENTALLY AND THE CAR LOST POWER WHILE WE WERE EXITING A FREEWAY IN THE POURING RAIN. WE WERE ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTART THE CAR BUT WE WERE SCARED TO DEATH. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THESE COULD BE RELATED ISSUES. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER ALL I GOT WAS...WELL WE DON'T HAVE THE PARTS FOR THE RECALL...NO CONCERN FOR OUR SAFETY. THIS CONCERNS ME. *TR

SEAT BELTS, SEATS
MY DAUGHTERS WERE IN THE 3RD ROW SEATING WHEN THEY WENT TO BUCKLE THEIR SEATBELTS AND THEY WOULD NOT CLICK IN. THEY WERE BOTH BROKEN AND WOULD NOT STAY ATTACHED. THE PLASTIC CASING IS FALLING OFF OF THEM AND THEY ARE NOT SAFE. THE 3RD ROW RIGHT SEAT WOULD NOT FOLD DOWN. THE LATCH THAT SHOULD BE PULLED WOULD NOT ENGAGE AND NOW THE SEAT WILL NOT FOLD DOWN. LASTLY, THE DRIVERS SIDE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE CRUMBLED INWARD AND IS NOT ABLE TO BE USED TO OPEN THE DOOR. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT IT WAS MY PROBLEM AS IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED CARE WARRANTY I PURCHASED FOR $2500 AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $700 FOR THE DOOR HANDLE AND $300 FOR SEAT BELTS AND $100 FOR THE SEAT TO FOLD. I EXPLAINED THAT THE ABOVE WAS ALL SAFETY ISSUES AND SHOULD BE FIXED BY MANUFACTURERS AND THEY SAID THAT IT WASN'T COVERED. I EVEN TOLD THEM THAT I SAW THE RECALLS AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WASN'T FOR MY JEEP. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED BY THE MANUFACTURER AND CONSIDERED A RECALL. *TR

INTERMITTENTLY BUT FREQUENTLY THE ABS AND OTHER DASHBOARD LIGHTS COME ON AND THE CAR DRAGS AND STOPS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. ITS VERY DANGEROUS.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I HAD MY CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 55 MPH AS I CAME INTO A 35 MPH ZONE I HAD TAPPED MY BRAKES AND THEN CAME TO A RED LIGHT WHERE I HAD TO STOP, WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I THEN TURNED ON STATE ROUTE 348 WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS BACK TO 55 WHEN I PUSHED THE BUTTON TO RESUME, MY 06 JEEP COMMANDER ACCELERATED TO A VERY HIGH SPEED AS IF I PUSHED THE PEDDLE TO THE FLOOR. WHEN I PUSHED THE BREAK IT THEN TURNED THE CRUISE CONTROL OFF, LUCKILY THERE WERE NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME OR I WOULD HAVE CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF THEIR VEHICLE AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. AT THIS POINT I CANNOT USE MY CRUISE CONTROL BECAUSE THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I TRY (NOTE: I ALWAYS MAKE SURE THERE IS NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME). *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY
THE PLASTIC PANEL OF THE INTERIOR DOOR (DRIVER'S SIDE) CRACKED BY THE DOOR HANDLE. ONE DAY I PULLED THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE, THE CRACK IN THE PANEL GREW AND PIECES CRUMBLED AND FELL INTO THE DOOR. THEN THE HANDLE FELL INTO THE DOOR. NOW THE ONLY WAY TO OPEN THE DOOR IS TO LOWER THE WINDOW AND OPEN IT FROM OUTSIDE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, AND I APPARENTLY AM NOT THE ONLY ONE.
