VEHICLE STALLS AT RANDOM TIMES AT RANDOM SPEEDS, SOMETIMES WHILE SITTING AT A STOPLIGHT, OTHER TIMES WHILE ACCELERATING , AND ALSO WHILE JUST CRUISING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. SEVERAL TIMES I HAVE LOST ALL POWER TO ENGINE, STEERING AND ELECTRONICS(LIGHTS, GAUGES RADIO), AND A FEW TIMES I HAVE ONLY LOST POWER TO MY ELECTRONICS AND THEN THEY KICK BACK ON LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED..THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT IS WIDE SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE JEEP COMMANDER COMMUNITY, I SERIOUSLY SEE SOME LAWSUITS IN THE NEAR FUTURE DUE TO THE ACCIDENTS THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE...IM A SECOND OWNER OF MINE AND HAVE HAD IT FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS WITH NO PROBLEMS, THEN WITHIN THE LAST WEEK IT HAS DIED AT LEAST ONCE A DAY...THANK GOD IM STILL UNDER WARRANTY. I AM GOING TO THE DEALER TOMORROW, THEY HOPE THAT REPLACING THE IGNITION MODULE IS GOING TO FIX IT..WE'LL SEE. *TR

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD
ONLY AFTER 3 WEEKS OF DRIVING, THE WINDSHIELD DEVELOPED A CRACK STARTING AT THE CENTER OF THE DASHBOARD AND SPREADING UP AND TO THE DRIVERS SIDE. THERE WAS NO IMPACT OR OBJECT THAT IMPACTED THE WINDSHIELD THAT CAUSED THIS CRACK. IT SEEMED TO OCCUR IN RESPONSE TO THE HEAT BEING LOWERED IN THE CAR DURING A VERY COLD NIGHT (AROUND 28F ). THE CRACK HAS RAPIDLY SPREAD TO ABOUT 2 FEET IN THREE DAYS. *TR

STEERING: STEERING WHEEL/HANDLE BAR, STEERING
WE WERE ON OUR WAY OUT AND ON THE ROAD AND THE STEERING WHEEL DID NOT WANT TO MOVE. IT DID NOT WANT TO TURN RIGHT OR LEFT. IT WOULD JUST GO STRAIGHT. WE ACTUALLY ALMOST LANDED IN THE DITCH AS WELL AS ALMOST HITTING A TRUCK. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY DEFECT. OUR JEEP COMMANDER IS BRAND NEW AND ONLY HAS 700 OR SO MILES ON IT. WE HAD PURCHASED IT LESS THAN 3 MONTHS AGO. SO, OUR VEHICLE HAS BEEN OUT OF COMMISSION SINCE DEC. 2ND, 2007. I DID CALL OUR DEALER FROM WHICH WE PURCHASED IT FROM, SINCE THEY ARE LOCATED IN WA AND WE LIVE IN AK. THEY ARE AWARE OF THE SITUATION. I ALSO CALLED THE JEEP CORPORATION AND THEY ARE AWARE AS WELL. I DID CALL OUR LOCAL JEEP DEALER AND SCHEDULED AN APPT. THEIR EARLIEST APPT IS DEC. 17TH, 2007. THIS INCIDENT COULD HAVE COST US OUR LIVES. *TR

DIES TURNING OUT OF SUBDIVISION AND STALLS IN MIDDLE OF STREET (BABY IN CAR) THERE WAS ONE OTHER INSTANCE WHEN I HAD ALL KIDS WITH ME?IT WAS PRIOR TO NOV 24 BUT I DO NOT RECALL THE ACTUAL DATE ALL OF THE INSTANCES THE ENGINE STALLED, THE LIGHTS (WHEN ON) WENT OUT, I LOST THE ABILITY TO STEER AND BRAKE AS WELL. THE MPH RANGED FROM 4 OR 5 MPH TO 35 MPH. THERE WERE TIMES WHEN IT WAS WARM AND DAYS THAT IT WAS COLD. NOTHING SEEMED TO STANDOUT AS A POSSIBLE "TRIGGER" I TOOK CAR TO DEALER AFTER THE NOVEMBER 24TH INCIDENT. TONY IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THERE WAS REALLY NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO UNLESS IT WAS A PROBLEM THEY COULD "MAKE HAPPEN" WHEN THEY DROVE IT. A FEW DAYS LATER I WRECKED INTO A MAILBOX WHEN MY JEEP STALLED AND I LOST STEERING AND BRAKING CAPABILITY....I AM LUCKY IT WAS NOT HEAD ON WITH A LARGE TRUCK OR A TREE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
ON APPROXIMATELY 6 OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER, THE VEHICLE HAS UNEXPECTEDLY JUST SHUT OFF COMPLETELY, STEERING WHEEL LOCKS SO YOU CAN'T STEER AND IT IS VERY SCARY. ESPECIALLY SINCE I HAVE A 4 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WHO WAS RIDING WITH ME ON ONE OCCASION. I AM NOW READING ONLINE OF MANY PEOPLE WITH THIS CAR WHO HAVE THE SAME EXPERIENCE. THE DEALER TOLD ME THEY REPROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER, BUT I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE MY NEW CAR. DEALER ALSO INDICATED THEY ARE NOT GETTING A LOT OF COOPERATION FROM THE MANUFACTURER ON THIS ONE (AS INTERNET ENTRIES FROM OTHERS INDICATE AS WELL). THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. IT ALSO HAPPENED TO ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON I-75 AT ABOUT 70 MPH. AGAIN, THE WHOLE CAR SHUTS OFF AND YOU CAN'T STEER. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. *TR
