ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE
I OWN A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER AND HAVE HAD CONTINUOUS PROBLEMS WITH ENGINE STALLING. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAYS THAT A FLASH UPDATE NEEDS TO BE DONE AND THAT IT IS A DAIMLER CHRYSLER PROBLEM AND THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. MY WIFE DRIVES THE VEHICLE AND HAS HAD THE VEHICLE STALL ON HER ON NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE SITTING AT RED LIGHTS AND IT HAS HAPPENED AS SHE IS DRIVING AS WELL. I AM VERY CONCERNED SINCE I HAVE BEEN TOLD THREE DIFFERENT TIMES THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT WILL RESOLVE MY VEHICLES PROBLEM. I HOPE THAT SOMEONE IS LOOKING INTO THE STALLING PROBLEMS WITH THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE AND WILL DO SOMETHING QUICK TO RESOLVE THIS. *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
ON THREE OCCASIONS, MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING, EACH TIME WHILE TURNING LEFT. ON ONE OCCASION, I LOST COMPLETE CONTROL OF STEERING, BRAKING AND ACCELERATING; THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO AVOID THE OTHER VEHICLES IN MY VICINITY. THE OTHER TWO TIMES I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING., BUT WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED BOTH TIMES DUE TO DRASTIC DECELERATION. I WILL BE TAKING MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE; HOWEVER I?M NOT CONFIDENT THAT THEY'LL FIND ANYTHING. FROM WHAT I'VE READ, IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT IS DIFFICULT TO REPLICATE. I HAVE 3 YOUNG CHILDREN AND NOW FEAR FOR OUR LIVES EACH DAY. I HOPE THAT JEEP WILL RECOGNIZE THIS GROWING PROBLEM AND RECALL THE VEHICLE BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS KILLED. IF I HAD THE MEANS TO BUY A NEW CAR, I WOULD IN A SECOND. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR. *TR
