NHTSA Complaint #10179111 — 2006 JEEP COMMANDER

THE CAR GOES COMPLETELY DEAD WHILE BEING DRIVEN. ELECTRICAL, STEERING, BRAKES, EVERYTHING GOES OUT. THE CAR IS MOVING WHEN THIS HAPPENS. IT HAS NEVER QUIT RUNNING WHILE STOPPED, WHICH WOULD NOT BE AS DANGEROUS. HAVE TO STRUGGLE TO CONTROL THE CAR AND BRING IT TO A STOP, WHILE TRAFFIC IS COMING AT ME FROM ALL SIDES. WHEN I PUT IT IN PARK AND START IT UP, IT RUNS FINE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 9 TIMES IN LESS THAN A YEAR. IT'S POTENTIALLY DEADLY TO THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS IN THE CAR, AND ANY OTHER CARS OR PEDESTRIANS IN THE VICINITY. I'VE COMPLAINED MANY TIMES BUT THE SERVICE DEPT. DISCOURAGED ME FROM BRINGING IT IN SINCE IT DIDN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME I DROVE THE CAR, BUT FINALLY GOT SO BAD I TOOK IT IN. TWO TIMES THEY COULD NOT FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. NOW THE CAR HAS A MONITOR HOOKED UP TO IT TO RECORD ANY FAULT CODES. HOWEVER, I WILL NOT DRIVE THE CAR. IT IS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY AND I AM DRIVING MY DAUGHTER'S CAR. WE HAVE FILED A LEMON LAW COMPLAINT AND WILL PURSUE VIGOROUSLY FOR THE CAR TO BE REPURCHASED SO I CAN BUY A DIFFERENT CAR THAT DOESN'T PUT ME AND MY FAMILY IN HARM'S WAY.
