Consumer Description

ON AT LEAST TEN DIFFERENT OCCASIONS THE 2006 JEEP COMMANDER HAS STALLED AT SPEEDS RANGING FROM 15 TO 70 MILES PER HOUR. POWER IS SHUT OFF COMPLETELY LEADING TO THE LOSS OF ALL FUNCTIONALITY. IF THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED SLIGHTLY, THE WHEEL LOCKS, LEAVING THE VEHICLE IN A SITUATION WHERE IT HAS TO COAST TO A STOP. THIS IS A TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE WITH SMALL CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. ACCIDENTS HAVE NEARLY OCCURRED AS A RESULT OF THIS HAPPENING. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVEN OCCASIONS WHEN THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED TO THE LOCAL DEALER WITH NOTHING ACCOMPLISHED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER BLAMES THE OPERATORS OF THE VEHICLE FOR HITTING THE KEY WITH THEIR KNEE. THIS IS NOT THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM AS IT OCCURS WHEN THE DRIVER'S KNEE IS NOWHERE NEAR THE KEY. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT APPARENTLY CAN NOT DUPLICATE THIS PROBLEM WHEN THEY SERVICE THE VEHICLE FOR SOME REASON THOUGH IT IS A VERY REAL ISSUE FOR MY FAMILY. *TR
