NHTSA Complaint #10210948 — 2006 JEEP COMMANDER

NOVEMBER 24 EVENING LEAVING FUJI (CHILDREN IN CAR) NOVEMBER 30 MORNING ON WAY TO WORK ? HIT MAILBOX (BABY IN CAR) DECEMBER 5 MORNING ON WAY TO WORK ? 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
