NHTSA Complaint #10286705 — 2006 JEEP COMMANDER

DRIVING MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER ON 635E IN DALLAS, TX, THE CAR JUST DIED GOING 70 MPH WITH 6 LANES OF TRAFFIC, AND I WAS IN THE LANE NEXT TO THE HOV LANE AND IT HAD NOT SHOULDER, JUST A CONCRETE WALL. RATHER THAT CROSS 4 LANES OF HEAVY FAST TRAFFIC WITH NO ACCELERATION IN THE CAR, I WENT INTO THE HOV LANE WHICH HAD LESS TRAFFIC AND GOT REAR ENDED BUT WAS NOT A SERIOUS WRECK AS IT WELL COULD HAVE BEEN. I PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND STARTED IT AND TOOK THE NEXT EXIT AND REPORTED THE ACCIDENT TO THE POLICE. WHEN I GOT HOME I LOOKED UP RECALLS FOR MY JEEP AND FOUND THE V8 ENGINE HAD A RECALL ON THE FRONT CONTROL MODULE SINCE THE CAR WOULD STALL ON THE HIGHWAY. MY CAR IS A V6. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I CALLED JEEP AND THEY SAID I SHOULD TAKE IT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP 50 MILES AWAY TO "SEE ANOTHER DOCTOR TO FIND THE PROBLEM" IN THE MEANTIME I HAVE TO FIX THE DAMAGE FROM THE REAR END COLLISION AND THANK MY LUCK STARS I AM STILL ALIVE TO FIX IT. YOUR CAMPAIGN NUMBER FOR THE RECALL I REFERRED TO IS: 08V059000. *TR
