NHTSA Complaint #10298619 — 2007 JEEP COMMANDER

WHEN I BOUGHT MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER 2 YEARS AGO, A PROBLEM OCCURRED 2 MONTHS AFTER BUYING THE CAR, WHERE IT WOULD SLOW DOWN WHEN I WAS DRIVING AT A FAST SPEED. THIS ONLY OCCURRED ONCE, SO I LET IT SLIDE; HOWEVER, THIS RECENTLY STARTED BECOMING A FREQUENT PROBLEM. THERE ARE EVEN MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN THE ENGINE JUST COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR ME AND MY KIDS' SAFETY. THERE WAS EVEN A TIME WHEN A CAR ALMOST CRASHED INTO ME BECAUSE THE STOP WAS SO SUDDEN. THE PROBLEM RANGES FROM MY CAR JUST SLOWING DOWN AUTOMATICALLY TO COMPLETELY SHUTTING OFF. THE ENGINE ALSO STARTS SHAKING WHICH ENDS UP SHAKING MY ENTIRE CAR. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS IS HAPPENING, BUT I DO KNOW THAT IT IS NOT SAFE. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM 1 YEAR AGO, BUT THEY ONLY TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD NOT WORRY. I THEN RECENTLY RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN WHEN I NOTICED THE PROBLEM WAS BECOMING GRADUALLY WORSE, AND THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME 1000 DOLLARS FOR DAMAGES THAT THEY WERE NOT EVEN SURE ABOUT. I DID NOT FIND THIS TO BE JUST BECAUSE I WAS NOT GOING TO PAY THAT AMOUNT OF MONEY FOR SOMETHING THAT IS NOT MY FAULT. I RESEARCHED ONLINE THAT THE FEDS ARE ACTUALLY INVOLVED WITH ENGINE STALL PROBLEMS FOR JEEP COMMANDERS BECAUSE MORE THAN 135,000 PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINT AS I DO. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. SO FAR, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY SIGNIFICANT HELP. *TR
