Consumer Description

MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER HAS NOW STALLED 4 TIMES FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE ENGINE DIES AND I LOSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. THE FIRST TIME WAS WHEN I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT. I MANAGED TO RESTART IT AND NO HARM WAS DONE. THE SECOND TIME I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, AND AGAIN I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT AND NO HARM WAS DONE. THE THIRD TIME WAS LAST WEEK. THIS TIME IT STALLED AND I COULD NOT RESTART IT. I HAD IT TOWED TO A DEALER, SHERMAN JEEP IN SKOKIE, IL, FOR REPAIRS. THEY HAD IT A WEEK AND CHARGED ME $616.00 AND COULD NOT GIVE ME A SATISFACTORY EXPLANATION AS TO WHY IT STALLED. ON THE WAY HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP I TOOK THE EXPRESSWAY AND THE CAR STALLED AT 65 MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. IT WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AND I ALMOST COLLIDED WITH A TRUCK. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE. I MANAGED TO GET IT OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, BUT IT WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY START. AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES I TRIED IT AGAIN, AND THIS TIME IT STARTED. I GOT HOME, BUT I AM SCARED TO DEATH TO DRIVE THIS CAR. *TR
