Consumer Description

I HAVE JUST PURCHASED THIS USED 2006 JEEP COMMANDER 1 WEEK AGO. THE VEHICLE IS IN GREAT CONDITION, NO PREVIOUS ACCIDENTS, NO ENGINE LIGHTS/ERROR CODES. ON THE 2ND DAY OF OWNING THE JEEP I EXPERIENCED MY FIRST STALL, AND SINCE THEN 4 MORE STALLS. THERE IS NO ENGINE LIGHTS, ERROR CODES, ETC. THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO BE 100% OKAY, HOWEVER THE VEHICLE HAS JUST SHUT OFF 4 TIMES LOSING BRAKES, STEERING, LIGHTS, ETC - WHETHER I AM MOVING OR AT A STOP. AT FIRST I THOUGHT "I MUST HAVE BOUGHT A LEMON" BUT I HAVE BEEN READING THROUGH SEVERAL FORUMS AND BLOGS THAT THERE ARE 100'S IF NOT 1,000'S OF PEOPLE WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR 5.7L HEMI COMMANDER, AND SOME OF THE BLOGS DATE BACK TO 2006 WHEN THESE VEHICLES WERE BRAND NEW WITH LESS THAN A THOUSAND MILES ON THEM. ONE PERSON ACTUALLY SUFFERED AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS ELECTRICAL ISSUE - LOSING CONTROL OF STEERING AND BRAKES. BECAUSE THEIR IS NO ENGINE CODES OR LIGHTS DEALERSHIPS ARE NOT ASSESSING THE ISSUE AT ALL OR ARE JUST THROWING PARTS AT IT HOPING IT IS FIXED AND CHARGING THE CUSTOMER A BOAT LOAD OF MONEY. SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE IDENTIFIED THAT THE ISSUE POTENTIALLY RESIDES IN THE PCM AND THE IGNITION COILS, SOME SAY THAT THE COILS PUT OF AN EM INTERFERENCE THAT IS DISRUPTING THE PCM. REGARDLESS - CHRYSLER NEEDS TO GET THIS FIXED SO NO ONE ELSE GETS HURT, OR KILLED. *TR
