Consumer Description

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE 2/15/14 THREE WEEKS LATER WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY THE GAUGES JUST CAME ON AND KEPT FLASHING IT CONTINUED FOR THE DURATION OF MY DRIVE. ONCE I GOT TO WORK AND PUT IT IN PARK AND TURN IT OFF AND RESTARTED IT NOTHING HAPPENED. SO 8.5 TO 9 HRS LATER BACK ON THE HIGHWAY IT DOES IT AGAIN THIS TIME JUST FLASHED 3 TIMES. IT WAS TAKING TO A SHOP PER FINANCE COMPANY TO WHICH THE MECHANIC KEPT FOR ALMOST 2 WEEKS. THE MECHANIC STATED HE COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. HE NEEDED TO SEE IT HAPPEN. SO I TOOK IT BACK HOME THE FIRST WEEK NOTHING HAPPENED. SECOND WEEK NOTHING THAT THIRD WEEK IT HAPPENED AGAIN THIS TIME WHILE ON HIGHWAY ON THE WAY TO WORK MY SPEED DROPPED FROM 60 TO 5 IN LESS THAN A SECOND. I PULLED OVER AND SAT FOR 2 TO 3 MINUTES AN PROCEEDED ON WITH MY CELL PHONE READY TO SNAP A PICTURE IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND LOW AND BE HOLD IT DOES IT AGAIN AND THIS TIME IT WAS CONTINUES UNTIL I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE ONCE AGAIN IT WAS TAKEN TO THE SHOP WITH THE PROOF HE NEEDED AND AGAIN HE STATED HE COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG SO HE TOOK IT TO JEEP CHRYSLER AND HAD THEM RESET EVERYTHING AND GAVE IT BACK TO ME. FOR THE NEXT MONTH NOTHING HAPPENED. BUT THE FOLLOWING MONTH ONCE AGAIN THE PROBLEM STARTS AGAIN. BUT THIS TIME IT COMPLETELY KNOCKED OUT MY RADIO. THE FINANCE COMPANY WANT HELP AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. TODAY IS THE 25TH OF JULY BUT TWO OR THREE DAYS AGO THERE WAS A RECALL ON 2006-2007 JEEP COMMANDERS FOR FAULTY IGNITION SWITCHES. I REALLY DO NOT FEEL SAFE FOR ME OR MY KIDS IN THIS VEHICLE BUT NOONE SEEMS TO CARE. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUT I TRULY HOPE YOU DO. *TR
