NHTSA Complaint #10651709 — 2006 JEEP COMMANDER

IN JUNE OF 2011 I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FWY AT 70MPH WHEN THE ENGINE TURNED OFF STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND I HAS TO COAST OFF THE FWY LUCKILY IT WAS NIGHT AND LITTLE TRAFFIC (CALIFORNIA IS KNOWN FOR HEAVY FWY TRAFFIC. IT STARTED AGAIN EARLY 2012 THIS TIME THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT AT APPROPRIATE TIMES AND REV THE ENGINE WHILE MAINTAINING SPEED IN ANY GEAR AND WOULD DO THAT FOR 5-7 DAYS IN A ROW AND THEN RUN NORMALLY (THIS STILL OCCURS AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH) DEALERSHIP AND OTHER MECHANICS COULD NOT FIND AN ISSUE AND BASICALLY STATED THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING HOT AND THE FAN HAD NOT KICKED IN NO THE CASE SINCE THIS WAS WINTER TIME WHEN IT BEGAN. AS RECENTLY AS APRIL OF 2014 IT BEGAN TURNING OFF COMPLETELY WHEN SLOWLY COMING TO A STOP ANYWHERE ON THE FWY AT A SIGNAL GOING UPHILL, DOWNHILL, PARKING IN A PARKING SPACE AND THIS HAPPENS EVERY DAY ALL DAY LONG - IT NEVER DOES NOT DO IT. AT THIS TIME I HAVE 117000 AND IT IS VERY UNSETTLING AS I HAVE A 7 YEAR OLD SON, A FULL TIME JOB AND LIVE IN BUSY CALIFORNIA - THE FACT THAT JEEP/CHRYSLER IS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE REPAIR NEEDED IS PUTTING MY FAMILY AT RISK DAY AFTER DAY - I CAN BARELY AFFORD AND MAKE ENDS MEET AND THIS HAS CAUSED ME MUCH STRESS. I CANNOT AFFORD TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE AS I HAVE TRIED FOR THE PAST YEAR. PLEASE HELP ME. *TR
