Consumer Description

MY JEEP COMMANDER TURNED OFF, CAUSING MY BRAKES TO FAIL ALONG WITH STEERING AND AIRBAGS TO FAIL. I CRASHED INTO THE BACK OF SOMEONE TOWING A PONTOON BOAT. THE TOTAL COST OF DAMAGE WAS OVER $7,000. MY INSURANCE HAD TO COVER IT. THIS IS BECAUSE OF THE RECALL P41. I HAVE CALLED AND COMPLAINED SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT MY DASH LIGHTS FLICKERING, AND MY JEEP TURNING ITSELF OFF. I WAS WITHOUT MY VEHICLE FOR 3 WEEKS WHILE IT WAS BEING REPAIRED. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO GET THIS ISSUE FIGURED OUT! THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A MUCH WORSE ACCIDENT HAD I BEEN ON THE INTERSTATE. *TR
