NHTSA Complaint #10658659 — 2006 JEEP COMMANDER

WHILE DRIVING HOME ON THE INTERSTATE MY VEHICLE'S CONSOLE STARTED BLINKING IN ABOUT 2 MINUTES LATER THE CONSOLE COMPLETELY POWERED OFF SHUTTING DOWN MY VEHICLE. I WAS GOING OVER A BRIDGE THERE WAS NO SHOULDER TO PULL OUT INTO. I HELD ON WHEEL AND PRAYED MADE IT .3 MILES SAMETHING HAPPENED AGAIN WHEEL FREEZES AND BRAKES WILL NOT WORK. ALMOST CAUSED CARS BEHIND ME TO SLAM INTO ME. THANK GOD AT THIS POINT I HAD ALREADY TURNED ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND THE CARS HAD A GOOD DISTANCE FROM ME. I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE BEEN MORE SCARED. IAM THE MOTHER OF TWO CHILDREN AND NOW REFUSE TO PUT MY KIDS IN THIS DEATH TRAP. I HAVE CONTACTED JEEP JUST TO BE TOLD THERE IS NOT A PART YET FOR RECALL OF IGNITION SWITCH. THIS CAR IS NOT DRIVABLE. IAM TERRIFIED AND CANT AFFORD A RENTAL OR A NEW CAR. HOW CAN JEEP BE ALLOWED TO MAKE US DRIVE THIS THINGS. THE RECALL HAS BEEN OUT FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AND YET NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. *TR
