NHTSA Complaint #10672288 — 2006 JEEP COMMANDER

I HAVE HAD MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER FOR A YEAR AND IN THAT TIME PERIOD I HAVE HAD A CONSISTENT PROBLEM. WHEN I AM DRIVING THE VEHICLE I WILL RANDOMLY LOSE POWER TO THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, WINDOWS , WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND ALMOST EVERYTHING ELECTRICAL. THE ENGINE WILL CONTINUE TO RUN BUT IF IT HAPPENS AT NIGHT I LOSE INTERIOR LIGHTS DASH LIGHTS I CAN'T SEE HOW FAST I AM GOING DUE TO THE PANEL NOT WORKING. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE MECHANIC AND HE INSISTS IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH. I KNOW A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR A SEPARATE IGNITION PROBLEM BUT AFTER READING ONLINE AND SEEING MANY OTHER REPORTS JUST LIKE MINE I,BELIEVE THERE IS ANOTHER ISSUE TO BE HANDLED. THIS PROBLEM IS ALSO MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO GET THE VEHICLE INSPECTED BECAUSE WHEN IT ACTS UP IT CAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON AND HAS TO BE RESET. THEN BEFORE ALL SENSORS HAVE RESET IT OCCURS AGAIN. I HAVE SPENT A SMALL FORTUNE IS GAS TRYING TO GET LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO PASS INSPECTION. *TR
