DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE HEADLIGHTS WERE TOO HIGH, AND FOCUSED TOO HIGH AND TOO FAR TO THE LEFT. WHILE STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN, A POLICE OFFICER PULLED THE CONTACT OVER, AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT IT WAS ILLEGAL TO DRIVE WITH THE HIGH BEAMS ON WHILE FACING TRAFFIC. THE CONTACT INFORMED THE OFFICER THAT THE LIGHTS WERE THE LOW BEAMS, AND PROCEEDED TO DEMONSTRATE THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE HIGH BEAMS. THE OFFICER THEN INSTRUCTED THE CONTACT TO HAVE A DEALERSHIP ADJUST THE HEADLIGHTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A SERVICE DEALER, WHO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE NOT ADJUSTABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED, WHO WAS ALSO UNABLE TO PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE. UPDATED 12/1/2006 - THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHO INSISTED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS ON THE COMMANDER WERE NOT ADJUSTABLE. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR FACILITY WHO WAS ABLE TO ADJUST THE LIGHTS. *NM

I PURCHASED A JEEP COMMANDER IN DECEMBER 2005. RIGHT OFF I STARTED HAVING ELECTRICAL AND WATER LEAKING PROBLEMS WITH MY JEEP. THE VEHICLE WOULD MYSTERIOUSLY TURN OFF WHILE IDLING AND WOULD ACCELERATE QUICKLY FOR NO REASON. IN MARCH I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN COMPLAINING ABOUT THE DEFECTS. THE BIGGEST COMPLAINT AT THE TIME WAS WHEN YOU OPEN YOUR DOOR TO GET IN YOU LITERALLY GET A FOOT SOAKING!!!!!!!!! THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT RESOLVE ANY OF THE ISSUES THAT I HAD. THEY EVEN LAUGHED WHEN I ASKED THEM WHAT TO DO ABOUT THE DOOR AND SAID I BETTER GET USED TO IT BECAUSE JEEP WAS NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. IN JUNE OF 2006 MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEPT COMING ON AND I WAS STILL HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRICAL. I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF MOVING AND DECIDED TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO A DIFFERENT DEALER. THE DEALER AT THAT TIME TOLD ME NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT THAT IT WAS A MINOR REPAIR AND THEY COULD FIX IT WHEN I SETTLED IN. SO ON THE 16TH OF SEPTEMBER I RELEASED MY VEHICLE TO DAVE SMITH AUTO FOR REPAIR. I TOLD THEM I WANTED THE LEAKING DOORS (NOW THE PASSENGER DOOR WAS LEAKING AS WELL) FIXED OR REPLACED, WHILE THEY WERE FIXING THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THEIR SHOP FOR A WHOLE MONTH!! THEY COULD NOT GET PARTS FROM JEEP AND THEY COULD NOT FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX THE DOORS. JEEP TOLD THEM IT IS THE STRUCTURE OF THE VEHICLE AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY WOULD DO ABOUT IT. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO ME ON OCTOBER 13TH , ON SATURDAY THE 14TH MY FAMILY WAS RETURNING HOME WHEN WE LOST ALL PANEL ELECTRICAL, I SLOWED DOWN AND SINCE WE WERE ONLY A MILE AWAY FROM HOME, I CONTINUED TO DRIVE. NOT EVEN 100 YARDS LATER THE WHOLE CAR WENT INTO COMPLETE CONVULSION. WE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED BACK TO DAVE SMITH AND THEY ARE AGAIN ATTEMPTING TO FIX IT THIS CAR HAS PUT MY FAMILY IN GREAT DANGER!!! YET JEEP WILL NOT RECALL OR REFUND MY MONEY, IT IS AN OUTRAGE TO ME THAT THEY CAN SELL A VEHICLE AND NOT HAVE TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT!!! *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE STALLED ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. AFTER THE FIRST TWO, THE SERVICE DEALER REPLACED THE FRONT CONTROL MODULE. AFTER THE THIRD INCIDENT THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED WHO OFFERED TO SEND A TECHNICIAN TO ANALYZE THE PROBLEM. UPDATED 10/17/2006 - THE FIRST TIME THE VEHICLE STALLED THE VEHICLE WAS IN DRIVE AND THE CONSUMER'S FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE. THE SECOND TIME THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE BEING DRIVE 50 MPH. THE THIRD TIME THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE REVERSING OUT OF A PARING SPACE AND THIS WAS AFTER THE FRONT CONTROL MODULE HAD BEEN REPLACED. THE FOURTH TIME THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HE DEALER *NM
