MY CAR CUT OUT AT 65 MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I LOST MY POWER BRAKES AND STEERING. ADDITIONALLY I LOST MY AIRBAGS. THIS IS THE 12TH TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED. I CALLED JEEP AND ASKED FOR A LOANER OR RENTAL TILL THIS IS RESOLVED BECAUSE THERE IS NO FIX AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT. I HAVE NOTHING ON MY KEY RING THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THIS PROBLEM AND MY KNEE IS 8 INCHES FROM THE IGNITION SO I KNOW I DID NOT BUMP IT WITH MY KNEE. JEEP WILL NOT WORK WITH ME AND STATE IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE AND I SHOULD BE CAREFUL AND TRY NOT TO HIT ANY BUMPS. *TR

INTERMITTENTLY BUT FREQUENTLY THE ABS AND OTHER DASHBOARD LIGHTS COME ON AND THE CAR DRAGS AND STOPS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. ITS VERY DANGEROUS. SOMETIMES I CANNOT GET THE CAR TO GO WITHOUT SITTING AND WAITING FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME. IT HAS HAPPENED SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT BUT NO ONE CAN DIAGNOSE IT AND I DON'T KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. *TR

IN TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS DURING A FULL STOP AND SECOND TIME WILL REDUCING SPEED TO A STOP 2006 JEEP COMMANDER 5.7 HEMI ENGINE WILL STOP RUNNING AND LOOSE ALL ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE VEHICLE, POWER BRAKE WILL BECOME HARD AND ALSO THE STEERING. VEHICLE'S POWER WILL COME BACK UP AFTER SEVERAL TRIES IN THE IGNITION. *TR

THE VEHICLE HAS SHUT DOWN ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THIS WEEK WHILE BOTH IDLING AND WHEN IN TRANSIT. IT CAUSED A LOSS OF STEERING CAPABILITY AND OPERATION OF THE OF THE VEHICLE CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE. CALLS HAVE BEEN MADE TO BOTH THE DEALERSHIP AND THE MANUFACTURER WITHOUT SATISFACTORY RESOLUTION. THE DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGED MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, DASHBOARD LIGHTS BEGAN TO FLICKER OFF AND ON AND STEERING VEHICLE INTO A LEFT TURN WAS HARD TO DO. TOOK VEHICLE TO JEEP SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND WAS ADVISED THAT PROBLEM IS A ELECTRIC STABILITY CONTROL ISSUE, THE MODULE IS DEFECTIVE AND MANUFACTURER HAS NOT IDENTIFIED A FIX. WAS TOLD I COULD PURCHASE A NEW MODULE, APPROX. $400.00 FOR INSTALL, BUT THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT PROBLEM WILL GO AWAY. LIGHTENING CONTINUES TO FLICKER APPROXIMATELY 3 - 4 TIMES PER MONTH. ABLE TO DRIVE VEHICLE, BUT CONFIDENCE IN JEEP AUTOS IS SHAKEN. MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. *TR

MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER DOOR HANDLES ARE BREAKING ONE AT A TIME AND MAKES THE DOORS INOPERATIVE SO IN AN ACCIDENT, YOU CANNOT EXIT THE VEHICLE. CHRYSLER REFUSES TO RECALL THE VEHICLES OVER THIS ISSUE AND WILL PROBABLY WAIT UNTIL A FATALITY OCCURS.WHY DOES THE CONSUMER HAVE TO PAY TWICE AND NOT ONLY THAT,BUT OPERATE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE.THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE OUT THERE WITH THE SAME DANGEROUS PROBLEM,THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD BE MADE TO RECALL AND REPAIR THESE VEHICLES AND NOT PUT THE COST ON THE CONSUMER WHO PURCHASED THESE VEHICLES IN GOOD FAITH. *JS

THE ROOF LEAKS AND WATER FALLS ON THE DRIVER WHILE DRIVING. THE WATER ACCUMULATES AND YOU CAN HEAR WATER SHIFT FROM SIDE TO SIDE WHILE DRIVING ABOVE YOUR HEAD. SEAT BELT DOES NOT WORK. DASHBOARD FLASHES. *TR
