ENGINE STALLED TWICE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION CAUSING THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. THIS LED TO A LOSS OF CONTROL THAT REQUIRED THE VEHICLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45MPH, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN. THE WEATHER WAS NOT A FACTOR. THE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES FAILED. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AFTER ONE MINUTE. THE DEALER HAS NOT DIAGNOSED THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 2,143.

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATE SPEEDS OF 30-40 MPH, OUR 2007 JEEP COMMANDER SUDDENLY LOST POWER, SHUTTING DOWN THE ENGINE AND POWER STEERING. WE WERE ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE, TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART. THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN APPROX. 25 MINUTES LATER. I AM 4 1/2 MONTHS PREGNANT WITH TWINS AND NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR. WE KNOW OF AT LEAST THREE OTHER JEEP OWNERS WHO REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

WE WERE ON OUR WAY OUT AND ON THE ROAD AND THE STEERING WHEEL DID NOT WANT TO MOVE. IT DID NOT WANT TO TURN RIGHT OR LEFT. IT WOULD JUST GO STRAIGHT. WE ACTUALLY ALMOST LANDED IN THE DITCH AS WELL AS ALMOST HITTING A TRUCK. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY DEFECT. OUR JEEP COMMANDER IS BRAND NEW AND ONLY HAS 700 OR SO MILES ON IT. WE HAD PURCHASED IT LESS THAN 3 MONTHS AGO. SO, OUR VEHICLE HAS BEEN OUT OF COMMISSION SINCE DEC. 2ND, 2007. I DID CALL OUR DEALER FROM WHICH WE PURCHASED IT FROM, SINCE THEY ARE LOCATED IN WA AND WE LIVE IN AK. THEY ARE AWARE …

WE HAVE MAJOR LEAKS IN BOTH SIDE RAILS RIGHT ABOVE THE DASH BOARD. WE NOTICED THE LEAKS A COUPLE OF DAYS AFTER OUR CAR WAS DELIVERED. IT RAINS A LOT IN ALASKA, SO BASICALLY OUR CAR LEAKS ABOUT EVERYDAY! WE HAD TAKEN OUR VEHICLE INTO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS AND ONE DEALER SAID HE COULD NOT FIND WHERE THE LEAK IS COMING FROM AND THE OTHER DEALER SAID TO BRING IT BACK IN THE SUMMER BECAUSE IT IS FROZEN OUTSIDE, SINCE WE TOOK THE VEHICLE IN AROUND OCTOBER! I CAN'T BELIEVE A CAR THAT IS BRAND NEW HAS LEAKS! I AM GLAD TO SEE THAT ANOTHER PERSON HAS COM…
