MY WIFE AND I PURCHASED A NEW 2006 JEEP COMMANDER LT WITH A 5.7 LITER V8 ON JULY 24, 2006. FOUR DAYS LATER WE WENT ON A ROAD TRIP FROM WASHINGTON DC TO BOSTON, MA. JUST OUTSIDE NEW YORK CITY, THE COMMANDER STALLED (WENT DEAD, NO POWER BRAKES, STEERING) IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. SCARED US BOTH. MANAGED TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. PUT IT IN PARK AND TURNED THE IGNITION AND STARTED THE COMMANDER AND CONTINUED DRIVING. THE COMMANDER HAD LESS THAN 800 MILES ON IT. WE CALLED THE DEALER. THEY SAID TO BRING IT IN WHEN WE GOT BACK.

I LIVE IN CANADA BUT DIDN'T KNOW WHO TO CONTACT UP HERE. I HAVE A NEW 2006 JEEP COMMANDER (3000 KMS). THIS TRUCK HAS NOW STALLED TWICE ON THE FREEWAY WHILE TRAVELING IN EXCESS OF 100 KM/H. BOTH TIMES, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GOES TO ZERO AND I LOSE ALL POWER TO BRAKES AND STEERING. THE 2ND TIME ALMOST CAUSED A CRASH WITH MY WIFE AND 1 YEAR OLD IN THE VEHICLE.

WHILE DRIVING THE SUV JUST SHUT OFF. NOT A STALL BUT A COMPLETE ELECTRICAL SHUTDOWN. ALL LIGHTS, GAUGES AND ENGINE SHUT OFF. THIS HAPPENED AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH ON A LONG DOWN GRADE. THE CAR WAS BROUGHT TO A STOP IN THE ROADWAY AND UPON PLACEMENT INTO PARK, WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED. THIS SITUATION NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AS APPROACHING CARS SAW NO BRAKE LIGHTS AND THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE ROADWAY TO BE RESTARTED. CURRENTLY THIS VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALER AND NO PROBLEM CAN BE FOUND. IT HAS BEEN ROAD TESTED OVER 75 …
