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 …

THE CAR GOES COMPLETELY DEAD WHILE BEING DRIVEN. ELECTRICAL, STEERING, BRAKES, EVERYTHING GOES OUT. THE CAR IS MOVING WHEN THIS HAPPENS. IT HAS NEVER QUIT RUNNING WHILE STOPPED, WHICH WOULD NOT BE AS DANGEROUS. HAVE TO STRUGGLE TO CONTROL THE CAR AND BRING IT TO A STOP, WHILE TRAFFIC IS COMING AT ME FROM ALL SIDES. WHEN I PUT IT IN PARK AND START IT UP, IT RUNS FINE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 9 TIMES IN LESS THAN A YEAR. IT'S POTENTIALLY DEADLY TO THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS IN THE CAR, AND ANY OTHER CARS OR PEDESTRIANS IN THE VICINITY. I'VE COMP…

WE OWN A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER WHICH WAS HAVING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. ALL OF THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS, AIR CONDITIONING, INTERIOR, AND EXTERIOR LIGHTING FLASHED OFF AND ON LIKE AN ELECTRICAL SURGE. THIS HAPPENED USUALLY ONCE A DAY. IT HAS BEEN TO THE LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP FOUR TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM, SO THEY STATED THAT THEY COULD DO NOTHING TO REPAIR IT. THIS WAS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM BECAUSE IT IMPAIRED ONE'S DRIVING ABILITY. THEY WILL NOT WRITE ON THE SERVICE REPORT THAT WE FEEL IT IS DANGEROUS. …
