Less then two weeks after the purchase of the 2006 commander (purchased on 8/10), the dash started to flicker off and on at random times - slow and fast. as i would drive it would get worse and i would lose rpm, mph, lights at night, wipers during storms, radio, air, heat, defrost, all dash warnings flashing on and off, etc. the dash would go black and then the car would stall. the first time this happened i was on a hwy going 65 and had to drift to the side without killing myself or someone else. i started the car back up with no problem. two hours later i was at a stop sign and it did the same thing. 8/27/14 took it to the dealer and they said they fixed it. the third time it surged, i was in a storm crossing over a two lane bridge - dash flashing, lights/defrost/radio/wipers on and off, and then nothing but darkness and car stalled - i had nowhere to go. i lost all control with the car and only going 35mph. i was able to coast to high point of the bridge with passing cars beeping and flashing their lights at me. i started the car and had the repeat experience three more times before getting home using the emergency break - brakes lock when car stalls. 9/20/14 i took it to the dealer and they said they fixed it. i was driving 35 on a highway and it started again and i decided to tape the activity with my phone - dangerous while driving but had to show someone what was going on - dealer told me they could get me in to look at it in 4 days. 10/13/14 dealer puts me in a junk car and says they are going to fix it and wants me to be safe. thinks it is a recall. love the car but don't want to die in it because of an electrical surge. my concern is that these complaints have been coming in since 2007 and it is just now getting attention. this is a huge safety issue. i wish i would have done my research before buying the car, shame on me. *tr

My jeep commander has a recall, i took it in right away and was told part not available. it has been over a year and still not fixed. the dealership says no parts in yet and its been over one year. one year and i have made multiple trips and calls to the rio vista california chrysler dealership and their response is that chrysler is to send me a letter when the part is available. dealership is saying part not available. this is a safety issue and my children's safety comes first. i'm appalled at how this has been handled. i've been patient for too long.
