I was driving my 2006 jeep commander down the interstate when it jumped into 3rd gear and the check engine light came on. i pulled over at the next exit and turned the car off. i started the car again and put it in drive and it still goes to 3rd gear and the check engine light remains on. my vehicle is currently at firestone and i'm waiting to get a call about my truck. has anyone else experienced this issue and if so, how was it resolved? *tr

My car has a recall, manufacturer recall number p41. it is a very dangerous issue and the manufacturer states recall incomplete, remedy not yet available. yet they say this may result in loss of engine power, power steering, and braking assist increasing the risk of a crash and disabling one or more of the vehicles safety features including the frontal airbags. i have not even been officially notified. i had another issue and came across this. i went to my dealer and they said they couldn't fix it yet, and they can not provide me with a rental. they have known about this since september 3, 2014. why isn't something being done to protect the people on the roads. *tr

I was driving down the highway at 60 mph and completely out of the blue the car shut off and cars were honking and i had to get the car to the side of the road and engine light came on. i sat there and waited to make sure the car was not overheating or anything else but no lights had come on or any type of warning. i then started the car back up and it ran fine but the engine light had come on. i took the car in to get fixed and they said it was a loose air filter box. i fixed this and did not have the problem for about a year and then the other day driving down the road at 50 mph the car shutoff. its very scary for a car to suddenly shut off with no warning whatsoever and i'm so afraid i will get into an accident. i just had a recall done to the car and they thought it would take care of it but it is still doing it. i just paid this car off and really i am scared to drive it now. *tr

I was pulling out of a gas station, when my commander stalled. its the second time in two months that this has happened. i looked online and found that hundreds of commander owners are having the same problem.
