Problems with 2007 Jeep Commander EQUIPMENT

Consumer writes in regard to amending/extending 10 year rule which requires automakers to only supply part for 10 years. *as *tr

I have a 2007 jeep commander, while driving on highway/ side streets vehicle completely shuts down. making it hard to brake and steer. very scary when your in traffic at 70 miles hr. and you come to a complete stop. took it in to chrysler dealer has no solution for this vehicle. all these problems surfaced after doing the drive controller module recall. got a second opinion and dealer gave me a list tune-up, coils, train service, etc. wow these dealers want to make some cash. had a third opinion and mechanic says all codes are related to module. now shouldn't dealer be aware of this and chrysler should be accountable. *tr

My 2007 jeep commander stalls during lengthy trips of 100 miles or more at speeds between 50 - 70 mph. each time it stalled i was on a major interstate and had to drift to the side of the highway to restart the vehicle. the first time it happened was early summer during a trip from georgia to louisiana and it did it again during a second trip in july. i thought my battery may have had a bad cell and was providing the needed power to the vehicle. after doing some research this evening online i see this is a big problem for other commander owners nationwide. i plan to take it to the dealer this week. *tr

I first noticed my car's engine dying out approx. 2 mo. after purchasing it. it happened at a red light, and i started it right back up, and thought nothing much of it. the engine would putter at red lights (3 times over time). this past tuesday night, i left the grocery store, and the car would not go beyond 20 mph, no matter how i pressed the gas pedal. i had to drive with my emergency blinkers and take the access road home. i t was night, and i did't want to be hit or rear ended. i feel so disgusted, and angry, because i just purchased it this past summer on july 7, 2007.it has only approx 6,000 miles . this isn't normal. i have been reading about the deaths on the jeep commanders, where the car engine and all its lights will suddenly turn off, while driving at interstate speeds. i don't want my car anymore,i don't want to be a statistic. the car seemed normal the following morning. i am driving to and from work on the access roads. the problem with the local dealer here is that if the problem is not happening right before their eyes, they will write a computer print out that states "nothing wrong found", and send you away. i spoke to the general mgr. jack dunn, and explained the situation he told me i had probably pumped some dirty gasoline in the engine, because he knew of the same type of problem that happened to me with other cars. he also told me that i should never let the gasoline tank go lower than half-full. i plan to take it in to the dealer this friday. *tr

We purchased a 2007 jeep commander on feb.10. it has 2,000 miles on it. last week, the engine "threw a rod" through the side of the engine requiring a new engine to be installed. it was the result of road rainwater being taken into the engine through the air intake. i am having to file a claim with my insurance company to replace the engine. the water on ther road was minimal. i continue to see jeep advertisements on television showing the jeep commander driving thru water... the consumer needs to be aware that the vehicle cannot be driven thru water...
