Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While driving my car it simply cut off - went dead. I had to pull off the road with no power steering. This is the second time this has happened with this vehicle. Once off the road - I am able to put the car in park and restart. This happens for no reason. I have had the car in the shop several times with no explanation what is happening.”
NHTSA complaint #10471886, filed 2012-08, 74,000 miles“Bought this Jeep in 2007. Recently when I slow down to stop it jumps and stalls out. It has been to the mechanic several times and he cannot figure out the cause. I found a forum about this problem and it seems no one can figure out why this vehicle does this.”
NHTSA complaint #10511126, filed 2013-05, 80,000 miles“While traveling over 70 MPH on the highway, the vehicle stalled. I assumed it was due to it being lower than 1/4 full. I refueled with 87 octane to full, but the vehicle continued to stall at full stops and on the highway a total of 9 more times. The next day the vehicle stalled again so I refilled it with 89 octane. The vehicle stopped stalling after that.”
NHTSA complaint #10192159, filed 2007-05, 14,300 miles“I have a 2006 commander which tries to die when idling. While waiting in line at bank or at stop signs/lights. The rpms drop from usually 1000rpm to below 500rpm. I have found that it will only do this in drive. If I shift it into neutral, the rpms immediately go back up. It has happened for the past year, at least twice a month.”
