“The 2007 Jeep commander's engine and power shut off at highway speed (approx 65 MPH) on I-95. The power steering and power brakes were not operational. My wife had to cross four lanes of traffic to stop the vehicle on the side of the road to attempt to restart the vehicle. The key was not bumped or touched when the vehicle shut off. The vehicle did restart after coming to a stop.”

“I was driving my 2007 Jeep commander with about 25k miles driven. I noticed that sometimes the vehicle will not accelerate on demand. The tachometer drops to 10k RPM. This is a very dangerous situation. I took it to the dealer and they can find nothing wrong. The vehicle continues to fail at increasing rates unexpectedly. Help!”

“The check engine light came on after the engine stalled out several times in a row. I had it tested, and they said it was an idle air control valve. The idle air control valve does not exist on this vehicle, but yet its the only code that it is giving off. I'm still having stalling issues which are dangerous when pulling out of intersections. Another issue that is ongoing that I'm having, is the sunroof leaking. I have literally 2 gallons of water that will be on my floor board when it rains. …”
