Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Approximately 3 months after purchasing my Jeep Commander, it stalled with no warning. All the trucks lights lit up and the power steering would not work. I was able to start it back up and drive. I took it to the dealer and they were unable to help me as they could not recreate the issue. Since then it has happened an additional 2-3 times with the dealership still unable to help me. All times the truck has stalled out and I have been able to restart and drive away. The last time being in september of 2012 while driving on a freeway at approximately 65 MPH.”
