2006 4.7 V8 JEEP COMMANDER HAS HAD MULTIPLE PROBLEMS, THE MOST SEVERE BEING 3 (OUT OF 7) INOPERABLE SEATBELTS AND SPORADIC STALLING OF THE VEHICLE. THE FIRST 8 - 10 TIMES THE VEHICLE STALLED (WENT DEAD), I WAS AT A STOPPED POSITION ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT HAPPENED AS I WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. I LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WHEN THE VEHICLE DIED. I WAS GOING UP A SLIGHT INCLINE WHICH ASSISTED ME IN STOPPING AND I PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND RESTARTED. I HAVE REFUSED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE SINCE THAT TIME OUT OF SAFETY CONCERNS FOR MY CHILDREN AND FOR OTHERS ON THE ROAD. THE DEALERSHIP HAS ATTEMPTED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM ON 4 OCCASIONS - NOTHING HAS WORKED. THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION REFUSES TO BUY-BACK THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT DUPLICATED THE PROBLEM IN THE SHOP. I HAVE WITNESSES TO THE OCCURRENCES AND HAVE DOCUMENTED EACH TIME IT HAS HAPPENED. *JB

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
DURING ACCELERATION THROTTLE BECAME STUCK. VEHICLE STARTED INCREASING IN SPEED WITHOUT THE PEDAL BEING DEPRESSED. I INITIALLY HELD ON THE BRAKES FOR 3 CONSECUTIVE COMPRESSIONS WITHOUT ANY NOTICEABLE DECREASE IN SPEED OR RPM. SHIFTED CAR TO LOWER GEAR ALONG WITH BRAKES, STILL RPM AND SPEED WAS INCREASING. PLAN B WAS TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND LET THE ENGINE BLOW OR SHUT VEHICLE OFF WHILE DRIVING ON BUSY HIGHWAY. IN THE MIDST OF GOING THROUGH THESE ACTIONS VEHICLE STOPPED ACCELERATING. GOING TO DEALER FIRST THING MONDAY MORNING, GOD ONLY KNOWS WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF MY WIFE AND KIDS WERE IN THIS VEHICLE WHEN THIS NEGLIGENT, UNSAFE, HAZARD OCCURRED. THIS IS TOTALLY UNCALLED FOR IN A BASICALLY BRAND NEW VEHICLE, ME, MY SON AND THE INNOCENT PEDESTRIANS ALONG THE HIGHWAY WERE IN JEOPARDY WHEN THIS SAFETY INCIDENT OCCURRED. *TR
