I TOOK MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER TO MY LOCAL DEALER WHERE I ORIGINALLY PURCHASED IT TO GET THE STALLING PROBLEM FIXED. FIVE DAYS LATER THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT THE PROBLEM WAS NOW SOLVED (AUGUST 24,2007) FINALLY. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THEY PUT IN A NEW PROGRAM THAT WOULD FIX THE JEEP FROM JUST LOSING POWER. AUGUST 25 SATURDAY MORNING AT 8:13 WHILE AT AN INTERSECTION THE JEEP JUST DIED AGAIN. ANOTHER PROBLEM IS THE WINDSHIELD BREAKING EASILY. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM WITH THE BREAKING WINDSHIELD COULD BE RELATED TO THE INPROPER FITTING OF THE WINDSHIELD WHICH RESULTS IN A LOUD NOISE BEING HEARD INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY WON'T FIX THE SEAL PROBLEM BECAUSE MY JEEP HAS TWO CRACKS ON IT. I SAID "IF YOU HAD FIXED THE WINDSHIELD SEAL PROBLEM THE FIRST 3 TIMES I BROUGHT IT IN WE WOULDN'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM'. NO PROBLEMS HAVE YET TO BE SOLVED. ANCIRA DEALERSHIP IN SAN ANTONIO,TX. MANY JEEP OWNERS ARE PURCHASING MULTIPLE WINDSHIELDS AT $385 A POP. THE DEALER TRIED TO SAY IT'S JUST ME UNTIL I POINTED OUT ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS IN WRITING WITH ALL DIFFERENT VIN NUMBERS AND EVEN SHOWED HER THE RENTAL CAR (JEEP COMMANDER) WHICH ALSO HAD A CRACKED WINDSHIELD. SHE'S CONVINCED TOO. *TR
