ON THE EVENING OF 5/04/2013 WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT A RATE OF BETWEEN 65 & 70 MPH MY HEADLIGHTS ALONG WITH MY ENTIRE DASHBOARD AND INSTRUMENT PANEL BEGIN FLICKERING AND EVENTUALLY WENT OUT! I PULLED OVER TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTED IT THE HEADLIGHT CAME ON IMMEDIATELY, HOWEVER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FLICKERED FOR A BIT THEN EVENTUALLY ILLUMINATED. WENT INTO AUTOZONE (@#$%) GOT A READING, WAS TOLD IT WAS A MINOR ISSUE AND TO GET IT CHECKED OUT. A COUPLE DAYS GO BY REALLY NOT DRIVING IT MUCH A LITTLE NERVOUS, HOWEVER WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE NONE OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL IS WORKING, THY TACHOMETER NEEDLE, THE SPEEDOMETER NOTHING, HOWEVER THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING AND IT WOULD SHIFT IN AND OUT OF GEAR, BUT IT WOULD JERK AND STALL AND WHENEVER I TRIED TO MAKE A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN THE BRAKES WOULD GRIND AND SCREECH! "YITES" THANK GOD, WE HAVE ANOTHER VEHICLE! ANYWAY I CALLED A LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO BE CHARGED A DIAGNOSTIC FEE OF $130.00 FOR EACH COMPONENT TESTED??? REALLY! ANYWAY IT GETS BETTER I CALLED CHRYSLER-JEEP MANUFACTURER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT ALTHOUGH MY CAR WAS DOING EXACTLY WHAT MILLIONS OF OTHER RECALLED COMMANDERS MADE IN THE SAME YEAR 2006 WERE DOING, MY "VIN" NUMBER WASN'T ON THE RECALL LIST, GOOOOO FIGURE! SO YEAH, ALTHOUGH MY JEEP SHIFTS IN AND OUT OF GEAR ON THE HIGHWAY, CLUSTER BOARD AND HEADLIGHTS FLICKER OFF AND IT STALLS LIKE IT GOING TO SHUT OFF! NO CIGAR! I GUESS I'LL BRING TO WHERE I PURCHASED IT FROM AND USE MY "MAX CARE WARRANTY" GOD GIVE ME THE STRENGTH! *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY ADULT CHILDREN'S 2008 JEEP COMMANDER ENGINE HAS QUIT RUNNING, WHILE THEY ARE DRIVING, EIGHT TIMES IN THE PAST 4 MONTHS. (7/26/2010 THRU 11/26/2010). THE LAST TIME THE ENGINE QUIT RUNNING MY SON WAS DRIVING THE CAR, HE WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE WITH THE CAR IN DRIVE (TURNING THE KEY MULTIPLE TIMES). THEY HAVE HAD MANY ISSUES WITH WARNING LIGHTS FLICKERING AND/OR STAYING ON. THEY HAVE TAKEN THE JEEP TO WALDORF CHRYSLER JEEP DEALER 8 TIMES DUE TO ENGINE FAILURE. THEY HAVE REPAIRED MODULE WIRING, REPLACED THE STARTER AND TURNED THE CORE, PERFORMED ROUTINE CHECK UP AND MAINTENANCE, RUN/START CIRCUIT REPAIRED, THROTTLE AND GASKET REPAIRED/REPLACED TWICE, CURRENTLY IN THE REPAIR SHOP. DEALER WOULD ONLY PROVIDE RENTAL CAR IF THE KIDS PAID FOR IT. ALSO TOOK THE JEEP TO DODGE DEALERSHIP IN WALDORF 8/2010, THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM.
