While driving straight in the fast lane on the highway at around 65 mph, my vehicle suddenly shut off with no warning and I noticed that all dashboard warning lights came on. Fortunately, there was a fast-lane shoulder that I was able to steer it on, or I might have been killed by oncoming traffic. Vehicle would not re-start so I disconnected the negative battery cable, waited a few minutes and re-connected it and then the vehicle re-started but ran very rough. I proceeded along the shoulder to try and get off the highway, but the vehicle shut down again. I repeated the same process and it again re-started and I managed to drive home on back roads at 40 mph. This has happened on at least three other occasions, but the incidents occurred many months apart, which made me think it was a one-off situation. I have since researched this issue on the internet and have learned that many other people have had this happen to them. I think this is a tragedy in the making if Chrysler does not address this deficiency by issuing an immediate recall. I also request that a Chrysler dealership inspect my vehicle at no cost to me. Your prompt response to this urgent matter will be greatly appreciated.
2007 Jeep Commander. Consumer writes in regards to flashing lights on vehicle dash board. The consumer stated when the vehicle was built, they made a three-way connection in the battery cables under two fuse boxes. When the mechanic lifted the fuse box out the way, he found the connection was never tightened so over the years there was movement in the connection causing all of the problems. It apparently caused damage to the pcm and indirectly to the engine.
