Engine Shut Off Without Warning problems of the 2008 Jeep Commander

The contact owns a 2008 Jeep Commander. While attempting to start the vehicle, it would start and then shut off without warning. The check engine and oil warning indicators illuminated and the steering wheel locked. The failure also occurred whenever the vehicle was driven at various speeds. The contact took the vehicle to a certified mechanic and a dealer, but the failure could not be diagnosed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 150,000.

Traveling on the interstate hwy at 70 mph no warning the vehicle shut off. I pulled over to the emergency lane. Shut off engine and it started back up. This has been an ongoing monthly issue, sometimes it shut off 10 to 15 minutes after I have been driving. Sometimes the engine comes on for a few days and goings off. It has become a dangerous situation, when driving I have stay in the right lane so if it happens I wont be stop in the middle of the interstate. This recent time on November 30, 2012 was traveling with business clients, several other times with my wife and grandchildren. Taken to the dealer, they have tested on their equipment (charge me up to over $200. 00 to test) and told me tech couldn't find anything wrong; replace a switch. This issue has forced me in my business to travel to rent a rental car to travel out of the town as before I drove my Jeep. This is expense and making a decision if I need to purchase another vehicle: not a Jeep.

This is a repeat problem problem still not solved I keep bringing into the dealership. It has been towed, driven, etc. Data recorder. New ignition installed, new wires installed, relay switch installed now they want to try to replace the fuel pump. They are just guessing they have no solution to this problem. Time to go drive my death trap. . . . Doesnt start sometimes, and they can't figure that out. . . Today, while I was sitting in traffic on 95 my Jeep just accelerated out of no where; and I had to slam on the brake and skid off the highway to avoid hitting another vehicle. Now I have no headlights, and no turn signals. No digital speedometer, thankfully, cars still have the traditional speedometer. Lets see what happens this time around. Your right route 1 Jeep there is nothing wrong with my vehicle and its safe to drive. . . Maybe Chrysler will get there act together and learn from gm! reading me instructions on how to pull my car off the road in case of engine shut down is unacceptable! how do I handle the sudden acceleration and lack of blinkers and lights? I have had ignition/starting issues for years now; I have them dealt with at the dealership on multiple occasions and have also spent money at a private garage to fix the "problems".

The vehicle shuts off while driving. Car just shuts off all power and the engine. It restarts after a few minutes. I have taken it to the dealer, but they have never been able to replicate it. It has happened over 30 times in the last few years. I purchased the vehicle as our family vehicle. However, in the past couple years my wife and I mostly juggle our other vehicle, especially with our small children. This last time it occurred was 9/09/2013 while on the freeway at a speed of 60mph. I narrowly escaped a potentially horrific accident with a couple eighteen wheelers. I pushed it off to the side of the road by myself. Eventually it started long enough to get to an offramp where it stopped again. It was towed and is now at the dealership. However, now I see by looking online that it is a common problem. I am astonished that Chrysler would allow this to be happening and knowingly put us all in danger.
