I recently purchased a new 2006 Jeep Commander limited. The vehicle currently has less than 6000 miles. Over the past few months the Jeep has unexpectedly stalled at least 7 times. One particular stall happened while pulling into a busy street and nearly resulted in a collision. I want to return the vehicle but the dealership will not take it back. I purchased the Jeep for my wife to drive and she takes our 2 children with her in the vehicle. I am very concerned about them being injured or more even more serious consequences as a result of the Jeep stalling. My goal is to receive a full refund or to have the vehicle replaced with same make, model, etc with an engine that is mechanically sound and does not stall. What are my options?

1) 2006 Jeep Commander began stalling just weeks after purchasing it. The vehicle has stalled about 10 times in 12 months. 2) the vehicle completely stalls while driving (usually while in the process of slowing down), or when coming to stop or when beginning to go. This has happened in parking lots, intersections, as well as driving on busy roads. Luckily the cars behind put on their brakes before rear-ending my car. However, the result could easily be an accident - which I am trying to prevent. 3) brought the vehicle two times to the dealership where it was purchased. I was told that while they and Chrysler are aware, they have not come up with a fix for the problem because they do not know what is causing it. I also called Chrysler's customer service number and was told that I had to get a second opinion but there was nothing else they could do because the problem has not been diagnosed.

Purchased 2006 Commander in May 2006. The day I drove it off the lot I heard wind noise. It has since been in for repairs 4 times, including removing the dash which now has left me with a squeaky dashboard. Have contacted the district manager, who wants one more chance, called Corp Chrysler hq who opened a file & then closed it without verifying my satisfaction, have reopened a file with Chrysler, tried to speak with a service manager at the 800 customer service number and was refused.

Vehicle completely stalls and shuts down while driving...no matter what speed. It happened to me at 45 mph as well as 25 mph. When this happens there also is no steering.....almost got into a serious car accident due to this repeated problem. Have taken to get serviced and they can not find anything wrong.
