The front module is corrupt. It causing various electrical issue. Lights, blinkers, radio, speakers, dashboard displays, heating/cooling, are all inoperable. Jeep is claiming that this is not their responsibility. This part is not mechanical. I can understand wear and tear but this issue would be a faulty part not an issue of maintenance or the lack of. Without a recall, I am subject to expense that could end up costing me $1000 to $3000. I find this to be situation where jeep is taking advantage of their clientele. I have searched multiple forums and found this to be a re-occurring issue in many of jeeps models. This an injustice and unethical act upon the consumer. This issue has been escalating since 2012.

Intermittently but frequently the ABS and other dashboard lights come on and the car drags and stops in the middle of the road. Its very dangerous. Sometimes I cannot get the car to go without sitting and waiting for long periods of time. It has happened since I have owned it but no one can diagnose it and I don't know when it will happen.
In two different occasions during a full stop and second time will reducing speed to a stop 2006 jeep commander 5.7 hemi engine will stop running and loose all electrical power to the vehicle, power brake will become hard and also the steering. Vehicle's power will come back up after several tries in the ignition.
The vehicle has shut down on multiple occasions this week while both idling and when in transit. It caused a loss of steering capability and operation of the of the vehicle causing a safety issue. Calls have been made to both the dealership and the manufacturer without satisfactory resolution. The dealership acknowledged multiple complaints with the same issue.
The roof leaks and water falls on the driver while driving. The water accumulates and you can hear water shift from side to side while driving above your head. Seat belt does not work. Dashboard flashes.
We have called jeep to let them know what is going on with the vehicle. The computer to the transmission is putting in gears that are not correct. Sometimes u can let gas go and jeep will be running 20 to 30 miles on its own. Also yesterday I put the jeep on neutral and it went reverse real fast about 15 miles. The jeep was level so no excuse why it should be going backwards on neutral. I have called jeep and let them know and they tell me I have to take it to get fixed. I don't have the money to do this right now. This can really cause a accident if someone was in the back of my jeep at that time . I took it to get checked at auto zone and they told me it was factory codes and they could not help but what the truck was doing could be very dangerous.
The gauges stop working: all dashboard lights flash on & off-- ABS, traction control, check engine, airbags, etc-- speedometer & tachometer float up and down in-sync in a sporadic manner, temp gauge fails to register, turn signals/flashers/brake lights/headlights work intermittently, transmission shows all gears are engaged, throwing over 30 codes, but still drives perfectly functional mechanically. (I've even taken video to show mechanics when I get to dealership since it never does it while I'm there.) all the same symptoms, different fix each time. 4/11/13: powertrain control module replaced @94166 miles 4/29/13: ignition control replaced @95,824 miles 5/6/13: front control module replaced @96319 miles.
I explained the previous evening I noticed steering did not seem right and I had to push on gas more to get the car to have power. I mentioned this to my husband in case it was time to check spark plugs and get a tune up. The next morning I went through a car wash and started a 30 mile commute. While driving 65-70 MPH on a highway the vehicle lights and all power shut down without warning. The only thing working was the radio. No brakes, steering was different. Thankfully this time was able to pull to a shoulder and coast to an offramp. I coasted to a stop, put in park then tried to start. The vehicle started again and I drove straight to the dealership 4 miles away. I explained to the dealer and also called the maker of the vehicles recall dept. They opened a case. At this point no one has any idea what happened and the issue is intermittent. They cannot replicate and I have not had my car for 6 days. I have researched that I am not the only one this has happened to and most people become a middle man between the dealer, the warranty company, and no resolution is ever made. Many became frustrated and sold and cut their losses. They continued to drive the vehicle and it continued to happen. I am not clear on the statistics but I read one blog that stated this incident has caused 2 accidents. I have survived cancer and I have 3 chilldren. I cannot consiously drive the vehicle again. I am thankful this did not happen driving uphill on a dark mountainside. We had planned a trip to la that had to be cancelled due to lack of safety. I am starting an uphill battle or I will be forced to sale. If so many people have had this issue since 2006 why hasn't there been a resolution. People get the computer fixed only for it to happen again which tells me the computer itself is faulty. I am not sure what to do and I am desperate to resolve the situation. It will put us in danger.
While driving my car it simply cut off - went dead. I had to pull off the road with no power steering. This is the second time this has happened with this vehicle. Once off the road - I am able to put the car in park and restart. This happens for no reason. I have had the car in the shop several times with no explanation what is happening.
I am having trouble with my head lights flashing and my dash board flashing on and off and it is very dangerous when it happens at night bcz my lights go on and off making it hard to drive and to focus on the road.my seat belts falling apart and not wanting to latch and is hard to get it apart when it does.not sure what is going on but any helpful advise would be appreciated.
