What owners wrote
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 jeep commander 4x2. The contact stated that the vehicle stalls when driving at 5 MPH. The failure has occurred twice. While pulling out of a parking lot, the vehicle appeared as if it would stall. The contact applied the brakes and crashed into the side of another vehicle. A police report was filed. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer who stated that she was not applying enough in order to keep it from stalling.
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.
