What owners wrote
2007 jeep commander (purchased used in the fall of 2012): as I was pulling out of a parking lot, the car abruptly sped up, causing me to lose control. I crashed into an utility pole directly across from the parking lot exit as a result. The car is now totaled and the utility pole was damaged (leaning over). I traveled approximately 26 feet, at a speed high enough to create that amount of damage. As someone who has driven professionally for many years, this was unnerving and unusual.
Vehicle was traveling at a speed of sixty five MPH on the highway, when the engine just shut off, losing power and making it very hard to get the vehicle off the road and stopped safely. This has happened numerous times in the year we have owned the vehicle. When the engine shuts off it makes it very hard to turn because power steering is disabled because the engine is not running.
