Erie, pa 11/3/08 search under rumsey, joann the newspapers describe it all and pictures speak a thousand words. This 2007 jeep commander crashed by stalling at a high speed claiming the lives of a young woman 40 years old and her 2 children who were 4 yrs old and 18 months old. Please search and review this incident before selecting to put your family in a brand new jeep vehicle. A 5 star crash rating will not do much good if the vehicle stalls at a high speed and the driver is unable to control such vehicle.

Stalling with very rough idling while brake applied. I pulled over opened the hood and there was smoke and burning smell.

The tire-pressure-monitor system has been defective since the purchase of my jeep. My jeep service-center has attempted many times to correct the problem with no success. Since the jeep tpm system is reporting bogus information, the tpm error messages are useless. Therefore the entire tpm system is useless and not operating as required by the national highway traffic safety administration (NHTSA), DOT., 49 cfr parts 571 and 585, [docket no. NHTSA 2005-20586], rin 2127-aj23
