| My front brakes locked up while driving on the freeway the first time 11/4/10. i was told from the dealership that they could not duplicate this issue, but got an error from the car that said the front right wheel was going faster then all the rest of the tires and the abs activated and locked up the front wheels. this happened again 12/15/10 and the abs, slippery when wet, esp, bas, and service 4 wheel drive lights came on. the dealership tested it again and got the same error message. they replaced the sensor on the front right passenger wheel, and stated that this may have fixed it, but that they are not 100% sure how to fix the issue. i believe this is simliar to recall 06v493000. i have also filed a claim with chrysler. no one will help me. i am afraid for my safety as well as my families in this car. i can not afford a continuous rental or to purchase a new car. i am now out time loss at work, car rental, towing, and costly repairs. please help me. | |||

| 07 jeep commander w/ < 30k miles, shuts off while driving. various speeds, various gears, various gas levels, various terrains. truck has done this +/- 5x's over the course of the last 7 mos. no indicator light, no warning. results in complete loss of power steering & power brakes requiring the need to coast in neutral to safe location and ultimately pulling the emergency brake to come to complete stop. trouble then getting jeep into park for a restart. jeep has been in dealer shop for each instance to no avail, dealer cannot solidify problem. 1st diagnosis was shift module; 2nd diagnosis was shift module 3rd diagnosis was upgrade to software for shift module; 4th diagnosis was low transmission fluid. dealer is empathetic, chrysler is not. chrysler issued us a check for the amount of 2 lease payments but has not remedied problem. *tr | |||

| Brakes failed twice since purchasing vehicle in april. once with my wife driving and once with me which i will describe here: driving uphill at about 35 mph and traffic light at top of hill turned red. removed right foot from accelerator and pushed on brake pedal. the pedal felt very stiff and did not travel the normal distance. brakes did not engage regardless of how hard i pressed on pedal. had to swerve to shoulder. after about 3 seconds the brakes kicked in my locking up all 4 tires. *jb | |||

| Braking capability -- seemingly in front end of vehicle -- is diminished by apparent warping of front brake rotors. this became first noticeable to me at approx just 15k miles. jeep (daimlerchrysler) wants no part of repair (warranty exp at 12k miles, they say). independent repair shop informs me that this is chronic problem with jeeps. i complained to daimlerchrysler via latter in march; they declined to help via letter dated april 10, 2007. | |||
