Anyway, Just wondering if anyone has had any luck with a fix yet. I mentioned all the forums about the problem to the dealership and they said that it doesn't matter cause they don't know if it's the same problem.
Thanks for any advice!
I did have this stalling problem with my 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4wd v6 now that I think about it...it happened when I went from 65MPH to a turning speed to take a corner. It was very dangerous as other vehicles were following. I have to admit I love the way Jeep looks and feels. I just wish they could figure out their kinks before sending the vehicle out. They had a lot of problems with the new body Jeep Grd Chk's coming out in 1999. That was why I waited until 2003 to buy once they had worked out all of the problems.
Overall, I have to say I have driven many vehicles and I bought this one because it was such a good deal and pretty too... I do prefer the Toyota 4Runner mechanically. the 4Runner just didnt have the standard 3rd row seat. It was 1000x quieter and smoother to drive. Just costs more for even the base model. Sometimes we sacrifice.
Thanks

We have owned German cars for years any have not bought american because of lacking quality. (currently looking to trade an ML320 that now has just turned 100,000 miles. Until just recently it has been very trouble free and a nice car all around. We were thinking of just getting something different and the Jeep looked nice. We are also looking at the Lexus GX470, the X5, the Hummer and the LR3 does anyone have any feedback on any of them?
Thanks
What exactly are you doing when the car stalls? What is the ambient temp? How fast are you going etc? What indicator lights are on? Does the dash go out as well? Have you read about the possibility of your knee hitting the ignition switch or key?
Thanks

Honestly, I have a loaded 06 Commander it has been in for service countless times for stalling!!! They send it back to me EVERYTIME with NOTHING done!
Midway Jeep is no help and I think they are bunch of buffoons , not to mention SO clueless.
There are times when it happens I think I will be rear ended! This is a car I will not ever buy again or any car from that for that matter .
I just got it from Midway Friday and it stalled again on Sunday.... just called the service manager (7am Monday)he said there is nothing he can do!!! Are you kidding me???
Does anyone out there have any ideas for me. He claimed that I was the only one that has had this problem.... sure---I told him to read this link his reply was he doesn't have time for that. Sure I guess when you are busy doing nothing!!
Anyway..... any ideas!????? :lemon: :lemon: :lemon: :lemon: :lemon:
If you think they are a bunch of buffoons, go to a different dealer. Any Chrysler dealer can service your car, not just the one that sold it to you. Second, ask them to put a data recorder in the car and you can push a button when it stalls. That way, the dealer can look at what was happening when it did stall.

Unfortunately my service company will not call another state to figure out how other dealers are trying to fix this problem like the one blog suggested.
SHOULD I BE CONCERNED ABOUT STALLING. THIRD ROW IS OK FOR 3 AND 5 YR OLD GRANDS. CERTAINLY NOT MUCH STORAGE, I LIKED THE RIDE AND THE FEEL. WHAT IS THE BEST PRICE FOR THIS SUV?

This particular forum is for 2006 XK Commanders, not 1995 Laredos. Your issues are completely different from most reported here. Your car is 12 years old and has technology from that era. It shouldn't be hard to diagnose your bucking concerns if you take it to a competent tech. Smelling fumes may mean there are other things that need to be looked at. Has it been in the shop recently to be checked over?

The only option that I know we can try is to report the problems to the National Highway Safety Patrol/Commission. I think if they get enough complaints, the have to recall the Jeep. Either way, we are all out the money, because all a recall will do is mean they have to fix the problem. We are currently in the same bad financial situation with our car - we still owe $27,000 and it's a year old. We talked about trying to sell it ourselves, but why would people do that when they can buy a new one for 0% financing at a dealership. I am definitely going back to foreign made cars after I get rid of this...I had a Sienna before and it had one problem in 7 years....it was a recall regarding oil sludge, they fixed it and that was it....Good Luck everyone!
First - She was turning into a parking lot doing off of a busy street and nearly hit another vehicle when she lost PS & PB - The car is at the dealership now. I can tell you if anything happens to my family due to Jeep ignoring this issue, I will spend my life letting people know how negligent they are.
Secondly - Has anyone heard that this may be an electrical issue? We have also had the AC working intermittenly and "Service 4x4" light come on.
The irony is that I really do like the car- but I will not endanger my family's life.
I did get the car back from the dealership. He had indicated that they have seen this a few times. But just like everyone else there were no codes and of course it could not be reproduced. They did swap out the ignition switch, which he said seems to have been successful in the past.
P.S. There were too other organizations with my state that I was told to call, I am sure they are in each state, so let me know if you need more info.
