My 2006 Jeep commander keeps dying when I'm driving it! I have taken it to the dealership many times over the last 2 years and they tell me there is nothing that can be done because they can't "duplicate my problem". I have filed for the lemon law and my hearing is tomorrow. I hope to get out of this vehicle before disaster strikes my family or another texas family that may be on the road the same time I am.
