This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The contact owns a 2007 Jeep Commander. The contact stated that while driving 60 mph, the ABS, esp and the slippery when wet warning lights illuminated. She then attempted to accelerate when the driver side rear wheel suddenly locked and began to exhibit an unusual grinding noise. The vehicle was towed to the dealer who had not yet contacted her back with a diagnosis. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 53,800.
The brake system would lock up at high speeds, drivable and you feel the friction and it's like a tugging effect until you brake and then it would be completely fine. This first happened back in June of 2007. I brought the car in to have the dealer look at the problem as soon as it happened. They said everything was fine and they couldn't find anything wrong, nothing showed up on their tests. This brake problem happened occasionally through the year with no warning light appearing on the panel and it was brought to the dealers attention and always the same result, nothing they can find in their tests. But lately this brake problem was happening more frequently, more random and progressive and again was brought to the dealers attention, 3 different dealers in fact. And still nothing they can find.
