That is an odd one. Would almost think when the car hunches that particular way, something electrical is loosing contact.
Welcome to the forum, by the way

I would take it back to the dealer and get someone from the garage to ride with you for a few blocks and make it do it. Sometimes, you have these shops in dealers where mechanics get lazy and nearly everything thats brought in is "I can't replicate your problem", unless its something simple like an oil change. But if it happens when they're riding with you, then they know darn well it happens and they have to fix it.

I have the autostick, but I also had the same problem when turning. I was unable to pick up speed for a second or two. It happened two or three times from what I remember, but I don't know what caused it.

I see on the Jeep Commander site they have a similar problem and they have all started filing a complaint with NHTSA
