I was driving and the following happened: Jeep completely died while driving, battery light illuminated & the screen displayed "place in p, then select gear", I attempted it but I had no power, no ability to steer or brake. I was also broken down in on coming traffic and wasn't able to move. I had to put in neutral and push my Jeep out of the middle of the hwy. I'm 26 and 5'4. I'm scared for my life. I cried all the way to work. All I could see was getting impaled by a driver, getting killed and risking losing my 2 year old son! I'm not happy, I'm scared for my life and I have no idea what to do or where to turn! the dealership isn't answering my calls or responding to any messages!.
On two occasions while flat towing the Jeep behind our RV the front end wobbled excessively and only stopped when we slowed to almost a stop. Both instances happened within 15 minutes of starting to travel in the morning and happened in construction zones where the pavement was rough. We had heard of this issue so we had the dealer install the mopar sterring harness when we bought the car. This was suppose to eliminate the problem but its clear it did not do so. After the last incident we took the car to a Jeep dealer who said the problem was the car battery and replaced it. I find it hard to believe that was the real cause since the battery was less than a year old. The dealer also showed us a notice recommending have a charger installed if towing the car more than 3 hours. (again, this doesn't account for our experiences since both of them occured within the first half hour).

While I was driving yesterday, my car died out on me. The car is only 6 months old. I was driving when the battery light began to flash and the car shut off on me. I had electrical power as the sterio was working, but the engine and power steering shut off without a check engine light. I was luckily able to coast into a parking lot and put the car in park. I �shut it off� pulled the key fob from the ignition and tried to restart it. It had difficulty turning over and about after 39 seconds it turned over and started. Then everything was normal. The car died out on me while going 45 miles per hour on a very busy street and I could barely turn the wheel to get into a parking lot. After this happened the car went back to normal and no warnings were displayed. I went to my uconnect app and it did not register the issue or say there was any issues on the car. If this happens on an expressway this can be deadly and it jeeds to be addressed!.

I have not even owned my vehicle a year now. I have never had an issue with steering shaking or pulling. I went to get my tires rotated for the first time at a local dealer and they stated the all 4 of my tires had all irregular wear on them on the inside of the tires only. It was believed to be a defect from the beginning with the alignment or another steering issue that has caused such irregular wear (including the rears). Per your warranty the tires are to be rotated every 6,000 miles. I had them rotated at 7,292 miles in which when brought into do a warranty claim Jeep claims that I didn't do the routine maintenance per the warranty claim so this would not be covered. My vehicle now has over 12,000 miles on it and was also told if it was an alignment issue that this is only covered until 12,000 miles. I am very unsatisfied with my warranty and do believe this was a defect with all 4 of my tires with such irregular wear.
When I cancel cruz control or press on my brake the vehicle revs up the the rpms go up.
