Car stalls\stops while driving whether driving straight or making turns. Very dangerous.

3 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 12/24/2018

I was driving down interstate 75 on christmas eve with my partner and our dog when my vehicle completely stalled. Luckily, we were able to pull over to the side of the road but it was terrifying due to the abruptness of the stall and the vehicles behind us still going a normal speed. We had it towed to the dealership where I bought it 3 months prior and they diagnosed the issue as the wiring harness for the cps. To make matters worse, the dealership insisted on charging $305 for the part and labor. Overall, this has been an extremely disappointing experience with Jeep due to the terrifying experience on the interstate and the price gouging by the dealership. I will be working to sell this Jeep as soon as possible.

4 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 11/20/2018

My vehicle has been stalling as of the last week. Less than 36,000 miles. It happens at a complete stop or driving down the road. I was entering the flow of traffic making a left hand turn from a complete stop and my car stalled in the middle of the road. I had to pull over and restart my car. I brought it to my local dealer where this was purchased as they had previously told me there was a recall for the same issue and needed a software update. But when they ran my VIN they told me they made a mistake. This is a real safety issue!!! my dealer made the issue even worse, finally they supposedly made some updates and sent me on my way. Thinking the issue was all set. Wrong the following day I had the same issue and continue to have this issue. How do I get my vehicle included in the recall???.
