My vehicle has stopped 3 times this year without warning. Twice while I was driving and once while my daughter was driving. There is a click sound and the radio and everything on in the vehicle goes. The vehicle begins to slow down. Luckly when this happened there were no cars around so each time we are able to stop the vehicle wait a second and start the vehicle without an issue. This is a very dangerous issue and this needs to be fixed ASAP.
Vehicle randomly shuts off while driving at any speed and the steering is lost. This happens while driving and has happened at 60mph as well as 35. There is no warning before it happens. Extremely dangerous.
Vehicle turns off while driving, loss of brakes, steering and propulsion is loss. Vehicle does this randomly and it is not the first time.
While driving the car the car looses the ability to steer and drops into neutral. The dealership swears that they can't duplicate the problem. I took it in for the n23 recall today and as I was driving into the dealership it happened again - yet they still couldn't duplicate the problem. Now I'm worried that my 4wd won't work.
Vehicle shut off while driving, key was in the on position suddenly shutoff causing no power steering, power brakes, instrument panel and gauges went to zero. Was able to restart after a few minutes. Drove home, went to start vehicle 1 hour later and nothing happened. This has happened before and is similar to several other complaints for this make and year. Chrysler has no recall or fix for this problem and is not willing to recognize it as a serious safety issue. Someone will be killed because of this or already has, dead people do not complain.
While driving the Jeep Grand Cherokee, the car completely turns off while in drive. Within seconds power steering is lost. This occurs without any initiating event and occurs at random. Most recently the issue occurred while driving at 65 mph. The car has been serviced 8 times, without anything being resolved.
