On January 22, 2021 at 0645hrs, I was driving on a city street in queens NY and while stopped at a steady red light my vehicle stalled. When the traffic light turned green I noticed on the dashboard read �shift to p� and I had to shift to park, press engine start, shift to drive and continue on my way home. This is the second time that this happened.
28000 miles +\- driving car on freeway in high speed lane in las 405 - the most traveled highway in the us, and the car slowed to a dead stop. Complete loss of acceleration. All electrical still working, lights, dash, radio. Would turn over but would not start. Hour earlier car was idling and idled to a stall. All electrical still working. Police had to come and stop traffic to wait for a flatbed.
I was at a red stop light and when the light turned green I lifted my foot off the brake and onto the gas pedal and realized my 2016 Grand Cherokee would not move and had completely stalled. I checked to make sure the gear was not in neutral and read an error message on the dash that said something along the lines of �shift the gear into park and then into desired gear. � I could not put the car into drive and had to completely shut of my vehicle and restart it to get it into drive. I was lucky that it was late at night and not many people were around although one person came speeding up behind me and had to switch lanes to not hit me, even came with a not so friendly honk. I have heard of many other people experiencing this exact same situation including while driving at high speeds on the highway and taking turns in busy traffic. This is a very dangerous scenario and I am surprised it has not yet led to a fatal accident.
I purchased my Jeep used in April of 2019. On 2 occasions so far, while coming to a stop the engine cuts out. It takes about 10-15 minutes to get it restarted. This has happened both times while stopping at a light in busy traffic. . Read more...
Took several times to disengage the cruise control even after having new software update installed.
While driving and turning in driveway it stalled on three occasions, wait ten seconds, put it in park and it starts up. Been in the dealership (williamsburg va Jeep invoice # 150495&151000) twice, contacted Jeep customer care (cast #58123405) to no avail. Dealership stated the only way to correct the problem would be a process of elimination and that would have to be authorized by Jeep, which it wasn't.

The automatic engine off is a hazard, I tried to pull out in traffic the vehicle stalled to go, when it did finally go, it was too late, but it jerked into motion and then stalled again once I stepped on the break, this placed me in a very bad spot. It took a full restart to get my car started again. This is so dangers! I tried to remember to turn it off when I get in however this is a new car for me so I don't always remember until it goes into it sleep mode. This feature should be replaced with something more reliable or permanently disabled. I plan to have it look at when I go for my oil changed. The stall has happen twice now.
As I exited off the parkway I came to a red traffic light on the exit ramp. When the light turned green, my car would not accelerate. The engine light came on, and then it would not even let me shift gears. The lights and windows worked, but the engine and the heat did not. This exact same thing happened to me three months ago (same scenario, car stalled after the first traffic light coming off the parkway, engine light came on, etc. Everything exactly the same) , and at that time the dealer said that a computer error showed that it was the alternate battery that died so they replaced it. But this last time, they told me that there was no "computer error" and they got the car to accelerate so there was nothing that they could fix. I begged them to call the manufacturer or to ignore the fact that there was no computer error (suppose the computer was wrong?) but they denied me and were adamant that without a computer error code there was nothing they could do and they would not call anyone. In both instances, I was on a major road with a curve/offramp and it was extremely dangerous since even with my hazards on, cars were seeing me too late and almost hitting me.
