Engine Shut Off Without Warning problems of the 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee

When driving on the freeway and regular street, and going uphill, my Jeep's engine will stop running, the "d" on the dashboard blinks and the center of the dashboard says "shift to park". To get the Jeep's engine to start up again, I have to put it in park and restart it. Being that the Jeep does not run when this happens I am often stuck on the freeway or in the middle of traffic and can not pull over. This is extremely dangerous and I have come close to multiple accidents. The Jeep does not always start again. It will stutter and shut off multiple times. This has been happening for months. Dealership can not find any codes. They put a data recorder in the vehicle, the Jeep's engine shut down the same day I picked it up. When this happened I pressed the recorder button. It shut down multiple times in traffic with the recorder in and I pressed the button to record as directed. When I brought the Jeep back into the bob baker dealership, they said the data recorder said everything was normal. The Jeep shutting down while in motion and not turning back on, is not normal and is dangerous. I have been without my Jeep for 2 months with no solution in sight. This is a major safety problem that I have been fighting to get fixed with no resolution. I have been working with fca and they are not returning my calls and have no solutions. I am so disappointed and wish I never bought this Jeep. I have lost all confidence in this vehicle. I captured the problem happening on video and no one can explain what is happening nor fix it. This has been happening since August 2019. The last time it happened was the day I picked it up with the data recorder in it on November 22, 2019.

My car continues to stall and shut down while in motion. Extremely dangerous and terrifying when you're on a busy road and traveling at 30-35mph and you lose all power and your car stalls out. I have googled this issue and there are tons of complaints about this happening to many other people. Some while on highways. Some while at stop signs. We contacted our dealership yesterday and were told they can't see it for 2. 5 weeks, in the meantime just drive it. I don't think so. It is a deathtrap. I have a 17 year old daughter that I do not feel safe putting behind the wheel of this car, nor myself. My husband and I decided we would just drive it to the dealership anyway and we stalled out 7 times in less than a 1/4 of a mile. It was too dangerous at that point to drive the distance to the dealership so we turned around and got it back home. From what it looks like based on other complaints, people are being told they needed oil. We know for a fact ours does not. It's coming up on an oil change due date but my husband checked the oil status and we are not low, so that is not the issue. We told the dealership it is unsafe to drive and we need a loaner. He explained to us they don't give out loaners until they can run the diagnostics, in 2 weeks! I am terrified to drive this car. I stalled out 4 times the day before in traffic, in motion and at an intersection, with my children in the car! I have been stopped at a red light. I was crossing a bridge. I was in middle of making a bend. All of these instances, my car just shut down. The steering locks and I lose total power. After several attempts of trying to turn the car back on, it will eventually go, for now.

Vehicle comes to a stop and activates auto stop/start. When lifting foot of brake to proceed to a turn, the engine turns on, vehicle moves, then turns off displaying, �auto stop/start not available�, for approximately two and a half minutes, I was stuck in the middle of an intersection trying to turn over the car. Eventually after putting the vehicle in park, releasing the brake and turning off the vehicle completely, I pressed the brake and turned on the vehicle successfully. Numerous occasions of this very same incident have occurred in random. Random engine shut offs while in motion have occurred as well requiring the same steps listed above. Vehicle is equipped with this �eco technology� 100% of the time unless, a button is pressed to deactivate temporarily. (no way to permanently shutoff this feature, no solution from dealership. ).

2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee laredo shuts off while driving. First noticed about a month after driving it. Approx. Mileage about 5,000 on initial complaint; current mileage about 23,000. Vehicle will beep at you and dash will state "vehicle not in park". First time it occurred at night and I lost all exterior lights. Other times when engine shuts off it keeps radio and interior dash lights on. Multiple dealerships state that they cannot recreate the issue and that no codes are being stored. Chrysler hooked up a data recorder to the vehicle and stated nothing out of the ordinary showed up once it happened. Was also told that if vehicle lost all power during the incident, that the data recorder would not reflect those conditions. The company will not replace, repair, or buy back without a diagnosis. Huge safety concern for not only the passengers and driver, but also others on the road. If on a busy street it shuts off with no lights, there will be greater risk of causing an accident at speed. According to dealership reps, looked into push button controller and receiver, auto start/stop feature, key fobs, and engine fuel system. All open recalls have been performed on my Jeep. All recommended factory maintenance has been performed at the dealership. This is not the only issue recorded, but is the most serious due to life safety concerns.

Takata recall. Was driving with kids and wife I began coming to a stop and was going about 10 to 15 mph when the car stalled out. It shut off and the steering wheel locked up along with the break pedal was nonoe functional as well as the gas pedal and the gear shift. The car would not go back into park and left me in the middle of the road for about 4 minutes. I finally got it into park and then it wouldn't start for a few minutes. This all happened on a major highway in my area. It finally started and we took it to the dealership as it is pretty much brand new. (33k) on the vehicle. The dealership has ran test and has told me that there is a 2018 Jeep in the same place doing the same thing. We have had the car there for about a month and they say there is nothing wrong with it and now we have to come pic it up. Something is definitely wrong with the Jeep as we was in motion, coming to a stop and was not turning. I would say it's a life or death situation.
