NHTSA Complaint #10158972 — 2005 JEEP LIBERTY

FAILURE TO START- USING KEY AND REMOTE STARTER. WHEN THE KEY WAS TURNED, IT WENT ALL THE WAY OVER AND THE ENGINE DID NOT CRANK, NO NOISES FROM BATTERY- JUST NOTHING. THIS OCCURRED TWICE OVER A TWO MONTH PERIOD, USUALLY AFTER ABOUT 15-20 MINUTES IT WOULD START. RECENTLY THE PROBLEM HAS PROGRESSED FROM FAILING TO START,TO THE BIGGER PROBLEM OF DYING WHEN IT IS RUNNING. THE VEHICLE WILL BE RUNNING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN DIES WITH NO WARNING. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS IT CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME, AT ANY SPEED. THE DEALERSHIP HAS HAD THE VEHICLE NOW FOR A WEEK AND CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE CAR HAS JUST OVER 14,000 MILES ON IT AND SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THESE PROBLEMS. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN MY OWN VEHICLE. *NM
