NHTSA Complaint #10632088 — 2007 JEEP COMPASS

I WAS DRIVING INTO THE PARKING LOT AT WALMART AND THE CAR ACTUALLY TURNED ITSELF OFF. I COASTED INTO THE PARKING SPOT AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES. I TURNED THE IGNITION AGAIN AND THE CAR TURNED ON AND THEN TURNED BACK OFF. I CALL AAA AND THEY TOWED THE CAR TO NTB. THEY HOOKED THE CAR UP AND STATED THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM. THEY STARTED THE CAR AND IT STARTED FINE. AFTER I LEFT, I GOT MAYBE 3 MILES DOWN THE ROAD AND THE CAR TURNED OFF. I CALLED NTB AND THEY WERE ICE ENOUGH TO COME TO WHERE I WAS. THEY WERE ABLE TO START THE CAR; HOWEVER, AS SOON AS HE BACKED UP TO TURN AROUND THE CAR STALLED AGAIN. HE TOLD ME TO LEAVE THE CAR, BUT IT'S HARD TO DO THAT WHEN THEY THEMSELVES DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG AND HAVE NO CLUE AS TO THE COST. WE SAT FOR 10 MINUTES AND THE CAR STARTED WITH NO PROBLEM. I DROVE HOME WITH NO MORE INCIDENTS. FOR THE NEXT 4 DAYS NOTHING HAPPENED. ON THE 5TH DAY, IN TRAFFIC ON 459N WHICH IS HEAVY AND CRAZY, THE CAR JUST SHUT OFF AGAIN ALMOST CAUSING THE CAR BEHIND ME, WHO WAS TOO CLOSE ANYWAY, TO HIT ME. I PULLED OVER AND HAD THE CAR TOWED HOME WHERE IT'S SITTING NOW. I HAVE GONE OUT TO CRANK IT AND IT TURNS OVER, BUT I'M NOT DRIVING IT. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT THIS SATURDAY TO TAKE IT TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP ON GRANTS MILLS WAY TO SEE IF THEY CAN FIND EXACTLY WHAT'S WRONG WIT THIS DEATHTRAP. AFTER LOOKING AT FORUMS ONLINE, THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM. IT'S NOT JUST ME. *TR
