NHTSA Complaint #10733524 — 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE

I WAS DRIVING WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR AND WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED AND THEN SHUT DOWN. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED ON MY HAZARDS AND FEARED FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY BECAUSE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AGAIN. AFTER TRYING FOR 10 MINUTES THE VEHICLE STARTED AGAIN AND I WAS ABLE TO GET SAFELY OFF THE HIGHWAY. I IMMEDIATELY BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN TO THE NEARBY DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO ENGINE LIGHT AND NO INFORMATION IN THE DATABASE STATING SOMETHING WAS WRONG. THEY GAVE ME THE OKAY TO DRIVE THE CAR. THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN, THIS TIME I WAS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WHEN THE CAR JUST COMPLETELY STALLED AND SHUT DOWN. IT TOOK 15 MINUTES TO START BACK UP AGAIN THIS TIME. KNOWING THE DEALERSHIP WOULDN'T BELIEVE ME. I HAD SOMEONE FILM IT HAPPENING AGAIN WHILE DRIVING IN THE SAFETY OF A QUIET LOT. READING ABOUT ALL THE OTHER INSTANCES IN WHICH THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER OWNERS HAS ME VERY WORRIED ABOUT MY FAMILY'S SAFETY IN THIS CAR. I HAVE NO DESIRE TO DRIVE THIS CAR AGAIN EVEN IF THEY TELL ME IT IS COMPLETELY FIXED BECAUSE THEY CLEARLY HAVE NO IDEA WHY THIS IS HAPPENING OR HOW TO PERMANENTLY FIX THIS. I'M ASTOUNDED THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL YET. THIS IS CLEARLY A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.
