NHTSA Complaint #10788367 — 2011 JEEP LIBERTY

ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS, OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST 5 MONTHS, MY JEEP HAS JUST RANDOMLY QUIT (ENGINE STALLED). THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD -(TWICE ON A FREEWAY, ONCE ON A SURFACE STREET)- ALL THE DASH INDICATOR LIGHTS HAVE COME ON AND MY JEEP ENGINE HAS JUST QUIT. I'VE BEEN VERY LUCKY THAT I WAS NOT IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT INCIDENT. AFTER A COUPLE OF ATTEMPTS, I WAS ABLE TO RESTART MY JEEP. THERE IS NO WARNING TO THIS RANDOM STALLING, NO SPUTTERING, NO LOSS OF POWER, IT JUST QUITS WITH NO INDICATION. MY MECHANIC STATES THAT THIS DUE TO A DEFECTIVE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE THAT IS CURRENTLY ON A NATIONWIDE BACKORDER. THERE ARE 18 ORDERS IN FRONT OF MINE FROM MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP (THAT'S JUST ONE DEALERSHIP). THIS DEFECTIVE COMPONENT CAUSES YOUR VEHICLE TO RANDOMLY STALL OUT WHILE DRIVING - POTENTIALLY PUTTING MYSELF OR OTHERS IN DANGER OF AN ACCIDENT. I'M TOLD IT COULD BE WEEKS OR MONTHS BEFORE THIS PART IS AVAILABLE, SO EVERY TIME I GET IN MY JEEP I WONDER: "WILL THIS BE THE DAY THAT I GET IN AN ACCIDENT" OR WILL SOMEONE ELSE GET SERIOUSLY HURT BY HITTING ME? HOW MANY OTHERS ARE THINKING THE SAME THING? 100'S - 1000'S? I CAN'T AFFORD TO RENT A CAR FOR AN UNDETERMINABLE AMOUNT OF TIME, SO I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE THIS VERY UNSAFE VEHICLE AND RISK MY LIFE AND THE LIFE OF OTHERS ON A DAILY BASIS.
