NHTSA Complaint #11067150 — 2017 JEEP COMPASS

02/05/2018......BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NOVEMBER 2017. TWICE ALREADY WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THROUGH RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC THE DASH DISPLAY STARTED FLASHING ERRATICALLY AND THE CAR LOST ALL POWER, A TOTAL SHUT DOWN. NO RADIO, NO DASH, NO BRAKES, NO STEERING. LUCKILY TRAFFIC WAS MOVING EACH TIME. AFTER APPROXIMATELY A CITY BLOCK THE CAR RESTARTS. DEALER TESTED THE CAR AND COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AFTER DRIVING IT 20 MILES WITH A COMPUTER CONNECTED. I FEEL THIS CAN BE LIFE THREATENING AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED BEFORE THE INEVITABLE HAPPENS. I HAVE 2 SMALL CHILDREN AND MY WIFE WITH ME MOST OF THE TIME. THEY RECOMMEND DRIVING IT TO SEE IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. I'M NO LONGER COMFORTABLE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE.
