Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING, MY JEEP RENEGADE WILL JUST TURN OFF. I HAVE TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TRY TO RESTART THE CAR A COUPLE OF TIMES. THIS WILL CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT TO SOMEONE SOMEDAY. IT JUST SHUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING. IT'S A 2018 JEEP RENEGADE WITH 5K MILES! WHY WOULD IT JUST SHUT OFF? I WAS DRIVING BOTH TIMES THIS HAPPENED TO ME. ONCE LAST WEEK AND ONCE TODAY 12/26/2018. THE LIGHTS BLINK SAYING ENGINE SYSTEM/MAINTENANCE AND LOW OIL PRESSURE. I HAVE READ ONLINE THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH JEEP RENEGADES, BUT JEEP WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. HOW DOES THIS GET FIXED? SOMEONE COULD GET KILLED.
