NHTSA Complaint #11163928 — 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE

YESTERDAY MY JEEP ENGINE TURNED OFF TWICE WHILE DRIVING ON CITY ROADS. THIS HAPPENED IN THE MORNING ON MY WAY TO WORK AND AT NIGHT ON MY WAY HOME FROM DINNER. LUCKILY THIS HAPPENED ON CITY ROADS EITHER BEFORE GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY OR AFTER GETTING OFF THE HIGHWAY, AS I TAKE THE HIGHWAY DAILY FOR WORK. CONINCIDENTSLLY BOTH INSTANCES HAPPENED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO TURN RIGHT. I DID NOT HEAR THE ENGINE TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING, BUT NOTICED BECAUSE AS I WAS ATTEMPTING TO TURN THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING. THE RADIO, DASH AND INTERIOR LIGHTS NEVER FLICKERED OR TURNED OFF WHEN THE INGINE STALLED. AGAIN, LUCKILY I WAS NOT AT A HIGH SPEED WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND PUT ON MY HAZARDS AND WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY COME TO A STOP WITH THE BRAKES BUT THEY WERE VERY SLOW TO REACT. I PUT THE CAR BACK IN PARK AND STARTED IT RIGHT UP BOTH TIMES. VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE TO HAVE THE ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND PANIC TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT FROM OCCURRING.
