NHTSA Complaint #11252986 — 2018 JEEP RENEGADE

AT 19700 MILES I WAS DRIVING HOME (50 MILES) IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD MY ENGINE STALLED AND THEN COMPLETELY STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. CAUSING THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME TO SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES TO AVOID FROM HITTING ME. I WAS NOT FAR FROM HOME AND WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO START UP AFTER PUTTING IT IN PARK. I WENT LESS THEN 3 MILES AND THE ENGINE STALLED AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY HIGHWAY. RIGHT BEFORE IT STALLED THE DRIVE LIGHT FLASHED A FEW TIMES BEFORE CUTTING OFF. I PUT IT IN PARK PUT MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON AND WAS ABLE TO GET IT STARTED AGAIN AND SAFELY PARKED IT. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO HAD WONDERFUL SERVICE DEPARTMENT BUT I WAS A LITTLE UPSET WHEN TOLD IT WAS PROBABLY A FLUKE. THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO AFTER THEY COULD NOT GET THE VEHICLE TO DUPLICATE WHAT IT HAD PREVIOUSLY DONE. I KNOW THIS IS PROBABLY STANDARD BUT I'M SINCERELY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND WHAT I CAN DO IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN WITHOUT THE DEALER BEING ABLE TO DUPLICATE IT. *TR
