NHTSA Complaint #11277450 — 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE

I BOUGHT MY JEEP ON DECEMBER 12, 2018 FROM JT'S JEEP IN LEXINGTON SC. AT ROUGHLY 400 MILES, THE START/STOP SYSTEM LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND DISPLAYED A MESSAGE FOR SERVICE.I PARKED THE JEEP AND SHUT IT OFF, AND RESTARTED. WORKED FINE AFTER THAT. AT ROUGHLY 1,600 MILES, IT DID THE SAME THING AGAIN. SAME PROCEDURE. WENT AWAY. AT 7,500 MILES I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE AND THEY CHECKED AND SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. AT 8000 MILES I WAS MERGING ONTO THE INTERSTATE IN COLUMBIA SC AND STARTED TO ACCELERATE AND IT LOST ALL POWER; POWER STEERING, ACCELERATION, BRAKING, AND DISPLAYED A MESSAGE OF "ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAULT" I MANAGED TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD AND RESTARTED, DROVE TO GA FINE. I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER HERE IN GA, THEY KEPT IT AN ENTIRE WEEK AND CLAIMED NOTHING WAS WRONG. BUT THAT THEY FIXED A RECALL THAT WOULD REMEDY THE ISSUE. IT HAS NOT. IT HAS DONE THIS AGAIN AND AGAIN, SOMETIMES COMPLETELY LOCKING DOWN, OTHER TIMES JUST ILLUMINATING THE AUTO START STOP SERVICE LIGHT. I AM TERRIFIED OF MY VEHICLE. I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW BECAUSE I NEEDED A SAFE, RELIABLE VEHICLE. IT HAS BEEN ANYTHING BUT. IT CURRENTLY HAS JUST OVER 10,000 MILES. I HAVE PHOTOGRAPHIC PROOF OF THE TIMES IT HAS WENT HAYWIRE.
