NHTSA Complaint #11277786 — 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE

AS I APPROACHED AN INTERSECTION AND PUSHED ON THE BREAKS THE CAR STALLED OUT. WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR IT STALLED OUT AGAIN WHEN I TRIED TO BREAK A SECOND TIME. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 4 TIMES. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED, THE CAR STALLED OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF A MAIN ROADWAY AS I APPROACHED A RED LIGHT; I WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED. I TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR. ONCE I GOT IT RESTARTED I TRIED TO PUT IT IN GEAR AND THE CAR BUCKET AND STALLED OUT AGAIN. I TRIED A NUMBER OF TIMES TO RESTART THE CAR AND EVENTUALLY GOT IT STARTED. I EVENTUALLY GOT IT INTO GEAR AND STARTED TO DRIVE OFF THE ROADWAY. THE CAR DROVE VERY JITTERY AND WITH LITTLE TO NO POWER. MOST WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON - 4WD INOPERABLE; PUT CAR INTO GEAR AND RESTART, SERVICE TRANSMISSION, TRACTION CONTROL PROBLEM, BATTERY PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD IT TO TWO DEALERSHIPS. ONCE SAID IT WAS THE BATTERY; I REPLACED IT. THE OTHER FIRST SAID IT WAS OIL CONSUMPTION WITH THE ENGINE BUT WHEN THAT TURNED OUT NOT TO BE THE CASE THE DEALERSHIP AND CHRYSLER/JEEP ARE TELLING ME THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM DUE TO OVERFILLING THE GAS AND THAT THE ONLY FIX IS NOT TO TOP OFF THE GAS TANK. REALLY? THIS ONLY STARTED AT @ 42,000 MILES. ALSO, I DON'T THINK THE GAS WAS TOPPED OFF EACH TIME THIS HAPPENED. I ALSO LIVE IN A STATE WHERE YOU CANNOT PUMP YOUR OWN GAS SO IF THE GAS STATION PUTS TOO MUCH GAS IN THE CAR STALLS AND CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD? HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH GAS? THERE IS NOTHING IN THE CAR MANUAL. THERE IS NO WARNING IN AND AROUND THE GAS TANK. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM AND CAUSES A VERY DANGEROUS CAR TO OPERATE. THERE EITHER NEEDS TO BE A REAL FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM OR THE CARS NEED TO BE TAKEN OFF THE ROAD. *LN*DT*JB
