NHTSA Complaint #11278651 — 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE

THE 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND I PURCHASED TWO YEARS AGO HAS STARTED TO COMPLETELY STALL WHILE DRIVING CAUSING THE POWER STEERING TO NOT FUNCTION AS WELL AS THE BRAKES. THIS ENGINE POWER TURNS OFF RANDOMLY AT AROUND 10-15 MPH (WHEN MAKING TURNS, STOPPING AND/OR ACCELERATING) BUT THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHTS THAT APPEAR ON THE DASH. ALL ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE CAR STILL FUNCTIONS AND THE ENGINE STALL IS NOT NOTICEABLE UNTIL APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES OR TRYING TO STEER THE WHEELS. THE FIRST INCIDENT WAS (EASTER) 28 APRIL 2019. THE CAR SHUT OFF AROUND 10 MILES PER HOUR AS I MADE A LEFT TURN CROSSING THE INCOMING LANE INTO A PARKING LOT. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO CAR COMING OR A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WOULD HAVE RESULTED. THE FREQUENCY OF THESE TYPES OF STALLS HAVE BECOME GREATER. THEY ARE HAPPENING AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK WITHOUT ANY TYPE OF WARNING. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT WAS NOVEMBER 7TH 2019. THIS VEHICLE WAS RELEASED FROM THE DEALERSHIP ON NOVEMBER 1ST, 2019. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES TO FIND THE PROBLEM AS WELL AS MAINTENANCE. NOTHING HAS BEEN FOUND THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THE VEHICLE IS PERFECTLY FINE. AS SIMPLE TEST DRIVE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM.THIS IS THE SAME CONCERN AS FCA RECALL T59 AND NHTSA RECALL # 17V-572.
