Consumer Description

I PURCHASED MY JEEP USED IN APRIL OF 2019. ON 2 OCCASIONS SO FAR, WHILE COMING TO A STOP THE ENGINE CUTS OUT. IT TAKES ABOUT 10-15 MINUTES TO GET IT RESTARTED. THIS HAS HAPPENED BOTH TIMES WHILE STOPPING AT A LIGHT IN BUSY TRAFFIC. I HAVE SEEN OVER 30 COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM ON WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM. ALL REPORTED STALLING OUT WHILE DECELERATING THE VEHICLE. SOME REPORTED THAT IT STALLS WHILE DECELERATING WHILE TAKING A RIGHT TURN, FOR EXAMPLE, WHILE ENTERING A HIGHWAY OFF-RAMP. THE FIRST TIME MY CAR STALLED I WAS NOT TURNING. THE SECOND, I WAS DECELERATING WHILE TAKING A RIGHT TURN. THIS CAUSES A HUGE SAFELY CONCERN THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY JEEP. MY CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 65K MILES.
