Consumer Description

OUR 2015 JEEP PATRIOT 4WD IS SHUTTING OFF RANDOMLY WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING IT!! IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING IT WILL JUST RANDOMLY SHIFT OFF WITHOUT WARNING! ALL THE LIGHTS WILL TURN ON THEN THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF SOMETIMES IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC!! THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS IT IS PUTTING NOT ONLY OUR LIVES AT RISK FOR A CRASH BUT ALSO THOSE DRIVERS AROUND US AS WELL. ONCE THE CAR SHUTS ITSELF OFF IT WILL NOT TURN ON FOR 30 MINUTES OR SO LEAVING US STRANDING SOMETIMES IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC EVEN!! WE HAVE A 4 YEAR OLD THAT IS IN THE CAR WITH US MOST OF THE TIME WHEN THIS IS HAPPENING AS WELL AND IS PUTTING HER LIFE AT RISK OF A SERIOUS CRASH AS WELL!! THE 2016 JEEP PATRIOT HAS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM THAT OUR 2015 IS HAVING! IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE PAST YEAR AND CONTINUES TO HAPPEN MORE FREQUENTLY ONCE EVERY 2 WEEKS NOW. *TR
