NHTSA Complaint #11331031 — 2017 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE

AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF WAS ENGAGED AT A RED LIGHT. RED LIGHT TURNED GREEN IN WHICH I PUT MY FOOT ON GAS TO ACCELERATE. VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE AND MESSAGE APPEARED ON DASH TO 'SHIFT VEHICLE INTO PARK'. I SHIFTED THE VEHICLE INTO PARK WHEN THE VEHICLE BECAME LOCKED IN PARK AND WOULD NOT SHIFT GEARS. ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND WOULD NOT RE START, LEAVING MY STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. AFTER SITTING IN THE ROAD FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES AND MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO RE START, THE VEHICLE FINALLY RE STARTED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE SHOP TO GET LOOKED AT, NO CODES ARE SHOWING ON THE COMPUTER AND ISSUE COULD NOT BE RE DUPLICATED. I HAVE SEEN SIMILAR ISSUES HAVE BEEN HAPPENING TO OTHERS. I CALLED JEEP CORPORATE WHERE THE GENTLEMAN TOLD ME TO 'RECORD EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS NEXT TIME AS IT'S HAPPENING'. THAT'S A WONDERFUL SUGGESTION AND ALL BY MY BIGGEST CONCERN WHEN THIS HAPPENS IS TO GET OUT OF THE ROAD AND NOT VIDEO WHAT IS HAPPENING, TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE FOR FEAR OF IT HAPPENING AGAIN AND POTENTIALLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. *TR
