Consumer Description
On 7/29/2021, approximately 2pm, driving on Front Hall Rd. leading to our home. Reduced speed to between 15/20 MPH in order to slow down and prepare to turn right into our driveway. Suddenly, the engine shutdown. I had no brakes or power steering. The car came to a stop on its own, since nothing was working. A sign on the computer screen can on stating to put the car in park and restart the car. About an hour later I got the car to service department at I-10 Jeep, Ram dodge in Indio CA.. Today I called to get an update on my car. They said, service was calling Chrysler about the problem. They also said, one of their manager was driving a new grand cherokee L mode like mine and he had same problem with the engine shutting down. They did a computer update on his car, but it continued with engine shut down on test driving it. They advised that a factory rep. would be at the dealership on August 2nd or 3rd to review the problem. This is a serious safety concern when the engine shuts down while moving. Luckily, I wasn't traveling at a higher speed in heavy traffic when the engine shut down occurred. My car has below 400 miles. I purchased the car on July 15, 2021.
