NHTSA Complaint #11490713 — 2021 JEEP WRANGLER

I was driving my 21 4xe on e-save mode with a quarter tank of gas left and about quarter of my battery life left when it suddenly powered down while driving. I had my ten year old son with me when the Jeep suddenly shut down in the middle of the street without warning. Seconds before shutting down the “D” light on the shifter started blinking, a red battery indicator flashed on the screen and then it was dead. I moved to the far tight lane as fast as I could. Although I was able to get over, it still died in the middle of moving traffic. I almost had a wreck! Called roadside assistance and waited 45min for a battery jump. They came but the jump did not work. All the lights came on but my jeep would not start. Had to wait another hour and a half for a special tow because it wouldn’t go into neutral. Finally, the police showed up because we were impeding traffic and I was then able to get a tow after 2 1/2 hrs in the middle of traffic with my son At Night! Eventually we had it towed back home because it was so late. But now I have to have it towed to the dealership I purchased from which is 45min away. So frustrating! Everything was fine, no warnings until seconds before powering down.
