NHTSA Complaint #11543053 — 2023 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 4XE

The engine shuts down while driving. There was a recall on 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L, there’s a current recall on 2023 Jeep Wrangler xe, and now my Jeep Grand Cherokee xe is experiencing the same malfunction. This is extremely dangerous since the vehicle loses power and comes to a stop while in the middle of driving. I came very close to being rear ended on 2 occasions. I had a service appointment with the Jeep dealership today and they confirmed that they were able to reproduce this today, so thankfully my vehicle will get fixed. No warnings appear on the vehicle’s display when this occurs. You have no warning and the vehicle simply stops. When this happens, I’ve been able to turn my car off and then back on again and it starts running again. This is an extremely dangerous flaw. I feel that it’s Jeeps responsibility to keep their customers safe by inspecting all similar vehicles to ensure that they are not selling a death trap to an unsuspecting customer. My vehicle is only 2 months old. In addition to this issue, I have had my air conditioner not cool when turned on, the navigation system refreshes over and over, the auto interior lights on the car brighten rather than dim when it’s dark, and the vehicle is already shifting rough. I have read that Jeeps are notorious for transmission issues. Unfortunately, I learned these thing after purchasing the $60,000 vehicle. I urge everyone who reads this to please research your vehicles (past and present models) to ensure you are making a safe decision prior to making a purchase. What I have read on Jeeps is truly eye opening. I would have never purchased this vehicle or any other Jeep, Chrysler, Dodge, or Fiat vehicles had I known prior. These are all made by Chrysler and all have similar issues. I really hope this message brings light to this widespread issue in the attempt to save lives.
