Consumer Description
When I was driving all a sudden it started having a weird chugging feeling. I was going 40 MPH. Then when I got to a stop sign, my vehicle completely shut off. I have to hit the button to turn back on as it was not the Auto Start and stop feature. I made it home and as I pulled into my driveway it shut off again. When I start it, just it warming up it shuts off. When I come to a stop sign or traffic light it shuts up in the middle of the intersection. All while this is happening the emergency brake flips on without me turning it on. I have to wait 2 weeks to have it looked at by the Jeep Dealership. My safety and daughters safety was put at Risk because anyone behind us could hit right into the back of us while it malfunctions or oncoming traffic could hit us while it stalls while turning in a turning lane. I did take it to a repair shop and they couldn’t pull any codes as it was locked out but it was reproduced and shown to them the malfunction. There have been no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of problem prior to the failure besides 2 months ago, I was reversing slowly out of a parking spot at Maverick and it felt like something hit the back of my jeep. But no one had. Not sure if this has anything to do with the problem occurring now. Both very concerning. Miles at that time was 34056 and miles as this issue happening is 37000.
