Description of the problem | New 2015 jeep cherokee latitude with 4k miles on it suddenly turned itself off while driving down the road. No warning other than a message on the dash to put the car in park to change gears. Very dangerous, lost control of power steering, gas and brakes. Was able to put car in park on side of road, restart it and get home. It happened again the next morning and was towed to dealership. Service dept. Ran all updates and the car shut off on them while testing it too. Has been in the shop for 2 weeks and they say it was due to excessive oil consumption and ar replacing the engine. I don't believe this to the cause; never got a warning light at all and car does restart and run after it shuts itself off. Scared to drive it once i get it back again, it is really like a death trap when it shuts off. You are the mercy of all the drivers around you to get out of your way. Someone is going to get hurt or get killed if they don't figure this out soon. |
