 Description of the problemMy fiancee purchased a 2015 jeep cherokee suv 4x4 (certified pre-owned w/ additional, extended warranty) one (1) month ago almost to the day of this incident report. While she was driving the vehicle very early in the morning (approximately 5-5:30am), the car became non-functional and the instrument cluster flickered with warning lights appearing. The car was in motion when this occurred with no outside forces or factors to cause this to happen. The engine completely shut off and the car stalled immediately, while still moving. The electrical was on and display worked, however; the car would not go at all. The car behind her had to slam on their brakes and luckily no accident occurred. Had it been any later in the day or on a busy, major highway; i fear it would have been much worse. We have now brought it to a dealership for diagnosis and they cannot get to the car for at least two (2) weeks with no loaner cars available. We were advised to call jeep directly and go over the situation and they offered no help at all but to *potentially* reimburse rental costs while the car would be repaired (much later after the rental needs to be paid). This is our second jeep and i am absolutely dissatisfied with this as this could have cost my fiancee her life and the life of others. We now do not know the best path forward and are trying to figure out a solution to either repair or replace the vehicle. Maybe legal action is required. For being "certified pre-owned" the level of trust has definitely been reduced if not lost completely. I hope this gets resolved soon and that jeep really understands the severity of the issue. If a recall is necessary to prevent injury or death, please fix this and make it right. People buy these cars to be your customers - don't do wrong by them and risk their lives to prevent spending towards the resolution of a common problem.

  • What is Recall?

    A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
  • What is Failure?

    Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
