Description of the problem	Since we purchased this car, it has unexpectedly completely shut down while driving. This has happened approximately 20 times. Last year, it was towed to a dealership in the sheepshead bay area of brooklyn, new york. We were told that it was a safety feature that shut the engine down while driving if the vehicle was low on oil. It was not as ascertained by that dealership. This "safety feature" has put my family's life in imminent danger as this has happened while driving 60mph on the grand central parkway and belt parkway in new york. On sunday, may 26, 2019, my son was driving with 4 people in this car and once again it shut down while traveling 55mph. Fortunately, he was able to exit the highway before he was rear ended avoiding tragedy. He proceeded to drive to a friend's house on 168th street in manhattan while utilizing city streets. The car randomly shut down 6 more times before reaching safety. I will not allow anyone in my family to drive this unsafe vehicle. It was towed to the chrysler jeep dealership on hylan blvd. In staten island, new york. We were informed that it will not even be evaluated for another week to 10 days. Chrysler does not provide rentals nor does my insurance company allow rentals unless the auto was in an accident. I have researched and asked a friend who has the same exact model and year. It is happening to her, too. I am appalled that this problem is associated with supposed low oil in the engine. My son had the oil changed 4 days prior to this latest incident. It is frightening to think that even when this car is allegedly repaired once again, that my son will be driving this car from staten island, new york, to the canarsie section of brooklyn, new york. Please advise what steps should be taken. I would like to terminate the lease in anyway possible.
