BOTH TIMES IT RESTARTED AFTER APPROX. 10-15 MINUTES. BOTH TIMES I TOOK IT DIRECTLY TO THE DEALER. FIRST TIME I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT IN AFTER THE RESTART AND THE SECOND TIME I HAD IT TOWED AFTER A HARROWING TIME PULLING OVER AND ALMOST BEING HIT BY THE CAR BEHIND ME. I WAS VERY SHAKEN AND THE STATE TROOPER TOLD ME TO TOW IT FOR MY OWN SAFETY. THE CAR WHEN IT STALLED DID SO WITH ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING. AFTER THE CAR RESTARTED IT HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. BOTH DEALERS TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE ANY ISSUES AS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TOLD THEM NOTHING AND I SHOULD PICK UP MY CAR. I PICKED IT UP THE FIRST TIME THINKING IT WAS A ONE OFF BUT THIS SECOND TIME IT HAS BEEN IN THE DEALER FOR ALMOST A MONTH AND I HAVE OPENED A CASE WITH CHRYSLER. I AM AFRAID FOR MY SAFETY AND MY PASSENGERS SAFETY. THE DEALER REFUSES TO RESEARCH THE ISSUE FURTHER AND CHRYSLER HAS DONE NOTHING OTHER THAN PASSING ON THE SAME MESSAGE FROM THE DEALER TO PICK UP MY CAR. THE DEALER ACTUALLY SAID IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN BRING IT BACK! MY CHRYSLER CASE MANAGER OFFERED ME THREE FREE OIL CHANGES FOR MY INCONVENIENCE ! I HAVE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE AND SEE THAT THERE IS A RECALL AND OPEN CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR EARLIER MODELS RELATED TO DEFECTIVE TIPIN.

    I HAVE RECEIVED THREE FIRST NOTICE RECALLS AND ONE SECOND NOTICE RECALL ON MY VEHICLE SINCE MAY 2014. BRAKE BOOSTER, SUN VISOR WARNING, AND OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROL MODULE. NOT ONE DEALERSHIP IN MY AREA HAS HAD THE PARTS TO FIX THESE PROBLEMS FOR OVER SIX MONTHS NOW. I CANNOT GET A CALL BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP WITH EXPLANATIONS AND I CANNOT GET SATISFACTION THROUGH CONTACTING CORPORATE. IF THERE IS A PROBLEM THAT IS SERIOUS ENOUGH TO ISSUE A RECALL, I WOULD HOPE THAT THE PROBLEMS WOULD BE FIXED IN A TIMELY MANNER. I DRIVE THIS VEHICLE EVERYDAY.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE PLACED TWO CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS IN THE VEHICLE AND THEY BOTH REGISTERED AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF 173 PARTS PER MILLION.

    IN FEB. 2013 I PURCHASED A 2013 GRAND JEEP TRAIL HAWK EDITION, IN SPAN OF 3 TO 4 MONTHS THE JEEP WAS IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT 6 TIMES TRYING TO FIX ISSUES. JEEP WAS UNABLE TO COMPLETELY FIX THE PROBLEMS TO MY SATISFACTION, I WAS GIVEN INCENTIVE TO TRADE IN FOR A 2014 GRAND JEEP CHEROKEE LIMITED EDITION, WHICH WAS RUNNING GREAT UNTIL THIS PAST THURSDAY. ON THURSDAY I STARTED MY JEEP IT BARELY WOULD IDLE, I PROCEEDED TO GET ON THE INTERSTATE WHICH IS WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTED JUMPING UP AND DOWN LIKE I WAS GOING OFF ROAD. IT WOULD SUDDENLY CHANGE TO NEUTRAL WITHOUT ME DOING ANYTHING, IT KEPT MISSING GEARS AND BARELY RUNNING. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO GET OFF THE EXIT. WHEN I GOT OFF THE EXIT IT WOULD BARELY IDLE AND AGAIN SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL WITHOUT ME DOING ANYTHING. EVENTUALLY I SAFELY MADE IT OFF THE EXIT AND INTO A PARKING LOT WHERE I GOT IT TOWED. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER COULD BARELY PULL IT UP ON THE TRAILER. WHEN IT WAS PLACED ON THE TRAILER IT WOULDN'T STAY IN PARK, IT KEPT TRYING TO SHIFT OUT OF GEAR. THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME TYPE OF INVESTIGATION IN THE GRAND JEEP CHEROKEE MODELS AND HOW THEY ARE PASSING INSPECTIONS THROUGH PRODUCTION LINE BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY FOR A CONSUMER TO GET TWO DEFECTIVE VEHICLES IN 7 MONTHS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND UNBELIEVABLE.
