While driving the car will shut off completely, locking the steering wheel and rendering the brakes and the gas ineffective... the first time i was driving 65mph on the freeway and it shut off. luckily there was no one on the road, i was able to coast to a stop, shift to park, and restart the engine... it proceeded to happen multiple times, no matter how fast i was driving.

I was leaving my neighborhood yesterday morning when my jeep shut off without any warning or check engine lights and would not start. thankfully i was still close to home and was able to go home in neutral! what if i were on the highway? or in the middle of an intersection! the screen said to put vehicle in park. the radio and lights still work but it does not start. i am financing this jeep and have had it for 8 months from a dealership. i dont have an extended waranty and i dont know how to handle this... i looked up on carcomplaints.com and found identical complaints to mine of theyre new jeeps just shutting off mid drive. this needs to ba addressed. im terrified of this car.

Car will turn off. turn the key and pull it out, car stays running. when this happens, car is in a possessed state where brake lights stay on at all times, turn signals do not work, wipers do not work, horn does not work. took it to dealership and was told there are no codes, so nothing they can do. pull the battery cable off to shut the car down. this will happen mid drive so all of a sudden you'll lose your turn signals, wipers, horn, brake lights, door locks, and main light control. when you pull over, only way to turn the car off is to pull the battery cable.

My 2015 jeep cherokee latitude has stall out 3 times on me while driving on busy highways. i took the vehicle in for repair and was told this particular engine consumes oil at a fast rate and without any warning, when low, will stall unexpectedly. no warning, no oil pressure gauge alerts, car simple stalls. i am afraid the vehicle will stall and me and any occupant will be killed or seriously injured. i have notice the same complaint numerous times on line.
