I purchased my Jeep used in April of 2019. On 2 occasions so far, while coming to a stop the engine cuts out. It takes about 10-15 minutes to get it restarted. This has happened both times while stopping at a light in busy traffic. I have seen over 30 complaints for the same problem on www.carcomplaints.com. all reported stalling out while decelerating the vehicle. Some reported that it stalls while decelerating while taking a right turn, for example, while entering a highway off-ramp. The first time my car stalled I was not turning. The second, I was decelerating while taking a right turn. This causes a huge safely concern that should be addressed by Jeep. My car has approximately 65K miles.
I was driving along and apparently my battery in my keyfob went dead. My engine stopped while I was driving and if I won't have had just bought a new battery I would have been stranded. There is no way to start the engine with key
In 2019 Jeep rolled out an approved emissions modification (aem) program as part of a emissions compliance settlement with regulatory authorities. This software flash/re-program has made an otherwise safe car unsafe. At low engine temperatures (cold start) the vehicle has very little power to accelerate through intersections, make left turns, move out of the way if someone is approaching from a high rate of speed from behind at a stoplight. Jeep has acknowledge this issue and have noted they are working on a fix, but have not offered accommodations to ensure one has a safe car to drive when they spend months developing a fix. It is a hazard, has resulted in several near-miss situations, and they need to be held accountable to ensuring their customers safety.
The vehicle was started and would not shut off. All lights on dash came on which could have caused an accident trying to read them all. Had to disconnect fuses and battery to get engine and all lights off. Put all back together and engine will not turn over at all. It appears to not be recognizing fob even with new battery.
While driving and turning in driveway it stalled on three occasions, wait ten seconds, put it in park and it starts up. Been in the dealership (williamsburg va Jeep invoice # 150495&151000) twice, contacted Jeep customer care (cast #58123405) to no avail. Dealership stated the only way to correct the problem would be a process of elimination and that would have to be authorized by Jeep, which it wasn't.

Less a complaint right now but how do out shut off the engine in case of a brake failure with a keyless start? currently the only way to shut off the engine is when transmission is in park. If there is a kill switch inside the cabin I don't know where it's located.
Diesel engine just shuts off. Towed to the dealership: Code P016F-00 was stored. But nothing was done to repair the problem as the car started by the time it got to the dealership. Diagnostics performed at kernersville Dodge, kernersville, nc 27284 ph: 336-996-4111 invoice: Docs402929 invoice date: 05/15/2018
The automatic engine off is a hazard, I tried to pull out in traffic the vehicle stalled to go, when it did finally go, it was too late, but it jerked into motion and then stalled again once I stepped on the break, this placed me in a very bad spot. It took a full restart to get my car started again. This is so dangers! I tried to remember to turn it off when I get in however this is a new car for me so I don't always remember until it goes into it sleep mode. This feature should be replaced with something more reliable or permanently disabled. I plan to have it look at when I go for my oil changed. The stall has happen twice now.
As I exited off the parkway I came to a red traffic light on the exit ramp. When the light turned green, my car would not accelerate. The engine light came on, and then it would not even let me shift gears. The lights and windows worked, but the engine and the heat did not. This exact same thing happened to me three months ago (same scenario, car stalled after the first traffic light coming off the parkway, engine light came on, etc. Everything exactly the same), and at that time the dealer said that a computer error showed that it was the alternate battery that died so they replaced it. But this last time, they told me that there was no "computer error" and they got the car to accelerate so there was nothing that they could fix. I begged them to call the manufacturer or to ignore the fact that there was no computer error (suppose the computer was wrong?) but they denied me and were adamant that without a computer error code there was nothing they could do and they would not call anyone. In both instances, I was on a major road with a curve/offramp and it was extremely dangerous since even with my hazards on, cars were seeing me too late and almost hitting me.
