Description of the problem	When driving my 2016 jeep cherokee the vehicle has died out completely on me in the middle of driving. While driving there is a ding noise followed by a message on my dash board that says put car in park then switch into gear, when i am already in drive and driving then the car stops and the brakes and steering locks up completely the battery light flashes then the whole dash goes black. Then i have to trying turning it over a few times and then it will finally start with no warning lights on or anything after it just locked up and died. This vehicle has died several times on me while turning right, while just driving, and in the middle of intersections. I took it to a mechanic and there is no indication of this happening as far as codes that can be brought up or anything but when he test drove it the same thing happened to him he made a right on 12-31 and the car said put car in park then select a gear then went black and then it took a few times for the car to turn over again, but yet again turning on with no warning lights or anything after, but come to find online this is a serious issue that jeep has not addressed and there seems to be no solution besides being in constant fear that you car is going to die out on you. This is a serious safety issue and needs to be addressed before there are lives taken. I have a two young toddler daughters that i don't feel safe driving in our 2016 jeep cherokee in fear for their lives!
