Description of the problem	This evening i was driving my 2016 jeep cherokee when it suddenly lost power and i couldn't accelerate or adequately turn. I was beginning to accelerate after having been stopped at a traffic light and made a right hand turn. I was traveling between approximately 20 and 30 mph when my vehicle lost power. My music continued to play, my digital screen housing the speed remained illuminated and i noticed the battery light was on. I did not notice a message on this screen but there could have been one. I was more focused on getting my vehicle off of the road since it was no longer moving. Luckily there was a parking lot approximately 20 feet ahead. I was able to coast my car into the parking lot. Steering was difficult but manageable. Once in the parking lot i placed the vehicle in park and turned the engine off. I waited a moment and attempted to turn it back on. The vehicle began to buck/shake and made a noise as if it was trying to start but not able to. The digital monitor flickered on and finally the engine turned over and the vehicle was running. I left it running for several minutes and then turned the engine off. The vehicle restarted with no problems and was able to make it back to my home approximately 20 miles from where this occurred. This was terrifying. What would i have done if i was on an interstate or highway and traffic was heavy? After this incident and prior to filing this complaint, i researched this problem and have found several videos on youtube showing exactly what i experienced. I have also read complaints on various forums (one titled jeep forum) describing the situation i experienced. I do not feel this vehicle is safe or can be trusted with my life or others. This needs to be investigated.
