| Description of the problem | Please help me with my potentially deadly problem? My 2016 cherokee dies while i'm driving (city & highway ["dinged" but didn't die-i won't drive it on the highway]). It is frightening and potentially deadly. There is no pattern to when or why this happens. It happens repeatedly and the dealership cannot identify nor correct the problem. The computer doesn't register any codes and doesn't recognize that the vehicle has died. Nothing shows on the dashboard either when this happens. There is a "ding" and the car dies. I have been reading (online) many other identical accounts of this problem with others who won the 2015 & 2016 cherokee models. My car is, yet again, at the dealership. Please help me? This is a potentially deadly situation. I am afraid to drive this vehicle. And, others are experiencing exactly the same thing. Thank you! |
