Owner's description

On three separate occasions on the same trip, the engine simply shut off at freeway speeds, requiring me to navigate to the shoulder. This was extremely dangerous as there was no propulsion control to avoid other traffic and no warning that it would happen. This is a brand new car with under 3,000 miles. No warning lights came on and all gauges were at normal range. When placed back in park, the engine restarted. Research reveals that for many years Jeep and Chrysler vehicles have displayed similar problems, resulting in numerous recalls and many Lemon Law lawsuits. The dealer has the car and is conducting an inspection.
