My jeep stalled twice while driving in traffic. Would not start immediately following each event. Loss of brakes and power steering while driving at speed created safety hazard to me and surrounding drivers.

What owners say
The jeep will not start-stationary. It cranks over but does not start. The jeep is equipped with a faulty tipm (totally integrated power module)
2014 jeep rubicon. Very well taken care of. Less that 19,000 miles. 7/10/18, jeep ran fine in morning and afternoon. Tried to start after work (4:15 pm) and would not turn over. Jump start battery and drove to dealership. Nothing on dash was working while driving. Speedometer needle bouncing. While driving all lights were on and flickering. Even headlights. Vehicle felt as though it was surging. Was told there was a recall on the alternator for the 2014 jeep but not the wranglers. Again, less that 19,000 miles. Diagnostic result was alternator went bad and burned up battery. Both being replaced at performance dealership in lavista, ne 68128. I cant understand how an alternator goes bad on a jeep with less than 19,000 mile. The jeep is outside of warranty and we are covering all cost. Should wranglers have been included in the 2014 alternator recall?
During the hurricane irma I was getting the rest of my supplies and returned home when I found out the storm strengthened I went to my car to move it to a safer location and my car would not start. After the storm aaa was allowed to tow my jeep to the dealership and they informed me it was the tipm module so I didn't know what that was and when I looked it up realized they have been having a problem for years on this which my mothers car a chrysler 300c 2007 was apart of this and when the chrysler stalled twice that I can really remember being on the open road with my mother in the car who is 91 just shut off once at a red light and once while I was making a turn. This is not a recall item and my jeep is under warranty I asked them about the chrysler and that I would have to pay I reported this car earlier and reporting my jeep now plz make this a recall item for I'm on fixed income and handicapped and my mother can not get in or out of my jeep with many difficulties I'm afraid to drive the chrysler on i75 now because I'm afraid it will shutdown and my mother maybe in the car at the time she was both times before that's why I remember that when I was by myself and it happened I wasn't too concerned because it was only me worried but at least she wasn't in the car plz once again make this a recall item before something horrible happens I'm glad no damage to the jeep from the hurricane but was worried because I couldn't move it thank you
Went to start car from off position. Engine starts and stalls. Does this 3 times until it doesn't start anymore.
I have a two month old jeep wrangler 2014, 4 door with 1898 miles on it and it wouldn't start. It was completely dead. We tried to jump start it and absolutely nothing happened. Towed it to the dealer and they said they were perplexed and needed to figure out what the problem was and they were not getting power to anything at all and hadn't seen anything like this. After keeping it for a day they said it was the pdc battery main power cable that was not electrically tight. The interesting thing is it still hesitates to start on occasion and it is a brand new car. This is very troubling to me as I have heard of this problem in other chrysler vehicles and worry it could just stop working while I am driving it.
I already brought it to the dealer once and they said nothing wrong and nothing recorded. What happened, driving down the road and every warning light came on flashing then stops. The traction control light stayed on. The second time they all lit up when I stopped the jeep didn't start, everything had power just didn't start and when I took the key out the instrument panel said key still in the ignition. After about 20 minutes the jeep started and the engine check light was on. Took it in to dealer and they said nothing wrong bring it in when it happens again. And it happened again as I described above. Found on another forum that they had to get the sensor replaced. Anyone else have this problem and if so what did you find out to correct the issue. I am bringing it back to the dealer monday.
