NHTSA complaint #11469773

Owner complaint summary

Note: The following is the second incident in less than a year whereby my vehicle has lost all power, and subsequently needed to be towed to the dealership. Apparently, the batteries (primary and aux/secondary) are/were being drained for some reason. The first time this occurred, there was some sort of wiring defect, possibly shorting out a circuit. We were able to drive it to the dealership, prior to it dying. The second time this occurred (yesterday 6/16/22), my wife was driving home via Virginia by herself. All sorts of error messages appeared on the dashboard, and the car started to jerk abruptly. Battery indicator said it was low (~9v). Car died within minutes, and she had to pull over to be safe. Once it died, she couldn’t even be drift it over for a safer position, relative to the highway traffic. If an accurate diagnosis is not made, I feel this is a dangerous situation, especially with all the Highway driving we do. Given the electrical history with Jeeps, what recourse do I have ? Are there lemon laws that may apply to these electrical issue? See towing receipt below. We currently have a loaner from the dealership, however they are saying it’s the alternator. Generally, alternators last anywhere between 50-100k miles, not 22k .
