While driving my vehicle on October the day after the over the air software update was pushed out I got in my vehicle and started to drive and about a half mile from my house the vehicle shut off and said to put in park. I did that and then restarted the vehicle. immediately after I did that and started to drive the check engine light came on. I had noticed earlier that people were discussing this on a Facebook group so I looked again and saw several people were having the same issue. Some said to try and soft reset the Uconnect device by have the vehicle in ACC mode and holding the power and tune button down until it resets. I did this and and after it reset i was able to drive the vehicle but the check engine light stayed on. I continued driving to the store and when I was almost home it shut off again. I then did the reset and made it back home. Once i got home I disconnected the battery and let it set for about an hour unplugged. When I plugged it back in I did another reset. The check engine light was off due to disconnecting the battery and I did not have any more issues with this.

On [XXX] I was driving down hill at a good speed, when all of a sudden my car completely turned off and almost threw me through the windshield. I found out that this was a result of an OTA update that I was not informed of. After this occurred and I finally got my vehicle to start, all the electric started glitching and the rear view camera only operates sometimes. This car is very dangerous I will not get back in it ever again. My vehicle is at Coastline Chrysler in San Juan Capistrano, California where it will remain as I do not intend on ever getting back in it again.

Over-the-air firmware update that caused an in-motion shutdown while driving. various dash lights came on, shift to park indicator flashed, loss power, steering wheel stiffened up to the point it wouldn't move. There were no warnings before it went haywire. My family's safety was at risk as we were driving and it put us in danger and had to carefully get to the side of the road. We had it towed to Jeep where they say they fixed it but we have no trust to drive it now. The service advisor at the Jeep dealerships said "it looks like someone at Jeep pushed the big red button and sent out an update that wasn't ready yet" which is a huge concern for all Jeep owners.

I have been dissecting and putting off the update of the Uconnect software that has recently been known to brick vehicles for about five days now when I was stopped at a light, the car push through the update andand auto updated without my selecting to do so. This caused the car to turn to a message saying to put it in park and press start in order to drive and turned on the check engine light. Luckily this is a long light, but I had to restart the vehicle in order to get it moving dirt before the traffic started to flow.
After an update on the vehicle it shut off while driving, I had no control of the steering. All the lights on the dash came one and I had to put it in park and restart the car. Then the check engine light came on.
