“Vehicle Will Shut Off Soon”

[Compton]

What revived a year old thread with a 2 year old post I wonder..........

I don't know but the thought of this or some other electrical issue and complexity of electronics in modern vehicles/cost to repair is scary. Is this something that was happening but Jeep addressed or a few isolated cases?

Wasn't that Jeep software update they did a while back, did it not address that? IDK, cause I never had that problem.

I got a 2021 Jeep Gladiator Sport S and this just happened to me this past Saturday. Same exact thing. "Stop Safely, Vehicle will shut down soon" within 10 minutes the truck started stuttering, the AC went out then it felt like the power steering went out. I pulled over and a lot of different warning lights were popping up on the dash before the truck shut off and could not start again. I towed the vehicle to the dealership and they told me It would take 2 weeks before they can even get it diagnosed because their service department is that backed up. I bought a rental for this whole month, I still got a full time job I need to make money from... Reading through this whole post there was a waiver the service rep had me sign saying I waive my rights to a written report prior to them performing any work and I will just pay the cost of all repairs. I'm going to the dealership right now to get that waiver back and let them know I want to see all reports prior to paying for anything. I contacted Jeep Care and they've opened up a case file. We'll see how this goes...

Electric issue - bad connection, bad ground, low battery causing low system voltage.
When it detects a low voltage condition (due to battery, connection or ground) it will shut off certain power-robbing things to keep it running as long as possible. EHPS (electro-hydraulic power steering) and AC are among the larger things pulling power.

If my truck ever did that, first thing I'd do is check battery voltage, even see what the voltage was in the display while it was running.
