My 2015 jeep Cherokee engine shut down about 1 mile from my house as I drove first thing in the morning. No check engine light, no fault codes. This happened at the same spot 2 days in a row. Each time I successfully restarted the engine after many attempts. The car would run fine after that for the rest of the day. After reading a number of posts, I checked my jeep's oil level. It was VERY low even though my oil life read 40%. I added 3 qts of oil and the problem of uncommanded engine shut off has not occurred since.
Apparently, as the engine ages it tends to burn more oil (4-cyl engine). Also, I agree with the commenters that say that the Jeep has a self shutdown feature when the oil level is low.
So, easy fix. Check the engine oil level and if it is low, add oil. If it is not low, then you probably have a different issue with the engine.
