While driving at 60 MPH on the highway, my jeep has jolted like it had lost power for a brief moment. The jolt was severe enough that it made my arms ache from it. This worries me as I have read many complaints about complete stalls at high speeds and this could cause a severe accident. My jeep has 150,000 miles on it. This issue needs to be investigated before there is a fatality.

2007 jeep commander with 112,000 est miles, bought used in ak 2016. A week after I bought it I kept having o2 sensor codes pop up. I have had all sensors replaced more than once and numerous other parts with the latest being the catalytic converter. I have spent several thousands of dollars trying to solve this issue. Today was my breaking point, I was driving on I-24 to nashville to take my son to an appointment at vanderbilt. It was raining this morning, all of a sudden the red lighting bolt and other lights came on. My jeep lost power, the brakes didn't work, the steering locked up and I was scared I was going to get hit. I put my hazards on and was able to get across 2 lanes of traffic to the shoulder. I shut the jeep off and turned it back on and it was normal again with just the check engine light on. I was so scared to drive back to clarksville, fearing that it would happen again. I saw that I am not the only one who has had this issue. I called corporate and they said there is nothing really they can do. I said what is it going take, someone, dying or getting into a wreck?? I am disappointed in how this has been handled. My latest carfax shows that this jeep has had the same issues over and over, with nothing really getting resolved.

Driving down the road on rt3 heading west towards west chester pa passing by providence road I was going about 55mph when my jeep shut off and I lost power to the engine (this was very scary). I was able to pull off the road and eventually got my jeep started again. About 6 months later I was stopped at a traffic light and again my jeep shut off. I was able to restart it again a few seconds later. I believe this is an ignition switch problem.
