My 1994 jeep grand cherokee stalls out intermittently without notice, whether driving or stopped. It will start right back up but when it shuts off all power, steering, and braking power is lost and the vehicle must be put into neutral to restart then back into gear. Its very dangerous to lose control at 45+ MPH, let alone the danger at any speed.

94 grand cherokee. This will be the forth time that I have replaced the fuel pump in my jeep. Same behavior, stalls without notice while decelerating or letting off the accelerator. If not replaced right away it will not stay started when you first start it for the day. Eventually it will not start at all. I also had to replace the driver side door hinge which came completely off the door. It was making popping noise when opening and shutting of the door. Had it check on several occasions and was told that jeep had a problem with the doors. Eventually the door fell off. I have never seen this before. I was shocked to find out that a door was $1600.00. My back door on driver side is popping as well. I guess I don't open and shut the back as much. But the body shop said it will eventually fall off. Have there been any other concerns like these two.
