2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee electrical complaints

I was driving my 2008 jeep grand cherokee & was going about 15-20mph when suddenly my car turned off. No warning, no sputtering, no symbols flashing on the dash, nothing. It just simply died. I only realized my car was completely off when I happened to look at my dashboard and the gas gage was on e and the speedometer and mileage were not on. I tried my hardest to steer and luckily I was able to pull into a parking lot. I opened the hood and checked the battery cables and they were fine. The truck started up again but this incident scared me to death. I had just gotten off the highway when this happened and I am a mom of 3. I called my local jeep dealer the next day. The service guy told me to remove some of my keys from my key holder and in his words "this is a band-aid fix for now, there is a recall for ignition problems but it won't be rolling out until september". What?? This is unacceptable. It should be fixed now.
On december 24, 2013, my 2008 jeep grand cherokee stopped in a parking lot in buffalo and the ignition key was not working. I was stranded in the cold in the middle of night. The jeep was towed to the jeep dealer. The dealer ordered the part and fixed the car with a new part to fix the ignition problem. In january 2015, I received a safety recall notice about ignition key and mailed the claim for reimbursement with the paid receipt of repair performed on 1/6/2014. I have mailed two letters for request for reimbursement, but I have not received any response or payment from jeep chrysler. Thank you.

Beginning immediately upon purchase, the vehicle will shut down (apparently the ignition key /system fails) and the vehicle engine stoops with subsequent loss of power to brakes, steering, etc. This event happens regularly and has placed me in very dangerous circumstances when crossing intersections, merging into traffic and during interstate highway travel at respective speeds. The frequency is two or more times per week, some times per day. This vehicle is unsafe to drive, but I have to have transportation.

This shall serve to inform you that I owner of a jeep cherokee laredo 2008 has filed numerous complaints with the department of motor vehicles concerning a recall with my ignition switch. It has been over two years and I am stilling for my ignition switch part to be ordered. The vehicle on numerous occasions has proved to be unsafe by stopping abruptly on the highway by losing power, parking lots by failing to start or on the road by losing speed where I could literally release the brake pedal and the car could not move. This is not only dangerous especially when I am in the car with my family on the highway and my ignition switch makes my car lose power, not only can I cause an accident and harm my family and I but other vehicles with their passengers too. I would like to know that matters are being taken to find parts to replace the faulty ignition switch. How long is it reasonable to wait for recall part to be order and fixed for my vehicle, until some tragic accident occurs? I am writing to inform you, if there is ever an incident, not only will I will file legal action against the department of motor vehicles.
