Vehicle shut off while driving, key was in the on position suddenly shutoff causing no power steering, power brakes, instrument panel and gauges went to zero. Was able to restart after a few minutes. Drove home, went to start vehicle 1 hour later and nothing happened. This has happened before and is similar to several other complaints for this make and year.

When the red light turned green, I try to proceed across the intersection when the car just died. The radio continued to play but I had no power steering. I managed to pull over and turn on my flashers. Meanwhile the radio continued to play. I put the car in park and try to start the car again and it did indeed start. If I had been driving on i75 going 70mph and the car stalled I would be in huge trouble. The goodyear mechanic could not find the problem.

This is the third incident since august of this year. Latest incident occurred today, october 14, 2014. In each incident, the engine suddenly goes into a rough idle and eventually stalls with loss of power. I have been able to steer the car off the road and switch between off/start positions until the vehicle starts. The vehicle runs normally after these incidents with no "check engine" light displayed. Reported the incident to chrysler and they told me this year jeep was not in scope of their recently announced recall for the same problem.
