It started over bump in the road then brake pedal would go all the way down not stopping correctly now it like that all the time while in motion or at a halt. Turning key in ignition causes a stall like chocking sound and does not turn on the car. Need to repeat this step a few times before vehicle turns on while at a stand still.

Our 2010 jeep grand cherokee has been shutting off in many different occasions since may 2017. We've taken it to our local mechanic and he suggested we go directly to the dodge/jeep dealership. Nobody can find what is causing this but say this is a known issue. While driving the vehicle at varying speeds, including sitting still idling, traveling 25 MPH on municipal road, 60+MPH on hwy. When this happens the whole car shuts off leaving us unable to steer, loss of breaks, loss of power steering, loss of power to the whole jeep, engine shuts off and loss of ability to control the vehicle to safety. Stalling in moving traffic when you don't expect it has inherent risk and the loss of power systems like brakes and steering that accompanies a vehicle stall makes getting out of the way difficult. Losing all ability to accelerate or use power steering. We've had to run the vehicle off the road in the middle of traffic into a farm pasture in order to get to safety. The jeep has lost power on the hwy traveling 60+MPH and had to veer off in order to control the jeep and get to safety. This is our main car to take my wife to work and our daughter to and from school. We've had to leave the car in the driveway due to life safety concerns. My local dodge/jeep dealership says this is a known issue but don't know how to resolve this potential life threatening issue is very concerning and we would appreciate your help in resolving this matter.
