2006 Jeep Commander 4X2 Air bags Problems

“My car cut out at 65 MPH in heavy traffic. I lost my power brakes and steering. Additionally I lost my airbags. This is the 12th time this has occurred. I called Jeep and asked for a loaner or rental till this is resolved because there is no fix and they said they would not. I have nothing on my key ring that could have caused this problem and my knee is 8 inches from the ignition so I know I did not bump it with my knee. Jeep will not work with me and state it is safe to drive and I should be careful and try not to hit any bumps.”
