“While driving out to my parent's with my daughters my Jeep just shut down,{stalled} while going 50-55 MPH. Lost power steering and brakes, had to shift into neutral and re start. This happened four more times in the next 8.4 miles. After dropping of my kids my husband followed me to the dealership to drop it off. About 9 miles away, and it shut down 6 more times at various speeds. Dealer does not know what's wrong and is waiting until monday to get a response from chrysler head quarters.”
