HAVE BEEN TOLD BY 2 JEEP DEALERSHIPS THAT REASON FOR MY JEEP SHUTTING DOWN WHILE DRIVING IS IN THE ELECTRICAL WITH THE KEY SWITCH. THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS BUT JEEP DOESN'T HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX.

MY JEEP JUST SHUT OFF ON I-40 & I-75 AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED ON 2 DIFFERENT TIMES FOR A PERIOD OF 2 YRS. OF COURSE, THERE IS NO WARNING.
