Driving 75 miles per hour on interstate and engine stalled, and all power components, including power steering stalled and brakes. Was able to maintain control of the vehicle and make my way to the shoulder. Once stopped car started up without problem. This was an extremely dangerous and unsettling malfunction.
2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee/ 5.7 hemi check engine light came on, engine started missing, loss of power, failure occurs once vehicle is started. So far a tune-up, #6 cylinder have the problem, intake plenum seals, mds solenoid, #6 fuel injector and a module powertrain control, have been changed, now I am told the problem is a bad lifter for the #6 cylinder, and that DaimlerChrysler is aware of this problem and since not many complaints have been made, I as the owner of the vehicle should have to pay to have the engine with the internal problem repaired, the vehicle is 2006, limited with 51,938 miles, the vehicle is still out of service, at my residence, I am at a loss that DaimlerChrysler is aware of this problem and is not addressing the issue.

Engine has cut off numerous times between 5-30 mph. I have to stop and restart Jeep, have almost been rear ended several times. Have taken into dealership and they can't duplicate the problem so they can't fix it.
2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Problems with vehicle shutting off while driving. Lots of consumers reporting this issue. Driving in city traffic at speed of 45 miles per hour, vehicle and all electrical components suddenly shut off. Lost steering momentarily. I shifted to neutral and restarted- but upon returning home and researching problem on internet, found numerous customer citing this problem. Luckily, no crash occurred although it was close. Had I been on the freeway, this could have been catastrophic!
Purchased new Jeep Grand Cherokee in May 2006. The problem started almost immediately and continue., dealership could not find or fix the problem. The vehicle lost engine power while driving, resulting in no steering or brakes. This happened every few days, without warning, most recently at speed of 50 mph, causing me to have to manually, with much difficulty, steered off road into field to avoid a collision with other vehicles. This was extremely dangerous, I could only imagine if it happened on an expressway during heavy traffic how many people would be killed. The local dealership always stated they could not duplicate problem, and asked me to keep driving until it happened again, then bring the car back in. This could not go on! someone or many people were going to be killed because of this dangerous vehicle, but I have to have something to drive. Please help.
