IN THE LAST 2 DAYS, MY 2012 GRAND CHEROKEE HAS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING TWICE. ON 10/29/2015 EXITING THE HIGHWAY WITH MY 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER.

THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS. THE RADIO AND LIGHTS ALL STILL WORKED. I HAD TO COAST TO THE SIDE WITH NO BRAKES, NO POWER STEERING. ONCE STOPPED I COULD PUT IT IN PARK AND START IT AGAIN WITHOUT ISSUE.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE ENGINE SHUT OFF DURING RIGHT TURN IN BUSY INTERSECTION WITHOUT ANY WARNINGS. UNABLE TO TURN OR CONTROL VEHICLE. ALSO THE BRAKE ON LIGHTS COME ON IN THE CONSUL DURING NORMAL OPERATION. BASED ON OTHER JEEP MODEL RECALLS, I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM MAY BE RELATED TO THE TIPM-7 MODULE. THE VEHICLE IS A GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLANDER 4WD. VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED AND HAS NOT HAD ANOTHER FAILURE, HOWEVER, THIS IS AN UNSAFE DRIVING SITUATION WHEN THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE DIES WHILE IN MOTION IN ANY ROAD CONDITION. MAYBE RELATED TO RECALLS P54.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE TRAVELING DOWN A PAVED COUNTRY ROAD AT NIGHT, THE INDICATOR LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD STARTED BLINKING, THE ENGINE QUIT AND THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT. THE HAZARD LIGHTS WOULDN'T WORK, SO I WAS SITTING IN TOTAL DARKNESS. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. I COULD'T GET IT OUT OF PARK TO MOVE IT OFF THE ROAD. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER HAD TO DRAG THE JEEP ONTO THE BED OF THE TOW TRUCK BECAUSE THE WHEELS WOULDN'T TURN. THE SERVICE DEPT. AT THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE TIPM AND CORE RETURN. THEY HAD NO EXPLANATION AS TO WHY THIS OCCURRED, WHICH IS VERY UNSETTLING.

STEERING
WENT IN TO GET AN OIL CHANGE TODAY AND FOUND OUT MY JEEP'S STEERING RACK IS LEAKING. THE CAR HAS 51,000 MILES AND THEY SAID IT SHOULDN'T BE LEAKING ALREADY. FROM WHAT I'VE LEARNED THIS SEEMS TO BE A FAULTY PART AND NOT DUE TO POOR MAINTENANCE OF THE VEHICLE, I JUST PURCHASED IT 4 MONTHS AGO SO I KNOW I DID NOT CAUSE THE PROBLEM.
