While driving my vehicle it just shut down without any warning and I had to guide it to the side of the road to restart it.thankfully I was driving in a neighborhood where I could do this, it did this a couple of times in one outing, now its every so often. So far it has not done it while I'm out on an interstate but I try to stay close to home til it can be fixed. Plus when I have on my lights my dashboard lights blink on and off. Then here recently the air bag light started flashing and a few days ago it stayed on and hasn't shut off. I've talked to the Jeep dealership about this and they said that they don't have the parts to fix the recall item P41/ NHTSA 14V-438 and I'm liable for the airbag issue. From what I have read online all of these issues are connected. I received a letter on the recall a few months back but have not heard anything back on when I can get it fixed at the dealership. Please advise on what steps I should take to get the parts for this recall so I can enjoy driving my vehicle again. Thanks again

While driving my car at 50 mph all the lights on the dash came on indicating that the engine had turned off. This has happened 2 more times but both those times the car was not in motion. I was sitting at a stop light. After a few seconds the car turns itself back on. I am very fearful that the car may take longer to turn itself back on and I will have loss of power steering and braking. I have notice of a P41/NHTSA 14V-438 recall but am told the fix is not yet available. Due to the length of time I am requesting another vehicle to be provided until my car can be fixed as I am very fearful of a crash.

The first incident 01/13/2015 occurred while driving at 15 mph, all lights flickered, HVAC system shut off, radio turned off, every light on dash flickered on and off. On 01/14/2015 when vehicle was started, the radio turned off and on continuously, each time the blower on heater stopped. Later in the day, vehicle was running while parked. All lights flickered off and on, radio turned off and on, and fuel monitor reading went to 7 miles left before needing fuel. Vehicle had a full tank of gas. I am terrified to drive this vehicle now. Losing electrical power while driving is a recipe for disaster.
