Description of the problem	I saw the news this morning that chrysler jeep has admitted to a defect where the jeep cherokees (2005) turns off unexpectedly and there are issues with the airbag. My jeep has turned off/stalled soon after i have started driving it on a number of occasions. It sort of stalls with no power going to the engine and then a few seconds later kicks in and moves. This usually happens right after i pull out of a parking space or pull away from the curb to start driving in a lane of traffic. I have brought the car in and discussed the problem a couple times and been told there is no problem. As a separate or related issue, during one of my first services at a jeep dealership when i left the dealership warning lights turned on -- i went back to have the issue addressed and was finally told on the fourth visit that there was a faulty software upgrade and not to worry unless a light went on and stayed on (i didn't have time to pursue the issue and i got no where with the dealership). More recently it has been the airbag light that goes on and off (if is now off). Finally, i went to the chrysler website this morning and entered my vin and was told there was no recall or notices. I hope that the nhtsa requires chrysler to address this issue and/or it is addressed through a class action.
