Description of the problem	April 2014. Stopped at a store, went to leave and battery wouldn't turn over; 2005 jeep grand cherokee laredo did this a couple more times leaving me stranded (just weeks after buying it) it seemed to fix itself after my mechanic cleaned battery post and re tightened cables. A couple of days ago vehicle started acting up again. Didn't want to start and when it did it would run great and all the sudden my traction control, brake lights, engine etc... (i think most the lights that come on in dash when you first start car). Then today. I was driving at 30mph when jeep started cutting out; lights on dash would flash; clock would reset to 12; i'm trying to stop and my brakes are very stiff; power steering extremely stiff. A lady pushed me out of the road, i put car into park. She thought i needed to be pushed further but them the car would not come out of park. After waiting for over an hour for aaa to not show, another lady offered to try and jump jeep. Jeep started right up. I had 10 miles to drive the whole time dash lights coming off and on; steering all but freezing up and brakes too. Before i left my spot just off the road that i had been pushed to , i tried several times to start jeep. It wouldn't start wo assistance but i noticed everytime i cranked the key the clock radio did reset to 12. I'm hoping it's the ignition recap so i can get back to a safe vehicle for me and my toddler daughter very soon.
