Description of the problem	Well they say third times a charm... Or will it be death? The first incident happened when i was alone in the vehicle as i was making a left hand turn across traffic my jeep just shut down leaving me powerless.. By that i mean nothing no steering no breaks no nothing! Thank the gods there was no oncoming traffic at the time. The second time was a bit more nerving as my 6 year old son and myself were on the highway keeping up with the 65-70 mph flow of cars,suv's & tractor trailers when all of the sudden my engine power just slumbered off to a crawl. If i had been in one lane over and 3 seconds behind we would not be here today to tell this unsightly story! Again thank the gods for looking over us or it would be another statistic on the road and another young child left without a mother (my daughter that wasn't with me at the time)so i ask how many must die or get injured before manufactures man up to their mistakes? The loss of money is nothing it can be replaced but lives can not!!!
