Description of the problem	Nhtsa veh rec # 14v-4387 -still unresolved due to part availability - there have been more than two-dozen instances where jeep vehicle has shut itself down rendering all driver safety / control features (brakes, steering, air-bags) completely off! This vehicle failure happens at different speeds, direction (fwd-rev) while turning, going straight, uphill & down etc - this jeep vehicle will shut off without warning since the key is in the on position, accessories (radio, wipers, fans etc) will remain on making it very difficult to detect that the engine has stopped and there is a zero engine power. It's not until you realize you've lost propulsion (passing or going uphill), slowing down, or loss of power assist steering and breaking, that you begin to react and try to restart the jeep. The first reaction is often panic driven breaking and getting out of harms way. Today (3/19/2015) was my worst experience yet! Driving ~35 mph on 2 lane road w/ mod-heavy morning traffic around me (7:15am) and this jeep shuts itself off. The car directly behind me swerved to avoid me as i had no power, and could not safely get out of the flow of traffic! I find it totally reprehensible that as of yet, there are no parts available to fix thus known defect! This is a 2005 vehicle - w/ a recall date of sept 3 2014, more than six months ago, and as of today, because it's my primary vehicle, i risk my, & family lives, all the while jeep and the us gov't have known about its defect. I expect jeep and the us gov't will defend and hold me (and any other drivers of this vehicle) harmless against any undesired events caused by this defect. Please respond if possible.
