Description of the problem	Driving approx 50 mph, the jeep quit, no warning signs, no power steering. Momentum got me off the road. Dealership wasn't able to fix the problem. This happened in march 2011. Sept 2011 i was passing a transit bus on the way to work and as i started to pull back into my own lane the jeep quit again. No warnings, it just quit. I had to coast into the front yard of someones house because i had no steering. I sat for a few minutes, started it up and drove back home. The onboard diagnostics light, esp, bas and traction control lights were on. From that point the jeep was running very badly. Dealer had my jeep for 6 days and said it was a map sensor on the manifold. Got the jeep back and backing out of my driveway in the middle of the road, it quit. A couple tries and it restarted. I'm very upset that this vehicle has put me in harms way on 3 separate occasions. I couldn't imagine driving on a twisting steep road and having it quit. I'm lucky i wasn't killed the day i was passing the bus. I'm not convinced the map sensor is the problem and i don't trust this vehicle. I drive a lot and transport my kids. We are all in danger in this vehicle. Mainly because, it gives you absolutely no warning that it's going to quit, it just shuts down as if i shut the key off. I have only the ignition key on the keyring so i know it has nothing to do with heavy keys pulling on the ignition switch. I am not the only complaint, they are all over the web, it is an issue and someone needs to address it. This vehicle has become dangerous.
