Description of the problem	I bought a new 2008 jeep grand cherokee straight from the dealer. In january/february 2013 i started experiencing intermittent instances of the vehicle powering down & stopping without any warning. I would be driving at 35mph, and out of nowhere the electrical would cease, the truck would seize up, power down and would come to a halt. I took the truck to the dealer on 6/27/13, had diagnostics run. The dealer's recommendation was to have a new keyfob unit installed. There was an internal defect found in the wireless control module. Module on backorder, so alternate repair option given which included the installation and programming of a new remote starter unit which came with a new wireless control module and two new keyfobs. Previous to this i also had a new battery & shocks put in to remedy the problem. To date, still having same issue and now the "malfunction indicator light" intermittently appears lit on my dash. I see jeeps up to 2007 being included in the latest 7/21/14 recall for "faulty ignition switches that cause vehicles to stall" & i want to ensure that the 2008 jeep grand cherokee's get included in the investigation as a result of my filed complaint.
