Description of the problem	We were driving down the road and the jeep shut off. No power at all. Wheel locked and we about crashed. Thought maybe the ignition kicked back. (recall). Nope there wasn't any power at all after trying to restart the jeep. Called the dealer. They said chrysler is aware of the win failing and are aware of the tsb but refuse to recall the jeeps because they say it's too expensive to recall all the vehicles affected by these issues. So to recap.... We almost crashed the jeep at 55mph which would have killed my wife, our young twin boys, and myself. But for chrysler to recall these vehicles would be too expensive. So after a $200 tow bill and 2 hours in -20 degrees in an ohio winter with no heat the jeep still won't start. After a little bit of research i've have discovered that the chrysler electrical systems are very poor and any static electricity will short them out. Please do something about these issues before someone loses a family member or their own life. I will gladly sell this vehicle back to chrysler for the amount i paid. I have paid 10k and owe 9k still. Please force them to do something! Anything at all!
