Description of the problem	I was driving my 2008 jeep grand cherokee & was going about 15-20mph when suddenly my car turned off. No warning, no sputtering, no symbols flashing on the dash, nothing. It just simply died. I only realized my car was completely off when i happened to look at my dashboard and the gas gage was on e and the speedometer and mileage were not on. I tried my hardest to steer and luckily i was able to pull into a parking lot. I opened the hood and checked the battery cables and they were fine. The truck started up again but this incident scared me to death. I had just gotten off the highway when this happened and i am a mom of 3. I called my local jeep dealer the next day. The service guy told me to remove some of my keys from my key holder and in his words "this is a band-aid fix for now, there is a recall for ignition problems but it won't be rolling out until september". What?? This is unacceptable. It should be fixed now.
