Description of the problem	I have had an on going electrical problem with my 08 jeep grand cherokee. When i am driving my jeep at various speeds it goes off. It has happened numerous times at different speeds. On the interstate at 55 miles per hour it has gone dead at night and my headlights, dash and steering all goes out. I have had to shift into neutral and restart the car. It has gone off more frequently just driving around town, no warning happens it just dies. I have had my car in the shop several times and their tests show nothing wrong and when they drive it "they say it does not die on them". It is in the shop now again and has not gone off on them. They put a recorder on my car and let me drive it and said if it died to push the recorder button and it would record the incident and they would know what was wrong. It went off 6 times in two days and i pushed the button 6 times. They said they checked the recorder and it showed no incidents!!!! I know this is a safety concern, i guess no one will do anything until there is a fatality. I understand my vin# is not included in the recall for the 2008 jeep electrical problem. I am not sure why.
