Description of the problem	While driving maybe 30mph, i attempted to make a left turn when my jeep immediately went dead (no lights sound or anything else) and the steering wheel locked up. I was able to move the steering wheel just enough to coast to the side of the road but couldn't straighten it due to the steering wheel not turning and car completely dying. I attended to jump it , but it wouldn't start even after being connected for 20+ minutes. When taken off the jumper cables, it would immediately die again. During this time, the windshield wipers would start without moving without me touching them. I had to have it towed to my house and the tow truck was also unable to start it or put it in neutral to get it on the truck . After a couple hours, i was able to jump start it with my portable jumper but it died completely after it was sitting for a couple minutes. Now being told it's electrical problems that caused this . I noticed another recall with similar problems but apparently mine has yet to be included in this recall of the alternator/electrical
