Description of the problem	The following incident has occurred twice within the last week and a half: today, while driving (luckily coming to a stop) my jeep began shaking violently and the engine shut off. It restarted and drove normally. Last weekend, while backing out of a parking space, the check engine light flashed and i immediately lost steering (soon realizing that the vehicle had shut off). Again, it restarted and drove normally. Had this occurred while driving on the interstate at a higher speed i'm sure the consequences could have been worse that causing concern. However, i have read on the jeep forum that this problem has been occurring in 2011 and 2012 jeep patriots at higher speeds, one with a fatality. That alone is very disheartening. My jeep currently has 10, 430 miles on it, i bought it in april of 2012.
