Description of the problem	The problem happened 3 times. Two at very low speeds during the day, and once at night at high speed. The first time it happened, i was driving the jeep and the engine stalled. It was hard to steer, but i was moving slow. I thought it was a weird fluke. I put the car in park and restarted it with no problem. The second time it my husband was driving, we had just pulled out of our neighborhood and the jeep stalled. The breaks don't work well, and the steering is difficult. He put the jeep in neutral and restarted it with no problem. The third time it happened, was on january 10, 2015. I was driving at night with my child on a long trip. I had been driving the jeep for several hours on the interstate. It happened at around 10:00 pm - it was very dark. I was in the passing lane going about 65 mph when the engine stalled, the headlights went out, all the interior lights went out, dashboard went dark, and i knew from the previous two times, that if i applied the breaks or tried to steer, it would be very difficult. I decided that i didn't want to look down and try to find neutral and accidentally put it in a low gear. So i turned the ignition switch and everything came back on (engine, light inside and out, power steering, and power breaks) while the jeep was in drive traveling at 65 mph. I took it to the jeep dealer to have it repaired. They told me that the trans range sensor went bad. My main concern is - why is the engine stalling and jeep losing all power while moving when the sensor goes bad? There was no warning light to let me know a sensor was bad. Are all jeeps designed with this sensor, and will all jeeps experience the same thing if their trans range sensor goes bad, or was it just something that happened with my specific vehicle?
