Basically whenever it feels like. I have a son that is a…

I was driving on the highway at 70 mph and the car shut off by itself without any warning, then within 10 seconds, it restarts itself. Very scary... This has happened to me more than 10 times while on the highway..it also happens at random times, anyday, anytime, any speed. Sometimes when it dies, i have to wait about 10 to 15 minutes before it will start up again.... Very frustrating!!!!!! *tr

This is very scary for the jeep to shut off while driving. I have two small…
