This is the sixth time, today, 9/13/15. I haven't been killed yet, but it's a future possibility. My jeep loses power and will not steer. It happened with my mom and my only child in the jeep.

This is the second time i've been in my home which has a connected garage and gone out in the garage to find the engine running and i know for sure it was off when parked.
