Low battery light came on while driving 35 mph, and two miles later the majority of dashboard lights came on. Simultaneously, a constant beeping began and wipers turned on. The scary part is that within seconds, i lost power steering and brakes did not work correctly. The road i was driving was precarious, windy, and did not have a shoulder. I continued at minimal speed around the curves for less than a mile,…

My jeep has stalled twice while i was making a left turn. Both times it stalled without warning and i lost all power steering + power brakes. Both times i had about 1/4 tank of gas. The first time i was able to restart my car right away. The 2nd time it took me a few tries to get it restarted. The dealership claims they can't find anything wrong with it. I've opened a case with jeep.

The engine and all systems stop; turn off without notice. Actually not a stall, but all power ceases to work abruptly. The car then must be stopped fully to allow a restart. Without power steering or brakes the car is immediately subject to a rear end collision. It has always occurred at speeds around 15 to 20 mph, and normally when slowing. Jeep dealers have been unable to fix the problem and, of course i cannot…
