Reported at 72,000 miles, March 2013 Fire

I have 2 issues. 1st is jeep intermittently doesn't start. Which sometimes causes it to shut off while driving luckily I have been on side streets. It cranks but doesn't fire. Was told it could be a bad fuel pump relay. Next issue is it intermittently puts in self in all gears sometimes when I start it and sometimes when driving. I have to turn jeep off and restart it. Worst has been when I'm on highway and it does this I go from 75MPH to 20MPH at a dangerous rate.
