I own a 2000 jeep grand cherokee laredo. My jeep has shut off on me three times this week while I was driving. The first time my cruise was set at 65MPH, it kicked off the cruise and there was no power to the vehicle. I pulled over, restarted it got back up to 65MPH and it shut off again not 2 minutes later. It didn't restart again for me that morning. My fiance went to pick up the vehicle about an hour later and he drove it home as if there was never a problem.
