VEHICLES DIES UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES...SPEEDING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 75 MPH, IDLING AT A STOP SIGN, DRIVING IN TOWN AT 35 MPH, HOT WEATHER, COLD WEATHER, RAIN, SUN AND SNOW. IT SOMETIMES STARTS RIGHT UP AGAIN, SOMETIMES TAKES AN HOUR - OCCASIONALLY 5-10 HOURS BEFORE IT WILL RESTART. INSTRUMENT PANEL SIMPLY GOES DEAD, ENGINE STOPS, NO WARNING. THIS HAS NEARLY CAUSED ACCIDENTS 15-20 TIMES. TOWED 8 TIMES...WAITED IT OUT THE REST. DEALER WILL NOT HELP UNLESS THEY CAN DUPLICATE PROBLEM - CANNOT DUPLICATE AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, SO THERE 'IS NO PROBLEM'. PERSONAL MECHANIC IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM AS THE COMPUTER, TRIED TO ORDER ONE FROM JEEP SEVERAL TIMES, ALWAYS TOLD IT IS ON BACKORDER. INTERESTING... BACK ORDERED PART FOR 'NO PROBLEM'. THE COMPUTER WAS APPARENTLY REPLACED JUST BEFORE I PURCHASED THE CAR. *NM
