2008 GC dies intermittently
I've had my 2008 Grand Cherokee for about 6 months now and in that time it has unexpectedly died on me three times. Twice while stopped in traffic and most recently while traveling down the interstate at 75 mph. Everytime I have been able to restart it after several attempts. It is obviously inconvenient, but I'm concerned more from a safety standpoint now. I've read that this is not all too uncommon for these vehicle, but I haven't found or read of a cause for the problem, or a fix. I don't have a CEL, and I hate to take it to the dealership and throw $ at them and have it not be fixed. Especially if I could possibly fix it myself. Does anyone have any info on what this problem could be? Is there a TSB for this problem, or a recall notice?

I have a 2008 Grand Cherokee 5.7 that while on the highway going 65 (yesterday), had all acceleration cut out. I put it in neutral and turned the ignition off then on and started it while still rolling. It then accelerated like normal.
Any info would be appreciated.
