Filed with NHTSA by the people who own these cars, about the electrical system. Quoted as written, with anything identifying removed; unverified reports — what was said, not a finding that it was true.

This Jeep has been to the dealer 4 times previously for a similar issue. This incident, while driving down the highway at approximately 45 MPH all the instruments started going crazy (previously happened many times). Shortly thereafter the steering wheel locked up.
