THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME ABNORMALLY STIFF AND DIFFICULT TO TURN HOWEVER I WAS ABLE TO GUIDE THE COMPLETELY STALLED AND DECELERATING VEHICLE TO THE SLOW LANE AND PULL-OFF ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD (WITH NO SIDE LANE) WITH HAZARDS FLASHING AND TRAFFIC PASSING. THIS WAS AN INHERENTLY DANGEROUS CONDITION AS THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC WAS GOING APPROXIMATELY 35 - 40 IN THE FAST LANE AT WHICH TIME I COMPLETELY LOST POWER AND HAD LIMITED STEERING (MORE LIKE COASTING) ABILITY.  I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE ENGINE COMPLETELY OFF AND RESTART, HOWEVER THE NEXT DAY UNDER SIMILAR CONDITIONS OF NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS THE VEHICLE JERKED AND STALLED AGAIN, AND RESTARTED AFTER A COMPLETE SHUTDOWN.  THIS VEHICLE ON THE THIRD DAY POST THE FIRST INCIDENT FAILED TO RESTART AFTER DRIVING TO A LOCAL SHOPPING DESTINATION AND TURNING THE CAR OFF TO PARK.  I LEFT THE VEHICLE AT THE LOCATION FOR APPROXIMATELY 4 TO 5 HOURS AND RETRIEVED THE VEHICLE UPON WHICH IT STARTED WITH A DOCUMENTED CALL INTO ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM FROM JEEP.  THE NEXT DAY (MONDAY) I DROVE TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER UPON WHICH THEY STATED THE FAILURE WAS THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE (ESM) [(NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)] WHICH CONTROLS THE ELECTRONIC SIGNALS FROM THE COMPUTER TO THE TRANSMISSION AT A PERSONAL COST OF $820.  I BELIEVE THIS REPRESENTS A KNOWN DEFECT AS CURRENTLY 55 OUT OF THE 133 COMPLAINTS LISTED HERE ARE DESCRIBING A SIMILAR SERIES OF EVENTS AND ROOT CAUSE, AND WOULD BE WILLING TO BE INVOLVED IN A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT AGAINST JEEP AS LIFE, LIMB AND PROPERTY ARE AT STAKE.  *TR","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2007","productMake":"JEEP","productModel":"GRAND CHEROKEE","manufacturer":"Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)"}]}]}
