general problems of the 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Anti-theft is keeping the Jeep from working. The vehicle starts and dies after 2-3 seconds. I have googled it on the internet and there are literally tons of people on you tube/facebook (even some licensed mechanics) complaining about the issue.

The truck seems to have lost power to drive and also to provide proper to the radio which goes in and out. While driving there was no engine light that came on and the truck started hesitating to keep going. At 0 to 40mph it was acting like it wanted to shut off but as I gave it more gas it seemed to get better and the music came in clearer but then it would jerk like it was going to shut down. I have had the starter, alternator, engine and spark plugs changed and checked but it still is doing the same thing. This is unsafe with my kids in the car and no warning light to say that anything is wrong. This needs to be addressed I've seen too many trucks with similar issues like mines.

Engine shuts off while driving. Very dangerous to shift to neutral, while rolling, and try to restart with key. Must come to a complete stop and shift to park to restart. Not so bad if you can get to the side of the road first, terrible if you have to stop in the travel lanes to restart car. Sometimes it takes up to 30 minutes to get vehicle started again.
