Car Stall problems of the 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee

When the red light turned green, I try to proceed across the intersection when the car just died. The radio continued to play but I had no power steering. I managed to pull over and turn on my flashers. Meanwhile the radio continued to play. I put the car in park and try to start the car again and it did indeed start. If I had been driving on i75 going 70mph and the car stalled I would be in huge trouble. The goodyear mechanic could not find the problem.

This is the third incident since August of this year. Latest incident ocurred today, October 14, 2014. In each incident, the engine suddenly goes into a rough idle and eventually stalls with loss of power. I have been able to steer the car off the road and switch between off/start poistons until the vehicle starts. The vehicle runs normally after these incidents with no "check engine" light displayed. Reported the incident to Chrysler and they told me this year Jeep was not in scope of their recently announced recall for the same problem.

After driving prolonged time on xpressway and slowing down or stopping, the Jeep hesitates, misfires and lets out giant clouds of white smoke out tailpipe after accelerating with partial or full throttle. Almost caused major freeway accident multiple times trying to switch lanes or pull onto freeway onramp. Car been into dealership 3 or more times for same complaints. Since car throws no codes and dealership can't replicate the problem on their test drives, dealer just keeps handing the Jeep back to me and saying no issue with Jeep. My Jeep has also stalled under hard braking on at least one occasion. Very dangerous condition(s) with no satisfaction from dealer service department. Chrysler also contacted and opened case file. They wouldn't authorize any work to be done to the Jeep either. Car has been serviced properly, has 90k miles currently and a lifetime warranty from Chrysler which seems worthless as Chrysler won't pick up a screwdriver to look for problem if the Jeep doesn't throw a code. Absolutely nuts.
