Had an issue with my 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The vehicle would just randomly die while running down the road. No warning, just completely shut off. I would lose power steering and everything. I could try to put it in N and start it again. Sometimes it would. Sometimes I would have to pull over to the side of the road.

At first I thought it was a bad fuel pump. But I wasn't getting the surge and lack of power that might be associated with a fuel pump issue. So I ended up taking it to a local mechanic. Once he hooked it up to his scanner he could see that it was an issue with the Crankshaft position sensor. There is a recall for "some" 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokees related to this part:

My VIN didn't qualify for this recall. But it obviously had a problem with the sensor. Replacing it did fix the issue. It starts immediately now and runs great. I've made a few trips into town and it hasn't died a single time.
