Your Jeep pulls to one side while driving and the transmission overheats when you drive over 80 mph, causing the engine to shut off. This is a serious drivability issue that needs immediate attention. The fix will likely involve diagnosing the transmission cooling system and addressing the pulling issue, which could involve wheel alignment or suspension inspection.
