Everytime I slowed down my jeep would cut off. I figured out I could get it to restart in neutral as I'm finding somewhere to coast off road, but would have to put in park to shift back to drive.

The problem seems to be the jeep using oil and then the engine starts shutting down to protect further damage. They filled with oil and it ran fine..
