What owners wrote

Jeep in motion, engine stalls at varies speeds multiple times in a row. Headed straight or turning, had to call tow truck but after 20 minutes I tried to turn over my jeep and it started. This happened 3 different times before arriving home. Kept call center rep. On phone until I was 2 miles away from my home. 1 time jeep paused like not getting gas then I pressed the pedal and it accelerated (all right in the middle of intersection) then drove the remaining mile and a 1/4 home while on phone with husband.
