Car stalls while driving with no warning. Stalls on freeway or in city driving. This is an infamous manufacturing defect on 96 Jeep. Very hazardous because engine cuts out completely while in motion. Requires pulling over with engine not running to restart engine. Jeep then will repeatedly die after re-starting. Since engine dies while in motion, cars behind are in real danger of colliding with my vehicle. This issue is almost impossible to fix with normal mechanical problem-solving. Engine light does not come on. This issue is well documented in online blogs for Jeep with this problem. This problem with stalling while in motion poses a great threat to public safety. Jeep/Chrysler is aware and does not acknowledge the problem.
