Consumer Description

ENGINE OCCASIONALLY STALLS WHEN BRAKING. I ORIGINALLY ONLY NOTICED IT WHEN PARKING AFTER 30-50 MINUTES OF DRIVING. ON 28 JAN 07, JEEP STALLED ON 31W WHILE APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT. THERE WAS A CHIME, A RED LIGHT IN UPPER RIGHT OF DASH STARTED TO BLINK, AND THE MESSAGE CENTER STATED PROGRAMMING ACTIVE. AFTER ABOUT 30 SECONDS, THERE WAS ANOTHER CHIME, THE MESSAGE WENT OUT, AND I COULD RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THEN, ALL WHILE BRAKING. *NM
