Description of the problem	While company employee was driving the vehicle, without warning, the engine shuts down. It has happened numerous times, at highway speeds, and also in town in traffic without warning. The jeep dealer said it needed an oil change, but the oil life monitor says there is still 56% oil life remaining. After the oil change, the problem seems to go away for a while. After researching, it appears to be related to the vehicles hydraulically driven variable valve timing. Jeep says the vehicle is low on oil, that's why the oil change fixes the problem, but no oil light or any other warning ever comes on. The vehicle just dies and then restarts after coasting off the road or stopping in the middle of traffic.
