Description of the problem	I bought my 2006 jeep grand cherokee laredo 4x4 used at 40,000 a year ago this month. Shortly after owning it it started stalling while in motion or stopped in gear such as a traffic light. When sitting still, coasting and slowing down, the vehicle would die. The instrument panel did not light up and everything seemed normal until i took my foot off the brake to accelerate or just accelerated from a coast (such as a school zone slowly moving traffic), then i would realize the car had stalled. If i was on a hill going up the car would take off backwards. Dies turning into parking lots, etc. I loose power steering. The brakes stopped me if i applied them. However, if i was in the forward moving position, i would just throw it in neutral and re-start the engine without problem. This concerned me, because i buy my vehicles used, i did not know if dirty injectors and throttle body was causing carbon residue to clog the injectors so i had it all cleaned. That did not fix the problem. I started researching on this site and spoke to the guys that do my service. The researched and found a notice about safety. I went to jeep website and found that there was such a notice about the brake system failure but no recall. Several weeks later i received a recall notice and 2 computer flash updates were needed. This fixed my problem, at least since late november 2007.
