Description of the problem	Car stalls at every stop. While driving high way speeds for a few minutes it drops down in speed causing you close call accidents because it is very sudden. If i drive the jeep and come to a complete stop regardless if at stop sign red light or behind traffic the car will turn off having me to turn the key in off position and put it in park to start it again. If i am on the highway driving i can be going 45 mph and all of sudden the jeep starts declining in its acceleration and will not go above 10mph. Also when initially starting up if i have to back up it turns off while in the middle of backing up. This issue is been known to happen to a few people who i know that own the same exact jeep or the 2013 model. Also have had it checked out and only thing that pops up is a code for the gas cap which i have replaced and still pops the code for it
