Identical issue as found with NHTSA # 10908927 vehicle stalls while driving and cannot be restarted without putting the vehicle in park. Purchased the vehicle used with 170,000 miles on it. Carfax shows great care into the vehicle, however within first 24 hours after purchase have found it to stall while driving and at idle near 6x. Have taken to auto repair shop/autozone/used ifixit code finder and nothing is found. This has created hazardous driving conditions as it will happen at random.

They vehicles conductor plate keep going out cause the vehicle to go into limp mode. The can happen at highway speeds suddenly causing the vehicle to decelerate suddenly in traffic. There are multiple reports on online forums of this happening even at low milage.
Was driving through town with no problem. Road turns into highway and speed limit is 65 mph. Tried to increase speed from 35 mph (town speed limit) and vehicle started slowing down and bucking and hesitating. Pulled off road and turned engine off for a few minutes. Could not increase speed to more than 25 mph. Towed home. Left alone for an hour and retried. Still have same problem. Tried this morning, still same problem. Will need to tow it to a garage. Check engine light also came on.
Key sticks in ignition. The more it is driven in one day, the worse it sticks. Will allow engine to shut off but does not allow key to go back to off position without taking out of park and shifting back to park. Took to dealership for diagnostic. Was told that shifter assembly needed replaced. Part was ordered, replacement is scheduled for next week. Has been happening off and on since mid September.
This morning the car would not start at all. Battery is 100%. All lights come on, everything else works fine but engine will not start. Vehicle is in excellent condition very low mileage. If this would have happened out in the bush we would be in serious trouble. Chatter on most of the Jeep forums confirms multiple no start issues across the Jeep product line.
