Engine stalled while driving at 70 mph on the hwy! it just stopped without warning! car would not start until nearlty two hrs later.

I had a small child in the car that rides with me daily, please investigate and recall, we are all lucky to be alive! taking it to the dealership tomorrow because they wouldn't take it sooner because they said I didn't have an apt! they said w/o any lights on they prob. Wont do anything! please help before someone dies!.
I noticed 4 weeks ago that my 2013 Jeep was skipping really bad. I took it to the dealership and they said that nothing was wrong with it. Now it skips and engine stalls. I have only had this Jeep for 6 months. I am scared to drive it, the dealership told me to wait till it throws a light and then they can put it on a machine to find out what the problem is. In the meantime I am driving around my 15 month grand daughter. Something needs to be done about this before some one ends up dead.
The car had 1/4 of a tank of gas. While driving up a hill just outside of flagstaff, az the engine stalled and stopped running. The car would not start even after sitting for at least an hour. At the dealership the car started right up. The dealership in flagstaff said that it had run out of gas because of a design flaw and that they have seen this before. They told us that even though there was gas in the tank if it is less than half full and you go up a hill this will happen. It was scarey as there was no power steering or power brakes. It was lucky that there was no traffic on the road near us at the time. Jeep did a recall of the Patriots in 2012 for a similar problem and it seems to me that the design problem was not fixed in the 2013 models.
