I shut off my car, and ran into the gas station. I came back out, started my car, and went to drive away. There was traffic coming, so I hit the brakes to let them go by before pulling out. When it was clear I released the brakes and my jeep died and proceeded to roll into oncoming traffic. I shifted to park and quickly started it and put it in reverse to avoid getting hit. It started right back up with no problems. This is the first time it has happened. Any ideas?
