Has this happened to any of you?
I have the Sport S Auto with cheap tow package.

1st time the engine stalled, I was climbing a sort of steep/bumpy hill and the the engine stalled.
Keep in mind this is not a manual transmission. While climbing another hill the engine stalled again.
This can be a dangerous situation.

I also have a 2014 JKU and this has never happened on the same hills.

The second time the engine stalled.
I was driving down the freeway coming up to a split in the freeway where the road split to go North or South,
To go north traffic had to merge to the left, to go south traffic had to merge to the right.
Driving in the right lane to go south, an outstanding awesome driver cut me off to get into the left lane going north and I had to cut the wheel so hard to the left I almost went sideways, at 65 mph it scared the crap out of me but the truck handled it extremely well except... the engine stalled and I had to come to a complete stop and push on the brake before it would start again.

Any ideas as to why the truck would stall in these scenarios?
Could this have something to do with auto Stop/Start, roll over protection, ABS, traction control, etc?

Thank You,

Plugged fuel filter from dirty gas? Ignition system? I would definitely take it to the dealer for a checkup.
