Really? I bet theres a setting for that. My mother has a Cherokee similar to
the one you had although yours was a Trailhawk which is an upgrade model. Hers
doesn't shut off at stoplights...
BTW my mother's Cherokee is a surprisingly good offroader. We took it up the
worst trail at camp which is littered with springs and gets real soupy. The
trick is to let the traction control do its thing and just keep slogging, it
finds traction and just keeps going. I just talked to my folks and dad says
they've ripped a bunch of the plastic off the bottom but it hasn't gotten stuck
and its been very wet up there.

The Jeep I had at last year’s ‘Que was one of those cars that shuts off when
you come to a stop and starts as soon as you press on the gas. Freaked me out.
Did not like.
