2004 Jeep GC 4X4 stalls on city road
 

I was in stop-and-go traffic and the Jeep engine simply turned off. I
shifted the gear into Park and turned the key a few times. The
alternator would rotate, however, the engine would not start. I waited
for 15 seconds and turned the key and this time the engine started.
Otherwise, the Jeep runs great. Any insights? Should I take the Jeep to
the dealer? The Jeep has about 8000 miles on it. Thank you in advance.

What engine does it have? would the engine crank over?
If the engine cranked over it could be a fuel pump problem. If the engine
was just dead and would not crank it might be you Crank Position Sensor.
when the sensor goes it causes some strange things to happen anything from
just dying (which it will do) to starting right up again to not starting for
a couple minutes.

My mistake the engine is a I-6 not a V6.

The Engine does not crank at all, though the alternator is rotating. Is
the Crank Position Sensor a mechanical or electrical device? What do
you mean by "which it will do"?

Let me get this straight
Your saying the engine does not turnover (crank)
Yet your alternator is rotating.
Man you got big $$$ problems as your dealer would say to your wife :-)
