Description of the problem	This suv has the energy efficient shutdown/restart feature. After being stopped at a traffic light, i re-engaged the engine/transmission by lifting my foot off of the brake and began pressing the accelerator. There was very little power to accelerate, you could hear the grinding and pulling of the engine/transmission but only a little power. I put on the emergency hazard lights, looked around the dash for messages and verified that the gear was indeed in drive. I continued to press the accelerator to move the truck out of traffic. I made it to a driveway where i could pull off of the main street and not block the morning rush hour traffic. I put the truck in park, looked at everything again (no warnings or error messages) and put the truck in gear and it moved as it was supposed to do. I made it back to the street, went a short distance (less than 2 blocks), started to go up a small hill and the no power issue happened again. I was less than a block away from my destination, so i s-l-o-w-l-y made it to the top of the hill. I parked in my office's garage, reported to work and contemplated what to do. I have had this truck since the end of june and it has only 1,100 miles. I will be dropping it off/towing it in to the dealer repair shop tomorrow. This is dangerous and not acceptable jeep!
