then restarts when the gas is depressed. Is this normal? I've had like 9 jeeps and this is the 5th Rubicon, never happened before. Any advice would be greatly appreciated on how to stop this

Normal. "Electronic Stop Start". There is a button to turn it off on the center stack. Needs to be turned off each time you start the vehicle up. Or you can hack /disable it as COSJL mentions with the link above.

Don't understand how this would stop the engine cutting off (then restarting with a gas pedal push!), this is idiotic on a vehicle like this, and not safe...
How exactly is it not safe? You can also just push the brake paddle half way and it should idle at a stop rather than shut off.

It should restart when you release the brake not depressing the gas.
Like mention above, there’s a button in the console you can turn it off if you don’t like it. I’ve learn to ignore it, after a month, finally feels normal.

That's how it's designed to work.

It is safe.

There's a big button to turn this feature off in your Jeep.
