Change fuel filter in 2011 keep compass,is the fuel filter separate from fuel system

What is your question?

Engine shuts off while driving but starts back up but runs rough at first then comes out of it and runs fine , doesn't happen that often , could it be the fuel filter or a more serious problem like crankshaft sensor?

What makes this problem better or worse?

Doesn't matter

How long has your 2011 Jeep Compass had this problem?
