“Since I bought this in 2011 it has always idled rough and stalled randomly. Apparently there is no fix for this random stalling and it has almost caused me to get in several car accidents and one time to crash on the sidewalk and almost harm pedestrians. Unfortunately I think I will be forced to sell this vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #11252669, filed 2019-09, 55,000 miles“I will be driving my Jeep Patriot and it will just stall out. I have to wait for a while and it starts up. It will again stall or run fine for awhile. The last time I was entering the 10fwy in los angeles and it stalled nearly causing a major accident. I had my 3 young kids with me. Now it sits in my garage as I make monthly payments. Help me”

This happens as I turn the car back on and begin driving right after filling the tank full of gas.”

About two weeks after acquiring this vehicle, I was driving along the interstate on a 50 minute trip and the vehicle began to slow down despite being on cruise control.
