“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”

“I purchased this vehicle last fall in a private sale. The vehicle appeared to be in good condition and well taken care of. 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. The transmission light came on and I pulled to the side of the road where I waited for 10 minutes and begain driving again. …”

“My Patriot with 108k miles stalled at 75 MPH on the highway 3x last night on a 3 hour drive. It also stalled 4x times today on my 10 min way to drop it off at the dealership. Once while idling and 3x while driving at different speeds. Once while I was turning. I've read online that this has been happening quite a bit to 2011 Jeep patriots and even caused a car to be totalled. Please investigate this.”
