 My patriot stalled on the freeway. this was the second time this has happened. i took it to the mechanic where they said this could have been from a faulty gas gauge and i was out of gasoline. i do not think this was the case. *tr

 Jeep seems to get revved up and gets stuck there, and i can't seem to stop it short off shutting it down. last time this happened was on 10/8/12 as i was getting on freeway. i was not going more than 30 miles an hour when all of a sudden it revved up to about 5. however, when i took foot off gas it did not go down, even after tapping brake. also, even after giving gas again, could barely get it to move so i could get to side of road,(thank goodness nobody was behind me) as i coasted over and shut it down right there, after restarting it was fine. my mom and sister were with me and can verify what happened. this has actually happened a couple of times before, but never when entering freeway! the first time it happened was 2010 and i called dealer right after incident,(actually shut jeep off and called right away), don't think they believed me. jeep also feels like it is going to stall (more often this year), especially at lights, have to give it gas while waiting. i mentioned this also at last oil change at dealer, nobody seems to think there is a problem. after hearing about incidents with 2011 and 2012 models i thought i should document mine as may be same problem. *tr

 2010 jeep patriot. consumer writes in regards to vehicle design flaw that was repaired. *smd
12/29/2012205001
 Bought a used 2010 jeep patriot a month and a half ago with less than 20,000 miles on it and no apparent problems. drove my car on december 29th after coming back from christmas vacation and was greeted by a waterfall coming out of my map light. after stopping, also discovered a lake of water behind the drivers seat. since i discovered this late in the day that saturday, and the new year's holiday was the beginning of the week, i couldn't get my car into the dealership for service until thursday. in the mean time, it rained again and i had yet another water disaster to deal with. *tr
TIRES
03/10/2011150001
 Tire low sensor was activated. upon checking tire pressure, noticed two valve stems were broken off. they were replaced at owners expense as chrysler said it wasn't covered under warranty. car currently has three more broken stems. material seems to be defective and cannot replace stems without replacing entire sensor. *tr
