| I bought my 2007 jeep patriot brand new and it has been nothing but problems ever since. today is the final straw and something needs to be done to chrysler. everytime i press the brakes to stop, my engine stalls out. this problems frequency seems to have increased since it is raining. my patriot has stalled previously throughout the years but they were isolated incidences or so i thought. after reading jeep forums online, i see this is a recurring problem which jeep is not addressing. this is a major safety hazard as i live in a highly congested area. stalling on the expressway or in the middle of an intersection can lead to accidents and i am concerned about my safety. this isn't the only problem i have had with this car. appearantly its not uncommon to have to replace both lower control arms containing the ball joints at 30k miles. i have had to replace all four tires due to irregular wear and tear from defective parts. even after an alignment, at high speeds the car vibrates harshly. the transmission struggles when accelerating. i perform regular maintenance on my car and should not be experiencing these issues. the dealerships won't do anything about these problems because they have not been addressed by daimler chrysler. this is unacceptable for any manufactured car. i cannot believe jeep gets away with all these safety hazards and nothing is being done about it. | |||

| Our car is shutting off on us while we are driving it. we have come close to several accidents both on the highway and on the freeway. the car has been to a certified jeep dealer several times. to which they tell me there is nothing that they can do. i don 't know if it is this new model or what the cause is. *tr | |||
