| Car is stalling when stopped at a red light, or waiting to make a turn. it shakes violently and if it is not given gas immediately after shaking begins, engine will cut out. i have almost been hit because i have to turn the key and re-start the car. this happens every single day at least 5 times a day. i have brought it to the jeep dealership twice and $900 later, they can not tell me what is wrong with my car. i have not noticed any change at all after having the car serviced. | |||

| Since the first year that i bought this vehicle, the engine has stalled intermittently while driving! this happens without notice, no lights go on, not during bad weather, etc. this has happened 10-12 times over the past 4.5 years; sometimes at slow speeds but a few times on the freeways! each time i contact chrysler or my jeep dealership and have had it in the shop 6-7 times for weeks on end and each time they cannot duplicate the problem and send it back home with me with no results. the chrysler customer service department simply tells me to work with my dealership and the dealership keeps my car for a week and the same things happens weeks or months later. this is a huge safety hazard which could easily result in an accident with injuries or fatalities and jeep doesn't seem to care or know how to fix their own faulty vehicle. if i wasn't still paying for this car i would never set foot in it again but thus far, i am stuck in a death trap of a vehicle not knowing when the next time will be that i am driving and my car shuts down. the last incident was yesterday 01/17/2012 at aprox. 30 mph. i am so frustrated with this car and its manufacturers and thier lack of accountability. from reading this site and other jeep forums, this is not an isolated problem. many other patriot owners have experienced the same problems and jeep has not helped any of us. i have kept all incidents well documented in the unfortunate case of an accident so that i have a chance to persue legal options and finally hold chrysler accountable. | |||
