| I purchased a 2008 jeep patriot in april 2008. within the first three months of owning the vehicle we began to experience a problem with the vehicle stalling while in drive. if i take my foot off the gas and coast the engine will sputter and die. i've had the vehicle in the shop 4 times now and they cannot tell me what is wrong with it nor have they fixed it. i am frustrated that the problem cannot be fixed and continues to happen. when the vehicle stalls i have to put it into park and then turn it back on. they have reset the computer and that did not help. other than that, they tell me to decarbonize the engine and replace the spark plugs. *tr | |||

| Vehicle intermittently stalls at highway speeds, rpm's noticeably drop approximately 500 before automatically restarting and recovering. no check engine light has come on during any experiences of this complaint. i have had this happen numerous times on 3 separate trips it doesn't occur until around 40-60 miles into trip well after vehicle is fully warmed up, vehicle will return to normal function for weeks at a time. vehicle will be going in for service on 03/23/09, i'm not confident the problem will be resolved due to intermittent habit of problem. *tr | |||
