Have had my jeep for 6 years its always stalling I took it to jeep chrysler dodge, firestone nobody can figure out whats wrong; it actually turns itself off and nobody knows why. This is dangerous this car needs a recall. I have read that 2012 models do this same thing but this one does it too.also the sunroof leaks as well and the rainwater goes into the lights.
My 2008 jeep patriot keeps stalling and is great mechanical condition .the car keeps stalling while in park and driving without warning which is a very dangerous condition.have mechanic trying to figure it out and he can't .seen other people with same problems but no answers. This needs to be recalled to figure out what is going on with this issue.
