What owners wrote

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.

Reported at 125,000 miles, October 2017 Crash

This has been occurring for the last three years or so. Everytime I fill up the gas tank, with in a couple of blocks of driving away from the gas station the jeep stops and I loose power steering. I own a 2008 jeep patriot and I purchased in 2007. I do not look forward to filliing up the tank, because I know what happens and it does.
