I rented a 2014 jeep patriot from one of the rental car companies on feb 17 2015 and used it for about five days before the following incident happened. On feb 22 , I was driving the car on I-5 going south. I made an exit after driving for about 2 hours on the freeway to refuel which I did. It was bright sunny day the time was around noon. I moved away from the gas pump and wanted to park it behind the gas station.
