general problems of the 2007 Jeep Patriot

Unknown.

My children and I were driving 75 mph on the freeway when my Jeep Patriot randomly shut off without warning, the the vehicle gave no indication whatsoever that there was an issue it just stop, the cars behind us started to steam on their brakes running off the road, we had to drive off the side off the road to prevent getting hit. It's was so terrifying . The police came and wanted to give us a ticket for wreck less operperation of a vehicle and though I was under the influence of something. I began to cry. It took 10 minutes to restart car. This happened again a couple hours later with no warning. When we got back from our trip we took it to Ford marshall, nick mayer in mayfield ohio . It is documented there numerous times that this vehicle stalls randomly at high speeds but they cannot diagnosis the problem because the check engine light never comes on when this occurred and it is not sending a code to give them a diagnosis , so if they don't have a code , they can't warranty out the part to fix it for me to fix the issue. So then they send me home everythime and put me and my family in danger again. Today my car stalled again right in front of a police car. I just sat there and cried.

My vehicle started stalling when I was merging onto a busy highway. The electronic throttle sensor and stability sensor came on and I had to pull off on the shoulder of the road. The car was very hard to get to a stop. The breaks did not work very well and the car was jerking horribly. The car kept trying to die and would rev up and down by itself. It turned the car off and back on and it reset itself but it happened again.

Smelled burning plastic . . . Faint at first, but kept getting stronger. Pulled over to find the problem and saw flames coming out of the speaker in the left rear door. Half of the speaker cover was totally burned away. Poured water on the fire to put it out. Also poured water through window down behind the door panel to make sure any flames/sparks that weren't visible would be extinguished.

Water appears to be leaking through sunroof, with inner dome light filled with water. Potential electrical issue.

The vehicle stalls when idling during rain or wet conditions.

My 2007 Jeep Patriot continues to leak water from the interior. After being into the dealer 3 times in still leaks water from the front interior dome light, left and right front pillars. Water leaking into the car has caused electrical shortages in the sunroof, radio, and switches in the door.

About a year into purchasing the vehicle (purchased in Feb. 2008), the left rear window would lock and not roll up. The car would have to be restarted in order for it to work again. It was taken to the dealer who examined the problem and fixed it.

My daughter was driving my Jeep Patriot today. She noticed some smoke in the cabin & pulled over to the shoulder & got out just in time. By the time the fire dept got there, 10 min or so, the car was completely engulfed & it burned to the ground. It was a 2007 with 12,000 mi on it & was in perfect condition with no problems at all up until today. She said she smelled a little electrical smoke ( like burning plastic)just before & thought it was coming from the side of the road.

The contact owns a 2007 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated that while at a stop sign, the vehicle stalled. The failure recurred multiple times over the past seven years. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 300.

2007 Jeep Patriot - complete engine/electrics stall. Driving down a busy street and all the electronics and the engine turned off. Coasted into a side street, stopped, and put the car in park. It took about 2-3 turns of the key to start the Patriot back up. Happened around the 3k mile mark.
