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.
I was stopped at a traffic light and my vehicle stalled on me, it began to shake a bit before it turned off. In order to get the vehicle back on, I had to turn the key to off, put the vehicle in park, then turn the vehicle back on. Unfortunately, I've been having this issue since 2007 and we are in 2013. I have taken the SUV to Jeep multiple times and they cannot find the problem, even after leaving it for over a week. Last week, I was making a u-turn when the vehicle stalled on me once again. I drew the line and I'm ready to take legal action. My life was suddenly in danger as I had a vehicle approaching me at over 40mph. Something must be done to get these vehicles off the street. The worst part is that Jeep gave me a lifetime power train warranty but since they are unable to locate the issue with the vehicle I have had to live with this horrible vehicle and the worst service that Jeep offers.
The car stalled out since the first day I bought it (Jan. 1, 2008). It is now August 2014 and I still have this problem, except now it's a much more dangerous and bigger problem. If I go slow or stop to turn in the middle of an intersection, it stalls out. I almost got hit/killed today. The terrible part about it is that I've been complaining about this from day 1. Every time I take it to the dealership, they can never find the problem. I just tried calling Chrysler and they are telling me I've only taken it in once for this issue, which is not true at all. . Even if it was just once, they still didn't know what was causing the problem so they "could not fix it. ".
