SINCE THE FIRST YEAR THAT I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE, THE ENGINE HAS STALLED INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING! THIS HAPPENS WITHOUT NOTICE, NO LIGHTS GO ON, NOT DURING BAD WEATHER, ETC. THIS HAS HAPPENED 10-12 TIMES OVER THE PAST 4.5 YEARS; SOMETIMES AT SLOW SPEEDS BUT A FEW TIMES ON THE FREEWAYS! EACH TIME I CONTACT CHRYSLER OR MY JEEP …

SINCE THE FIRST YEAR THAT I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE, THE ENGINE HAS STALLED INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING! THIS HAPPENS WITHOUT NOTICE, NO LIGHTS GO ON, NOT DURING BAD WEATHER, ETC. THIS HAS HAPPENED 10-12 TIMES OVER THE PAST 4.5 YEARS; SOMETIMES AT SLOW SPEEDS BUT A FEW TIMES ON THE FREEWAYS! EACH TIME I CONTACT CHRYSLER OR MY JEEP DEALERSHIP AND HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP 6-7 TIMES FOR WEEKS ON END AND EACH TIME THEY "CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM" AND SEND IT BACK HOME WITH ME WITH NO RESULTS. THE CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT SIMPLY TELLS ME TO WORK WITH MY DEALERSHIP AND THE DEALERSHIP KEEPS MY CAR FOR A WEEK AND THE SAME THINGS HAPPENS WEEKS OR MONTHS LATER. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD WHICH COULD EASILY RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT WITH INJURIES OR FATALITIES AND JEEP DOESN'T SEEM TO CARE OR KNOW HOW TO FIX THEIR OWN FAULTY VEHICLE. IF I WASN'T STILL PAYING FOR THIS CAR I WOULD NEVER SET FOOT IN IT AGAIN BUT THUS FAR, I AM STUCK IN A DEATH TRAP OF A VEHICLE NOT KNOWING WHEN THE NEXT TIME WILL BE THAT I AM DRIVING AND MY CAR SHUTS DOWN. THE LAST INCIDENT WAS YESTERDAY 01/17/2012 AT APROX. 30 MPH. I AM SO FRUSTRATED WITH THIS CAR AND ITS MANUFACTURERS AND THIER LACK OF ACCOUNTABILITY. FROM READING THIS SITE AND OTHER JEEP FORUMS, THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM. MANY OTHER PATRIOT OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEMS AND JEEP HAS NOT HELPED ANY OF US. I HAVE KEPT ALL INCIDENTS WELL DOCUMENTED IN THE UNFORTUNATE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT SO THAT I HAVE A CHANCE TO PERSUE LEGAL OPTIONS AND FINALLY HOLD CHRYSLER ACCOUNTABLE.

DP17002 · Engine Stall After Refueling

NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) evaluated this petition by 1) reviewing the Vehicle Owner Questionnaire (VOQ) reports (i.e., complaints) submitted to the Agency, 2) reviewing the manufacturer's response to an Information Request letter the Agency produced, and 3) reviewing the investigative files for two prior Agency actions, specifically PE13-016 and DP14-002, both of which involved the same alleged defect condition and both of which were closed without a defect finding.Consistent with prior evaluations, ODI has determined that further investigation is unlikely to result in a finding that a defect related to motor vehicle safety exists given the conditions under which these stalls occur.Additionally, and as indicated by the failure report counts shown above, there have been no relevant crashes, injuries or fatalities identified by either ODI or the manufacturer despite the fairly significant service life of the subject vehicles.In view of the need to allocate and prioritize NHTSA's limited resources to best accomplish the agency's safety mission, ODI is denying petition.A detailed summary of ODI's analysis of this petition is available in the investigative file for this action, and will be published in the Federal Register also.The 39 VOQ reports cited above can be reviewed at NHTSA.gov under the following reference (ODI) numbers:10520767, 10582092, 10630009, 10632390, 10655183, 10661543, 10669824, 10679771, 10700955, 10714106, 10721350, 10721565, 10726070, 10749804, 10776405, 10777810,10783139, 10790325, 10794850, 10817500, 10818793, 10822168, 10823089, 10823234,10826088, 10836787, 10837871, 10846388, 10850984, 10851905, 10855663, 10862684,10897450, 10905638, 10914269, 10918942, 10944115, 10944318, 10948386
