AFTER FUELING WITH GAS, MY VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY STALLED. IT WAS THEN FINE AFTER I RESTARTED IT UNTIL I GOT TO A ROUNDABOUT WHERE IT STALLED AGAIN, LOSING ALL POWER STEERING, BRAKES, POWER, SPEED, IN HEAVY TRAFFIC.

JUST OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY MY WIFE'S 2007 PATRIOT 2.4L STARTED TO FAIL TO START. IT WAS VERIFIED THAT IT WAS NOT THE BATTERY, PCV VALVE, STARTER, OR A FUEL ISSUE. IT WOULD SIMPLY NOT START WHEN LEFT IN THE SUN (IN SUCH AS A PARKING LOT). ALL OF THE ACCESSORIES WORKED. IT WAS TOWED TO THREE DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS ON SEPARATE OCCASIONS. NO ONE COULD FIGURE IT OUT. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND RECEIVED A COMPLAINT NUMBER. CHRYSLER REIMBURSED ME FOR THE THINGS THE DEALERSHIPS CHARGED ME TO REPLACE AND EVENTUALLY SAID THAT THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRO…

RECURRENT WATER LEAK THROUGH THE INTERIOR CARGO AREA LIGHT/FLASHLIGHT. THE INTERIOR LIGHT IS FLOODED WITH WATER WHEN IT IS RAINING OR WHEN THE CAR IS WASHED. THE WATER ACCUMULATES INSIDE THE LIGHT AND DRIPS TO THE CARGO AREA. THE REAR DOOR RUBBER WAS CHANGED AND A ROOF SEAL WAS REPOSITIONED. THE DEALER HAS TRIED TO FIX THE WATER LEAK 3 TIMES. I AM AFRAID A FIRE OR SHORT CIRCUIT CAN OCCUR, WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN USE. *TR
