My wife was driving the jeep and it turned off on her twice trying to get it back home. all electrical went out and engine stalled. after the second time it only goes 10 mph and still stalls and powers off. it is very dangerous and i feel something should be done from the number of complaints on the web.

Checkengine light came on while driving on a back road. i had a diagnostic check done, being told that i have not one but two catalytic converters and my front catalytic converter is bad and needs replaced. per the jeep dealership, this is a problem with the patriots and many have been recalled, just not mine, how can this be?i lost power for a bit, cut car off and then back on, smell eggs and burn a lot of gasoline

2014 Jeep Patriot

The partriot randomly stalls while travelling at any speed. the engine shuts off and car has to coast to a stop. it is extremely dangerous and only a matter of time before someone is injured or killed. multiple mechanics and the jeep dealership have no clue as to how to fix the problem. online research shows this is a major issue for many jeep owners, not just patriots. jeep / chrysler has a major issue and will not acknowledge or address it. if they refuse to do anything, they should be prepared to pay for their lack of addressing this critical issue. it takes less than a minute to search and see how many people are affected with engine stalling issues with jeep automobiles. i hope the nhtsa will conduct a thorough review of these issues and force more attention to be given to the serious issue. i bought this car for my daughter and now we can't let her drive it because it is too dangerous. we have spent over $2k trying to address this issue. there are no recalls or other assistance that jeep can or will offer.
