A week after purchasing the 2008 jeep patriot from a used car dealership the jeep stalled after filling up the tank. I called the dealer and he said to put dry gas in the tank. I did and the jeep would jerk a few times after refueling. On 1/14/15 the jeep stalled in the middle of a busy street minutes after my 17 year old filled the tank. Thank god she did not get into an accident. This is extremely dangerous since the jeep stalled without warning. I took the jeep to my mechanic but he couldn't identify the issue. I know there are jeep owners who are experiencing the same problem and the manufacturer is doing nothing about it. Please investigate before someone gets into a fatal accident.

The car was in drive, however the gas pedal was not accelerating the car. It jerked several times and felt like it was going to stall then the electronic throttle light came on for a short time then went out- I took it to my mechanic he confirmed the car needed the throttle body however there are none on long island there are more then 450 on backorder coming from overseas!!!! It has happened intermittently for the past week and I cannot get it fixed. I am afraid the it is dangerous. Apparently if I am not able to find this part on long island this may be an issue that jeep chrysler should be addressing. There are only 60k miles on this car.
