The vehicle started to decelerate and stall. It is 6 years old. It needs a new transmission. This is an outrage. I have had new cars many times, driving them >175,000 miles. Chrysler needs to take responsibility

Engine lurches and stalls after filling tank. Will do so 3 or 4 times, then settle down and run. Dangerous trying to enter traffic. No stall problem between fills. Many people having same problem as shown here: https://www.cargurus.com/cars/discussion-t29898_ds631498

Car decelerates while driving almost stalling at times, I have taken it to the dealership several times and they state they cannot duplicate the problem but I don't think they tried since they had my vehicle for two days for diagnostics/testing driving and drove less than 10 miles. Vehicle is very unsafe. This is the 2nd patriot I have owned and will be my last.

I noticed 4 weeks ago that my 2013 jeep was skipping really bad. I took it to the dealership and they said that nothing was wrong with it. Now it skips and engine stalls. I have only had this jeep for 6 months. I am scared to drive it, the dealership told me to wait till it throws a light and then they can put it on a machine to find out what the problem is. In the meantime I am driving around my 15 month grand daughter. Something needs to be done about this before some one ends up dead.

Engine stalled while driving at 70 MPH on the hwy! It just stopped without warning! Car would not start until nearly two hrs later. We were very lucky we didn't get hurt or worse and were able to coast to the shoulder. I had a small child in the car that rides with me daily, please investigate and recall, we are all lucky to be alive! Taking it to the dealership tomorrow because they wouldn't take it sooner because they said I didn't have an apt! They said w/o any lights on they prob. Wont do anything! Please help before someone dies!

Vehicle stalls without warning and leaves the driver without power steering, loss of all control until the car is restarted. When slowing down from higher speeds with clutch pushed in the car stalls. It is a random problem. First time - as I was slowing down to make a turn I pushed in the clutch then the brake and started to make my turn and about to put the car into second gear, I realized I had no control since the car stalled while in the middle of the turn with traffic coming. I was able to get the car started again and get out of the way of oncoming traffic. This has happened dozens of times. From the first week of driving, this has been a problem. It is hard to recreate the problem since it catches the driver by surprise each time. Each time the driver is left without control. This is a major safety issue.
