Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2012 JEEP PATRIOT, I PURCHASED NEW ABOUT A YEAR 9 MOUTHS AGO, IT HAVE 13000.00 MILES, I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY ABOUT 60 MPH AND THE ENGINE QUIT RUNNING AS IF IT RAN OUT OF GAS, I PULLED OVER IN VERY HEAVY TRAFFIC AND TRIED STARTING AFTER CHECKING FUSES AND ALL POSSIBILITIES. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER AND NOW THE FUN BEGINS. AFTER 2 HOURS AND DROPPING THE CAR AT THE DEALER THE CAR STARTED, I LEFT THE CAR AT THE DEALER AND THEY SAID NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR. AFTER INVESTIGATING THE WEB I FOUND THIS SITE AND WE PRESENT THE INFORMATION I FOUND HERE TO THE DEALER, THE DEALER WANTS TO RETURN TO CAR AND AT THIS TIME I AM NOT WILLING TO EXCEPT THE CAR WITH THIS UNSAFE CONDITION. JEEP SHOULD RECALL THESE CARS AND FIX ASAP BEFORE A FATALITY TAKES PLACE. THE JEEP DEALER WILL NOT DO ANYTHING AT THIS POINT. I WOULD LIKE A SUGGESTION BECAUSE THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. *TR
