NHTSA Complaint #10693358 — 2008 JEEP PATRIOT

I GOT THIS JEEP 2 MONTHS AGO FROM A DEALERSHIP IN SAN ANTONIO. ON MAYBE ABOUT 5 OCCASIONS WHEN I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT THE WHOLE ENGINE SHOOK LIKE IT WAS JUST GOING TO TURN OFF, LUCKILY IT NEVER DID. THAT IS UNTIL YESTERDAY, I GOT TO A STOP LIGHT HEADING HOME FROM WORK AND IT JUST TURNED OFF ON ME. NO SHAKING THIS TIME, NO WARNING AT ALL. THE RADIO AND EVERYTHING STAYED ON SO I KNEW IT WASN'T THE BATTERY, AND IT WOULDN'T EVEN CRANK WHEN I TRIED TURNING THE KEY JUST STAYED SILENT. MIND YOU SINCE THERE WAS NO WARNING AND I'M THE ONLY ONE IN THE CAR A 5'0" 118 LB WOMAN NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO PUSH IT SOMEWHERE SAFE ALL I COULD DO WAS THROW MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON AND HOPE I DIDN'T GET REAR ENDED WITH EVERYONE LEAVING WORK (5 O' CLOCK TRAFFIC WAS JUST STARTING) WHICH I DID ALMOST GET HIT AT LEAST 3 TIMES! AFTER A COUPLE MINUTES I TRIED AGAIN AND IT TURNED BACK ON. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND GOT ON THE PHONE WITH MY DEALERSHIP THEY'RE SO INCOMPETENT THOUGH I ALREADY KNOW THEY'RE GOING TO SAY THEY CAN'T FIND OUT WHY IT HAPPENED. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE AND I WAS FREAKING OUT LOOKING IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR SEEING CARS SLAMMING ON THEIR BRAKES. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED ASAP! *TR
