NHTSA Complaint #11252466 — 2012 JEEP PATRIOT

MY CAR STALLED AFTER BEING PARKED FOR 45 MIN. IN A PARKING LOT OF A LOCAL STORE, AS I ATTEMPTED TO BACK OUT OF THE SPACE. I RESTARTED IT AND AS I TRIED TO BACK OUT, WHILE MOVING ONLY A FOOT OR SO, IT STALLED AGAIN. IT MADE NO SOUND AT ALL WHILE TURNING THE KEY, BUT ALL THE ELECTRONICS WORKED, IE. LIGHTS, WINDOWS, RADIO, ETC. IT WOULD NOT RESTART, AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS, I LEFT IT THERE OVER NIGHT AND THE NEXT DAY IT RESTARTED, AND I DROVE IT FOR ABOUT A COUPLE OF MINUTES TO THE END OF THE LOT WHERE IT STALLED AGAIN WHILE MOVING ABOUT 5 MPH. IT WOULD NOT RESTART, SO I HAD IT TOWED TO A SHOP WHERE A FRIEND WORKS. THEY COULD NOT FIND THE CAUSE, BUT DID GET A CODE FOR THE ECU/ECM. I DON'T KNOW WHAT NUMBER THE ERROR CODE WAS, BUT THEY DON'T DO THOSE TYPES OF REPAIRS. IT REMAINS IN THEIR LOT AT THIS TIME AS I TRY TO FIGURE OUT MY NEXT STEP. IT IS A JEEP PATRIOT SPORT (2.4 L) AUTOMATIC WITH ONLY 17,500 ACTUAL MILES.
