While my mother in law was driving in afternoon traffic through town with my two young children (4 and 1 year old) in the car, the lights on the dashboard flashed and then the car bucked and stalled.
Towed to the mechanic and found a broken wire in the relay box at the starter relay needed to be replaced.
This car is dangerous. I am petrified that this will happen while driving on the highway. The car is a coffin on wheels. The electrically problems on Jeep Patriots are alarming and scary. I was warned by a mechanic not to buy this car but the price, the 4 wheel drive, and my love the Jeep design suckered me in. I cant wait to get rid of this death trap.
