I was going down the freeway at 68 with cruise control on and when I tapped the brakes to kick the cruise off it slowly died and wouldn't restart, so had it towed and when it came off the truck it restarted(about an hour and a half later). My dealer contacted Chrysler and they said to change the fuel pumps(2) and fuel lines between tanks, this has been done but I haven't driven it much since. I heard on the radio that this or similar things had been occurring with this model so I wanted to put my 2 cents in and maybe here if there was a different fix for this problem>.
The contact owns a 2012 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated that he was driving approximately 68 mph with the cruise control engaged. The contact was approaching an off ramp and tapped the brakes to disengage the cruise control however, immediately after depressing the brakes the vehicle stalled. The contact tried restarting the vehicle but it would not respond. The vehicle was later towed to the dealer. After diagnosis, the technicians advised him that the fuel pump and the fuel lines between the fuel tanks needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired for two fuel pumps and the lines in between. The failure mileage was approximately 3,000. The current mileage was approximately 3,500. The VIN was unavailable.
