2012 Patriot. Yesterday I was driving back to work from my lunch break and my car felt slower and then shut off in the turning lane. It cranked but wouldn’t start. I got it towed home. Hours later when I got home, I started it and it cut right on.
Fast forward to today. I drove my car about eight miles with no issues. I then left to go pick up groceries later in the day. It cut off in the pickup spot. Went inside and bought starting fluid, made it about a quarter of a mile before it cut off again. Tried starting fluid again and it wouldn’t turn over and I felt the vehicle shaking. Thought maybe it’s a fuel pump issue and was just trying to make it home. Hit the fuel pump and the car drove for another half mile before cutting completely off. Waiting on a tow now. Any ideas?
