Description of the problem	I was driving my 2008 jeep patriot that has a manual transmission. I was coming up on a red light so i got ready to stop. The light turned green before i had to completely stop so i continued through the light and attempted to shift gears. When i put my foot on the clutch it went all the way to the floor. There was no pressure in the clutch at all. I pressed the gas in an attempt to get off the road and out of the way of the vehicles that were coming up quickly behind me. The clutch was completely loose. I had to get out of the jeep and push it to the side of the road. I was so upset and disappointed! I had literally only had the jeep patriot for 1 month. A police officer had to park his patrol car behind me with his blue lights on to warn people i was there so i would not get hit by another vehicle. I had to get the patriot towed to my house. The brake/clutch fluid had made a puddle on the side of the road. Well i got a mechanic that i know to come to my house and take a look at it. First of all the clutch line had "slipped off" and had to be put back on. And for that to happen by itself like that is scary. I ordered a new clutch release bearing&slave cylinder assembly. This has been put on and the line bled. That was finished up on thursday and today is sunday. I got in it this morning and it would not let me shift gears. I turned it off and cranked it again. This time the whole front of the patriot was shaking. I turned it off. I pumped the clutch for a bit and cranked it again and it finally worked. I drove to work and all seemed fine. After work when i cranked it, it would not shift gears. I had to turn it off and pump the clutch a bit and crank it again before it would go. I have noticed hundreds if not thousands of people with clutch issues, slave cylinder issues and a ton of other issues with the 2008 jeep patriot. Something needs to be done about this!!!
