Description of the problem	We have now had 2 episodes of our 2012 jeep patriot suddenly losing power while driving on the interstate at between 65 to 70 mph. The first time was on i39 in southern illinois when the temperature was in the 90s. We were able to pull off on to the shoulder. After several attempts we were able to restart the car and got to the nearest gas station. The indicator showed almost 1/2 tank of gas but after filling up the car ran well. We were listening to the radio and heard a report that several gas stations in southern wi had gotten gas contaminated with water. Since we live in that area we decided that this had been the problem. We did not report the incident. On sunday, 2/3/13, i was traveling on i94 in wi, temp 6 degrees, between 1/4 and 1/2 tank. . Again, the car began to lose power. I was able to pull off the road, barely, called jeep for assistance. The jeep would not restart at first, then, after 10 minutes did restart but wouldn't keep running. I was towed 45 miles to the nearest dealer. In the morning, the car started, the jeep garage checked it on the computer and found nothing. They thought that the gas line might have frozen up. This did not seem logical, but he did give me verification that it had been checked out and felt the car was safe to drive . I am very concerned about this happening again. We were lucky, but this could have caused a terrible accident.
