Description of the problem	I was on the last stretch of my trip coming into reno nevada on interstate 80 west at the speed of 70 mph, when out of no where my 2012 jeep patriot shut off. It was not over heating no warning lights. I was very fortunate to maneuver my vehicle safely off to the side of the interstate without an accident occurring. A state trooper came up from behind within a few minutes thankfully. He asked me to sit in his vehicle while a tow truck driver was called because my vehicle was not in a safe place from the curve of the mountain and ongoing traffic. My jeep would not start and would stick with the key on the on start position continually turning over without engine starting. It was after hours by the time my vehicle was towed in to a jeep lithia dealership. To make a long story short, i was called to pick up my jeep and that they could not find nothing wrong with it, and that the mechanic started it right up several times. I asked if it was put on the diagnostics machine and the service department employee said yes, that it did not kick out any codes of any problems happening to it. I drove a couple hours more into california with no other problems happening.
