2007 JEEP PATRIOT 4X4 Complaints

OUR CAR IS SHUTTING OFF ON US WHILE WE ARE DRIVING IT. WE HAVE COME CLOSE TO SEVERAL ACCIDENTS BOTH ON THE HIGHWAY AND ON THE FREEWAY. THE CAR HAS BEEN TO A "CERTIFIED JEEP DEALER" SEVERAL TIMES. TO WHICH THEY TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO. I DON 'T KNOW IF IT IS THIS NEW MODEL OR WHAT THE CAUSE IS. *TR

WHISTLING SOUND WHEN AIR IS ON (NOT NECESARILY AC). HIGH PITCHED WHISTLING SOUND IS EVIDENT ANY TIME AIR IS BLOWING ON HIGHEST OR NEXT TO HIGHEST SETTING. A LITTLE ANNOYING... SOMETIMES ENOUGH TO MOVE IT TO A LOWER SETTING JUST TO REDUCE WHISTLING SOUND.
