Just outside of warranty my wife's 2007 Patriot 2.4L started to fail to start. It was verified that it was not the battery, pcv valve, starter, or a fuel issue. It would simply not start when left in the sun (In such as a parking lot).

Car is stalling when stopped at a red light, or waiting to make a turn. It shakes violently and if it is not given gas immediately after shaking begins, engine will cut out. I have almost been hit because I have to turn the key and re-start the car.
