ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 50MPH, MY CAR STALLED. I ROLLED TO THE SHOULDER WITH THE RESIDUAL MOMENTUM. AFTER WAITING 3-5 MINUTES THE CAR WAS ABLE TO TURN OVER. I DROVE THE CAR UNTIL I COULD GET A SERVICE APPOINTMENT AT MY LOCAL CHRYSLER JEEP DEALER; DURING THAT TIME THE CAR CONTINUED TO STALL RANDOMLY. TWO DAYS BEFORE MY APPOINTMENT, MY CAR STALLED TO THE POINT WHERE IT WOULD NOT TURN OVER. I FIRST TOWED THE CAR HOME, THE FOLLOWING MORNING TOWED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP HAD MY CAR FOR 4 DAYS AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM OR DETECT THE ORIGIN OF THE MALFUNCTION. SINCE HAVING THE CAR IN MY POSSESSION , I HAVE HAD THE CAR STALL EACH DAY IN USE. THIS CAR HAS PROVEN TO UNPREDICTABLE BUT MOST OF ALL UNSAFE. *JS

SUSPENSION, SERVICE BRAKES
THERE'S A VERY LOUD SQUEALING SOUND WHEN BACKING UP. IT ALSO HAPPENS WHEN I RELEASE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE OR EVEN WHEN I LIFT MY FOOT OFF OF THE BRAKE PEDAL. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET IT LOOKED AT AND THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. THEY HEARD THE NOISE, INSPECTED MY BRAKES AND EVERYTHING BUT COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. COINCIDENTALLY, I WAS THE SECOND CUSTOMER THAT DAY WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. *TR

STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON ABOUT JANUARY 15, 2015, LESS THAN 2 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE AND WITH LESS THAN 1500 MILES, THIS VEHICLE ACCELERATED OUT OF CONTROL & I WAS UNABLE TO GET IT TO RESPOND BY BRAKING. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO BURDICK CHRYSLER JEEP IN CICERO, NY WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED & THEY WERE UNABLE TO PROPERLY DIAGNOSE/REPAIR THE VEHICLE & SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT.WHILE TRAVELING ON FEB 5 I EXPERIENCED AN ISSUE WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL NOT 'STAYING' WHERE IT WAS SET- CONTINUING TO ACCELERATE,THEN INSTEAD ABOUT 1/2 WAY TO OUR DESTINATION, I STARTED TO EXPERIENCE RANDOM ISSUES SUCH AS ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE AND THE VEHICLE BEHAVING AS IF IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. I LOCATED THE JEEP DEALER CLOSEST TO MY DESTINATION, SAFFORD CHRYSLER JEEP IN VA, & DROPPED THE VEHICLE OFF. SAFFORD HAD THE VEHICLE THE ENTIRE DAY OF FRIDAY, 2/06/15, & WAS UNABLE TO PROPERLY DIAGNOSE/REPAIR THE VEHICLE- SAYING THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. UPON RELEASING THE VEHICLE BACK TO US, HAVING DRIVEN ONLY APPROX.10 MILES, MY COUSIN HAD NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, THE VEHICLE BEGAN AGAIN ACCELERATING OUT OF CONTROL & WOULD NOT RESPOND TO NORMAL BRAKING WHILE MY COUSIN WAS DRIVING. WE CONTACTED JEEP CUSTOMER CARE BY PHONE TO REPORT THESE ISSUES THE EVENING OF FRIDAY, 2/06. THE JEEP IS CURRENTLY AT SAFFORD CHRYSLER JEEP IN SPRINGFIELD, VA, HAVING BEEN TOWED THERE ON SATURDAY, 2/07. WE WERE TOLD BY SAFFORD THAT THEY FOUND AN ERROR MESSAGE OF SOME SORT INDICATING THE GAS AND BRAKE WERE ENGAGED AT THE SAME TIME, WHICH IS IN KEEPING WITH OUR REPORT OF THE VEHICLE ACCELERATING ON IT'S OWN AND NOT RESPONDING TO BRAKING, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE PROBLEM THAT DAY OR THE FOLLOWING DAY PRIOR TO OUR DEPARTURE FROM VIRGINIA.THERE HAS BEEN A SERIOUS LACK OF RESPONSE FROM TO BURDICK CHRYSLER JEEP IN CICERO, NY, SAFFORD CHRYSLER JEEP IN SPRINGFIELD, VA, &JEEP CUSTOMER CARE. *TR

IT TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND IT RESET ITSELF BUT IT HAPPENED AGAIN. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING AT BOTH HIGHWAY AND RESIDENTIAL SPEEDS MY JEEP PATRIOT WILL SUDDENLY, WITHOUT WARNING , LOSE POWER . THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS AT ~85,000 AND NOW OCCURS EVERY 50 MILES OR SO. ENGINE SHUT DOWN IS RANDOM WITHOUT WARNING AND HAS RESULTED IN NEAR COLLISIONS, AS I STRUGGLE TO GET OUT OF THE MOVING TRAFFIC LANE. ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON AFTER OCCURRENCE AND REMAIN ON UNTIL CAR HAS SET FOR THE NIGHT. ENGINE DIAGNOSTICS DO NOT APPEAR TO EXPLAIN PROBLEM PER REPAIR CENTER REPORT. *TR

SUSPENSION
AT JUST OVER 50,000 MILES THE LOWER CONTROL ARMS WENT OUT ON MY 08 JEEP PATRIOT, NOW IN 2015 THIS PROBLEMS HAS SURFACED AGAIN THIS TIME IT IS THE CONTROL ARM AND THE OUTER TIE RODS. LOOKING THIS UP ON THE INTERNET THIS APPEARS TO BE A CONSISTENT PROBLEM WITH THE JEEP PATRIOTS. WHERE MY WIFE WORKS THEY HAD A COUPLE OF THESE JEEPS THAT THEY USED AS COURTESY VEHICLES AND AFTER ONLY A COUPLE OR YEARS AND MINIMAL DRIVING AROUND A HOSPITAL CAMPUS THEY HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THEIRS. WHILE THERE WAS NOT AN ACCIDENT MY MECHANIC JUST CALLED AND SAID THIS WAS REALLY BAD AND COULD HAVE LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT IF WE HAD NOT BROUGHT IT IN WHEN WE DID. THESE VEHICLES SHOULD NOT BE FAILING LIKE THIS AND THIS IS AN OBVIOUS DESIGN PROBLEM AND MANY CUSTOMERS ARE BEING FORCED TO PAY FOR THEIR OWN REPAIRS. WHAT DOES IT TAKE BEFORE THESE ARE RECALLED? DOES IT TAKE SOMEONE GETTING SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED? *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
UPON BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, I NOTICED A VIBRATION AND RELATED NOISE COMING FROM BEHIND THE FIREWALL OF MY JEEP; HOWEVER, AFTER PLACING THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL WHILE SHIFTING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE THE NOISE WENT AWAY. UPON PLACING THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE AND ACCELERATING TO 5-10 MILES AN HOUR THE VIBRATION AND NOISE, WHICH I CAN ONLY DESCRIBE AS A IDLING MOTORCYCLE RETURNS. IF THE JEEP IS TRAVELING AT A SPEED UNDER 20 MPH OR SITTING IN DRIVE AT A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN THIS ISSUE IS PRESENT. WITHIN ABOUT A WEEK OF THIS HAPPENING, THE JEEP HAD ISSUES STARTING. ONCE THE KEY WAS PLACED IN THE IGNITION AND AN ATTEMPT TO START THE CARE WAS MADE, THE ENGINE HAD DIFFICULTY STARTING. IT WOULD ENGINE WOULD TURNOVER SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IT WOULD FINALLY START. I CAN ONLY DESCRIBE IT AS THE SAME EXPERIENCE AN INDIVIDUAL WOULD EXPERIENCE WHEN STARTING A CAR AFTER REPLACING THE CARBURETOR. WHEN THIS OCCURS THE JEEP WILL STALL WITHOUT ABY EXPLANATION. OF COURSE, WHEN IT HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY ARE UNABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM AND EXPLAIN THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. *TR

POWER TRAIN
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!!! *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
JUST AFTER PURCHASING MY JEEP BRAND NEW WITH ONLY 17 MILES ON IT, AROUND APPROXIMATELY 4500 MILES, THE BRAKES STARTED MAKING NOISES WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND INFORMED THE TECHNICIAN ABOUT THE PROBLEM, AND HE STATED IT WAS HAPPENING TO ALL THE VEHICLES THAT YEAR WITH THE SPECIFIC BRAKES, AND WAS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT. THEN HE STATED THERE WERE NO RECALLS, BUT ALL THE JEEPS BRAKES THEY WERE SELLING WERE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I SPOKE TO ANOTHER COUPLE THAT CONTACTED JEEP DIRECTLY, AND THEY HAD REPLACED THE BRAKES, BUT THE DESIGN WASN'T DIFFERENT AND THEIR BRAKES ALSO WERE MAKING NOISES ON THEIR BRAND NEW JEEP. CURRENTLY, THE BREAKS SQUEAK, AND HAVE SINCE JUST AFTER OWNING THE CAR. ITS DISTRACTING TO THE DRIVER DUE TO THE NOISE, AND I HAVE ALMOST GOTTEN INTO AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE NOISE. MY CAR HAS BEEN CHECKED ALMOST EVERY TIME I GO IN TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY JUST KEEP REPEATING THE SAME THING. BEING A BRAND NEW CAR, THIS SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING. TO THIS DAY THIS STILL IS AN ISSUE, AND I AM AT A LOSS AS TO WHAT CAN BE DONE. THRU RESEARCH, EVERY JEEP OWNER I HAVE SPOKEN WITH THAT HAS A 2013, OR 2014, THIS IS AN ISSUE. HOPEFULLY SOMETHING CAN BE DONE TO GET MY JEEP FIXED PROPERLY. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
EVERY TIME AFTER I PUT FUEL IN MY JEEP, IT WILL STALL 2 TO 3 TIMES WHEN IDLING OR GOING UNDER A CERTAIN SPEED. THIS GETS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AT INTERSECTIONS, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO TURN AND IT STALLS OUT MID-TURN. THE PROBLEM STARTED SPORADICALLY AT FIRST, BUT NOW IT HAPPENS EVERY SINGLE TIME THAT I PUT FUEL IN MY JEEP. BEFORE FINDING THIS SITE, I DID A TON OF RESEARCH ONLINE AND IT LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR JEEP. CHRYSLER SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE BECAUSE IT CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I WENT TO MY LOCAL GAS STATION TO REFUEL MY JEEP. AFTER PUMPING IN 38 CENTS THE PUMP CLICKED. I REMOVED THE NOZZLE AND TRIED AGAIN AND IT CLICKED ONCE MORE. IT TOOK 11 MINUTES TO PUMP MY TANK FULL. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER WHO REFUSED TO HELP WITH ANY ASSISTANCE TO FIX MY VEHICLE AND STATED I WOULD FIRST HAVE TO PAY FOR A DIAGNOSTIC WITH A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP, (WHICH IN MY AREA NEVER ANSWERS THE PHONE AND NEVER HAS AN APPOINTMENT TIME OPEN) WANTS 115 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. I HAD MY FORD DEALER DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE AND THEY EXPLAINED THAT THE VENT LINE IN THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK IS CLOGGED. ON THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE, ACCORDING TO ALLDATA, THIS PART IS NOT SERVICE ABLE WHICH MEANS I HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK WHICH IS QUOTED AT 922 FOR THE PART AND BETWEEN 400-600 FOR INSTALLATION. THAT IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE BECAUSE I REALLY DON'T SEE HOW REFUELING MY TANK WILL CAUSE THIS ISSUE. I THINK THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. *TR

I WAS AT A STOP SIGN WAITING FOR TRAFFIC TO CLEAR AND WHEN IT WAS CLEAR I PROCEEDED TO TURN OUT ON THE OTHER ROAD BY PRESSING THE GAS PEDDLE BUT THE JEEP ACTED AS IF I WAS NOT PRESSING ON THE GAS AT ALL. IT SEEMS AS IF IT WAS IN NEUTRAL FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN AFTER THAT IT PICKED UP SPEED BUT I ALMOST GOT HIT BY THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC. *TR

ENGINE, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
A WEEK AFTER PURCHASING THE 2008 JEEP PATRIOT FROM A USED CAR DEALERSHIP THE JEEP STALLED AFTER FILLING UP THE TANK. I CALLED THE DEALER AND HE SAID TO PUT DRY GAS IN THE TANK. I DID AND THE JEEP WOULD JERK A FEW TIMES AFTER REFUELING. ON 1/14/15 THE JEEP STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY STREET MINUTES AFTER MY 17 YEAR OLD FILLED THE TANK. THANK GOD SHE DID NOT GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SINCE THE JEEP STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. I TOOK THE JEEP TO MY MECHANIC BUT HE COULDN'T IDENTIFY THE ISSUE. I KNOW THERE ARE JEEP OWNERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM AND THE MANUFACTURER IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT. PLEASE INVESTIGATE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INTO A FATAL ACCIDENT. *TR
