FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
SINCE FEBRUARY 5TH, 2018, MY 2010 PATRIOT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 3 TIMES FOR STALLING ISSUES, ALL SEEMINGLY AFTER FILLING MY GAS TANK. THE STALLING HAPPENS WITHIN MOMENTS AFTER DRIVING AWAY FROM THE GAS PUMP, AND MY VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE TOWED EACH TIME, COSTING ME EVERY TIME. VARIOUS 'FIXES' HAVE BEEN MADE, INCLUDING NEW SPARK PLUGS, TRANSMISSION FUEL CHANGE AND MOST RECENTLY, A ESIM AND DETECTOR. THE LATEST MECHANIC AT THE JEEP DEALER THAT REPAIRS MY VEHICLE SAID THE ISSUE WAS FROM GASOLINE GETTING INTO THE ESIM AND CAUSING A SAFETY STALL. FROM OTHERS I HAVE READ FROM, THIS ISSUE IS VERY COMMON AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED PERMANENTLY AND CORRECT FOR OWNERS, IN PREVENTION OF INJURY OR DEATH. SOME I HAVE READ FROM MENTION THE ROLLOVER VALVE IN THE GAS TANK NEEDS REPLACEMENT, WHICH WOULD THEREFOR REQUIRE THE ENTIRE GAS TANK TO NEED REPLACEMENT, A HEFTY PRICE FOR SOMETHING THAT SEEMS TO BE THE ERROR ON CHRYSLERS' BEHALF. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE TO GO ON LONG TRIPS WITH MY VEHICLE, WHICH I PURCHASED PRE OWNED JUST LAST YEAR. PLEASE TAKE ACTION ON THIS ISSUE AS I KNOW MANY OWNERS ARE SUFFERING FROM THE SAME ISSUE THAT CAN BE DANGEROUS.

WHEELS
MY SON JUST CALLED ME AND THIS IS THE SECOND VALVE STEM WHICH HAS BROKEN OFF, ENDING UP WITH A FLAT TIRE. HE WAS ATTEMPTING TO UNSCREW THE VALVE STEM CAP WHEN THE STEM BROKE OFF AND THE TIRE WENT FLAT. THE FIRST ONE WHICH BROKE, SIMILAR SITUATION, APPEARED TO HAVE DEFECTIVE METAL OR FLAW. I BELIEVE THIS COMPONENT SHOULD LAST THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE (UNLESS DAMAGAE THROUGH AN ACCIDENT OR SIMILAR).

AIR BAGS
MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK TO JEEP DELEARSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT EVEN AFTER THE REPAIR, THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT THE AIRBAG WOULD DEPLOY. THEY PREFORMED THE REPAIR BUT THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS STILL ON. THEY SAID I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR SOME REWIRING IN THE DRIVER SEAT WHICH WOULD COST ABOUT $300. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE AIRBAG WILL JUST DEPLOY SPONTANEOUSLY OR NOT DEPLOY IN A COLLISION. WILL YOU PLEASE ADVISE ME WHAT IS SUPPOSE TO HAPPEN AFTER THIS RECALL AND WHAT I SHOULD EXPECT. THANKS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, STEERING
EVERY TIME I FILLUP MY JEEP I GET WITHIN 1 MILE OF GAS STATION IT BEGINS TO STALL. THIS HAPPENED EVERYTIME I FILL UP FOR THE PAST 5 YEARS. THE JEEP WILL JUST SHUTOFF AND THE POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING BEING THAT IT STALLED. THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO CRASH MANY TIMES AND TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED JEEP DEALERSHIP SAID I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE GAS TANK. DOING SOME RESEARCH LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS HAPPENING TO THEM AND BEING VERY COSTLY TO FIX. THE ITEM THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED IS THE (FUEL TANK ROLLOVER VALVE) JEEP DOESN'T MAKE A REPLACEMENT PART FOR THIS AND THAT IS WHY YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK. BELOW IS A WEBSITE ABOUT THE PROBLEM HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T29898_DS631498 HTTP://WWW.JEEPFORUM.COM/FORUM/F11/GAS-FILL-PUMP-PUMP-SHUTTING-OFF-WHILE-FILLING-1447396/

ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING AROUND 40 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY THE JEEP SLOWED DOWN AND STALLED. NO WARNINGS OR INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON AT THAT TIME. SHUT JEEP DOWN AND RESTARTED WAITING A FEW SECONDS BEFORE ACCELERATING. AT THE TIME OF ACCELERATING JEEP STUTTERED A BIT AND THEN DROVE FROM 5 MPH TO 20 MPH WITHOUT ENCOURAGEMENT FROM GAS PETAL. IMMEDIATELY APPLIED THE BREAK AND CAR STALLED AGAIN. AGAIN RESTARTED THE CAR TO MOVE OFF OF HIGHWAY AND THE THROTTLE INDICATOR LIGHT FINALLY CAME ON. NO INDICATIONS BEFORE STALLS HAPPENED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM. HAD TO HAVE THE FULL BODY THROTTLE AND FUEL INJECTOR REPLACED FOR 1500.00/2 DAY REPAIR. 2010 JEEP HAS 86,000 MILES ON IT. VERY CONCERNED THAT THERE WAS NO WARNING, LIGHT, OR CHANGE IN DRIVING BEFORE STALLING WITH KIDS IN THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY. IT COULD HAVE BEEN A DEADLY ACCIDENT HAD I NOT BEEN DRIVING AT 7 AM WITH NO TRAFFIC ON THE ROAD.

SAFTY RECALL N01 / NHTSA 13V-233 AND S61 / NHTSA 16V-668 I TOOK MY 2010 JEEP PATRIOT IN FOR THE ABOVE FACTORY RECALLS ON 11/21/2017 TO YOUNG CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF IONIA IN IONIA, MI AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX THIS RECALL. I WAS TOLD I WOULD BE CONTACTED WHEN PARTS WERE AVAILABLE BUT NOT OFFERED A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE UNTIL THE REPAIRS ARE MADE. I FEEL THAT IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT COULD HAVE THESE POSSIBLE LIFE THREATENING PROBLEMS.

MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBERS 61 NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 16V-668 RECALL STATUS RECALL INCOMPLETE. I HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THIS RECALL FOR OVER 12 MONTHS WITH NO AVAILABILITY FOR RESOLUTION. MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY REPLACEMENT PARTS IN SPITE OF THE EXTENDED DURATION OF TIME THAT HAS PAST. PLEASE NOTE THIS SAFETY COMPLAINT IS BEING MADE DUE TO THE ONGOING AND UNREASONABLE TIME FRAME I AM EXPERIENCING. I DON'T FEEL SAFE TO HAVE MY WIFE IN THE CAR DUE TO THIS RECALL. MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR OVER A YEAR AND I HAVE NO WAY TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. PLEASE INFORM ME OF HOW I CAN FOLLOW UP ON MY COMPLAIN.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ADDING FUEL TO VEHICLE TANK RESULTS IN FUEL GUSHING OUT OF FUEL FILLER PIPE. IT APPEARS THE FUEL TANK CANNOT VENT THE AIR IN THE TANK AS NEW FUEL IS ADDED AND THIS FORCES NEWLY ADDED FUEL BACK OUT OF THE FILLER PIPE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS AND COMMON PROBLEM REGARDING FAULTY ROLLOVER VALVES ON THE FUEL TANK ON SEVERAL JEEP MODELS/YEARS ACCORDING TO ONLINE FORUMS .

POWER TRAIN
I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN 2014 FROM THOROUGHBRED NISSAN IN TUCSON, AZ A FEW MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. NOW THREE YEARS LATER THE TRANSMISSION IS AGAIN SLIPPING AND HAS ALREADY CAUSED STALLS ON THE HIGHWAY. ONE OF THE TIMES THE JEEP STALLED JUST AS I SWITCHED LANES IN FRONT OF A SEMI ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY ,I WAS BARELY ABLE TO PULL THE CAR OVER AND OUT OF THE PATH OF THE TRUCK RIGHT BEFORE THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER IN CALIFORNIA WHERE I NOW RESIDE AND THEY HAVE INFORMED ME I HAVE TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AND THERE IS NO LONGER NO WARRANTY. I HAVE ALSO TAKEN THE JEEP TO TWO OTHER PLACES THAT SPECIALIZE ON TRANSMISSION AND THEY HAVE BOTH INFORMED ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION UTILIZED IN THIS TYPE OF JEEP HAS MANY PROBLEMS AND THAT THEY WOULD RECOMMEND I BUY A NEW CAR ALL TOGETHER AS I AM LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE SIMILAR PROBLEMS IN ABOUT 2-3 YEARS IF I CHOOSE TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED, EVEN IF I CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN IT PROPERLY AS I HAVE BEEN. THIS JEEP IS ONLY 7 YEARS OLD AND IS ALREADY IN NEED OF IT'S THIRD TRANSMISSION. I HAVE RESEARCHED COMPLAINTS ON THIS VEHICLE AND TRANSMISSION FAILURE SEEMS TO BE COMMON IN THESE TYPE OF CARS. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO KEEP ALLOWING THESE CARS TO OPERATE WITH THE CURRENT FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS ESPECIALLY BECAUSE THEY START TO STALL WITH NO WARNING. I HAD AN EXTREMELY CLOSE CALL AND WOULD HATE FOR ANYONE TO STALL OUT WITHOUT NOTICE GOING FULL SPEED ON A HIGHWAY. MY CAR STALLED MANY TIMES BEFORE ANY LIGHT CAME ON, AND DEALERS AREN'T EVEN WILLING TO REPLACE A TRANSMISSION WITH SUCH LIGHT. PLEASE I URGE YOU TO REVIEW THIS PROBLEM AND FIND A SOLUTION. THIS PROBLEM FIRST SURFACED IN THE FALL OF 2016 AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. I RARELY DRIVE THIS CAR DUE TO THIS.I HAVE RESEARCHED OPTIONS AND FEEL THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE OVERHEATING. VERY DANGEROUS TO HAPPEN SPECIALLY IF YOU ARE IN THE FREEWAY. I BELIEVE THAT THEY MAKE THIS MODEL THINKING THAT DRIVERS WILL CONSIDER NOT TO ACCELERATE SPEED IN A HOT CLIMATE. CAR IS AT 75 MPH IN THE FREEWAY ON A HOT CLIMATE OF 80F.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MAYBE 5 MINUTES AFTER REFUELING MY GAS TANK, THE CAR WILL UNEXPECTEDLY LOSE POWER AND SHUT OFF. IT IS DIFFICULT TO RESTART. I END UP SITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF BUSY ROADS UNABLE TO RESTART MY CAR OR PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I HAVE GOOGLED THIS ISSUE AND FOUND NUMEROUS OTHER PEOPLE WITH JEEPS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. VERY DANGEROUS. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO BELIEVES IT IS A FAULTY ROLLOVER VALVE/SENSOR.
