HAVE HAD MY JEEP FOR 6 YEARS ITS ALWAYS STALLING I TOOK IT TO JEEP CHRYSLER DODGE, FIRESTONE NOBODY CAN FIGURE OUT WHATS WRONG; IT ACTUALLY TURNS ITSELF OFF AND NOBODY KNOWS WHY. THIS IS DANGEROUS THIS CAR NEEDS A RECALL. I HAVE READ THAT 2012 MODELS DO THIS SAME THING BUT THIS ONE DOES IT TOO.ALSO THE SUNROOF LEAKS AS WELL AND THE RAINWATER GOES INTO THE LIGHTS. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND A JEEP TO ANYBODY EVER AGAIN, THESE CARS ARE NOT SAFE AND NO ONE CARES ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.I HAVE PAID TO GET IT LOOKED AT BUT THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT, I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT PROBABLY NEEDS A SYSTEM UPDATE THERE IS NOTHING WRONG BUT YET MY CAR TURNS ITSELF OFF ALL THE TIME GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS 65 MILES AN HOUR THE ENGINE STALLS AND SHUTS OFF THE SUNROOF HAS LEAKED AND POURED INSIDE THE JEEP SINCE THE DAY I HAD IT IT'S A VERY DANGEROUS VEHICLE IT NEEDS TO PLEASE BE INVESTIGATED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP PATRIOT. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR A YEARLY SAFETY INSPECTION, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED BY THE TECHNICIAN THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO CORROSION ON THE REAR SUBFRAME. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO CHARLIE'S MOTOR MALL (465 WESTERN AVE, AUGUSTA, ME 04330, PHONE NUMBER: (207) 622-7327) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SUBFRAME WAS CORRODED AND NEEDED ADDITIONAL PARTS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE SUBFRAME WAS COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY, BUT NOT THE INSTALLED PART. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 194,491.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FILLING GAS TANK TO TOP (FILL VALVE TURNS OFF AT PUMP) WILL CAUSE JEEP TO SPUTTER AND STALL WHEN DRIVING OUT OF THE GAS STATION. STALLING WILL MOST OFTEN HAPPEN WHEN ACCELERATING OUT OF THE GAS STATION LOT INTO TRAFFIC. CAR WON'T START AGAIN UNTIL TURNING THE KEY COMPLETELY TO THE OFF POSITION AND THEN STARTING AGAIN. AFTER THAT, CAR WILL OPERATE NORMALLY. IF THE GAS TANK IS NOT FILLED TILL THE GAS AUTOMATICALLY TURNS OFF, THE JEEP WILL RUN JUST FINE. IF LEFT RUNNING A BIT BEFORE ACCELERATING OUT, THEN SEEMS TO BE FINE. NEED TO BURN OFF SOME GAS FROM THE TOP. I'VE HAD THIS ISSUE BEFORE (5 YEARS AGO, 2012) AND SOLUTION WAS TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK. NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THAT WORKED FOR A BIT, BUT IT IS OCCURRING AGAIN. HAVE HAD IT DIAGNOSED WITH DEALERSHIP AS SAME PROBLEM WITH GAS TANK AND A VALVE ON THE TANK.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I CAN ONLY PUMP SMALL AMOUNTS OF GAS INTO MY TANK BEFORE THE PUMP KICKS OFF AND I HAVE TO START AGAIN. ALSO, WHEN THE TANK IS AROUND 1/8 OR LESS FULL, THE JEEP RUNS VERY ROUGH AT ANY SPEED. WHEN OVER 1/4 TANK OF GAS, THE JEEP RUNS WELL.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
AFTER REFILLING THE GAS TANK THE CAR WILL JERK SUDDENLY AND OR STALL WHILE DRIVING. THE PROBLEM WILL STOP AFTER THE CAR DRIVES FOR A MILE OR SO. THIS WILL HAPPEN WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION OR HALTED (AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR BEFORE PULLING INTO TRAFFIC). IN PARTICULAR I HAVE BEEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC AND HAD THE CAR NOT MOVE FORWARD OR SLOWLY ROLL FORWARD. I HAVE ALSO BEEN AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS, AND WHEN I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE. THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHTS BEFORE THE CAR STALLS/JERKS. AFTER THE CAR IS DRIVEN AROUND FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME THE STALLING AND JERKING DOES NOT OCCUR AGAIN. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR A YEAR AND AT FIRST DID NOT NOTICE ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE JERKING. HOWEVER, IT DID STALL SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THIS COMPLAINT.

STRUCTURE:BODY, WHEELS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ENTIRE SUBFRAME AND CROSSMEMBER RUSTED BEYOND REPAIR, NEEDS COMPLETE REPLACEMENT. I NOTICED AN ODD CLINKING SOUND WHEN DRIVING OVER EVEN THE SMALLEST OF BUMPS, OR WHEN TURNING. I TOOK IT IN TO HAVE THE BRAKES CHECKED AND WHEN THE MECHANIC LIFTED IT, I WAS TOLD THE ENTIRE UNDERSIDE WAS COVERED IN RUST! I HEARD OF THE CROSSMEMBER EXTENDED WARRANTY SO I TOOK IT TO MAC HAIK JEEP FOR A DIAGNOSIS, THEY TOLD ME 3 - 5K TO REPLACE ALL PARTS, THAT ONLY THE CROSSMEMBER WOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. THEY ADVISED ME TO BUY A NEW CAR.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, STEERING
EVERYTIME WIFE FILLS THE FUEL TANK, THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF. 80% OF THE TIME IT HAPPENS IN THE INTERSECTION LEAVING THE FUEL STATION. SHE HAS ALMOST BEEN IN NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. SHE LOOSES POWER STEERING AS THE PUMP IS NO LONGER RUNNING BECAUSE THE ENGINE HAS SHUT DOWN. JEEP DEALER SAYS THIS IS A COMMON SAFETY PROBLEM, AND THAT THE FUEL TANK IS THE CULPRIT. THE OVERFLOW VALVE ON THE FUEL TANK IS FAULTY. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS WITH OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE. THIS NEED TO BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED.

AFTER FILLING GAS TANK AT ANY GAS STATION, THE VEHICLE STARTS AND DRIVES APPROXIMATELY 100 TO 200 FEET AND STALLS. THIS IS NORMALLY IN TRAFFIC WHILE STARTING OUT AT AN INTER-SECTION. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS.

EVERY TIME I GET GAS MY JEEP BUCKS AND STALLS FOR A FEW DAYS. IT BUCKED AND STALLED PROBABLY A DOZEN TIMES ON MY WAY HOME FROM GETTING GAS YESTERDAY. I JUST READ A WHOLE PAGE OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE FUEL TANK BEING FAULTY LETTING LIQUID GAS IN THE MANIFOLD (SOMETHING LIKE THAT) BUT IT'S DANGEROUS AND IT'S A DEFECT OBVIOUSLY. STALLING WHILE ENTERING A HIGHWAY RAMP TO A 75 MPH ROAD IS SCARY. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR A FEW YEARS BUT IT'S EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR. I'VE PAID MECHANICS TO REPAIR IT BEFORE BUT THEY MISDIAGNOSE IT AND CHARGE ME TO DEAL WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND TRANSMISSION FLUID ETC. PLEASE DO SOMETHING. REPAIR IS $1200 AND MY JEEP ONLY HAS 100,000 MILES ON IT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FOR THE PAST YEAR, AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK AND DRIVING 1/2 TO 1 MILE THE ENGINE SPUTTERS/BUCKS AND CUTS OFF. THIS HAPPENS WITH EVERY FILL-UP. YES, EVERY FILL-UP. I DON'T OVER FILL, I JUST STOP FILLING WHEN THE PUMP CLICKS OFF. I HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL SO AS NOT TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. IF THIS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY WHERE I LIVE, I COULD BE KILLED. I READ ABOUT THE PROBLEM ON A JEEP FORUM AND FOUND ABOUT THIS WEBSITE SO I THOUGHT I WOULD FILE A COMPLAINT DUE TO THE DANGEROUS CONDITION.
