SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, STEERING
THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. THE BATTERY IS FINE HOWEVER I LOSE ALL POWER. IT IS AS IF THERE IS NO FUEL EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A FUL TANK. THE TRACTION LIGHT COMES ON ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I ROLL TO A STOP AND LET THE JEEP SIT THEN TURN THE KEY AND IT STARTS RIGHT UP. THERE IS NO WARNING OR INDICATION WHEN IT WILL OVCUR. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL DISAPPEAR AFTER DRIVING FOR A TIME AND SO I AM TOLD THERE IS NO CODE TO BE PULLED. IM STUCK DRIVING A MACHINE THAT MAY OR MAY NOT TRY TO END ME. TONS OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE HOWEVER MY VIN DOES NOT SEEM TO BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN I WAS AT THE GAS STATION, FUEL PUMP KEPT SHUTTING OFF. I TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE PROBLEM IS THE ROLLOVER VENT VALVE ON TOP OF THE FUEL TANK DOES NOT OPEN TO RELEASE AIR. THEY TOLD ME I HAD TO REPLACE THE WHOLE TANK AND THEIR ESTIMATION IS MORE THAN $1800 BEFORE THE TAX. I SEE THE SAME PROBLEM PEOPLE FILED HERE. THE REPAIR SHOULD BE ON THE MANUFACTURER SIDE INSTEAD OF CUSTOMERS.

AIR BAGS
I WENT TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE AN ORC MODULE S61 THAT WAS RECALLED. THEY REPLACED THE PART BUT RIGHT AS I WAS LEAVING THE DELEARSHIP, MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO LET THEM KNOW BECAUSE I HAD TO PICK UP MY KIDS FROM THE BUS STOP, SHE TOLD ME TO BRING IT UP DURING MY OIL CHANGE THE NEXT WEEK. I DID AND THEY TOLD ME IT WASN'T THEIR PROBLEM, THE RECALL HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE AIRBAGS, AND QUOTED ME AT $600 FOR THEM TO GO THROUGH MY CAR AND CHECK THE WIRES. THE SERVICE MANAGER DID TELL ME THE OBD 2 READING WAS B1C29-LEFT SIDE SEAT THORAX SQUIB 1 OPEN AND B1C2D- RIGHT SIDE SEAT THORAX SQUIB 1 OPEN; AND ADVISED ME TO UNPLUG AND PLUG ALL THE CONNECTORS UNDER THE SEAT. I DID THIS AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I CALLED THEM BACK AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING TO FIX IT AND IT WAS MY FAULT NOT THEIRS AND I RECIEVED THE SAME $600 QUOTE TO FIX IT. I KNOW IT HAPPENED WHILE THEY WERE WORKING ON IT AND I HAVE FOUND A COUPLE OF THREADS WITH PEOPLE THAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND THEY ALL SAID TO MAKE A COMPLAINT ON HERE.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A INTERSTATE WITH MY INFANT SON IN THE BACK OF THE CAR WHEN IT SHUT OFF ON ME INCLUDING DASH LIGHTS AND RADIO. I WAS FORTUNATE TO GET IT OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SAFELY. I TOOK IT TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP AND THEY ADVISED THAT MY TIPM WENT BAD. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. I DID READ NEWER JEEPS WERE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
WHEN THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN AND WAITED AT INTERSECTION OR MIDDLE LANE, THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF BY ITSELF. WHEN IT IS RESTARTED, THE POWER IS BACK EITHER IMMEDIATELY OR AFTER A FEW MINUTES. I READ ONLINE AND MANY MANY CUSTOMERS REPORTED THIS PROBLEM, RANGING FROM VERY NEW JEEP PATRIOT (LESS THAN 10,000 MILES) TO DRIVING AT HIGH SPEED. THE LINKS ARE SHOWN BELOW: HTTP://WWW.CARPROBLEMZOO.COM/JEEP/PATRIOT/AUTOMATIC-TRANSMISSION-CONTROL-MODULE-PROBLEMS.PHP HTTPS://WWW.JEEPPATRIOT.COM/FORUM/5-JEEP-PATRIOT-GENERAL-DISCUSSION/92388-HELP-ENGINE-SHUT-DOWN.HTML WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THEY CAN NOT FIGURE OUT THE CAUSES. THE LAST TIME, THEY SAID IT IS THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE ISSUE. SINCE SO MANY CUSTOMERS REPORTED THIS ISSUE, THIS VEHICLE NEEDS A RECALL. THE UNEXPECTED SHUTOFF IS VERY DANGEROUS.

POWER TRAIN
TRANSMISSION OVERHEATED GOING 60 MILES PER HOUR ON THE INTERSTATE. I PULLED OVER AND LET THE LIGHT GO OFF PER THE USER MANUAL AND DIDN'T DRIVE IT ANYMORE. PUT IT IN THE SHOP ON MONDAY AND IT NEEDS A BRAND NEW TRANSMISSION WITH ONLY 119K MILES ON IT!

POWER TRAIN
THE TRANSMISSION TEMPERATURE GAUGE HAS COME ON WHEN TRAVELING AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS, CAUSING AN IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER AND REQUIRING ME TO PULL OVER AND LET THE ENGINE COOL DOWN. 2 JEEP DEALERSHIPS HAVE ASSESSED THE VEHICLE IN THE DAYS AFTER THE INCIDENTS, NEITHER OF WHICH COULD OFFER ANY REMEDY. BOTH DEALERSHIPS' SERVICE MANAGERS MENTIONED THAT THESE VEHICLES' TRANSMISSIONS ARE OFTEN PROBLEMATIC AND DO NOT HANDLE HIGH TEMPERATURES WELL, BUT WITH NO ACTIVE RECALL, NEITHER COULD OFFER ANY RECOURSE OR EVEN A REMEDY. THIS IS CLEARLY A CASE OF A POORLY ENGINEERED PRODUCT (THE JATCO CVT) THAT THE MANUFACTURER IS AVOIDING DEALING WITH, AT THE EXPENSE AND SAFETY OF ITS CONSUMERS. IN FACT, JEEP NO LONGER USES THIS TRANSMISSION - THEY REPLACED IT IN 2014 - CLEARLY THEY KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM. THIS ISSUE IS A BLATANT SAFETY HAZARD AND NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED MORE THOROUGHLY AND THE MANUFACTURER HELD TO ACCOUNT FOR THE UNSAFE CONDITIONS THEY KNOW THEIR CONSUMERS ARE IN. UNACCEPTABLE!!!

ENGINE
THE ENGINE IS RANDOMLY STALLING. IT STALLED THE OTHER DAY AT THE HIGHWAY AND KEEPS RANDOMLY DOING IT WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I HAVE TO PULL OVER EVERY TIME AND WAIT A COUPLE OF MINUTES TO TURN IT ON. IT SEEMS BY READING THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED FOR THE SAME MODEL MULTIPLE TIMES.
