ENGINE
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.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, STEERING
WHILE DRIVING, THE ENGINE STALLS OUT. THIS HAPPENED ONCE 2 WEEKS AGO AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. HOWEVER, THE LIGHT WAS OFF THE FOLLOWING MORNING. TODAY, IT HAPPENED TWICE, AND THE ENGINE LIGHT IS BACK ON. I WAS DRIVING LESS THAN 55MPH BOTH TIMES ON CITY STREETS AND NOT TURNING. WHEN THE ENGINE STALLS, ALL POWER IS LOST TO THE STEERING AND BREAKING SYSTEM.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE DIES WHEN DRIVING AWAY FROM GAS STATION EVERY TIME AFTER FILLING TANK. IT DOES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD. DODGE HAD A RECALL FOR THIS BUT JEEP HAS NOT. WHEN I WAS AT MECHANICS YESTERDAY THEY HAD A HEEP COMPASS THAT WAS DOING THE SAME THING.

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
IT'S BEEN ALMOST 7 MONTHS SINCE THIS RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED AND IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE THERE'S ANY EFFORT IN CORRECTING THIS ISSUE. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE ANYMORE. I KNOW IT'S A RISK DRIVING A VEHICLE REGARDLESS, BUT INCREASING THE POTENTIAL DANGERS FOR A REASON THAT ISN'T MY OWN FAULT IS RIDICULOUS. I WISH I COULD GET RID OF THIS THING, BUT IT WOULD BE A PRETTY LARGE LOSS IF I DID AT THIS POINT, SO I HAVE TO ACCEPT IT UNTIL EITHER THEY FINALLY FIX THE ISSUE LIKE THEY SHOULD HAVE MONTHS AGO, OR I GET A RAISE/HIT THE LOTTERY

THE CAR STALLS FREQUENTLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. DEALER REPLACED CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR IN JUNE 2016 AND INSISTED THE PROBLEM IS UNRELATED TO THE RECALL THAT ALREADY EXISTS WHICH CAUSES STALLING. LESS THAN 1 YEAR AND APPROXIMATELY 12,000 MILES LATER THE CAR IS STALLING FREQUENTLY AGAIN - EVERY TIME THE CAR IS PUT IN REVERSE AND APPROXIMATELY 3-4 TIMES MORE EVERY 20 MINUTES.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, STEERING
AFTER DOING A FULL REFUEL OF THE VEHICLE THE VEHICLE WILL STALL WHILE IN MOTION, LOOSING ALL ASSISTED STEERING AND BREAKING. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED ENGINE STALLED IN MID TRAFFIC AND I WAS ALMOST HIT BY THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME ON THE CITY. SECOND TIME I REACHED THE HIGHWAY WHEN IT STALLED THIS WAS EVEN MORE SCARY. VEHICLE WILL RESTART AFTER PUTTING IN PARK AND STALL AGAIN A COUPLE OF BLOCKS DOWN. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE TANK IS FILED TILL GAS STATION PUMP AUTO STOPS. IF I FILL 3/4 THEN NO STALLING OCCURS. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO MANY JEEP PATRIOT OWNERS. SOME CLAIM THAT IT IS RELATED TO LIQUID FUEL GOING INTO THE EVAP CANISTER AND THEN BEING SENT TO THE ENGINE WHEN FIECU EXPECTS FUEL VAPORS. THIS ISSUE CAN CAUSE FATAL INJURIES IF ENGINE STALLS ON THE WRONG PLACE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
FOR THE PAST 3 WEEKS THE VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY NOT START. IT WILL EVENTUALLY START AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. IT ACTS LIKE ITS NOT GETTING FUEL ANT THE "ETC" WARNING LIGHT COMES ON. RECENTLY MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AT 60 MPH AND THE CAR SUDDENLY STALLED IN THE MIDDLE LANE WITHOUT ANY WARNING LIGHTS. SHE WAS EVENTUALLY ABLE TO GET IT RESTARTED AND DRIVE HOME. I HAVE HAD IT AT THE MECHANIC SEVERAL TIMES AND CANNOT DUPLICATE THE STARTING ISSUE OR STALE ISSUE. REPLACED RELAYS AFTER READING THAT THERE ARE KNOWN ISSUES WITH RELAY BOX DUE TO CORROSION AND PLACEMENT OF RELAYS IN WHEEL WELL BUT THIS DIDN'T HELP. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A SERIOUS COMPUTER / ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL. I HAVE READ DOZENS OF POSTS ABOUT VERY SIMILAR ISSUE AND UNFORTUNATELY FOUND THAT THERE IS NO FIX FROM DEALERS AND NO INFORMATION ABOUT POSSIBLE CAUSES. I'M VERY CONCERNED WITH THE STALING ISSUE SINCE IT IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE. PLEASE HELP.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
UPON ENTERING A MAJOR HIGH WAY SYSTEM, THE ENGINE ON MY 2014 JEEP PATRIOT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, REGARDLESS OF THE PRESSURE APPLIED TO THE GAS PEDAL. IT FELT LIKE THERE WAS SOMETHING RESISTING THE ACCELERATION. THERE I AM IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF A 6 LANE BRIDGE WITH FREE WAY TRAFFIC GOING 60MPH AND I AM DECELERATING (EVEN WITH ADEQUATE PRESSURE APPLIED TO THE GAS) WHEN COMES ELECTRICAL THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON, ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT. THE GUY DRIVING THE TOW TRUCK SAID I WAS HIS 4TH JEEP TODAY WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND AMONG MANY THIS MONTH.
