FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
AT ANY GAS PUMP I GO TO I CAN ONLY PUT IN ABOUT A GALLON OR SO BEFORE THE PUMP SHUTS OFF OR OVERFLOWS. IT DOES THIS REPEATEDLY UNTIL I HAVE FILLED MY TANK. I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE WITH PATRIOTS IN FORUMS AND NO ONE CAN SEEM TO PINPOINT AN ISSUE OTHER THAN REPLACING THE GAS TANK. I BELIEVE THE ISSUE IS WITH A FAULTY VALVE IN THE GAS TANK. I MAINTAIN MY VEHICLE AND DO NOT BELIEVE I SHOULD BE HAVING THIS ISSUE. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP OR FEEDBACK. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON RANDOM OCCASION WHILE DRIVING, MY 2010 JEEP PATRIOT HESITATES AND LURCHES WHEN I ACCELERATE. IT HAS ALSO STALLED WHILE I WAIT AT A RED LIGHT. IT HAS ALSO STALLED WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP WHILE I AND WHILE MY DAUGHTER HAS DRIVEN THE CAR. I HAVE HAD THREE DIFFERENT MECHANICS DIAGNOSE AND THEY CAN FIND NOTHING ON THE DIAGNOSTICS REPORT. THIS IS UNSAFE AND CAN CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I SEE THERE HAVE BEEN MANY SUCH COMPLAINTS COVERING MANY JEEP MODELS, YEARS AND MAKES AND I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL OR INVESTIGATION INTO THIS PROBLEM. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE...ARE YOU WAITING FOR MORE PEOPLE TO BE KILLED IN THEIR CARS????? *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY
THE BACK PASSENGER FLOOR BOARD IS CONSISTENTLY SOAKING WET, WITH A STANDING PUDDLE OF WATER. WELL DRY IT UP AS MUCH AS WE CAN AND THE NEXT MORNING IF ITS RAINED THE BACK PASSENGER FLOOR BOARD WILL BE COMPLETELY WET AGAIN. THE INSIDE OF THE WINDOWS GET EXTREMELY WET AND DEWY TO WERE THERE IS WATER DRIPPING FROM THEM INCLUDING THE INSIDE OF THE SUNROOF WINDOW. WE AGAIN SOAK IT ALL UP, AS MUCH AS WE CAN. BUT THE UPHOLSTERY ON THE SEATS, SUNROOF COVER AND THE HEADLINER STAY VERY DEWY AND MOIST TO WERE YOUR BUTT/PANTS AND TAIL END OF YOUR SHIRT ARE BOTH DAMP FROM SITTING IN IT. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THE OBVIOUS THAT THE CARPET AND THE UPHOLSTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THE JEEP NEED TO BE COMPLETELY DRIED OUT THOROUGHLY, BUT THAT THEY COULDN'T FIND THE ISSUE AS TO WHAT COULD BE CAUSING THE LEAK. NEEDLESS TO SAY THAT WASN'T MUCH HELP. WERE VERY CONCERNED AND DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO, WORRIED ALL THE WATER IS SHORTING OUT THE ELECTRICAL. THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT HEATER HASN'T BEEN WORKING SINCE THE LEAK ISSUE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WATER LEAKS FROM THE TOP OF THE WINDSHIELD AND, IF IT IS RAINING HARD ENOUGH, INTO AND OUT OF THE OVERHEAD LIGHTS, WHICH IS WORRISOME BECAUSE OF THE ELECTRICAL FACTOR. WE NOTICED THE LEAKAGE AFTER GOING THROUGH A CAR WASH 2 DAYS AFTER PURCHASING OUR USED JEEP. WE BROUGHT IT IN FOR REPAIRS AND IT SEEM LIKE IT WAS FIXED FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS UNTIL IT RAINED HEAVILY AND WE NOTICED WATER STREAMING IN, YET AGAIN. WE HAVE ALSO SINCE NOTICED THE FLOOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE GETS SOAKED AFTER IT RAINS AS WELL AND WE DON'T KNOW WHERE THAT IS COMING FROM. IT SEEMS OVERALL THAT OUR JEEPS SEALANTS ARE VERY FAULTY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SEATS, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WATER LEAKS FROM THE LIGHT ABOVE THE DASH. IT IS VERY DANGEROUSLY DISTRACTING WHILE DRIVING, BUT ALSO HAS FRIED MY STEREO/COMPUTER ONCE ALREADY. IT HAS NOW SOAKED ALL OF THE FRONT INTERIOR AND HAS STARTED TO AFFECT MY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. HAVE TAKEN IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES IN THE LAST TWO YEARS AND THEY CANNOT FIND OR FIX THE PROBLEM. IT HAPPENS WHEN IT RAINS, BUT NOT ALWAYS, IT BUILDS UP AND COLLECTS SOMEWHERE AND COMES OUT AT VARIOUS TIMES..WHILE STATIONARY OR DRIVING...THE WORST IS WHILE DRIVING AND TURNING CORNERS, IT WIL POUR OUT WATER ONTO THE DRIVER OR THE PASSENGER SIDE DEPENDING ON THE TURN.
