FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER REFUELING, THE VEHICLE ACTS LIKE IT WANTS TO STALL AND HAS STALLED ON SOME OCCASIONS. THIS IS CONCERNING TO ME BECAUSE, I HAVE TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND RESTART IT. I AM AFRAID WHEN THIS HAPPENS THAT SOMEONE BEHIND ME IN TRAFFIC MAY SLAM INTO MY JEEP.. I PUT A RECENT DATE BELOW, BUT IT HAS BEEN ONGOING OFF AND ON SINCE I BOUGHT IT LAST YEAR.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
JEEP PATRIOT STALLS WITHIN ABOUT A MILE OF FILLING THE GAS TANK, STEERING WHEEL LOCKS AND IS VERY DANGEROUS. I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT LUCKILY. PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE RECALLED ASAP, GAS TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. HAPPENS TO A LOF OF PATRIOT OWNERS IN CARS FROM 2007-2009. PLEASE RECALL. PLEASE!!!!!!!

SERVICE BRAKES
MY BRAKES MAKE A LOUD SOUND WHEN I'M MAKING A STOP. I HAVE A FULL WARRANTY ON MY BRAKES AND TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER TWICE. WHAT I WAS ADVISED IS THAT SOUND IS NORMAL AND THAT ALL JEEP PATRIOTS MAKES THAT SOUND. WELL I HAVE NOT HEARD THAT SOUND FROM ANOTHER JEEP BUT NOT SURE IF THERE IS A DEFECT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE SUNROOF ON THE 2010 JEEP PATRIOT DOES NOT SEAL AGAINST THE EXTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE ALLOWING MORE WATER INTO THE CABIN THEN THE TWO DRAINS CAN HANDLE. THE DRAINS CLOG EASILY DUE TO THE EXCESS WATER MAKING THE ISSUE EVEN WORSE. WATER ENTERS THE CAR AS THE SUNROOF WATER PAN FILLS UP AND LEAKS OUT OF THE CABIN DOME LIGHT AND DOWN THE SIDES OF THE CAR. WATER THEN ENTERS ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS BEHIND THE DASH RESULTING IN RADIO FAILURE, SHORTING MULTIPLE COMPONENTS THAT PREVENT THE CAR FROM TURNING OFF WITHOUT REMOVING THE IOD FUSE, AND CAUSING THE ENGINE WATER TEMPERATURE TO PEG. DEALERSHIPS HAVE TRIED MULTIPLE SOLUTIONS EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THE ISSUE REMAINS AND THEY HAVE BEGUN TO CLAIM IT IT A DRAIN MAINTENANCE ISSUE AND NOT A MANUFACTURING DEFECT.

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IN SEPTEMBER 2016 BUT WAS TOLD THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE BECAUSE "REPAIR PARTS NOT AVAILABLE." NOW, 8 MONTHS LATER, PARTS ARE STILL "UNAVAILABLE" AND I AM DRIVING A VEHICLE WHOSE AIRBAG AND/OR SEAT BELTS MAY NOT WORK IN AN ACCIDENT, CAUSING MYSELF AND MY PASSENGERS SERIOUS INJURY. HOW CAN THIS POSSIBLY BE PERMITTED?

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
YESTERDAY AFTER EXITING THE FREEWAY, THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING AND DRIVING WAS VERY JERKY. TODAY ON THE FREEWAY, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, FOLLOWED BY THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT WAS FLASHING AGAIN. LUCKILY, SAFE MODE DIDN'T KICK ON UNTIL AFTER EXITING THE HIGHWAY AS I WAS ONLY ABLE TO ACCELLERATE TO 20 MPH THE REST OF THE WAY HOME. THE CAR DOES NOT SEEM TO BE SHIFTING HARD WHEN TRYING TO GET UP TO SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY . ALSO, WHEN STARTING OUT FROM A STOP, IT'S CHUGGING AND JERKING. IT IS THROWING ERROR CODES $07E8 AND $07E9.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
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.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
UNABLE TO FILL THE GAS TANK WITHOUT THE NOZZLE CLICKING OFF. IF SMALL AMOUNTS OF FUEL ARE POURED INTO THE GAS TANK IT WILL EVENTUALLY FILL. HAD THE CAR GONE THROUGH AND THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE WHOLE TANK BECAUSE THE VALVE IS A INTEGRAL PART OF THE TANK. CAR HAS 35000 MILES.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE LAST FALL IN A PRIVATE SALE. THE VEHICLE APPEARED TO BE IN GOOD CONDITION AND WELL TAKEN CARE OF. ABOUT TWO WEEKS AFTER ACQUIRING THIS VEHICLE, I WAS DRIVING ALONG THE INTERSTATE ON A 50 MINUTE TRIP AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN DESPITE BEING ON CRUISE CONTROL. THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON AND I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE I WAITED FOR 10 MINUTES AND BEGAIN DRIVING AGAIN. SINCE THIS INCIDENT IN THE FALL OF 2016, THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 10-15 TIMES-INCLUDING TODAY, A RAINY 70 DEGREE DAY DRIVING THE NEARLY FLAT ROUTE FROM LINCOLN TO OMAHA NEBRASKA. I UNDERSTAND JEEP HAS COME FORWARD TO SAY THIS IS NOT A MOUNTAIN TRAVELING VEHICLE (VERY STRANGE JEEP BECAUSE, WELL IT'S A TRAIL RATED JEEP AFTER ALL). NOT ONLY IS THIS A NUISANCE THAT I CANNOT DRIVE MY WORK ROUTE FOR 45 MINUTES WITHOUT HAVING TO PULL OFF OF THE ROAD AT LEAST ONCE BUT EVERYTIME I DO, IT PUTS ME IN A LIFE JEOPARDIZING SITUATION ON THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS 75MPH. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED BY JEEP. I KNOW OTHERS ARE HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES BECAUSE GOOGLE WAS ABLE TO GUESS THE PROBLEM AFTER TYPING ONLY THE WORDS "2011 JEEP PATRIOT." PLEASE ADDRESS THE PROBLEM, JEEP, AND MAKE THIS RIGHT FOR EVERYONE WHO CONTINUES TO INVEST AND SUPPORT YOUR (TYPICALLY) WONDERFUL PRODUCTS.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
MY JEEP OVERHEATS REGULARLY, NO TOWING JUST REGULAR COLORADO HWY DRIVING, MAKES HIGH PITCHED WHINING SOUNDS, AND LOSES POWER. I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND WAIT FOR THE LIGHT TO GO OFF, RESUME DRIVING, AND PULL OVER AGAIN WHEN THE LIGHT COMES ON. OVER AND OVER THIS HAPPENS. DEALERSHIP SAYS NO ERROR CODE ON THE ENGINE AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO.

WHILE MY FOOT WAS ON THE GAS TO ACCELERATE IT BEGAN TO DECCELERATE THEN THE ENGINED STALLED I PUT MY HAZARDS PULLED TO THE SIDE. AFTER RESTARTING IT I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME WITH MY CAR IN AUTO STICK. WHEN LEAVING A RESTURANT THAT NIGHT I HADN'T EVEN MADE IT OUT OF THE PARKING LOT WHEN THE CAR BEGAN TO STALL AND THE BREAKS LOCKED UP. I HAD TO RESTART MY VEHICLE AND DRIVE HOME IN AUTO STICK. I DIDN'T DRIVE MY VEHICLE AGAIN UNTIL I TOOK IT TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP 4/10/17 WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND ANY ISSUES. 4/12/17 IT STALLED WHEN I WAS ENTERING THE HIGHWAY AFTER BEING ON THE ROAD FOR ABOUT 5-10 MINUTES IT BEGAN TO FUNCTION AFTER I RESTARTED IT. 4/10/17 I HAD THE AIR FILTER CHANGED AND THE FUEL SYSTEM CLEANED. AFTER THAT I CONTINUED TO DRIVE IT UNTIL 4/17/17 WHEN AFTER BEING ON THE ROAD FOR 5 MINUTES I BEGAN TO MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY ONLY TO HAVE MY CAR DO THE SAME DECELERATION WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE THEN STALLING ALTOGETHER. WHEN TRYING TO START MY CAR IT WOULD ONLY SPUTTER I WAITED 15 MINUTES THEN WAS ABLE TO START IT BUT ONLY THE CARS SYSTEMS WOULD COME ON NOT THE ENGINE. I TURNED OFF MY VEHICLE WAITED ANOTHER 15 MINS AND IT STARTED I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO MY NEAREST CARMAX LOCATION THEY HAVE HAD IT FOR ONE DAY AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND ANY ISSUES EITHER.
