POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TEMPERATURE WARNING INDICATOR KEPT RANDOMLY ILLUMINATING AND THE ENGINE OVERHEATED. THE FAILURE CAUSED THE CONTACT TO HAVE TO WAIT A BRIEF MOMENT AND PLACE THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL IN ORDER FOR IT TO COOL DOWN TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER (BILL DODGE, 118 PLEASANT ST, BRUNSWICK, ME 04011, (207) 721-8300) FROM WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED PROVIDED NO OWNER'S MANUAL AND REPLACED THE CVT TRANSMISSION; HOWEVER, THE WARNING INDICATOR KEPT FLASHING. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE PART NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. IN ADDITION, THE DEALER REFUSED TO PROVIDE AN OWNER'S MANUAL; THEREFORE, THE CONTACT HAD TO RESEARCH A SOLUTION AND OBTAIN INFORMATION ON HIS OWN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, OPENED A CASE, AND THEN CLOSED THE CASE WITH NO SOLUTION OTHER THAN REPLACING THE SAME PART. THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE THE TEMPERATURE WARNING INDICATOR COULD ILLUMINATE AT ANY TIME. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT PROPERLY AND WAS SLOW TO PICK UP SPEED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,000.

I HEARD A KNOCKING NOISE WHEN I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC. THEY SHOWED ME THAT THE REAR SUB FRAME WAS ROTTED. THERE IS A HUGE HOLE FROM THE RUST. MY CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGE KEPT AND WELL MAINTAINED SO THIS DID NOT SEEM LOGICAL FROM EVERYDAY WEAR AND TEAR.

POWER TRAIN
THE CVT TRANSMISSION FOR THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT DESIGNED TO DRIVE SUCH A HEAVY CAR. AS A RESULT THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN SLIPPING AT 35,000 MILES. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE IN THAT PULLING INTO OR CROSSING TRAFFIC IS DANGEROUS WHEN POWER CAN'T BE TRANSFERRED PREDICTABLY TO THE WHEELS. I'M NOT SURE OF THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE, HOWEVER, DOING CURSORY SEARCH WILL FIND MANY INSTANCES OF THESE TRANSMISSIONS SLIPPING, OVERHEATING AND FAILING WELL WITHIN THE SERVICE LIFE OF THE OIL (100,000 MILES). THERE ARE PROBABLY MANY OTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCTS THAT HAVE THIS SMALL CAR TRANSMISSION PLACED IN AN SUV AND NOT SUITABLE FOR WEIGHT AND VEHICLE LOAD. ALTHOUGH NO ACCIDENT HAS HAPPEN AS A RESULT THERE HAVE BEEN MANY CLOSE CALLS, AND I'M SURE THAT THERE ARE OTHERS THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME. THANKS FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION OF THIS ISSUE

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY JEEP PATRIOT STARTING HAVING ACCELERATION ISSUES ABOUT A MONTH AGO. WHILE DRIVING, IT DOES NOT MATTER IF I AM TURNING OR DRIVING STRAIGHT, THE VEHICLE FEELS LIKE IT IS BEING CUT OFF FROM THE FUEL AND GETS JERKY. NOW THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL WARNING LIGHT WILL COME ON AND THEN GO OUT. THIS HAPPENS ON CITY STREETS DOING 25MPH OR ON THE HIGHWAY DOING 60MPH. I DRIVE MY TWO DAUGHTERS AROUND AND CANNOT TRUST THIS VEHICLE TO BE SAFE. WE HAVE TRIED LOOKING INTO FIXING IT AND NO ONE CAN TELL US WHAT IS WRONG. EVERY FORUM WE HAVE GONE TO TELLS US THAT THEY HAVE FILED COMPLAINTS AS WELL AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE. I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS TO COMPLETELY GO OUT WITH RISK OF AN ACCIDENT. SOME HAVE STATED THAT THEY HAVE HAD TO TOW THEIR VEHICLE HOME BECAUSE IT WILL COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. THERE IS NO ACTUAL ANSWER TO THE PROBLEM AND THE PARTS ARE A MAYBE FOR A FIX. WHICH DO WE FIX FIRST? THE CHEAPEST OR BOTH? ALSO, SOME OF THE PARTS ARE ONLY FACTORY DIRECT ORDERING. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND GET A RECALL STARTED!! I AM GETTING AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AND I CAN'T KEEP PUTTING MONEY INTO SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T FIX IT!! THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER A MONTH!

I RECEIVED THIS RECALL NOTICE IN LATE OCT/NOV 2016. THE DAY I RECEIVED IT, I CALLED THE NUMBER LISTED AND WAS PUT ON A WAITING LIST TO LET ME KNOW WHEN THE PART WAS AVAILABLE. I RECEIVED ANOTHER RECALL NOTICE THE WEEK OF 8/21/17 FOR THE EXACT SAME REASON. I CALLED MY JEEP DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE RECALL NOTICE A SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT. THIS MORNING I GO TO DROP OFF MY JEEP AND THEY TELL ME THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PART AND THAT THEY WOULD PUT ME ON A LIST. THIS RECALL IS JUST SHY OF A YEAR OLD NOW. I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED BY NOW. NO ONE HAS EVER CALLED ME ABOUT THIS PART BECOMING AVAILABLE.

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.

ENGINE
I HAVE HAD MY 2012 JEEP PATRIOT FOR OVER A YEAR AND JUST RECENTLY, IN THE LAST 5 MONTHS, THE ENGINE WILL RANDOMLY STALL WHILE I AM DRIVING OR IDLING AT A LIGHT/STOP SIGN. THERE IS NO WARNING OR INDICATION AS TO WHY THIS HAPPENS. IT HAS HAPPENED AT VARIOUS SPEEDS RANGING FROM 25 MPH TO 60 MPH. IT HAS HAPPENED ON RESIDENTIAL ROADS AND ON THE FREEWAY. LUCKILY, EACH TIME IT HAS HAPPENED I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET OVER TO THE SHOULDER PRETTY QUICKLY. WHEN IT FIRST STARTED HAPPENING, I WOULD TURN IT OFF AND BE ABLE TO START IT RIGHT AWAY. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY LATELY. SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS ANYWHERE BETWEEN 2 TO 6 TIMES A DAY. IT'S VERY RANDOM. SOMETIMES DAYS GO BY BEFORE IT HAPPENS AND THEN SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS EVERY SINGLE DAY. IT NEVER HAPPENS WHEN I AM TURNING. ONLY WHEN I AM DRIVING. NEVER IN REVERSE. WHEN IT STALLS, THE ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP. THE LIGHTS, RADIO, ETC STAY ON. ONCE IT STALLS AND I TURN THE JEEP COMPLETELY OFF, IT IS TAKING LONGER AND LONGER FOR IT TO START BACK UP AGAIN. ONCE IT STALLS, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON. SOMETIMES THE LIGHT IS OFF IN THE MORNING AFTER I PARK MY JEEP OVERNIGHT AND SOMETIMES THE LIGHT IS STILL ON IN THE MORNING WHEN I GET UP TO DRIVE MY JEEP.

MULTIPLE TIMES DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE CVT TRANSMISSION FAILS AND LOCKS UP. GOING 70MPH I SUDDENLY LOSE ACCELERATION COMPLETELY AND WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY A SEMI. I CAN GO ABOUT 45MPH ON THE INTERSTATE FOR ABOUT A MINUTE TO FIND A SPOT TO PULL OVER. LUCKILY NOBODY WAS HURT AND THERE WAS A PLACE AT THAT TIME TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF THE SEMI BARRELING DOWN THE MOUNTAIN BEHIND ME
