STRUCTURE:BODY, STEERING, SUSPENSION
PURCHASED VEHICLE LESS THAN 6 MONTHES AGO AND COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER THAT IT SOUNDED AND FELT LIKE WHEELS WERE ABOUT TO FALL OFF. 8 DAYS LATER I TOOK IT TO GET AN OIL CHANGE AND THE SHOP REFUSED. HE EXPLAINED THAT WHEN THEY LIFTED THE JEEP AND INSPECTED TIRES THE WIRE TREADS WERE EXPOSED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TIRE, AT ANY MOMENT THE VEHICLE COULD POSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO PASSENGERS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CHANGED TIRE BUT DID NOT INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE BRAKES CONTINUALLY MADE A SCREECHING SOUND , FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON. THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD OFTEN VEER LEFT WHEN TURNED RIGHT AND THE JEEP KEPT MAKING RUBBING AND POPPING SOUNDS LAST WEEK WHILE TRAVELLING LESS THAN 20 MILES AN HOUR THE CAR MADE A POPPING SOUND , I LOST CONTROL OF STEERING WHEEL AND IT WAS VEERING TO RIGHT , RUNNING UP ON THE CURB AND THE VEHICLE WAS STILL IN MOTION . . WHEN THE JEEP FINALLY STOPPED I WAS UNABLE TO MOVE STEERING WHEEL NOR PUSH IT OUT OF THE STREET. IT HAD TO BE TOWED AWAY. MECHANIC INSPECTED AND ADVISED OF NUMEROUS ISSUES: AXLE BENT, CONTROL ARM , DRIVE SHAFT, SUSPENSION TO MENTION A FEW. THE JEEP HAD 107000 MILES WHEN THIS OCCURED AND IS UNDER WARRANTY. MECHANIC IS REQUESTING WARRANTY APPROVAL TO FIX THE FAILED COMPONENTS AND DAMAGES INCURRED FROM THE FAILURE

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
CAR WILL STALL AFTER FILLING UP GAS TANK, AND THERE IS A LOSS TO ALL THE DRIVING COMPONENTS. NO BRAKES, NO STEERING, NO POWER. VERY DANGEROUS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MULTIPLE MECHANICS AND THEY SAY IT IS SOMETHING IN THE GAS TANK, AND THE ONLY WAY TO REPLACE IT IS TO REPLACE IT IS TO BUY A NEW GAS TANK. THERE ARE MULTIPLE FORUMS WITH THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. PLEASE ISSUE RECALL THIS IS NOT SAFE.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, SEAT BELTS
FRONT SEATBELTS WILL JUST UNBUCKLE AFTER YOU'VE BUCKLED. THE JEEP WONT ACCELERATE, IT WONT SHIFT UNTIL 3 1/2 GRAND, BETWEEN 0-40 MPH IT CHUGS & ALMOST DIES, ONCE ABOVE 40 ITS USUALLY FINE. THE DEALER SAYS THINGS ARE FINE. WHAT IS WRONG AND WHY WONT THESE ISSUES COME UP ON DIAGNOSTICS? THE TIRE LOW SENSOR IS ALWAYS ON - EVEN AFTER NEW TIRES & THEY RESET IT. NO WONDER THE WARRANTY LENGTH WAS LOWERED. BRAKES BECAME SQEAKY AROUND 6 MONTHS. ONE OWNER - ME UNFORTUNATELY.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AS SEVERAL OTHER 2012 JEEP PATRIOT 4X4 OWNERS HAVE NOTED, IT TAKES ME FOREVER TO FILL MY TANK - PUMP KEEPS CLICKING OFF. THIS STARTED AT ABOUT 70,00 MILES - I NOW HAVE 80,00 MILES ON IT. OF COURSE MY VEHICLE, WHICH I PURCHASED NEW, WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL TO REPLACE THE FAULTY FUEL TANK TRANSFER TUBE. EVEN IF I PAY OUT OF POCKET TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED I KNOW THIS IS NOT THE REAL PROBLEM AS OTHERS HAVE NOTED - IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE GAS TANK VENT SYSTEM WHICH WOULD NECESSITATE THE REPLACEMENT OF THE WHOLE GAS TANK. C'MON CHRYSLER, PLEASE ADMIT THIS IS A PROBLEM AND DO THE RIGHT THING. IF NOT, I WILL NOT BE PURCHASING ANY FUTURE CHRYSLER VEHICLES.

SUSPENSION
WE HAD THE FRONT CONTROLS ARMS AND REAR TOE LINKS REPLACED IN NOVEMBER 2018. UPON GOING TO PURCHASE NEW TIRES, THE LF LOWER CONTROL ARM W/BALL JOINT WERE FOUND TO BE DEFECTIVE AND UNSAFE...WE HAD THEM REPLACED IMMEDIATELY FOR SAFETY REASONS AS THE CAR IS DRIVEN HUNDREDS OF MILES A WEEK AND USED 6 DAYS A WEEK AND COULDN'T WAIT UNTIL AN APPOINTMENT COULD BE MADE AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP THAT REPLACED IT ORIGINALLY. WE WERE TOLD IF THE DEALERSHIP HAD DONE THE REPAIRS/REPLACEMENT THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO CHARGE BECAUSE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRENTY....WE ARE SEEKING A REFUND FOR THE PARTS UNDER THE WARRENTY ONLY...NOT THE ENTIRE BILL WHICH INCLUDED THE COST OF 2 NEW TIRES THAT WERE A ROUTINE PURCHASE....THE INVOICE IS ATTACHED WITH THE CURRENT WORK, THE ORIGINAL WARRENTY WORK AND THE AMOUNT OF $316.93 IS WHAT WE'RE SEEKING TO BE REIMBURSED FOR., NOT THE TOTAL OF $811.34---THE INVOICE IS BROKEN OUT FOR YOUR REVIEW.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
CAR HAS HARD TIME STARTING AFTER SHORT TIME OF BEING SHUT OFF. COMPANY KNOWS OF THIS PROBLEM, IT HAS INSTRUCTIONS IN OWNERS M ANUAL ON HOW TO RESTART CAR. SOMETIMES IT CAN TAKE A LONG TIME. THIS CAN PUT A LOT OF UNNECESSARY STRESS ON THE BATTERY. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE SHOULD HAVE HAD A RECALL & BE FIXED BY COMPANY. PLEASE NOTE: I'M NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER.
