ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY 2014 JEEP PATRIOT WILL NOT ACCELERATE WITHOUT HAVING HESITATION. THE VEHICLE HAS 64,000 MILES ON IT. WHEN YOU PRESS ON THE GAS WHETHER YOU ARE MOVING OR STOPPED, IT ALMOST STALLS AND THEN HAS TO RESET IT SELF TO GO ABOVE 30MPH. THE ETC LIGHT COMES ON AND THEN DISAPPEARS. THIS HAS HAPPENED ALL WEEK. SEEING HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE ON THIS SITE AND OTHERS, THERE SHOULD DEFINITELY BE A RECALL. THIS IS A DANGEROUS AND SCARY SITUATION FOR A VEHICLE THAT IS NOT EVEN 5 YEARS OLD TO SLOW AND/OR STOP WHILE YOU ARE TRYING TO ACCELERATE.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WARNING LIGHT KEPT COMING ON FOR "LOW TIRE" WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET, HIGHWAY AND INTERSTATE. HAD THIS CHECKED REPEATEDLY AT DEALER, THE LOW TIRE LIGHT WOULD GO OFF THEN COME ON AGAIN LATER. THE DAY AFTER TAKINGTHE PATRIOT IN FOR THE LOW "TIRE LIGHT" THE ESC/ABS LIGHTS ALSO STARTED COMING ON. I HAVE JUST OVER 50,000 MILES SO THE WARRANTY IS OVER. I WAS TOLD THAT IN ADDITION TO THE $115 FOR DOING A DIAGNOSTIC TO SEE WHY THE LIGHTS WERE ON IT WOULD BE $350 EXTRA PLUS LABOR TO REPLACE THE SENSOR. I WAS UNABLE TO PAY FOR THIS AT THIS TIME. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD BE OKAY TO DRIVE IT BUT THE LIGHTS WOULD STAY ON UNTIL REPLACED. ONLINE I SEE THAT THERE ARE OVER 18 OTHER COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME REASON. THE SENSOR GOT SOME TYPE OF MOISTURE AND WAS SHORTING OUT. MINE CONTINUES TO BE ON FOR 30 MINUTES THEN GO OUT, OR NOT COME ON AT ALL, OR NOT ON THEN COMES ON. EITHER THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH CONNECTION OR THIS IS JUST A BAD PRODUCT. WITH ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS FOR THIS SAME SCENARIO - I AM AFRAID THAT THERE IS A WATER LEAK OR THE SENSOR DOES NOT HAVE PROTECTION FROM WATER. EITHER WAY, I FEEL THAT THIS IS A HAZARD TO ANYONE DRIVING A JEEP PATRIOT. OTHERS HAVE REPORTED SMOKE, FIRES, ETC. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE DEALER AND CORRECTED FREE OF CHARGE. I LOVED MY PATRIOT UNTIL THIS HAPPENED. I WILL BE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE THIS WEEKEND, WHICH IS WHY I TRIED TO HAVE THE LIGHTS/SENSORS CHECKED OUT MONDAY. I LEAVE TOMORROW AND HOPE AND PRAY I DO NOT HAVE A FIRE/ACCIDENT TO REPORT ON MONDAY. THIS IS A VALID SAFETY CONCERN AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. ONLINE OTHER REPORTS ALSO STATE THAT SOMETIMES YOU LOSE ACCELERATION AND STALL BECAUSE OF THE SENSOR. PLEASE CHECK THIS OUT BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND BARELY TOUCHED THE SHIFTER AND WHEN I TOUCH THE SHIFTER IT SLIPPED OVER INTO WHERE YOU SHIFT YOUR GEARS I FEEL LIKE IT'S A COULD CATCH THE CAR ON FIRE BECAUSE IT IS REVVED UP SO HIGH AND YOU DON'T EVEN REALIZE IT BECAUSE YOU CANT HEAR IT UNLESS YOU YOU GOT RADIO OFF AND WINDOWS UP AND YOU CAN NEVER TELL I DEFINITELY THINK THEY SHOULD HAVE MADE IT MORE SAFE WHEN FROM SOME KIND OF A LOCK ON THE SHIFTER FOR WHEN YOU WANT TO GO OVER INTO WHERE YOU SHIFT THE GEARS YOURSELF NOT TO MENTION HOW EXPENSIVE CARS ARE AND THAT YOU COULD VERY EASILY TEAR UP YOUR CAR BY IT BEING IN THE MANUAL SHIFTING AREA RATHER THAN THE AUTOMATIC SHIFT

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2007 JEEP PATRIOT. EVERY SINGLE TIME I PUT GAS IN IT, IT RUNS A VERY SHORT DISTANCE FROM THE GAS STATION AND STARTS TO BUCK AND JOLT LIKE IT WANTS TO SHUT OFF. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS IF I WAN TO GO ON HIGHWAY.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, STEERING
SINCE I BOUGHT CAR IN FEBRUARY OF 2018, IMMENSELY THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE REAR ENDED AND TIE RODS. I HAVE ALWAYS NOTICED HOW LOOSE THE STEERING IS AND IF I DRIVE IN A GROOVE IN ROAD THE CAR WOULD AUTOMATICALLY GO INTO THAT GROOVE. I ALSO NOTICE GOING UP A HILL THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD BE SET BUT CAR WOULD SLOW DOWN AND NOT GO UP IN ELEVATION VERY WELL. NOW THE JEEP IS CHUGGING SEVERELY WHEN I AM AT A COMPLETE STOP AND PLACE GAS TO GO AGAIN. IT ACTS LIKE FUEL SYSTEM IS MESSING UP AND/OR CONTINUOUS TRANSMISSION IS MESSED UP. ALSO THE DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER SEATS DO NOT HEAT AND MANUFACTURED SEAT CLIPS ALL BROKE SIMPLY BY GETTING OUT OF VEHICLE NORMALLY. THE PASSENGER SEATBELT ALSO LOCKS NO MATTER HOW OR SLOW YOU PULL IT AND LOCK IT IN. THE PASSENGER SEAT IS WAY HIGHER AND UNABLE TO ADJUST HEIGHT ETC.. I AM MORE CONCERNED ABOUT POWER AND SLUGGING FROM STOP POSITION AND CRUISE ON HILLS.

CAR HAS LESS THAN 30K MILES. ISSUE HAS BEEN RECURRENT SINCE PURCHASING-- NOW, ITS TO THE POINT THAT WE ARE TOO AFRAID TO DRIVE DEATH TRAP. CAR ENGINE DIES WHILE DRIVING AND VEHICLE IS INOPERABLE. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE CAR COMPLETELY STOPPED I WAS BARELY ABLE TO GET IT OVER ONTO THE SHOULDER. CHECK ENGINE AND ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHTS WERE ON. NOW, THE PROBLEM OCCURS MORE FREQUENTLY. THERE'S NO WARNING PRIOR TO CAR COMPLETELY DYING. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE ON THE HIGHWAY ALMOST GETTING US KILLED. IT ALSO OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING DOWN SIDE SIDES/MAIN ROADS SINCE WE NOW FEAR DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY PEOPLE WILL BE KILLED BY THIS - IF THEY HAVEN'T BEEN SO FAR

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY 2008 JEEP PATRIOT HESITATES, SPUTTERS, AND STALLS A FEW MINUTE AFTER I FILL IT UP. IF I DON'T FILL IT ALL THE WAY, IT DOES NOT STALL (AND I NEVER TOP-OFF WHEN FILLING). I HAVE STARTED THE PRACTICE OF ONLY FILLING 3/4 OR PULLING OVER IN THE GAS STATION TO LET THE CAR STALL AT IDLE BEFORE PROCEEDING. WHEN I FIRST NOTICED THE ISSUE A FEW MONTHS AGO, IT STALLED ON ME IN TRAFFIC AFTER LEAVING THE FUELING STATION. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS. MY MECHANIC AT THE DEALER TOLD ME TODAY HE BELIEVES THERE IS A BAD LIQUID/VAPOR VALVE ON THE GAS TANK CAUSING GAS TO ENTER AN EXHAUST LINE LEADING TO THE CARBON CANISTER, AND THAT A FULL GAS TANK REPLACEMENT IS NEEDED TO REPLACE THIS BAD VALVE. HE ALSO OFFERED, THAT I COULD JUST CONTINUE TO ONLY FILL THE TANK 3/4 AND SHOULD BE FINE. AT $2,000 TO REPLACED THE TANK, I MAY NEED TO CONSIDER HAVING THIS WORK DONE BY A NON-CHRYSLER SHOP? I FOUND THIS DISCUSSION ONLINE TODAY, AND EVERYONE IS HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AS ME (WITH SOME HAVING DETAILED ACCOUNTS OF MAKING CLAIMS WITH THE NHTSA). PLEASE TAKE FIVE MINUTES TO REVIEW. THIS SEEMS LIKE A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE, AND I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING IT! HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T29898_DS631498 I'M NOT SURE WHAT CONDITIONS ARE NEEDED TO JUSTIFY A RECALL, BUT I'D ENCOURAGE YOU ALL TO GET OUT IN FRONT OF THIS ONE. THE '07 AND '08 PATRIOTS SEEM TO BE SYSTEMICALLY HAVING THIS ISSUE AND A RECALL MAY BE NEEDED TO SAVE LIVES (JUST IMAGINE ALL THESE CARS STALLING IN TRAFFIC)? I BELIEVE I HAVE TAKE GREAT CARE OF MY JEEP, BUT NEVER ANTICIPATED THIS ISSUE, AND THERE IS NO INDICATION FROM A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THAT THIS PROBLEM IS BEING MONITORED BY THE SYSTEM. I THINK I ALSO OBSERVED THE STEERING WHEEL LOCK WHEN THIS OCCURRED, OR AT LEAST BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO OPERATE. MY JEEP HAS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK FULL, THE ENGINE STALLS AND HESITATES FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS AFTER FIRST STARTING THE ENGINE BACK UP AFTER THE FILLING OF THE TANK. IT CAUSES MY ENGINE TO COMPLETELY STOP WORKING AND I HAVE TO TURN THE KEY OFF AND RESTART THE ENGINE. I HAVE STALLED OUT IN TRAFFIC CAUSING THE CHANCE FOR AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAPPENS AS I TURN THE CAR BACK ON AND BEGIN DRIVING RIGHT AFTER FILLING THE TANK FULL OF GAS.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING SLOWLY (~10 MPH) SB I PREPARED TO MAKE A RIGHT-TURN (WB), IN THE ONLY LANE THAT TURNS RIGHT. AS I NEARED THE INTERSECTION THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, ENABLING ME AND THE (1) LANE ON MY LEFT TO GO (IT GOES SB). NO CAR WAS AHEAD OF ME (TO TURN). THE STREET I WAS TURNING ONTO HAD ONE (WB) LANE, AND TWO LANES (STOPPED), THAT GO EB. NOTE: (MAY BE RELEVANT), I FREQUENTLY DOWN-SHIFT (AUTOMATIC) TRANSMISSIONS (USING THE "PADDLES" OR "BUTTONS", WHATEVER'S ON THE SHIFT COLUMN), ON ALL AUTOMATIC TRANS. CARS I DRIVE, WHEN I SLOW DOWN. I DO THIS TO SAVE WEAR & TEAR ON MY BRAKES, WHEN APPROACHING STOP-SIGNS OR RED-LIGHTS. I DOWN SHIFT GRADUALLY, JUST LIKE ON A MANUAL TRANS. WHEN IT'S TIME TO GO, I HOLD THE PADDLE IN THE "UP-SHIFT" MODE, UNTIL I SEE "DRIVE" ON THE TRANS. INDICATOR. IN THIS ACCIDENT, AS THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN (THE TRANS. WAS IN A LOW GEAR), I HELD THE PADDLE IN "UP-SHIFT" MODE (NOTE: I MAY HAVE CLICKED THE PADDLE 1 GEAR UP BEFORE IT WENT TO "DRIVE", I DON'T REMEMBER), AND STARTED THE TURN, BARELY PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR. WHEN I WAS APPR. HALFWAY (45 DEGREES) INTO THE TURN (POINTED SWB AT THE OPPOSITE TWO LANES), I FELT THE ENGINE "STAGGER" (LIKE IF YOU ACCIDENTALLY SHIFT A MANUAL TRANS. INTO A HIGH GEAR BUT YOU MEANT A LOW GEAR), AND IN A FRACTION OF A SECOND-THE CAR ROCKETED AHEAD (I HEARD RPMS) SLAMMING ME INTO THE WB CAR(S) SO FAST, I DIDN'T EVEN MAKE 90 DEGREES, NOR COULD I BRAKE (I TRIED). THE 1ST CAR IMPACTED WENT BACKWARD (AND TO THE RIGHT) HITTING THE CAR BEHIND, AND HIT THE CAR IN THE RIGHT LANE. NOTE: 1. JEEP WAS TOTALED. 2. THIS ACCIDENT WAS IN DRY WEATHER, MID-MORNING @ INTERSECTION I DRIVE NEARLY EVERY DAY. 3.THE AIRBAG FAILED & I WAS BRIEFLY KNOCKED-OUT W/SOME INJURIES. 4. THIS IS NOT: " I HIT THE GAS BUT MEANT THE BRAKE" CASE, I WENT FROM SLOW TO ROCKET-SHIP. 5. I'VE BEEN DRIVING > 40 YEARS W/O ACCIDENT. 5. I'M A PILOT W/GOOD REFLEXES. *TT *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY, SUSPENSION
IN AUGUST 2017, THE VEHICLE UNDERWENT MAINTENANCE WITH NO REPORTED PROBLEMS OR CONCERNS. IN MAY 2018, DRIVING FELT UNSTABLE. NEW TIRES WERE NEEDED, SO AN APPOINTMENT WAS MADE ALONG WITH AN ALIGNMENT TO COVER BASES. THE MECHANIC CALLED AND REPORTED THAT TIRES COULD NOT SAFELY BE PUT ON, DUE TO CORROSION ALONG THE CAR'S SUBFRAME (AKA CROSSMEMBER); THE MECHANIC DEMONSTRATED BY SHOWING HOW EASILY PERFORATION OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO A DEALERSHIP; WHILE THE SUBFRAME WAS COVERED BY WARRANTY, THE CORROSION WAS SEVERE ENOUGH THAT BALDING TIRES COULD NOT BE REPLACED WITHOUT EXTENSIVE PARTS REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE IS PRIMARILY DRIVEN FROM ONE GARAGE TO ANOTHER, IN VARIOUS CONDITIONS. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY BEEN ON SEVERAL DIRT ROADS ROUGHLY TWO YEARS AGO, BUT MAJORITY OF DRIVING WAS ON HIGHWAYS. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED USED IN 2016. SPECIFIC OCCURRENCE AND ONSET OF CORROSION TO SUBFRAME NOT KNOWN.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I AM WRITING IN REGARDS TO AN ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING WITH MY JEEP PATRIOT THAT UPON FURTHER RESEARCH SEEMS TO BE PLAGUING MANY PATRIOT OWNERS AS WELL WITH NO SOLUTION. RANDOMLY MY VEHICLE WOULD LOSE ACCELERATION AND THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT WOULD LIGHT. WHEN THIS WOULD HAPPEN I WOULD LOSE THE POWER TO ACCELERATE AND WOULD HAVE TO PULL OVER AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. ONCE RESTARTED THE PROBLEM WOULD NO LONGER BE THERE AS IF IT DIDN'T HAPPEN. SOMETIMES THE 4WD AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WOULD IGNITE DURING THESE EPISODES. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN FOR DIAGNOSTICS, BUT NOTHING POPPED ON THEIR END AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE ONLY WAY FOR THEM TO KNOW WHAT IS WRONG IS IF IT HAPPENS WHEN THEY HAVE IT. BEING THERE CAN BE A WEEK OR MORE BETWEEN EPISODES THIS ISN'T FEASIBLE. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND FIXED BY THE MANUFACTURER BEING IT'S DANGEROUS FOR THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS. JUST TWO WEEKS AGO MY VEHICLE HAD THIS EPISODE OCCUR WHILE CROSSING AN INTERSECTION. THANKFULLY I MANAGED TO MAKE IT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION WITHOUT INCIDENT BUT BEING A PREGNANT MOTHER DRIVING HER TODDLER AROUND THIS SITUATION COULD OF COST US OUR LIVES. TONIGHT MY CAR DID THE SAME AND I NEARLY GOT HIT BECAUSE I LOST ACCELERATION SUDDENLY ON A 55MPH ROAD. THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A SAFE PLACE BUT NOW MY VEHICLE IS NO LONGER DRIVABLE AND WILL HAVE TO BE TOWED TO BE FIXED. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 72000 MILES ON IT .

THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL OCCASIONS NOW WHEN MY JEEP HAS SLOWED TO A COMPLETE STOP WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. IT STARTS WITH A HIGH WHINING NOISE THEN THE COOLANT LIGHT COMES ON FOLLOWED BY MY JEEP LOSING THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. THE HIGHWAY SPEED IS 75 MPH AND THIS MAKES FOR A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. JEEP CAN BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR ANY ACCIDENT OR INJURY THAT OCCURS DURING THIS MALFUNCTION.

A LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR STARTS SLOWING DOWN SO YOU MUST PULL OVER UNTIL THE LIGHT GOES OUT, BUT IT HAPPENS AGAIN AND AGAIN. IT IS SO DANGEROUS TO BE STUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OR IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. THE DEALERSHIP HAS HAD THE CAR MANY TIMES AND SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A LIFETIME WARRANTY. IT IS LIKE OWNING A GOLF CART. THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET WITH THE SAME ISSUE. IT SHOULD BE A RECALL!

IT ALWAYS HAPPENS WHILE ON THE FREEWAY. AFTER A CHOKEHOLD HOURS OF DRIVING, GAS TANK IS FINE, MY CAUSE SHUTS OFF, UNABLE TO ACCEL AND NO FUNCTION TO INCREASE SPEED. I HAVE TO THEN PULL TO THE SIDE AND WAIT FOR IT TO "COOL DOWN." THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES. LAST TIME IT HAPPENED I HAD ONLY BEEN DRIVING FOR 1 HR AND THE TRANSMISSION TEMP. WARNING LIGHT CAME ON.

JUST 15,983 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE. WHEN DRIVING AND ACCELERATING THE ENGINE LOSES POWER AND THE LIGHTENING BOLT COMES ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. IT LOSES POWER IN TRAFFIC. AT 70 MPH. ALL OF THIS. IT APPEARS TO BE THE THROTTLE BODY. LOOKING AROUND THE INTERNET, IT IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE. RIDICULOUS AT JUST 15,983 MILES
