ENGINE
ON OCTOBER 3, 2017, WHILE DRIVING STOP AND GO ON INTERSTATE 5, THE ENGINE JUST STOPPED AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON. THE WATER TEMPERATURE WAS NORMAL, SO I THOUGHT IT WAS NOT AN ENGINE PROBLEM. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC, AS STOPPING WITHOUT WARNING ON AN INTERSTATE CAN BE A PROBLEM. WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND RESTART THE ENGINE.

LESLIE, A SERVICE ADVISOR AT ABSHER ARNOLD MOTORS LOCATED IN MARION, ILLINOIS REFUSED TO PERFORM A SAFETY RECALL REPAIR ON MY 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. SHE STATED THEY COULD NOT GET THE PART AND THAT THE PART WAS BEING 'RATIONED OUT.' THIS WENT ON OVER A PERIOD OF ABOUT THREE WEEKS. UPON CONTACTING ANOTHER AREA DEALERSHIP (WEEKS IN WEST FRANKFORT) THEY HAD THE PART IN TWO DAYS AND PERFORMED THE RECALL REPAIR THE NEXT DAY. I FEEL THIS MATTER SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO SO THAT OTHERS AREN'T PROVIDED WITH THIS TYPE OF SERVICE AND FALSE INFORMATION. THANK YOU.

TAKATA RECALL- I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT ON 10/13/16. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND WHEN I WENT AROUND A TURN IT SEEMED LIKE MY BRAKES WERE LOCKING UP OR SOMETHING, I STARTED SWERVING AROUND ON THE HIGHWAY AND I EVENTUALLY LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE AND ENDED UP ROLLING THE VEHICLE TWICE BEFORE LANDING DOWN AN EMBANKMENT. MY CAR WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. I ESTIMATE THAT I WAS GOING AT A RATE OF AROUND 45-50 MILES PER HOUR. NONE OF THE AIRBAGS WENT OFF. AT A HIGH SPEED IMPACT THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE GONE OFF. I SUFFERED MINOR INJURIES, AND I STILL HAVE PAIN IN BOTH MY KNEES.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FILLING GAS TANK TO TOP (FILL VALVE TURNS OFF AT PUMP) WILL CAUSE JEEP TO SPUTTER AND STALL WHEN DRIVING OUT OF THE GAS STATION. STALLING WILL MOST OFTEN HAPPEN WHEN ACCELERATING OUT OF THE GAS STATION LOT INTO TRAFFIC. CAR WON'T START AGAIN UNTIL TURNING THE KEY COMPLETELY TO THE OFF POSITION AND THEN STARTING AGAIN. AFTER THAT, CAR WILL OPERATE NORMALLY. IF THE GAS TANK IS NOT FILLED TILL THE GAS AUTOMATICALLY TURNS OFF, THE JEEP WILL RUN JUST FINE. IF LEFT RUNNING A BIT BEFORE ACCELERATING OUT, THEN SEEMS TO BE FINE. NEED TO BURN OFF SOME GAS FROM THE TOP. I'VE HAD THIS ISSUE BEFORE (5 YEARS AGO, 2012) AND SOLUTION WAS TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK. NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THAT WORKED FOR A BIT, BUT IT IS OCCURRING AGAIN. HAVE HAD IT DIAGNOSED WITH DEALERSHIP AS SAME PROBLEM WITH GAS TANK AND A VALVE ON THE TANK.
