FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
TAKES ABOUT 15 MINUTES OR MORE TO PUT GAS IN MY GAS TANK. ON THE INTERNET SEARCH IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM THAT A LOT OF JEEP PATRIOT'S HAVE. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ THE CAUSE IS A ROLL OVER VALVE WHICH IS PLASTIC AND LOCATED IN THE TANK ITSELF. THAT THE ONLY WAY TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM IS TO GET A NEW TANK PUT IN. I FEEL THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE HAD A RECALL ON THIS AND SHOULD HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM.ON THE INTERNET VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM RANGING FROM 2007-2015. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I TRY TO PUT GAS IN MY CAR.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AFTER EXITING THE INTERSTATE. THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I PRESSED THE GAS AND THE CAR ACCELERATED FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THE. THE WHEELS QUIT SPINNING AND THE ENGINE LIGHT LIT UP ON THE DASH. I WAS IN THE ROAD NEARLY BEING MISSED BY OTHER CARS AND I WAS ONLY ABLE TO GET MY CAR OUT OF THE ROAD BY TURNING OF THE CAR AND CRANKING IT BACK TO MOVE A FEW FEET REPEATEDLY UNTIL I REACHED A SIDE ROAD. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A HIGHLY RATED REPAIR SHOP AND WAS TOLD AN ELECTRICAL PART INSIDE THE CVT TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED, THIS WAS NOT DUE TO FAILURE TO MAINTAIN THE VEHICLE, AND THIS WAS A DESIGN FLAW WITHIN THE CVT TRANSMISSION. THE REPAIR IS ESTIMATED TO BE $5194.28. ESTIMATE IS ATTACHED.

THE MUFFLER MELTED THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE. IT ALMOST CAUGHT FIRE AFTER 2 HOURS ON THE ROAD WITH NO INDICATION. WE MANAGED TO PUSH MUFFLER DOWN AND IT STOPPED MELTING THE PLASTIC. WE STOPPED FOR GAS AND SAW THE DAMAGE. I DID NOT NOTICE THE MUFFLER WAS STUCK IN THE UPWARD POSITION BEFORE THE TRIP SO IT WAS NOT A CONCERN UNTIL WE STOPPED. WE WERE ON INTERSTATE 25 SOUTHBOUND RIGHT OUT OF ALBUQUERQUE, NM.

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE 3 ALTERNATORS THROUGHOUT THE PAST 2 MONTHS DUE TO A ELECTRIC PROBLEM. MY BATTERY LIGHT BECAME ILLUMINATED EACH TIME I WAS ON THE EXPRESSWAY GOING AROUND 70 MPH. THE BATTERY LIGHT INDICATOR TELLS ME MY BATTERY IS NOT PROPERLY CHARGING DUE TO MY ALTERNATOR. THIS LEADS TO IT HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE COMPUTER IN MY CAR AS I WAS TOLD BY MY MECHANIC AND THAT THE PROBLEM WITH KEEP HAPPENING UNTIL I GET ANOTHER COMPUTER WHICH COSTS A GOOD AMOUNT TO HAVE REPLACED OR FIXED.

WITHIN 7 YEARS IN A RUST BELT STATE THE JEEPS CROSSMEMBER IS SO RUSTED ITS NO LONGER SAFE TO DRIVE. MY JEEP HAS BEEN SITTING PARKED FOR TWO YEARS BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO REPARE THIS HORRIBLE RUST DAMAGE, ONLY TO FIND OUT THERE HAS BEEN AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS SINCE 2017, I WAS NOT INFORMED BECAUSE ITS NOT A RECALL.. THIS WAS KNOWN BY CHESTER/JEEP SINCE THE 2007 MODEL, I'M GLAD THEY AT LEAST OFFER A 10 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE CROSSMEMEBER, HOWEVER THATS NOT GOOD ENOUGH. PEOPLE NEED TO BE MADE AWARE THAT THEIR VEHICLE MAY SNAP IN HALF WITH LITTLE OR NO WARNING TO THE AVERAGE DRIVER. THIS IS JUST AS SERIOUS AS A SEAT BELT OR AIRBAG MALFUNCTION AND YET THIS ISN'T A RECALL? THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW THEIR VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE, A RECALL IS THE ONLY WAY THAT INFORMATION WILL SPREAD FAST AND FAR ENOUGH TO MATTER AND POSSIBLY SAVE LIVES, NOT JUST A FEW DOLLARS.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ABOUT 55 MILES AN HOUR, WHEN IT SUDDENLY LOST POWER. WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OVER, RESTART, AND CONTINUE TO MY LOCATION AFTER A FEW MINUTES. WHEN RESEARCHING THE ISSUE IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE 2016 JEEP PATRIOT HAS A RECALL WITH THE 'CRANKSHAFT OR CAMSHAFT SENSOR MAY ONLY WORK INTERMITTENTLY, CAUSING THE ENGINE TO STALL. IF THE ENGINE STALLS, THERE IS AN INCREASED THE RISK OF A CRASH.' NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V907000 THE DATES FOR THAT RECALL ARE MAY 9, 2016, TO JULY 15, 2016. THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION WAS MANUFACTURED IN 12/15, WHICH IS NOT INCLUDED. CALLED A LOCAL DEALER, BUT HAD NO FAITH THAT THE ISSUE WAS GOING TO BE EASILY DISCOVERABLE AND OR FIXED AFTER INFORMING THEM OF THE ISSUE. WENT TO ANOTHER COMPANY WHO RAN A DIAGNOSTICS SERVICE. IMMEDIATELY FINDING ISSUES WITH THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR & CRANKSHAFT SENSOR. HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED AND BACK WITHIN TWO DAYS. BELIEVE THE CURRENT RECALL SHOULD ALSO INCLUDE MY VEHICLE MANUFACTURED DATE, BECAUSE IT HAS THE EXACT SAME ISSUES.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE TO PROTEST TO CALL STABILITY CONTROL TO BE SAFE DEVICE. IN OVER 120 000 MILES ON THE TIERS I REPLACED IF REMEMBER RIGHT: 6 SETS OF BREAKS SETS, 5 NEW NEW ROTORS, 2 CALIPERS BREAKS ASSEMBLE, FRONT HOUSE BREAKS LINE. DRIVING ON THE STRAIGHT HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ENGAGE THE BREAKS AT RANDOM. SOME TIME MAKING ME SEE SICK. I REMEMBER DRIVING 60 MILES AN HOUR THE BRAKES ENGAGE NEARLY PUSHED ME IN TO ANOTHER CAR. RECENTLY TRAVEL TO MOUTON REGAIN. THE BREAKS SLOWING ME DOWN. FOR NO KNOW CAUSE. I NOTICED DANGER PATER TOO. WHEN I MAKE A TURN IN THE WINDING ROAD, THE CAR IS GETTING EXTREMELY DANGERS. THE CAR BRAKING DOWN WHEN I INTEND TO ACCELERATE. THIS COLLISION OF INTEREST RESULTING IN: MY TRANSMISSION IS DOWN STEPS GOOD, THE RPM GO TO EXTREME. FIRST FROM 1,500 RACE TO 2000 THEN 3000 THEN 5000 SLOWING DOWN THE CAR. WHEN FINELY BREAKS ARE RELEASED IT KICK LIKE A MULE TRYING TO FORCE ME OF THE ROUTE. DON'T KNOW WAY ANY ONE NEED THAT TIP OF TRACTION CONTROL?. THIS IS MY SECOND VEHICLE IN THE ROW, THAT HAVE COMPUTER PROBLEM TO. RANDOM ACTION ON IN AND OUT COMPONENTS. THE LAST ONE DODGE ACCLAIM FORCED TO TRADE IN BECAUSE COMPUTER REPLACEMENT DID NOT SOLVED PROBLEM, I TESTED ABS BREAKS ON SLOW SPEED. IT WAS ONLY A TEST 10 MILES AN HOUR. I END UP I DITCH. IT WAS A WINTER SNOW. ONLY A TEST, MINER DAMAGE TO PLASTIC FENDER. IS IT PASSABLE TO RETURN TO REGULAR BREAKS, THAT WORK. THE ENGINE CONTROL UNIT PROHIBIT THAT ACTION SANCTION BY STATE INSPECTION. ( NO INSPECTION CAN BE PASS WHEN WARNING LIGHT IS ON). CAN ANY WAY I CAN GET REPLACEMENT FOR: GENERIC COMPUTER? GENERIC BREAKS SYSTEM? MAYBE I CAN GET WAIVE FOR INSTALLATION OF THAT SYSTEM? I AM A INDUSTRIAL MECHANIC BY TRADE AND PASSION. CAN EASY WIRED ANY COMPONENTS I NEED. [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
