ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN I'M DRIVING AND LET OFF THE GAS TO COAST, GO AROUND CURVES, OR UPHILL;, MY JEEP SEEMS TO CUTOUT, SKIP, OR PUTTER AS I ACCELERATE AGAIN. IT SEEMS LIKE IT IS GOING TO DIE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. IT IS ONLY GETTING WORSE. AND OF COURSE I WAS 3,000 MILES OVER MY WARRANTY WHEN IT STATED HAPPENING.

POWER TRAIN
IT'S A STANDARD TRANSMISSION AND THE CLUTCH JUST WENT OUT. IT HAS LOW MILES ON IT AND IS USED TO GET TO WORK AND BACK, AROUND 10 MILES OR LESS ONE WAY. MECHANIC DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT WOULD GO OUT SO QUICKLY ON A VEHICLE WITH SUCH LITTLE MILEAGE ON IT. IT'S AROUND 46,000 MILES. IT WAS BEING DRIVEN WHEN THE CLUTCH JUST WOULDN'T GO INTO GEAR ANYMORE AND HAD TO BE TOWED.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING IS WITH THE ROLLOVER VALVE WHICH IS LOCATED IN THE GAS TANK. WHEN I PUT FUEL IN, IT ACTS LIKE IT IS FULL, EVEN THOUGH THE GAS GAUGE IS TELLING ME THAT I HAVE TANK OF GAS. IT WILL ONLY TAKE THE GAS IF I PUT IN GALLON AT A TIME. THEN WHEN I START TO DRIVE IT, IT WANTS TO STALL, AND I HAVE TO GIVE IT THE GAS AND THEN IT RUNS. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ONLINE AND THIS IS A PROBLEM IN ALL JEEPS. IF I AM IN AN ACCIDENT THE ROLLOVER VALVE COULD REMAIN OPEN INSTEAD OF CLOSING. THE VALVE IS STICKING AND UNRELIABLE. THIS VALVE DOES IT EVERY TIME YOU PUT GAS IN IT.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAD MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON. I WENT TO AUTO ZONE AND HAD THEM RUN A QUICK DX CHECK TO SEE WHY THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CODE THAT CAME UP REPORTED AN ISSUE WITH MY GAS CAP OR FUEL SENSOR. I AM NOT ABLE TO PUMP GAS INTO MY VEHICLE WITHOUT THE PUMP SHUTTING OFF CONTINUOUSLY; WHEN PUMPING MY GAS I HAVE TO HOLD THE PUMPS LEVER AND IT WILL STILL LOSE PRESSURE AND SHUT OFF. I HAVE TO PUMP VERY SLOWLY IN ORDER TO FILL UP MY VEHICLE. WHEN GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY I CAN FEEL A SURGE IN MY ACCELERATION AND I HAVE NOTICED ISSUES IN BEING ABLE TO PICK UP SPEED. I ALSO STARTED TO HAVE AN ISSUE WITH A LOUD CLICKING WHEN TURNING ON MY HEAT OR AC. I STARTED LOOKING IN THE PROBLEMS MORE ON JEEPSCARES FORUMS. I SAW VARIOUS REPORTS ON BOTH ISSUES, ON ONE OF THE POSTS THEY ENCOURAGED ANYONE HAVING ISSUES WITH THE FUEL SENSOR TO REPORT THE PROBLEM TO NHTSA.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER FILLING UP MY VEHICLE THE CAR STUDDERS AND STOP IN TRAFFIC. WHEN TRYING TO MOVE FORWARD BY PRESSING THE GAS IT WON'T MOVE UNTIL I TURN THE CAR COMPLETELY OFF. ONCE I RESTART THE VEHICLE IT MOVES AGAIN. THIS IS HAZARDOUS TO MY FAMILY AND SELF.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN DRIVING THE ENGINE SEEMS TO SPUTTER, STALL, JERK, REV THE RPM AT RANDOM WHEN DRIVING. IT HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 70 OR IN A NEIGHBORHOOD GOING 25 WHILE DRIVING OR STARTING TO GO FROM A STOP. IT WILL JERK REALLY HARD LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL OUT BUT NO LIGHTS COME ON THE DASH TO INDICATE SOMETHING IS WRONG AND I HAVE TAKEN IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES AND THEY TELL ME IT IS NORMAL, I'VE NEVER HAD ANY VEHICLE BEHAVE THIS WAY EXCEPT WHEN I WAS 15 LEARNING HOW TO DRIVE A MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND THAT WASN'T THE FAULT OF THE VEHICLE. IT ALSO WILL WHILE IN PARK RANDOMLY REV THE RPMS WHEN NOTHING IS BEING USED IN THE VEHICLE, IF I THEN PUT IT IN DRIVE AND BACK TO PARK IT USUALLY SETTLES DOWN BUT NOT ALWAYS, SOMETIMES I HAVE TO SHUT IT OFF AND BACK ON. THE JERKING AND SPUTTERING WHILE DRIVING HAS GOTTEN A LOT WORSE IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS, OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS IT WOULD RANDOMLY DO IT BUT IT HAPPENS MORE AND MORE NOW EVERY TIME I DRIVE AND I AM CONSCERNED THAT ONE DAY IT WILL STALL OUT AND CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT. I HAVE INQUIRED MANY TIMES ABOUT THIS TO NO AVAIL FROM 3 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS.

AIR BAGS
I PULLED UP IN FRONT OF A STORE TO LOAD SOME THINGS INTO MY CAR. THE CAR WAS IN PARK AND LEFT RUNNING. IT ONLY TOOK A FEW MINUTES TO LOAD THE CAR. WHEN I RETURNED TO THE DRIVER'S SEAT, I NOTICED MY HEADREST HAD POPPED OPEN. I LOOKED IT UP ON MY PHONE AND DISCOVERED THAT THE ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINT (AHR) HAD BEEN ACTIVATED. DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS, I DROVE STRAIGHT HOME AND DIDN'T DRIVE THE VEHICLE AGAIN UNTIL I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON MONDAY NIGHT. THE INCIDENT HAPPENED ON SATURDAY. I AM THANKFUL THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN WHILE I WAS DRIVING - IT COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

I BOUGHT MY 2015 JEEP PATRIOT ON JULY 4, 2020. EVERY SINCE I'VE HAD MY TRUCK, THERE HAS BEEN PROBLEMS. I HAVE TAKEN MY TRUCK TO 4 MECHANICS AND THEY CAN'T SEEM TO FIND A PROBLEM. ALSO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I GOT THE TRUCK FROM HAS NOT EVEN TRIED TO CONTACT ME BACK ABOUT THEM FIXING IT FOR ME. I'M STUCK WITH A VEHICLE THAT DOESN'T WORK AT THIS POINT.
