FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS TWICE NOW IT STALLS RIGHT AFTER I FILL UP THE GAS TANK. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS AND I'VE BEEN STALLED IN AN INTERSECTION THAT IS NOT SAFE. I JUST PURCHASED THIS USED A FEW WEEKS AGO AND WAS NOT AWARE OF THE PROBLEM OR I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED IT. IT'S A FUEL TANK ROLLOVER VALVE AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED YEARS AGO. THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED WHICH IS AN EXPENSIVE JOB. SHOULD BE RECALLED SO PEOPLE CAN GET IT FIXED BY DEALER AT THE DEALER COST. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS WITH NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR IT IS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT. WHY WASN'T THIS RECALLED YEARS AGO.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE CAR STALLS WHILE DRIVING IT DOWN THE ROAD AT MORE THEN 20MPH AND IT'S VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT DOES IT WITH NO LIGHT OR ANY INDICATION THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG. I BELIEVE IT'S COMPLETELY ELECTRICAL BUT I'M TAKING IT IN TO THE MECHANICS TOMORROW. I WAS DRIVING DOWN A HIGHWAY WHEN IT STALLED ON ME THANKFULLY I WAS ON THE SLOW LANE AND WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE BUT NOT BEFORE SOMEONE ALMOST REAR ENDING ME.

STRUCTURE:BODY, SERVICE BRAKES, SUSPENSION
I MADE A U-TURN IN MY VEHICLE ON A TOWN STREET , AS I COMPLETED THE U-TURN THE VEHICLES REAR SUSPENSION BROKE. THE BROKEN SUSPENSION MADE THE VEHICLE FEEL LIKE IT WAS GOING OVER A RUMBLE STRIP, THE SUSPENSION BEING BROKE MADE THE WHEELS TURN IN TOWARDS THE WHEEL WELLS WHERE IT RUBBED AND EVENTUALLY BLEW MY TIRE. I WAS LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO PULL OFF SAFELY. WHEN I FINALLY GOT IT TOO A AUTO SHOP THEY TOLD ME THE SUSPENSION RUSTED IN TWO .IT HAD TO BE MOVED WITH A FLAT BED. I HAD THE VEHICLES FRONT FIXED IN JANUARY OF 2017 . WHICH WAS UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY BECAUSE OF COMPLAINTS SO THE VEHICLES REAR TOOK AN EXTRA THREE YEARS TO RUST OUT WHICH IS ONLY TWO YEARS OVER THE WARRANTY. I HAVE ENCLOSED A COPY OF BILL FROM WHEN THEN FRONT WAS DONE.

POWER TRAIN
PURCHASED THE 2015 JEEP PATRIOT 02/2018 FROM CARMAX IN COLUMBIA, SC. MILEAGE WAS JUST OVER 27,000 MILES. IT CAME WITH A 5 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. 3/2/2019 - A T355 TRANSAXLE 2 WD, 5 SPEED TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED, AND CLUTCH. 4/15/2020 - PATRIOT WAS TOWED TO THE SHOP, CARTHAGE, TN. CLUTCH WENT OUT, REPLACED THE SLAVE CYLINDER, MASTER CLUTCH CYLINDER. 6/26/2020 - TOOK THE PATRIOT TO THE SHOP, CARTHAGE, TN. TRANSAXLE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IN 2019, THE POWERTRAIN WAS STILL UNDER MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY, WE SPOKE TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP IN SOUTH CAROLINA, THEY REFUSED TO DO THE WORK. WHEN WE CONTACTED JEEP 06/2020 WHEN THE JEEP TRANSMISSION WAS DEEMED NEEDED REPLACING AGAIN, JOSH, IN MANAGEMENT, INFORMED US THAT JEEP WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING AS THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED IN FEBRUARY OF 2020. RESEARCH HAS REVEALED THAT FROM 2007 TO 2016, THE 5 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION IS DEFECTIVE. WE CURRENTLY STILL OWE 8000.00 DOLLARS ON THE VEHICLE. WE ARE NOT WILLING TO PUT ANY MONEY INTO ANOTHER TRANSMISSION. BY THE TIME WE DID, WE WOULD HAVE OVER 5000.00 DOLLARS IN A WORTHLESS PIECE OF GARBAGE THAT IS NOT RELIABLE. OTHER ISSUES: TOTAL RIGHT FRONT REBUILD WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNING THE VEHICLE. OVERALL, THE VEHICLE IS A LEMON, AND WE NEED AN INVESTIGATION OPENED, AS JEEP HAS REFUSED TO ASSIST IN ANYWAY OR TO CORRECT THE ISSUE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING, ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF, THE STEERING LOCKED AND I WAS EXTREMELY LUCKILY. IMMEDIATELY AFTER, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING HAPPENED WHEN TURNING THE KEY. ALSO NO HORN, NO LIGHTS ... NOTHING. A SIMILAR THING HAPPENED 2 YEARS AGO AND THE JEEP DEALER STATED IT WAS A COMPUTER ISSUE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHEN IN IDLE AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE JEEP ENGINE SHUT OFF RANDOMLY WITH A BEEPING ALARM AND RED FLASHING BOLT ON THE DASH, REQUIRED ME TO TURN THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION AND RESTART THE CAR, THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED ONCE WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. BATTERY IS NEW AND BOTH THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR TESTED GOOD. WHEN ACCELERATING, BRAKING, OR STEERING, THE CABIN LIGHTS, HEADLIGHTS AND DASH/RADIO DIM OR BRIGHTEN OFTEN SLIGHT FLICKERING AND SOME TIMES THE INTERIOR ROOF CAB LIGHTS RANDOMLY TURN ON WHILE DRIVING EVEN WHEN NO DOOR IS AJAR AND DIMMER SWITCH IS TURNED DOWN OR COMPLETELY OFF. APPEARS THERE IS SOME SORT OF ELECTRICAL SHORT OR POWER DRAW ISSUE. THE REAR DRUM BREAKS CONTINUOUSLY SQUEAL, LEAK AND LEAVE RUST RESIDUE CORRODING THE RIMS EVEN THOUGH I'VE HAD THEM MAINTAINED AND CHANGED BY CERTIFIED GOODYEAR MECHANICS

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE OVER HEATING LIGHT TURNS ON ON THE DASH AND MY CAR OVER HEATS AFTER DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING OVER 50MPH FOR MORE THAN 15 MINUTES. HOWEVER, IF I DRIVE ON STATE ROADS GOING 50MPH OR UNDER THE CAR DOESN'T OVER HEAT. I GOT A NEW THERMOSTAT AND NEW RADIOTOR THINKING IT WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM AND IT DID NOT. THERE IS NO LEAK COMING FROM THE CAR SO IT IS NOT A WATER PUMP ISSUE. THE COOLANT LEVELS ARE GOOD.
