I HAD TO HAVE THE SUBFRAME AND CROSS MEMBER REPLACED ON MY 2008 PATRIOT IN JANUARY 2017, IT HAS RUSTED AGAIN AND THE SAME PARTS NEED REPLACED, IT WAS REPLACED OE PARTS WHICH I FEEL WERE FAULTY. I WAS MAKING A U-TURN ON A SMALL CITY STREET AND MY REAR CROSS MEMBER BROKE, I THOUGHT I RAN OVER A SOMETHING THEN MY STEERING WHEEL SHIMMED , MY TIRES THAT WERE HELD IN THE CROSS MEMBER WERE NOW TILTED IN TO MY CROSS MEMBER MAKING BLACK SMOKE. MY TIRE RUBBED ON MY WHEEL WELL UNTILL BLEW . I WAS VERY LUCKY I WAS NOT GOING FAST WHEN THIS OCCURED.

ENGINE
AT THE FIRST INSTANCE OF THE ENGINE STALLING, THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, BUT SLOWING TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT. THE NEXT INSTANCE OF THE VEHICLE STALLING, IT WAS STOPPED. THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN, BUT TRIED TO RESTART ON ITS OWN. AFTER RESETTING THE IGNITION KEY, AND WAITING ABOUT 3 MINUTES, THE VEHICLE STARTED...AND REMAINED IN A RUNNING STATE UNTIL WE ARRIVED AT HOME. THE NEXT TIME THE VEHICLE WAS USED, IT WAS STARTED VIA THE KEY FOB. IT STARTED, AND WITHIN 15 SECONDS, THE CAR SHUT DOWN. LATER THAT DAY, WE TOOK IT TO A VALVOLINE OIL CHANGE FACILITY, WHERE THEY CHECKED FOR ENGINE CODES VIA THE OBD PORT. AND ERROR OF "CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR" WAS NOTED. LATER THAT DAY, WHILE PULLING IN TO A PARKING LOT, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND ATTEMPTED A RESTART ON ITS OWN. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES, THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY (AT AROUND 60 MPH), THE ENGINE STALLED AND ATTEMPTED A RESTART 4 TIMES (ON ITS OWN). IT RESTARTED, AND STAYED THAT WAY FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE TRIP HOME. IN RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM, THERE IS A RECALL (S89) ON THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE, BUT THE DATE OF MANUFACTURE IS OUT OF RANGE WITH OUR VEHICLE, OR DOES NOT APPLY TO THE ALL WHEEL DRIVE VERSION (WHICH WE HAVE).

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, STEERING
THE VEHICLE WILL CONTINUOUSLY STALL AND BUCK WHILE IDLING FOR ABOUT ONE MINUTE AFTER FILLING UP WITH FUEL. THIS HAS OCCASIONALLY HAPPENED ON THE ROAD WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION IMMEDIATELY AFTER LEAVING THE GAS STATION. IN THESE CASES, THE DRIVER IS PUT IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS, AS THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS-UP WHEN THE CAR STALLS. THE CAR IS NEVER "TOPPED-OFF" BUT FILLED UNTIL THE FIRST PUMP CLICK. AFTER ABOUT A MINUTE, THE PROBLEM WILL RESOLVE AND THE VEHICLE WILL RUN FINE UNTIL THE NEXT FUELING. THE EXACT CAUSE IS UNKNOWN, BUT THE EVAP SYSTEM OR FUEL TANK ROLLOVER-VALVE IS SUSPECTED AS THE CULPRIT. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT MANY OTHER JEEP PATRIOT OWNERS EXPERIENCE AND NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH. *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I HAVE A 2013 JEEP PATRIOT AND THE ENGINE AND TEMPERATURE LIGHT COMES ON; ON TOP ON THAT IT STARTS TO DECREASE IN SPEED SLOWING DOWN OUT OF NOWHERE I JUST STARTED FINANCING THIS VEHICLE AND READ REVIEWS THAT OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM ON REPEAT SPENDING A LOT OF MONEY ON TRYING TO REPAIR THE SAME ISSUES. IT'S DEFINITELY A HAZARD THAT IS NOT A SOLID FIX. HOPEFULLY ME REACHING OUT CAN HELP MY PROBLEM AND OTHERS. I AM USING THIS VEHICLE FOR WORK SO IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT IT'S SAFE AND SECURES MY FINANCES AS WELL. *TR

AS I AM DRIVING, WHEN I SLOW DOWN OR SIT IN TRAFFIC MY CAR RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF WITHOUT ANY INDICATION THAT ANYTHING IS WRONG ON THE DASHBOARD. I CAN'T BRAKE NOR ACCELERATE WHEN THIS HAPPENS. MECHANIC DOESN'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG BUT IT HAPPENS ATLEAST 3 TIMES A MONTH. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN ON A HIGHWAY OR VERY BUSY BOULEVARD. I'VE ALMOST CRASHED EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENS WHILE MY DAUGHTER IS IN THE VEHICLE. *TR
