ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SEAT BELTS
WHILE DRIVING, LOSS OF POWER. WAS DRIVING 60 MPH, LOST POWER AND CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, BUT RPMS WOULD HIT 6K. HAD TO CHANGE ALTENATOR. WITH BRAND NEW ALTENATOR I GOT 90 MILES . THEN CAR WOULD ONLY HIT 20 MPH , AND RPMS WOULD HIT 6K WITH NO ACCELERATION. PULL OVER AND SIT 5 MINUTES THEN CAR WOULD ACCELERATE NORMAL. BUT THE PROBLEM HAPPENS EVERYTIME I START CAR AND GO TO DRIVE. HAVE READ THAT THE HAS BEEN AN ECU AND OTHER ISSUES AND RECALLS FOR IT WITH MANY OTHERS COMPLAINING. I WAS ON HIGHWAY. THERE SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE RADIO AS IT WITH THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF AND NO KEY IN IGNITION, THE STEREO MAKES NOISE LIKE IT'S TRYING TO WORK. FEEL VERYVUNSAGE AND IT SEEMS TO BE A MANUFACTURING ISSUE AS THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 90K MILES .

POWER TRAIN
AS I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 45 MILES PER HOUR, ON A TWO LANE ROAD, MY VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER. IT WOULDN'T HARDLY PULL ITSELF. IT ALMOST STALLED OUT COMPLETELY. I HAD TO SHUT IT OFF AND IT RESET FOR A SHORT TIME. FORTUNATELY I HAD A PLACE TO PULL OUT OF THE WAY. I'M HAVING TROUBLE GIVING MY VEHICLE THROTTLE NOW. I BELIEVE THE THROTTLE BODY IS THE PART THAT IS THE ISSUE. I'VE READ THAT IS A PROBLEM WITH OTHER JEEP PATRIOTS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
2012 JEEP PATRIOT 4 X 4 TAKES 20 MINUTES TO FILL GAS TANK DUE TO FAULTY VALVE. HAD THE DEALERSHIP RUN DIAGNOSTIC TESTS TODAY AND THEY TELL ME A NEW GAS TANK IS THE ONLY FIX DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH A VALVE INSIDE THE TANK....THEY CALLED IT A "FLAPPER" AND AN "INLET CHECK VALVE". TALKED TO JEEP AND TO TWO DEALERSHIPS AND NO ONE WANTS TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ISSUE. I ALSO FOUND THE FOLLOWING TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN WHICH EXTENDS THE GAS SYSTEM WARRANTY ON A NUMBER OF MAKES/MODELS FOR THIS VERY SAME ISSUE, BUT THE JEEP PATRIOT IS NOT INCLUDED - TSB 14-001-09 REV.A THIS IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING AND DANGEROUS.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
EVERY TIME GAS TANK IS FILLED THE CAR BUCKS THEN STALLS AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS. THIS HAPPENS RIGHT AFTER FILLING THE TANK AND PULLING OUT OF THE GAS STATION. I HAVE READ ON FORUMS THAT THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM IN JEEPS FOR YEARS BUT HAS YET TO BE ADDRESSED. ACCORDING TO THE POST THE ISSUE HAS TO DEAL WITH THE VAPOR/LIQUID SEPARATOR VALVE. ADDITIONALLY, I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED ISSUES WITH GAS PUMPS SHUTTING OFF WHEN ATTEMPTING TO FILL THE TANK. I ATTEMPTED TO TAKE IT TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP WHERE I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW GAS CAP. $100 LATER AND STILL THE SAME ISSUE.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY REAR PASSENGER SIDE AXLE BROKE. AND IT NEEDED A SWAY BAR LINK FOR THE SAME SIDE. I BOUGHT A NEW AXLE AND SWAY BAR LINK. MY MECHANIC TOOK OFF MY TIRE TO FIX THE PARTS AND SAID THAT THE FRAME OR SUB FRAME IS COMPLETELY CORRODED AND UNABLE TO HOLD THE SWAY BAR LINK BECAUSE THERE IS NO PLACE TO ATTACH IT. YESTERDAY I WENT TO THE STORE AND THE NEW AXLE BROKE WHILE DRIVING. VERY UNSAFE AND WHEN I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE IN MAY 2018 I WAS NOT TOLD ABOUT IT. I HAD THE JEEP INSIDE A SHOP TO FIX MY SLAVE CYLINDER IN NOV. 2019 AND A FEW OTHER THINGS AND THEY NEVER EVEN TOLD ME HOW BAD IT LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE. I HAVE CALLED JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY JEEP. BUT WHEN I DID SOME RESEARCH EVERYONE HAS HAD THE SAME ISSUE I AM HAVING. THERE WAS A RECALL ON ALL JEEPS FOR THE SUB FRAME RUSTING OUT. AND EVERY CUSTOMER SAID JEEP WOULDN'T HELP

POWER TRAIN
I WAS DRIVING APPROX 45 MPH WHEN I HEARD A POPPING NOISE FOLLOWED BY GRINDING NOISE WHILE IN 5TH GEAR. TOOK MY CAR TO THE SHOP AND WAS TOLD IT LOOKED LIKE THE TRANSMISSION. I THEN TOOK IT TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP WHO VERIFIED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS SHOT. IT WAS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES. I HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED WITH A NEW ONE. WHEN I WENT TO PICK UP MY CAR, I ASKED TO TAKE PICTURES SO THAT I COULD TALK TO JEEP ABOUT HAVING A TRANSMISSION FAIL AT 103K MILES. WHILE TAKING PICTURES AND LOOKING AT THE DAMAGED TRANSMISSION, THE MECHANIC SAID " WAIT A MINUTE. WHAT YEAR IS YOUR JEEP?" I TOLD HIM IT WAS A 2014. HE SAID, "LOOK AT THIS STICKER. IT MEANS THAT THIS TRANSMISSION WAS MANUFACTURED IN 2016. SO, YOU ARE ACTUALLY ON YOUR 3RD TRANSMISSION." I WAS ABLE TO TRACK THE TRANSMISSION BY THE PART NUMBER AND FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS INSTALLED IN JULY 2016. THE ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 51,477 MILES. THE ONE THAT JUST CAME OUT FAILED AT 52, 075 MILES.

ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING MY ENGINE RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF AND MY WHEEL LOCKS. AFTER IT DOES SO THE CAR WON'T START BACK UP. WHEN IT FINALLY DOES AND I GET THE CAR INTO PARK, THE CAR SHUTS BACK OFF AND IT REPEATEDLY DOES SO UNTIL IT WON'T START AT ALL AND I HAVE TO WAIT 15-39 MINUTES FOR IT TO START UP AND DRIVE NORMAL. THIS HAPPENS MORE THAN 5 OR 10 MINES ON A DAILY BASIS. IT HAPPENS ON HIGHWAYS, CITY STREETS, IT EVEN SHUTS OFF WHEN I'M NOT IN MOTION. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT SPEED I'M GOING OR IF I'M INCREASING OR DECREASING MY SPEED. IT SHUTS OFF WHEN EVER AND WHERE EVER.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
MY CAR WAS IN MOTION AND I LOST POWER WHILE MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND I WAS UNABLE TO GET THE CAR STARTED BACK UP. I GOT THE CAR TOWED AND WHEN IT ARRIVED AT THE MECHANIC IT STARTED BACK UP JUST FINE, THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE AS NO ERROR MESSAGE WAS ON MY DASHBOARD, THEREFORE THEIR DIAGNOSTIC DEVICE COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT CAUSED MY CAR TO STALL. THE MECHANIC KEPT MY CAR FOR A WHILE AND IT FINALLY GAVE OUT ON THEM AGAIN AND THEY DISCOVERED BY THROTTLE BODY HAD GONE OUT. I HAD THIS ISSUE IN MAY OF 2017 AND HAD IT FIXED AT A JEEP DEALERSHIP AND LESS THAN 3 YEARS LATER MY CAR HAS THE VERY SAME ISSUE.

ALSO CAUSES MULTIPLE ENGINE CODES TO BECOME DETECTED ACTIVATING MIL.
