UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE HEATER CORE IS CLOGGING NOT LETTING ANTIFREEZE THRU HEATER CORE HAS CLOGGED NUMEROUS TIMES. WE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE IT, FLUSH IT, ETC. IN OUR VEHICLE, IT BLOWS WARM/HOT ON DRIVERS SIDE BUT AS YOU CROSS OVER VEHICLE IT BLOWS COLD ON PASSENGER SIDE. THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR AND SHOP HAS SAID THIS SEEMS TO BE A DESIGN PROBLEM CAUSING METAL BITS TO COLLECT AND BUILD UP AND BLOCK UP THE HEATER CORE. SOMETHING IS CAUSING BLOCKAGE. THIS HAS OCCURRED OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS. THE LAST TIME IT WAS REPLACED WAS IN 2015. I OPTED NOT TO HAVE IT REPLACED AGAIN THIS TIME UNTIL WE FIGURE OUT THE CAUSE. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE SERVICE TECH CHECKED THE BLEND DOOR, THE THERMOSTAT, AND FLUSHED THE HEATER CORE. HE SAID THE HEATER CORE NEEDS REPLACING AGAIN. THIS IS ALMOST $800 AGAIN ON THIS PART. I SPOKE WITH CHRYSLER JEEP TO MAKE SURE IT IS DOCUMENTED BUT NOT SURE WHAT THEY DO WITH THIS INFORMATION. DURING THE CONVERSATION THEIR PEOPLE WERE SAYING DIFFERENT THINGS REGARDING HOW THEY MONITOR PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLES AND/OR PARTS. TO ENSURE THAT THIS DEFECT IS REPORTED I AM FILING A COMPLAINT WITH THE NHTSA. I WOULD LIKE FOR THEM TO RESEARCH WHAT IS CAUSING THIS PROBLEM SO THAT IT DOES NOT OCCUR IN THE FUTURE AS WELL AS IF IT BECOMES APPARENT THAT THEIR IS A DESIGN FLAW OR OTHER IN THE HEATER CORE SYSTEM OR ENGINE THAT PROPER ACTION IS TAKEN. BE IT RECALL OR OTHER.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I HAVE BEEN HAVING A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE WITH MY JEEP. IT STALLS NUMEROUS TIMES AFTER I GET FUEL. IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH JEEP PATRIOTS. IT HAS ALSO COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 2012+ MODELS FOR THE ISSUE. I AM WONDERING WHY THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON THE 2009 MODEL THAT I HAVE? AFTER EXTENSIVE RESEARCH, IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A VER COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2007-2009 MODELS AS WELL. THIS ISSUE IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS, AND HAS NEARLY CAUSED ME TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT NUMEROUS TIMES. BEING MY ONLY MODE OF TRANSPORTATION, I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE IT. WHY HAS JEEP NOT ISSUED A RECALL FOR ALL YEARS, IT CLEARLY AFFECTS MORE THAN JUST 2012+ VEHICLES.

WHEN MY DAUGHTER FILLS THIS CAR UP WITH GAS, IT WILL STALL WHEN SHE IS AT STOP SIGNS/LIGHTS WHEN IDLING. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE SHE WAS TRYING TO MAKE A TURN. THIS IS SO DANGEROUS. I HAVE SEEN THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE ROLL OVER SENSOR IN THE GAS TANK, AND IT NEEDS TO BE A MANUFACTURER RECALL.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER FILLING UP THE FUEL TANK THE ENGINE WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC MULTIPLE TIMES FOR SEVERAL MILES. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE SINCE YOU LOSE ACCELERATION, POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. THIS HAS CAUSED SEVERAL NEAR MISSES WHILE TURNING ONTO AN INTERSTATE. THIS SEEMS TO AFFECT 2007-2009 MODELS MOSTLY. THE ONLY FIX IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK BECAUSE OF A SENSOR LOCATED ON TOP FOR AROUND 1200 USB. PLEASE SEE THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS BELOW.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER REFUELING, THE VEHICLE ACTS LIKE IT WANTS TO STALL AND HAS STALLED ON SOME OCCASIONS. THIS IS CONCERNING TO ME BECAUSE, I HAVE TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND RESTART IT. I AM AFRAID WHEN THIS HAPPENS THAT SOMEONE BEHIND ME IN TRAFFIC MAY SLAM INTO MY JEEP.. I PUT A RECENT DATE BELOW, BUT IT HAS BEEN ONGOING OFF AND ON SINCE I BOUGHT IT LAST YEAR.
