FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
OUR 2008 JEEP PATRIOT 4 X 4 HAS AT TIMES CUT OFF COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING. WHEN WE WERE GETTING READY TO TAKE IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC, WE HAD AN EVEN SCARIER THING HAPPEN. BOTH REAR WHEELS ARE RUBBING WHEEL WELLS WHICH MEANS SOMETHING HAS RUSTED THROUGH IN THE SUB FRAME OR CONTROL ARMS. WE ARE 25 MILES FROM OUR MECHANIC SO NOW VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE TOWED INTO TOWN TO EVEN BE CHECKED OUT. WE NEED TO FIND OUT IF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR RUST AND CORROSION WILL COVER OUR VEHICLE. THERE ARE CURRENTLY 280,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE WHICH HAS BEEN HEAVILY DRIVEN IN A "SALT BELT" STATE OF MARYLAND FOR WORK DUTIES.

SEATS
THE ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINT HAS FAILED. THE STEEL PIN WHICH HOLDS THE RESTRAINT IN THE CLOSED/SET POSITION TORE THROUGH THE PLASTIC THAT IS DESIGNED TO HOLD IT IN PLACE. THE SYSTEM HAS NOT DEPLOYED, BUT HAS RELEASED BECAUSE OF A MATERIAL FAILURE, AND CAN NOT BE RESET. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, UNOCCUPIED, PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY, ENGINE OFF, AND THE KEY IN THE HOUSE. HAD I BEEN DRIVING WHEN THE PLASTIC FAILED, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE GETTING RANDOMLY PUNCHED IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WHILE MOVING DOWN THE ROAD, CREATING A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I AM CONCERNED THE PASSENGER SEAT COULD HAVE THE SAME FAILURE AND INJURE MY WIFE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
GAS PUMP KEEPS CLICKING OFF WHEN FUELING. MECHANIC TESTED EVAP SYSTEM AND STATED VEHICLE NEEDS A NEW FUEL TANK. THE JEEP HAS 62,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED. THIS IS AN UNUSUAL REPAIR AND IS EXTREMELY HIGH IN COST. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE INCLUDED AND COVERED WITH THE OTHER FUEL TANK RECALLS ON JEEP PATRIOTS.

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ALREADY ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING AT 70 MPH, I NOTICED THAT IT WAS HARDER TO ACCELERATE. I WAS PUSHING DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL AND MY JEEP WAS NOT PICKING UP ANY SPEED. THE TACHOMETER WAS PUSHING THE LINE IN READ BETWEEN 7 & 8 AS I WOULD TRY TO ACCELERATE. COUPLE DAYS LATER DRIVING IN TOWN, IT DID IT AGAIN ONLY IT TOOK AWHILE TO ACCELERATE AND GET TO 30-40 MPH. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO AUTO-ZONE TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED. THEY TOLD ME TO UNPLUG THE BATTERY AND HAVE IT SIT FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS TO SEE IF THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME OFF. WEEK LATER I'M STILL STUCK WITHOUT MY VEHICLE. REPORTED IT TO MOPAR AND THEY ADVISED ME TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVE IT FIXED. MY JEEP ONLY HAS UNDER 90K MILES ON IT. I'M HOPING THIS ISSUE BECOMES A RECALL BEING THAT THE STORIES HAVE BEGUN TO SURFACE LATE NOVEMBER 2018.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, STEERING
WHEN I FILL UP THE CAR WITH GAS AFTER LEAVING AND DRIVING FOR 20-30 SECONDS AND STOP AT THE STOP LIGHT OR SIGN THE CAR WILL DIE AND THE STEERING WHEEL WILL LOCK UP TAKES A COUPLE OF TRIES BEFORE IT WILL START UP AND CAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP I CAN'T EVEN MOVE THE CAR TO THE SIDE IF I HAVE TO. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THE PAST YEAR.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE I AM DRIVING, THE CAR STOPS RUNNING., THE ENGINE CUTS OFF. I HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK OR NEUTRAL TO RESTART THE ENGINE. SOMETIMES IT WILL START UP SOMETIMES I HAVE TO WAIT ON IT TO STARTS. TODAY IT STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET AND IT DID NOT START BACK UP..THE CAR HAD TO BE PUSHED OUT THE STREET. MY JEEP WILL STOP ON THE EXPRESSWAY WHILE DRIVING UP TO SPEED, IT WILL STOP ON RURAL STREETS AND WHILE TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT IT WILL SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURN..THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT ONLY SHUTS DOWN WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR 3 MONTHS.

ENGINE
CAR SHUTS OFF AND LOSES POWER AT VARIOUS SPEEDS 1-65 MILES PER HOUR. WHEN IT LOSES POWER THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT AND YOU BETTER PULL OVER FAST OR YOU WONT BE ABLE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL YOU CAN GET IT TO START BACK UP. SOMETIMES IT TAKES A WHILE TO START BACK UP. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO ME FOR 5 MONTHS NOW'. I'VE TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 2 TIMES AND THEY KEEP TELLING ME NOTHING IS WRONG... I NEVER GOT NOTIFIED OF ANY RECALLS AND THEY DIDNT EVEN INVESTIGATE TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY JEEP PATRIOT THE TWO TIMES I'VE HAD IT IN. I AM NOW HAVING IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE IT WILL NOT DRIVE MORE THAN A FEW FEET WITH CONSTANT SHUT DOWN. IT IS DANGEROUS. THIS HAPPENS AT ALL SPEEDS, UP HILL, DOWN HILL, FLAT, ETC.

POWER TRAIN
THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF EARLY TRANSMISSION FAILURE, EVEN WITH WITH NORMAL SERVICING. ISSUES START WITH A WHINING NOISE, OVERHEAT WARNINGS, AND AN INABILITY TO ACCELERATE. THE MOST COMMON SOLUTION IS REPLACEMENT OF THE TRANSMISSION. LATE 2014 MODEL YEAR PATRIOTS CHANGED TO A NON-CVT TRANSMISSION. AFTER REPLACING ORIGINAL CVT TRANSMISSION FOR $2,500 IT FAILED AGAIN WITHIN 6 MONTHS. THE JEEP IS UNDRIVE-ABLE. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THE CVT TRANSMISSION. MY JEEP IS UNDRIVE-ABLE AND STILL OWE $5900 WHILE IT SITS IN THE DRIVEWAY!! TRANSMISSION SLIPS WHILE DRIVING AND JEEP STALLS MAKING IT EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. INTERNET FORUMS HAVE COUNTLESS COMPALINTS ABOUT THESE CVT TRANSMISSIONS WITH SAME SYMPTOMS!!

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
VEHICLE LOSES POWER AND ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. THIS OCCURED WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 65 MPH. THANKFULLY, I WAS ABLE TO GET VEHICLE TO SIDE OF ROAD. RESTARTED AND AS DRIVING HOME, VEHICLE TRIES TO ACCELARATE ITSELF WHILE CAR IS IDLING. HAD I NOT HAD MY FOOT FIRMLY ON BRAKE, IT WOULD HAVE TAKEN OFF. TOOK IN FOR REPAIRS AND DEALER STATES THAT THROTTLE BODY IS BAD AND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THESE VEHICLES. ADVISED THAT IT WAS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AS VEHICLE CAN LOSE POWER WITHOUT WARNING.
