UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE DRIVERS SIDE FLOOR MAT IS HOOKED BY ONE HOOK WHICH CAUSES THE FLOOR MAT TO SLIDE AROUND AND POTENTIALLY GET JAMMED UNDER THE ACCELERATOR AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD. IT DOES NOT STAY IN PLACE BECAUSE OF THE PHYSICS OF ONE HOOK RATHER THAN TWO. OTHER YEARS MODELS HAVE TWO HOOKS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN IDLE, VEHICLE'S ENGINE LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL, AND ELECTRONIC THROTTLE LIGHT COME ON TO THE DASH. WHEN PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE OR REVERSE, ACCELERATION IS VERY LOW. VEHICLE HAS A DIFFICULT TIME ACCELERATING. MAX SPEED WILL BE AT ABOUT 30 MPH. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING, AS WELL. BATTERY WAS REPLACED AND THROTTLE BODY AS WELL, VIA MECHANIC'S CODE READINGS FROM THE VEHICLE. CAR CONTINUES TO SHOW WEEK ACCELERATING.

POWER TRAIN
WHEN ACCELERATING ON THE HIGHWAY THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO "LOCK" UP, PREVENTING THE GEARS FROM SHIFTING AND CAUSING THE ENGINE TO OVER-REV. SINCE THE GEARS DON'T SHIFT, THE VEHICLE IS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. THIS IS THE SECOND JEEP PATRIOT I HAVE OWNED AND THE SECOND ONE THAT HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM. THE ISSUE IN THE FIRST WOULD CAUSE THE TRANSMISSION TO OVER HEAT AND EVENTUALLY THE VEHICLE WOULD SLOW TO A CRAWL. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE HIGHWAY DRIVING, WITH AN INFANT. WE WERE FORCED TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF A BUSY HIGHWAY TO WAIT FOR IT TO COOL DOWN. THIS HAPPENED ONLY 2 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE 2013 JEEP PATRIOT AND THE DEALER AGREED TO TRADE THE VEHICLE BACK AND I WAS STUCK WITH THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL WHICH NOW IS EXHIBITING SIMILAR PROBLEMS. I AM CONCERNED THAT THEY MAY REACH A SIMILAR POINT AND I NOW NEED MY VEHICLE FOR HIGHWAY TRAVEL ON A REGULAR BASIS. I OBTAINED THE 2012 JEEP PATRIOT IN AUGUST OF 2016 AND DID NOT NOTICE ANY ISSUES UNTIL FEBRUARY 2018 AND NOW IT HAPPENS ON A DAILY BASIS ON MY COMMUTE TO AND FROM WORK.

MY SON JUST CALLED ME AND THIS IS THE SECOND VALVE STEM WHICH HAS BROKEN OFF, ENDING UP WITH A FLAT TIRE. HE WAS ATTEMPTING TO UNSCREW THE VALVE STEM CAP WHEN THE STEM BROKE OFF AND THE TIRE WENT FLAT. THE FIRST ONE WHICH BROKE, SIMILAR SITUATION, APPEARED TO HAVE DEFECTIVE METAL OR FLAW. I BELIEVE THIS COMPONENT SHOULD LAST THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE (UNLESS DAMAGAE THROUGH AN ACCIDENT OR SIMILAR).

AS I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THE CAR SHUTS OFF. I AM UNABLE TO ACCELERATE AND HAVE NO POWER STEERING. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WITH SPEEDS ANYWHERE FROM 2 MPH TO 70 MPH. ONCE HAPPENED WHILE PULLING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, AND ON SECONDARY ROADS. AT FIRST I COULD JUST PULL OFF THE ROAD, TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN. IT WOULD START RIGHT UP. THE LAST FEW TIMES, I HAD TO WAIT FOR A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME SITTING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BEFORE IT WOULD START. ONE INSTANCE I WAS UNABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD DUE TO BEING ON A HILL AND NOT DRIVING VERY FAST. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START RIGHT AWAY. I WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND A CAR ALMOST HIT ME FROM BEHIND. VERY SCARY! I HAVE THE VEHICLE IN THE SHOP NOW WITH NO LUCK SO FAR AS TO THE PROBLEM.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER I FILL MY GAS TANK OFF AND DRIVE, THE CAR WILL STALL AND SHUT OFF. AND STEERING LOCKS UP. ALMOST BEEN IN SERVAL ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. OTHER PEOPLE HAVE FILED ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE. SOME PEOPLE SAY ITS THE VAPOR/LIQUID SEPARATOR VALVE. NOT SURE, BUT REGARDLESS, THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED BECAUSE OF IT. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND ALL THEY TELL ME IS THAT I NEED TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK AT MY COST.

AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE:BODY, WHEELS
I START HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY AIRBAG IN MY JEEP LAST YEAR. I TOOK MY JEEP INTO MY LOCAL JEEP DEALER LAST YEAR. THE DEAL STATED THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG. THE DEAL THAT I'M HAVING IS THAT SOMETIMES THE LIGHT WILL COME ON AND OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND I SEE THAT THEIR IS A RECALL ON THIS NAME BRAND AIRBAG FOR THIS VEHICLE. I'M ASKING COULD YOU PLEASE ADD MY VEHICLE VIN NUMBER TO YOUR RECALL LIST THANK YOU.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER REFUELING MY PATRIOT, THE CAR WILL SPUTTER, LURCH, AND OCCASIONALLY STALL. THE SYMPTOMS ONLY OCCUR AFTER REFUELING WITHIN THE FIRST FEW MILES AND THEN BECOMES A NONISSUE UNTIL I REFUEL AGAIN. I HADN'T HAD ANY ISSUE OVER THE PAST COUPLE REFUELINGS AND THIS EVENING (3/6/2018) THE PROBLEM RESURFACED AS I ENTERED TRAFFIC AND MY CAR STALLED AND STEERING LOST. I ENDED UP STRADDLING THE CENTER TURN LANE WITH A PORTION OF THE CAR HANGING IN THE LEFT LANE OF BOTH TRAFFIC DIRECTIONS. I WAS ABLE TO FINALLY GET IT RESTARTED AND REPOSITIONED SO IT NO LONGER WAS AN OBSTACLE. AFTER ENTERING TRAFFIC AGAIN, IT STALLED ONE MORE TIME WITHIN A MILE AND THEN OPERATED WITHOUT INCIDENT. THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED ON AND OFF OVER 8 MONTHS BUT HAD NOT PREVIOUSLY RESULTED IN HAZARDOUS ROAD CONDITIONS FOR MYSELF AND OTHERS. IN REVIEWING FORUMS FOR CHRYSLER/JEEP OWNERS, THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE WITH FCA VEHICLES.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MUCH AS WE DISCOVERED WITH OTHER COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM THE ISSUE IS THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE IS FUELED UP EVEN IF YOU STOP WHEN THE GAS DISPENSER CLICKS OFF THE CAR INEVITABLY STALLS AND SHUTS OFF JUST A FEW MINUTES AFTER THE CAR IS STARTED AND IN MOTION. THE STALLING CAN OCCUR WHEN YOU GET OUT INTO TRAFFIC, ON HIGHWAY, CITY STREET WHICH CAN BE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THIS HAS HAPPENED 20 TIMES, AT LEAST, IN OUR 2007 JEEP PATRIOT SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IN OCTOBER 2017. THIS HAS BEEN A VERY WELL DOCUMENTED ISSUE IN THE 2007 JEEP PATRIOTS AND APPARENTLY HAS TO DO WITH THE CHARCOAL CANISTER WHICH IN ORDER TO FIX, THE ENTIRE GAS TANK HAS TO BE REPLACED.
