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 .

STRUCTURE:BODY
IN THE CITY OF KALAMAZOO MICHIGAN, I WAS DRIVING AND MADE IT OVER A CHUNK OF ICE(THE ICE BUILD UP FROM THE PLOW TRUCKS.) IT WAS SIMILAR TO THE WAY TAKING A SPEED BUMP TO FAST WOULD FEEL. WHILE I WAS GOING NO MORE THAN 30MPH OVER THIS CHUNK/BUMP WHEN I HEARD A LOUD CRACK THAT DID NOT SOUND GOOD AND AFTER THAT MY VEHICLE COULD NOT STEER BECAUSE THE ENGINE CRADLE WAS RUSTED THROUGH MAKING IT VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE BEFORE I HAD TO PULL OVER.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
MECHANIC INSPECTED AS PART OF POTENTIALLY BUYING THE VEHICLE. I HAD EXPRESSED CONCERN OVER HOW IT WAS DRIVING. BALL JOINT IS BAD. I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND SAW A LOT OF ISSUES WITH THIS AND WAS HOPING THAT A SAFETY RECALL WAS IN PLACE FOR IT! (I DID FIND A WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR THE SUBFRAME, AND IT IS STILL GOOD -- SO IT MIGHT BE WORTH BUYING IF SAFETY ISSUES ARE FIXED.)

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
GAS TANK CANNOT BE FILLED UP ALL THE WAY AS THE CAR STALLS AND TURNS OFF IN LESS THEN A MILE. THE CAR HAS NO ACCELERATION MORE THEN 20MHP AND TAKES A LONG TIME IN GAINING SPEED WHEN TRYING TO TAKE OFF AFTER A STOP AND WHEN CHANGING LANES. CAR LACKS POWER WHEN DRIVING ON HIGHWAYS, CREATING TRAFFIC AND PANIC IN THE DRIVER. CAR IS A HAZARD ON THE ROAD AND MECHANICS ARE AWARE BUT NO ONE SEEMS TO FIND THE ISSUE AND CORRECT.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, STEERING
WHEN I FILL THE GAS TANK ALL THE WAY, THE JEEP STALLS SHORTLY AFTERWARD. THAT TURNS OFF THE POWER STEERING. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS. POTENTIALLY DEADLY IF IT HAPPENS WHILE CORNERING AT HIGHER SPEEDS. FORUMS ONLINE ARE SAYING THAT IT'S A MANUFACTURER FLAW IN THE ROLLOVER VALVE INSIDE THE GAS TANK, AND THAT THE ONLY WAY TO FIX IT, IS TO REPLACE THE TANK. THAT IS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR. THE FORUMS INDICATE THAT IT IS BECOMING A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT JEEP SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS DANGEROUS FACTORY FLAW AND PAY FOR THE REPAIRS.

POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY I NOTICED A WHINING NOISE AND LOSING POWER GOING UP A HILL I WAS ABLE TO GET HOME AND TO MY MECHANIC. AFTER CHECKING THE TRANSMISSION HE FOUND METAL FILINGS IN IT AND SAID I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED IN HEARING THIS AS THE JEEP ONLY HAS ABOUT 68000 MILES ON IT. I CONTACTED THE JEEP DEALER IN SCRANTON PA AND WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I CONTACTED DIFFERENT TRANSMISSION GARAGES AND WAS QUOTED PRICES FROM OVER $3000 TO $6000. READING ABOUT OTHER PEOPLES PROBLEMS WITH JEEP VEHICLES THIS SEEMS LIKE A BIG ONGOING PROBLEM WITH JEEP TRANSMISSIONS.I HOPE YOUR AGENCY CAN HELP US OUT SO WE CAN GET SOME SATISFACTION FROM JEEP.

SUSPENSION
WE HAD THE FRONT CONTROLS ARMS AND REAR TOE LINKS REPLACED IN NOVEMBER 2018. UPON GOING TO PURCHASE NEW TIRES, THE LF LOWER CONTROL ARM W/BALL JOINT WERE FOUND TO BE DEFECTIVE AND UNSAFE...WE HAD THEM REPLACED IMMEDIATELY FOR SAFETY REASONS AS THE CAR IS DRIVEN HUNDREDS OF MILES A WEEK AND USED 6 DAYS A WEEK AND COULDN'T WAIT UNTIL AN APPOINTMENT COULD BE MADE AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP THAT REPLACED IT ORIGINALLY. WE WERE TOLD IF THE DEALERSHIP HAD DONE THE REPAIRS/REPLACEMENT THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO CHARGE BECAUSE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRENTY....WE ARE SEEKING A REFUND FOR THE PARTS UNDER THE WARRENTY ONLY...NOT THE ENTIRE BILL WHICH INCLUDED THE COST OF 2 NEW TIRES THAT WERE A ROUTINE PURCHASE....THE INVOICE IS ATTACHED WITH THE CURRENT WORK, THE ORIGINAL WARRENTY WORK AND THE AMOUNT OF $316.93 IS WHAT WE'RE SEEKING TO BE REIMBURSED FOR., NOT THE TOTAL OF $811.34---THE INVOICE IS BROKEN OUT FOR YOUR REVIEW.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
EVERY TIME THAT I FILL THE FUEL TANK, MY JEEP STALLS ONE TO THREE TIMES WITHIN THE FIRST COUPLE MILES. THIS CAN HAPPEN AT A STOP LIGHT, DRIVING OUT OF A PARKING LOT, OR WHILE MAKING A LOW SPEED TURN. I HAVEN'T BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS ISSUE YET, BUT THERE HAVE BEEN CLOSE CALLS TO DATE. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC TO GET THE ISSUE DIAGNOSED AND I WAS INFORMED THAT IT IS DUE TO A FAULTY ROLL OVER VALVE LOCATED ON TOP OF THE FUEL TANK. THE ONLY WAY TO CORRECT THE ISSUE IS TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK WHICH IS VERY COSTLY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS DRIVING MY CAR FROM WORK AND THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON AND WAS UNSTEADY, THE RED LIGHT ALSO CAME ON BUT I DID NOT STOP. UPON ARRIVING HOME THERE WAS BEEPING SOUNDS BUT I HAD MY KEY AND LIGHTS OFF. I PROCEEDED TO THE HOUSE AND THE FOLLOWING MORNING THE CAR WONT START, TRIED JUMP STARTING TO NO AVAIL. CONTACTED JEEP DEALERSHIP AND THE SAID IT WAS WIRELESS IGNITION MODULE AND A NEW KEY NEEDED. I HAVE ALSO SEEN HUNDREDS OF OTHER DRIVERS COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUE. TWO DAYS AGO THE CAR COULD NOT ENGAGE GEAR AND WAS LEFT SHAKING AND AFTER SHIFTING TO A LOWER GEAR IT GAINED CONTROL.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I'VE MADE A COMPLAINT ALREADY BUT MY 2010 JEEP PATRIOT AGAIN STALLED OUT AFTER GETTING A FULL TANK OF GAS AND DRIVING OFF, LUCKILY STILL AT THE GAS STATION AND WHEN I WAS GETTING COFFEE FOR MY 3 AND A HALF HOUR DRIVE TO SCHOOL, IT STALLED OUT 3 MORE TIMES WHEN I AM IN DRIVE. I WAS SCARED IT WAS GOING TO STALL OUT ON ME WHILE I'M DRIVING FOR THE WHOLE DRIVE. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL IS LOCKED AND WHAT IF IT HAPPENED WHEN I AM ON THE ROAD AND THERE IS A CAR BEHIND ME? I COULD GET REAR ENDED. MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE PATRIOT.
