FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHENEVER I PUT A FULL TANK OF GAS IN MY CAR, MY CAR STALLS OUT. ONE TIME, I JUST LEFT THE GAS STATION AND IT STALLED AND THEN WHEN I WENT TO GET FOOD, IT STALLED OUT AGAIN. I'VE HEARD OF OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE PATRIOTS, IT HAPPENS TO THEM. MY CAR WAS IN DRIVE AND IT ALSO HAPPENED WHEN I WAS STOPPED WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKES. ONE TIME IT HAPPENED WHEN MY PATRIOT WAS IN PARKED. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IF SOMEONE WAS TURNING, THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO SINCE THE WHEEL LOCKS SO YOU CAN'T TURN IT. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS BECAUSE IT COULD BE THE FUEL TANK OR THE GAS CAP FROM WHAT I'VE HEARD AND IT'S NOT JUST ME HAVING THIS ISSUE.

SERVICE BRAKES, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, STEERING
AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS CAR STUMBLES AND DIES AT STOPS FOR ABOUT FIVE MINUTES MINUTES AFTERWARDS. THIS PROCEDURE GOES ON FOR ABOUT TEN MILES ALL I READ SAYS IT IS A SAFETY VALVE ON TOP OFF GAS TANK. ONLY WAY TO FIX IS RELACE THE WHOLE GAS TANK. THIS HAPPENS WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OR JUST SETTING IDLELING. RPM STARTS TO DECREACE AND SMOTHERS PLUM OUT. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED IT HAS DONE THIS EVER SINCE IVE OWNED IT.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY STALLS WHILE DRIVING, FOLLOWING A FILL UP OF THE FUEL TANK. THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF, AND ALL POWER IS LOST, INCLUDING POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. REQUIRES ATTEMPTING TO COAST THE VEHICLE TO A SAFE STOP. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHERE WE WERE ALMOST REAR ENDED DUE TO HAVING TO STOP IN THE ROADWAY. REQUIRES WAITING BRIEFLY, AND THEN THE VEHICLE MAY RESTART, HOWEVER, IT WILL ALSO STALL OUT AGAIN UNTIL THE FUEL LEVEL IN THE TANK DECREASES. IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT THIS IS OCCURRING ON MANY JEEP PATRIOT AND COMPASS MODELS OVER MANY MODEL YEARS.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY 2010 JEEP PATRIOT WAS PURCHASED AT JEEP, DODGE, CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN JAX FL OFF BLANDING BLVD. I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE SINCE MAY 2018 AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE IT IN ALMOST 3 MONTHS DUE TO TRANSMISSION THAT IS TO COSTLY TO FIX. IT BROKE DOWN IN AUGUST 2018, GOT IT FIXED IN OCTOBER 31ST 2018 AND IT BROKE DOWN ON ME AGAIN ON NOVEMBER 3RD 2018. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES BECAUSE ALL THE REPORTS I READ ON THEM ARE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THESE CVT TRANSMISSIONS THAT'S IN THEM. I GOT ANOTHER TRANSMISSION AND IT'S DOING THE SAME THING.

STRUCTURE:BODY, SUSPENSION
AT ANY SPEED THE JEEP IS APT TO START WOBBLING SIDE TO SIDE AFTER DRIVING OVER BUMPS. (FREQUENTLY CALLED THE "DEATH WOBBLE" BY JEEP OWNERS WHEN DESCRIBING THIS CONDITION.) AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THIS MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO STAY IN LANES. THE HOOD HINGES DO NOT HOLD THE HOOD SECURELY DOWN. AT SPEEDS ABOVE 30MPH YOU CAN WITNESS THE HOOD WOBBLING UP AND DOWN AND SIDE TO SIDE. YOU MAY READ ABOUT BOTH OF THESE ISSUES IN DOZENS OF ONLINE FORUMS REGARDING JEEP ISSUES FROM OWNERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY JEEP STALLS AFTER FILLING TANK WITH GAS AND I BELIEVE IT IS A FAULTY VALVE INSIDE THE TANK ITSELF WHICH REQUIRES REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE TANK AND SHOULD BE A RECALL--THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS IT CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO STALL WHILE DRIVING AWAY FROM GAS STATION. SAW THIS ALERT FOR 2012 MODELS BUT IT IS THE SAME ISSUE HTTPS://AUTOWEEK.COM/ARTICLE/CAR-NEWS/2012-JEEP-COMPASS-AND-PATRIOT-BE-RECALLED-FUEL-TANK-PROBLEM#IXZZ5SDMM78OJ

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2010 JEEP PATRIOT AND IT HAS BEEN HAVING RANDOM ISSUES THAT IT TURNS OUT ARE RELATED TO A FAILED TIPM WHICH CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT AND IS NOT ADDRESSING. MY HORN RANDOMLY HONKS, THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY IN A RECENT SMALL ACCIDENT, AND NOW THE CAR WON'T START. ALL OF THESE ITEMS ARE NOTED AS RELATED TO A FAILING TIPM AND ALL CAN BE FOUND ALL OVER THE INTERNET WHEN SEARCHING FOR "2010 JEEP PATRIOT WON'T START". BASED ON THE MOST RECENT PROBLEM (NO STARTING), I REPLACED THE BATTERY AND THE STARTER WITH NO FIX. JEEP SHOULD HAVE TO FIX THIS IF THEY HAVE KNOWN ABOUT IT AND THE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS IMPLICATIONS. RIGHT NOW THE CAR IS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY BECAUSE I HAD TO GET IT TOWED HOME.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
A FEW DAYS AFTER HIITTING A POTHOLE ON A COUNTRY PAVED ROAD, MY PATRIOT LOST WIPERS, HEADLIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS & REAR WIPER. NONE OF THE FUSES WERE DAMAGED OR BLOWN. I HAD THE DEALER RUN DIAGNOSTICS BUT NOTHING SHOWED UP. I HAD THE FUSE BOX & RELAYS REPLACED. IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN WITHOUT WARNING WHILE SITTING STILL & SOMETIMES WHILE IN MOTION. VERY DANGEROUS IN RAIN.
