FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE FUEL TANK AT A GAS STATION AND THEN DRIVE OFF, THE CAR - AFTER BEING IN MOTION WILL UNEXPECTEDLY STALL. IT'S USUALLY ABOUT 20-30 SECONDS AFTER DRIVING AWAY FROM THE GAS STATION THAT THE ENGINE STALLS. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT A STOPLIGHT, ENTERING A BUSY HIGHWAY AND ALSO JUST WAITING IN THE GAS STATION PARKING LOT. THIS IS DANGEROUS!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
TURNING LIGHTS ON IN THE CAR AND THE DASH LIGHTS FLASH 5 - 6 TIMES THEN GO OUT. DOESN'T MATTER IF VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR MOVING WHEN THIS OCCURS.HEADLIGHTS, RADIO & DOME LIGHT STILL WORK AS WELL AS TURN SIGNALS AND 4-WAY FLASHERS. WHEN LIGHTS ARE ON, I DO NOT HAVE ANY RUNNING LIGHTS, TAIL LIGHTS, INTERIOR DASH LIGHTS OR CUP HOLDER LIGHTS. CHECKED ALL FUSES AND ALL CHECKED GOOD. ALL INDICATIONS POINT TO BAD TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM). VEHICLE IS 2 YEARS OLD WITH NO AFTER MARKET WIRING. NOT HAVING RUNNING OR TAIL LIGHTS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE/CONCERN.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE, SO I TOOK IT TO A JEEP MECHANIC. THE FRONT AND REAR CROSSMEMBERS ARE ROTTED TO HELL ON MY 2008 JEEP PATRIOT. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MULTIPLE JEEP DEALERSHIPS THAT HAVE RECOMMENDED IT BE REPLACED, AND JEEP WOULD NOT COVER IT BECAUSE THEY SAID IT HAD TO BE EVEN WORSE. NOW I BELIEVE MY WARRANTY IS EXPIRED AND IT LOOKS AS IF IT IS GOING TO CRUMBLE ANY DAY NOW. I REALLY WISH JEEP WOULD HAVE JUST DID THE RIGHT THING AND SWAPPED IT OUT. IT REALLY MAKES ME NERVOUS AND I AM GOING TO MOST LIKELY HAVE IT REPLACED OUT OF MY POCKET JUST TO REST ASSURED. IT ONLY HAS 93,000 MILES ON IT, I HAVE NEVER SEEN A CAR FALL APART SO FAST.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2014 JEEP PATRIOT LATITUDE FROM MARSHALL DODGE IN CRITTENDEN (WHICH SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN FOR HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE AFTER PURCHASING!) WAS A GREAT CAR FOR THE FIRST LITTLE BIT. I CAN NO LONGER DEPEND ON THIS VEHICLE ON THE INTERSTATE. AT INTERSTATE SPEED (65-70 MPH) THE CAR WILL BEGIN TO MAKE A SQUEAL NOISE AND WITHIN FIVE MINUTES I AM PLAYING LEAP FROG TO GET TO THE EMERGENCY LANE AT MAX SPEED OF (20 MPH) AND THE VEHICLE IS VERY JERKY. WHEN IT DOES THIS ALL FLUIDS IN THE CAR ARE FINE, GIVE IT ABOUT 20 MINUTES AND THE CAR WILL ACT NORMAL, BUT I CANNOT TRUST IT TO GET BACK ON THE INTERSTATE. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR TWO YEARS. I'VE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED IT FROM AND THEIR USELESS EXTENDED WARRANTY AND NOTHING GETS DONE! I HAVE CONTINUALLY BEEN TOLD THEY CANNOT FIND ANY SIGNS VIA COMPUTER IT HAS DONE ANYTHING LIKE THIS OR AFTER KEEPING IT FOR TWO WEEKS DRIVING IT AND LOOKING IT OVER IT HAS NO REASON TO. IT IS BEGINNING TO HAPPEN MORE FREQUENTLY AND AM FRUSTRATED I CAN TRUST MY ORIGINAL VEHICLE (THANKFULLY I DIDN'T TRADE IT IN TO THAT CROOKED DEALERSHIP) THAT HAS ALMOST 200,000 MILES ON IT, A 2004 SCION TC, MORE THAN A VEHICLE I BOUGHT BRAND NEW THAT STARTED BECOMING UNRELIABLE WITH 36,000 MILES ON IT. I FEEL LIKE I BOUGHT A LEMON AND THE DEALERSHIP DOESN'T WANT TO FIX IT. THIS VEHICLE CANNOT BE TRUSTED TO GET TO A TO B AND I FEEL LIKE I AM GETTING SCREWED BY MY JEEP DEALERSHIP AND JEEP. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS, THE MORE I RESEARCH THE MORE COMMON IT IS; OR JEEP SHOULD HAVE TO MAKE THESE VEHICLES RIGHT, BECAUSE THEY ARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT ON THE INTERSTATE! IF IT IS NEVER MADE RIGHT YOU CAN BET I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER JEEP PRODUCT AND I WILL BE SURE LET MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS KNOW JUST HOW DANGEROUS THEY ARE!

ENGINE
AFTER REFUELING MY CAR, THE ENGINE WILL STUTTER OR STALL AT THE FIRST STOP OR AT LEAVING THE GAS STATION IF THE VEHICLE IS GOING LESS THAN 40 MILES PER HOURS. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON MORE THAN 10 OCCASIONS, WITH THE LAST ONE BEGINNING AT THE STOPLIGHT BEFORE TURNING ON TO THE FREEWAY. THIS IS A VERY STRESSFUL SITUATION AS IT COULD EASILY CAUSE A CRASH DUE TO THE ENGINE FAILING UNEXPECTEDLY.

AIR BAGS
MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK TO JEEP DELEARSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT EVEN AFTER THE REPAIR, THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT THE AIRBAG WOULD DEPLOY. THEY PREFORMED THE REPAIR BUT THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS STILL ON. THEY SAID I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR SOME REWIRING IN THE DRIVER SEAT WHICH WOULD COST ABOUT $300. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE AIRBAG WILL JUST DEPLOY SPONTANEOUSLY OR NOT DEPLOY IN A COLLISION. WILL YOU PLEASE ADVISE ME WHAT IS SUPPOSE TO HAPPEN AFTER THIS RECALL AND WHAT I SHOULD EXPECT. THANKS.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
DRIVING ON A 55MPH HIGHWAY AT 55MPH AND ACCELERATION DISCONTINUED . I NOTICED ETC WARNING LIGHT WAS ON , CAR WOULD NOT THROTTLE PROPERLY I PULLED OFF ROAD ONTO EMERGENCY LANE. I COULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED BUT FORTUNATELY WAS NOT. LOOKED IN MANUAL, RETURNED HOME WITHIN 6 MILES AT ABOUT 30MPH ON 55MPH ROAD . CALLED CHRYSLER DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO LESS THAN 60,000 MILES IT COULD BE TOWED THERE FREE. THEY STATED I NEEDED A NEW THROTTLE BODY BUT NOT UNDER WARRANTY. WHY WOULD A MAJOR PART NEED REPLACED AT SUCH LOW MILEAGE.

SERVICE BRAKES, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, STEERING
AFTER REFUELING THE PATRIOT I DROVE APPROXIMATELY 1/4 MILE AND THE VEHICLE BUCKED, SHUDDERED AND SHUT OFF. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED IN PLACE AND SINCE THERE WAS NO VACUUM PRESSURE THE BREAKS WE'RE NOT VERY EFFECTIVE. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AFTER PUTTING IT IN NUETRAL WHILE ON THE ENTRANCE RAMP TO AN INTERSTATE. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAD HAPPENED AND UNTIL NOW I DID NOT KNOW THEY INCIDENTS WERE CONNECTED. THE FIRST TIME IT OCCURRED I HAD JUST REFUELED AND WAS PULLING UP AT A STOP LIGHT AND IT TURNED OFF WHILE I WAS STOPPING FOR THE LIGHT.

AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WOK IN A JEEP PATRIOT 2017 ON A CITY STREET THE BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK SUDDENLY AND THE SPEED INCREASED RAPIDLY UNCONTROLLABLY. TWO VEHICLES HIT ME GOING THRU AN INTERSECTION AND THE JEEP PATRIOT VEHICLE RAN INTO A WAREHOUSE GOING THRU 2 METAL DOORS AND A BRICK WALL WITHOUT ANY AIR BAGS DEPLOYING. THE JEEP PATRIOT COMPLETELY WENT INTO THE WAREHOUSE AND WAS STOPPED BY HITTING A LARGE PILLAR.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
STARTING IN THE SUMMER OF 2014 THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW WOULD WORK INTERMITTENTLY JULY 15, 2016 WHILE DRIVING I SMELT SOMETHING BURNING. LOOKED BEHIND ME AND THE BACKSEAT WAS FILLED WITH SMOKE! PULLED OVER AND CALLED 911. FIREFIGHTERS DETERMINED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW HAD SHORT CIRCUITED. WHEN I TURNED OFF THE CAR IT HAD STOPPED THE WIRES FROM BURNING. THE FIREFIGHTERS DISCONNECTED THE WIRES AND I CAREFULLY CONTINUED ON MY WAY. DURING THIS TIME I ALSO HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE DOOR LOCKS CONSTANTLY LOCKING AND UNLOCKING, EVEN WHEN NO ONE WAS IN THE CAR. ALSO, THE HORN AND STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS, SUCH AS THE CRUISE CONTROL AND RADIO CONTROLS, WENT OUT. I JEEP ABOUT THE FIRE/SMOKE AND ALSO TOLD THEM ABOUT THE OTHER ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS I WAS HAVING. I MET WITH A CHRYSLER INSPECTOR AT A LOCAL DEALERSHIP. SHORTLY AFTER I RECEIVED A LETTER STATING THAT THEY WERE NOT AT FAULT FOR THE ISSUES HAPPENING WITH MY PATRIOT. .

SO FOR THE LAST MONTH OR TWO MY WIFE 2014 JEEP PATRIOT HAS HAD THE ECT LIGHT COME ON ALONG WITH OTHERS WITH T LIKE THE TC AND CHECK ENGINE AND WHATS HAPPENING IS ITS BASICALLY LOSING POWER RANDOMLY AND WHEN IT START IT DOESN'T GO AWAY YOU CAN EVEN GET THE VEHICLE OVER 10 MPH I PERSONALLY HAVE READY A BUNCH OF THESE SAME COMPLAINTS ON HERE AND OTHER FORUM AND THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON IT FROM WHAT I'VE HEARD THEIR IS A ISSUE WITH THE THROTTLE BODY.
