2008 Jeep Patriot 4x4

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP PATRIOT 4X4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A STATE INSPECTION SITE, BUT FAILED DUE TO SEVERE RUST OF THE SUBFRAME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JIM SHORKEY NORTH HILLS CHRYSLER JEEP (7670 MCKNIGHT RD, PITTSBURGH, PA 15237) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SEVERELY RUSTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 136,000.

I FILLED UP THE JEEP WITH GAS WHILE STATIONARY AND OFF. I TURNED ON THE JEEP AND THE ENGINE TURNED OVER FINE. I STOPPED AT THE STOP SIGN WHILE EXITING THE GAS STATION, AND THE ENGINE STALLED AND THE WHEEL LOCKED. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP. THE ENGINE STALLS FOR SEVERAL DAYS AFTER FILL UP ANYTIME I COME TO A FULL STOP. THANKFULLY, I HAVE YET TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT BUT, I NO LONGER FEEL CONFIDENT THAT THIS VEHICLE WILL REMAIN RELIABLE. THIS MALFUNCTION COULD CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS OR THE INABILITY TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY IN AN EMERGENCY.

IN AUGUST OF 2018 I HAVE MY CAR IN THE DEALERSHIP GETTING A REAR WHEEL BEARING, CV AXLE CHANGED OUT. THIS YEAR I HAD IT IN THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN FOR THE SAME ISSUE BUT DIFFERENT REAR WHEEL BEARING. DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THEN THAT MY VEHICLE CROSS MEMBERS & SUB FRAME IN BOTH FRONT & REAR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND QUOTED ME ACCORDINGLY. I FEEL THAT THE SUB FRAMES & CROSS MEMBERS HAVE BEEN RUSTY SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED FROM THIS DEALERSHIP IN 2015. WHEN I FOUND INFORMATION ON THE X69 EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS EXACT RUST ISSUE, I FEEL THAT I HAVE BEEN TAKEN A FOOL THAT THE DEALERSHIP NEGLECTED TO ALERT ME IN 2018 WHEN MY WARRANTY EXPIRED AT THE END OF THE YEAR, JUST TO BRING IT UP AGAIN IN 2019 TO MAKE A BUCK. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AS WELL (6-3-19). THEY FEIGNED THEIR VIP SYSTEM WAS DOWN AND COULDN'T LOOK UP DEALERSHIP INFO??? THEY SAID THEY WOULD CALL ME BACK AND EVEN HAD MY CONTACT INFORMATION ON HAND (HOW CAN THEY HAVE THAT INFO JUST FROM ME NAME OR VIN?) CHRYSLER STILL HASN'T CALLED ME BACK. I AM PISSED ABOUT THIS.

PURCHASED VEHICLE IN DECEMBER, COMPLAINED OF LOOSE STEERING FROM DAY 1 NICELY, INSPECTION STICKER WAS PUT ON THROUGH DEALERSHIPS MECHANIC WHICH I LATER DISCOVERED WAS ON LOCAL NEWS FOR INVESTIGATION OF FRAUD LIKE ACTIVITY, REACHED OUT TO CREDIT ACCEPTANCE, NO RESULTS, LATER DISCOVERED THEY HAVE PAST LAWSUITS, INVESTIGATIONS, COURT RULINGS AGAINST THEM, AS WELL AS DEALERSHIP HAVING MULTIPLE BUSINESS CLAIMS IN MA/NH, I PROCEEDED TO BRING MY CASE TO THE BBB, DISTRICT ATTORNEY AS WELL, TWO WRITTEN ESTIMATES OF VEHICLE NOT BEING SAFE, STILL HAVE ONE OF TWO BALD TIRES FOR EVIDENCE IN MY POSSESSION, PICTURES OF 5 SAFETY LIGHTS ON TO DATE, I HAVE SPENT AT LEAST 500.00 ADDITIONAL REPAIRS, VEHICLE MONTHLY PAYMENT, INSURANCE, INITIAL DEPOSIT AND TRADE IN, I AM A STRUGGLING SOLE PARENT/PROVIDER THAT WAS TIRED OF DEALING WITH MY PRIOR VEHICLE, I HAVE RESEARCH TO PRESENT MY CASE INCLUDING LEMON LAW SUPPORT, LOAN COMPANY ON PROBATION IN NY AND ONE OTHER STATE, I DESPERATELY NEED ASSISTANCE IN THIS CIRCUMSTANCE AS I AM EMPLOYED WITH AMAZON FLEX SUBCONTRACTING AND NEEDING RELIABILITY, I STRUGGLE WITH WRITING SO HOPEFULLY THIS MESSAGE IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHY MANUFACTURERS SHOULD BE LEARNING FROM THEIR MISTAKES, NOT KEEPING HORRIBLY DANGEROUS VEHICLES FOR RESALE, AND I'M GOING TO END THIS NOTE BY GIVING ADDITIONAL INPUT ON HOW UNFAIR IT IS THAT MOPAR WAS FINED 1.7 BILLION DOLLARS, THIS VEHICLE IS VIBRATING WHEN I GET TO 40MPH, MAKING WHISTLING NOISE AT ALL SPEEDS, 5 SAFETY LIGHTS, ELECTRICAL SYSTE

JEEP STALLS AND LOCKS WHEN GAS TANK IS FILLED. HAS HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF FAST MOVING TRAFFIC A FEW TIMES WITH MY BABIES IN THE CAR. VERY DANGEROUS!

AFTER REFUELING THE CAR TO HAVING A FULL TANK OF GAS, A SHORT DISTANCE LATER - USUALLY LESS THAN ONE MILE - THE CAR SUFFERS A SEVERE HESITATION AND ONCE STALLED COMPLETELY. THE VEHICLE IS ALWAYS IN MOTION AND ON A CITY STREET USUALLY DRIVING STRAIGHT. IT HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES, TODAY BEING THE MOST RECENT.

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.

AFTER FILLING UP GAS THE CAR TURNS OFF ENGINE THEN START IT UP AND TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING. VERY DANGEROUS THERE HAS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS???!!! PLEASE I AM NOT SAFE DRIVING THIS. I JUST BOUGHT THIS JEEP A QEEK AGO. THIS HAPPENED 2X ALREADY.

MY VEHICLE WILL SOMETIMES NOT GO WHEN I PRESS THE GAS. THE BRAKES DON'T PROPERLY WORK, THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE LOCK FAILS, THE ESP LIGHT FLASHES, THE TRACTION CONTROL FAILS, AND IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE OVER 5 MILES AN HOUR. I HAVE YET TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT, BUT I FEAR IT MAY HAPPEN. IT HAPPENS IMMEDIATELY AFTER STARTING TO DRIVE, AND DOESN'T ALWAYS CORRECT ITSELF. I CONTACTED JEEP AND THEY TOLD ME I'M ON MY OWN. IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES AND WONDER WHY THEY HAVEN'T RECALLED THEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I FEAR I'M STUCK WITH A LEMON VEHICLE, BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION HAS ALREADY BEEN REPLACED AND I'VE ONLY BEEN IN POSSESSION OF THE VEHICLE FOR 10 MONTHS. WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS MOVING FORWARD?

AFTER REFUELING MY VEHICLE, SHORTLY THEREAFTER (WITHIN A FEW MINUTES) MY 2008 JEEP PATRIOT STALLS WHEN IDELING OR TRAVELING AT LOWER SPEEDS. MOST RECENTLY THE STALL HAPPENED WHEN MERGING ONTO A MAIN ROAD AND COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THIS IS A VERY COMMON OCCURRENCE IN 2008 JEEP PATRIOTS AND NEEDS TO ADDRESSED SOONER RATHER THAN LATER. MOST REMEDIES SEEM TO BE A REP LAMENT OF THE FUEL TANK AND VAPOR CANISTER.

AFTER FUELING THE JEEP IT STALLS WHEN THE NEXT IDLE OR TWO OCCURS. FOR EXAMPLE, AFTER FUELING, THE JEEP IS DRIVEN AND STALLS AT THE FIRST STOP LIGHT. SOMETIMES IT OCCURS WHEN TRYING TO PULL AWAY FROM THE GAS STATION. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AS THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND YOU HAVE TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND RESTART IT IN TRAFFIC. IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN FUELING THE TANK TO FULL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC FROM THE GAS STATION. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE TANK IS FILLED UP.

MY 2008 JEEP PATRIOT KEEPS STALLING AND IS GREAT MECHANICAL CONDITION .THE CAR KEEPS STALLING WHILE IN PARK AND DRIVING WITHOUT WARNING WHICH IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION.HAVE MECHANIC TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT AND HE CAN'T .SEEN OTHER PEOPLE WITH SAME PROBLEMS BUT NO ANSWERS. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THIS ISSUE.

ENGINE STALLS AFTER FUELING TANK. DURING ACCELERATION OUT OF GAS STATION, CAR JERKS AS IT SEEMS THE AIR/FUEL RATIO IS MESSED UP. CAR STALLS WHEN SITTING AT LIGHT OR WITHIN A COUPLE MILES FROM THE STATION AT IDLE SPEED. I'VE RESORTED TO SHIFTING NEUTRAL AND REVVING ENGINE HIGHER TO COUNTERACT THE STALL. ONE INSTANCE WAS KNOCKING/ATTEMPTING TO STALL SHORTLY AFTER PULLING FROM GAS STATION, THEN OPERATED FINE ON HIGHWAY, BUT WHEN EXITING THE JEEP STALLED AND LOST ALL POWER TO THE SYSTEM (POWER STEERING AND BRAKE BOOSTER). WAITED A MINUTE AT LIGHT, THEN RESTARTED AND RAN FINE. DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THERE LIKELY IS A PROBLEM WITH THE VALVE TO THE VAPOR CANISTER AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE IS LIQUID FUEL GETTING IN. HE HAD A PROMPT ANSWER FOR ME, SO IT SEEMS AS IF HE'S ANSWERED THE QUESTION BEFORE WITH OTHER OWNERS.

AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WITHIN A MILE WHEN IDLING. IT DOES IT AT RED LIGHTS AND AT LOW SPEEDS.

EVERYTIME RIGHT AFTER I FILL UP MY 2008 JEEP PATRIOT (CAR IS SHUT OFF WHILE FUELING) THE JEEP EITHER BUCKS ME BACK AND FORTH LIKE IT'S A MANUAL GETTING STUCK BETWEEN GEARS FOR ABOUT 1 MINUTE (IT'S AN AUTOMATIC) OR IT STALLS AND DIES (CAR SHUTS OFF). SO FAR WHEN THE JEEP DIES IT HAS TURNED BACK ON.. THIS HAPPENS NORMALLY UNDER A HALF MILE AFTER THE JEEP HAS BEEN FILLED UP WITH GAS TO THE FILL MARK. THE CAR IS IN MOTION WHEN THIS OCCURS AND IT USUALLY OCCURS ON CITY STREETS SEEING AS MOST GAS STATIONS ARE IN TOWN, BUT THIS HAS OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS AT A STATION LOCATED RIGHT OFF OF THE HIGHWAY.

WHENEVER WE FILL UP THE GAS TANK ON THE JEEP, THE JEEP WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD. THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IS YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN IT WILL STALL AFTER FILLING THE TANK BUT IT DEFINITELY WILL STALL. TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING, WE NO LONGER FILL THE TANK ALL THE WAY. THIS HAPPENED ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION BUT I WILL PUT DOWN THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED BECAUSE MY DAUGHTER FORGOT THAT SHE'S NOT SUPPOSED TO FILL THE JEEP ALL THE WAY TO FULL.

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.

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!

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.

MY AIRBAG HAS BEEN ON FOR ABOUT A MONTH NOW AND I CALLED THE JEEP DEALERSHIP CLOSEST TO ME AND THEY SAID THAT MINE SPECIFICALLY IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BE PAYING HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS WHEN MORE THAN ONE MODEL IS AFFECTED AND I HAVE NOT GOTTEN IT FIXED YET DUE TO NOT HAVING THE FUNDS. IT GOES ON AND OFF THROUGHOUT THE DRIVE. IT WILL ALWAYS COME ON WHEN I START THE JEEP AND THEN SOMETIMES IT FLASHES ON AND OFF AND THEN GOES OFF FOR A MILE AND COMES BACK ON.THE CODE COMING UP ON OUR READER IS A BAD SPRING.

2008 JEEP PATRIOT STALLS SHORTLY AFTER FILLING UP THE FUEL TANK. BOUGHT IT USED, AND ON THE FIRST FILL UP, GOT ABOUT .5 MILES BEFORE ENGINE STALLED. ON MY SECOND FILL UP, ON DECEMBER 29, 2017, IT STALLED AGAIN AFTER FILLING THE FUEL TANK AND DRIVING IN MODERATE TRAFFIC. AGAIN AT APPROXIMATELY .5 MILES. THIS WAS MORE SERIOUS AS IT WAS IN TRAFFIC AND COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. THIS WAS MORE A CONCERN FOR ME AS MY FAMILY WAS IN THE VEHICLE AS WELL.

THIS PAST MONTH OF DECEMBER '17 MY 08 JEEP PATRIOT 4X4 WITH ONLY 70,000 MILEAGE HAD 3 REPAIRS USING DEALER PARTS ONLY. [XXX] E-MAIL [XXX] PHONE [XXX] 1. REPLACED FUEL TANK. COULD NOT PUMP GAS INTO IT DUE TO VENTING ISSUE. REPLACED WITH DEALER TANK. VENT HOSES WOULD NOT ALLOW AIR PASSAGE. $800 2. REPLACED ABS EPS SYSTEM. $1,300 3. REPLACED ALTERNATOR. $400 NO RECALL ALTHOUGH SIGNIFICANT SIMILAR PROBLEMS NOTED ON LINE WITH JEEP PRODUCT. PLEASE HELP! HAD TO COMPLETE REPAIRS TO AVOID BEING STRANDED. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'*JB

GAS TANK: HE PROBLEM IS FROM THE FUEL TANK ROLLOVER VALVE. YOU CAN ONLY PUMP $5-10 WORTH OF GAS. KEEPS STOPPING AND DOESN'T ALLOW YOU TO CONTINUOUSLY PUMP FUEL INTO THE TANK

VEHICLE BUCKING AND STALLING AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS.

GAS PUMP WILL EITHER CUT OFF WAY PREMATURELY OR WILL OVERFLOW. TURNED OUT TO BE A BAD CHECK VALVE.

AFTER FUELING UP JEEP, AND DRIVE FOR LESS THAN A MILE JEEP SHUTS OFF I HAVE TO STOP AND RESTART THE JEEP. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FUEL UP THE JEEP, WENT TO DEALERSHIP AND PAID TO HAVE FUEL INJECTION CLEANED AFTER A TWO DAYS FUELED THE JEEP PROBLEM CONTINUES.

HAVE HAD MY JEEP FOR 6 YEARS ITS ALWAYS STALLING I TOOK IT TO JEEP CHRYSLER DODGE, FIRESTONE NOBODY CAN FIGURE OUT WHATS WRONG; IT ACTUALLY TURNS ITSELF OFF AND NOBODY KNOWS WHY. THIS IS DANGEROUS THIS CAR NEEDS A RECALL. I HAVE READ THAT 2012 MODELS DO THIS SAME THING BUT THIS ONE DOES IT TOO.ALSO THE SUNROOF LEAKS AS WELL AND THE RAINWATER GOES INTO THE LIGHTS. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND A JEEP TO ANYBODY EVER AGAIN, THESE CARS ARE NOT SAFE AND NO ONE CARES ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.I HAVE PAID TO GET IT LOOKED AT BUT THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT, I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT PROBABLY NEEDS A SYSTEM UPDATE THERE IS NOTHING WRONG BUT YET MY CAR TURNS ITSELF OFF ALL THE TIME GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS 65 MILES AN HOUR THE ENGINE STALLS AND SHUTS OFF THE SUNROOF HAS LEAKED AND POURED INSIDE THE JEEP SINCE THE DAY I HAD IT IT'S A VERY DANGEROUS VEHICLE IT NEEDS TO PLEASE BE INVESTIGATED

FILLING GAS TANK TO TOP (FILL VALVE TURNS OFF AT PUMP) WILL CAUSE JEEP TO SPUTTER AND STALL WHEN DRIVING OUT OF THE GAS STATION. STALLING WILL MOST OFTEN HAPPEN WHEN ACCELERATING OUT OF THE GAS STATION LOT INTO TRAFFIC. CAR WON'T START AGAIN UNTIL TURNING THE KEY COMPLETELY TO THE OFF POSITION AND THEN STARTING AGAIN. AFTER THAT, CAR WILL OPERATE NORMALLY. IF THE GAS TANK IS NOT FILLED TILL THE GAS AUTOMATICALLY TURNS OFF, THE JEEP WILL RUN JUST FINE. IF LEFT RUNNING A BIT BEFORE ACCELERATING OUT, THEN SEEMS TO BE FINE. NEED TO BURN OFF SOME GAS FROM THE TOP. I'VE HAD THIS ISSUE BEFORE (5 YEARS AGO, 2012) AND SOLUTION WAS TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK. NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THAT WORKED FOR A BIT, BUT IT IS OCCURRING AGAIN. HAVE HAD IT DIAGNOSED WITH DEALERSHIP AS SAME PROBLEM WITH GAS TANK AND A VALVE ON THE TANK.

ENTIRE SUBFRAME AND CROSSMEMBER RUSTED BEYOND REPAIR, NEEDS COMPLETE REPLACEMENT. I NOTICED AN ODD CLINKING SOUND WHEN DRIVING OVER EVEN THE SMALLEST OF BUMPS, OR WHEN TURNING. I TOOK IT IN TO HAVE THE BRAKES CHECKED AND WHEN THE MECHANIC LIFTED IT, I WAS TOLD THE ENTIRE UNDERSIDE WAS COVERED IN RUST! I HEARD OF THE CROSSMEMBER EXTENDED WARRANTY SO I TOOK IT TO MAC HAIK JEEP FOR A DIAGNOSIS, THEY TOLD ME 3 - 5K TO REPLACE ALL PARTS, THAT ONLY THE CROSSMEMBER WOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. THEY ADVISED ME TO BUY A NEW CAR.

EVERYTIME WIFE FILLS THE FUEL TANK, THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF. 80% OF THE TIME IT HAPPENS IN THE INTERSECTION LEAVING THE FUEL STATION. SHE HAS ALMOST BEEN IN NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. SHE LOOSES POWER STEERING AS THE PUMP IS NO LONGER RUNNING BECAUSE THE ENGINE HAS SHUT DOWN. JEEP DEALER SAYS THIS IS A COMMON SAFETY PROBLEM, AND THAT THE FUEL TANK IS THE CULPRIT. THE OVERFLOW VALVE ON THE FUEL TANK IS FAULTY. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS WITH OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE. THIS NEED TO BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED.

EVERY TIME I GET GAS MY JEEP BUCKS AND STALLS FOR A FEW DAYS. IT BUCKED AND STALLED PROBABLY A DOZEN TIMES ON MY WAY HOME FROM GETTING GAS YESTERDAY. I JUST READ A WHOLE PAGE OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE FUEL TANK BEING FAULTY LETTING LIQUID GAS IN THE MANIFOLD (SOMETHING LIKE THAT) BUT IT'S DANGEROUS AND IT'S A DEFECT OBVIOUSLY. STALLING WHILE ENTERING A HIGHWAY RAMP TO A 75 MPH ROAD IS SCARY. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR A FEW YEARS BUT IT'S EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR. I'VE PAID MECHANICS TO REPAIR IT BEFORE BUT THEY MISDIAGNOSE IT AND CHARGE ME TO DEAL WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND TRANSMISSION FLUID ETC. PLEASE DO SOMETHING. REPAIR IS $1200 AND MY JEEP ONLY HAS 100,000 MILES ON IT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

AFTER FILLING UP GAS AT HALF A TANK THE CAR STALLS TRYING TO SHUT OFF AFTER DRIVING A SHORT DISTANCE SO THERE'S NO POWER TO STEER OR BRAKE SAFELY IN TRAFFIC. AT STOPS, THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF.

AT ANY GAS PUMP I GO TO I CAN ONLY PUT IN ABOUT A GALLON OR SO BEFORE THE PUMP SHUTS OFF OR OVERFLOWS. IT DOES THIS REPEATEDLY UNTIL I HAVE FILLED MY TANK. I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE WITH PATRIOTS IN FORUMS AND NO ONE CAN SEEM TO PINPOINT AN ISSUE OTHER THAN REPLACING THE GAS TANK. I BELIEVE THE ISSUE IS WITH A FAULTY VALVE IN THE GAS TANK. I MAINTAIN MY VEHICLE AND DO NOT BELIEVE I SHOULD BE HAVING THIS ISSUE. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP OR FEEDBACK. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.

THE FRONT SUB FRAME WAS ROTTED AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED.

THE CAR WAS AT THE DEALERS AND WAS TOLD THAT THE FRONT SUB FRAME WAS ROTTED AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

SUBFRAME IS RUSTED OUT DUE TO LOCATION OF A/C DRAIN. IF IT BREAKS STEERING CONTROL WILL BE LOST. THIS WAS FOUND DURING ROUTINE INSPECTION. 2007 AND EARLIER MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED

THE SUB FRAME IS RUSTED OUT DUE TO LOCATION OF A/C DRAIN. IF IT BREAKS STEERING CONTROL WILL BE LOST. I AM A RETIRED, CERTIFIED, MASTER MECANIC AND I AFFIRM THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURES PROBLEM ON ALL THE CARS BUILT ON THIS PLATFORM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP PATRIOT 4X4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SWAY BAR FAILED DUE TO THE SUBFRAME BEING CORRODED AND RUSTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SUBFRAME BECAME INOPERABLE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 65,000.

SUMMARY: WHILE DRIVING MY CAR WILL STILL IN THE ENGINE DIES THE CAR LOTS OF CITY IT DOESN'T MATTER WHERE YOU'RE GOING AFTER YOU PUT GAS IN THE CAR HE USUALLY DOESN'T START BUT NOW IT HAS STARTED NOT LETTING YOU FILL UP WITH GAS AT STOPPING THE FUEL PUMP LIKE YOUR TANK IS FULL AND IT DIDN'T PUT ANY GAS IN IT BUT IT'S VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARY WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND YOUR ENGINE SHUTS OFF IN THE CAR STALLS AND LOCKS UP. THE TRACTION CONTROL WILL COME ON AND IT'S AN ABLE TO BE TURNED OFF AFTER IT LOCKS UP AND STALLS AND SHUTS OFF WHILE YOU'RE DRIVING IT ANY SPEED IT DOESN'T RESTART IT IS VERY SCARY WHEN YOU'RE GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY IN THE ENGINE STALLS

-REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILED. THE ENTIRE DIFFERENTIAL WAS REPLACED BY JEEP THROUGH UNLIMITED POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. PROBLEM SOLVED. -THE FRAME AND BODY BEGUN TO RUST. THE PROBLEM STARTED TO APPEAR WHEN THE CAR WAS LESS THAN 5 YEARS OLD. THE PROBLEM WAS BROUGHT UP TO JEEP. JEEP DECLINED TO FIX OR ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. -ENGINE STALLS EVERY 11 SECONDS. FAULTY CODE SHOWS: P2107: THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL MODULE PROCESSOR. THE THROTTLE MODULE WAS REPLACED TWICE. PROBLEM PERSISTS. THE ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING. VERY UNSAFE DUE TO LOSS OF STEERING. CURRENTLY, THE CAR IS NOT DRIVEABLE - PROBLEM NOT FIXED. 04/01/2021: ODI # CHANGED FROM 10896825 TO 10896752 AS PART OF ROUTINE DATA CLEANUP.

THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS OR SO. EVERYTIME I FILL UP THE GAS TANK, WITH IN A COUPLE OF BLOCKS OF DRIVING AWAY FROM THE GAS STATION THE JEEP STOPS AND I LOOSE POWER STEERING. I OWN A 2008 JEEP PATRIOT AND I PURCHASED IN 2007. I DO NOT LOOK FORWARD TO FILLIING UP THE TANK, BECAUSE I KNOW WHAT HAPPENS AND IT DOES.

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR WILL STILL IN THE ENGINE DIES THE CAR LOTS OF IOWA CITY IT DOESN'T MATTER WHERE YOU'RE GOING AFTER YOU PUT GAS IN THE CAR HE USUALLY DOESN'T START BUT NOW IT HAS STARTED NOT LETTING YOU FILL UP WITH GAS AT STOPPING THE FUEL PUMP LIKE YOUR TANK IS FULL AND IT DIDN'T PUT ANY GAS IN IT BUT IT'S VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARY WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND YOUR ENGINE SHUTS OFF IN THE CAR STALLS AND LOCKS UP. THE TRACTION CONTROL WILL COME ON AND IT'S AN ABLE TO BE TURNED OFF AFTER IT LOCKS UP AND STALLS AND SHUTS OFF WHILE YOU'RE DRIVING IT ANY SPEED IT DOESN'T RESTART

OVER THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS I AM UNABLE TO PUT GAS AND IT IT SHUTS OFF THE PUMP AND USUALLY IT DOESN'T START AFTERWARDS BUT I WILL BE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT SPEED OF 65 70 MILES PER HOUR THE VEHICLE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WILL COME ON THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CONTINUES TO FLASH STANDING IN THE ENGINE LOCKS UP IN THE CAR STALLS AND DIES AND WILL NOT RESTART VERY DANGEROUS AND VERY SCARY

WITHIN A MILE OF FILLING UP MY GAS TANK THE CAR STALLS WHILE DRIVING AND LOCKS UP THE STEERING WHEEL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP PATRIOT 4X4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENTIRE FRONT SUBFRAME WAS CORRODED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE FRONT SUBFRAME ASSEMBLY WAS CORRODED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,574.

THE CAR CUYS IN AN OUT ALMOST LIMEIT GOING TO SHUT OFF. THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON AN FLASH AN DING . SHORTLY AFTER WHILE DRIVI G THE ESP COMES ON CUTS OUT LIME GOI G TO DIE THEN ENGINE DIES DRIVING OR PARKED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP PATRIOT 4X4. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDERGOING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC OBSERVED THAT THE FRAME WAS SEVERELY CORRODED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 130,000.

ENGINE SPUTTERS AND STALLS AFTER FILLING TANK. THIS OCCURS A FEW MINUTES INTO DRIVING IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE TANK IS FILLED. THE CAR SPUTTERS AND STALLS, AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP, WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION, WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES NOW. THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE: HTTP://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T29898_DS631498

MY FRONT CROSSMEMBER / SUB FRAME IS ROTTED OUT . CONTACTED JEEP THEY ARE AWARE OF PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY WARRANTED 2007 MODELS BUT NOT 2008 . FRONT ENGINE CRADLE HAS HUGE HOLES IN IT . DESIGN FLAW CAUSE THE AC DRIPS RIGHT ON FRAME CAUSING RUST . DEALERSHIP SAID NO SETRVICE BULLETIN ISSUED BUT THEY LIED . FINALLY GOT A GOOD QUOTE TO HAVE FIXED GONNA COST 775 TO FIX . I HAVE ALSO CHANGED MY FRONT SUSPENSION COMPONENTS 3 TIMES . BALL JOINTS , TIE RODS ETC AND THE OTHER PARTS . ONLY SAVING GRACE IS ITS PAID FOR AND LIFETIME POWER TRAIN WARRANTY .

ENGINE CRADDLE/ FRAME RUSTED THRU. PROBLEM FOUND ON JEEP PATRIOTS A ND DODGE CALIPERS. BAD DESIGN BECAUSE AC DRAINS ONTO RUSTED OUT AREA, I AM A PA INSPECTION MECHANIC SO I KNOW THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. DANGER IS IF CROSSMEMBER BREAKS STEERIG CONTROL WILL BE LOST.
