2010 Jeep Patriot 4x4

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.

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.

VEHICLE IN MOTION - CUT OFF/LOSS OF POWER WHEN ACCELERATING FROM RAMP ONTO BUSY HIGHWAY WITH MY 2 YEAR OLD IN VEHICLE [CAUSE UNKNOWN, VEHICLE IS NOT THROWING ANY CODES] VEHICLE IN GOING FROM STATIONARY TO IN MOTION - WHEN GOING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN OUT OF A SHOPPING CENTER CAR STALED WITH ME AND MY 2 YEAR OLD IN IT, WITH ON COMING TRAFFIC. QUICKLY PUT CAR IN PARK, CAR WOULD NOT START, HAD A LONG START, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FREAKED OUT, I COULD NOT STOP IT BY TURNING OFF THE KEY, KEY WOULDNT MOVE. [UNKNOWN CAUSE] VEHICLE IN MOTION - BUCKING AND STALING AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS [CAUSE UNKNOWN, COULD BE VAPOR/LIQUID SEPARATOR VALVE] VEHICLE STATIONARY - WHEN FUELING, AFTER REMOVING NOZZLE SOUND OF AIR BEING SUCKED INTO THE GAS TANK [VAPOR/LIQUID SEPARATOR VALVE AT TOP OF FUEL TANK] VEHICLE STATIONARY/RUNNING - AT IDLE CAR RANDOMLY DROPS RPMS AND TRIES TO STALL [UNKNOWN CAUSE] VEHICLE IN MOTION - GRINDING SOUND WHILE DRIVING, LOSS IN THE ABILITY TO RESPOND QUICKLY TO PUSHING ON GAS PEDAL, CAUSING AN OVERLOAD ON CVT TRANSMISSION [UNKNOWN CAUSE, MAYBE DRIVE TRAIN] VEHICLE IN MOTION - WHEN DRIVING WHINING SOUND [UNKNOWN CAUSE] MIXED ADVICE FROM MECHANIC SOME SAY COULD BE CVT TRANSMISSION OTHERS HAVE CITED TECHNICAL REPAIR NOTICE FOR WHINING OF POWER STEERING. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON RANDOMLY SINCE FEB 2018.

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.

VEHICLE STALLS OUT DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AFTER FILLING GAS TANK TO FULL LEVEL. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT MANY PEOPLE WITH THE JEEP PATRIOT ARE EXPERIENCING. THE FIX IS KNOWN. WHEN WILL THIS ISSUE BE RECALLED AND ADDRESSED?

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.

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.

AFTER FILLING MY TANK THE JEEP WILL RANDOMLY SHUT OFF. THIS HAS OCCURRED MORE THAN 10 TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR.

THE VEHICLE REGULARLY STALLS, BUT UNEXPECTANTLY TO THOSE AROUND ME IN TRAFFIC, AFTER FILLING THE TANK.

AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS, THE CAR STARTED JERKING WHEN DRIVING. WHEN SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE CAR JUST SHUT OFF. THIS OCCURS AFTER FILLING UP THE TANK WITH GAS. WHEN SITTING AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS, THE CARS RPM'S DROP THAT THE CAR ALMOST SHUTS OFF IF YOU DON'T KEEP IT MOVING.

WHEN FILL GAS TANK, CAR STALLS OUT WHEN MAKING TURNS ON ANY ROADWAY.

WHEN I GO TO PUT FUEL IN TANK, THE GAS PUMP KEEPS SHUTTING OFF EVERY FEW SECONDS. IT TAKES FOREVER TO PUT ANY AMOUNT OF FUEL IN TANK. THIS PROBLEM STARTED A FEW MONTHS BACK.

BAD BALL JOINTS SAME AS MANY OTHERS. ALSO BAD SUB FRAME. TOOK AUTO IN FOR MAINTENANCE AND WAS SHOWN BAD BALL JOINTS AND A RUSTED OUT SUB FRAME. THESE WERE ISSUES AND EARLIER PATRIOTS BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 JEEP PATRIOT 4X4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V668000 (AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS) EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR REPAIR. THE CONTACT RECEIVED THE NOTIFICATION IN OCTOBER OF 2016. AN APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED WITH THE DEALER (CHRYSLER JEEP RAM, 500 PRESCOTT LAKES PKWY, PRESCOTT, AZ, 86301). WHEN THE CONTACT ARRIVED FOR HIS APPOINTMENT, HE WAS INFORMED THAT PARTS WERE UNAVAILABLE FOR THE REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT PARTS WERE UNAVAILABLE; HOWEVER, THEY CONTINUED TO SEND RECALL NOTIFICATIONS TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT, BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

MAYBE 5 MINUTES AFTER REFUELING MY GAS TANK, THE CAR WILL UNEXPECTEDLY LOSE POWER AND SHUT OFF. IT IS DIFFICULT TO RESTART. I END UP SITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF BUSY ROADS UNABLE TO RESTART MY CAR OR PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I HAVE GOOGLED THIS ISSUE AND FOUND NUMEROUS OTHER PEOPLE WITH JEEPS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. VERY DANGEROUS. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO BELIEVES IT IS A FAULTY ROLLOVER VALVE/SENSOR.

UPON REFILLING THE GAS TANK TO FULL FROM NEAR EMPTY, THE CAR WILL IMMEDIATELY STUTTER AND OCCASIONALLY STALL FOR UP TO FIVE MINUTES. I DISCOVERED THIS UPON PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND THE ENGINE TURNING OFF. THIS LED TO LOSS OF POWER STEERING AS WELL. OTHER CARS HAD TO IMMEDIATELY DIVERT OR COLLIDE INTO MY CAR. UPON RESTARTING THE CAR DID THIS THREE MORE TIMES WITHIN 2 MILES. NO EMERGENCY LIGHTS OR WARNING LIGHTS GO OFF. THIS IS ALLEGEDLY A FUEL SYSTEM PROBLEM AND THE ENGINE IS "CHOKING" DUE TO A FAULTY SENSOR. THIS HAS OCCURRED THREE TIMES NOW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 (NA) JEEP PATRIOT 4X4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE STEERING FAILED. THE VEHICLE LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 116,000.

FIRST TIME 09/2013 I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 75 MPH FROM COLORADO TOWARDS ARIZONA WHEN FROM ONE SECOND TO THE OTHER VEHICLE FORCE DROP SPEED TO 30 MPH AND A TEMPERATURE LIGHT CAME ON ON DASH, PUTTING MY FAMILY AT DANGER SINCE I HAD TO SWERVE AS FAST AS I COULD TO THE SHOULDER BECAUSE SEMI WAS GOING AS FAST AS ME. WHEN I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP THERE WAS NO POWER AND A WHINING NOISE COMING FROM UNDER HOOD. I TURNED VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON AND LIGHT CAME OFF AND POWER WAS RESTORED BUT AS SOON AS THE TACHOMETER REACH 3000 RPM TEMP LIGHT BACK ON AND LOSS OF POWER CAME BACK. I TURN OFF VEHICLE ONCE AGAIN AND RETURNED TO COLORADO SPRINGS STRAIGHT TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS DIAGNOSED WITH TRANSMISSION INTERNAL FAILURE 3 YEARS AFTER I PURCHASE BRAND NEW AT 73,687 MILES ON ODOMETER. POWER TRAIN WARRANTY COVER THE CVT REPLACEMENT AND FOUND OUT THAT 100'S OF PATRIOTS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. FAST FORWARD 3 YEARS LATER 2/2017 WHINING NOISE CAME BACK LIGHT CAME BACK BUT NO WARRANTY AND UNFORTUNATELY DEALER ESTIMATES $6000.00 REPLACEMENT BILL. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH JETCO CVT'S ARE THE PROBLEM AND AFTER MANY COMPLAINS PATRIOTS NO LONGER WITH CVT'S BUT I'M STUCK WITH A NON WORKING WORTHLESS VEHICLE IN MY DRY WAY.

SECOND COMPLAIN ABOUT TRANSMISSION FAILURE. VEHICLE NEEDS NEW TRANSMISSION AGAIN AFTER 3 YEARS FROM BEING REPLACED. AS I WAS DRIVING ON I-70 FROM MY HOSPITAL JOB IN THE MORNING RUSH COMMUTE, MY PATRIOT DECIDED TO DROP SPEED FROM 70 MPH TO 30 MPH ON A BLINK OF AN EYE. THIS TIME SINCE I WAS ALONE JUST PUTTING ME IN DANGER UNLIKE THE LAST TIME IN 2013 WHEN IT HAPPEN THAT MY 11 YEAR OLD AND 1 YEAR OLD BABY WERE ON BOARD. I SWERVE TO THE SHOULDER YET AGAIN TO AVOID BEING HIT BY TRAFICC I PROCEED AS I RECALL TO TURN IGNITION OFF AND TRY TO MAINTAIN TACOMETER FROM REACHING 3000 RPM TO AVOID TRANSMISSION SAFE MODE TO KICK IN AGAIN AS I MAKE IT HOME.

I RECENTLY BROUGHT MY 2010 JEEP PATRIOT IN FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. MY MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT MY REAR SUB FRAME HAS ROTTED AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED ASAP. AT THIS VISIT, HE CLEANED AND OILED IT AND ALSO ADVISED ME TO TAKE CARE OF THIS ASAP.
