2012 Jeep Patriot complaints

DRIVING DOWN THE STREET CAR STALLING AS ESC WARNING AND TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON. I COULD NOT DRIVE AND HAD MY CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP.

WHEN I ATTEMPT TO REFILL GAS IN MY JEEP, THE TANK PREVENTS THE GAS FROM FLOWING INTO THE VEHICLE. I CAN REFILL THE TANK, BUT BECAUSE OF THE ISSUE, IT TAKES A VERY LONG TIME TO REFILL THE GAS WITH THE PUMP REPEATEDLY SHUTTING OFF.

AFTER HEAVY RAIN OR CAR WASH, WATER POURS OUT OF MAP LIGHTS INTO THE RADIO AND GEAR SHIFTER. IT IS DANGEROUS/DISTRACTING WHILE DRIVING AND I'M AFRAID IT WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE ELECTRONICS AND THE JEEP'S MAIN COMPUTER TO FAIL. WHILE TURNING, THE WATER WILL SOAK THE DRIVER OR PASSENGER SUDDENLY DEPENDING IN WHICH DIRECTION THE TURN WAS MADE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP ON TWO OCCASIONS TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM AND FIX THE ISSUE. A VIDEO OF IT HAPPENING WAS SHOWN TO THEM SO THERE WOULD BE NO MISUNDERSTANDINGS AND TO HELP THEM SEE THE PROBLEM. BOTH TIMES THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM, HOWEVER, IT STILL LEAKS.

WHEN PUMPING GAS AT ANY GAS STATION, MY FUEL TANK SHUTS OFF THE FLOW OF GAS APPROXIMATELY EVERY 5 SECONDS. THERE SEEMS TO BE A DEFECT WITH THE GAS TANK.

I BOUGHT MY CAR AS A SECOND HAND WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON AND THE DEALER TOLD ME IT'S A RECALL THAT JEEP HAS TO FIX. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT SPECIALIZES IN JEEP'S AND THEY COULDN'T FIX IT . IS THERE ANY WAY I CAN GET HELPED ?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED, SHE WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS AN OBJECT HANGING FROM THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE CROSS MEMBER AND FRAME WERE RUSTED AND FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO BROWN-DAUB DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (7720 BETH BATH PIKE, BATH, PA 18014, (844) 532-2120) BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 113,000.

I HAD MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON. I WENT TO AUTO ZONE AND HAD THEM RUN A QUICK DX CHECK TO SEE WHY THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CODE THAT CAME UP REPORTED AN ISSUE WITH MY GAS CAP OR FUEL SENSOR. I AM NOT ABLE TO PUMP GAS INTO MY VEHICLE WITHOUT THE PUMP SHUTTING OFF CONTINUOUSLY; WHEN PUMPING MY GAS I HAVE TO HOLD THE PUMPS LEVER AND IT WILL STILL LOSE PRESSURE AND SHUT OFF. I HAVE TO PUMP VERY SLOWLY IN ORDER TO FILL UP MY VEHICLE. WHEN GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY I CAN FEEL A SURGE IN MY ACCELERATION AND I HAVE NOTICED ISSUES IN BEING ABLE TO PICK UP SPEED. I ALSO STARTED TO HAVE AN ISSUE WITH A LOUD CLICKING WHEN TURNING ON MY HEAT OR AC. I STARTED LOOKING IN THE PROBLEMS MORE ON JEEPSCARES FORUMS. I SAW VARIOUS REPORTS ON BOTH ISSUES, ON ONE OF THE POSTS THEY ENCOURAGED ANYONE HAVING ISSUES WITH THE FUEL SENSOR TO REPORT THE PROBLEM TO NHTSA.

CAR STALLS AT EVERY STOP. WHILE DRIVING HIGH WAY SPEEDS FOR A FEW MINUTES IT DROPS DOWN IN SPEED CAUSING YOU CLOSE CALL ACCIDENTS BECAUSE IT IS VERY SUDDEN. IF I DRIVE THE JEEP AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP REGARDLESS IF AT STOP SIGN RED LIGHT OR BEHIND TRAFFIC THE CAR WILL TURN OFF HAVING ME TO TURN THE KEY IN OFF POSITION AND PUT IT IN PARK TO START IT AGAIN. IF I AM ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING I CAN BE GOING 45 MPH AND ALL OF SUDDEN THE JEEP STARTS DECLINING IN ITS ACCELERATION AND WILL NOT GO ABOVE 10MPH. ALSO WHEN INITIALLY STARTING UP IF I HAVE TO BACK UP IT TURNS OFF WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF BACKING UP. THIS ISSUE IS BEEN KNOWN TO HAPPEN TO A FEW PEOPLE WHO I KNOW THAT OWN THE SAME EXACT JEEP OR THE 2013 MODEL. ALSO HAVE HAD IT CHECKED OUT AND ONLY THING THAT POPS UP IS A CODE FOR THE GAS CAP WHICH I HAVE REPLACED AND STILL POPS THE CODE FOR IT

I HAVE A 2012 JEEP PATRIOT AND THIS KEEPS HAPPENING MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY. JUST TODAY IT HAPPENED TWICE WITHIN 15 MINUTES SO I PULL OVER, PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND WAIT FOR IT TURN OFF TO DO THE SAME THING 15 MINUTES LATER. LUCKILY I AM ABLE TO GET TO AN EXIT AND NOT HAVING TO PULL OVER ON THE HIGHWAY BUT THIS IS GETTING RIDICULOUS. THE TRANSMISSION COOLANT LIGHT WILL STAY ON AND THEN THE CAR LOSE THE POWER. GLAD I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THE PROBLEM

THE TIPM FAILED AND RUINED THE AC COMPRESSOR. LEAVING MY WITH A LOT OF EXPENSIVE ELECTRICAL ISSUES AND THE ENGINE STILL STALLS NO MATTER WHAT I FIX.*DT ENGINE STALLS WHILE ACCERLATING BETWEEN 20-40MPH. CONSUMER STATED VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TWICE. SPARK PLUGS AND 2 NEW AC COMPRESSORS REPLACFED AFTER TIPM BLEW. CONSUMER STATED VEHICLE STILL HAS PROBLEMS.*JB*DT*AS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH OUTDOOR TEMPERATURES, THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATED WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO EXCEED 30 MPH. ADDITIONALLY, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL WHINING SOUND COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION. A & B MOTORS INC (30007 GRATIOT AVE, ROSEVILLE, MI 48066, (586)445-1600) RECOMMENDED A TRANSMISSION FLUSH AND THAT THE TRANSMISSION SHOULD BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS PROVIDED AN ESTIMATE OF $5,000 FOR THE TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,000.

WHEN IN IDLE AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE JEEP ENGINE SHUT OFF RANDOMLY WITH A BEEPING ALARM AND RED FLASHING BOLT ON THE DASH, REQUIRED ME TO TURN THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION AND RESTART THE CAR, THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED ONCE WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. BATTERY IS NEW AND BOTH THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR TESTED GOOD. WHEN ACCELERATING, BRAKING, OR STEERING, THE CABIN LIGHTS, HEADLIGHTS AND DASH/RADIO DIM OR BRIGHTEN OFTEN SLIGHT FLICKERING AND SOME TIMES THE INTERIOR ROOF CAB LIGHTS RANDOMLY TURN ON WHILE DRIVING EVEN WHEN NO DOOR IS AJAR AND DIMMER SWITCH IS TURNED DOWN OR COMPLETELY OFF. APPEARS THERE IS SOME SORT OF ELECTRICAL SHORT OR POWER DRAW ISSUE. THE REAR DRUM BREAKS CONTINUOUSLY SQUEAL, LEAK AND LEAVE RUST RESIDUE CORRODING THE RIMS EVEN THOUGH I'VE HAD THEM MAINTAINED AND CHANGED BY CERTIFIED GOODYEAR MECHANICS

BOTH HEADRESTS HAVE SPRUNG OUT. ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS THE CAR WAS PARKED, OFF, AND WITHOUT REAR IMPACT THE HEADREST EJECTED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP PATRIOT LIMITED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING AT UNDISCLOSED SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE HOWEVER, PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.*DT TRANSFER FROM SECONDARY SIDE TO THE PRIMARY SIDE OF FUEL TANK CAUSES ENGINE TO STALL. CONSUMER STATED VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *JB

I HAVE A ACCIDENT OR CRASH CAR BEFORE( THE JEEP WAS IN MAKING LEFT TURN ,IN MOTION) I WAS IN CAMUY RURAL AREA, CITY OF PUERTO RICO AND THE AIRBAG DOESN'T CAME OUT THANK TO OUR. MIGHTY GOD IT WASN'T TOO MUCH BUT THE AIR BAG IT DOESN'T WORK. *TR

2012 JEEP PATRIOT 4 X 4 TAKES 20 MINUTES TO FILL GAS TANK DUE TO FAULTY VALVE. HAD THE DEALERSHIP RUN DIAGNOSTIC TESTS TODAY AND THEY TELL ME A NEW GAS TANK IS THE ONLY FIX DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH A VALVE INSIDE THE TANK....THEY CALLED IT A "FLAPPER" AND AN "INLET CHECK VALVE". TALKED TO JEEP AND TO TWO DEALERSHIPS AND NO ONE WANTS TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ISSUE. I ALSO FOUND THE FOLLOWING TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN WHICH EXTENDS THE GAS SYSTEM WARRANTY ON A NUMBER OF MAKES/MODELS FOR THIS VERY SAME ISSUE, BUT THE JEEP PATRIOT IS NOT INCLUDED - TSB 14-001-09 REV.A THIS IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING AND DANGEROUS.

WHILE DRIVING MY ENGINE RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF AND MY WHEEL LOCKS. AFTER IT DOES SO THE CAR WON'T START BACK UP. WHEN IT FINALLY DOES AND I GET THE CAR INTO PARK, THE CAR SHUTS BACK OFF AND IT REPEATEDLY DOES SO UNTIL IT WON'T START AT ALL AND I HAVE TO WAIT 15-39 MINUTES FOR IT TO START UP AND DRIVE NORMAL. THIS HAPPENS MORE THAN 5 OR 10 MINES ON A DAILY BASIS. IT HAPPENS ON HIGHWAYS, CITY STREETS, IT EVEN SHUTS OFF WHEN I'M NOT IN MOTION. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT SPEED I'M GOING OR IF I'M INCREASING OR DECREASING MY SPEED. IT SHUTS OFF WHEN EVER AND WHERE EVER.

2012 JEEP PATRIOT. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ISSUE WITH GAS TANK. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED IT WOULD TAKE 20-30MINS PUTTING GAS INTO THE TANK. THE GAS WOULD SPILL OUT OF THE TANK. *JS

THE TRANSMISSION JUST MADE NOISE AND WHINED A LOT. UNABLE TO GO PAST 60 MILES PER HOUR. CHECKED FLUID WAS FINE. CAR HAD 129,345 MILES ON IT. I HAVE CHANGED TRANSMISSION FLUID AND BOTH FILTERS TWICE. WE HAVE OWNED THIS 15 MONTHS

JEEP STALLS OUT ON ROAD. COULD ONLY GO 20 MPH AFTER RESTARTING

WHILE DRIVING OR IN A PARKED POSITION WHILE THE ENGINE RUNS, THE RPM NEEDLE DROPS TO ZERO 0 AND MY CAR DOESN'T ACCELERATE WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. THERE ARE TIMES I AM ON THE HIGHWAY AND RPM DROPS TO ZERO 0 AND I HAVE TO PULL OVER ON THE SHOULDERS. I WOULD HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK, AND SHUT MY CAR OFF FOR EXTRA MINUTES OR MORE BEFORE I CAN FULLY RESTART IT. IF I TRY TURNING THE CAR ON BEFORE THE 2 MINUTES IT WOULD TAKE A LONGER TIME TO RESTART. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE CAR SHUT OFF WHEN I'M AT THE STOP LIGHT, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. WHEN MAKING A TURN, AND THE RPM NEEDLE DROPS TO ZERO 0, MY STEERING WHEEL BECOMES SO STIFF/HARDEN AND IS VERY VERY DIFFICULT TO COMPLETE THE TURN.

A FEW MONTHS AGO MY VEHICLE STARTED TO RANDOMLY STALL AND JERK. WE THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT. THEN A FEW WEEKS AGO MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND A WARNING THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE FUEL CAP. A FEW DAYS LATER ALL OF THAT STOPPED COMING ON. YESTERDAY AS I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD SEVERAL LIGHTS CAME ON FOR THE STABILITY CONTROL AND THE ELECTRICAL THROTTLE LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL. I WAS GOING UP A HILL AND MY VEHICLE BARELY MADE IT UP THE HILL. I GOT BACK TO MY DRIVEWAY TURNED IT OFF AND TRIED AGAIN AND IT WAS THE SAME ISSUE. I'VE MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT THE PROBLEM, BUT THIS CAME OUT OF NO WHERE. I HAVEN'T TRIED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR SAFETY REASONS.

THE GAS TANK CAN NOT BE FILLED AT THE GAS PUMP WITHOUT REDUCING THE FLOW TO THE MINIMUM LEVEL. AS A RESULT IT TAKE 20 MINUTES TO PUT 10 GALLONS IN THE GAS TANK. THIS IS DANGEROUS LATE AT NIGHT OR IN BAD WEATHER. THIS ISSUE STARTED IN OCTOBER AND IS GETTING WORSE.

MY 2012 JEEP PATRIOT 4WD 2.4L IS AROUND 106,000 MILES. ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO, I WAS PUMPING GAS AND I NOTICED IT WAS ONLY PUMPING ABOUT 75 CENTS AT A TIME BEFORE STOPPING. I THOUGHT IT WAS A FAULTY PUMP BUT SOON BEGAN TO REALIZE IT HAPPENED EVERYWHERE! MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO COMES EVERY NOW AND THEN, WARNING ME THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER IS FAULTY. SO I FOUND THE RECALLS FOR BOTH OF THESE PROBLEMS WHICH INCLUDE 2012 PATRIOTS, YET THEY SAY MY CAR IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL. SERIOUSLY? THE ONLY RECALL THAT IS COVERED FOR MY CAR IS 16V-668 WHICH IS THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT. WHY ARE THE OTHER PROBLEMS THAT ARE POPPING UP WITH EVERYONE NOT COVERED?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE REFUELING THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL SENSOR INDICATED THAT THE FUEL LEVEL WAS FULL; HOWEVER, WHEN THE FUEL NOZZLE WAS PULLED BACK, THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RECEIVE ADDITIONAL FUEL. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DICK'S COUNTRY CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE (767 SW BASELINE ST, HILLSBORO, OR 97123), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FUEL TANK COULD BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 47,000.

TWO YEARS AGO I HAD NIELSEN JEEP IN EAST HANOVER, NJ PERFORM THE AIR BAG RECALL. MY JEEP PATRIOT HAD 100,000 ON IT. I NEVER HAD THE AIR BAG LIGHT COME ON. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THEY DID THE RECALL, THE AIR BAG LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND OFF. I RETURNED THE JEEP TO THEM THREE TIMES AND THEY STATED THAT THEY CORRECTED THE PROBLEM, I JUST BROUGHT JEEP IN ON 12/18/19 AND THEY SAID I NOW NEED A NEW PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG AT A COST OF $1,800.00! THEY CHARGED ME $150.00 TO DIAGNOSE THE SYSTEM.

I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH JEEP PATRIOT WITH 62000 MILES ON IT THE IS A WHINNING SOUND UNDER MY JEEP WHILE IN MOTION/RUNNING AND IT STARTS AT 35 MPH IN THE EVEN IN A HIGHWAY AND IN A STREET. AS COMMON A CONCERNED WITH THIS TYPE OF COMPACT SUV IS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. PLEASE CONDUCT AN INVESTIGATION TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU

MY 2012 JEEP PATRIOT WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY STARTED TO DECELERATE FROM 65 MPH TO 30 MPH VERY QUICKLY. I HAD TO CROSS THREE LANES OF TRAFFIC TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY. THE TEMPERATURE LIGHT FOR THE TRANSMISSION CAME ON BUT WENT OUT AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF HAVING THE CAR IDLE. THIS WAS THE ONLY WARNING LIGHT ON. THIS HAPPENED TWICE MORE AFTER DRIVING FOR MORE THAN AN HOUR. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER ALONG WITH A PICTURE OF THE WARNING LIGHT AND WAS TOLD THEY WERE UNABLE TO SAY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS BECAUSE THERE WAS NO CODE STORED ON THE COMPUTER. I THEN TOOK IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO ALSO SAID THERE WAS NO CODE TO WORK FROM BUT HAD EXPERIENCE IN DEALING WITH WHAT I DESCRIBED AND SAID IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION AND THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSIONS THAT JEEP HAD USED. HE SAID THIS WAS PRETTY COMMON KNOWLEDGE AMONG MECHANICS AND THEY ARE WAITING TO SE IF JEEP WILL DO A RECALL OR FIX THE PROBLEM. AS OF NOW A NEW TRANSMISSION IS $4500.00 PLUS COST OF A RENTAL CAR FOR MORE THAN A WEEK SINCE THE DEALERSHIP CAN'T SEEM TO HAVE THEM DELIVERED IN LESS THAN 7 BUSINESS DAYS. NOT ONLY IS THIS BASICALLY FRAUD FOR KNOWINGLY SELLING DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS BUT A SAFETY HAZARD TO ALL DRIVERS ON OUR HIGHWAYS WITH THE SUDDEN DECELERATION OF THE VEHICLE TAKING CHANCES WITH ALL OF OUR LIVES WHEN IT COULD BE PREVENTED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO FILL UP COMPLETELY WITH FUEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN UNKNOWN DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AND A VALVE IN THE TANK WAS REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 177,000.

REPEATED PROBLEMS WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING DURING NORMAL DRIVING, LOSS OF POWER AND SUDDENLY UNABLE TO ACCELERATE AFTER STOPPING AT INTERSECTION. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE JEEP CVT'S, AND IS A SAFETY CONCERN REGARDING THE SUDDEN NATURE OF THE PROBLEM OCCURING WHILE DRIVING NORMALLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION ONCE IT WAS RESTARTED. THE CONTACT'S FRIEND USED A CODE DETECTOR THAT DETERMINED THAT THE THROTTLE WAS DEFECTIVE. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE CONTACT ASSOCIATED THE FAILURE WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V120000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 90,000.

THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEAT LIGHT ILLUMINATES ON HOT MUGGY DAYS AND THE VEHICLE GOES IN LIMP MODE. THE DEALER HAS CHANGED RADIATOR, WATER PUMP, THERMOSTAT, TRANSMISSION FLUID,CATALYTIC CONVERTER, OXYGEN SENSORS AND GAS CAP. AS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS ALSO ILLUMINATED. NO CODES ARE IN SYSTEM FOR THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT SO THE DEALER SAYS THEY CANNOT FIND ISSUE. CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY WERE WORTHLESS INDICATING IF THE DEALER CANNOT FIND THE ISSUE THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED MANY TIMES TO CHRYSLER ON OTHER VEHICLES WITH NO RESPONSE FROM CHRYSLER. VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITH THIS CONDITION. IT HAS 106K. ON ODOMETER

2012 JEEP PATRIOT 4WD THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER RECALL INCLUDES 2012 JEEP PATRIOT FRONT WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLES; HOWEVER, MY FOUR WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING THIS SAME ISSUE. MY JEEP SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I DID NOT EVEN KNOW THIS WAS A RECALL UNTIL IT WAS TOO LATE. THIS MALFUNCTION CAUSED MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON WHILE IN MOTION ON A CITY ROAD, AND IT SHOULD BE FIXED BY DODGE/CHRYSLER/JEEP IMMEDIATELY.*PM

CAR WOULDN'T START ONE MONTH AGO. IT WOULDN'T EVEN TURN AFTER 3 ATTEMPTS. AFTER 10 MINUTES IT STARTED RIGHT UP AND HAD BEEN NORMAL. TODAY, 9/15/19, MY CAR STARTED UP FINE BUT 2 MINUTES INTO DRIVING AT 20MPH MY CAR LOST ALL POWER. I WAS DRIVING THROUGH MY WORK PARKING LOT DRIVING IN A FORWARD MOTION. SEVERAL LIGHTS LIT UP IN MY DASHBOARD PRIOR TO LOSING POWER. I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO NOT BE ON THE FREEWAY. I PUT MY CAR IN BRAKE AND RESTARTED IT. IT STARTED RIGHT UP, BUT NOW HAS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DISPLAYED. MY BATTERY IS A FEW MONTHS OLD. I'VE TESTED IT AND IT'S CHARGED. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR AND CONSIDER IT NOT IN A DRIVABLE STATE. IF MY CAR WERE TO DIE ON THE FREEWAY THAT WOULD BE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. CAR DEFECT THAT CAUSED THIS IS UNKNOWN. .

MY SON IS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 70MPH DURING THE SUMMER AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, HIS CAR LITERALLY DECELERATES. HE GOES FROM 70MPH TO 20MPH IMMEDIATELY. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES THIS SUMMER, 4 TIMES LAST SUMMER (I HAVE POSTED BEFORE), AND MULTIPLE TIMES IN 2017 (EVERYTIME HE COMES HOME FROM COLLEGE IN THE SUMMER!). THIS LAST TIME IT HAPPENED AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS MONTH (SEPT), HE WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED AND THEN ALMOST SIDESWIPED. THE DEALERSHIPS CAN'T DUPLICATE THIS PROBLEM (HE'S BEEN TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS), BUT JEEP KNOWS THERE IS AN ISSUE (THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS). THE CAR SHOWS NO SIGNS OF OVERHEATING AND GIVES NO NOTICE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. ONCE HE HAS SAT ALONG THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY FOR 1/2 TO 1 HOUR, HE CAN START HIS CAR AND DRIVE AGAIN. WHEN IS JEEP GOING TO RECOGNIZE THERE IS AN ISSUE? WE HAVE PAID TO HAVE TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGED - DIDN'T HELP. I SEE THAT A DEALERSHIP ELSEWHERE WITH SOMEONE ELSE WHO HAD HAD THE SAME PROBLEM FIGURED IT OUT AND SAID THAT IT WAS THE INTERNAL OIL PUMP OF THE TRANSMISSION THAT WAS MALFUNCTIONING AND CAUSING THE OVERHEATS. MY CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND I NEED TO GET THIS FIXED BEFORE IT ISN'T IN DECEMBER. PLEASE HELP. JEEP ISN'T DOING ANYTHING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE RPMS INCREASED ON THEIR OWN AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO STALL WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT HAD TO PULL OVER. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, IT RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND A CODE RELATED TO THE TRANSMISSION APPEARED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO BE SERVICED BY SEVERAL INDEPENDENT MECHANICS; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. AFTER THE RECENT FAILURE, THE MECHANIC STATED THAT ONLY JEEP COULD REPAIR THE FAILURE BECAUSE IT WAS A PROGRAMMING ISSUE. THE CONTACT CALLED STATION CHRYSLER JEEP OF MANSFIELD (91 CHAUNCY ST, MANSFIELD, MA 02048, 508-339-3400) AND WAS INFORMED TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN TO BE ASSESSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

MY CAR STALLED AFTER BEING PARKED FOR 45 MIN. IN A PARKING LOT OF A LOCAL STORE, AS I ATTEMPTED TO BACK OUT OF THE SPACE. I RESTARTED IT AND AS I TRIED TO BACK OUT, WHILE MOVING ONLY A FOOT OR SO, IT STALLED AGAIN. IT MADE NO SOUND AT ALL WHILE TURNING THE KEY, BUT ALL THE ELECTRONICS WORKED, IE. LIGHTS, WINDOWS, RADIO, ETC. IT WOULD NOT RESTART, AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS, I LEFT IT THERE OVER NIGHT AND THE NEXT DAY IT RESTARTED, AND I DROVE IT FOR ABOUT A COUPLE OF MINUTES TO THE END OF THE LOT WHERE IT STALLED AGAIN WHILE MOVING ABOUT 5 MPH. IT WOULD NOT RESTART, SO I HAD IT TOWED TO A SHOP WHERE A FRIEND WORKS. THEY COULD NOT FIND THE CAUSE, BUT DID GET A CODE FOR THE ECU/ECM. I DON'T KNOW WHAT NUMBER THE ERROR CODE WAS, BUT THEY DON'T DO THOSE TYPES OF REPAIRS. IT REMAINS IN THEIR LOT AT THIS TIME AS I TRY TO FIGURE OUT MY NEXT STEP. IT IS A JEEP PATRIOT SPORT (2.4 L) AUTOMATIC WITH ONLY 17,500 ACTUAL MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION AND THE TRANSMISSION WARNING INDICATOR FLASHED. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER AND TURNED IT OFF FOR APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 135,000.

'TAMARA RECALL' WHILE DRIVING ENGINE WILL JUST DIE LOSING POWER STEERING, ONCE STOPPED IT MAY OR MAY NOT RESTART CAUSING TRAFFIC JAM

VEHICLE LOSES ACCELERATION. THIS TENDS TO HAPPEN MORE WHEN ON A HILL OR SMALL INCLINE BUT DOES HAPPEN REPEATEDLY WHEN JUST ACCELERATING ON FLAT SURFACES AS WELL. THIS FEELS LIKE A STUTTER OR LOSS OF ACCELERATION. I HAVE HAD THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED, SPARK PLUGS & COILS & TCM BUT THE ISSUE IS STILL THERE. THIS IS A CVT TRANSMISSION.

VEHICLE WILL DIE DURING DRIVING. CAUSING EVERYTHING TO NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY. UNTIL IT IS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE ODOR OF FUEL WAS PRESENT INSIDE THE CABIN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 106,200.

AS SEVERAL OTHER 2012 JEEP PATRIOT 4X4 OWNERS HAVE NOTED, IT TAKES ME FOREVER TO FILL MY TANK - PUMP KEEPS CLICKING OFF. THIS STARTED AT ABOUT 70,00 MILES - I NOW HAVE 80,00 MILES ON IT. OF COURSE MY VEHICLE, WHICH I PURCHASED NEW, WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL TO REPLACE THE FAULTY FUEL TANK TRANSFER TUBE. EVEN IF I PAY OUT OF POCKET TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED I KNOW THIS IS NOT THE REAL PROBLEM AS OTHERS HAVE NOTED - IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE GAS TANK VENT SYSTEM WHICH WOULD NECESSITATE THE REPLACEMENT OF THE WHOLE GAS TANK. C'MON CHRYSLER, PLEASE ADMIT THIS IS A PROBLEM AND DO THE RIGHT THING. IF NOT, I WILL NOT BE PURCHASING ANY FUTURE CHRYSLER VEHICLES.

FRONT AND REAR SUBFRAME OF THE JEEP HAS BAD CORROSIN, JEEP ONLY HAS 80,000 MILES ON IT. IT IS PASS THE WARRANTY COVERAGE, WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL?

2 INCIDENTS SAME DAY. VEHICLE IN MOTION, LOST OF CONTROL, POOR RESPONSE OF STEERING WHEEL, BRAKES NOT RESPONDING, ENGINE AND/OR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM NOT WORKING PROPERLY. ENGINE CUTTING OFF. TIPM PROBLEM. ESC AND ENGINE LIGHTS ON. SOUNDS OF CAR SURGING. NO ACCELERATION IN SOME CASES AND UPHILL IN PARTICULAR. WE COULD HAVE GOT KILLED IF IT HAD HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY FOR SURE.

TAKATA RECALL. MY AIRBAG LIGHT IN MY PATRIOT JEEP HAD RECALL AND I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP ON STEVENS CREEK BLVD. IN SAN JOSE, CA FOR REPAIRS. HOWEVER, MY LIGHT STARTED GOING ON AND OFF, STOPPED ,NOW IT STAYS ON PERMANENTLY. I HAVE NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO INQUIRED ABOUT IT, AND EACH TIME I AM SENT TO A VOICEMAIL, AND I LEAVE A MESSAGE BUT THEY NEVER RETURN MY CALLS. I FINALLY INQUIRED AT THE DEALERSHIP IN GILROY, CA, BUT THEY STATED THAT I WOULD NEED TO,PAY THE $195 JUST TO CHECK IT. I EXPLAINED IT WAS NEVER FIXED CORRECTLY. I ATTEMPTED CALLING THE STEVENS CREEK CHRYSLER/JEEP DEALERSHIP, BUT WAS SENT TO VOICEMAIL AGAIN BY THE PERSON ANSWERING THE PHONE. THE AIRBAG LIGHT NEVER GOES OFF.

I RECENTLY LEARNED OF THE RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE AFTER I HAD BOUGHT IT. I AM HAVING A SIMILAR ISSUE AS DESCRIBED FOR THE RECALLED FUEL SYSTEM ISSUES. I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS EVER FIXED IN MY VEHICLE OR EVEN IF THE VEHICLE WAS CHECKED FOR IT.

I REPLACE A TRANSMISSION THROUGH THE JEEP DEALERSHIP NOW I AM HAVING PROBLEM AGAIN WITH THE TRANNY IT STALLS . I HAVE TO CUT IT OFF TO RESTART IT FOR IT TO HAVE POWER TO PULL OFF.

(1) SEAT BELTS/AIR BAGS: HAVE NOT HAD NOTICEABLE ISSUES WITH THESE YET HOWEVER ARE ASSOCIATED WITH A CHRYSLER RECALL #S61. IS A SAFETY RISK BECAUSE I COMMUTE TO WORK DAILY ON THE FREE WAY AND COULD GET INTO A CAR ACCIDENT WHICH COULD BE DEADLY IF THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY OR IF THE SEATBELT DID NOT WORK PROPERLY. (2) AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SEAT BELTS: CHRYSLER RECALL # N01; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM BEGAN HAVING ISSUES SPONTANEOUSLY AFTER BUYING THE VEHICLE AND HAVE PERSISTED. WARNING SIGNALS ON DASH WILL FLICKER ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING WHICH SEEMS TO BE ELECTRICAL-RELATED. JEEP WILL ALSO RANDOMLY ALERT WHILE DRIVING MAKING A, "DING" NOISE WHEN THERE IS NO CAUSE FOR ALARM. THIS SOFTWARE/ELECTRICAL ERROR COULD CAUSE AIR BAGS TO NOT DEPLOY PROPERLY AND CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT THE SEATBELT PRE-TENSIONERS AS WELL WHICH COULD BE DEADLY IN A HIGH-SPEED FREEWAY ACCIDENT. (3) FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE: CHRYSLER RECALL # N17; JEEP HAS LURCHED WHILE IN MOTION DRIVING AS IF THE ENGINE WAS STALLING OR AS IF THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. JEEP WILL LURCH MOST OFTEN WHEN ACCELERATING AND IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THE TRANSMISSION IS GETTING STUCK OR THE ENGINE IS STALLING BECAUSE THE RPM READING WILL SHOOT UP THEN DROP BACK DOWN TO ALMOST NOTHING. (4) FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, STORAGE TANK, ASSEMBLY: CHRYSLER IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2012 JEEP PATRIOT'S DUE TO SOME VEHICLES BEING BUILT WITH A FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY CONTAINING A DAMAGED ROLL-OVER VALVE. (5) SUSPENSION: CONSTANT SQUEAKI

TAKATA RECALL MY CATCAYLIC CONVERTER WENT BAD ITS NOT WORKING DUE TO FAILURE AND VEHICLE WILL STALL AND NOT GO BACKWARD ARE FORWARD. I HERE ITS A A RECALL FOR THIS.
