2012 Jeep Patriot complaints

THE CVT TRANSMISSION OF THIS VEHICLE (2012 JEEP PATRIOT) IS PRONE TO OVERHEATING. THIS OCCURS WHEN TRAVELING FOR A FEW HOURS AT HIGH SPEEDS. I HAVE FOUND THIS TO OCCUR TWICE WHEN TRAVELING AROUND 70 MILES PER HOUR OVER A PERIOD OF 2-3 HOURS. THE CAR'S OVERHEAT LIGHT COMES ON, FOLLOWED BY A STEADY DECREASE IN SPEED AND INABILITY TO ACCELERATE, PRESUMABLY TO PROTECT THE TRANSMISSION FROM FURTHER DAMAGE. IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS VEHICLE, AS CITED BY NUMEROUS CUSTOMERS ON FORUMS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE MECHANIC, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. ARRIGO DODGE CHRYSLER/JEEP SAWGRASS (5901 MADISON AVE, TAMARAC, FL) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102,000.

CAR MAKES A WHINING NOISE ONCE IT'S BEEN DRIVING FOR A LITTLE BIT. IT IS IN SYNC WHEN YOU ACCELERATE (WHINES UP WHEN PUSHING GAS, WHINES DOWN WHEN YOU LET GO). IT HESITATES TO ACCELERATE WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ON THE FREEWAY. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS I'VE BEEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT COMES ON, THE WHINING NOISE CONTINUES AND THE CAR WILL JUST SLOW DOWN AND EVENTUALLY STOP. I'VE HAD TO CROSS MULTIPLE LANES ON THE FREEWAY TO TRY AND GET OVER TO THE SHOULDER SO I DIDN'T BREAK DOWN AND GET HIT RIGHT AWAY. WHEN STARTING THE CAR STARTS EXTREMELY ROUGH AND IS VERY SHAKY. DEALERSHIPS HAVE TOLD ME THE ONLY WAY TO FIX IT IS TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION WHICH WILL COST OVER $4,000. THERE ARE PLENTY OF WEBSITES THAT PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING OF THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. IT IS A COMMON ISSUE ACROSS THE BOARD WITH PATRIOTS. THESE NEED TO BE RECALLED, PEOPLE ARE SPENDING THOUSANDS GETTING THEIR TRANSMISSIONS REPLACED BECAUSE THEY ARE BREAKING DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY AND CAUSING ACCIDENTS AND INJURIES.

ENGINE STALLS WHILE DRIVING. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS APPEARS WHEN ENGINE STALLS. IT MAY RESTART AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES. THIS REOCCURS RANDOMLY. AFTER IT STARTS BACK UP THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARS.

HELLO MY NAME IS [XXX] I HAD MY VEHICLE WORKED ON FOR THE LAST RECALL I HAD ON MY VEHICLE COM # [XXX] WHICH IS A 2012 JEEP PATRIOT LATITUDE 4AD 2.4L RECALL. U67 I HAD NO ENGINE LIGHTS ON MY DASH. THE ONLY ON DASH WAS HAD CAP AND I BOUGHT 3 OF THDM AND WITH THIS EMISSION ISSUE JUST THOUGHT IT WAS PART OF IT. DROVE IT OFF THE LINE THE DEALERSHIP DIDN'T LET ME TALK TOLD ME. TO EXIT THE DEALERSHIP AND THE ASST. SERVICE MANAGER THEY HAD ME SO LOST AND CONFUSED.AND DAZED THAT I THEY SAID THEY DID A CHECK-UP AND WENT OVER EVERYTHING BUT I DROVE HOME ON..A FLAT TIRE I HAVE TEXT FROM THEIR EMPLOYEE THAT SHE COULD NOT BELIEVE HOW I WAS BEING TREATED IN THE DEALERSHIP AND I WAS PICKING UP MY VEHICLE AFTER A RECALL THAT IS NOT RIGHT SINCE. THE RECALL I HAVE A ENGINE LIGHT AND IT WAS NOT ON THERE PRIOR TO THE RECALL I WAS TREATED POORLY AND MY JEEP PATRIOT IS WORSE NOW THAN WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN HAD A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCS.AND IT THE EMISSION AND I AM NERVOUS TO DRIVE IT NOW THE JEEP CORP SAID THAT I HAD TO TALK TO THE 2 PEOPLE WHO TREATED ME BADLY TO WHERE THE RECALL MADE MY CAR OR IT WAS MORE OR I DON'T KNOW IT'S COMING BACK EMISSIONS AND NONE OF THAT WAS THERE. I NEED HELP CAUSE NO ONE IS GOING TO SAY OR.TAKE FAULT BUT I WAS PUSHED OUT OF THE STORE WHEN I WAS THERE TO PICK UP AFTER RECALL NO ONE HAS HELPED ME OUT AND I DID NOTHING TO DESERVE THIS BUT TAKE IT TOO A DEALERSHIP THAT WOULD KICK AND TALK TO A CUSTOMER AND NO FOLLOW UP IT HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE AND MY JEEP IS PAYING THE PRICE. WH

I HAVE BEEN TRYING ALMOST 2 MONTHS TO GET MY VEHICLE RECALL SERVICE. PROBLEM THE DEALERSHIP DOES NOT HAVE THE PART IN TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. EVERYTIME I AM TOLD TO CALL BACK NEXT THIS IS TERRIBLE SERVICE THE RECALL IS FOR EMISSION RECALL- CATALYTIC CONVERTER EFFICIENCY I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR RECALL SERVICE LAST WEEK FOR 5/17/19. WHEN I ARRIVED THE DEALERSHIP DIDNT HAVE ME ON THE APPOINTMENT BOOK & ALL THE PARTS WERE NOT IN. MY VEHICLE ISNT DRIVING SMOOTH. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPAIRED IMMEDIATELY

I BOUGHT A JEEP THRU RANDY WISE DURAND 3 MONTHSS AGO. SINCE BUYING IT IS HAS BEEN RELAIRED W OR 3 TIMES FOR THE ENGINEE RANDOMLY STOPPING WHILE DRIVING. THIS PAST TIME I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 70 WITH A SEMI BEHIND ME WHEN THE ENGINE FOR NO REASON JUST STOPPED RUNNING. WE WERE ALMOST KILLED BECAUSE THE JEEP WENT FROM 70 TO 0 WITH A SEMI BEHIND US THAT ALMOST SLAMMED US. IT JUST "SHUTS OFF" WHEN IT FEELS LIKE IT. RANDY WISE HAS NOT OFFERED A REPLACEMENT AND CANNOT SEEM TO FIX IT. A WITNESS IS AVAILABLE.

THE TRANSMISSION IN MY 2012 JEEP PATRIOT IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. IT DOES NOT ACCELERATE AS IT SHOULD. IT STALLS WHEN I ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE. IT DOES THIS ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. IT OVERHEATS ON HILLS AND CAN'T TAKE IT OUT OF TOWN BECAUSE IT'S NOT RELIABLE. THIS DOESN'T MAKE SENSE SINCE THE CAR ONLY HAS 74,000 MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING OVER 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED FOUR TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS PUSHED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESTART AND WAS TOWED TO TUNKHANNOCK AUTO MART: DODGE RAM CHRYSLER JEEP (LOCATED AT 509 JOSEPH HUNTER HIGHWAY, TUNKHANNOCK, PA 18657), BUT A FAILURE CODE COULD NOT BE FOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 5843398. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

IT WAS CONFIRMED BY THE DEALERSHIP MY 2012 JEEP PATRIOT BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH AN INTERNAL FUEL TANK FAILURE. MY MANUFACTURER DATE WAS NOV. 2011 AND A RECALL WAS ISSUED IN DEC. 2011 TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK (OF COURSE MY VEHICLE DIDN'T QUALIFY). I DO NOT HAVE $1600 TO REPLACE SOMETHING THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR AND FIX. I HAVE A FEELING THAT THEY KNEW THAT THESE GAS TANKS WERE FAULTY BEFORE DEC. 2011, AND IN ORDER TO NOT HAVE TO REPLACE THEM, THEY TOOK THE EASY AND BARELY ANY MONEY OUT OF THEIR POCKET ROUTE AND DID A RECALL FOR THE TRANSFER HOSE HOPING THAT WOULD CORRECT THE ISSUE WHICH IF THAT'S WHAT THEY THOUGHT, SORRY IT DIDN'T WORK. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, LET ALONE TRYING TO PUT GAS IN IT WITH THE GAS PUMP SHUTTING OFF EVERY FEW CENTS. THE ONLY WAY I CAN PUT GAS IN IS BY A VERY SLOW TRICKLE WHICH TAKES ABOUT 10 - 15 MINUTES. WITHIN THE LAST FEW WEEKS, IT'S GETTING EVEN MORE DIFFICULT AS I HEAR THE GAS BACKING UP IN THE FILLER NECK. THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT ANY HELP OTHER THAN TELLING ME HOW MUCH IT WAS GOING TO COST WITHOUT ANY EXPLANATION AS TO WHY IT HAPPENED. WE NEED HELP IN GETTING CHRYSLER TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. SOMEONE PLEASE HEAR US AND HELP US AND DO SOMETHING NOW!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AN ONCOMING VEHICLE RAN A STOP SIGN AND CRASHED HEAD ON INTO HIS VEHICLE. NONE OF THE FRONTAL AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE OTHER DRIVER'S INSURANCE COMPANY SETTLED AND PAID FOR THE REPAIRS. THE AIR BAGS WERE NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. AFTER THE CONTACT'S BODY DAMAGE WAS REPAIRED, THE CHECK ENGINE, BRAKE LIGHTS, AND AIR BAG INDICATORS STARTED TO ILLUMINATE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE OVERALL COMPUTER SYSTEM FOR THE VEHICLE MALFUNCTIONED AND ALL THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. BECK CHEVROLET BUICK GMC (1601 REID ST, PALATKA, FL 32177, (386) 227-5222) WAS CONTACTED, BUT ONLY OFFERED TO SELL THE CONTACT A NEW VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V668000 (SEAT BELTS, AIR BAGS). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,000. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

CAR IS UNABLE TO TRANSFER TO HIGHER GEARS. ERROR CODE P0730 AND P0777. 84K MILES. TWO SHOPS STATING NEW TRANSMISSION NEEDED.

THE TIPM COMPLETELY WENT OUT WHEN DRIVING WHICH FILLED THE JEEP WITH SMOKE AND STARTED TO BURN VERY DANGOURS HAD NO POWER AT ALL HAD TO HAVE TOWED STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD

ON MY WAY TO WORK, MY CAR STALLED 3 TIMES WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT AND ONCE WHILE MOVING. AFTER THE MOVING STALL, MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE ERROR CODE IS P0339. IT ALSO STALLED TWICE ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK. IT DIDN'T STALL WHILE I WAS MOVING ON THE SECOND TRIP BECAUSE MY FOOT HAPPENED TO BE ON THE GAS WHEN IT TRIED TO STALL. I FELT THE CAR JERK BACKWARDS THEN RE-ENGAGE THE ENGINE BACK TO WHERE IT WAS BEFORE IT ALMOST STALLED. THE CAR HAD DONE A LITTLE JERK EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, BUT NOW IT'S MULTIPLE TIMES IN A SINGLE TRIP.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET STOPPED AND PROCEEDED TO GO UP THE HILL WHEN I PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE SO I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL IT WOULD REV UP BUT WHEN I PUT IT DRIVE IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. SO I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE MECHANIC TO HAVE IT EVALUATED AND HE SAID THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED IT IS ONLY 7 YEARS OLD I THINK THAT IS CRAZY. FROM ONLINE FORUMS THERE HAVE BEEN QUITE A FEW PATRIOTS THAT HAVE NEEDED NEW TRANSMISSIONS WITH NO AVAIL FROM THE MANUFACTURERS. I AM HOPING FOR A RECALL ON THIS TRANSMISSION SINCE I AM STILL PAYING ON THIS VEHICLE AND CANNOT AFFORD TO BUY ANOTHER AND PAY OUT $4200 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION.

AROUND 50000 MILES THE ENGINE STARTED TO STOP ACCELERATING DURING OPERATION. DURING DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY OR CITY STREET (AT ALL SPEEDS) THE ENGINE WOULD BEGIN TO MALFUNCTION WITHOUT WARNING AND THE MAXIMUM SPEED THAT COULD BE MET WAS ABOUT 10MPH WITH GAS FULLY ENGAGED. PULLINGNOVER AND RESTARTING THE VEHICLE WOULD OVERRIDE THIS FOR A SHORT TIME. IT STARTED TO OCCUR MORE FREQUENTLY TO THE POINT I WOULD HAVE TO RESTART MY CAR A APPROXIMATELY 15 TIMES TO MAKE A 9 MILE TRIP TO WORK. HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS OF UP TO 65MPH AND ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENTS SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE I COULD PULL OFF ON TO THE SHOULDER. EVENTUALLY AFTER MONTHS OF THIS OCCURRING AT RANDOM INTERVALS THE CAR SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING RESULTING IN TOTAL LOSS OF ENGINE POWER AND STEERING ABILITY OF THE VEHICLE THANKFULLY ON A QUIET BACK STREET WHERE I WAS ABLE TO LEAVE IT AFTER PUSHING IT IN NEUTRAL AND HAVE IT TOWED. AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS OF BEING IN THE SHOP AND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS LATER ITS RUNNING WITH A NEW ENGINE. MULTIPLE FRIENDS AND FAMILY MEMBERS WITH THE SAME VEHICLE MODEL MAKE AND YEAR HAVE THIS ISSUE ALL AROUND 50K MILES.

CATALYTIC CONVERTER RECALL IT APPEARS THAT MY 2012 JEEP PATRIOT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECENT CATALYTIC CONVERTER RECALL OF 2011-2016 JEEP PATRIOTS. YET, MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT PASS PA STATE INSPECTION IN DECEMBER OF 2018 DUE TO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND FAILED EMISSIONS TESTS. AFTER PAYING $1200 TO GET MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER REPAIRED IN DECEMBER, FCA IS NOW ISSUING A RECALL IN MARCH ON ALL 2011-2016 JEEP PATRIOTS? EXCEPT MINE? WHY? FUTHERMORE, FCA CANADA WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND ISSUED A RECALL ON THE SAME VEHICLES BACK IN 2018. WHY WAS FCA AMERICA SO SLOW TO ISSUE A RECALL? I WANT TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE MONEY (I'M NOT A LARGE CORPORATION WITH BILLIONS OF DOLLARS) I PUT OUT FOR REPAIRS TO A VEHICLE THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED SOONER AND WERE CAUSED BY FCA'S ATTEMPTS TO SAVE MONEY AND CIRCUMVENT THE EPA'S EMISSIONS AND SAFETY STANDARDS. THEREBY JEOPARDIZING THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF HARD WORKING HONEST AMERICANS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING REFUELED AT A FUEL STATION, THE FUEL PUMP CLICKED OFF BEFORE ENOUGH FUEL ENTERED THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE RECURRED AT DIFFERENT FUEL STATIONS. ONE ATTENDANT ATTEMPTED TO FILL UP THE TANK MANUALLY, BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT PROVIDED.

I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY WHEN I LOST POWER TO THE VEHICLE. FORTUNATELY, TRAFFIC WAS NOT HEAVY AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIFT OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I HAD TWO PASSENGERS AND WE WERE ABLE TO PUSH IT OFF TO THE SIDE SO WE WERE AS FAR OFF THE ROAD AS POSSIBLE. TIME WAS APPROXIMATELY 8PM ON MARCH 2, 2019. THIS IS AT LEAST THE 3RD INCIDENT WE HAVE HAD WITH THIS VEHICLE WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THERE WAS A 4TH BUT I WILL HAVE TO VERIFY THAT WITH MY WIFE WHO IS OUT OF TOWN AND I HAVE NOT TALKED TO HER YET THIS MORNING. IT IS HER CAR AND I WAS USING IT. I BELIEVE THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED IN THE SUMMER OF 2015 WHEN MY SON WAS DRIVING IT. WHILE MY SON WAS WAITING TO BE TOWED HE TRIED STARTING THE CAR AFTER 20 MINUTES AND IT DID START. HE LET THE TOW TRUCK AND DEALERSHIP KNOW THAT AND PROCEEDED ON HIS WAY WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE DEALERSHIP HAS LOOKED AT THE INCIDENT WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND THEY SAY THEIR COMPUTER IS NOT REGISTERING THE PROBLEM SO THEREFORE IT MUST NOT EXIST. OUR MECHANIC HAS LOOKED AT IT AND HE BELIEVES IT IS A THROTTLE BODY SENSOR AND FOR SOME REASON THE VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN WHEN IT THINKS IT'S TOO HOT AND UPON SITTING IT COOLS DOWN AND THUS STARTS. HOWEVER, WE SAT FOR ABOUT AN HOUR BEFORE THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED ON MARCH 2, 2019 AND I WAS UNABLE TO START THE VEHICLE. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THAT IS WHERE IT IS NOW. I AM NOT A MECHANIC SO MY EXPLANATION OF WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM MAY NOT BE TOTALLY ACCURATE. WHAT I DO KNOW IS THAT HAD THIS HAP

GAS PUMP KEEPS CLICKING OFF WHEN FUELING. MECHANIC TESTED EVAP SYSTEM AND STATED VEHICLE NEEDS A NEW FUEL TANK. THE JEEP HAS 62,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED. THIS IS AN UNUSUAL REPAIR AND IS EXTREMELY HIGH IN COST. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE INCLUDED AND COVERED WITH THE OTHER FUEL TANK RECALLS ON JEEP PATRIOTS.

WHEN FUELING, GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF AFTER ~1PINT, MUST WAIT TO DRAIN DOWN, ANOTHER PINT CLICK OFF, DRAIN DOWN, ANOTHER PINT, WAIT TO DRAIN DOWN- TAKES ABOUT 15 MINUTES TO FILL TANK. ENGINE STUTTERS ON ACCELERATION, RPM'S DROP 500-1000, PROBABLY FUEL DELIVERY RELATED. ALL COILS, PLUGS, FILTERS REPLACED, INJECTORS CLEANED.

THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. THE BATTERY IS FINE HOWEVER I LOSE ALL POWER. IT IS AS IF THERE IS NO FUEL EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A FUL TANK. THE TRACTION LIGHT COMES ON ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I ROLL TO A STOP AND LET THE JEEP SIT THEN TURN THE KEY AND IT STARTS RIGHT UP. THERE IS NO WARNING OR INDICATION WHEN IT WILL OVCUR. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL DISAPPEAR AFTER DRIVING FOR A TIME AND SO I AM TOLD THERE IS NO CODE TO BE PULLED. IM STUCK DRIVING A MACHINE THAT MAY OR MAY NOT TRY TO END ME. TONS OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE HOWEVER MY VIN DOES NOT SEEM TO BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ELECTRA AUTO SALES & SERVICE (42 PUTMAN PIKE, JOHNSTON, RI 02919, 401-232-2090). THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE MECHANIC PERFORMED A COMPLETE ENGINE TUNE UP, TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE, AND WAS ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE; HOWEVER, THE REPAIR DID NOT CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO STALL WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,295.

WHEN I WAS AT THE GAS STATION, FUEL PUMP KEPT SHUTTING OFF. I TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE PROBLEM IS THE ROLLOVER VENT VALVE ON TOP OF THE FUEL TANK DOES NOT OPEN TO RELEASE AIR. THEY TOLD ME I HAD TO REPLACE THE WHOLE TANK AND THEIR ESTIMATION IS MORE THAN $1800 BEFORE THE TAX. I SEE THE SAME PROBLEM PEOPLE FILED HERE. THE REPAIR SHOULD BE ON THE MANUFACTURER SIDE INSTEAD OF CUSTOMERS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AND MAKING A LEFT TURN, AN APPROACHING VEHICLE RAN A STOP SIGN. THE OTHER VEHICLE CRASHED HEAD ON INTO THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. NONE OF THE FRONTAL AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE OTHER DRIVER'S INSURANCE COMPANY SETTLED AND PAID FOR THE BODY REPAIRS. THE AIR BAGS WERE NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. AFTER THE BODY REPAIRS, THE BRAKE, CHECK ENGINE, AND AIR BAG INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. EVENTUALLY, ALL THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER (BECK CHEVROLET BUICK GMC, 1601 REID ST, PALATKA, FL 32177, (386) 227-5222) DID NOT ASSIST, BUT OFFERED TO SELL THE CONTACT A NEW VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V668000 (SEAT BELTS, AIR BAGS). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED, BUT DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000.

ISSUE IS I CANNOT FUEL TANK DUE TO FUEL TANK VALVE STUCK. I JUST HAD THE ESIM REPLACED BECAUSE THAT WAS WHAT THE DEALER SAID WAS THE ISSUE. PROBLEM WASN'T RESOLVED AND NOW I HAVE TO REPLACE FUEL TANK. I SAW WHERE THERE WERE OTHER VEHICLES EXPERIENCING THIS SAME ISSUE AND WERE RECALLED.

FRONT CONTROL ARMS AND/OR BUSHINGS HAVE GONE BAD, BEFORE 72K MILES. CAUSES STEERING INSTABILITY AND EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR. DOZENS OF OTHER REPORTS OF THIS SAME PROBLEM FOR THIS SAME MAKE/MODEL ARE EASILY FOUND ONLINE. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT, AND IT MERITS A RECALL.

I WENT TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE AN ORC MODULE S61 THAT WAS RECALLED. THEY REPLACED THE PART BUT RIGHT AS I WAS LEAVING THE DELEARSHIP, MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO LET THEM KNOW BECAUSE I HAD TO PICK UP MY KIDS FROM THE BUS STOP, SHE TOLD ME TO BRING IT UP DURING MY OIL CHANGE THE NEXT WEEK. I DID AND THEY TOLD ME IT WASN'T THEIR PROBLEM, THE RECALL HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE AIRBAGS, AND QUOTED ME AT $600 FOR THEM TO GO THROUGH MY CAR AND CHECK THE WIRES. THE SERVICE MANAGER DID TELL ME THE OBD 2 READING WAS B1C29-LEFT SIDE SEAT THORAX SQUIB 1 OPEN AND B1C2D- RIGHT SIDE SEAT THORAX SQUIB 1 OPEN; AND ADVISED ME TO UNPLUG AND PLUG ALL THE CONNECTORS UNDER THE SEAT. I DID THIS AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I CALLED THEM BACK AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING TO FIX IT AND IT WAS MY FAULT NOT THEIRS AND I RECIEVED THE SAME $600 QUOTE TO FIX IT. I KNOW IT HAPPENED WHILE THEY WERE WORKING ON IT AND I HAVE FOUND A COUPLE OF THREADS WITH PEOPLE THAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND THEY ALL SAID TO MAKE A COMPLAINT ON HERE.

DRIVING ON THE FRWY CAR TURNED OFF AND WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON , FROM THEN IN IT HAS HAS TROUBLE STARTING LIGHT SIGNALS TRIP . I'VE BEEN STRANDED WITH NO CRANK. TOOK IT TO SEVERAL MECHANICS ALL WHOM SAYNITS A FAULTY TPIM . WITH A $1000 OR MORE FIX.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN. AFTER AN HOUR, THE VEHICLE RESTARTED ON ITS OWN. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE LOCAL DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 126,000.

MY SCREEN TABLET SHOW ME SOME TIME ON AIR BAG IS OFF . TURN ON AND TURN OFF MANY TIMES. TODAY 10/24/2018 . I WENT TO CHRYSLER FOR RECALL BUT THEY DOESN'T FIXED. I AM VERY UNSUCEFULL WITH CHRYSLER. THEY DON'T GIVE ME A NEW DATE FOR FIXED. I WANT REPORTING WITH YOU "NHTSA" THANK YOU. I NEED A EARLY MESSENGER OF YOU.

WHEN I TRY TO PUT GASOLINE IN MY CAR, THE PUMP KEEPS SHUTTING OFF. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING. I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT GASOLINE STATIONS. HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE, BUT NOW IT IS WORSE EVERY TIME I TRY TO PUT FUEL IN THE TANK. I CONTACTED THE DEALER, THEY TOLD ME NO RECALL FOR FOR MY JEEP.

VALVE IN FILLER NECK WILL NOT ALLOW FUEL TO ENTER TANK.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A INTERSTATE WITH MY INFANT SON IN THE BACK OF THE CAR WHEN IT SHUT OFF ON ME INCLUDING DASH LIGHTS AND RADIO. I WAS FORTUNATE TO GET IT OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SAFELY. I TOOK IT TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP AND THEY ADVISED THAT MY TIPM WENT BAD. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. I DID READ NEWER JEEPS WERE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.

WHEN THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN AND WAITED AT INTERSECTION OR MIDDLE LANE, THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF BY ITSELF. WHEN IT IS RESTARTED, THE POWER IS BACK EITHER IMMEDIATELY OR AFTER A FEW MINUTES. I READ ONLINE AND MANY MANY CUSTOMERS REPORTED THIS PROBLEM, RANGING FROM VERY NEW JEEP PATRIOT (LESS THAN 10,000 MILES) TO DRIVING AT HIGH SPEED. THE LINKS ARE SHOWN BELOW: HTTP://WWW.CARPROBLEMZOO.COM/JEEP/PATRIOT/AUTOMATIC-TRANSMISSION-CONTROL-MODULE-PROBLEMS.PHP HTTPS://WWW.JEEPPATRIOT.COM/FORUM/5-JEEP-PATRIOT-GENERAL-DISCUSSION/92388-HELP-ENGINE-SHUT-DOWN.HTML WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THEY CAN NOT FIGURE OUT THE CAUSES. THE LAST TIME, THEY SAID IT IS THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE ISSUE. SINCE SO MANY CUSTOMERS REPORTED THIS ISSUE, THIS VEHICLE NEEDS A RECALL. THE UNEXPECTED SHUTOFF IS VERY DANGEROUS.

TRANSMISSION OVERHEATED GOING 60 MILES PER HOUR ON THE INTERSTATE. I PULLED OVER AND LET THE LIGHT GO OFF PER THE USER MANUAL AND DIDN'T DRIVE IT ANYMORE. PUT IT IN THE SHOP ON MONDAY AND IT NEEDS A BRAND NEW TRANSMISSION WITH ONLY 119K MILES ON IT!

THE TRANSMISSION TEMPERATURE GAUGE HAS COME ON WHEN TRAVELING AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS, CAUSING AN IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER AND REQUIRING ME TO PULL OVER AND LET THE ENGINE COOL DOWN. 2 JEEP DEALERSHIPS HAVE ASSESSED THE VEHICLE IN THE DAYS AFTER THE INCIDENTS, NEITHER OF WHICH COULD OFFER ANY REMEDY. BOTH DEALERSHIPS' SERVICE MANAGERS MENTIONED THAT THESE VEHICLES' TRANSMISSIONS ARE OFTEN PROBLEMATIC AND DO NOT HANDLE HIGH TEMPERATURES WELL, BUT WITH NO ACTIVE RECALL, NEITHER COULD OFFER ANY RECOURSE OR EVEN A REMEDY. THIS IS CLEARLY A CASE OF A POORLY ENGINEERED PRODUCT (THE JATCO CVT) THAT THE MANUFACTURER IS AVOIDING DEALING WITH, AT THE EXPENSE AND SAFETY OF ITS CONSUMERS. IN FACT, JEEP NO LONGER USES THIS TRANSMISSION - THEY REPLACED IT IN 2014 - CLEARLY THEY KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM. THIS ISSUE IS A BLATANT SAFETY HAZARD AND NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED MORE THOROUGHLY AND THE MANUFACTURER HELD TO ACCOUNT FOR THE UNSAFE CONDITIONS THEY KNOW THEIR CONSUMERS ARE IN. UNACCEPTABLE!!!

THE ENGINE IS RANDOMLY STALLING. IT STALLED THE OTHER DAY AT THE HIGHWAY AND KEEPS RANDOMLY DOING IT WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I HAVE TO PULL OVER EVERY TIME AND WAIT A COUPLE OF MINUTES TO TURN IT ON. IT SEEMS BY READING THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED FOR THE SAME MODEL MULTIPLE TIMES.

CAR STALLS OUT GOING DOWN THE ROAD. CAR MOST RECENTLY STARTS AND DIES RIGHT AFTER. WE ARE GETTING FUEL.

MY JEEP IS BY FAR ONE OF THE BIGGEST SAFETY HAZARDS IF NOT FOR ME BUT FOR EVERYONE ELSE ON THE ROAD. THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEAT LIGHT COMES ON CONSTANTLY. IF I GO OVER 60 ON A DAY THAT IS OVER 70 DEGREES FOR LONGER THAN 10 MINUTES THE TRANSMISSION WILL OVER HEAT. IT ISN'T JUST AN ANNOYANCE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT JEEP HAS KNOWN ABOUT. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE INICIATED. THE

INTERSTATE 44 ST. ROBERTS MISSOURI SPEED LIMIT 70 MILES AN HOUR AMBER TRANSMISSION WARNING LIGHT INDICATES OVERHEATING KARZAN REDUCE THE SPEED TO 40 MILES AN HOUR ON THE INTERSTATE. JEEP IS AWARE OF THIS DUE TO A DEFECT AND THE DESIGN OF THE CVT TRANSMISSION. WILL NOT BE REPAIR TELL RECALL ORDERED BY GOVERNMENT

INTAKE MANIFOLD SYSTEM: THE INTAKE MANIFOLD IS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL AND TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING. DIFFICULTLY STARTING THE VEHICLE AND POOR GAS MILEAGE.

AC ACTUATOR BLEND DOORS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2012 JEEP PATRIOTS. DOES NOT WORK IF THE CAR IS IN MOTION OR IF IT'S STATIONARY.

PURCHASED FROM A USED CAR DEALERSHIP /01/2018 AND THE FIRST TIME I WENT TO PUT GAS IN THE TANK IT KEPT CUTTING OFF RAPIDLY NOT ALLOWING ME TO FILL IT QUICKLY.I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL JEEP DEALER FOR HELP AND THEY DIAGNOSED IT NEEDED A NEW FUEL TANK. AT THE COST OF 1300.00+ DOLLARS. THE FUEL NECK HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN REPLACED BUT THIS WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. NOW I AM STUCK WITH THIS AS I CAN NOT AFFORD TO FIX IT.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2012 JEEP PATRIOT DOWN A REGULAR STREET AND IT SUDDENLY SLOWED DOWN AND DASH LIGHTS WENT ON. THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM LIGHT WENT ON ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT.

I WAS STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT TURNING RIGHT THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I WENT TO GO AND MY JEEP PATRIOT STARTED HESITATING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION AND IT TOOK A FEW MINUTES TO GET UP TO SPEED I HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM MULTIPLE TIMES BUT THE DEALERSHIP COULDN'T RECREATE THE PROBLEM SO THEY COULDN'T TELL ME A SALUTATION BROUGHT IT IN 3 TIMES NOW WHEN I GO TO SPEED UP TO FLOW OF TRAFFIC COMING OFF THE ON RAMP MY TRANSMISSION MAKES A HOWLING NOISE AND IT IS SLOW TO GET UP TO SPEED

DURING THE SUMMER OR ANY HOT DAY, AND ESPECIALLY DURING SPEEDS OVER 65 MILES PER HOUR MY JEEP ENGINE WILL STALL.. MEANING IT WILL REDUCE SPEED AND THEN STOP... THIS HAS HAPPENED EVERY SUMMER FOR YEARS, AND IS NOW HAPPENING AGAIN DURING DRIVING IN TRAFFIC, AND HAS EFFECTIVELY LEFT ME STRANDED AT TIMES ON THE ROAD... I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. I WILL SHOW YOU THE WARNING INDICATOR LIGHT IT PRESENTS WITH. I AM DATING THE PROBLEM AS 06/18/16 EVEN THOUGH THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES.

THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE WOULD NOT ROLL CORRECTLY AND WAS MAKING A NOISE UNDER THE HOOD. IT WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP AND AFTER RUNNING DIAGNOSTIC TESTING FOUND THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSION, DRIVE SHAFT JOINT AND TRANSMISSION COOLER HAD TO BE REPLACED. PER THE REPAIR SHOP "THE TRANSMISSION HAD CATASTROPHIC FAILURE" AT 96,986K MILES AND WITHOUT ANY ADVANCED WARNING I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO AGREE TO HAVE A REBUILT TRANSMISSION, DRIVE SHAFT AND COOLER BE INSTALLED BECAUSE MINE COULD NOT BE REPAIRED. THE ONLY THING THEY COULD SALVAGE WAS THE TRANSFER CASE WHICH WAS THOUGHT TO HAVE BEEN THE ISSUE BUT THE DIAGNOSTIC TESTING FOUND THAT WAS OK. THREE WEEKS IT IS FINALLY FIXED AND APPEARS TO BE WORKING FINE.
