2011 Jeep Patriot Complaint Log

CAR SHUTS OFF QND STOPS WITHOUT WARNING EVERYTIME AFTER FILLING TANK WITH FUEL... VERY DANGEROUS ON HIGHWAY...

WENT TO GET A STICKER AND THEY LET ME KNOW THAT IT WOULD NOT PASS DUE TO A RUSTED/CORROSIVE SUB FRAME. RESEARCHED ONLINE AND NOTICED MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS WITH MANY JEEP PATRIOTS OF MANY YEARS. WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN CHANGED OR RECALLS DONE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO RIVER OAKS CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (4807 KIRBY DR, HOUSTON, TX 77098, (713) 524-3801) TO BE REPAIRED PER AN UNKNOWN RECALL. THE DEALER FOUND A FRACTURED TRANSMISSION FILL TUBE. THE CONTACT BELIEVED THAT THE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE OCCURRED AT THE EMISSIONS FACILITY SINCE NO MAINTENANCE HAD BEEN PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE PREVIOUSLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,278.

MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT THE END OF MAY 2019, I HAVE GONE TO MY BANK TO GET A LOAN TO HAVE IT FIXE AND UPON TALKING TO MY LOAN OFFICER HE INFORMED ME THAT W.IN 150 MILE RADIUS THERE HAS BEEN 14 LOANS TO HAVE TRANSMISSIONS FIXED ON HOW MANY HAS THERE BEEN IN THE STATE OF WI, IN THE WHOLE JEEP COMMUNITY? THERE WAS NO GIVEN WARNING THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM W/ OUR JEEP, IT JUST STOPPED WORKING AS MY SON WAS ABOUT TO GO TO SCHOOL ONE MORNING. IT MOVED ABOUT 5 FT AND THAT WAS ABOUT IT, NOTHING MORE. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG W/ THIS VEHICLE OTHER THAN THE TRANSMISSION STOPPING. HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN? JEEP IS A MONEY MAKER, I KNOW THERE A MANY FACTORS IN RECALLS BUT I FIND THAT THIS IS A MALFUNCTION IN THE PRODUCT ITSELF.

THE FRONT AND REAR SUBFRAMES RUST AND CRACK.. IVE SEEN ONLINE WHERE NUMEROUS PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. I WAS JUST DRIVING THE OTHER DAY AND NOW IT SOUNDS LIKE THE WHEEL OR ENGINE IS EITHER FALLING OUT OR BUSTING THROUGH

I ROLLED THE JEEP AND NOT ALL THE AIR BAGS PROPERLY DEPLOYED. EVEN THE COP WAS SURPRISED. THE AIRBAG DID NOT COME OUT OF THE STEERING WHEEL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CONTACT HEARD LOUD ABNORMAL NOISES COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDERGOING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FRONT FRAME CROSSMEMBERS HAD CORRODED AND FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. A UNKNOWN DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER IS FAILING AND THE SENSORS ARE COMING ON. IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED ,I AM LOSING POWER IN MY VEHICLE WHICH IS DANGEROUS ON THE HIGHWAY. I SAW ON THE NEWS THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR 2011 JEEP PATRIOT WHICH I HAVE BUT MY VIN NUMBER SHOWS ITS NOT ON THE LIST. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, A CLUNKING SOUND WAS HEARD UNDER THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED THAT THE SUBFRAME ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WAS SEVERELY RUSTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SAFE TO BE DRIVEN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE . THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 81,395.

81367 MILES AND THE SUBFRAME HAS ROTTED OUT. CAR HAS BEEN USED FOR NORMAL USE... NO OFF ROADING. I AHVE ONLY OWNED THIS CAR FOR 6 YEARS.

CAR HAS 81367 MILES ON IT, 2011 JEEP PATRIOT AND THE SUB FRAME HAS ROTTED AND THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. IT HAS NOT BEEN USED FOR OFF ROADING, JUST NORMAL DRIVING. VERY DISAPPOINTED, SINCE I HAVE ONLY OWNED THIS CAR FOR 6 YEARS.

DRIVING ALONG AND LOSE OF POWER IN THE TRANSMISSION. GOT IT PARKED AND NOW IT WONT GO. DIDNT HAVE A LOUD NOISE OR ANY WARNING. IT JUST WOULDNT GO.

YOU NEED TO RECALL THE TRANSMISSIONS IN THESE VEHICLES ITS RIDICULOUS HOW EXPENSIVE THEY ARE NO NORMAL PERSON CAN AFFORD THIS FIX. NOBODY IN WAYNE COUNTY EVEN WANTS TO WORK ON IT. O CANT AFFORD A NEW TRANSMISSION. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR. IT'S ONLY AT 120K . I LOVE MY JEEP. BUT IT IS NOTHING BUT STRESS AND DEPRESSION. IT IS NOT RIGHT MAN.

WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY WITH MY SON IN THE CAR, THE CAR SHUDDERED, LOST ALL POWER AND THE POWERING STEERING MUST HAVE GONE AS I COULD ONLY TURN THE WHEEL WITH EXTREME FORCE ENOUGH TO COAST OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. CAR THEN CRANKED BUT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. DROVE SLOWLY HOME. WAS TAKING THE VERY NEXT MORNING TO HAVE SERVICE DONE AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS THERE IS NO WAY TO NOTIFY THE CARS BEHIND YOU THAT YOU HAVE NO POWER OR CONTROL. THIS TURNED OUT TO BE THE CRANK SHAFT POSITION SENSOR WHICH I HAVE READ IS A COMMON ISSUE AND THE 2016 WAS RECALLED FOR THIS AS A CHURCH FRIEND TOLD ME ABOUT HIS. I'M WONDERING WITH THE SAFETY RISK INVOLVED WHY ONLY THE 2016 HAS BEEN RECALLED. MY FATHER IS A MECHANIC AND HE SAID HE HAS NEVER HAD A VEHICLE WITH THIS ISSUE.

SUB FRAME ROTTED OUT , LOWER A ARM CAME OFF ON DRIVER SIDE REAR .

THE REAR SUSPENSION IS RUSTED OUT SO BAD IT STARTED TO BREAK AND I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM DEALERSHIP 4 YEARS AGO AND A 2011 SHOULDNT RUST THAT BAD AND I HAVE READ OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THEY HAD TO REPLACE REAR SUSPENSION CROSSBAR DUE TO FULL RUST AND BREAKING AND IF IM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS ISSUE HOW MANY OTHER CARS SAME MAKE AND MODEL ARE EFFECTED BY THIS CAN WE PLEASE RECALL THIS ASAP SO WE CAN MAKE SURE NO OTHER CARS ARE AFFECTED BY THIS THE DATE IT WAS NOTICED IS THE DATE I PUT WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN THE CAR AUTO SHOP WOULDNT EVEN TOUCH MY ALIGNMENT CAUSE HE WAS SO SCARED MY REAR SUPSENSION CROSSBAR WOULD SHATTER WHEN HE TOOK IT OFF CAUSE ITS THAT RUSTED PLEASE HELP ME GET THIS ISSUE FIX

PROBLEM RECURRING ON HIGHWAY AND CITY STREETS. AT ALL SPEEDS FROM IDLE TO 75 MPH. THE LATEST WAS ON HIGHWAY DRIVING 75 MPH CAR DROPPED DOWN TO 30 MPH AND THEN STALLED CAUSING ME TO LOSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKING AND ALMOST AN ACCIDENT. THE PROBLEM IS WELL KNOWN TO THE JEEP MANUFACTURER AS STATED BY DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THE THROTTLE BODY/ SOFTWARE IS THE ISSUE AND OCCURES IN MODELS FROM 2008 - CURRENT THEN VERBALLY QUOTED ME $650 FOR REPAIR. I THEN RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND MORE THAN 2500 PEOPLE WITH THE ISSUE AND THAT'S JUST PEOPLE LOOKING FOR HELP.

WE HAVE HAD THREE INCIDENTS SO FAR OF OUR 2011 JEEP PATRIOT LOSING SIGNIFICANT POWER AND STRUGGLING TO ACCELERATE. THE FIRST INVOLVED OVERHEATING ON A MOUNTAIN ROAD AFTER A LONG ROAD TRIP. ALLOWING THE CAR TO REST ALLOWED US TO MAKE IT TO OUR DESTINATION WITH NO FURTHER SYMPTOMS DURING THE REMAINDER OF OUR TRIP. TWICE IN THE LAST WEEK RPMS DROP UNLESS BURYING THE ACCELERATOR INTO THE FLOOR, AT WHICH POINT THERE IS A LOUD WHINING SOUND WITH LITTLE TO SHOW IN TERMS OF SPEED. WE HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO GET THE SPEED OVER 55 MPH ON A HIGHWAY WITH A SPEED LIMIT OF 70. WE ALSO LOSE THE ABILITY TO ADJUST THE GEAR MANUALLY. AFTER EXITING THE HIGHWAY THE CAR CONTINUES TO BE SLOW TO GAIN SPEED AT LIGHTS, AND WORSE MAKING IT UPHILL TO OUR HOME, EVEN AT 25 MPH. AFTER RESTING THE ISSUE SUBSIDES UNTIL RETURNING WITHOUT WARNING. SEARCHING GOOGLE FOR "JEEP CVT FAILURE" YIELDS DOZENS OF RESULTS FOR JEEP PATRIOT AND COMPASS, AS WELL AS OTHER VEHICLES USING THE SAME JATCO CVT TRANSMISSION. THIS FAILURE MAKES THE VEHICLE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ON THE HIGHWAY, AND THE "SOLUTION" TO THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE TO CONTINUALLY REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AT A COST $5000 PER INCIDENT TO THE OWNER WITH THE SAME FLAWED PRODUCT. I SHUDDER TO THINK WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF MY SPEED CUT OUT ON ME WHILE OVERTAKING A FREIGHT TRUCK, OR MAKING A LEFT ACROSS TRAFFIC ON A BUSY STREET. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER, AND LET'S GET JATCO TO AT LEAST SWAP OUT THE TRANSMISSION FOR A RECONDITIONED ONE WHEN THESE FAILURES OCCUR.

I BOUGHT THE PATRIOT NEW AND IT WAS TAKEN IN FOR REGULAR SERVICE AND NEVER GAVE ANY WARNING BEFORE EXPERIENCING CRITICAL PROBLEMS WHILE DRIVING. ON 2 OCCASIONS THE PATRIOT LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING, LEAVING ME IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION IN BUSY TRAFFIC. THE FIRST TIME I WAS TOLD THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. YESTERDAY I WAS DRIVING IN ON A BUSY CITY STREET WHEN THE JEEP NO LONGER ACCELERATED ACCOMPANIED BY A LOUD POPPING SOUND. NOW I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION ON A CARE WITH 91,000 MILES. THERE HAVE ALSO BEEN RECURRENT OVERHEATING PROBLEMS THE REPAIR SHOP CANNOT EXPLAIN. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING A JEEP PATRIOT.

TAKATA RECALL I AM PREGNANT AND JEEP CAN NOT OFFER ME ANY SAFETY RESOLUTION,I COULD GET INTO A ACCIDENT AND KILLYSELF AMDY CHILD I FEEL SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE .ALSO MY FRONT AND BACK SUBFRAM IS TOTALLY RUSTED OUT AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME FOR A WHOLE LOT OF OTHER THINGS TO DO SOMETHING WITH THIS. HELP PLEASE I NEED TO FEEL SAFE IN MY VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, AN UNUSUAL NOISE WAS HEARD UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AUTOLAND CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (800-288-6526, LOCATED AT 170 US-22, SPRINGFIELD TOWNSHIP, NJ 07081) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CROSS MEMBER WAS ROTTED OUT AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 155,212.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE CAR WILL LUNGE FORWARD THEN DECELERATE. HARD TO ACCELERATE. EVEN WHILE CRUISE CONTROL IS ON IT WILL LUNGE OR HESITATE. THE ENGINE LIGHT ALSO NEVER GOES OFF EVEN WHEN I HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM.

VEHICLE WILL STALL WHILE IN OPERATION AND THE MOTOR WILL COMPLETELY STOP AND THE STEERING WILL LOCK-UP. A SENSOR IS BEING TRIGGERED REFERRED TO AS A "CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR". WAS TOLD THAT THIS SENSOR NEEDED BE REPLACED AS WELL AS THE WIRING HARNESS THAT GOES TO THE SENSOR. JEEP IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT THIS SEROUS SAFETY ISSUE AND IS PLACING THE LABOR AND COST OF REPAIR ON ME THE "CONSUMER". THERE APPEARS TO BE SOME HISTORY OF THIS HAPPENING WITH OTHER VARIOUS YEARS OF THIS SAME VEHICLE AND THEY NEED TO DO A RECALL FOR ALL VEHICLES. MY VEHICLE WAS BEING DIAGNOSED FOR 10 HOURS AND STILL WASN'T REPAIRED BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS ALSO HAPPENS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IDLE AND RANDOMLY WON'T START ON OCCASION. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON NOW FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AND AFFECTS THE RPMS, WHICH BOUNCE FROM AROUND 4,000 TO 2,000 AND THE OVERALL FUEL CONSUMPTION. I HAVE BEEN GETTING HORRIBLE FUEL MILEAGE BECAUSE OF THIS. IT ALSO HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE FACTORY INSTALLED AUTO-START, WHICH WON'T WORK BECAUSE OF THESE NON-FUNCTIONING SENSORS.

INVOLVED IN REAR END COLLISION 11/16/18. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN HIT FROM THE REAR AT 20-30 MPH. ACTIVE HEADREST SYSTEM DEPLOYED ON THE DRIVERS SEAT BUT FAILED TO DEPLOY ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS NOT ILLUMINATED SHOWING A DEPLOYMENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP. ON SOME OCCASIONS, THERE WAS A LOSS OF POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE PERFORMED AS INTENDED. THE MECHANIC WAS NOT ABLE TO RETRIEVE A FAULT CODE OR DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. WEST HILLS CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (900 W HILLS BLVD, BREMERTON, WA 98312, (360) 616-3275) WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

WHILE TRAVELING GOING DOWN THE ROAD UNDER VERY COMMON CONDITIONS AS FAR AS SMOOTHNESS OF ROAD, THE PASSENGER SEAT HEADREST DEPLOYED ALL OF A SUDDEN. I UNDERSTAND FROM READING ONLINE ARTICLES ABOUT THIS PART, THIS IS TO HAPPEN DURING AN ACCIDENT. HOWEVER, I ALSO READ THAT MANY HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE WITH HEADREST DEPLOYING UNDER NORMAL DRIVING SITUATIONS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION IF IT WERE TO HAPPEN IN THE DRIVERS SEAT.

DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS, CAR WAS UNDER BRAKING, WHEN A LOUD BANG WAS HEARD. IMMEDIATELY AFTER, FREQUENT POPPING/ BANGING WAS HEARD FROM THE FRONT END. AFTER JACKING THE CAR UP AND LOOKING FOR THE SOURCE OF THE NOISE, IT WAS NOTICED THAT THE FRONT FRAME CROSSMEMBER SUBFRAME CRADLE HAD RUSTED SEVERELY ENOUGH THAT IT BROKE WHERE THE FONT SUSPENSION CONNECTS TO IT. VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE NOW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE FRONT TIRES WERE WORN AND THREE SETS OF FRONT TIRES HAD TO BE PURCHASED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE FRONT END OF THE LOWER CONTROL ARM BUSHING WAS DETERIORATED. IN ADDITION, WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE PULLED TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT AND THE CONTACT HAD TO STRAIGHTEN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 126,967.

SUB FRAME HAS ROTTED OUT TO THE POINT ITS FALLING APART. YOU CAN LITERALLY START TO HEAR IT CRACKING. THIS IS IN A CAR THAT IS A "GROCERY GETTER" THAT IS STORED IN A GARAGE AT ALL TIMES WITH 73,000 MILES ON IT. VERY UNSAFE AND COULD EASILY KILL SOMEONE.

2011 JEEP PATRIOT WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW SEPT 2011. JUST HAD IT IN THE SHOP AS SOMETHING WAS NOT RIGHT AND CAUSING OUR TIRE TO WEAR UNEVENLY. THEIR INSPECTION FOUND THE SUB FRAME IS NOW ROTTED OUT DUE TO RUST AFTER ONLY 6 YEARS! THIS VEHICLE HAS ALSO BEEN VERY WELL MAINTAINED. THIS IS BULL CRAP. THANK GOD WE NOTICED OURS BEFORE SOMETHING CATASTROPHIC HAPPENED, BUT THIS HAS VERY REAL POTENTIAL TO CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATHS IF THE FRAME WERE TO FAIL WHILE DRIVING. AND THERE ARE TONS AND TONS OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS EVERYWHERE ONLINE. CHRYSLER JUST DOESN'T WANT TO DEAL WITH IT. TOTAL BULL CRAP. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT FIXED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRENTY THAT WAS PUT IN PLACE BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE, AND OF COURSE THEY SAY THERE ARE LOTS OF OTHER PARTS THAT ARE CONNECTED TO THE SUB FRAME THAT ALSO NEED TO BE REPLACED WHICH ARE NOT COVERED. SO BASICALLY THIS 6 YEAR OLD CAR ISN'T WORTH FIXING. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. THERE WERE ALSO OTHER SAFETY RECALLS FOR THIS SAME MODEL.

TAKATA RECALL: I HAD A REPAIR DONE TO MY JEEP PATRIOT TWO WEEKS AGO. THE REPAIRS WERE OVER 800$. I HAD TO HAVE THE TWO FRONT CONTROL ARMS, BALL JOINTS, AND TIE RODS REPLACED. AS I WAS DRIVING TO WORK, I LOST STEERING AND NOW NOT ABLE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE.

TOOK IT TO GET SOME REGULAR MAINTENANCE DONE AND WAS TOLD THE SUBFRAME WAS ROTTED AND BE CAREFUL DRIVING. WAS TOLD IT WAS IN A SPOT THAT WAS UNUSUAL PLACE TO RUST OUT AND TO CONTACT CHRYSLER TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL, THERE IS NOT

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE CAR WANTING TO STALL OUT. IT IS AS IF THE GAS IS NOT GETTING TO THE ENGINE. I BEGIN TO LOSE POWER AND STEERING. I GUN THE GAS, BUT IT HESTITATES. THIS IS HUGELY DANGEROUS. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND HAVE SERVICED IT REGULARLY, AND TO THIS DAY ONLY ABOUT 44K ON IT. THIS IS SCARING ME. MY MECHANIC JUST PUT DRY GAS IN TO PERHAPS ALLEVIATE ANY POSSIBLE WATER IN THE TANK AFTER A RECENT FILL-UP. I HAVE BEEN READING OF MANY OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS TIME FOR A RECALL, FOLKS. HAD I NOT BEEN ON BACK ROADS, I COULD BE DEAD, AS COULD OTHERS. I WILL NOT DRIVE THIS ON THE HIGHWAY AND I NEED ACTIONS, AS DO MANY OTHERS WHO HAVE COMPLAINED. WE HAVE WAY TOO MANY JEEPS WITH THIS PROBLEM. STEP UP, PLEASE.

GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE ENGINE STALLED. GAVE NO WARNING JUST SHUT OFF. I HAD MY HUSBAND AND 8 MONTH OLD IN THE CAR. THE ENGINE DID START BACK UP.

HI THERE, I AM EXPERIENCING A STRANGE ISSUE, WHERE MY PATRIOT WILL SHAKE/VIBRATE REALLY BAD WHEN IN DRIVE AND SITTING IDLE (LIKE AT A RED LIGHT WITH THE FOOT ON THE BRAKE). IF I PLACE IT IN PARK, NEUTRAL OR START DRIVING THE HEAVY VIBRATION GOES AWAY.MOTOR MOUNTS OK, I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR BEFORE BUT IS BEEN REPLACED. ANYONE ELSE HAVING A SIMILAR ISSUE, OR HAVE ANY INSIGHT? I HAVE A 2007 JEEP PATRIOT LIMITED WITH ABOUT 80K

WHEN I PRESS ON THE GAS TO ACCELERATE MY VEHICLR STALLS AND DOES NOT MOVE THEN JERKS VERY QUICKLY FLYING MY CAR FORWARD. I WAS TOLD I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION AT 115,000 MILES. JEEP HAS KNOWLEDGE OF THE EARLY CVT TRANSMISSION FAILURES AND WILL NOT REPLACE THEM. VERY UNSAFE.

REQUESTED A TOTAL OF $5,102.35 FOR DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIRS FOR A WELL-DOCUMENTED FAULTY CVT TRANSMISSION WHICH STARTED FAILING AFTER AROUND 90K MILES, DESPITE TAKING EXCELLENT CARE OF THE VEHICLE.

FAULTY IRREPARABLE CVT TRANSMISSION WHICH GAVE OUT ON ME ON A NOTORIOUSLY HIGH-TRAFFIC FREEWAY. RECURRING ISSUE AMONG JEEP PATRIOT OWNERS. JEEP FINALLY STOPPED USING THIS FAULTY TRANSMISSION IN THEIR 2014 MODELS.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE ENGINE DIED WHILE I WAS TRAVELING AT 75MPH. PRIOR TO THE ENGINE DYING THERE WEREN'T ANY ISSUES. IT SIMPLY STOPPED RUNNING AND I HAD TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER. ONCE STOPPED I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND THEN RESTARTED WITHOUT AN ISSUE. THEN THE ENGINE DIED A SECOND TIME AS I WAS MERGING WITH TRAFFIC. AFTER I PULLED OVER AGAIN I WENT THROUGH THE START UP PROCESS AND I WAS ABLE TO GET TO WORK. WHILE OUT AT LUNCH THE ENGINE DIED AGAIN WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA. THIS ISSUE JUST STARTED TODAY AND IT HAS ME HESITANT TO DRIVE, BUT THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE. I PLAN TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW, BUT I'VE BEEN READING OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE AND THE DEALERSHIP TELLING THEM THAT THEY CANNOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM. SO I'M TRYING NOT TO GET MY HOPES UP.

WE HAVE BEEN HAVING A RE-OCCURRING ISSUE WHERE AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK, THE CAR WILL STALL SHORTLY AFTER LEAVING THE GAS STATION. THE LATEST INCIDENT HAPPENED ON MAY 6, 2018 AFTER FILLING THE TANK AND LETTING THE PUMP'S AUTO-SHUTOFF STOP FUELING. LEAVING THE GAS STATION I PULLED OUT INTO A HIGH-SPEED 4 LANE ROAD AND AS I ACCELERATED THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN. AS A RESULT OF THE STALL I IMMEDIATELY LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKING ABILITY AND WAS ALMOST STRUCK BY CARS BEHIND ME AS WE ALL EXPECTED ME TO BE ABLE TO ACCELERATE UP TO CRUISING SPEED. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RE-START THE ENGINE. AFTER THIS INITIAL STALL, THE CAR RAN NORMALLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES, WITH EACH ENGINE STALL OCCURRING SHORTLY AFTER REFUELING. THE IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED IMMEDIATELY.

I FILLED MY GAS TANK UP TODAY. AS I GOT ABOUT 3 MILES FROM THE GAS STATION THE CAR BEGAN TO SPUTTER AND LOSE ITS ABILITY TO ACCELERATE EFFICIENTLY THROUGH ALL THE GEARS. THE CAR WAS RUNNING ROUGH FOR ABOUT 15 MILES UNTIL I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY, AND BEGAN MAKING A WEIRD SOUND OUT OF THE EXHAUST, STILL IDLING ROUGH WHEN PARKED. I LOOKED INTO IT ONLINE AND MANY JEEP PATRIOT OWNERS ARE COMPLAINING OF SIMILAR ISSUES AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS. THEY;RE SAYING IT'S AN ISSUE WITH A "FUEL TANK ROLLOVER VALVE" OR A "VAPOR LIQUID SEPARATING VALVE." EITHER WAY THIS ISSUE IS DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED WITH A RECALL OF THE VEHICLES TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THEIR OPERATORS IN THE FUTURE.

MY JEEP PATRIOT 2011, WAS DRIVING PERFECTLY FINE, I STARTED IT UP ONE SATURDAY AFTERNOON 2 WEEKS 1 DAY AGO, WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET 15 MINUTES INTO MY DRIVE, THE JEEP IMMEDIATELY STOPPED ACCELERATING. THE ENGINE LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, AND THE OTHER ONE WITH SQUIGGLY LINES AND BRACKETS WITH AN EXCLAMATION MARK, CAME ON 30 SECONDS AFTER IT JUST STOPPED ACCELERATING. I HAD TO CAUTIOUSLY TURN INTO A PARKING LOT, AND I TURNED OFF THE CAR. I LOOKED AT THE MANUAL, AND COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT WOULD BE WRONG. I THEN LOOKED AT GOOGLE, AND SAW THAT ALOT OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON, AND TRIED TO DRIVE IT, IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, AND WOULD ONLY GO APPROXIMATELY 5KM/H AT BEST. SO I HAD TO HAVE A TOW TRUCK COME PICK UP MY JEEP AND TAKE IT TO A SHOP. I HAVE NOW HAD 3 SHOPS TAKE A LOOK AT IT. THE FIRST SHOP REPLACED THE TCM (TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE), AND SAID IT WOULD FIX IT. WHEN THE PART CAME IN AND IT WAS PUT INTO THE JEEP. IT DIDN'T FIX IT. SAME ISSUES, ABSOLITELY NO HELP. THEY TOOK ANOTHER LOOK AT IT, AND THEY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. COSTING ME 1000.00 FOR THE PART, AND THEIR LABOUR. THEN I TOWED IT TO 2 OTHER SHOPS. THEY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WAS WRONG WITH IT EITHER. COSTING ME 500$ AT BOTH PLACES WITH NO HELP, AND MY JEEP STILL CURRENTLY WILL NOT RUN!!! I AM WITHOUT A CAR. MY JEEP ONLY HAS 80,000 KM ON IT!!! AND I STILL OWE 3.5 YEARS WORTH OF PAYMENTS ON IT! BUT IT CANNOT BE FIXED!!!??? NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT!!! NOT EVEN A JEEP/DODGE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP SERVICES CENTER!!!

CAR ENGINE CUTS OUT WHILE STATIONARY OR TRYING TO START MOVING. STEERING WHEEL AND SHIFTER LOCKS UP. THEN TYPICALLY RESTARTS RIGHT AWAY. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THENS COMES ON, BUT NOTHING SHOWS UP WHEN RUNNING DIAGNOSTICS. VERY SCARED THIS WILL HAPPEN TO ME WHILE GOING 70 ON A HIGHWAY. I COULD EASILY BE HIT. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AMONG THIS TYPE OF CAR.

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK FULL, THE ENGINE STALLS AND HESITATES FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS AFTER FIRST STARTING THE ENGINE BACK UP AFTER THE FILLING OF THE TANK. IT CAUSES MY ENGINE TO COMPLETELY STOP WORKING AND I HAVE TO TURN THE KEY OFF AND RESTART THE ENGINE. I HAVE STALLED OUT IN TRAFFIC CAUSING THE CHANCE FOR AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAPPENS AS I TURN THE CAR BACK ON AND BEGIN DRIVING RIGHT AFTER FILLING THE TANK FULL OF GAS.

CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR A FAULTED ON THE HIGHWAY. UNABLE TO TURN STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT AND SPEED DIDN'T GO ABOVE 40 MPH. ENGINE SHUT OFF DURING THE EVENT AS WELL.

THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF EARLY TRANSMISSION FAILURE, EVEN WITH WITH NORMAL SERVICING. ISSUES START WITH A WHINING NOISE, OVERHEAT WARNINGS, AND AN INABILITY TO ACCELERATE. THE MOST COMMON SOLUTION IS REPLACEMENT OF THE TRANSMISSION. LATE 2014 MODEL YEAR PATRIOTS CHANGED TO A NON-CVT TRANSMISSION. AFTER REPLACING ORIGINAL CVT TRANSMISSION FOR $2,500 IT FAILED AGAIN WITHIN 6 MONTHS. THE JEEP IS UNDRIVE-ABLE. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THE CVT TRANSMISSION. MY JEEP IS UNDRIVE-ABLE AND STILL OWE $5900 WHILE IT SITS IN THE DRIVEWAY!! TRANSMISSION SLIPS WHILE DRIVING AND JEEP STALLS MAKING IT EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. INTERNET FORUMS HAVE COUNTLESS COMPALINTS ABOUT THESE CVT TRANSMISSIONS WITH SAME SYMPTOMS!!

HAD TO REPLACE REAR LINKAGE..2 TIRES WORN PAST USE AS WELL... YEAR AND A HALF LATER..SAME THING...NOT A HAPPY JEEP OWNER.

CVT TRANSMISSION JUMPS OUT OF GEAR, HAS TROUBLE GOING INTO GEAR. JUMPS FROM AUTOMATIC TO MANUAL ON ITS OWN. DOES NOT ALWAYS STAY IN GEAR WHEN SHUT DOWN. TRANSMISSION ULTIMATELY FAILED AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

TAKATA RECALL , I LEAVE IN PUERTO RICO AND I DON'T HAVE OPTION IN PUERTO RICO TO REPLACE THIS ASUMPTION OF THE RECALL. I RECEIVED A LETTER OF THIS RECALL YESTERDAY.

TAKATA RECALL- I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL FLASHING ON WHILE I'M DRIVING. IT HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY FOR A FEW WEEKS, AND NOW IT WON'T GO AWAY. IT CAUSES ME TO LOSE THE ABILITY TO SHIFT MY VEHICLE HIGHER THAN 3RD GEAR, AND I CAN'T ACCELERATE AT AN APPROPRIATE SPEED. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN I START MY VEHICLE MORE OFTEN THAN NOT, ALTHOUGH IT HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE FIRST TIME IT OCCURRED, I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, AND IT CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO LOSE POWER FOR ACCELERATION, PUTTING MY SON AND I IN A POTENTIAL SITUATION FOR A HIGH SPEED ACCIDENT.
