What owners report
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.
