What owners report
JUST OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY MY WIFE'S 2007 PATRIOT 2.4L STARTED TO FAIL TO START. IT WAS VERIFIED THAT IT WAS NOT THE BATTERY, PCV VALVE, STARTER, OR A FUEL ISSUE. IT WOULD SIMPLY NOT START WHEN LEFT IN THE SUN (IN SUCH AS A PARKING LOT). ALL OF THE ACCESSORIES WORKED. IT WAS TOWED TO THREE DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS ON SEPARATE OCCASIONS. NO ONE COULD FIGURE IT OUT. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND RECEIVED A COMPLAINT NUMBER. CHRYSLER REIMBURSED ME FOR THE THINGS THE DEALERSHIPS CHARGED ME TO REPLACE AND EVENTUALLY SAID THAT THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT AND COULDN'T FIX THE CAR. THE SHOCKS ALSO FAILED PREMATURELY AT 40 THOUSAND MILES, AND THE CV JOINTS ARE SEALED UNITS AND FAILED PREMATURE
MY CHILDREN AND I WERE DRIVING 75 MPH ON THE FREEWAY WHEN MY JEEP PATRIOT RANDOMLY SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING, THE THE VEHICLE GAVE NO INDICATION WHATSOEVER THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE IT JUST STOP, THE CARS BEHIND US STARTED TO STEAM ON THEIR BRAKES RUNNING OFF THE ROAD, WE HAD TO DRIVE OFF THE SIDE OFF THE ROAD TO PREVENT GETTING HIT. IT'S WAS SO TERRIFYING . THE POLICE CAME AND WANTED TO GIVE US A TICKET FOR WRECK LESS OPERPERATION OF A VEHICLE AND THOUGH I WAS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF SOMETHING. I BEGAN TO CRY. IT TOOK 10 MINUTES TO RESTART CAR. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN A COUPLE HOURS LATER WITH NO WARNING. WHEN WE GOT BACK FROM OUR TRIP WE TOOK IT TO FORD MARSHALL, NICK MAYER IN MAYFIELD OHIO .
MY DAUGHTER'S JEEP HAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY DUE TO THE RUST AND HOLES IN THE JEEP'S CROSSMEMBERS. THE GAVE ME AS REFERENCE X58. SHE NEEDS THEM REPLACED AS THERE ARE LARGE HOLES IN THEM, BUT THE DEALERSHIP TOLD HER IF THEY COULDN'T GET IT OFF THEY WOULD HAVE TO CUT OTHER PARTS AND SHE WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF THE PARTS AND LABOR (APPROXIMATELY $400) WHICH THE DEALERSHIP SAID IS TYPICAL. I'VE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE AT JEEP AND THEY SAID SHE WOULD FIRST HAVE TO HAVE THE WORK DONE AND THEN IF THERE WAS A CHARGE THEY WOULD "CONSIDER" HELPING. SO SHE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR FIRST. THIS HARDLY SEEMS RIGHT. IS THERE ANY RECOURSE?
AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK THE CAR REPEATEDLY STALLS. IT IS NOT BEING OVER-FILLED. NOT HUMAN ERROR. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. STALLS IN TRAFFIC - NO WARNING. JUST QUITS. REPEATEDLY. NUMEROUS TRIPS TO THE DEALER AND LOTS OF MONEY SPENT AND IT WAS NOT REPAIRED. COMPLAINED TO CHRYSLER WHO RECOMMENDED WE TAKE IT TO ANOTHER DEALER. WE DID. THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK HAD TO BE REPLACED. MECHANICS FAMILIAR WITH THE PROBLEM. NHTSA SITE DOCUMENTS 35 REPORTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM. 16 REPORTS IN 2016. NUMEROUS ALSO IN THE 2008 JEEP. THERE NEEDS TO BE AN INVESTIGATION INTO WHY NO RECALL RECOMMENDED.
AFTER FUELING WITH GAS, MY VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY STALLED. IT WAS THEN FINE AFTER I RESTARTED IT UNTIL I GOT TO A ROUNDABOUT WHERE IT STALLED AGAIN, LOSING ALL POWER STEERING, BRAKES, POWER, SPEED, IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. IT WAS FINE FOR A WEEK AFTER THIS UNTIL I GOT GAS AGAIN, IN WHICH CASE, I WAS JUST ABOUT TO ENTER THE INTERSTATE WHEN IT STALLED AGAIN, LOSING ALL OF THE BASIC FUNCTIONS AGAIN IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC WHERE I HAD TO SIT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR 20 MINUTES WHILE MY VEHICLE RAN AND STALLED REPEATEDLY UNTIL IT WORKED ITSELF OUT. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE HAD I ALREADY BEEN ON THE INTERSTATE. THIS IS A DEFINITE ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSL
