Example complaints
Fuel system: “Maybe 5 minutes after refueling my gas tank, the car will unexpectedly lose power and shut off. It is difficult to restart. I end up sitting in the middle of busy roads unable to restart my car or pull to the side of the road. I have googled this issue and found numerous other people with jeeps have had this problem. Very dangerous. Took it to a mechanic who believes it is a faulty rollover valve/sensor.”
NHTSA complaint #11011761, filed 2017-07, 130,000 milesBody and structure: “I started noticing a damp/moisture type of smell in my Jeep and thought it may just be the vents from having heat/AC on! But then started finding a little water on my passenger side floor mat and seat! Just a few drops and thought maybe just from opening the window! It kept happening and happening every time it rained and snowed! Then I noticed water dripping from the passenger side window pillar next to windshield and realized it was leaking! I called Jeep and they told me I have to pay for it even though I'm under warranty! …”
NHTSA complaint #10507148, filed 2013-04, 26,000 milesElectronic stability control: “Ever since I had tires put on, the seals leak and I was told it was an issue with Jeep patriot rims. Electronic throttle control randomly comes on and the car wont go, I have to pull over and restart (intermittent problem over several months) now the the electronic stability control malfunction light came on and wont go over 20mph. Ive read several complaints. Why no recalls on this?!?!?”

As I was driving on I-70 from my hospital job in the morning rush commute, my patriot decided to drop speed from 70 MPH to 30 MPH on a blink of an eye. This time since I was alone just putting me in danger unlike the last time in 2013 when it happen that my 11 year old and 1 year old baby were on board. …”
