Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“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 miles

“Vehicle in motion - cut off/loss of power when accelerating from ramp onto busy highway with my 2 year old in vehicle [cause unknown, vehicle is not throwing any codes] vehicle in going from stationary to in motion - when going to make a left turn out of a shopping center car staled with me and my 2 year old in it, with on coming traffic. Quickly put car in park, car would not start, had a long start, electrical system freaked out, I could not stop it by turning off the key, key wouldnt move. …”

NHTSA complaint #11172810, filed 2019-01, 108,000 miles

“Whenever I put a full tank of gas in my car, my car stalls out. One time, I just left the gas station and it stalled and then when I went to get food, it stalled out again. I've heard of other people that have patriots, it happens to them. My car was in drive and it also happened when I was stopped with my foot on the brakes. One time it happened when my patriot was in parked. It's very dangerous because if someone was turning, they won't be able to since the wheel locks so you can't turn it. …”

NHTSA complaint #11184749, filed 2019-03, 75,000 miles

“I've made a complaint already but my 2010 Jeep patriot again stalled out after getting a full tank of gas and driving off, luckily still at the gas station and when I was getting coffee for my 3 and a half hour drive to school, it stalled out 3 more times when I am in drive. I was scared it was going to stall out on me while I'm driving for the whole drive. It's very dangerous because the steering wheel is locked and what if it happened when I am on the road and there is a car behind me? I could get rear ended. Many people are having the same issue with the patriot.”

NHTSA complaint #11187425, filed 2019-03, 76,000 miles

“Upon refilling the gas tank to full from near empty, the car will immediately stutter and occasionally stall for up to five minutes. I discovered this upon pulling out into traffic and the engine turning off. This LED to loss of power steering as well. Other cars had to immediately divert or collide into my car. Upon restarting the car did this three more times within 2 miles. No emergency lights or warning lights go off. This is allegedly a fuel system problem and the engine is choking due to a faulty sensor. This has occurred three times now.”
