Example complaints

Suspension: “I am experiencing shaking in my steering (Jeep patriot 2007) I was told that I needed to replace my control arm. I did some research and found that this seems to be a problem that Jeep needs to address.I have had numerous alignments and tire replacements and that doesn't seem to help now I am greatly concerned about my safety. Will Jeep recall this problem before someone gets hurt?”

NHTSA complaint #10392994, filed 2011-03, 91,700 miles

Engine: “Car is stalling when stopped at a red light, or waiting to make a turn. It shakes violently and if it is not given gas immediately after shaking begins, engine will cut out. I have almost been hit because I have to turn the key and re-start the car. This happens every single day at least 5 times a day. I have brought it to the Jeep dealership twice and $900 later, they can not tell me what is wrong with my car. I have not noticed any change at all after having the car serviced.”

Body and structure: “When parked in my driveway, at a slight incline, in the rain, the car leaks rain. The water fills the rear ceiling lamp and then spills out into the back of the vehicle. When significant rainfall occurs, the well for the spare tire has filled with several inches of water. This has created a situation for mold to grow, a mildewy smell, and I have concern about the water in the lamp. Vehicle was brought to dealership after first occurance and was fixed , but during the next storm, it happened again. It's currently at the dealership awaiting repair for the second time. …”

Transmission and drivetrain: “My 2007 Jeep patriot 4wd classic has been stalling out on me constantly. Since I've purchased the vehicle I have experienced upwards of 5 full stall-outs at stop lights or stop signs and upwards of 50 surge like motions (feeling like it's close to stalling out on me) at stop lights and stop signs. Usually me and my passengers can feel it and as soon as I give it some gas the surge stops and everything is fine or the vehicle stalls completely. It sickens me to be paying for this fairly new vehicle and it's doing this.”
