“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10447539, filed 2012-02“The clutch master cylinder in my vehicle has gone bad. The part has been ordered but it is on back order across the united states. It will take a week for the part to be made and received to complete the repair. According to my repair technician, when trying to locate this part, it has been determined that this is a problem in jeeps across the nation. I have contacted Jeep, and they are unwilling to look into or assist in the situation. My entire clutch system had to be replaced and the cost, at this point, is outrageous = $1315.92. …”
NHTSA complaint #10433500, filed 2011-10“The contact owns a 2007 Jeep Patriot Fwd. The contact stated that while driving 50 MPH she heard a loud noise. The vehicle was taken to a local mechanic who diagnosed that the lower driver's side arm was loose and as a result, the arm, tires and wheel barring needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was repaired. The failure and the current mileage was 55,000. The consumer stated the loud noise she heard was due to a problem with the transmission. The consumer has since traded the vehicle. Updated 07/17/12.”
