2009 Jeep Patriot Engine Problems

“Jeep stutters and stalls out immediately upon filling tank with gas, almost got hit many times pulling out of gas station, this needs to be addressed, it is deadly and many other people on various forums have reported same problem. Nhtsa needs to stop overlooking this issue. It is a common vehicle still on the road today and I have no plans to get rid of the car for at least another 5 years minimum. Recall this issue, it is deadly and dangerous and I will not be a statistic.”

“12/12/19 tried to get on I-295 all lights on dash came on including malfunction indicator, esp bas, and others all came on when no lights were on before. Lost power to Jeep on 295 could not go any fast then 25 MPH and then stalled; almost rear ended. Could restart Jeep, all dash lights still on, no power past 25 MPH and made it off an off ramp where stalled again. Towed Jeep to mechanic where they replaced PCM, intake manifold, and o2 censor. Called Jeep because there is a recall to PCM and was told my VIN not included. …”

“While pulling out and driving down a parking ramp the engine code lamp illuminated. The vehicle continue to run and I proceeded home. While entering the freeway from an onramp I noted the vehicle would not accelerate normally. The engine RPM would max at 5000 RPM and the vehicle would not gain speed. Later code retrieval noted a obd ii code of p0017. By the time I made the appointment for inspection the code reset and turned off. This same code as recurred and reset up to 6 times. The dealership would not troubleshoot the incident with the code not being present.”

“When accelerating the car occassionally would act like it wanted to go, then slowly start to shift to move. There would be a whining noise when slowing down, but no lights came on until 2 days before. The check engine light came on and the car stopped moving while I was driving down a rural road 2 days later. . 105k miles. . Regularly serviced. .”

“Vehicle stalls out while driving down the road without any warning...it has happened four times now. Sometimes it will restart but usually not and needed to be towed. After swiping it and checking codes it resets and functions normal again and the problem can not be found...but it keeps happening and I keep getting charged for a technicians time that keeps on finding nothing.”
