2013 Jeep Patriot Fuel system Problems

“The throttle body. I was entering the highway went to accelerate and it would not move just stuttered. A mack truck was speeding along luckily there was no one in the high-speed lane so he could swerve around me and beep at me I had to drive to the next exit doing 20mph in the breakdown lane and get it to my garage which was two towns over. Every time I had to stop at a light then accelerate it would stutter and only go to 20mph. The throttle light would come on then go off. …”

“Raw gasoline fumes seems to be entering through air vents while vehicle is in operation, and fan is in use. I was leaving a convenience store when patrons in the parking lot waved me down to tell me they smelled fuel from my vehicle. I quickly exited from the lot to get the vehicle away from the store and fuel pumps. I didn't buy fuel at that visit. The local police department around the corner has an open lot, so I had an officer come out and a fireman relative stop in to make sure the vehicle wasn't going to combust. …”

“Since I bought car in february of 2018, immensely they had to replace the rear ended and tie rods. I have always noticed how loose the steering is and if I drive in a groove in road the car would automatically go into that groove.

Now the Jeep is chugging severely when I am at a complete stop and place gas to go again. It acts like fuel system is messing up and/or continuous transmission is messed up. …”

“After filling the vehicle with a 'fill up', upon starting and driving, the vehicle began to start 'bucking' and lose power to accelerate. I looked this up and see many people with this same problem that either do not fill their tanks all the way anymore or corrected it by replacing their tank since they say this is a flaw in the design when fuel gets pulled into a canister or container that is supposed to push out vapor build up only, but pulls fuel back in and chokes out. Don't know if I am correct on this language since only going by what other people post. …”

“The CVT fluid filler tube broke where the braket is, about 12 inches broke off. Dont know how long its been broken, I found it when I was changing the Electronic Throttle Body. This has happened to a lot of autos in the Chrysler family. Go to any Chrysler auto forum, I guarantee this will be something that has happened to 1 if not more people. Just google broken cvt fluid filler tube and it will all come up. This has to be a manufacture defect. Happening to too many people. They break at the same place, the bracket, no warning light indicator....nothing! …”
