Since i bought this in 2011 it has always idled rough and stalled randomly. apparently there is no fix for this random stalling and it has almost caused me to get in several car accidents and one time to crash on the sidewalk and almost harm pedestrians. unfortunately i think i will be forced to sell this vehicle.
5 or so minutes after filling up my car it completely shut off while i was in the middle of making a left hand turn in the right lane i was almost hit right on. this makes the 5th time this has happen.
Car shuts off qnd stops without warning everytime after filling tank with fuel... very dangerous on highway...
My catalytic converter is failing and the sensors are coming on. it needs to be replaced ,i am losing power in my vehicle which is dangerous on the highway. i saw on the news that there is a recall for 2011 jeep patriot which i have but my vin number shows its not on the list. how is this possible?
I have been experiencing the car wanting to stall out. it is as if the gas is not getting to the engine. i begin to lose power and steering. i gun the gas, but it hestitates. this is hugely dangerous. i am the original owner and have serviced it regularly, and to this day only about 44k on it. this is scaring me. my mechanic just put dry gas in to perhaps alleviate any possible water in the tank after a recent fill-up. i have been reading of many others having the same problem. this is time for a recall, folks. had i not been on back roads, i could be dead, as could others. i will not drive this on the highway and i need actions, as do many others who have complained. we have way too many jeeps with this problem. step up, please.
hi there, i am experiencing a strange issue, where my patriot will shake/vibrate really bad when in drive and sitting idle (like at a red light with the foot on the brake). if i place it in park, neutral or start driving the heavy vibration goes away.motor mounts ok, i have a problem with the crankshaft sensor before but is been replaced. anyone else having a similar issue, or have any insight? i have a 2007 jeep patriot limited with about 80k
I filled my gas tank up today. as i got about 3 miles from the gas station the car began to sputter and lose its ability to accelerate efficiently through all the gears. the car was running rough for about 15 miles until i pulled into my driveway, and began making a weird sound out of the exhaust, still idling rough when parked. i looked into it online and many jeep patriot owners are complaining of similar issues after filling up with gas. they;re saying it's an issue with a "fuel tank rollover valve" or a "vapor liquid separating valve." either way this issue is dangerous and needs to be addressed with a recall of the vehicles to ensure the safety of their operators in the future.
When filling the gas tank full, the engine stalls and hesitates for about 30 seconds after first starting the engine back up after the filling of the tank. it causes my engine to completely stop working and i have to turn the key off and restart the engine. i have stalled out in traffic causing the chance for an accident. this happens as i turn the car back on and begin driving right after filling the tank full of gas.
Takata recall- i am having problems with my electronic throttle control flashing on while i'm driving. it happened intermittently for a few weeks, and now it won't go away. it causes me to lose the ability to shift my vehicle higher than 3rd gear, and i can't accelerate at an appropriate speed. this problem occurs when i start my vehicle more often than not, although it has happened a few times while i was driving. the first time it occurred, i was driving on the freeway, and it caused my vehicle to lose power for acceleration, putting my son and i in a potential situation for a high speed accident.
I purchased this vehicle last fall in a private sale. the vehicle appeared to be in good condition and well taken care of. about two weeks after acquiring this vehicle, i was driving along the interstate on a 50 minute trip and the vehicle began to slow down despite being on cruise control. the transmission light came on and i pulled to the side of the road where i waited for 10 minutes and begain driving again. since this incident in the fall of 2016, the same thing has happened about 10-15 times-including today, a rainy 70 degree day driving the nearly flat route from lincoln to omaha nebraska. i understand jeep has come forward to say this is not a mountain traveling vehicle (very strange jeep because, well it's a trail rated jeep after all). not only is this a nuisance that i cannot drive my work route for 45 minutes without having to pull off of the road at least once but everytime i do, it puts me in a life jeopardizing situation on the side of the interstate where the speed limit is 75mph. this issue needs to be resolved by jeep. i know others are having similar issues because google was able to guess the problem after typing only the words "2011 jeep patriot." please address the problem, jeep, and make this right for everyone who continues to invest and support your (typically) wonderful products.
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 jeep patriot. after refueling the vehicle, it randomly stalled. the vehicle was to be inspected and diagnosed by a dealer. the vin was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 13v120000 (fuel system, gasoline). the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 65,200.
Everytime i refuel my vehicle, the engine stalls at least twice until the fuel needle is below the fuel mark. i don't overfill my vehicle, so i wonder why is this happening!
My patriot with 108k miles stalled at 75 mph on the highway 3x last night on a 3 hour drive. it also stalled 4x times today on my 10 min way to drop it off at the dealership. once while idling and 3x while driving at different speeds. once while i was turning. i've read online that this has been happening quite a bit to 2011 jeep patriots and even caused a car to be totalled. please investigate this.
I will be driving my jeep patriot and it will just stall out. i have to wait for a while and it starts up. it will again stall or run fine for awhile. the last time i was entering the 10fwy in los angeles and it stalled nearly causing a major accident. i had my 3 young kids with me. now it sits in my garage as i make monthly payments. help me
Vehicle will shut off unexpectedly after running for long periods of time. loss of power steering. thise would happen at any speed.
While driving the vehicle just dies for no reason. after a while it starts back up with the exception of one time i had to have it towed to a mechanic. a couple days ago it stalled while on the fwy with my 3 yr old son almost resulting in disaster. i bought this vehicle about 6 months.
While driving to work on 12/03/13 i was at an intersections attempting to accelerate and turn in to traffic on a busy highway when my car would not accelerate, almost got hit. car continued to hesitate as i pressed the gas pedal down. car slowly accelerated but would not go more than 40 mphs. car continued to pull and hesitated as i was attempting to get it the shop. major safety concern and almost get in a major accident attempting to turn into traffic. *tr
