2012 JEEP PATRIOT Complaints

THE TRANSMISSION TEMPERATURE GAUGE HAS COME ON WHEN TRAVELING AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS, CAUSING AN IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER AND REQUIRING ME TO PULL OVER AND LET THE ENGINE COOL DOWN. 2 JEEP DEALERSHIPS HAVE ASSESSED THE VEHICLE IN THE DAYS AFTER THE INCIDENTS, NEITHER OF WHICH COULD OFFER ANY REMEDY. BOTH DEALERSHIPS' SERVICE MANAGERS MENTIONED THAT THESE VEHICLES' TRANSMISSIONS ARE OFTEN PROBLEMATIC AND DO NOT HANDLE HIGH TEMPERATURES WELL, BUT WITH NO ACTIVE RECALL, NEITHER COULD OFFER ANY RECOURSE OR EVEN A REMEDY. THIS IS CLEARLY A CASE OF A POORLY ENGINEERED PRODUCT (THE JATCO CVT) THAT THE MANUFACTURER IS AVOIDING DEALING WITH, AT THE EXPENSE AND SAFETY OF ITS CONSUMERS. IN FACT, JEEP NO LONGER USES THIS TRANSMISSION - THEY REPLACED IT IN 2014 - CLEARLY THEY KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM. THIS ISSUE IS A BLATANT SAFETY HAZARD AND NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED MORE THOROUGHLY AND THE MANUFACTURER HELD TO ACCOUNT FOR THE UNSAFE CONDITIONS THEY KNOW THEIR CONSUMERS ARE IN. UNACCEPTABLE!!!

THE ENGINE IS RANDOMLY STALLING. IT STALLED THE OTHER DAY AT THE HIGHWAY AND KEEPS RANDOMLY DOING IT WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I HAVE TO PULL OVER EVERY TIME AND WAIT A COUPLE OF MINUTES TO TURN IT ON. IT SEEMS BY READING THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED FOR THE SAME MODEL MULTIPLE TIMES.

CAR STALLS OUT GOING DOWN THE ROAD. CAR MOST RECENTLY STARTS AND DIES RIGHT AFTER. WE ARE GETTING FUEL.

MY JEEP IS BY FAR ONE OF THE BIGGEST SAFETY HAZARDS IF NOT FOR ME BUT FOR EVERYONE ELSE ON THE ROAD. THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEAT LIGHT COMES ON CONSTANTLY. IF I GO OVER 60 ON A DAY THAT IS OVER 70 DEGREES FOR LONGER THAN 10 MINUTES THE TRANSMISSION WILL OVER HEAT. IT ISN'T JUST AN ANNOYANCE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT JEEP HAS KNOWN ABOUT. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE INICIATED. THE

INTERSTATE 44 ST. ROBERTS MISSOURI SPEED LIMIT 70 MILES AN HOUR AMBER TRANSMISSION WARNING LIGHT INDICATES OVERHEATING KARZAN REDUCE THE SPEED TO 40 MILES AN HOUR ON THE INTERSTATE. JEEP IS AWARE OF THIS DUE TO A DEFECT AND THE DESIGN OF THE CVT TRANSMISSION. WILL NOT BE REPAIR TELL RECALL ORDERED BY GOVERNMENT

AC ACTUATOR BLEND DOORS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2012 JEEP PATRIOTS. DOES NOT WORK IF THE CAR IS IN MOTION OR IF IT'S STATIONARY.

INTAKE MANIFOLD SYSTEM: THE INTAKE MANIFOLD IS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL AND TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING. DIFFICULTLY STARTING THE VEHICLE AND POOR GAS MILEAGE.

PURCHASED FROM A USED CAR DEALERSHIP /01/2018 AND THE FIRST TIME I WENT TO PUT GAS IN THE TANK IT KEPT CUTTING OFF RAPIDLY NOT ALLOWING ME TO FILL IT QUICKLY.I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL JEEP DEALER FOR HELP AND THEY DIAGNOSED IT NEEDED A NEW FUEL TANK. AT THE COST OF 1300.00+ DOLLARS. THE FUEL NECK HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN REPLACED BUT THIS WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. NOW I AM STUCK WITH THIS AS I CAN NOT AFFORD TO FIX IT.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2012 JEEP PATRIOT DOWN A REGULAR STREET AND IT SUDDENLY SLOWED DOWN AND DASH LIGHTS WENT ON. THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM LIGHT WENT ON ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT.

I WAS STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT TURNING RIGHT THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I WENT TO GO AND MY JEEP PATRIOT STARTED HESITATING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION AND IT TOOK A FEW MINUTES TO GET UP TO SPEED I HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM MULTIPLE TIMES BUT THE DEALERSHIP COULDN'T RECREATE THE PROBLEM SO THEY COULDN'T TELL ME A SALUTATION BROUGHT IT IN 3 TIMES NOW WHEN I GO TO SPEED UP TO FLOW OF TRAFFIC COMING OFF THE ON RAMP MY TRANSMISSION MAKES A HOWLING NOISE AND IT IS SLOW TO GET UP TO SPEED
