2012 JEEP PATRIOT Complaints

WHEN TRYING TO FILL THE TANK WITH GAS THE PUMP KEEPS SHUTTING OFF EVERY 5-10 SECONDS AND SOMETIMES GAS COMES BACK OOUT THE FILL TUBE. MY MECHANIC SAYS WE HAVE A BAD ROLLOVER VALVE AND THE WHOLE GAS TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED TO FIX IT.

DRIVING DOWN THE STREET CAR STALLING AS ESC WARNING AND TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON. I COULD NOT DRIVE AND HAD MY CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP.

WHEN I ATTEMPT TO REFILL GAS IN MY JEEP, THE TANK PREVENTS THE GAS FROM FLOWING INTO THE VEHICLE. I CAN REFILL THE TANK, BUT BECAUSE OF THE ISSUE, IT TAKES A VERY LONG TIME TO REFILL THE GAS WITH THE PUMP REPEATEDLY SHUTTING OFF.

WHEN PUMPING GAS AT ANY GAS STATION, MY FUEL TANK SHUTS OFF THE FLOW OF GAS APPROXIMATELY EVERY 5 SECONDS. THERE SEEMS TO BE A DEFECT WITH THE GAS TANK.

AFTER HEAVY RAIN OR CAR WASH, WATER POURS OUT OF MAP LIGHTS INTO THE RADIO AND GEAR SHIFTER. IT IS DANGEROUS/DISTRACTING WHILE DRIVING AND I'M AFRAID IT WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE ELECTRONICS AND THE JEEP'S MAIN COMPUTER TO FAIL. WHILE TURNING, THE WATER WILL SOAK THE DRIVER OR PASSENGER SUDDENLY DEPENDING IN WHICH DIRECTION THE TURN WAS MADE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP ON TWO OCCASIONS TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM AND FIX THE ISSUE. A VIDEO OF IT HAPPENING WAS SHOWN TO THEM SO THERE WOULD BE NO MISUNDERSTANDINGS AND TO HELP THEM SEE THE PROBLEM. BOTH TIMES THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM, HOWEVER, IT STILL LEAKS.

I BOUGHT MY CAR AS A SECOND HAND WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON AND THE DEALER TOLD ME IT'S A RECALL THAT JEEP HAS TO FIX. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT SPECIALIZES IN JEEP'S AND THEY COULDN'T FIX IT . IS THERE ANY WAY I CAN GET HELPED ?
