2014 JEEP PATRIOT Complaints

I believe the roll over safety valve inside the gas tank is faulty, and have noticed many others having the same issue in forums. The vehicle will not accept fuel, and acts as if it is full. Sometimes if you hit the bottom of the fuel tank with a rubber mallet, the valve will unstick and accept fuel again for a short while.

While I was removing groceries from my car the passenger seat active headrest system deployed. When I looked inside I could see broken pieces of plastic and knew that this was unable to be reset.

I am now worried and suspicious that this could also happen to the drivers headrest system

The passenger headrest with the active restraint system popped open yesterday 7/27/22. This vehicle has not been in any accidents or any reason for it to open. When investigating, the plastic piece that holds the latch was broken. The safety concern is if it happens on the driver side while the driver is actually driving the car, it can cause injury to the driver as well as potential for car accidents to happen.
