2007 JEEP PATRIOT 4X4 Complaints

A MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THE OVERFLOW VALVE IS PROBABLY THE PROBLEM,. HE STATED THAT WHEN FILING UP WITH GAS, IT IS NOT SHUTTING OFF THE NOZZLE FLOW IN TIME, AND ALTHOUGH IT ISN'T SPILLING GAS ON THE GROUND IT IS WETTING THE CANISTER. HE SAYS THAT THROWS OFF THE AIR-GAS CALCULATIONS UNTIL THE CANISTER DRIES, 1-4 MINS AFTER RUNNING. IN THE MEANTIME, IT SHUTTERS HARD AND/OR STALLS MULTIPLE TIMES, EVEN WHILE DRIVING. HIS RECOMMENDATION WAS TO LIVE WITH IT AND JUST MANUALLY FILL UP A LITTLE UNDER FULL. THIS IS BECAUSE THE VALVE CAN'T BE REPLACED W/O REPLACING THE ENTIRE TANK.

AFTER REFUELING MY 2007 JEEP PATRIOT THE CAR WILL STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. THE OIL LIGHT COMES ON AND THE ABS LOCK UP. YOU HAVE TO TURN THE CAR ON AND OFF A FEW TIMES IT THEN SPUTTERS AND WILL JUMP WHEN ACCELERATING. THIS HAS HAPPENED EVERY TIME AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN FILLED WITH GAS. IT IS GETTING HARDER AN HARDER TO RE START WHEN IT STALLS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET ON THE WAY HOME FROM THE GAS STATION. *TR

WAS DRIVING TWO HOURS AWAY FOR A MEDICAL APPOINTMENT, AND WAS JUST DRIVING IN THE RIGHT LANE. I WAS PASSING A VEHICLE IN THE LEFT LANE AND HAD NO POWER AT ALL. THE HIGH PITCH WINE CAME FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND THE RPM WERE REDLINING AT 65 MPH. THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT AND THE JEEP JUST SLOWED ON ITS OWN. THE TEMPERATURE LIGHT FOR THE TRANSMISSION CAME ON. PULLING OVER TO THE MEDIAN ALMOST KILLED MY HUSBAND AND I. THIS IS A DANGEROUS VEHICLE TO DRIVE AND GO OVER 50MPH. WE HAD TO SIT ON INTERSTATE 64 FOR AN HOUR TO LET THE TRANSMISSION COOL DOWN. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED FROM THEIR TRANSMISSION STALLING OR OVERHEATING GOING DOWN AN INTERSTATE, OR JUST DRIVING FOR ANY PERIOD OF TIME ON A HIGHWAY. WE DO NOT FEE SAFE IN THIS 2007 JEEP WITH ONLY 70,000 MILES ON IT. THE TRANSMISSION HAS ALREADY BEEN REPLACED ONCE AND WE WERE NOT EVEN TOLD THAT BY THE DEALERSHIP!!! SERIOUSLY DEADLY PROBLEM.....FIX THE CVT TRANSMISSION. THE DEALERSHIP SAID WE ARE SOL EVEN THOUGH WE HAVEN'T OWNED IT 9 DAYS AND NOW WE ARE PAYING FOR A CAR WE CANNOT DRIVE OR FIX! *TR

MY CAR'S MANUAL TRANSMISSION DIED AT 115,000 MILES. I'VE HAD THIS CAR A YEAR AND AM STILL PAYING IT OFF. NOW I HAVE TO PAY ANOTHER $4,400 TO GET MY TRANSMISSION REPLACED. I'VE BEEN TOLD BY SEVERAL REPAIR SHOPS AND THE DEALER THAT I BOUGHT IT FROM THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM BETWEEN 90,000-100,000 MILES WITH THIS TRANSMISSION. NOT ONLY THAT, BUT THE PART THAT FAILS IS PERMANENT SO YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE THING AND IT'S VERY SPENDY. BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN PURCHASING USED 2007 JEEP PATRIOTS. YOU WILL PROBABLY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS I DID. VERY DISAPPOINTED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP PATRIOT 4X4. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH IN SNOWY WEATHER CONDITIONS AND MAKING A TURN, A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE EMITTED UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE WITH A CONSTANT VIBRATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO DISCOVERED THAT THE CROSS-MEMBER FRACTURED DUE TO RUST CORROSION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

MY VEHICLE STARTED STALLING WHEN I WAS MERGING ONTO A BUSY HIGHWAY. THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE SENSOR AND STABILITY SENSOR CAME ON AND I HAD TO PULL OFF ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. THE CAR WAS VERY HARD TO GET TO A STOP. THE BREAKS DID NOT WORK VERY WELL AND THE CAR WAS JERKING HORRIBLY. THE CAR KEPT TRYING TO DIE AND WOULD REV UP AND DOWN BY ITSELF. IT TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND IT RESET ITSELF BUT IT HAPPENED AGAIN. *TR

EVERY TIME AFTER I PUT FUEL IN MY JEEP, IT WILL STALL 2 TO 3 TIMES WHEN IDLING OR GOING UNDER A CERTAIN SPEED. THIS GETS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AT INTERSECTIONS, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO TURN AND IT STALLS OUT MID-TURN. THE PROBLEM STARTED SPORADICALLY AT FIRST, BUT NOW IT HAPPENS EVERY SINGLE TIME THAT I PUT FUEL IN MY JEEP. BEFORE FINDING THIS SITE, I DID A TON OF RESEARCH ONLINE AND IT LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR JEEP. CHRYSLER SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE BECAUSE IT CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE WILL IDLE ROUGH AND STALL. AT FIRST IT OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY BUT NOW OCCURS AFTER EVERY REFUELING AND WILL CLEAR UP AFTER A FEW MILES. THIS POSES A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT WILL STALL AT A STOP LIGHT OR INTERSECTION. *TR

THE VEHICLE STALLS WHEN SLOWING TO A STOP. IT IS NOT DURING EVERY STOP BUT MORE LIKELY TO OCCUR AFTER REFUELING THE CAR. ON THE FIRST INCIDENT IN OCTOBER 2014, I HAD DRIVEN HOME FROM WORK (35+ MILES) AND WHEN SLOWING TO A STOP AT A LIGHT THE VEHICLE STALLED. IT EASILY RESTARTED AND RETURNED TO NORMAL. SINCE THEN THE DRIVING ISSUES HAVE INCREASED TO RPM DECREASES WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY ' THE ENGINE KICKS/JERKS THE CAR AND RETURNS TO NORMAL DRIVING. THE JEEP STALLS EVERY TIME IT IS REFUELED ' I AM NOT INTENTIONALLY OVERFLOWING THE GAS TANK. IT WILL STALL MULTIPLE TIMES AFTER THE REFILL. THE RPM FLUCTUATES REGARDLESS OF WHEN THE LAST TIME THE TANK WAS REFUELED. I HAVE BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING OVER 50MPG WHEN THE ENGINE KICKED, RPM DECREASED, AND I THOUGHT I WAS LOSING POWER ABOUT TO STALL. ON NOV 26, 2015 THE ENGINE STALLED AGAIN. MY TWO PRESCHOOL AGED KIDS WERE IN THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE. I COULDN'T QUICKLY RESTART THE JEEP. WE SAT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR A MOMENT ' POSSIBLY 4 MINUTES ' WAITING TO TRY THE ENGINE AGAIN. IT DID RESTART AND THE ENTIRE RIDE HOME, APPROXIMATELY 3 MILES ' THE RPMS FLUCTUATED WITHOUT MY HITTING GAS OR BREAKS. IT THEN STALLED IN THE DRIVEWAY WHEN PARKING. I DIDN'T TOUCH THE CAR FOR TWO DAYS, OVER THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO USE IT AGAIN, THE RPM FLUCTUATED BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT STALL. INSTEAD, I WAS ABLE TO PARK THE CAR AND TURN THE JEEP OFF AND REMOVE THE KEY BUT THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING. IT WAS JUST A FEW SECONDS BUT IT WAS RUNNING AND I WAS LOOKING AT THE KEY IN MY HAND. MY HUSBAND DROVE IT AN HOUR LATER TO TEST IT OUT AND THE JEEP STALLED AGAIN IN THE DRIVEWAY. *JS

WHEN I PUMP GAS MY CAR REJECTS THE GAS WHEN I KNOW IT ISN'T FULL. THE GAS SHUTOFF AT THE STATION WILL KICK AND NOT ALLOW GAS TO PUMP INTO MY CAR. 2ND, AFTER PUMPING GAS MY CAR WILL THROTTLE UP AND DOWN AND THEN SHUT OFF WHENEVER I STOP. I HAVE TO PUT THE CAR INTO PARK AND TURN IT BACK ON AND SHIFT TO DRIVE. 3RD, AFTER TURNING ON MY CAR, I TRY TO SHFIT OUT OF PARK. THE CAR WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK AND MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING. I REPLACED THE BRAKE SHIFT LIGHT ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND IT WORKED FINE UNTIL TODAY. NOW ONCE AGAIN, I CANNOT GET MY CAR OUT OF PARK. THE OTHER 2 ISSUES HAVE BEEN ONGOING SINCE SEPTEMBER AND I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MANAGER THEM AND STILL DRIVE THE VEHICLE. *TR
