This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
I can not fill the gas tank very fast with out the pump shutting off changed all other gas filters the problem I've been told is a faulty roll over valve inside the gas tank I've been told its common with this vehicle and maybe you could open an investigation to fix the problem will cost $800 to $1300 been dealing with this for four months and have dealt with it but with winter here its a lot extreme
The sunroof leaks and water pours down from the front overhead lights onto the dash, into the radio and seeps into the front carpets. This happens anytime there is rain, whether the car is stationary or moving.
My check engine light came on while I was driving on the highway. I took it to a mechanic and he told me it was for the catalytic converter. He then told me there was a recall for the catalytic converter for my car but I was never notified of it.
Over several weeks I had been smelling something burning upon exiting my Patriot. Finally I noticed my rear bumper was misshapen. It was melting! my local car service shop took a look and figured out my exhaust pipe had moved and lodged into my bumper. All the heat melted the bumper. I'm honestly surprised there wasn't a fire started. The man who looked at my Patriot told me this is a very common issue with Jeep.
Multiple times driving on the highway the cvt transmission fails and locks up. Going 70mph I suddenly lose acceleration completely and was almost rear ended by a semi. I can go about 45mph on the interstate for about a minute to find a spot to pull over. Luckily nobody was hurt and there was a place at that time to get out of the way of the semi barreling down the mountain behind
From the time I bought my Patriot, it would experience instances of slow acceleration. I took it in a couple times and they found nothing. On June 11, 2016, I had been driving around 65 mph on I-285 and experienced some hesitation. I exited 285 to I-20 and then on to surface roads. I stopped at the kroger. As I parked the stability control, throttle sensor and check engine light came on. I turned to drive to the dealership and it wouldn't accelerate. They put the pod on it and it showed bad sensor. The guy said it was possibly the throttle body. I was able to drive home but it was still doing the same thing. I brought it back on June 13 and left it with them. On June 14, they said the diagnostic showed high air flow/vacuum leak and the throttle body needed replacing. I researched online and found three other instances of the same symptoms with the same repairs. This has got to be a known issue and why hasn't Chrysler done something?
Two moths ago I was driving om the freeway going out of town I been driving for one hour and half went the Jeep stated making some noises then the speed stated dropping down the temperature light went on I got scared and try to get out the freeway and the Jeep shoot down.

Approximately two weeks ago my vehicle began making a high pitched whining noise but had no other symptoms. Then, 5 days ago I felt the vehicle shutter only once. Since I did not feel it again over a period of days, I chalked it up to being sensitive and thought it could have been in between gears or something. This past Saturday I took a 2 1/2 hour trip to North Carolina from Virginia. On the way there we stopped quite a bit and had no issues. On Saturday afternoon I started back toward Virginia and felt the same shutter I felt days before and the whining persisted. Since a friend of mine was following me back to Virginia I decided to drive it home. An hour and a half into the drive the transmission temperature gage light came on and the vehicle suddenly slowed down on a busy highway. Luckily I made it to the side of the road before the vehicle completely shut off. I had the vehicle towed to a local dealership and so far I have been told that this is normal. I'm extremely frustrated if that is the case because that is a big safety risk and I have two small children. The last thing I need is to be stranded on the side of the road in the blazing heat (like I would have been on Saturday if it weren't for my friend) with a 2 and 4 year old. After much research, I have found that I am not the only one with this issue and many people have already requested a recall to fix the issue. It also frustrates me that, at the very minimum, I will have a bill for a $90 diagnostic fee from the dealership for something that could have already been fixed by Jeep.
