Two problems related to other fuel system pump have been reported for the 2007 Jeep Patriot. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The wiring to and the fuel pump housing melted the wiring that goes from the back side of the plug and down to the pump that is submerged in fuel also melted it was a matter of time before it caught fire. The vehicle would still run and it would randomly short out while driving. I've replaced the pump and kept the parts that have burnt.
For the past several years, my Jeep Patriot cuts off every time I get gas. I've taken it to the dealership several times. They have replaced my fuel pump and auxiliary (I believe thats what its called) and I still have the same problem. Ive also had my throttle bottled cleaned twice. Occasionally, the engine light comes on with code p0442 but goes off after a day or two. It's becoming super frustrated and clearly dangerous to continue to drive this car with no solution.
