Three problems related to manifold/header/muffler/tail pipe have been reported for the 2008 Jeep Patriot. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Every time I get gas my Jeep bucks and stalls for a few days. It bucked and stalled probably a dozen times on my way home from getting gas yesterday. I just read a whole page of complaints regarding the fuel tank being faulty letting liquid gas in the manifold (something like that) but it's dangerous and it's a defect obviously. Stalling while entering a highway ramp to a 75 mph road is scary. I have had this problem for a few years but it's expensive to repair. I've paid mechanics to repair it before but they misdiagnose it and charge me to deal with the transmission and transmission fluid etc. Please do something. Repair is $1200 and my Jeep only has 100,000 miles on it. Thank you for your time.
The first time I had the Jeep in for repair 4 time making a noise in the back breaks that was Friday the 6/20/2014 and again today with noise in the front breaks they told me at monro muffler here in herkimer newyork 13350 that there isn't anything wrong with the breaks in the front but they still are rubbing after leaving there I went to a store a little down the road and the engine light come on they tell me it only the gas cap I just got this car 6/13/20014 the car sales was here in herkimer kamart parking lot vision is the name of the car dealer my total for this car is $12,697. 92 I want them to take this car back I don't want it please do something for me thank you.
I bought my Jeep in sept of 2010, took it for an oil change in Dec,2010. Was told I needed to replace the left lower control arm, I was told the Patriots were having alot of issues with that part coming out loose straight out of the factory. It makes a loud noise when I drive it. I've had multiple problems including the a/c ,check engine light is on for manifold problem ,transmission problems all within the two years that I've owned it.
