general problems of the 2008 Jeep Patriot

The contact owns a2008 Jeep Patriot . While driving at 55mph the contact attempted to decrease the his speedthe brake pedal was applied but failed to respond causing the brakes locked up causing the vehicle to spin and lose control of the vehicle. Once the vehicle stalled the contact was able to drive the vehicle to resident. The vehilce was not taken to an independent mechanic or dealer, the vehicle has not been diagoned or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 51,000 vw.

I made a u-turn in my vehicle on a town street , as I completed the u-turn the vehicles rear suspension broke. The broken suspension made the vehicle feel like it was going over a rumble strip, the suspension being broke made the wheels turn in towards the wheel wells where it rubbed and eventually blew my tire. I was looking for a place to pull off safely. When I finally got it too a auto shop they told me the suspension rusted in two . It had to be moved with a flat bed. I had the vehicles front fixed in January of 2017 . Which was under the extended warranty because of complaints so the vehicles rear took an extra three years to rust out which is only two years over the warranty. I have enclosed a copy of bill from when then front was done.

My vehicle will sometimes not go when I press the gas. The brakes don't properly work, the 4 wheel drive lock fails, the esp light flashes, the traction control fails, and it makes it difficult to drive over 5 miles an hour. I have yet to be in an accident, but I fear it may happen. It happens immediately after starting to drive, and doesn't always correct itself. I contacted Jeep and they told me I'm on my own. It is a known issue with these vehicles and wonder why they haven't recalled them to fix the problem. I fear I'm stuck with a lemon vehicle, because the transmission has already been replaced and I've only been in possession of the vehicle for 10 months. What are my options moving forward?.

After refueling the Patriot I drove approximately 1/4 mile and the vehicle bucked, shuddered and shut off. The steering wheel locked in place and since there was no vacuum pressure the breaks we're not very effective. I was able to restart the vehicle after putting it in nuetral while on the entrance ramp to an interstate. This was the second time this had happened and until now I did not know they incidents were connected. The first time it occurred I had just refueled and was pulling up at a stop light and it turned off while I was stopping for the light.

This past month of December '17 my 08 Jeep Patriot 4x4 with only 70,000 mileage had 3 repairs using dealer parts only. Richard grover e-mail dickgrover01@aol. Com phone 865 599-5759 1. Replaced fuel tank. Could not pump gas into it due to venting issue. Replaced with dealer tank. Vent hoses would not allow air passage. $800 2. Replaced abs eps system. $1,300 3. Replaced alternator. $400 no recall although significant similar problems noted on line with Jeep product. Please help! had to complete repairs to avoid being stranded.

After filling up gas at half a tank the car stalls trying to shut off after driving a short distance so there's no power to steer or brake safely in traffic. At stops, the car will shut off.

I was driving my 2008 Jeep Patriot limited down the street and hit a pot hole and with in seconds it sounded like a flat tire. I pulled into the closest parking lot and got out there was no flat tried to drive it and the parking brake was locked I took the brakes apart and the parking brake on the one side completely fell out in my hands. The brake clips ripped out of the dust cover and the adjuster fell into to the drum and locked the brakes up. Luckily I was only doing 30 when it happens and slowed down other wise if I was on the highway I could only imagine what would of happened.

I have 3 parts problem of my car. 1. ) my steering wheel are not in the perfect balance. Normal steering wheel face 12 oclock but slightly turning to right about 12:30 or 1 oclock position,so when I run at slow speed about 5 mph it turn right about 3 second and when you run it at high speed more worse. 2. ) my 2 bearing part is worn out I guess,because I notice that I run at 55 or 60 mph at freeway it make alot of noise like rumbling sound feels like falling apart. The effected part is on the passenger side on the right and the other one is on the back side on the left both of them need to replce soon as possible this request is urgent for my family saftey I have 1 years old daughter riding with me and my wife. 3. ) my last compalint is my car brake this is scary I ever experience I cant really hardly discribe. Many of day I drove my car run at speed of 25 or 30 mph and when I hit the bump and press the brakes the brake goes all the way its feel like shaking and the brakes barely touch the floor its happen many time so dangerious I check my brake dot oil it was good perfect level. And I also complaint my car body part the hood,the back fender right side and left rusty,dent & scratches hopefully I can get a help soon.

I took my Jeep Patriot 2008 to get two new tires. I was told the rear axle is rusted and car unsafe to drive. Thank god I needed tires. With less than 100,000 miles 9on my Jeep about 87,000 I do not feel this is regular wear and tear and is a definate safety concern.

I parked my manual transmission in the bank flat parking lot. I put it in n' and pulled the e brake and placed my keys in the cup holder of the Jeep. I walked inside and waited in line until someone told me a red Jeep was going backwards down the main road. I ran out of the bank, down the road to find my Jeep stopped by a brick wall with the brake still pulled. Not only did it drive backwards on a very busy road it made a left hand turn out of the parking lot and then again at the light where it ran into the wall. Lucky for everyone it was a good driver and did not hit anyone or any car. Two men who recovered the Jeep where shocked to find no one in it.

I purchased a used Jeep Patriot with 32,952 miles on it. Previous owner had been told to replace front lower ball joints. I was told the front wheels could fall off at any time. Dealership replaced them for me along with rotors. Original tires had to be replaced because of defective ball joints, but the new ones are already showing wear. The dealer & 2 other shops said with such low mileage it should not have this problem. After ball joints/rotors were replaced the problem was worse. Not only was a ball joint still bad but I was told that both control arms are bad and need replaced. Now, after being replaced once (now just over 33,400 miles on the Jeep) I am told it is not safe to drive over about 40mph because still a wheel could fall off.
