Six problems related to other fuel system pump have been reported for the 2012 Jeep Patriot. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
When I was at the gas station, fuel pump kept shutting off. I took to the dealership. The problem is the rollover vent valve on top of the fuel tank does not open to release air. They told me I had to replace the whole tank and their estimation is more than $1800 before the tax. I see the same problem people filed here. The repair should be on the manufacturer side instead of customers.
I try to fuel my 2012 Jeep Patriot (55000) miles, but the fuel pump continues to shut off. It takes me at least 10 minutes to pump 8 gallons of fuel into my tank. This has been going on for over a month now.
On 8/19/14 my 2012 Jeep Patriot had 30,666 miles. I made a right turn onto the highway out of a shopping center parking lot and as soon as I had made the turn my car stalled out. I coasted a bit and pulled into the parking lots next entrance. I parked my Jeep and turned my key as if I was shutting my car off and then tried to turn it back on. To my surprise is turned on and I drove around the parking lot a little without another issue. . I immediately called a Jeep dealer but they told me unless the issue happened again they couldn't do anything about it. I was lucky no one rear ended me. It's a very busy highway. I bought a Jeep because I thought it'd be a safe vehicle to drive myself, my husband and my 1 year old baby around in. After this happened on the highway I have been extra cautious because I'm afraid it will stall again and we may not be as lucky the next time. I hope they will recall all Chrysler vehicles made with this faulty fuel pump. We all deserve a safe vehicle.
Driving south on i57 in illinois and vehicle stalled. This happened previously at6000 miles in March while I was on i55, and the dealer told me that the secondary fuel pump was bad. It was replaced and now I am at 26,000 miles and it has stalled again. Each incident the vehicle has stalled with approximately 3/8 of a tank of gas. It causes me to have to maneuver through traffic to pull to the side while the vehicle is rapidly slowing and vehicles behind me don't know how to react. Luckily, neither incident has resulted in an accident but clearly the fuel pump needs to be redesigned, recalled and replaced.
Tl-the contact owns a 2012 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated that he was driving approximately 68 mph with the cruise control engaged. The contact was approaching an off ramp, so he tapped the brakes to disengage the cruise control. Immediately after touching the brakes the vehicle stalled. The contact tried restarting the vehicle but it would not. The vehicle was later towed to the dealer. After diagnosis they advised him that the fuel pumps and the lines between the fuel tanks needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired for 2 fuel pumps and the lines in between. The failure mileage was approximately 3,000. The current mileage was approximately 3,500. The VIN was unavailable. Tb.
I was going down the freeway at 68 with cruise control on and when I tapped the brakes to kick the cruise off it slowly died and wouldn't restart,so had it towed and when it came off the truck it restarted(about an hour and a half later). My dealer contacted Chrysler and they said to change the fuel pumps(2) and fuel lines between tanks, this has been done but I haven't driven it much since. I heard on the radio that this or similar things had been accuring with this model so I wanted to put my 2 cents in and maybe here if there was a different fix for this problem>.
