27 problems related to other fuel system tank assembly have been reported for the 2012 Jeep Patriot. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
When trying to fill the tank with gas the pump keeps shutting off every 5-10 seconds and sometimes gas comes back oout the fill tube. My mechanic says we have a bad rollover valve and the whole gas tank needs to be replaced to fix it.
When pumping gas at any gas station, my fuel tank shuts off the flow of gas approximately every 5 seconds. There seems to be a defect with the gas tank.
When I attempt to refill gas in my Jeep, the tank prevents the gas from flowing into the vehicle. I can refill the tank, but because of the issue, it takes a very long time to refill the gas with the pump repeatedly shutting off.
2012 Jeep Patriot 4 x 4 takes 20 minutes to fill gas tank due to faulty valve. Had the dealership run diagnostic tests today and they tell me a new gas tank is the only fix due to a problem with a valve inside the tank. . . . They called it a "flapper" and an "inlet check valve". Talked to Jeep and to two dealerships and no one wants to take any responsibility for this issue. I also found the following technical service bulletin which extends the gas system warranty on a number of makes/models for this very same issue, but the Jeep Patriot is not included - TSB 14-001-09 rev. A this is extremely frustrating and dangerous.
The gas tank can not be filled at the gas pump without reducing the flow to the minimum level. As a result it take 20 minutes to put 10 gallons in the gas tank. This is dangerous late at night or in bad weather. This issue started in October and is getting worse.
The contact owns a 2012 Jeep Patriot. While refueling the vehicle, the fuel sensor indicated that the fuel level was full; however, when the fuel nozzle was pulled back, the vehicle was able to receive additional fuel. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to dick's country Chrysler Jeep Dodge (767 sw baseline st, hillsboro, or 97123), but the cause of the failure was not determined. The contact was informed that the fuel tank could be replaced. The vehicle was currently at the dealer for repairs. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and did not assist. The failure mileage was approximately 47,000.
Tl-the contact owns 2012 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated that when fueling the vehicle it does not fuel completely. The vehicle was taken to an unknown dealer where it was diagnosed and replaced a valve int he tank however the failure recurring. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 177,000. Aw.
It was confirmed by the dealership my 2012 Jeep Patriot been diagnosed with an internal fuel tank failure. My manufacturer date was Nov. 2011 and a recall was issued in Dec. 2011 to replace the fuel tank (of course my vehicle didn't qualify). I do not have $1600 to replace something that Chrysler should take responsibility for and fix. I have a feeling that they knew that these gas tanks were faulty before Dec. 2011, and in order to not have to replace them, they took the easy and barely any money out of their pocket route and did a recall for the transfer hose hoping that would correct the issue which if that's what they thought, sorry it didn't work. I do not feel safe driving the vehicle, let alone trying to put gas in it with the gas pump shutting off every few cents. The only way I can put gas in is by a very slow trickle which takes about 10 - 15 minutes. Within the last few weeks, it's getting even more difficult as I hear the gas backing up in the filler neck. The dealership was not any help other than telling me how much it was going to cost without any explanation as to why it happened. We need help in getting Chrysler to address this issue before someone gets killed. Someone please hear us and help us and do something now!!!.
Gas pump keeps clicking off when fueling. Mechanic tested evap system and stated vehicle needs a new fuel tank. The Jeep has 62,000 miles on it and has been well maintained. This is an unusual repair and is extremely high in cost. I believe this should be included and covered with the other fuel tank recalls on Jeep Patriots.
Issue is I cannot fuel tank due to fuel tank valve stuck. I just had the esim replaced because that was what the dealer said was the issue. Problem wasn't resolved and now I have to replace fuel tank. I saw where there were other vehicles experiencing this same issue and were recalled.
When fueling, gas pump shuts off after ~1pint, must wait to drain down, another pint click off, drain down, another pint, wait to drain down- takes about 15 minutes to fill tank. Engine stutters on acceleration, rpm's drop 500-1000, probably fuel delivery related. All coils, plugs, filters replaced, injectors cleaned.
When I try to put gasoline in my car, the pump keeps shutting off. This is very frustrating. I have tried different gasoline stations. Had this problem before, but now it is worse every time I try to put fuel in the tank. I contacted the dealer, they told me no recall for for my Jeep.
As several other 2012 Jeep Patriot 4x4 owners have noted, it takes me forever to fill my tank - pump keeps clicking off. This started at about 70,00 miles - I now have 80,00 miles on it. Of course my vehicle, which I purchased new, was not part of the recall to replace the faulty fuel tank transfer tube. Even if I pay out of pocket to have this repaired I know this is not the real problem as others have noted - it is a problem with the gas tank vent system which would necessitate the replacement of the whole gas tank. C'mon Chrysler, please admit this is a problem and do the right thing. If not, I will not be purchasing any future Chrysler vehicles.
Valve in filler neck will not allow fuel to enter tank.
Purchased from a used car dealership /01/2018 and the first time I went to put gas in the tank it kept cutting off rapidly not allowing me to fill it quickly. I took it to the local Jeep dealer for help and they diagnosed it needed a new fuel tank. At the cost of 1300. 00+ dollars. The fuel neck had previously been replaced but this was not the problem. Now I am stuck with this as I can not afford to fix it.
My car recently developed issues with a faulty fuel tank valve. This makes it difficult to pump gasoline. There was a recall in 2012 Jeep Patriots for this issue (m11). However, my car was not included in the recall.
Car gradually stopped taking gas. It would click off and not allow additional gas to be put in. Initially this was at half a tank, then a quarter, then before I could even get the gas light off. The car was evaluated by three different mechanics, all who confirmed it was a gas tank issue identical to recall m11. This issue also effects the safety function which keeps the tank from catching on fire in the event of a rollover accident. We contacted Jeep multiple times, but were told that this recall includes cars manufactured as late as January 2012 but does not include my car which was manufactured in February 2012. Jeep refused to look into the issue further because the car was not included in the recall.
I had a 1/4 tank of gas and went to the gas station to fill up. While pumping, the gas pump kept shutting off. I thought something was wrong with the gas pump so I went to another pump and the same thing continued to happened (I only got a few gallons). Later that day, I went to the gas station again and the same thing was happening, the pump shutting off. I was able to finally fill the tank after repeated shut offs, pumping and shuts off again. In 2014, I had the repair done (recall for the fuel tank transfer tube) however this is the first time I am experiencing this problem with my gas tank. I did some researching and it seems to be the gas tank vent system is not venting quick enough causing the gas is backing up. I will be calling my dealership to see what they can do about this. My real question is was the recall repair "faulty"?.
(1) seat belts/air bags: have not had noticeable issues with these yet however are associated with a Chrysler recall #s61. Is a safety risk because I commute to work daily on the free way and could get into a car accident which could be deadly if the air bags did not deploy or if the seatbelt did not work properly. (2) air bags, electrical system, seat belts: Chrysler recall # n01; electrical system began having issues spontaneously after buying the vehicle and have persisted. Warning signals on dash will flicker on and off while driving which seems to be electrical-related. Jeep will also randomly alert while driving making a, "ding" noise when there is no cause for alarm. This software/electrical error could cause air bags to not deploy properly and can adversely affect the seatbelt pre-tensioners as well which could be deadly in a high-speed freeway accident. (3) fuel system, gasoline: Chrysler recall # n17; Jeep has lurched while in motion driving as if the engine was stalling or as if there was something wrong with the transmission. Jeep will lurch most often when accelerating and it seems as though the transmission is getting stuck or the engine is stalling because the rpm reading will shoot up then drop back down to almost nothing. (4) fuel system, gasoline, storage tank, assembly: Chrysler is recalling certain model year 2012 Jeep Patriot's due to some vehicles being built with a fuel tank assembly containing a damaged roll-over valve. (5) suspension: constant squeaking in back suspension of vehicle while in motion, especially when going over bumps or driving on uneven ground. Automotive shop has yet to be able to determine the cause or issue resulting in the squeaking and creaking and we have been going to them for the past 2 years for vehicle maintenance.
The contact owns a 2012 Jeep Patriot. While driving 75 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was towed to firestone of lubbock, texas where it was determined that the fuel transfer tube did not bring fuel into the main fuel tank, which caused the vehicle to run out of fuel. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 13v120000 (fuel system, gasoline). The failure mileage was 45,000.
While traveling at 75 mph on level surface the tachometer briefly spiked and the vehicle lost power. There were no warning lights, the vehicle's electric accessories remained on, but there was no throttle response. The ambient temperature was in the upper 90s, the fuel tank was above 1/4 full and the driver was 2. 5 hours into a 3. 25 hour trip. The vehicle coasted to the side of the highway and failed to restart. The vehicle was towed to the nearest dealership. The dealership technician was able to start the vehicle and reported no diagnostic errors or codes. The driver collected the vehicle, filled the fuel tank and began the 3. 25 hour return trip. While traveling at 75 mph, approx 2. 75 hours into the return trip the vehicle lost power again. After sitting at the edge of the highway for almost 20 min, the driver heard a relay click from the rear of the vehicle and attempted to start the car. The vehicle started and ran normally for an additional 10 minutes before stalling again with the same symptoms as the previous two instances: a brief spike from the tach then no throttle response. The driver again was able to restart after a 15-20 rest and continued off the highway and onto side streets with no further occurrences. The issue reoccurred on a subsequent long trip approx one month later with the same symptoms. Upon getting the vehicle back into the city it was again taken to a different dealer who discovered no diagnostic codes or errors.
Driving downhill on south I-15 through phelan at 4pm approximately 95 degrees outside. Accelerator became non-responsive. Rpms dropped to idle speeds. Vehicle was essentially 'coasting' with the engine running. Unable to accelerate at all. Pumping accelerator was resulting in nothing. Engine temp was not above halfway mark, about 1/3 tank of fuel. No engine warning lights. Changing gears electronically (automatic) not helpful. Was able to make it to off-ramp since I was traveling downhill. Engine promptly died when I came to a complete stop. Upon pulling the key out and re-inserting the electronic throttle control error light illuminated. Engine would not turn over. Attempted to reset computer not helpful. Approximately 45 minutes later (and phone calls for road-side service) etc light went away. Computer reset may have finally taken. Vehicle started with no problem. Drove the final 35 miles home without incident. Could have been a completely different situation had I not been traveling downhill at speed. Have not yet contacted dealer as I am out of new car warranty. Numerous other complaints about issues at speed have me very concerned.
I received a recall notice several months ago (I do not have the exact date as the notices are not dated nor postmarked) regarding the fuel tank transfer tube. I called the dealer as soon as I received the notice, and was told that Chrysler/Jeep had not released a part number yet. When I called several weeks later, I was told that the dealer now has a part number and is ordering the part. Today, when I called again, I was told that Jeep is only sending one part every 2 weeks and that the dealer is working off of a waiting list and I may not be called for another month. This is totally unacceptable. If the vehicle malfunctions in the way that it is described in the recall notice, my car could stop in the middle of a highway which puts me at risk of being hit by other vehicles and killed. I hope that something can be done to expedite these parts getting to all of the owners of these Jeeps.
On interstate highway at highway speed on cruise control. Instant engine stall. Fuel gauge reads 3/8 full. This happened twice in the span of 5 hours. First stall - towed to dealership in bowling green ky. The engine started right up at the dealership. No engine fault codes were available. Dealership blamed it on bad gas. Second stall - same conditions near memphis TN. Aaa added one gallon of fuel, the engine started right up. Was able to continue the trip as long as we kept the fuel above 1/2 tank full. Both incidents could have been a crash had there been traffic, fortunately we coasted to the shoulder.
My car is not showing up on the recall database. So the authorized dealer will not do the repair w/ out cost. My VIN needs to be added. Over 20,000 model year 2012 Jeep Patriot and compass vehicles are recalled because of fuel system problems. Chrysler says the transfer tube might not work correctly because the tube was incorrectly manufactured. Your engine could stall because the fuel from the secondary side wouldn't make it to the primary side of the tank. The affected vehicles were manufactured October 18, 2011, through may 7, 2012. ( my car was build 2/3/2012) and is a 4x4 refer to recall number n17. I had this issue numerous times.
This is the first of 2 incidents I have had with this car. I was coming back into California from arizona on the 40 west with cruise control on at 75 mph. Without indication, the throttle revved to 4500 rpm and the car lost speed. The engine was unresponsive to the gas pedal. I cancelled cruise control, and from the left lane was able to get over to the right shoulder. When we came to a stop, the engine died. The fuel gauge read just over 1/4 of a tank. The car would not start again. We called roadside assistance and they called a tow truck. The dealership was closed and we had to stay the night in a hotel. The next morning the car was taken to the dealership. The tech found no issues and was able to start the car with no incident. The diagnostic revealed no codes or errors. We were able to drive home the rest of the way. My Jeep is a 4x4 with the trail rated package.
I am writing in regard to the investigation pe12-032. I own a 2012 Jeep Patriot. The vehicle has stalled repeatedly (4 times - 2 times in July 2012, 1 time in November, and 1 time in December) when cruising at a steady highway speed (65 to 75 mph) on a slight down gradient on the interstate. Each time the vehicle had been on the road for two hours or more prior to becoming disabled and required a tow from the highway. Each time the vehicle had between 1/8th and 3/8ths of a tank of fuel. When the Patriot was unloaded from the flat bed tow truck, it started immediately on each occasion and the Chrysler repair shops could not find a code that indicated the vehicle experienced any problem. The dealers said because there were no diagnostic codes, they would not fix anything. Please help me resolve the issue. I will give you any help I can. Chrysler's case number is [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
