Manifold/header/muffler/tail Pipe Problems of Jeep Patriot

The exhaust manifold has multiple cracks on it and some are around actual welds. This caused a permanent catalyst failure. It caused a loss in power and the vehicle would surge at times during acceleration.

12/12/19 tried to get on I-295 all lights on dash came on including malfunction indicator, esp bas, and others all came on when no lights were on before. Lost power to Jeep on 295 could not go any fast then 25 mph and then stalled; almost rear ended. Could restart Jeep, all dash lights still on, no power past 25 mph and made it off an off ramp where stalled again. Towed Jeep to mechanic where they replaced pcm, intake manifold, and O2 censor. Called Jeep because there is a recall to pcm and was told my VIN not included. 12/26/2019 on I-295 going 70mph and Jeep lost all power with no warning lights this time and had no acceleration. Was in the far left lane and had near miss of being rear ended by tractor trailer. Veered Jeep to breakdown lane and towed to mechanic. Second mechanic repaired ground at g104 on right side of engine bay said is reason for several computerised controls. 1/7/2020 put full tank of gas in vehicle and pulled into intersection and Jeep bucked and stalled out. Called mechanic said possible fuel sensor problem. Jeep Patriots have had issues with pcm and fuel problems but am told my 2009 Jeep not a part of this recall. Jeep is still not running properly and will not drive on highway. Very dangerous and very expansive.

Intake manifold system: the intake manifold is causing the vehicle to stall and turn off while driving. Difficultly starting the vehicle and poor gas mileage.

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.

I was driving over to my parents house and my dad noticed a smell of plastic burning when I arrived. He lifted the hood and the air inlet duct was not properly positioned and had moved over and was laying on the manifold. He noticed 1 of the 2 screws used to hold the duct in position was missing. He pulled the duct part off and noticed a hole in the underside where it had laid on the manifold and heated up melting the plastic housing. He covered up the hole with duct tape and relocated it to the proper position. He repositioned it and secured the part with zip-ties.

After hearing a noise in my exhaust system, I checked under the car and found my muffler locked up about 2 to 3 inches with the exhaust pipe pointing directly at the back of my plastic bumper. My bumper was distorted and melting. I caught this problem before a fire started but am confident this would have ignited. I then reached up and pulled with a little force down on the muffler and it snapped back into the correct position. There is no damage to the underside of the vehicle just the damage to the melted bumper. I went to a dealership and showed the service manager the problem. He took pictures and contacted Chrysler. After waiting almost two weeks, the service manager contacted me and told me Chrysler would repair my bumper as a courtesy. I asked him if they were going to fix the problem with the muffler/hanger but they refused. I am now doing what I can to inform people of the problem and trying to get the problem fixed. I also found a video at oregonlive. Com which details the same problem with my vehicle.

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.
