Other Fuel System Problems of Jeep Patriot - part 2

Since 2021 I have been complaining odd a smell (burning/ rotten) upon 1st starting up the vehicle. It was on the faint side when 1st discovered. Taken into dealership I bought it from when 1 first noticed. Dealership said no authorized Jeep mechanics on site and recommended to take it to a authorized Jeep dealer. Taken to Jeep dealership 2022 with same complaint. Replaced inside air filters. No resolution/ taken to 3rd dealership 2023 late winter. It wasn't till )CT. 2023 same dealership taken to in late winter found converter: exhaust and catl crack in maniverter. Over $3,000 in repairs. Who can help me this car there is something wrong with it because I CA still smell the smell after spending all this money.

I cannot put gas in my car, continuously shuts off and spits fuel back out like its full. It takes about 20 minutes to get enough gas in it to feel like I can drive a little distance without worrying I will run out since it always acts as if its full. It also seems as if it wants to stall out at times and I just give it more gas. I have had this car for a few months now and im scared its going to stall and cause an accident. Having a difficult time with getting someone to work on it, codes will not diagnose. After reading I saw this had recalls in the past. Should this car have been recalled?.

Yes components available for inspection/ yes sold by dealership with undisclosed problems/ yes problems confirmed by dealer/ no component inspected. 1st noticed foul smell upon starting vehicle/ failure to start/ chugging/ brakes noise/ smell inside cab. Been verified noted vehicle was in flood??? all occurred beginning 2022. Could not get the vehicle in till 03/23. All dealerships backed up wait out 8 weeks. I have had my vehicle to 3 different certified dealerships. I bought an extended warranty that no one will honor. Bought a vehicle without the full disclosure[ reconditioning repair orders[.

I purchased the vehicle 4 months ago, and this began at the end of September. Engine stalls out when driving down the highway, check engine light and road hazard lights come on and car trying to accelerate itself at times and other times won’t go over 40 mph. If you let off the brake the car immediately launches forward. I have almost been hit as the car stalls out of no where. I can pull over and turn it off then back on and it will drive for a few miles then happen again. The car was hooked up to the code reader and it says throttle body injector p2173.

After filling fuel tank to full, cranking the ignition, shifting into drive, and beginning propulsion, the engine will occasionally stall. This requires me to stop, shift into park, and restart and rev the engine to prevent it from happening again, which it sometimes does. This malfunction often takes place in high-traffic areas such as intersections or onramps to the freeway.

While driving in heavy traffic, there was a red light and attempted to slow the vehicle. The engine started to jerk forward and the rpms were increasing without my foot on the accelerator! my foot was on the brake! I was able to turn into a gas station to get to a safer place to park the vehicle. While attempting to park in a parking space the vehicle continued to accelerate by itself, again my foot was applied to the brake pedal. I was literally fighting to stop the vehicle and almost ran into the barrier where customers were walking. Once turning off the vehicle and restarting the engine, it was operating correctly while I’m reverse. I then shifted into drive, and the vehicle lunged forward and the engine accelerated by itself. It drove up to 45 miles per hour without my foot on the accelerator and foot resting on the brake pedal. A complete stop was a fight, as soon as there was any brake pedal release the engine lunged forward.

I submitted a form yesterday and forgot to mention that there have been a few other odd things about the Jeep which I'm not sure how to explain. 1. There has, since day 1 of my purchase, test drive, etc, always been some weird whistling sound when driving. Very light, like the kind of whistle made with just your tongue at the roof of the mouth. Not a "full" whistle sound. 2. When going uphill, the engine squeals. And honestly has poor acceleration uphill in general. Very poor. But I thought it was how this make and model is. 4 cylinders aren't known for their awesome power and speed, after all. 3. Occasionally, the Jeep "tugs"? seemingly like how manuals switch between gears, but mine is an automatic. It does so unprovoked, not by my using the cvt option, randomly, at any speed. 4. Occasionally there would be a "dropping" kind of sound. Can't remember any particular details about that, but I think it may have happened more in the summer months. Again. All of these things, other than the last, had always been happening. I attributed it to make and model idiosyncrasies. I have noticed other recall issues listed with this Jeep that I glanced over, did not read them. Just so you know. But, after my engine went out, it made me reconsider all of these "odd" things that are probably connected. Oh yeah. . . Also. . . 5. I had to replace my engine throttle, supposedly brakes plus says it's also "normal" for this model. 6. My engine blew very shortly after an oil pan gasket fix, which I put off for a while. Makes me think there's a pressure problem with the engine in general, when combined with the other "symptoms", on hindsight. Like I said, I was an oil tech for jiffy lube, I am not a mechanic. But this experience may have taught me a thing or two about suspicious auto mechanisms.

Along with complaints 11466544 11466577 I want to add that I bought this car in November 2015. The engine blew in may 2021 with 104k miles. Not at all what would expect from a 2010+ model vehicle. And another thing . . . . I'm used to needing more regular tune ups. So, once a year -ish. . . I'd take the Jeep in for spark plug replacement, etc. Well, when I switched to the other brkes plus closer to my home, the tech told me that's not required for this Jeep. We actually kind of got into it. But, we're able to amicably come to agreement. Anyways, the other brakes plus did so without argument, at least twice. After me and dude from brakes plus had our lil tiff. . . I reevaluated my owners manual, and confirmed the spark plug thing. He was right. But one thing I always found odd. . . Was that transmission fluid replacement was not recommended untilb130,000. Did I find that odd?? yes! because I've was an oil tech at one point in my life. But! if that's what the manual says. . . Who am I to argue with that? I mention this because that was one of the things I saw when perusing over recalls, etc. A reviewer recommended to not wait until the manual's recommendation. Who was this person? idk. Is this accurate? the 130k thing? because when I got into my "argument" at brakes plus, my exact verbiage was I'm here for a tune up, I'm here to get done whatever needs to get done on this car. If manufacturer information is incorrect, that's a problem. I've had 2 cars repossessed. It was extremely important to me to maintain this vehicle and pay it off. I do have a little bit of a fondness for working on engines. No, I have not done anything to this engine myself. I know this isn't some top of a model line car, but it seemed like the perfect kind of engine to tinker on someday. But not at 104,000 miles. Not on a well maintained vehicle. I would also think that if the manual recommends 120000k trannie fluid replacement for the first time that the engine would last at least until then? lol.

Ah. . . Yes. And the most absolute weirdest thing of all about this Jeep- the manual that came with the Jeep (which I cant seem to find) stated 85 gas is recommended. Did I think that was weird? yes! it's a truck. Kinda heavy. . . Didn't expect 85 gas. But it's a 4cylinder, so ok. That manual was also not very thorough, for lack of a better term, so I purchased one. That manual stated 87. Put 87 in it. The Jeep lost acceleration power. Couldn't get above 35mph. Boomerang only takes 85. Weird. Didn't put too much thought into it. If I remember correctly, this issue always resolved on its own somehow. Not sure why. Anyhow. That has happened about 4 or 5 times under my ownership. Every now and again, after regular maintenance, I would kind of check it, to see. On several occasions, when I took it in for regular oil changes, I'd mention that issue, no one had anything to say about it. Other than it was weird. Agreed. Aside from the issues mentioned in complaints 11466583 11466544 11466577 it ran fine. I never considered those issues as disrupting my driving needs. I'm pretty much a city driver. Jobs were close by. Groceries. Occasional mountain and hiking trips- drives out of town, never towed anything. Thinking back to when I fixed my engine throttle and was told that would probably be a recurring theme, bc it's a Patriot, that whole gas thing really started nagging at me. Ok, Jeep gave me something to tinker on. No biggie. It's almost a 10 year old car. Something's bound to happen. Uh- but not a whole blown engine, that's for sure. This was, however, within the first year of covid, and I was driving considerably less, so that concern subsided. 3-4 months later, fixed oil pan gasket. 2-3 months after that, engine blew. Lastly, unless I remember something else- over the years I've seen numerous Patriots on the side of the highway and wondered what kinds of issues they had. Weird? yes. My engine literally never stalled out until last year. I must've been something right.

Ah- yes, the absolute most weirdest thing about this Jeep. When putting the recommended 87 gas in the tank, it loses acceleration power. The manual that came with it (which I cant seem to find) stated 85. Did I think that was weird? yes! it's a truck, kinda heavy, but it is a 4 cylinder- so ok Jeep. That manual, however, was not very thorough, so I purchased one. That one stated 87. Put 87 in it. Nope. Boomerang only takes 85. When 87 is put in, it loses acceleration power and won't go above 35 mph. The issue always seemed to resolve on its own. Not sure why, and I didn't put much thought into it. Every now and then I would try 87, same thing happened. This happened about 4 or 5 times under my ownership. I mentioned this several times at regular maintenance and oil changes. No one had much to say about it other than that was weird. Agreed. Aside from the issues mentioned in complaints 11466577 11466544 11466583 it ran fine. I never considered it as disrupting my driving needs. I'm pretty much a city driver. Jobs close by. Groceries. Some trips out of town and to the mountains. Never towed anything on it. So now, thinking back to when I fixed the engine throttle and was told that would be a recurring theme because it's a Patriot- ok, something's bound to happen, it's almost a ten year old car (at the time). The Jeep gave me something to tinker on- no biggie. But not a whole blown engine at 104k, that's for sure. And the combined issues started nagging at me. But it was after covid happened, I was driving considerably less, and that concern quickly subsided. 3-4 months later, fixed oil pan gasket. 2-3 months after that, engine blew. Lastly, unless I remember something else- over the years I've seen numerous Jeep Patriots on the side of the highway (looked like about the same year, make model)- and I always wondered what kind of issues they had. My engine never literally stalled out until last year. Weird? yes.

Something is wrong with the engine. I was told the engine is blown. I've maintained my vehicle and completed recommended repairs by brakes plus. I'd like to mention that as a former lube tech for jiffy lube, I am familiar with oil top offs. Naturally, I periodically checked my dip stick to confirm oil levels. It always read at an acceptable level. Did I think it was weird? no, because I'm not a mechanic. I just thought that's how Jeeps are. Go Jeep! I'm a fan. . . Well, my engine blew. Took it to brakes plus,l (towed), after a few check ups (towed each time)asked the techs how much oil was in the tank. Was told 2 quarts. I'm thinking that should have been reflected somehow on the dipstick. It wudnt. Since my car's been dead, thought I'd "experiment" with the oil readings. I have not driven the Jeep. Anyhow, put a quart in- low and behold. . . It reads way above the max fill marker. As far as I know, there's only about 3 quarts in there. Also, my engine always had this 'tick' . Again, did not find it weird, thought that's how Jeeps are. Noticed it on day one, asked the salesman, he stated that's normal for the Patriot. After this issue happened, I've found several youtube videos with explanations of valve cover adjustments being needed, cheap fix, supposedly. I've been quoted 4000-9000 for engine replacement. The valve adjustment thing. . I don't know, maybe they have selective hearing, or 4-9k sounds better, cuz no one has even acknowledged that I mentioned that, or cared to confirm. Regardless, the dipstick is wrong. Seems pretty important. Especially if my engine is, in fact, blown.

Engine stalls upon acceleration from a dead stop major safety concern. Mechanic says it’s crankshaft sensor which the 2016 Jeep Patriot recall was for the same issue.

Unknown after I fill up on gas at different stations I had the car sputter and die after filling up til the nozzle stopped itself went to go start the car the first time it happened I got maybe half a mile down the road and stopped at a light and the car died. The second time I was at another gas station and I forgot to shut the car off because it was freezing cold felt like a negative 10 I went to go leave and thought OH crap let me shut it off for a second so the gas would register faster of what I had then if I left it on. I went to go drive away then and the car wouldn’t move I thought great what could it be well I looked down and I wasn’t “on” so I restarted the car and I could tell the car started and I sat for a few and it died. I waited a few seconds and started it again and sat for a few and then was able to go about my business. The third time I filled up and didn't think anything of it because it had been awhile since it happened but I pulled out on the street and it was at a t intersection and I was coming up and to the left well when I turned I died and the light had changed to green I was barely able to make it into the turn lane from when I coasted I shut it off and turned it back on again and we were good. Well this is what happened last night I went to the gas station filled up and sat there for a second and went to start car and it died I wait a few did it again it died. I did this like 4-5 times and I wasn't far from home so I said let's just hurry up and get home. So I got it started and I was pushing the gas as little to keep it from dying and it made it about a mile down the road and acted like it was about to shut off. I made it home sat in the driveway for about 20 mins and it acted fine.

SUV intermittently stops with no warning which is unsafe. It’s been happening for a few weeks. I have been in traffic multiple times and the vehicle just stops with no warning and no engine light alert. I’ve almost been hit from behind since the vehicle loses all power and have to guide it to the side of the road or to the middle turn lane. I took the vehicle to ntb and the Jeep gave a code for camshaft. I know there was a recall for this, but it seem that my Jeep is not part of that recall. I’m not sure why because I’m having the same issue as the recall. Recall s89.

After filling up with gas, the vehicle sputtered, stalled and the steering locked up.

As my wife was heading to a doctor's appointment the electronic throttle body failed while she was on a busy highway during rush hour. The car had 51,524 miles on it. This is the second time that this part has failed. The first time was a little less than 40,000 miles. When this fails the vehicle loses power and becomes a rear-end collision hazard. I also own a 2016 Jeep Patriot and its throttle body failed at a little less than 40,000 miles.

Every time gas is filled to only the first click to stop or no click at all the car will stall after the fill. The car stalls every time not once in awhile but every time after a fill start it up then runs real ruff and stalls again. Every time it is filled up. The car stalls while getting on the freeway or street. Dealer state it is the fuel roll over sensor built in the fuel tank. Jeep knows this is a problem they are passing the buck on to the car owners. This is a safety issue when the car stalls. I need to pull over every time this happens and it is every time. They have to fix and recall this safety issue.

After filling up the gas tank, when I drive away, the car jerks and loses power for a minute with in a mile of leaving the gas station. Nj pumps gas for me so the tank is not overfilled. My power steering goes down for a moment as my car sputters. Then after a minute it drives great until the next time I fill up my tank. Forums have stated it is a bad charcoal cannister. Many Jeep Patriot owners have complained about this. It is very unsafe when this happens on the road. I fear driving my toddler now.

The cvt fluid filler tube broke where the braket is, about 12 inches broke off. Dont know how long its been broken, I found it when I was changing the electronic throttle body. This has happened to a lot of autos in the Chrysler family. Go to any Chrysler auto forum, I guarantee this will be something that has happened to 1 if not more people. Just google "broken cvt fluid filler tube" and it will all come up. This has to be a manufacture defect. Happening to too many people. They break at the same place, the bracket, no warning light indicator. . . . Nothing! it is usually found when something else is being done under the hood, then you see the broken piece just laying there. Thanking the lord you and your family are ok, because had this piece of metal tubing broke off and went flying anything could have happened. This situation has not been confirmed by a dealer or independent service center nor has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance rep. I am providing pictures of the piece that broke off. I bought the vehicle used in July 2021, have had my vehicle serviced twice and noone has ever noticed the broken tube, I had to replace my battery in October 2021never noticed the broken piece. Only until I personally replaced the electronic throttle body did I find the broken tube. And that was done yesterday Feb 19, 2022.

Every time I fill my gas tank it takes 20 minutes to fill it just keeps shutting gas off at handle. I have checked a Jeep forum it says it is a roll over valve in gas tank and entire tank has to be replaced at a cost of around 800. 00 to 1000. 00 dollars. It also caused engine to run rough and shut off a lot. This is something Jeep should have to repair at their cost not consumers. It has been going on for about 6-8 months and it scare me each time it happens thank you.

Cannot fill gas tank correctly. 30 seconds at a time due to gas tank roll over vale failure according to everything we have found on this issue with other owners. This is a serious problem that needs to be recalled. It cost around 800. 00 to replace gas tank. . Please investigate issue and respond to tme4va1@gmail. Com. I am doing this for my daughter she needs help with this issue it is a ongoing issue that started about 1 year ago thank you randy miller.

While slowly accelerating from a stop, my 2016 Jeep Patriot engine stalled in the middle of a busy intersection. I lost power steering and & brakes and was luckily able to muscle the car over to the side of road out of traffic. I waited several minutes and restarted the engine which then operated normally afterward. This engine stalling has occurred repeatedly & more frequently (6+ times in last 10 days) while accelerating from a stop which is very dangerous in cross-traffiic intersections and on freeways. Additionally now, the engine rpm’s intermittently surge notably up and down +/- 2,000 rpm while driving with steady un-changing pressure on gas pedal. I have seen no engine failure indicators. I have had this vehicle serviced at two different independent repair shops that couldn’t re-create the problem & guessed it was the throttle body and then cleaned/serviced it. The problem persists more frequently, and is the exact problem listed in the s89 chryslerjeep recall. My VIN is not referenced in the recall notice-even though it is from the same Jeep manufacture period. This recall should definitely apply to my vehicle. I drive 40 freeway miles daily to work and am concerned for my safety and others. My vehicle is available for inspection if needed and I am bringing it tomorrow to a Jeep dealer in hopes of having it repaired under the recall. As the original new owner, I strongly feel that Chrysler Jeep needs to apply this recall to my vehicle and support their owner’s safety.

Premature shutoff during fueling at gas pump (every two- to three-tenths of a gallon), causing long delays at each fill-up. Previous owners have reported diagnoses by certified mechanics of stuck rollover valves, which have been recalled in other fiat-chryslet products but not yet for the Jeep Patriot model.

Car shuts off after fueling. Is a common problem with other Jeep owners found on google. My mechanic actually found the articles. Apparently it is a rollover valve issue. Like others have suggested, not to fill the fuel tank full unless you want to pay over $1000 for a new gas tank. I don't want to drive in fear this car is going to keep shutting off. Why hasn't this been fixed when so many others have had the same issue?.

Yes I got a oil change now the warning light comes on change oil and I talk to others that drive a vehicle like mine and they have the same issue it’s time for a recalled on it before it caused more problems thanks.

While turning a corner my car turned off. Happened on several occasions. Has happened on highway, in town and in parking lot. At low speeds and accelerating- car stalls & turns off. Very dangerous.

Throttle conrol sensor redlightning bolt on dash, after Jeep seemed to loose power. Check engine light. Available upon request. Had to drive home with virtually no exceleration with hazzards on due to unusual dangerous circumstances. Jeep problem not confirmed by dealer. Needs to be towed, for fear of safety. Disheartened,and without a vehicle hoping this can be affordable to fix or fixable at all.

I believe the roll over safety valve inside the gas tank is faulty, and have noticed many others having the same issue in forums. The vehicle will not accept fuel, and acts as if it is full. Sometimes if you hit the bottom of the fuel tank with a rubber mallet, the valve will unstick and accept fuel again for a short while.

On 9/22/21, out 2016 Jeep Patriot broke down on interstate 495 in massachusetts, during rush-hour. While driving the vehicle, the engine shut down at highway speed, forcing us off of the road. A red indicator light on the dashboard identified the problem as a bad "throttle body". We had the car towed to the dealer where we bought the vehicle, and they confirmed that is was a bad throttle body. Repair cost was $841. 00. There was a recall for this part, but the recall only covered vehicles built between may and July 2016. Having an indicator light on the dashboard for this single part. . . Is very telling. It shows that Jeep has a lot of problems with this part. But since our vehicle was built prior to this small recall window, and has more miles on than the standard warranty would cover, Jeep will not reimburse us for the repair.

***vehcile was purchased January 2021. Later found out the 2015 Jeep Patriot I purchased had 5 previous owners. . . Making me the 6th owner. *** sept 2021 I was driving during rush hour on busy las vegas city street when out of nowhere and no warning my 2015 Jeep Patriot lost power. . . 3 dashboard lights came on (lightning bolt/check engine light/traction control). I was able to coast into a hotel parking lot after crossing 3 lanes of traffic. Once parked, I shut the vehicle off, waited about 10-15 seconds tried restarting it again and to no avail the problem persisted. Had the car towed to mechanic shop where they determined/diagnosised the problem to be the throttle body and it needed to be replaced. Car was no longer under warranty so I had to come out of pocket almost $1000. All this during the covid 19 pandemic. When I picked up the vehicle from the mechanic they informed me the traction control light is still on because my rack/pinion was damaged so my alignment is out of whack. They allowed me to drive off with my vehicle even when the alignment being screwed up. When driving my vehicle home, I was so scared because it felt like my vehicle wanted to go in every direction at the same time. The next day I took my vehicle to big o tires to have them test the alignment. After they re-aligned the Jeep it ran perfect. But I spoke to soon. . . Just after 1 week, im now starting to experience more issues. . . Car accelerating on its own, hesitation when trying to take off from red light, back firing from either the tail pipe or under the hood (almost seems like the engine is being flooded out with to much gas), my gas mileage has gotten worse. This vehicle should be recalled!!!.

Every single time after putting gas, my car wont go further than 10 feet without turning off/stalling. Some times it wont turn back on and takes several tries to get it back up and running. I feel at risk for my life and those in the car with me because not only does it stall but my steering wheel locks everytime and I am unable to move or do anything. God forbid one day it stops and a car is headed in my direction I will be stuck in place. I have read online multiple people have had this issue but no one can seem to find a definitive solution. This started to happen around winter of 2019/spring 2020 and has been happening ever since. The date I recorded below is the most recent time it's occurred.

After fueling the vehicle completely, the engine stalls multiple times while in motion. This happens for a few miles and re-starts before running normal again. When the engine stalls, the vehicle cannot accelerate and power-steering is not operable. The vehicle's engine has stalled when entering a highway and turning with cross-traffic. I fear myself and passengers will be struck by a moving vehicle with no control of the subject vehicle. A local mechanic stated the entire gas tank needs replaced but cannot confirm it will correct the defect. There is no warning when the engine stalls. This is my second complaint after years of no response. These events are ongoing.

A recall has been issued on 2016 Jeep Patriots that are VIN specific (recall s89). However even though our vehicle was included in the manufacturing dates portion of the recall, it was not included in the VIN specific portion. The vehicle is doing the exact things that are included in the recall - it constantly stalls while driving on the interstate or in town. Shutting down the engine totally and then making it where the power steering and brakes do not function and is an extreme dangerous situation for a female driver to try and control and restart the vehicle without getting in an accident. I feel that my vehicle should be included in this recall and that Jeep should repair my vehicle free of charge. I would hate for someone to get injured for not including this vehicle in a recall that is only VIN specific.

After refueling car stalls when this happens loss of power steering brakes etc dangerous entering busy roads from gas stations been happening consistently, many other owners report same problem across multyears of manufacture.

Can't pump gas without it shutting off within seconds of trying to auto click handle. It is taking average 15-25 minutes to pump a tank of gas. It is by passing the auto shut off so gas could spew out of tank when full. This is happening every week when I go get gas, estimate 4 months now. Doesn't matter if cold or hot outside but I am already tired of holding handle trying to get gas in the tank. I read that Chrysler is looking at 2011-2012 models due to the gas tank is split and has valve line that is defective. I have to turn ignition key on so I can see when I put enough gas in vehicle multiple times to get a full tank. I am the original owner. No warning messages that alert for condition. This is unsafe.
