Jeep PATRIOT problems and owner complaints

I WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND MY VEHICLE STALLED ON ME, IT BEGAN TO SHAKE A BIT BEFORE IT TURNED OFF. IN ORDER TO GET THE VEHICLE BACK ON, I HAD TO TURN THE KEY TO OFF, PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, THEN TURN THE VEHICLE BACK ON. UNFORTUNATELY, I'VE BEEN HAVING THIS ISSUE SINCE 2007 AND WE ARE IN 2013. I HAVE TAKEN THE SUV TO JEEP MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM, EVEN AFTER LEAVING IT FOR OVER A WEEK. LAST WEEK, I WAS MAKING A U-TURN WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED ON ME ONCE AGAIN. I DREW THE LINE AND I'M READY TO TAKE LEGAL ACTION.…

AT A STOPLIGHT IDLING, THE ENGINE RPM'S DIP BELOW 500 AND THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO SHUDDER AND THEN STALLS OUT. IF THE SHIFTER IS MOVED TO NEUTRAL THE SHUDDERING STOPS. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A JEEP DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM, THE VEHICLE DISPLAYED NO TROUBLE CODES AND THERE WERE NO RECALL NOTICES IN THEIR SYSTEM. IT HAPPENS ONLY AT VERY SLOW SPEEDS (1ST GEAR) OR WHEN IDLING. *TR

THIS 2007 JEEP PATRIOT BEGAN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE CVT APROXIMATELY ONE YEAR AFTER I PURCHASED (2011). WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON THE HIGHWAY VEHICLE SLOWED TO ABOUT 10 MPH THEN CHUGGED QUITE A BIT BEFORE REFUSING TO START AGAIN. REPLACED TRANSMISSION TWICE AT $3,500 (2012) FOR THE FIRST AND $4,500 (2013) FOR THE SECOND ONE, ALSO PURCHASED THE 5 YEAR WARRENTY ON THE SECOND CVT TRANY. VEHICLE IS IN THE SHOP EVERY 3 MONTHS TO WORK ON TRANSMISSION AS OF TODAY (8-6-2015), WHICH IS VERY FRUSTRATING.

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 GO…

I BOUGHT MY 2007 JEEP PATRIOT THE END OF MAY OF 2007 AND IT STARTED LEAKING FROM THE DOME LIGHT THE FIRST RAIN WE HAD...A WEEK AFTER I BOUGHT IT. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AT FIRST TO GET IT FIXED SINCE THE LEAKING KEPT RECURRING AND IT WAS COVERED BY WARRANTY. THE TUBING END WAS CRUSHED AND TWISTED WAS THE FIRST DIAGNOSIS. I LOST FAITH IN HAVING THE PROBLEM FIXED. I DEALT WITH THE LEAKING DOME LIGHT BUT NOW OTHER ISSUES HAVE ADDED TO THE DISAPPOINTMENT. WATER NOT ONLY POURS OUT OF THE DOME LIGHT BUT LEAKS INTO SPARE TIRE, CARPET…

WHEN THE TANK IS FILLED, THE ENGINE STALLS SOON AFTER LEAVING THE GAS STATION. THE VEHICLE BUCK AND STALLS, AND QUITS COMPLETELY. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN IT IS IN TRAFFIC OR DURING A TURN AS STEERING AND BRAKES NON-FUNCTIONAL. HAVE REPLACED CHARCOAL CANISTER BUT NOW MECHANIC INFORMS ME THE WHOLE GAS TANK ASSEMBLY NEEDS REPLACEMENT. WORK-AROUND FOR NOW IS TO NOT FILL THE TANK UP ALL THE WAY.

THE DAY AFTER MY JEEP WAS PURCHASED, IT WOULD NOT START. WE BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND WERE TOLD IT WAS THE IGNITION SWITCH. THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS WITH THE JEEP FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS, BUT THEN THE CAR STARTED SHUTTING OFF WHILE WE WERE DRIVING. IT WOULD ALWAYS A CUT BACK ON THOUGH. NOW IT WILL NOT START AT ALL. THE ALTERNATOR HAS BEEN CHANGED AND SO HAS THE BATTERY, BUT THE CAR STILL WILL NOT EVEN START WITH A JUMP. *TR
